The TRUE STORY oE ClNDERE1LA.-The

The TRUE STORY oE CINDERELLA.-The
story of Cinderella is familiar to every
one, and yet thers are few that treasure
it up as in any respect true. But it has a
foundation and reality that really need
no fairy godfather, with her pumpkin and
her rats, to make an entertaining tale
It is as follows:
In about the year 1870, French actor
by the name of Thevenard, lived in Paris.
He was rich and talented, but he had no
wife and we may believe ho had never
loved any one, but gave all his affections
to those ideal characters that he could
represent so finely on the stage. Ono
day as he was walking leisurely the
streets cf Paris, he came upon cobler's
stall, and his eye was attracted by a dain-
ty little shoe which lay there waiting for
repairs. His Imagination began immo-
diately to form the littlo foot that must
fit such little shoe. He examined it
we'll, but only to admire it more and
more. :.
On going to his house he seemed
haunted by tho little shoe. He fancied it
tripped over his floor; he could hear the
music of it's tread-in fact, there was
nothing of all his elegant treasures that
seemed to him halfso beautiful.
He went to the stall of the cobler again,
but could learn nothing in regard to tho
owner of the shoe. This only increased
his eagcrness, and made him more deter
mined to find out to whom it belonged.
Day by day he was disappointed, but ho
was not discouraged.
At last the little feet needed the shoes,
and Thevenard met the owner, q poor girl
whose parents belonged to the humblest
class. But the ardent actor. thought not
of caste or family. His heart had al
ready pronounced the little one his wifo.
He married the,girl with no question of
what people would say, and felt Joy
enough in hearing the tread of the light,
nimble feet through the silent rooms, to
pay him for the sacrifice of the peoples
approval. This is tho true story of Gin
derella, and from which the romance
sprang.

As soon as the Congressional Chaplain
closes his appeal to the Throne Of Grace, there
is clapping of hands all over the floor. 1t is
the way the members have of calling pages to
their side. Every Congressman begins his days
labor by giving an order to messenger; hence
the clapping is universal and uproarious.-
"Well, that beats ME, said an elderly gentle
man in the gallery, with mud on his boots
which looked as though it had been brought
from the other side Of the Potomac; 81 didn't
see anything in that prayer worth cheering"

From tbs New York World


SIR. Stephens has lately been main
tanning that the validity of the fourteenth
aud fifteenth amendments is a proper
judicial question, which may be finally
decided by the Federal Supreme Court.
We deem it unnecessary to argue the
question of Jurisdiction with Mr.. Ste
pheus. who has lately been discussing
that point with much acutehess aud in-
genuity If DIR. Stephens should advo-
cate the construction of wind mill on
the top Of Mount Washington for saw
ing pine logs into lumber, we, in declin-
ing to take any stock in the enterprise.
would not argue the feasibility of con-
structing the mill. We should think it
quite irrelevant for Mr. Stephens TO con
lend that the force of wind on that ele-
waited peak would suffice for saving all
the timber in New England and the Can
adss. Admit IL all but how are you
going to ge; your logs to the top of
Mount Washington ? Suppose it true,
a. Mr. Stephens argues, that it is within
the competency of the Supreme Court
to decide whether an amendment TO the
Constitution has, or has not been propei :
ly adopted. how is he going 10 get the
case before the court? Mr. Stephens
was bred a lawyer, and ought to be able
to tell us. There can be 10 suit without
parties-a plaintiff and defendant
Who shall be plaintiff, and who defend
ant in suit to test, for example, the
VALIDITY of the fifteenth anie endmeDt? Mr.
Stephens seems more interested than
anybody hut can he bring suit? Gear
ly not, for several sufficient reasons. In
the & st place, re has no cause OF per
sonal complaint of which Federal
court could take knowledge. In the
next place, if negro voting in Georgia
we're an individual wrong to him. there is
no party ON whom he could serve notice
as defendant. He cannot sue Congress;
he cannot sue the States that ratified the
amendment; he cannot sue his own State
OF Georgia nor any of her officers. No
suit can be brought by anybody, nor
will lie against anybody, for testing the
validity of the fifteenth amendment. Ii,
in any State, the right of suffrage were
denied to the negroes, negro of that
State might bring suit for damages !;
but every State admits negroes to the
There is therefore no ground of proseeu
tion on either side, nor against anybody.
We wish Mr. Stephens would tell us how
a suit can be commenced that would
bring the validity of the fifteenth amend
ment before the Supreme Court for ad-
Indication; tell Us how he will find par
ties that would have standing in court,
and what is the wrong for which the
plaintiff would seek redress If an in
genious lawyer cannot explain how such
suit can be brought, his idea of testing
the validity of the fifteenth amendment
in the Supreme Court is of course chi
merical. 1t is a windmill for saving

Throughout West Tennessee the pros

The corn crop is now beyond the reach
of mishsp and almost universally a fne

also unusually promising. and though in
some localities il is seriously threatened
with rust yet we hope it will rcjt be great

favorable fall We will gather heavy

We have recent and reliable H6orfna-
ton that in Middle Tennessee there will
be virtual failure of crops. 10 some
localities they are good. but i1 many
places no rain Of consequence has fallen

A Child Swallows a Sfag.BeetIe

A post mortem examination has just
been held upon the body of two year
old child OF Mr.. Louis Schappert, a
butcher residing in this place, which
died day or two since iu great agony.
1t was taken suddenly violently i'll, and
nothing could be administered that seem
ed to afford relief. Its body swelled to
nearly twice its natural size. and il died
vomiting blood. On the opening of the
stomach of the child the cause of the
ngular illness and death was discover
ed. In the coating of the stomach, with
its huge horns firmly imbedded, Was an
enormous stag beetle. The only expla
nation that could be given as to the mau
ner OF the insect getting into the stom
ach was that given by the child's mother,
who stated that the night tho child was
taken sick. aud few moments before
the first symptoms, il had asked for q
drink The mother gave the child a
drink from cup containing water, and
sitting on chair beside the bed. There
is no doubt that one of these horned
beetles had fallen into the cup while
flying about the room, and the child
drank it with the water.
