TIT PuzRM PEcU11AnzTrRs. "A correspondent of tle Naiond Bdptiss gives an interesting description of the religious conditions and customs of the Southwest. The following are some extracts TafrIhe Southwestern preacher has many sWays which would appear uncersmonioua tO his prim and fastidious eastern brother. 1ediction, and with the concluding wave o1 khe hand strike Q match, light his pipe, and coms down the pulpit steps smoking. I preached once in church where notice was sent up to me to read, that two mules belonging to Mir. John Doe had strayed away-one with white spot on the fore. head and the other branded thus and SO. Any one knowing anything of the mules was requested to inform Mir. Doe at the close of the meeting. Not knowing whether this came under the Sabbatical permission, which of you having an OK 0r an nsa etc., handed over the notice ko broEfer in the desk, and he read it with wM due ezavity. Such notices are common. The country churches have preaching but 'onect c month, as the local dialect has it in rare instances twicet month.' One minister thus has four churches. He rides over on 6a6ur0aY twenty mlloB or more, It may be-preaches Saturday and Sunday, and then the church is locked up for an- other four weeks. Of course there. is no regular pastoral visiting, and prayer-meet- 5ings and Sunday schools are rare. Bat the churches have become SO used to the once. a-month system that they are content.
 The westinghouse in the Southwest t' 'church-house' is the common and well chosen name) is generally rather rude structure. Even in wealthy communities Sfl1s seats will be unpainted, and such a thing as carpet is seldom seen. The men sit on one side and the women on the other. Brethren at the east who wish to do away with pew rentings are anticipated in their notions here.
 Many eastern brethren will also be pleased to learn that the singing is always congregational. Choirs are unknown. and instruments of music are widely looked upon as inventions of the devil. The hymn is generally line dofE. r The singing is confined to e meagre array of tunes sung out of pitch and out of tune. It would be well if eastern brethren who are in favor of doing away with choirs, could be kept for while on such music"

" sI have no hesitation in assuring inventors that they cannot employ man more competent and trustworthy, and more capable of putting their ap- plications in Q form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent Office.
 EDMUND BURKE,
 Late Commissioner of Patents" 'sMr R. H. Eddy has made for me over THIRTY applications for Patents, having been successful in almost every case. Such unmistakable proof of great talent and ability on his part, leads me to recommend all inventors to apply to him to pro- the most faithful attention bestowed on their ca ses, and at very reasonable charges.

 A bill has been introduced in the Texas Senate providing for a division of the State. and the erection of new State west of the Colorado river. One of the Texas Democratic papers, while not approving 2 division, says that if the bill passes, as it thinks it will, and goes to the people, those of the north and east of the State are so decidedly in favor of division, and their popular strength ct the ballotbox is so great, that they will accept the division with the boundaries submitted to them rather than postpone the division to g more dis tant day. 3af LtI t1

Schurz remarked that this was not
by any means a new proposition. It
was merely a propositic n on the
part of TrumbulI to revive the Old

with powers that made the old com

Senator from Vermont, Edmunds,
had told the Senate that the Civil
Service had improved greatly under
the existing administration, and I'M

history Of the country it would be
difficult or impossible to find four
consecutive months during which
50 many defaIcations and embezzle-
menls, by public servants, had been
brought to light as in the last four
months. Most of these cases had
been discovered without careful
search or investigation.
It was fair to infer that careful

( sures which are made from day to

CONSOLIDATION.
The Citizen and the Giles Pres

It having been demonstrated to
dissatisfaction ofall concerned that
Pulaski and Giles county ca2not ad-
equatelysastain two frst-class news
papers, tAe proprietors ofthe Pulas-
Hi CIr1zsx and the Giles Pass have
effected a consolidation, the writer
of this becoming proprietor Of the
consolidated paper and henceforth
the CITIZEN alone, enlarged and i'm
proved, viii visit the patrons Of the
two papers. The Pass during its
brief existence has attained circu-
lat;on and an advertising patronage
unprecedented, and Of which the
proprietor was justly proud, but the
expense of getting up such papers
as We have had in Pulaski during
the past year, would astonish the
uninitiatcd. One first class weekly
newspaper oaly can live on thc lin
tied patronage afforded by Pulaski
and Giles county; and the proprie-
tors Of the two papers, after making
thorough test Of the matter, have
effected this consolidation, which
gives to the CITIZEN a larger sub
scription list than was ever attained
by q country newspaper in Tennes
see. All subscribers to the Pass
who have paid for it will be sup.
piled with the CITIES, and we hope
those who have not paid Will do so
ut once, and have the CITIZEN con
tinued to them for the next year
Henceforth we promise our patrons
the best country paper in the State.
We onlyasll Of them prompt renew
ais and an occasional word Of cheer.
Our business and professional
friends are reminded that they may
now reach the readers Of two pa
pera through our columns for the
price only Of one. We hope every
business house in PULASKI will avail
itself Of this opportunity. We
earnestly desire and shall hereafter
labor more zealously to deserve the
hearty cooperation Of our business
community. We shall make no
change in our rate Of advertising
and viii continue to turn out job
Work in any style desired at Nash

paper that shall make them feel
proud every time they see it. To
this end wc ask the forbearaaee,
sympathy. aid and encouragement
of all both in town and county,
Give us your names and money
