Natural Scenery,

Those of our citizens who have not had their
attention called to it, are perhaps unaware of the
beautiful scenery by which we are surrounded.
By o fifteen minutes walk to some of the PROM
inent hill-tops in the neighborhood of the city
landscapes may be seen which some persons
would travel hundreds of miles to behold
We lately had the pleasure of seeing beau
tiful landscape painting by Knoxville's talented
artist, Mr.. Fisher, embracing a view, looking
southeast of the county as seen from the cupola
of East Tennessee University. In the fore
ground are a few struggling houses and a
glimpse of the southwest end Of the city, and
just beyond the winding Holston, with its ferry
boats and railroad bridge, the bold hills, with
fields and woodlands, south of the river; and
in the background the Smoky Mountains, blue
and shadowy, seem to meet the sky. The pic
ture was taken in the spring-time, and presents
all the rich green tints of the vernal season.
The sight of this picture is well worth visit to
the artists studio.

A Novel Excuse.

In the trial of Mr.. Peter j. Ricardi, before
the Recorder, yesterday, for throwing pack of
lighted FIRE crackers under the feet of pair
of horses, on Tuesday, he said he did it to
amuse the children who were thronging the
street, and he did not see the horses at the time.
That is somewhat like one of Mark Twain S
ancestors, who is mentioned in the biography of
that famous family, as being of a facetious turn
of mind used to stick people passing by with
a sword, merely to see them jump. For the
sake of g jocular termination, we wish we
could mention the defendants language as that
of Truthful James," but unfortunately the
name won't bear us out, and reluctantly we put
it down as the denial of Peter. The decision
Of the Recorder was reserved for future &C.
casion.
