Base Ball blackguardism hasn't come;
that great American calamity which takes
lads from their trundle-beds, and, putting
blue caps on their crowns, crowns them

Neither A. ]. nor Quarles, is expected
to come here from KNOXVILLE, to dig up
and seek to degrade the dead body of the
once beloved old Whiggery, which its old
and worthy YOtaries carried for three
years after its death in their arms, and
which they would be carrying stillif their
failure to embalm its dear remains

But one Life Insurance agent was ever
here, and he came by mistake and left
disguised when he discovered that no one
ever had or could or would die here. or
even have enough fear of the grim mon
ster TO spend shilling in his foolish
ness.
No gravcyards in this vicinity, and
life insurance men are invited to make a
note of il, and if they are sick send a
substitute who can't talk man into
fits.
If any sewing maching men feel like
coming, they can leave their shop be-
hind them, for there are no stitchings
here, not even in our sides.
Queen Fashion has furloughed the Ia |
dies here for this season and gave Dor |
dering with the straw-cOlOred curls of |
her court TO other interviewings; and |
the pateTnals had better observe the point |
and send their female department here |
before they are caught spending coolies of |
money for fine clothes to 60 to higher up |
and higher priced places where every |
body is too high to be hGppy like US.
There are no "three- cornered cross |
cut eyed Chinese here to torture musi- |
cal cnOrmities out of One-stringed fiddles, |
and nobody is going from here to inter |
view them on the cars. There are no |
rats here for them TO cat, and we will |
have none caught in Tullahoma for
them.

is a man here who will give an interesting
summary of the reasons he didn't make a
secret run for Congress, and will show
you how easy he could be clected-don't

THE PKUSSIANLINE OEDEFENSE.
If the news from Europe is true that
the Prussians have retired from their line
on the French frontier and are concen-
trating at Coblenz and Mayence, it would
imply either positive movement by the
French army on their right flank or
demonstration in the same direction threat
ening their line of communication.
While we have nothing more from France
than the bare act of the army having
