RaiI Road Discrimination.


NASHVILLE, Feb. 25, 1S71.-A mer-
chant of upper East Tennessee. wrote
few days ago, inquiring the price of Salt
at Nashville and freight to Jonesborough.
Virginia salt can be purchased here at two
dollars and ninety cents per barrel of sew
en- bushels. but the freight is about three
dollars and half. The following astound-
ing information was ELECTED from another
source: The East Tennessee and Virginia
rail road managers, by the tariff on salt,
from Chattanooga Eastward, sufficiently
high to prevent importation and competi-
tion with the Virginia Salt Works, there
by forcing the Switzerland of America to
pay over two hundred thousand dollars
annual tribute to these works, which may
or not be divided with the rail road COM
pany to support the monopoly.
Thirty-fye years ago it was said King
paid $4,000 annually to Preston to per-
NIT his competing works of the vicinity to
lie nle; and now when rail roads have
been introduced for the general benefit of
the people. is it possible that the laws of
theland will not intervene and prevent
then being suborned to aid monopolies,
by 6iscrimieations of tariff in this manner?
These Salt Works blessing (?) Were
they to-day sunk in the bottom of the
ocean, your beautiful valley would be the
gamer ofhundreds of thousands of dollars
annually, by removing the cause for this
dissemination of freights on Salt alone.
La order to force freight from Steam
boats. the Louisville and Nashville rail-
roadcompany placed their tariff extreme
ly low to Chattanooga and further South.
and comparatively high at intervening
points. For this discrimination much
complaint has been made at Nashville. and
I believe the last Legislature passed law
to pre1ent it.
The eNashville University is in -four
iseing condition. The Medical depart
ment had 250 matriculantS, and 64 grad
yates this year. The Military and Liter
airy departments are generally prosperous.

Burning One Hundred Years

One of tn &, most curious phenomena In
connection with coal mining is exhibited
at the Bank Colliery, near Botterham, the
property of Earl Fitzwilliam. The pit
caught fire one hundred years ago, and all
efforts by the workman at the time, and
subsequently. have been quite Intellectual
to extinguish it. A short time ago 1t was
ascertained that the famesswere approach
ing the shaft, and it was then resolved, If
possible, to stay their progress, SO that
they might not extend to other parts OF
the workings. At length the superinten-
dent of the Collieries, Mr.. 7. Cooper. con-
ceiyed the idea of building wall to shut
in the fire, and in order to ascertain the
best site for this wall. several of the officials
erept on their hands and knees, through
the dense sitting smoke, as far as possible
into the workings. Their efforts were sue
cessful. and wall is now completed near
ly 900 yards in length, and varying
from nine inches to FIVE feet in thickness.
At distances varying from thirty to fifty
yards, metal pipes have been inserted into
the wall, which are securely plugged at the
erd. SO that at any time by removing the
plugs, the state of the air on the other side
of the fire can be ascertained. SO intense
is the heat arising from this fire, that the
people possessing gardens above the Col
liery declare that the growth of plants is
materially effected. and they are enabled
to obtain two and three crops every year.

Death and tile Grave.

81 am hungry" said the grave. 'Give
me food"
Death answered:
Il will send forth minister of awful
destruction, and you will be satisfied"
What minister will you send!
81 will send alcohol. He shall 'go in
the guise of food and medicine, pleasure
and hospitality. The people shall drink
and die
And the grave answered:
81 am content.
And now the church bells began to toll,
and the mournful procession to advance.
"Who are they bringing now!" said
the Grave.
"Ah," said Death, ,"they are bringing a
household. The drunken father aimed n
blow at his wife. He killed the mother
and his child together and then dashed out
his own life."
"And who," said the Grave, ''comes
next, followed by train of weeping chill
dren?"
This is broken-hearted woman, who
has longed away in want, while her hus-
band has wasted away his substance
at the tavern. And he too, is borne be-
hind killed BY the hand of violence"
s,And who next?'
"a young ..man of generous impulses,
who step by step, became dissipated and
squandered his all. My agent turned him
out to be frozen in the street"
"Hush p said the Grave; ''now l hear
a wall of anguish that will not be silenc-
ed"
eyes, it is the widows cry. 1t is the
only son of his mother. He spurned her
love, reviled her warning, and a bloated
corpse he comes to thee. And thus they
come-further than the eye can reach, the
procession crowds to thy abodes. And
still lured by the enchanting cup which
have mingled, the sons of men crowd the
paths of dissipation. Vainly they dream OF
escape, but l shut behind them the invis-
ible door of destiny. They know it not
and with song and dance and riot, they
hasten to thee, o Grave Then | throw
my fatal spell upon new throngs OF youth
and soon they, too, will be with thee.

