MADE A NICE FIRE.-A man work.
Ing at the water-dltch being out for the
Eclipse Company. one day recently
had occasion to bring a load Of hay to
camp. Having brought 1t, he deliber-
ately drove up and pitched the entire
load directly on top Of the embers Of
the campfire which he had assisted to
build In the morning. His interested
comrades watched his thoughtless OPP
erations, and soon saw the smoke begin
to rise. They saw the nonplussed ge-
Mus coolly drive of a short distance
and sheepishly watch the fire. He
said, however, that at was his own
hay ; he had hauled Ii a long ways,
and he'd be id If he hadn't a right

WHAT THE DEVIL SAID TO THE
YOUNG MAN.

Of Youth, 90 brave and strong.
The maiden's looks belle her;
Though she seem shy, a song
A kiss-well, only try her!
Love 10 the wine Of life
That flows alone for pleasure;
Dull husband and tame wife
Know not the sparkling measure.
Discovery-that's crime;
No sin but this, no sorrow;
No punishment In time
None In the far tomorrow.
Drink OF the golden cream
OF youth, and wealth, and pleasure;
Then spill life's purple stream,
And drop the empty measure!

New Cars.

The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company are constructing for use on
their road three new and very much improved
mail cars. A CHRONICLE reporter yesterday
visited the Company paiEt-shop where one of
the cars is receiving the finishing touches and
made thorough examination of its cOnstruc-
ton.
1.-THE cars will be devoted exclusively to the
accommodation of the mail service. They are
large, roomy and well ventilated. Each is de-
vided into two apartments, one occupied as a
distributing office and the other carrying the
through mail.
The distribution office is gotten up in the
most approved style The pigeon holes'' for
letters, and the receiving boxes are bottomed
with lattice work of wire, which prevents the
accumulation of dust. A rack with hooks for
holding open mail bags is also provided. A
wardrobe and other conveniences for the per-
sonal benefit of the agents are not wanting.
Tho color of the cars outside is deep orange
and the words ~. S. Railway POstofhce" are
painted in gold with blue and green shading
on each side.
The cars will be designated as "a, "B, and
&c" respectively, and will take the place of
those now in use on the road. They are built
at the expense of the company according to a
design furnished by the Postofice Department
of the General Government. The first will be
ready for service in about three weeks. Three
new baggage cars are also to be built.

KNOXVILLE.

ISlaHuS DTlIIS IIOHl thirty 10 one HuHuIeu
per acre.
Knoxville is the county seat of Knox
county. 1t is situated on the north bank
of the Tennessee river, which is navigable
for large class of steamboats, nine months
in the year.
In the last three years its commerce and
manufactures have been doubled what they
previously had BEEN. sr-.s.tF
Some ten or twelve rivers empty into the
Tennessee above Knoxville, down which
the products of twelve or fifteen counties
are brought to this point.
Besides these channels of commerce,
four railroads terminate at Knoxville. One
penetrating into Virginia, one into Geor-
gia, one in the direction of the Ohio river
and one intended to go direct to South
Carolina. The Knoxville and Ohio rail-
road forty miles from Knoxville, taps eX
ceedingly rich mines of coal and iron of
the very finest quality and ineXhaustible
in quantity.
Knoxville has thriven and prospered as
tonishingly in the last ten years. In that
time, her commerce and manufactures
have been doubled. This year twenty-five
store houses and proportionate number
of dwelling houses have been erected.
Some of the blocks of stores would do great
credit to the largest cities in the United
States. The material out of which they
are built are white marble, brown sand
stone and brick. All these are cheap and
abundant in the immediate vicinity of the
city.
East Tennessee is improving more rap
idly than any portion of the United States,
except some parts of the Northwest, and
Knoxville improves in proportion to the
country around it. People who are igno-
rant of the advantages of East Tennessee
and her re gourees wonder at this. But
they must take into consideration that we
have one of the most salubrious climates
in the world. We have no cold, rigorous
winters nor hot summers, the heat of the
sun in summer being modified by our
mountains. We have no chills or feYers
and but few diseases of the lungs.
Then, besides being an excellent agri-
cultural section our countay is full of
minerals Copper, zinc, marble, coal, n.y.
draulic cement, sandstone and limestone
are found in vast abundance. With all
these resources and advantages, the people
who come here to Tspy out the land,"
conclude they can not make mistake by
taking up their residence here-that the
progress of the country must necessarily
be upward and onward, and those who
conclude to settle here are content to re-
main for life. 0f4 f6t

THE FAMINE IN PERsIA.-The London
Spectator says:
The horror of the famine in Persia has
not yet reached its climax. Mayor S. a.
Smith, assistant resident, writing from
Bushire, says the people are worn to skele-
tons, the children to furnished beasts
and some of them are always trodden
down and killed in the daily rush for the
English rice. Mr.. a. J. S. Adams, travel
ing in Teheran about two months ago,
says, in note published in the Sunder
land Times, that in the crowds who swarm
in the barrack-square to receive a dole of
small silver from the Shah, hundreds, men
and women, are litteraly stark naked,
worn to the bone and covered with sores.
The people follow the visitor bowling for
bread "two men lie upon the ground
quite dead, and third is laid upon one
side of the bazar covered with a piece of
dirty cotton. A naked woman lies in the
agony of death, surrounded by crowd of
beings almost as badly off as herself. The
next form is that of a woman who scrapes
from the ground handful of melon seed
and filth, which she devides between her
two children" This is one mornings
ride. There is no help for any of them,
though the Shah has, as Mr. Murray tes-
titles, bueketsful of jewels in the private
treasury, and the famine cannot end until
July.
