II once knew Southern gentleman

A Slight Mistake.

A dusty-looking traveller turned II
at the great gate, and passed up tn,
walk leading to the Hayward farm
house.
There was nothing prepossessing il
his appearance. The clothes he wore
though not Of coarse material, were
yet seedy and threadbare; and his
hat, fashioned quarter of a century
before, showed long and close acquaint.
ance with the sunshine and storm. He
was quite old, too, although he stepped
quite nimbly upon the gravel walk,
and tired, for he had tramped many
miles under the boiling heat of that
July sun. Withal, there was a look
of shrewdness and knowledge of the
world about him, that seemed to be-
lie his INDECENT appearance.
He glanced about him at the we'll
cultivated fields, and comfortable
dwelling, the commodious barns and
the numerous outhouses, and NUT
tered:
every well situated, whoever they
are l will stop and rest awhile, if
they will allow such ragshan in the
house."
And the last thought seemed to af-
ford him immense pleasure.
He walked up to the front door,
which was open; but the sound of
voices within drew his attention, and
he stopped, with his hands yet raised
to rap.
"John Hayward, I'm ashamed of
you !" spoke harsh, metallic, female
voice. "That my son should so for
get himself as to stoop to even look at
my hired help, much more to make
love to her, is ridiculous shameful |
W hat is she Everybody knows that |

years Governor of THE Territory South of the
River Ohio and negotiated treaties with the

Water street. under the shade of the tall trees
which then covered the banks of the Holston.
The Governor appeared in full dress and opened
the conference through an interpreter. Sqol-
lecuttah Kunoskeskie, Augustagne and Meme

speakers on the part of the Indians. Mr.. Blount

Direct European Emigration-.A step iH
the RighI Direction.

We are glad to know that our people are be-
coming aroused on the subject of emigration
direct from Europe to the South, and are bes-
tirring themselves to induce it. Capt. Fred. de
Turrial, Chief Engineer of the Southern Rail-
road Association and General European Agent
for the Virginia and Tennessee Air line, is now
in this city on his way to New York, whence he
will sail for Europe, visiting England, Ger
many, Franco and Italy, for the purpose Of
demonstrating the advantages offered TO emil
Of the Virginia and Tennessee roads. The Cap
tain design is to make the influx steady and
large, and 10 divert to the South tho immense
mum Der of emigrants to which she is geograph-
icalIy entitled, but which has been diverted to
the West.
He will also carefully examine the system of
narrow guage railroads in the different coun-
tries he visits, with u view of utilizing the cXpe
rance of tho old world in its application in this
country.
