Native Genius.

Something over year ago Knoxville became
aware of the fact that genius was in its midst
in the person of Lloyd Branson, a youth ito for
tune and to fame unknown" but whose efforts
in painting evinced high order of talent Re-
cognizing the fact, DR.. Boyd and a number of
other gentlemen exerted themselves in his be-
half and a sum of money was raised to enable
him TO prosecute his studies and qualify himself
for the position he was designed by nature to
FILL
Young Branson during the past year has
painted several excellent portraits, which have
gained for him considerable local reputation
and have been highly complimented by gentle
M n familiar with art not only in the large
cities of this country. but in Europe
Young Branson's precOclty was developed at
a very tender age, when he would obtain small
quantities of paint from the house painters and
portray the features of prominent men which
he sold to his schoolmateS for small sums
These were executed with scarcely an effort,
and though crude as the infantile effort of Ben
jamin West with his baby sister, may yet, if
Fortune is propitious, be cited with as much
pride that of the distinguished artist above
mentioned.
Not only has Branson a remarkably correct
idea of mere painting, but also of models, as
we are told. his first being made when at play
with some of his childish friends. and if we are
correctly informed, before he had given any in
dicalions OF his extraordinary talents, the ma
teriaI used being common clay and. the design.
the head and bust of an Indian, with the pro-
jecting cheek bones correctly developed the
type of manhood no doubt being intuitively
suggested and acted on by the color of the ma
terial used. Lloyd has a host Of warm friends
and admirers in this city, and we hope that he
may be aided to acquire an education and be
furnished with facilities to pursue his studies
and thus enabled take his stand among Ameri-
c IN artists whose productions evince talent equal
10 that Of any other nation.

COMMERCIAL.
CORRECTED DAILT BY

Produce and Commission Merchant,
Market Place, Knorvile, Tennessee
KNOXVILLE, TENN. July 9, 1872.

Reports of Wheat during the week embrace
about 1O, 600 bushels; about half of this amount
was delivered on first engagements at 915O for
white, $1.30a1. So for amber or red. 5000 BUSH
els was bought and shipped on mill order from
Macon, Ga, at 81. 40 for white, $3.50 for red,
81. 35 for amber. With the completion of these
orders the market collapsed and to-day there is
not purchaser in the field. The result is an
unsettled market with anxious enquiries for
the price of Wheat. 1t is fact now we'll estab-
lished in the minds of all that the yield is much
larger and the wheat heavier than was expected,
and the demand so far confined exclusively to
Southern millers. Prices must give way and
may 90 below its actual value. We expressed
the opinion some time ago that prime Wheat
would settle at about S1.25, red and amber 10 to
Is lower. Recent developments have strength
ened that opinion.
No change in the corn market sales confined
to city supply at former prices. There is some
inquiry as to the opening price of oats all Of
which was harvested this week, and the grain
heavy, though not a full crop on account of the
dry weather In May. We.state rs a profitable
price 33c from the thrseher.
The trade is confined to local demand az for
mer rate.
Bacon, 10000 lbs received and sold to local
trade.
No demand for hay except for local wants
The crop is short, but good. If pro-
ducers and shippers will combine interests in
this department and offer nothing but a prime
article, we can soon make this an important ar
ticle of export.

CATTLE.
The receipts of beef cattle during the past
week were small and of ordinary quality. The
demand is entirely limited to city consumption,
and is therefore small. There are few cattle in
the country in shipping condition, and the
weather is too warm to ship any distance We
do not anticipate much activity in the market
before the latter part of August. We hear
considerable inquiry for good mich cows and
calves-from $50 to $35 being offered for the
former.

What Boyd's Aftorneys Think.

On the evening of the day on which Thomas
G. Boyds celebrated letter was published in
the CHRONICLE, two of his counsel in the cases
referred to, and sought to be dismissed by a lit
tie diplomacy, wero engaged in conversation on
the subject-one Republican the other DEM
ocrat g--.F .
The Republican said to his Democratic asso-
ciate: This is the result of false teaching by
Democratic newspapers in charging Grant with
being corrupt, and being ready to do anything
for political effect Boyd has supposed his party
papers would tell nothing but the truth, and has
been mixed and you see the awkward fix in
which our client is thus placed by Democratic
lies"
The Democratic law heard his Republican
associate through then shrugged his shoulders
and replied: THAT can't be true. Boyd was
never misled by anything that appeared in the
Democratic papers. He has been a Democrat
too long, and understands the tactics of the par
ty too well to believe anything that a Demo
cratic newspaper would say in regard to poll
teal opponent-especially in regard to Grant"

The Chattanooga Herald of yesterday con-
tains the following in relation to the suicide OF
young man named John Markwater, when
took place in that city at twelve o'clock. moons
The deceased had been engaged in the 1 dairy airy
business, was native of Switzerland, ana was
about thirty-two years of age. From what we
can gather in the way of Information he had
inc himself under heavier obligations than he
could well meet on their becoming due, and it
is thought that this circumstance, which had
for some time weighed heavily upon his mind,
led to the rash act.
He left letter on his person which gave
thorough instructions as to the disposition Of
his property, and freely exculpated all persons
but himself from being in any way instrument
tai TO the deed His property was willed in
this letter to young woman, now living with
the family of Mr. Jacob Kuntz, to whom it is
said he was engaged to be married as soon as he
could release himself of debt. A coroners jul
~ was summoned, and rendered verdict in
accordance with the circumstances of his death.
He had the reputation of being an honest and
industrious young man.

VitaliZe the Hair.

Why does the hair become harsh and dry
Simply because the life has gone out of it. The
fbers draw sustenance from the scalp as the
grass draws aliment from the soil, and when the
supply of nutriment is cut off in either case the
product withers and dies. At the first symptom
of decay, therefore, the unfed or haf-fed roots
of the hair should be refreshed and reinforced
with Lyons Catharon, the only preparation
which will nourish the flaments and keep them
in n vigorous condition after they have begun
to suffer from deficiency of their natural slim
ulent. As long as the Kathairon is faithfully
used with a proper degree of friction. morning
and evening, so long will it be impossible for
the hair to whiten or fall out from the scalp
