THE CUSTOM HOUSE IMBR0eLIo.
W. H. BrOwning's Card,

Mr.. Browning, who has recently been sus-
pended from his position as Master Mason on
the custom house building, publishes card ID
the Press and Herald of yesterday, to which ne
adds postscript, evidently prompted by malice
saying that copy was furnished the Union
ICLE and declined.
1t is perhaps proper that we should state the
facts in the case Mr.. Browning came to our
Office on Tuesday evening with his card in
d7,pEcnte taking care to exhibit both copies
as much as to say,if you don publish it l know
who will We read his card and promptly in
formed him that we could not publish it, giving
as our reasons that it contained malicious at
tack on public official, which, so far as we
could see, and in our opinion, was unsupported
by facts. We gave him plainly to understand
that we would publish any card necessary to his
defense when Invested of personal attacks. But
the personal part of his card seemed to be up
permost in his mind, and of more importance
than any defense against wrong that he may
have suffered; so he took it where he knew it
would be published.
We have refrained, as far as possible, from
admitting anything in our columns on this sub
Ject, believing that its agitation would get up
contention in our party, and whether intended
or not would furnish capital for our enemies.
We rely upon the honesty and capacity OF the
proper authorities to investigate the matter
thoroughly, and if any corruption exists, we
believe it will be exposed, and that the guilty
party will be found out. The columns of
newspaper are not the proper place to remedy

Sir Isaac Newton was pronounced a
Ounce IN his early school days. He stood
low in class, and seemed to have no relish
for study. One day the "bright boy" of
the school gave him kick in the stom-
ach, which caused him severe pain. The in
suit stung young Newton to the quick, and
he resolved to make himself felt and re-
spected by improved scholarship. He ap-
piled himself resOlutely to study, and, ere
long, stood in his classes above the boy
who had kicked him, and ultimately be-
came the first scholar in the school.
Newton owed his pre-eminence in his
philosophical studies more to perseverance
md application than to any marvellous ma
Cural endowments.
oliver Goldsmith, than to whom no boy
could appear more stupid, was the but of
ridicule at school. A school dame, after
woderful patience and perseverance, taught
him the alphabet-a thing which she
deemed creditable to her skill, and which
she lived to mention with pride when her
pupil became famous. He made no pro-
gress in the exact studies, but liked history
and Latin poetry.
He was sore trial to his ambitious
mother, who made many fruitless efforts to
quicken his wits by her sharp words. His
relatives, teachers and schooImates all told
him that he was a fool, which verdict he
did not dispute, but took good humoredly
Even when he had produced the Travel
ler," an eminent critic said to friends
"Sir, l do believe that Goldsmith wrote
that poem; and that, let me tell you, is be-
lieving great deal"
Sir Walter Scott was dull boy, and
when attending the university at Edin-
burgh he went by the name of 1.-THE Great
Blockhead" But he wasted no time on
trifles, and, in pursuing a study that he
loved-as, for example, history or the clas
sics-he was persevering and methodical.
He was one of those whose knowledge on
a subject that interested, increased until it
lay like a great volume in his mind.
When Walter Scott began to make use of
that knowledge, society gave him another
name, somewhat different from the Edin-
burgh appellation. 1t was "The Grea

The DRY Weather-Crops.

