A SERIOUS JoKE.-The other day an
excessively humorous Canadian came upon
a small snake in the woods. and, carefully
entrapping it, waited until night, and pia-
ced it between the sheets of an old gentle
mans bed. The victim retired as usual,
and had barely covered himself when the
reptile began to crawl over him. Pa-aly-
zed with horror; he lay still until the
snake had left him, and then, half dead
with terror, fed from the bed and around
the house. He was told that the affair
was Intended as joke. and the author
was designated. That idiotic scamp took
counsel of discretion, fed the town, and
has not yentured to return, though bis
absence costs him fine position and his
home.

HIS HEAD WAS LEvEL.-A New York
wholesale grocer, who had become rich in
his business, has lately made the following
revelation. He says his rule always was
when he sold bill of goods on credit, TO
Immediately, subscribe for the local paper
of his debtor. So long as his customer
advertised literally and vigorously, he
rested, but as soon as he began to contract
his advertising space, he took the fact as
evidence that there was trouble ahead, and
he invariably went for his debt. For
said he, ''the man who feels too poor to
make his business" This Withdrawing OF
an advertisement is an evidence of weak
ness that business men are not slow to oh
serve.

who have served a much longer apron
ticeship. Many of them have adopted our
dress and all are more or less advanced in
the Hnowledgc of the English language

habits have done much to dispel the preju-
dice originally existing against them. and
the announcement that they arc soon to be

is received without protest or indignation.

Wool Growing I'M East Tennessee

MEssRs. EDITORS 1T is a conceded
fact we believe that sheep husbandry i:
the foundation of all good farming
throughout the civilized world. 1t enters
largely into the agriculture of England
where they have reached higher stand
ard than any where else. Wool growing
as a speciality, is making astonishing de-
velopments upon the plains of South
America.
In Australia, portions of Africa and
other tropical and semi tropical countries

thing suited to our exhausted and poverty
stricken condition and other very large
portions of the Southern States. There
is very great difference between raising
sheep for mutton and raising them for

the two may be combined, the one or the
other predominating, controlled entirely
by surrounding circumstances. Fancy

The considerations that decide between
wool and mutton, and consequently the
kind of sheep to be kert, are so plain
when understood that no one need err in
the least. The native sheep ofthis coun-
try are almost worthless, and. also, of al
most all the other stock kept upon the
farm. Its character tells most shame
full story upon the agriculture of tlis
country. The best policy is to cross our
native stock with thorough bred animals
and continue In that direction. Never
for moment think of breeding back to
the original stock, nor think of establish

HOMAGEATO BEAUTY.
BY GEO. d. PRENTICE.


Beautiful girl! have wandered far
| Toward the rising sun and the evening
star;
have roamcd mid the northern waste:
of snow,
And strayed where the soft magnolia,
blow;
But never gazcd on face SO bright
As thine, sweet spirit of young delight
Beautiful girl though art bright and fail
As an angel shape i'm the moonlight air
No shadow rests on thy brow of snow,
Save that of thy tresses drOopmg low.
Loves own dear delight is wandering of
Ger thy gentle lip of carmine soft;
Thy lovely cheek, where the rich rec
glow
or thy warm blood melts through tho
virgiH snow,
So sweetly blending i'm one bright dye,
The woven beauties of earth and sky.
Truth, holy truth, in its freshness dwells
Deep in thy dark eyes shaded wells,
And fancies wild from their clear depths
gleam,
Like shadows of stars from q trembling
stream,
And thy thoughts are dream of Eden's
And thy words are garlands of flowers
bright flowers!
Beautiful girl I've seen thee move,
A floating creature of joy and love.
AS light as q mist on the sunrise gale.
Or the buoyant sway of the bridal veil,
Till almost looked to see thee rise
Like a soaring thought to the free blue
skies,
Or melt away in the thin, blue air,
Like vision of fancy painted there.
Thy low, sweet voice, as it thrillsTround
Seems less a sound than dream of sound;
Softly and mildly its clear notes swell,
Like the spirit-tones of a silver bell,
And the lip whence the fairy music flows
Is to fancy's eye like a speaking rose.
Beautiful, beautiful girl thou art
A vision of JOY to n throbbing heart;
A star sent down from the world of bliss
And all undimmed by the shades of this,
A rainbow pictured by Loves own sun
On the clouds of being, beautiful one!
Beautiful girl, tits a weary year
Since thy voice fell on my ravished ear,
Ills long, long year of light and gloom
Since l gaZed OH thy young cheek s lovely
bloom,
Yet thy gentle tones of music still
Through the hOliest depths of memory
thrill
Like tones Of a fount, or breeze or bird,
In the long gone years of childhood heard
And oft in my dark and lonely moods,
When demon wing over my spirit broods
Thine image seems OH my soul to break
Like the sweet young morn Ger gloomy
lake,
Filling its depths rs the shadows flee,
With beauty and love and melody.
Beautiful girl :! thou art far away,
And L know not where thy steps now
stray;
But oh it's sweet, it is very sweet
In the fairy realms of dreams to greet
Thy cheek of rose, thy brow of pearl,
And thy voice of music, beautiful girl

