1t certainly couldn't have been be-
cause the Professor had any reason
to think he would take good care of
it-for Goggs never took care of
anything. And the Professor tho't
more of that skeleton than he did
at least the boys said so-than he
did of his wife, or his pew at chap
el Gt had cushions,) or his ten chill
dren, or his silk hat. So you can
easily see that he must have thought
great deal of the skeleton. How
ever, they are generally those of us
who desire the least to get the most
in this world, and the fact remains,
that when the Professor went to
New York to deliver an address be-
fore the Society for Vivisccting
Etherized Rabbits, Goggs had the
skeleton.
"You had better hang it up in a
dry, roomy place, said the Profess
or, after the lecture on the Cerebel-
lum. He looked the horrid thing all
over regretfully, and tenderly strok-
ed its empty skull. 81 think you
will quite-quite enjoy it, said the
Professor; he wiped his spectacles
little. 81 have found it, l do as
sure you, Goggs; l have found that
specimen excellent company!'
The Professor looked lonely,
trudging away with his carpet bag
to his ethcrized rabbits. Goggs
felt sorry for him. He took the
skeleton carefully to his room, and
carefully hung it up in his closet.
Goggs roomed in the fourth story of
"North Middle" close under the sti-
fling attic and the blistering roof of
the blindness, shadeless, dusty dor
mitory-consequently, he found his
closet "dry" place. Goggs gen.
orally put his clothes where il would
be least trouble to get them again,
and this was generally on the closet

THE greatness of Arkansas is hard
ly appreciated. We surely have a
very unworthy apprehension of the
wealth Of the imperial State, of which
Memphis is really a constituent part.
With hardly an effort to prevent it,
Memphis tr~adespeople suffer other
cities to divert the trade of Arkansas,
not alone by railways but by lines of
steamers, costing little and paying
enormous gains. A statistician says
that "the taxable value of the real es-
state of Arkansas for 1870, is S12O, OOO,-
900; personal property, $780, zoo, 900;
total Of taxable property, $50, 600, 900.
The debt of the.State is SO, 43O, 900, less
than 3 per cent of the taxable valua-
ton" The debt is funded in thirty
years 6 per cent bonds, and a special
tax of one-fourth Of l per cent is levi
ed to pay the interest. OF 81, 300, 900
acres of land owned by the State, 800,
600 acres, worth from ten to forty dol
lars per acre, are set apart for the grad
nal payment of the State debt. Of the
other 1900, 600 acres, much of it is
rich in minerals and timber, and in
some Of the best cotton lands
in the State. Arkansas is rich in
iron, lead, zinc, marble, coal, gypsuG,
salt, etc. The cotton crop of 1869 was
100000 bales; Of other farm products,
$50, 900, 900.
Memphis has three railway lines de
to develop and draw hither
the boundless wealth Of Arkansas.
These are aided very sparingly, if at
all, by the people Of this city, while
st. Louis sends steamers into every
and railway lines to the very
center of the State. New Orleans,

WALTHAM WATCHES.

n5-The extensive use of these Watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors,
Engineers and Expressmen, the most exact
ing of watch-wearerS, has thoroughly demon
stTated the strength, steadiness, durability
and accuracy OF the Waltham Watch. To
satisfy thai class in all these respects, is TO
these time-keepers.
More than o of these
Watches are now speaking for themselves in
the pockets OF the people-a proof and a
guarantee oftheir superiority over alt others.

them TO produce watches at a price which
renders competition futile, and those who

ture OF any k1ndin the United States of which
this can be said.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in Matchmaking
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe
testingb the most skillfuf artisans in our
works. and long use on the part of the public,
demonstrated TO be essential to correct and
enduring ume-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize;
The invention and use of a entre-pinion of
peculiar construction, TO prevent damage to
the train by the breakag Of main springs, is
original with the American Watch Company,
Who havin had the refusal of all other con-
trivsnces, adopted Fogg's Patent piniOn as
being the best and faultleSS.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by w-atchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof
caps, protecting the movement from dust
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.

Rock to Pine Bluff, Vieksburg and
Few Orleans: A mile or more of this
road is built every day. Must the

Iy, to st. Louis one the one hand, and
to New Orleans on the other? In
what consists a sure mode Of escape
from these great calamities? The dis
lance from st. Louis to the ocean is sc
great that agricultural and mineral

the sea through Few Orleans and Sa-

pels Kansas and Northwestern Mis-
souri,, and Omaha, and all Central Ar
kansas to confess that Memphis is
nearer the ocean at Savannah or Mo-
bile than st Louis. In truth, thecon-
struction of Forests road necessarily
compels the West to make this city the
point at which grain, hemp, bacon
and flour will be exchanged for cot
ton, sugar, rice, tobacco, and for the
fruits and products of South America
and the West Indies. Arkansas can
no more send its annual products
through st. Louis to New York than
Kansas City, which cofesses the
absolute necessity for an outlet to
the ocean through Memphis. For
rests road shortens the railway dis
lance from Memphis to Savannah
one hundred and sixty miles, and
this distance will be lessened even
more until competition for heavy ag-
ricuIturaI products on the part of st.
Louis becomes impossible. Surely
taxpayers and merchants will not
fail to insure the construction of the
Selma road. Laboring men are for
it, and property holders must settle
the question.