GENERAL Sheridan thinks that the
want of good cavalry by the French was
their fatal deficiency. He says that fly
ing column of first class mounted cavalry
men, vigorously led and directed, would
have cut the investing forces around Paris
to pieces. There is little doubt that. In
the earlier days of the seige. the sixty
thousand horses afterward devoured by
the Parisians. might have been turned to
much more profitable account.

IT is a great mistake in female educa-
ton to keep young lady's time and at
tention devoted only to the fashiona-
able literature of the day. If you
would qualify her for conversation, you
must give her something TO talk about.
rive her education in the actual world and
its transpiring events. Urge Ler to read
the newspapers, and become familiar with
the present character and improvements
of the age. History is cfsome Importance !;
but the past world is dead we have moth
ing to do with it. Our thoughts and our
concerns should be for the present world !;
to know what vt is and improve its con-
dition. Let her have an intelligent opin-
and be able to sustain conversation accord
ing to the mental. moral and religious in-
proyement of orr times.

accidentally swallowed silver half dollar.
They gave him hot water and tartar emet-

fingers down his throat until the boy ina
gined he would up his toe nails. After
while doctor came along who understood

TIGHT-FITTING clothes are serious
evil. but a far greater one is their unequal
distribution upon the person. One part
over-cloth. and another not half-clad, is a
very common condition, especially among
women and children. Women are govern
ed by fashion, children are governed by
women, and it is the great resources OF
fashion to produce new effects by plling
on the textures, now here and now there.
and by leaving other parts exposed. III
the declared purpose were to induce dis
ease. no surer and more effectual way
could be found to do it than this. The de-
ranpement of the circulation is direct and
immediate its healthy equilibrium is dc
stroyed, the thinly-dressed parts lose their
blood to the most vascular, and internal de-
rangements give rise to various chronic
bodily ailments. Ladies, have an eye to
this matter.

The Fate Of a Fighting Dog.

A man he owned tarrier dog
A bob-tailed onery cuss-
And that there purp got that there man
In many an ugly muss;
For the man he was on his muscle,
And the dog he was on his bite,
So to kick the dog-goned animile,
Was sure to raise a fight.
A woman owned Thomas cat,
That fit at fifteen pounds;
The other cats got up and slid
When that their eat was round.
The man and his dog came along one day
Where the woman she did dwell,
And the purp he growled ferociously,
And went for the cat like-everything
He tired to chaw the neck of the cat,
But the cat he wouldn't be chawed,
So he lit on the back of that there dog,
And bit aud chawed land clawed
Oh the hair it flew and the dog he
yothed
AS the claws went into his hide,
And chunks of flesh was peeled from
his back;
Then he flummuXed. and kicked ana
died
The man he ripped, and cursed and
AS he gathered big brickbat,
That he would be darned essentially
If he didn't kill the cat
But the old woman allowed she'd be
blessed if he did.
And snatched up an old shot gun,
Which she fired and pepered his
diaphragm
With bird shot number one.
They toted him home ona window-Dilnd
And the doctor cured him up;
But he never was known to fight again,
Or to own another purp.
Folks may turn up their snoots at this
here rhyme,
don't care a cuss for that;
All want to show is, that fighting dorgs
May tackle the wrong Tom cat.

rFrou, the Cspital.]

fFrom the Cspital.]
Maynie Reid, the prolific author of wild
stories for little aud big children. was
once q gallant soldier, and distinguished
himself in the Mexican war. After the
capture Of the city of Mexico, he was
wont to empty his trunk in adorning his
handsome person before calling upon the
fair Gandaloupe, and while 90 doing
would stir up his eashusiasm by reciting
poetry. much to the wrath and disgust
uf his brother officers, who had no fine
clothes and no loves. One day while
dressing, he roared out:
-At midnight, i'm HE guarded tent,
The Turk lay dreaming Of the hour
When Greece her kneea-"

sl,all, ssHhy did she grease her knees ,"

.You said grease her knees Now,
tho question that agitates the country is,
why did they grease her knees .
The gay lieutenant gazed for q nsosnens
in blank amazen,ent, and said sternly;
"You're fool"
A duel was the consequence, in which
Ned arshall. with his usual luck, got
the worse oft.
