My Castl,s.

BY GEO, L. cArLrS.
Domes and miparets and towers
Turrets which can kiss the sky,
Grottoes cool, and leafy bowers
Clad in buds that never die,
These, and beauties twice as fair,
Deck my castles in the air.
Flecks of clouds, all bright aud golden,
Hover round their shadowy walls;
Strains and voices, sweet an olden,
Echo through those spectral halls.
Many an angel fingers where
Float my castles in the air.
Oft at sunset as ponder
Der the glories in the West,
And my restless spirits wander
Far and vide in search of rest,
Angels whisper, '' See, tits there,
In yon castles in the air."
But when I approach them nearer,
And their beauties fan would clasp,
Neither more distinct nor clearer
Ever they eiude my grasp.
And turn in sad despair
From my castles IN the air

A Wild Man in McNairy County, Tenn.
From the Jackson Tenn Wing.


We learn that between Sobby and
Evansville, on what is called Piney, in
McNalry county, a strange and fright
ful being has been observed for several
weeks. He is said to be seven feet
high, and possessed of great muscular
power His eyes are unusually large
and fiery red his hair hangs in a
tangled and matted mass of Jet below
his waist, and his beard reaches below
his middle. His entire body1s covered
with hair, and his whole aspect is most
frightful, He shuns the sight Of
men, but approaches with wild and
horrid screams of delight every woman
who is unaccompanied by man. He
sometimes with great caution approach
es houses, and should he see man, he
runs away with astonishing swiftness,
leaping the tallest fences with the ease
Of deer, defying alike the pursuit Of
men and dogs He has frightened sew
eral women by attempting to carry
them off, as well as by his horrid aspect,
and the whole country around Sobby is
in CONSERVATION. The citizens are now
securing the woods, and are determined
either to capture or drive Off the mon
ster.

Thorough culture and high manur-

Assessed value

The greater part of the depreciation
is accounted for simply by the deduc-
ton OF the value OF slave property. In
1860, those eight States owned 2,340,-
600 slaves, which were assessed about
81, 300, 100000 When the slaves were
emancipated, the value of our real es-
tate fell so to IS per cent, an in many
pnrts of the country became almost
worthless. We may safely calculate a
depreciation of 80 per cent. in real es-
tate throughout the South, IA the re-
suit OF emancipation. Other personal
property than slaves was destroyed to
the value of several hundred millions
of dollars. In fact, the war completely
swept away three-fourths of the per-
sonal property in the southern States.
The seven States above enumerated, in
1860 had 1856, 000,0 worth of live
stock, of which scarcely any remained
at the close of the contest.
II the value CT the slaves be deduct
ed, and an allowance of fifty per cent
reduction in the value of other per-
sonal property and real estate, the as
sessed wealth of these seven states in
1865 was only $3.50, 0OO,0 900. Now the
assessed value Of their property is
81, 455, 1872, 5l5-an increase of over
seventy two per cent. in five years, or
fourteen and half per cent. per an
mum.
Such a progress after four years OF
war, and in the face of almost over
whelming difficnlties,is as proud a rec
ord rs is furnished in the history Of the
world. But the figures of the census
conceal a portion of the recent advance
in property values. Nearly every one
of these states is more or less tax rid
den, and the taxes are imposed by gov
eminent authorities not in harmony
with property holders /; hence the latter
strive to have their property returned
as low as possible.

SOUTHERN WEALTH.

From the New Orleans Picsyune

From the New Orleans Fcayune.
AS Is usual when new census Is
taken, Journalists delight to deduct
conclusions from the statistics recently
collected by the Government officials.
and publish startling changes in wealth
and population since 1860. For some
time an article has been going the
rounds of the press, in which is re-
counted the alarming depreciation of
property values in the Southern states
within the last decade As is also
usual in such cases. the statistics are
but partially considered, and hence
false differences are deducted from
them, which, in this instance, are cal
culated to deter immigration to the
Southern states and prevent capitalists
from sending or bringing money here
for investment.
The article to which we refer states
that in some half dozen southern
States the value of real and personal
property has deprecated 81, $50. 600, 600
The statement lis partially true, but it
Is so put that the losses inflicted by the
war upon the South are greatly magni-
fed.
These are the facts of the case. Par
tial returns to the Census Office at
Washington show the assessed valua-
tions of real and personal property in
eight OF the southern States, according
to tho ninth census, which are set forth
in she table below, and opposite to
which we give the values in 1919:

THE ORPHANS HOME.