We learned the following facts yesterday,
concerning crops and the drouth, from farmers
who had come into market and from travellers
by the railroads
J. P. Cox, of Hickory Valley, three miles
from Maynardsville, Union county, says they
have had no rain for four weeks. Corn fields in
that vicinity, of from twelve to fifteen acres, will
not average three pecks to the acre.
In Big Valley, fields of twenty and thirty acres
will not average more than three or four bush
els to the acre. In other places it is better.
K. n. Parker reports bad season; corn poor
average half crop. Potatoes not half crop, I'M
less season changes.
J. H Dozer, two and half miles south of
Washington Church, in upper end of this coun-
ty, says they have had no rain for four weeks; ;
corn is very Indifferent, early Irish potatoes
scarcely worth digging, late ones eatup by bugs
and lice on cabbage.
George Eubank, Grassy Valley 18th district
in lower end of the county, reports that they
had a rain a week and a half ago, but it was not
heavy and soon dried off, doing, perhaps, more
harm than good Irish potatoes are worth moth
ing, and unless rain comes this week will not
make seed. His corn crop may possibly make
five bushels to the acre Peaches the only good
crop.
John jenkins, Sewer county, five miles west
of Sevierville, says the season was good up to
harvest but since that time scarcely any rain
has fallen-corn looks well considering drought
bottoms are good but uplands burning
+. NJ. NicKle, Ihlrd creek, reports couple
of good showers lately, however corn drying
up-bugs have destroyed the potatoes.
NJ. w. McNutt four miles above town, says
season dry but the corn is toerable fair in the
bottoms, bat on the uplandS it will be a failure.
Mr.. j. NJ. Smith. of Tampico, mouth of Buff
falo creek, Granger county, says the season,
until the last three weeks was an average good
one, but the corn crop will be light, owing to the
continued drought The Irish potato crop is
sorry one. Apples are scarce but peaches are
plentiful, though not of good quality.
Mr. Charles Collins, from the vicinity of
Robertsville, Anderson county, reports the sea-
son extremely dry, there having been no rain of
consequence since the wheat harvest He
thinks corn will not exceed one-shird of crop.
The bugs have eaten the sweet potato vines,
and that esculent will be short.
Mr.. w. Lowery, five miles below Knoxville,
planted his corn early, and the yield will be
fair. Potatoes are doing we'll in his neighbor
hood, and gardens were much benefited by the
rain last week.
Passengers on the train from the north report
good average crops, but diminishing south of
Pennsylvania. a gentleman living near Rich
mond, Va, states, however, that the crops in
the northern portion of that State are good but
diminishing toward the Tennessee line.
Mr.. Joseph Finnegan of Savannah, Ga, re-
ports heavy rains last Sunday and Monday near
that city. He thinks the cotton crop will be
poor this year.

THE KOH-I-NoOR. The following storyis
told concerning the Koh-i-nOor which was
captured in India:
"The Koh-i-noor was captured in this
cheap way: In 1S49 that we'll known dia-
mond became part of the spoil of the An
glo-Indian Army, on the conquest and
annexation of the Punjab, and being then
estimated at 81, 100000, there was great
JOY over sych a prize, Without consult
ing the army, Lord Cough and Sir Charles
n lpier. in command, audaciously present
ed the great diamond to Queen ViCto ia in
the n lme f the combatants. II was not
the generals right to rob the army by be-
slowing the greatest of its spoils,,of war up
on the Queen, nor ought she to have ac-
capted it without seeing that the soldiers
had been paid for it. From that time the
Indian army have not received shilling
for their capture of the Koh-i-noor, and
Victoria has retained the gem as her own
personal property, instead of placing it
among the crown jewels belonging to the
British nation

Hawkins County.

The people of Hawkins are aroused on the
subject If a County Fair, and with that view n
meeting was held at the Court House in Rogers
Vile on Saturday, the 18th inst, when the fol-
Iawinp officers were elected: Dr. B. f. Ketch-
nm President: w. H. Waterson, Secretary,
and F. NJ Fulkerson, Treasurer.
Mr.. VIM Davis died in the upper end of this
county a few days ago. at the advanced age Of
seventy-fve years. He had been at work in the
morning and came in at noon complaining of a
reouired. took small drink, but died in five
minutes thereafter.
A fight took place at Rogersville during the
session of the County Court, but though several
were engaged nobody was seriously hurt. The
corporation officials interfered and melted out
even-banded justice by fning all participating
in the disturbance.
The weather is still dry and growing crops
are suffering for want of rain, but the farmers
are not utterly discouraged yet.
