JOURNALISM IN TENNESSEE
Mark Twain's Experience.

! was told by tho physician that
q Southern climate would improve
my health. and so l went down to
Tennessee and got birth on the
Morning Glory and Johnson
County War-Whoop, as associate
editor. When l went on duty l
found the chief editor sitting tilt
ed back in three legged chair
with his feet on pine table in the
room, and another afflicted chair,
and both were half buried under
newspapers and scraps and sheets
Of manuscript. There was wood
ell box of sand, sprinkled with
cigar stubs and "old soldlers," and
stove with door hanging by its
upper hinge. The chief EDITOR
had long tailed black cloth frock
coat on, and white linen pants -
His boots were small and neatly
blacked. He wore a ruffled shirt,
large seal ring, standing collar
Of obsolete pattern and checker
ed neckerchief with the ends hang.
ing down. Date of costume, about
le4S. He was smoking cigar and
trying to think Of a word. And
in trying to think of a word, and
in paving his hair for it, he had
rumpled it a good deal. He was
scowling tearfully, and l judged
that he was concocting a pa tieular-
ly knotty editorial. He told me to
take the exchanges anil skim ,hro'
them and write up the Spirit ef
the Tenn essee Press" condensing
into the article ail Of their contents
! that seemed OF interest.
l wrote as follows:

the Bally hack railroad. 1t is not
the intention of the company to
leave Buzzardville off to one side.
On the contrary they consider it
one of the most important points
along the line, and consequently
can have no desire to slight it The
gentleman OF the Earthquake will,
Of course, take pleasure in making
the correction.
John w. Blossom, ESQ the
able editor Of the Higginaville

supposing hat the election of Van

but be will have discover ed his mis-
take before this reminder reaches
him, no doubt. He was doubtless

turns.

Another Horror.

A ferry-boat, at New York, ex.
ploded, on Sunday, killing fifty and
injuring one hundred and twenty
persons. The hurricane deck was
carried overheard and fell over 3
large number Of persons in the
water who were drowred The
scene was beyond description.
Men were struck dumb by the loss
of their wives and little once, and
women distracted, having lost hus
bands and children, while little
children we're crying for their par
ents. A father and mother had
their children blown from their
arms. The water in an instant
was alive with men, women and
children struggling for life. The
after-part of the boat. which had es-
capped the force of the explosion,
would have been safe for the unin-
jured. but they were panic stricken,
and leaped overheard without re-
gard to the consequences

"Ought to be Dam q ed ;"

At a meeting Of the Democracy
Of Ohio county, Ind, held On the
10th inst. the following resolutions
were adopt ell with great unanimity:
Resolved. That the Democracy
of Ohio county, view with surprise
and regret the attempt to lead the
party in the wake OF strange and
ungodly gods, and that we hold
any departure from the known
and established principles Of JET
ferson. Madison and Monroe, and
their successors, Jackson, Polk
and Pierce, to be subversive Of the
most cherished interests for which
the Democratic party was ushered
into existence. and that it would
he an acknowledgment that its il
lustriOus dead were but short
sighted and feeble statesmen.
Resolved, That. if the good old
Democratic ship must go 10 the
bottom, We will sink with her-in
blaze Of glory-our banners nailed
defiantly to the mass's head.
Resolved. That when We do.
scend SO low as to barter our pIin-
ciples to partake Of the loaves and
fishes. We will be, and ought to be
damned.
There is the real old Democratic
ring to these resolutions, that will
delight the sou! Of Nasby.

An UnseemIy Lawsuit.

A suit is peading in one of the
Brooklyn courts, which is a dis
grace upon humanity. Three bro
thers and a sister named Slocum,
on the death of their father some
years ago, bought q lot in the
cemetery Of the Evergreens, in
which they inferred the bodies OF
the father. mother and sister. each
paying their. share Of expenses.
One Of the brothers died q few
years ago and was also buried in
the lot Several days since the
two remaining brothers. without
the consent of the sister, sold half
of the lot to stranger for Sl25.
In making the division it was nec-
essary 10 remove two OF the bodies
to another portion OF the .ot, and
another interment was made in the
portion sold. Learning this fact
the sister has ordered the remains
Of the stranger to be removed, and
the other bodies placed 10 their
Or ginal resting place, and has also
brought an seton for an injunction
to prevent har brothers from remov.
ing the bottles again, and from dis.
posing of any part OF the lot. 1t
was certainly an outrageous pro-
ceeding on the part Of the brothers,
and the Judge very properly gran
ted the lady a perpetual injunc-
ton.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

At Washington more than in any
other city in the country, are poll
tics studied and discussed most
freely. The study and discussion
OF politics afford bread and butter
TO more than one half Of its citi-
zens. Scarcely does President
become elected and fairly seated
in his Official Chair before specula-
tions are fife respecting to his
chances of being reelected.
TO this rule there has been no
exception with the present incum-
bent, General Grant. His friends
at the first instance were confident
OF his special fitness to control as
the Head Of the Civil as well as the
Military Department, and his Ad-
ministration to them, thus far. has
been entirely satisfactory. Scarce.
ly one who has the interest Of the
Republican party at heart ard
knows the political alphabet, but
appreciate the Importance, both in
moral and political sense, OF
retaining him another four years.
