BETWEEN STRENGTH
OF WILL AND STRENGTH OF

A very clear illustration of the distinction
between strength of will and strength OF
mind was once given by gay young fellow
who probably had never read a page OF
metaphysics in his life. This young gentle
man, whose friends called him Bob, for
shortneSs, was of an exceedingly nervous
temperament, and any unusual indulgence
in wine was sure to leave him in a shaky
and unhappy condition. Bob had conse-
auential acquaintance named Waffles, who
was gifted with the absorbing qualities of a
sponge, and who, although in the habit of
drinking much more freely than Bob, was
never known to exhibit any signs Of inc
briefly.
One morning Waffles called upon his
friend, whom be found seated upon the
stool of repentance, with wet towel bound
round his head, and several empty soda
bottles by his side; and, shocked at the
sight, he began to moralize.
$50 you were tight again last night, eh?''
said Waffies. "Now, why don't you do as
1 do? When 1 have drunk enough stop.
You should have more strength of mind,
and initiate me-"
"Strength of mind" snarled Bob, who
nervous and irritable, had very little dispo-
sitiOn to submit to temperance lecture
from such a source; f'What the deuce has
strength of mind to do with it? Strength
of will you mean"
SWELL" guoth Waffies, "What is the diff
ference?"
'1'n tell you the difference" retorted
Bob, vindictively; "brutes have no mind at
all, but jackass has more strength of will
than any being that breathes.n

Means What He Sayss-Though ICON
frmatiOns strong as proofs of Holy Writ"
and as numerous as the sands on the sea
shore, were produced to prove that DR..
Pierce, the proprietor Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, is in earnest and means what he
says, when he offers $500 reward for any
case of catarrh which he cannot cure, yet
there would be some skeptics and fogies
who would continue TO shout ithumbug!"
"humbugI!" 'It cannot be, because Dr..
Homespun says catarrh cannot be
cured" Now, this DIR. HOmespun is
the identical, good natured old fellow who
honestly believes and persists In declaring
that this earth is not round or spherical, but
fat as 'slap- jack," and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spilled
out Of Deacon BoseOm's mill pond. But
astronomical science hrs positively demon
stra.ed aud proven that DR.. Homespun is
wrong in supposing this earth to be fat and
stationary, and medical science is daily
proving the fact that he is no less mistaken
and behind the times in regard to the cura-
bility Of catarrh. In short, it has been
positively proven that this world moves, and
that medical science is progessive-the
opinion of DR.. Homespun to the contrary
notwithstanding. That DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy viii cure eatarTh, thousands who
have used it attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt DO not stand;
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.

neath Of Phinehns Gnrrett.

Our readers viii remember the accident
that occurred a week ago, by which our
well-known townsman, Phinehas Garrett,
received serious injuries. For several days
the symptoms were favorable, and it was
anticipated that be would be out again, but
in the meantime erysipelas ensued from
the wound, and since Friday last, he con-
tinued to get worse, and yesterday about 2
O'Clock, death relieved him of bis sufferings.
The deceased was born in New Port,
Cooke county, East Tennessee, on the 18th
ofNo7eml er Isl land died in this city, the
Sd day of June, 1872, being in the ffty-ffth
years of his aye. At an early age he immi-
grated with his fIther, the Rev. VIM. Gar
rett, of this city, and the first we knew of
him he was officiating as deputy to several
of the officers of this county, where, by his
bland and courteous manner, he so en-
deared himself to our people that when he
ran for County Register in 1852, he was
elected over his opponent, a very popular
gentleman, by the handsome majority of
l,402 votes. He held this OfAce for
twelve years, and without disparagement
to others, we will say that he was
regarded as the best Register the
county ever had. In 1866 he was
0iCCJCA 4luoISC I'LL bLC OOuAbl5 11A
the same year he was elected to represent
the Sixth Ward in the City Council, in
both of which positions he acquitted him
self in a most creditable manner, and has
left public record behind him as enduring
in the hearts of his people as the rocks of
his adopted city. On the 31st of July,
1874, he was united in marriage to Miss
Margaret V. Fulsher, with whom he lived
happily, and whom be now leaves with an in
teresting family to mourn his loss. Hon.
est and upright in his dealings with
his fellow men, courteous and
obliging in his disposition, fraternal to his
associates and grateful to his Creator, his
death causes a void in cur community not
easy to be filed, and we join our fellow
citizens in sympathy for his bereaved

The Exposition.

Exhibitors were yesterday removing their
goods and wares from the Exposition
building, the tortured interior of which,
stripped of so much that is beautiful aud
which had been attractive to thousands for
a month past, Is an apt illustration of some
banquet hall deserted. Mccormack yester-
day made all present sample his ale, mineral
water and champagne cider, which he had
had on exhibition, while HOLSTER set up the
lemonade; they were excellent. There will
be a meeting of the Board of Managers in
the building at four o'clock this afternoon.

A VEGETABLE CURIOSITY.

