POSTAL cards are about the
size of an ordinary envelope,
bearing on one side the i'm.
preston of q postage stamp
and space for the address, while
the other side is lett blank for
any brief letter of such chars
a;ter that it does not need to
be sealed up. The advantage
to tho public Of this device
over the cumbrous method in
common use, which requires a
sheet Of paper, an envelope,
folding, sealing, and stamping,
is m manifest, while the govern.
ment gains an equal benefit

the mail matter. Belgium was
the first to adopt cards, and on
the lst of last month they went
into use in England. Our gov
eminent is considering the OK.

and, if 1t does, Will probably

WE mention in another place

We mention in another place
that the people of Macarthur
are agitating the question of
getting a clock to PIT upon
their Court House, now that
they are making important re-
pairs upon it. We were in ia
vor of getting a clock for our
Court House, and now that we
have tried it, we would not do
without il for twice what 1T
cost. 1t is so very convenient
for persons who desire to leave
on the trains, to .have a stand
ard of time which can be seen
from any part of our town. 1t
is of far more use to people in
from The country than it Is for
the people Of the town. Any
one, at "a glance, can tell the
time, and if a man desires to
start homo at say three, four,
or any other hour, he can tell
at once when his time has ar
rived.

$50 per.year TO have it wound

The frame and movement

An Alteration Of the Lords
Prayer.

A few years ago nothing
W I'D have seemed more inn
probable than the deliberate al.
iteration, by an authoritative
body Of Christian clergymen
and orthodox Bible scholars, Of
the phraseology and meaning
OF the Lords Prayer, yet such
has been the case. The New
Testament revisionists, now in
session in London, have voted
that the literal translation Of
the phrase, "deiiyer US from
evil" should be, "deliver us
from the evil one;" and they
have decided to expunge the
doxology at the end Of the
prayer, as absent from all the
earlier manuscripts. Thus
shorn and altered the great
prayer of ages will sound un.
familiar indeed.

PULASKI TENNESSEE, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER

" The song of the Army of the Rhine, :"
as he had entitled his wonderful COM
position. Lamertine thus describes
the scene: " At the first strOphe every
face turned pale-at the second tears
were flowing the third enthusiasm
burst out! Dietrich, his wife and the
young officer cast themselves weeping
into each others arms. The hmm Of
pr RdtiEe IdJld GCCtS .fOtDld1 ~ The
writer continues Alas it was also
to be the hymn of terror. A few
months afterwards the unfortunate
Dietrich marched to the scaffold to the
sound of these very notes, notes born at
his own hearth, from the heart of his
friend and the voice of his wife, A
few days afterwards the new song
was publicly sung in StraasbOurg.
From thence it flew from city to city.
A band of men who were marching
from Marseilles to Paris sung it every.
where on OH their route, and thus it
acquired the name La NIARSBILLAISE
pronounced marselyais.) De PIsle's
mother was pious and royalist she
wrote to her son: "What revolution
ary hymn is this that a horde of bri-
gands are singing and with which your
name is connected ?" De PIsle him
self, afterwards prescribed and flying
IOI Ills 4AI0J 1I6elAu the AOt0S Vi Ills sung
which sounded in his ears like threat
of death as he was making his way
through the passes of the Java naRuJ
tains. ''What do they cal. that hyInn?''
he asked of his guide. "The Marseil-
laise," answered the countryman, and
so he came to know the name of his
own work. Lamartine concludes by
saying "He was pursued by the en-
thusiasm he had spread behind him.
He narrowly escaped death; the wea-
that forged it! In its madness the revo-
luton failed to recognize its own
voice ~

Skill in Trailing.

In lians in our Western prairies are
famous for their skill in following trails;
but it is possible that some of the half
breeds in the old Spanish States of
South America are even more acute.
A traveller gives an account of one of
them:
During the year 1880, a criminal had
escaped from Jail. and Calibar was
charged to find him. The unhappy
man, knowing that he would be track
ed, had taken all the precautions which
the fear of the scaffold could invent.
Useless precautions! Perhaps they
only helped to ensnare him: for Cali
bar felt that his reputation might be
compromised, and self-pride caused
him to acquit himself well.
The runaway took every advantage
of the unevenness of the ground, so as
to battle his n5lrsuer; but his efforts
only proved tne marvellous sight of
the trailer.
He walked the whole length of a
street on tip-toe, then climbed low
walls, crossed a pasture, and returned
in his own tract.
Calibar followed, without losing the
trail. If he momentarily missed it, it
was soon recovered. At last he arrived
at canal of water in the suburbs,
where the fugitive had followed the
current, to foil the trailer But in vain
&libar followed along the shore, with
out any uneasineSs, and, at last, stOp+
ped to examine some grass, with the
words, At this place he came out;
there is no track, but these drops of wa
ter in the pasture indicate it."
The fugitive had entered a vineyard.
Calibar surveyed with his eye the walls
that surrasslded it, and said, - He is
attended him sought in the vineyard
without success. At length they be-
came tired of hunting, and retNrned to
report the useIessness of their search.
" He has not come out, Tas the brief
answer which the trailer gave, without
moving himself, or proceeding to new
examination. He had not come out,
indeed. Another search discovered
him, and on the following day he was
executed.

The MarSeillalse.

The NaTSellIalSe, the French nation
al hymn, which Louis Napoleon has
long prescribed, is once more heard in
every theatre, street and village in
France, stirring the peoples hearts to
brave deeds; and re-aWaking aspirations
for national freedom. 1t was written
in the earlier and purer days of the
fierce revolution, and has ever since
been, as in times of eXciiements, the
spontaneous expression of the national
heart. Lamartine gives an interesting
account Ofits origin in his Historic DIES
GirOndistes. Its author was ROuget
de PIsle, a young officer warmly at
tached to the cause of liberty. In 1892
he was on duty at StraasbOurg, where
he was on intimate terms with the
Mayor of the city, Baron Dietrish. He
was poet and composer OF music the
BaTon's wife, a lady of great intelli-
gence, admired his talents and treated
him as brother. 1t was winter, fam
inc was in the city, when-One day
after a dinner of munitiOn bread and
some slices of ham-the Baron brought
out his last bottle of wine. He invited
De PIsle to drink with him to liberty
and tG 9OGtTte-Our native land-adding:
" De PIse must draw from the inspira-
ton of these last drops a hymn that
will fill the people with enthusiasm ~
The young ladies present applauded
this suggestion. De PIsle became
thoughtful, and went away late into
the cold night, with an agitated heart
and excited mind. In his chilly, sOli-
taTy room, inspiration gradually reused
his soul. Sometimes wOlds arranged
themselves, hot and glowing, in his
mind-sometimes bars of an air flowed
from his fingers as they glided over the
keys of the instrument. The air came
mingled with the words, and the words
with the air in such manner that he
could not himself tell which was com
posed first. Iamertine says: "QWt
etuit impossible de separd LCt p0esie dc
Id llluSigLe. ct Ie sentiment de u erpTes-
sjoJ1;" "It was impossible to separate
the poetry from the music, or the feel
ing from the expression" He sung all
and wrote nothing. He fell asleep at
last, wearied out, his head lying on the
instrument. When he awoIle it was
daylight. Words and air fingered in
his mind, like dream. ROusing him
self, he wrote them out and at once ran
with them to the Mayors residence.
The Baron awoke his wife, who had
not yet arisen; he next sent for several
musical friends, and accompanied by q
young lady, Rouget de PIsle, sung