fourths of the States. These sixteen
States, comprising nine-tenthS Of the
population, and probably that proper
ton of the wealth of the whole
Union, cannot alter or amend the
Constitution if the other twenty-five
States, with but One-tenh Of hePeopte,
oppose it. Again To amend the
Constitution requires the approval OF
tbree-foavtbs. or twenty-eight OF the
tbirtv-eight States. There are twenty
eight States with but 16, 500, 600 people;
and vet these twenty-eight States can
alter the Constitution, despite the OPP
position of the twenty-five and a a
millions in the other ten States.
Can estate sovereignty need a more
compIete vindication? Does not the
illustrations prove, beyond all cavll,
that Webster was wrong in his theory
that ours is a popular Govern
ment," or one of popular mGJoT't'e
other than of States?
The coming struggle upon this ques-
ton will be the same old contest
about the usurpation of powers; a
usurpation exercised by all tyran-
MES in all ages, and we cannot avert
it if we would. The ultimate charae-
ter of our Union hangs on the verdict
which the people of the several States
will pronounce during the next two
years. In the better days Of the
Republic, it was not deemed "disloy-
al" to question the political wisdom
of Wash ngtOn, Jefferson or Jackson;
but. to question the wisdom of Grant,
Morton, Butler and BrOwnlow is
treason" and merits swift punish
ment in the form of Reconstruction"
Never was there an opportunity more
suspicious or inviting than the pres
ent, for a popular leader, who would
seize the movement when madness
hesitates and hope takes new life.
The country needs a Henry or a Clay,
who will defend the rights of States
and peoples, and carry the war into
Africa, by denouncing the destructive
and infamous designs of Radicals who
think that governments are made to
Cypress rather than protect, and who
would perpetuate their rule by arous-
ing passions calculated to make the
Union one of discord and hatred rath-
er than of confidence,and esteem. The
country needs a great commOner who
will hold up. Morton and allies as
monsters whose mission is not to re-
store kindly relations between the
people of the several States, but to
erect a terrible despotism on the ruins
of American liberty.

THE Knoxville Press and Herald is
a very honest jOurnal-it not only
paws, but promises far, and not
only advocates paying all just debts
but all unjust ones as well. No mat
ter how a claim is set up, no matter
how a so-called debt is contracted4
whether by honest men and by hon
est means, or by Radical carpeters,
thieves, swindlers and robbers, it is
all the same and must be paid. So
| teaches the Press and Herald, whose
honesty is so rank as to be above all
suspicion, in paying everything that
comes along. So fearful is it of the
shame of reputation that it dare not
refuse to redeem promises made at
the dictation Of the bayonet, made in
behalf ofthe people by thieves stealing
from the people, and made in defiance
of every principle set up in the bill of
rights and designed to protect the peO-
pie against plunderers. Thus it advO-
Gates a precedent for honesty, which,
when fully adopted, will make courts
of Justice wholly unnecessary in money
matters. The plan is to pay all de-
mands, and thus completely escape
the shame of reputation. The Press
and Herald says:
1t requires no argument to prove that
the people of this State have been grossly
swindled, and that an enormous and un-
necessary burden of debt has been laid
upon them by the mercenary and alto
gether corrupt men, who m~is-governed
Tennessee from the close of the war until
the overthrow OF the Radical power in
1869. During that period of time, the
bonds of the State were lavishly given,
without due authority of law, to men
who squandered the money in every con-
ceivable manner. The long story of Rad
zeal misrule and corruption need not here
be repeated. 1t is known to all men.
The Conservatives int this debt left to
them by the BrOwnlOw regime. While
d~enouncing and Furnishing TO the utmost
extent of the law, the men who have been
concerned in d~efrauding the State, yet
we, and we speak in behalf of the COnser-
vative masses of Tennessee, would have
our Legislature declare that the deb
shall be honestly paid.
We think this kind of honesty is
rather sickly and sentimental than rO-
bust. To submit tamely to injustice
is to encouragement foster it. Paying
unlawful demands upon us is akin to
compromising ,,or'refusing to prosecute
felonies to get ridEof the trouble Of
prosecution. We owe no such duty,
and'we. fear,not the shame" Of repu-
d~iating::..the1 unnecessary burden Of
debt "swith which, if they pay it, the
people of the State will not only be

the operations of the thieves. We de-
ny that the. Conservatives Of Tennes-
see will give such consent. The Press
and Herald maySpeak in their name,
but it is without authority. The Just
debts of the State will be WinnOWed
out and paid to the uttermost farthing.
The unjust will be resisted and repu-
dated. Bonds "lavishly given with
