Intendant.

A poor spirit is poorer than a poor
purse
IT is fruition, and not ossession, that
renters us happy.
Whatever makes men happier make
them better.
Gravity is the irsoparable companion
of pride.
1t costs riotc to nvenge wrongs thaa
to bear them!
Never let your honest convictions be
laughed down.
There is heroic innocence, as we'll
as h :roic courage.
We should not retain the remem-
brancc Of faults we have once forgiven.
The grand essentials to happiness arc
something to do, something to loso, and
something to hope for.
Truth is immortal; the sword cahhot
pierce it, fire cannot CONSUME ii, prisohs
cannot inrarcerate it. famine cnnnct
starvc it.
Grief knis two hearts iu closer bonds
than happiness ever can; and common
suffering is far stronger link than
common JOY.

the 18th instant. The Marshall House,
fine, large brick building, the Court
House and the entire block of buildings
between those two, on the lett side of
the main square, were entirely consumed !.

greater part of their stock, as did also

the smaller buildings on the two blocks,
occupied by freedmen, were destroyed.
The books and records in the Court
House, Clerks, Sheriff's, County Treasu-

give the origin of the difhculty which
has terminated go seriously, between
Fisk and Stokes.
Stokes was born in Philadelphia, in
1841, and removed to New York with
his family some years ago. He married
lady of good family some ten years
ago, and has by her own child, girl of
nine years of age. In June Of last year,
Mrs. Stokes, who was in bad health,
visited Europe to seek some benefit
from the mineral springs of Central
Germany, and when last heard from, as
late as December 3, was in Paris. Near
ly year and half ago Mr.. Stokes be.
came acquainted with Mr. Fisk, and
through the introduction of the latter
he made the acquaintance of Helen
Josephehe Mansfield, the ci-devant wife
of Frank Lawlor, an actor. An init
macy sprung up between the two which
has resulted in the shooting. This fatal
in timacy was the ca use of serious trou-
| ble between Edward Stokes and his
wife.
Every one who reads the papers is,
familiar with the suits aud counter suits
OF the three principals-Fisk, Mansfield
and Stokcs-which have burdened the
Courts aud the newspaper columns for a
year past. Stokes has always asserted
that Fisk had robbed him of fortune
OF 100000 accum ulated in the oil
refinery business, which was the Joint
property of Edward Stokes and his mo.
ther. He was arrested by Fisk last
year and locked up to answer charge
which was made against him of fraud
Stakes has since sued Fisk for false im-
priSonment. The first Fisk Stokes war
has continued in the Courts for pine
months. Stokes has expended in law.
yers fees during the last twelve months
nearly thirty eight thousand dollars, and
this contest has beggarcd him. The
Iuasrei between the two men has bceu

Fire in the Country.

| On yesterday morning the residence of Mrs
E. Is. Baker, about one mile from Knoxville,
caught fire and was consumed, together with
the greater portion of the furniture.
The house was substantial brick building
and was occupied by Mrs. Baker and her daugh-
tiers, who are at loss to account for the fire, as
there had been none in the kitchen since din
ner on Monday, and the ladies had eaten cold
bread for supper in preference to kindling fire
for hooking. AT ten clock Mrs. Baker visit
ed the kitchen, but did not see so much as n
spark, but about two o'clock one of the ladies
was aroused by the glare Of the flames in her
room and at once gave the alarm, but too late to
save much except 4 few articles of wearing ap-
parel and bedding.
The fire is thought to have originated near
the kitchen roof and some suspicious of incen-
diarism have been mooted, but gentleman just
from there thinks it purely accidental.
The house was built by Moses White, father
Of George Nj. White, Sr., and was one of the
oldest in East Tennessee. Its value and that of
the furniture consumed is between five and six
thousand dollars. No insuranc.
