Blue Grass.

EDS. CHRONICLE: In the discussion
which took place in the Knox County Far
mer's Club, on last Saturday, at the court
house, with reference to blue grass, you
make me say, in your report of the pro-
ceedings, that admitted the "plausibility
of Esq. Mabry's foreible argument"
This is mistake. did not admit the
"plausibility" of that gentleman's argu-
ment with regard to blue grass. On the
contrary, was strongly and uncompro-
misingly opposed to his views touching
this matter. Esquire Mabry was for exter-
minating this grass from the face of the
earth, and preferred dock or sedge grass to
it. With my views Of the virtue and value
of this excellent grass, could not admit
anything of the kind. We differ as wide
as the poles. For pasturage, blue grass has
no superior in my Judgment. I should dis
like to see the day when it shall be exter-
minated andsupplanted by two such. curses
to our soil as dock and sedge grass.
But we did not make final disposition
of the interesting question at the meeting
referred to. AS will be seen by the pro-
ceedings, it is to come up for discussion at
the next meeting of the Club, on the first
Saturday in June, at the court house, at
which time it is hoped there will be a large
attendance ofthe farmers of Knox county.
Let this question be thoroughly ventilat-
ed. If, as Esquire Mabry asserts, blue grass
should be destroyed, on account of its de-
structive tendencies, there should be no
delay in accomplishing this result. 9th
erwise, we should sustain it.

Circuit Court passed off without much
business of general Importance being tram
sacted. Misdemeanors were disposed of
rapidly, while there was only one con-
victed of felony. The noted case of the
State as. James Brown and others was not
pressed as to all but five and continued as
them. The case of Jas. F. Beal's, ct ais,
as. r.. NJ. Hood, petition for a new district,
went to the Supreme Court by defendants
appeal. Since Court adjourned there has
been Ia Justices Court inlsession two or
three days trying James George alias
"Henegar" on charge of larceny. Hen
egar came clear, Notwithstanding the evil
dence of Dorcas Snyder, Esq, and others
of like caliber.
On the first Monday of this month, the
County Court declared Maryville no longer
a town, but out in the country, and APP
pointed r. n. Hood, G.. T. Gates and H.
o. Wilson, overseers of the roads in Mary
vile.
A question is being debated with great
interest and considerable excitement,
whether a man can try to sit in his own
lap. AS simple as the question may seem,
from gray hairs down to tow heads discuss
this question with great warmth.
AS we furnished an item of news for the
CHRONICLE from which Rev. Mr.. Breaker
dissented and corrected, we would like to
propose question for him to answer. IF

One of the causes why so few young men
marry, explains the New York Mail, is the
fact that the preliminary expenses nova

the young couple comfortably for a

parsons fee, and wedding tour, will
amount to three thousand dollar al the

| have seen man in the glory and
pride of his strength go forth upon
the worlds broad field Of battle, ar
rogating superior talent, superior
fortune, and superior wisdom and
often have l gazed with admiration,
and as often with contempt. l have
seen laurels festooned around his
brow, and | have seen in a short
time the blight of mans curse fall
upon him.
l have seen the poor and needy
worn down with fatigue and disease,
asking aims of those who lived in
afluence, and they were scOffed, de-
rided, and villifed for their condi-
ton.
l have seen the poor orphan boy,
haIf-clad, half-fed, driven hither and
thither, without one word of love
and sympathy, from those that
ought to befriend him.
I have seen friendship, kindness,
love and fair dealing, repaid with
the basest treachery-yea, with a
scandalous and classifying tongue.
l have seen ignorance in high
places, wearing the ensignia of rank,
and debating laws and regulations
for those that needed none.
