HEARTH AND HOME. This
clIaste literary and family
journal, besides the usual fine
illustrations it contains, is al.
ways filled with choice reading
for the family circle, and the
farm and garden. We have
always admired the publica.
tons of Orange Judd & Co.,
for their freedom from all that
is immoral or anything that
tends to. impose the people.
The Hearth and Home is
published weekly; at 50 per an.
F, mum: and since it has been in
the hands of the present pub
fishers, it has improved in il
Illustrations and Typography as
well as very materially increas
ed its circulation. 1t is one O.
the few papers that can b.
placed in the family without
the least fear of having an i'm
moral tendency. Orange Judo

into the great slough of cor
ruption, until it will have no
opinions, so that it will be an
easy matter for Fed. Grant to
step into the succession when
the old man dies, and thus es
tablish a dynasty. Buckle
thinks, and uses fine argu-
ments to prove, that fools
make the best kings. l do not
take Grant to be fool at all,
and so think that even our few
monarchy men ought to vote
against him. But if the dy-
nasty be established, from all
accounts, the successor to the
present incumbent would be
found fully endowed with the
necessary qualification. This
is q small morsel of comfort,
at any rate.

Very near perfection has
been reached in the Sewing
Machine. Indeed more men
tai and manual labor has been
used in its mandatory during
the time since its invention
than has been used in the
steam engine. 1t is truly the
big thing of our times. Among
the first of these machines
constructed that proved sue
cessful was the Singer. But
its makers were not satisfied
simply with its equality with
others, they must needs buy
up and apply all the various
patents that would improve it
Consequently now tits consid.
cred by most persons as the
very best. Of the few ma
chimes in our small village one
is tie Singer. 1t has been used
by a family, continuously
more than twelve months, with
out once getting out of order
Its work is simply perfect.
To judge of the general pop
ularity of the machine see its
advertisement in another col
umn. The facts there stated
are VIGOROUSLY true and have
been going the rounds of the
papers as a news item, fol
more than twelve months un
disputed.

The Vicksburg (NIiss.) Hell
aid voucheS for this, if true, GER
tainly very remarkable fact /:
sin the blooming, beautiful,
balmy May of 1868, one of
those dreadful battIe-stained
years never to be forgotten,
General Tilghman fell shot
dead, at the battle of Cham
pion Hill, gallanfly struggling
in defense of his cherished
principles. His noble life
ebbad away on the spot where
he fell, and the sad earth drank
his blood with greedy thirsti-
ness. But upon that immedi-
ate spot grew a peach tree that
had reached maturity. while its
roots stepped themselves in the
mar yrs blood. Singular to
relate, the leaves and fruit OF
this tree are of a blood-red
color. The tree was trans
planted, and is now in the
orchard of DR.. j. L. Hebron, of
this county. The preparations
from the tree are of the same
peculiar color. There is some
thing very peculiar about this.
We have seen the leaves, and
must confess that they do look
and even Ito us) smell like
blood. The fact can be wit
messed by those taking the
trouble"

A REVEREND RAsCAI.-n-

A REVEREND RAsCAL.-On
Thursday morning, VIM. H.
Trammell, Town Sergeant Of
the corporation of Goodson, ar
rested James b. Lawson, of
Hawkins county, Tenn, who
was charged with abductino
the daughter of his brother, d.
@. Lawson, of the same countyA
He was taken before Mayor
Fowler, and acknowledged that
he was guilty of the crime
charged. He left a wife and
child at home, having one child
dead. He said he intended TO
marry the girl, and thus add to
the crime of abduction those of
bigamy and incest. He is said
to be a member of Longs Bend
Baptist Church, Hawkins coun-
ty, and a local preacher in the
same. The girl is about eighteen
years old, and was much dis
tressed. We could not obtain
a view of her face. Her father
said he intended to take her
back home. Evidently, they
are all poor and ignorant.
When the criminal was told by
Mayor Fowler that he was good
for the Penitentiary, he ex-
pressed u perfect indifference
to the matter, aud said he
would prefer the Penitentiary
to Bristol.
Nevertheless, the News in
forms us that Notwithstanding
the confessions of Lawson, the
Justice TO whom he was turned
over by the Mayor afterward
turned him loose, for the rea-
son that the brother had start
ed home with his ruined
daughter, declining, we sup
pose, to prosecute the case.