FIUtiI IuU 7AuVVIIIl De'IIIN7I IIHft F7ttf1'
Our attention haze been attracted to nat
ural curiosity recently taken from an Aa-
burn garden by Holden. 1t is piece ofthe
shinb0ne of beet, which had been sawed
off about six inches from the knee joint,
and had by some means got in vertical
positian in the earth short distance below
the surface. Directly above this bone a
radish happened to be planted which ger
minated in due time and sent its root straight
down the cavity that had formerly been
filed with marrow, penetrating tie entire
length of the bone and filling 1t to its utmost
capacity. We have heard of the marrow
squash and the marrow pea; may this not
be considered a self constituted marrow
radish?

Can't sam. Little.

Speaking of the mysterious disappearance
of Capt. Sam. j. Little, Of the Transfer
Company, from this city, the Coorier-JOur-
nal of Saturday says:
"George S. Clark, of this city, states that
be went up to Cincinnati on the same train
with Captain Little, in company with a
number of others, whom he supposed to be
delegates to the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr.. Clarke observed nothing strange or I'M
usual in Captain Little's conduct or CONVEX
satiOn, and was with him until within few
miles of Cincinnati, when Capt. L. sudden
" disappeared from the train and could not
be found, though Mr.. Clark hunted dill
gently through the cars for him. The dele
gates we're evidently acquaintance ofCapt.
Little, and among them was an intelligent
German from Nashville, who, on the ar
rival of the train at Cincinnati, went to the
residence of a Mr.. Kaufman, brewer OF
that city. These facts have been commu-
nicated to Capt. Little's friends in Nash
vile, and may furnish clue by which he
will be traced.

THE LATE RADICAL CONVENTION

a Nashville correspondent has furnished
the Athens Post some information concern
ing the late Radical Convention not gener-
ally known. The correspondent says:
''In the late Radical State Convention at
Nashville some amusing scenes might have
been witnessed. 1t is generally known
that it was composed of ofice-holders al
most exclusively-such as Postmasters, ..
S. Marshals, NJ. C.'s, U. S. Assistant Reve-
nue. Collectors and Assessors, District At
torneys and Clerks and commissioners Of
the U. S. District Courts, and so on. So
great was the preponderance of ofhcholders
that our friend H., who is Of facetious
turn of mind and loves a joke, no mat
ter at whose expense it may be, got up
q proposition to this effect: That each
delegate should give his name, place
of residence, what Office he now holds,
how long he. has held it, and what office he
expected under the incoming administra-
ton. H., after preparing the proposition,
gravely signed his own name, giving his
residence and his position as Assistant
Revenue Collector, ETC., and called upon the
balance to do likewise. Commissioner
Houk, who can be little profane on occa-
sion, swore that such proceeding would
everlastingly ruin Grants prospects IN Ten
nessee; Mr.. Maynard, who never swears,
but is generally as pious as Yankee dea-
con over his fifth glass of New England
rum, looked over it, gave a CHASTITY smile,
aud said it "was impolitie;;" Congressman
Butter, the wickedest man in East Ten
nessee, wanted to know ''what in the h-l
it means;" District Attorney Andrews read
the pape- syllable by syllable, turned up the
whites of his eyes like a duck in a
thunderstorm, unused moment, and pom
derously shook his Websterian head; Assis-
tant Revenue Assessor Ross ripped out an
oath as long as a iberty-pole; and with
characteristic bluntness declared his will
lingness to mareh two miles with his coffin
on his back rather than put his fist to any
such eut-throat paper. And so of the
whole crowd-not one would sign expect
ing our friend H., who closed the tableau
by gravely inquiring # they we're afraid to
show who and what they were and what
they expected to be.
SIT is said there was but one non-offiee-
holder in the Convention, and he a eolored
delegate who had been promised something
in the event of Grants reelection, of which
a good many candid and well informed
Republicans are beginning to entertain. Sc
riOus doubts" ... r

About o'clock yesterday afternoon the
horse attached to buggy took fright il
front of Sharp's stable, in Edgefeld, throw
ing out the occupants, Mr.. Csrsey and Mr.
Granville johnson, tie latter of whom re-
ceived severe shock, resulting in concus-
sion of the brain, and cuts on the head
near the ear. After being thrown out OF
the vehicle, young johnson was picked up
in a senseless condition, but restored to
consciousness by timely medical aid. The
injuries are not of fatal nature, so thought
the physicians last evening.

Talk at the Teilet.-Every Isdy's
maid knows that The bewitcbing beings
who pave their triumphant way with con-
q1ered hearts, regard splendid head Of
hair the most effective OF all womanly
destinations. They believe, and they e
right, that they can lasse as many beaux
with the luxuriant ringIets and glossy braids
as they can skill at sights with their beam
ing eyes. Hence in their atoiIet talkn
among themselves and with their attend
ants, the merits Of preparations for the hair
are freely eaRvassed, and the latest result Of
this discussion seems to be the almost uni
versal adoption Of Lyons Kathairon as an
article better adapted TO promote the growth
and beauty of the ''Chief Glory Of Woman
than any other at present before the world.
They say that without irritating the skin Of
the head IL eradicates dandruf, and that It
penetrates below the surface to the roots of
the hair, endowing them with new life and
vigor. je4 eod1w6w1t