To say we take great plesure IN say
ing the attendance at the Orphans Fes-
tival last night, was immense IN point
of numbers, would convey a very faint
idea Of the delight we experience in
making the announcement. The Hall
was thronged with beauty and fashion,
presenting a scene OF female loneliness
seldom equaled.
At the tables were mitrailleuse bat
teries OF coaxing eyes, and every discrip-
ton Of articles, from a pin cushion to a
miniature locomotive, all the delicacies
usually found on such occasions are
offered in abundance and at reasonable
prices. Everybody in attendance seemed
pleased, contented, and consequently
happy.
The Festival will be continued this
evening, and we venture to say that a
more pleasant and enjoyable evening
can not be spent than at Washington
Hall. Remember, boys, charity covers
multitude of sins, and you should
all go.

FAST HORSES FOR THE EVANSVILLE
RACEs.-We learn from the Cumber.
land Nsws that Messrs. Thomas B. and
w. r. Davis OF New Creek, have taken
four Of their fast running horses to
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, to compete in the races
to be held at that place during the pres
ent week. The Messrs Davis are own
ers of some very fine horses, amongs:
which is "Fadladeen, four year old
chestnut sorrel horse lately purchased
from George Cadwalader, Esq, in Ken
lucky, and said to he the fastest horse
in America, having won race at Lex
ington, Kentucky, few weeks since, in
which he made the fastest time on re-
cord in the United States, being mile
in Las Of their other horses at these
races, the Messrs. Davis will have
allie Hunt" bay horse, five years
old, which ia also a wi nner: "Skir-
misher, with when our people are well
acquainted, and great favorite here;
and little Katie" the sorrel three-year
old, that ran in race at our last Fair.
We hope to hear good report from
this stock of thorough breds. as our
people feel q local interest in Messrs.
Davis horses and their triumphs.

Police CouRT.-The Police Court
was first-class fizzle yesterday. Not
a galoot of high or low degree made
his appearance. 1t is an unhappy
omen to have the Police Court to go
back on a poor, sweltering, melting
scribbler Of items, on a Monday morn
ing.
James Young was the youth that
saved the reputation OF the court yes
terday; and we don't intend, if we can
help it, that his name shall pass away
like sweet tune or soft melody, but it
shall be emblazoned on the tablets Of
history in letters of gold. James was
charged with creating tumult and dis
order on Saturday. He wasn't pre-
pared to prove his innocence, SO the trial
was continued until this morning to
give him a chance to do so.

terday, for the arrest of Capt, Phil
Anschutz for assault and battery. VI
course upon the trial it was proven
that O Donnell was the aggressor' but
did not receive half OF what he deserved
1t appears that O'Donnell got on the
steamer Express, of which Phil ls the
popular commander, with his hide full
of bad whisky, disturbing the comfort
of the passengers and interfering with
the officers of the boat in the discharge
of their duties. Capt Absolute, re-
quested him to keep quiet, but without
effect His only remedy was 10 COM
pei him 10 do so, which he did.
Squire Gillespy upon hearing the
evidence, dismissed the charge.

ALMOST AN AccIDENr.-On Sunday

on porch attached to rather old

above Adams, known as Joseph Greer

Raising herself from the rubbish ofrot
ten boards, &c, she exclaimed on being
asked If she was injured, she guessed
she was more frightened than hurt
Fortunately for the little child near her
side, that portion of the porch did not
give way, otherwise it would probably
have been fatally injured. 1870,

Hoohand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined

i'm cases when some alcoholic stimulant is
required in connection with the Tonic prop
critics of the bitters. Each bottle or the
Tonic contains one bottle of the Filters,
combined with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum,
and favored in such manner that the ex-
IRENE bitterness OF the bitters Is overcome,
forming preparation highly agreeable and
pleasant TO the palate, and containing the
medicinal virtues of the Bitters. The price
of the Tonic is $50 per bottle, which many
persons think too high. They must take
into consideration that the stimulant used
is guaranteed TO he Of a pure quality. A
poor article could be furnished AT cheaper
price, but is ii not better to pay little more
and have a good article? A medicinal pre-
marathon should contain none but the best
Ingredients; and they who expect to obtain
a cheap compound, and be benefited by II,
will mos! certainly be cheated.
