TENNEssEEs PENSION ROLL.

The Rebel-Democracy of Tennessee pro-
pose to pension the leaders of the "Lost
Cause" upon the people of the State by
giving them all the honorable and profit
able places of trust. We rather think
Conservative Union men and sensible ex-
Confederates are about tired of the policy,
and propose in the coming election to put
stop to it, Counting all the candidates
for the Legislature, there is hardly one
West of the East Tennessee line that was
not prominent in the rebel cause and bas-
ing his claims for office upon the grounds
of his services to the Confederate cause.
For general information, we give below a
list of a fen of the leading ex-Confederates
now aspiring for "Pensions:n
Maj. Gen. Jno @. Brown, candidate for Gov nor.

THE New York press, with the excep-
ton of the World, concede that the NOM
ination of Gen. Dix for Governor is the
very strongest the Republicans could have
made. He was strong war Democrat and
has been in sympathy with the Republi-
cans since the war.

THE tide has set in so strong for Grant
that betting men now find it very hard to
get Greeley men with courage enough to
back their champion. The game of Drag
is over and Greeley stock sinking as fast as
possible. The last two weeks have about
ruined the Chappaquacks.

There are three ways to sweep carpet-one
right and two wrong ways. One wrong way ia
to hold the broom nearly in front Of the oper-
ator with the handle inclined backward toward
him, then press down as a forward thrust is
given, thus throwing the heaviest dirt half way
across the room, while the Light particles are
sent whirl1ng about, covering, as they settle,
every article Of furniture.
Another wrong way to sweep q carpet Is to
move the broom forward with heavy, drawing
stroke, by which the material to be removed is
pressed into the carpet rather than worked gen.
tly along on the surface. If either Of these
wrong Why's is adopted, the broom will wear ont
the carpet more than it is worn by the occupants
of the dwelling. When a sweeper collects q
dust-pan full Of the nap Of the carpet every time
it is swept, a new one will soon be required.
The right way to sweep isto incline the handle
4 little forward, then give Light drawing stroke,
allowing the broom to hardly touch the carpet.
Not ono-half the weight OF the broom should be
allowed to press on tile carpet, as the dirt is
moved forward. Let the dirt be moved and roll
ed along very lightly. II generous supply Of
tea grounds, small bits Of wet paper, or clean
and vet sawdust can be spread over the carpet
before the sweeping is commenced, all the fine
dirt will adhere to the vet material. A little
queutly hurl it about the room as if it we're i'm
PEELED by whirlwind, and when the task is end
ed her dust-pan will contain scarcely enough to
pay for sweeping. But by using good broom,
having g long, elastic brush, and touching the
carpet very lightly, it will scarcely require the
strength of g child to sweep large parlor IN
few minutes. Scarcely one housekeeper in fifty
understands how to sweep carpet correctly

More than thirty years ago, II. Bonnell, OF
Lille, France, discovered method Of weaving
cloth out Of spun glass threads, which was
described as perfectly flexible, and applicable to
variety Of purposes, more especially the orna-
nentation Of the walls Of apartments. This
fabric, the making Of which seems to be at
present lost art, was described in the papers
Of 1887 as follows: This cloth Of glass is ex-
treme1y beautiful; and. from the manner in
which It reflects the light, it auE9aases in brill
liancy everything that has syeRFRen attempted
with silk, even when combined es1#iith gold and
silver. Some specimens Of thla new manu-
facturo have been exhibited in the passage
de ropera in Paris; and the Queen
of France was 80 much pleased with
them that she ordered golden medal to be sent
to the inventor. The following passage is ex5,
tracted from French paper: "When We figure
to ourselves an apartment decorated with cloth
of glass and resplendent with lights, we must be
convinced that it will equal in briiancy all that
ia possible for the gnation to conceive; it will
realize, in word. the wonders Of the enchanted
palaces Of the Arabian tales. Tho lights flash
ing from the polished surface of the glass, to
Which any color or shade may be given, will
make the room have the appearance OF an apart
ment of pearls, mother-of-pearl, or diamonds, or
composed of garnets, sapphires, topazes, rubies,
emeralds, amethysts, etc, or, in short, Of all
those precious stones united and combined in
Thousand ways, and formed into stars, rosettes,
bouquets, garlands, festoons: and graceful un-

asked for bow and two arrows, and having ex-
amined each with the greatest care, he took his
position. Tho eventful moment came, the peo-
Die gathered round him, and stood in profound
silence. On the opposite side Of the river his
wife stood, the central figure OF q crowd OF eager
bystanders, tears glistening on her cheeks as
she gazed alternately at her husband and child
in dumb emotion MLeod took aim; but his
breeze. This was q trial for him far harder than
death. Again he placed himself in position;
but he trenbled to such g degree that he could
not shoot, and turning to the King, who stood
near, he said in avoice scarcely articulate in it's
suppressed agony, This is hard!' But the
King relented not; SO the third time he fell into
the attitude and as he did so almost roared,
This is lard!' Then, US if all his nervousness
had escaped through the cry, he let the arrow
fly, it struck the mark. The mother seized her
child and in transport of Joy seemed to devour
it with kisses; while tho pent-up emotion of the
crowd found vent through loud cry Of wonder
and triumph, which repeated itself again and
again as the echoes rolled slowly away among
the neighboring hills. The King now approached
M'Leod, and, after confirming his pardon, in
sight, had asked two arrows7 Because re-
piled M'Leod, s1ad missed the mark, or hurt
nv wife or child, WAS determined not to miss
you.' The King grew pale, and turned away as
If undecided what to do. His better nature pre-
vailed; so he again approached M'Leod and
would receive him into his body-guard, and be
would be we'll provided for. 'NeVerr answered
the undaunted Celt after the painful proof
to which you have just put my heart, could
never love you enough to serve you faithfully
The King ID amazement cried out. Thou art q
Hardy! and as Hardy thou art, 80 Hardy thou
shalt be-" From that time n Leod went under
the appellation of Hardy, while bus descendants
we're termed the MHardy'B, Mac being the
Gaelic word for son. The date Of the above is
