THE HAIR.-An entirely new style of arrang-
ing the hair is to be adopted soon. The old
French twist in the back is TO be revived but
rendered more graceful by a plat or cable of
hair surrounding it, dropping low ON the nape of
Tho neck. A coronet of hair is to take the place
of the Pompadoru roll, and from beneath the cor
onef light curls and frizettes are to fall on the
forehead Four long curls, two on each side are
to fall on the neck and shoulders from tie braid
or cable. The temple hair is to be brushed high
and smooth.

the police discovered what he was doing, and put
him in another cell. In short time he had near

walls as well as cutting bars. They then put him
in third cell, with bracelets on his wrists, and
went on their rounds. In forty minutes King had
cut two bars, and made his escape. That boy

Presidential SpecuIatiens.

Under the head of Presidential nomi-
natoins," Mr.. Curtis in one of his admir-
able editorials in Harper's Weekly, discus
ses the chances of President Grant for a
denomination. He concludes his article
as follows 1.-The grounds, therefore. upon
which General Grants denomination are
probable are the results of his administra-
ton, to which may be added the evident
difficulty of uniting his opponents in the
party upon any candidate. The general
feeling which will press for his renOmina-
ton is that he lisa honest man. who what
ever criticisms may be truthfully made in
detail, sincerely wishes the public welfare
and seeks it. Under his administration
rights have been protected. burdens have
been lifted, the most threatening questions
have been settled. vital reforms have been
begun, and the prosperity of the country
secured by the consciousness that peace
would be maintained-a consciousness
which would vanish before Democratic
success. Why should we change? will be
the question of the party. Under whom
should we have promise of more appre-
ciable and valuable results? During this
administration the purpose of the people
has become go plain that the Democratic
party abandons its position, and confesses
that its hopes of success rise in the degree
that it becomes Republican. Is it not well
it will be asked. to maintain a situation in
which the real oppposition-the opposition
of principle-dissolyes?'

Pic Mic at EIiZabeflaloD,

The Bible Class, taught BY Rev. H.. C.
Atwater, gave a Pic Mic, on the goth in
slant, to their parents, and friends gener-
ally, at the Big Spring, on the Watauga,
one mile below Elizabethton. 1t proved
Q complete success.
The day,cool as n in October, wa all
that could be desired, for outdoor sports
and games.
Carter County Ladies, honored through
put this mountain region for their beauty,
we're out in strong force, with other fair
ones from Knoxville and Greenville.-
The Belle of Elizabethton was there
dressed in exceeding good taste, over
flowing with wit and repartee.
Mr.. Hendrickson and choir, from Tur-
key Town. furnished most excellent vo-
cal music for the occasion.
Mr.. VIM. FitzSimmons "a member Of
the Bible Glass; gave a short, but able Or
alton on patriotism, and the past history
of our country.
At II O'Clock, some 800 guests gather
ed around a table. adorned with flowers,
and loaded with those choice comforts,
which Carter County Ladies are so famous
for providing on such occasions.
Rev. Fl. C. Atwater, frum his extern
sive experience in providing amusements
for such occasions. left nothing undone to
make every one as happy as possible.
He is evidently acquainted with chill
dren, and knows what to do to make the
little ones happy.
Many were constantly occupied with
those games so popular with the ladies,
viz: Ring Tass and Croquet."
Others b~lind-folded, were trying (hope-
lessly) to find their way to large packages
of raisins and candy, clearly visible to all
but themselves. Their plumbers in the
matter, made untold amusements to the
lockers on.
A large carpet, provided expressly for
the occasion, was covered with precious
babies, those buds of living beauty from
the gardens of Paradise.
Where all were so beautiful, it was
difficult to tell which child deserved the
most praise.
At a late hour. 10th to leave. the place
of so much happiness. the company separ-
ated to their homes.
After supper, a select company met on
the grounds of the Pastor, and with artif-
cial lights, continued their pleasant
amusements till the proper hour for re-
tiring.
When that Bible class. with their
teacher, hold their next annual Pic Mic,
may 1 be there to enjoy it with them.

An TRREP REssABLE COW

Ever since "a regular form Of govern

under The various administrations that
have from time to time welded the sccp-
ter OF confrolled the destinies of nations
the people bate been divided into two
fsctiozs. the -ins" and the -outs' or those

That must submit to be governed.

possible.
Since the foundation Of this govern
nent the party in power has been accused
of all kinds Of eorruptions and all manner
of irregularities in administering public
Affairs, and it would seem from reading
q side Of the question that men who are
honest and capable never succeed in at
tanning Office while rogues and fools are
regularly chosen by the people to rule
them. However talented a man may ap-
pear as an Office seeker, the moment his
ambition is satisfied he becomes both an
idiot and a rascal.
According to the theory of anti admin
ITERATION parties for the past 6fty years,
and especially during the late wal and
since, the country has been during all tLat
time on the very verge of destruction and
nothing but a change in the management
Of affairs could possibly ave it. The
present administration in particular has
been assailed from the very first with
charges of corruption In every conceiva-
bic form. The Democracy claim that,
the peoples money is being squandered.
That Offices are created for the benefit of
certain friends Of the administration, that
Heads of Departments members Of the
Cabinet and even tie President himself
are wasting their time and spending pub
lie money at watering places and other re-
sorts of pleasure seekers and in conse-
quence thereof the country is fast sinking
into irretrievable ruin. But..stiIl in spite
Of all these crtakers the Ship of State
moves on, escaping BY a miracle we pre-

Southern Methodist Statistics for 1870.

The Methodist says The Southern
Methodist minutes for 1870 appear tar
dily, but show o very encouraging de
gree of prosperity. They report thirty
five Conferences, four Of them-Los
Angeles, Pacific, Columbia, and Illinois
outside of the former slave States OF
the Union, 1925 travelling and 4,7l4
local preachers, and 561 SIT white mem
hers. The increase Of white members
is 20,757, the decrease of colored 6,423,
most of whom have probably united
with the new organized colored church.
After all deductions, there is a net IN
crease of 1917 members. The collec-
tions for omissions reach $8S,675, and
for Conference claimants, $54,875.
The most populous Conference is the
North Carolina, which reports over
47,OOO members; the next is the North
Georgia, with over $4,000; the smallest
is the Los Angeles, whose members
number only 496. The Baltimore and
Virginia Conferences are strong-the
former showing $4,000; the latter, 40,-
600 communicates. Thirteen Confer
ences have under 10000 members each.
All the facts of the recent history of
the Southern Methodist Church prove
that it recuperates rapidly, and is enter
ing upon prosperous career. The au-
thor of the preposterors phrase, " dis
integration and absorption of Southern
Methodism," has already lived long
enough to see it's folly. His policy, had
it been adopted, would have been un-
christian, to begin with, and impracti-
cable in any event.