Owing to the utter arrangement of the teie-
graph system from Chicago, consequent on
the late terrible confagration, the special cor
respondents of the HERALD at that city have
been unable to get more than mere oatline
dispatches through to New York. This
morning we are enabled to present to our
readers q graphic, comprehensive and con-
nected account Of that terrible disaster, from
its inception to the bitter end of destruction,
as Witnessed by ons Of our special correspond
ents stationed in the city during the burning.
1t will be found to convey in series of
vivid pictures what resident felt
at seeing the great town clothed in
the awful majesty Of fra and withering
beneath that lurid raiment until the scenes
from history, of cities laid in ashes, reappear
as hard, stern, living realities of to-day A
fearful showing of mans pride and mans
weakness, of noble bearing in adversely, and
shameful depravity in times of terror, and of
brave human will outleaping the worst that
can inflict, are to be found
Grouped like the good and bad in single
being) in the moving episodes of that fateful
calamity. 1t presents the light OF hope rim
ming the frowning cloud of despair; and 1t
brings to our lips the prayer that the devas-
tated town may rise once more superior to its
ruin, as its noble citizens have risen superior
to their misfortune.

THE PANIC with which we were threatened
in Wall street seems, happily, to have been in
definitely postponed. The failures have been
few and Insignificant. Even the Stuyvesant
Bank promises to speedily recover, and it was
not in any case concern OF very great mag
nitude. The Chicago fire, and the utter de-
struction Of an immense amount Of property
which IL entailed, has, however, had the un-
doubted effect of very considerably shrinking
all descriptions of values. Stocks are still
many points below the figures Of q few days
ago, and the slightest disturbance either at
home or in Europe would probably knock
them down very considerably lower.

In regard to Chief Justice Chase. The latest
objection entered against him a. the demo-
cratic candidate is hard to meet-to wit !:
that having been identified with the demo-
cratic party since 1868, he can, as the party
nominee, no longer bring over any republican
reinforcements and that thus he now stands
in the same general category as Hoffman,
Hendricks and Pendleton. The best course,
then, for the democratic party is, out-and-out,
new party movement and man on their
Presidential ticket fresh from the republican
ranks. AaHgi ng
Their next best alternative is general dis
bandment Of the party and an independent
scrub race in 1879. Thus all the more promi-
nent Presidential aspirants Of the day, of all
parties and factions. North, South, East and
West, may be accommodated. and among
them all they may play the very mischief
with the calculations of the republicans under
General Grant and carry the election into the
House of Representatives. As our two great
parties now stand. the one represented by
General Grants administration aud the other
BY that Of Tammany Hail. the prospect is
that the democracy will be scattered to the
four winds Of Heaven in the coming Presi-
dental contest.
