Charles WardhOff, former managing ed
itor of the New York Post, has been max
ing tour over the Pacific Road. He
stopped day at Chicago and writes to
Horpcrs' Magazine for May the following
interesting facts about its stock yard:
This city of the beasts has streets, sew
ers, drains it has water laid on; it is
lighted with gas; it has bank, an eX-
change a telegraph-Otfice, post-office, an
admirably kept hotel; it has even news
paper-else it would not be an American
city. 1t has very comfortable accOmoda-
tions for lis, $50 residents-namely, 21 900
head of cattle, $1,000 hogs, $4,000 sheep,
with stalls for 800 horses. 1t contains 345
acres of land and when all this is prepar-
ed for use 2I0,000 head of cattle can be
lodged, fed, and cared for there at once,
and with the certainty that not one will
suffer or go astray.
It has thirty-five miles of sewers ten
miles of streets and alleys, all paved with
wood; three miles of water trOughs, all so
arranged that the water may be stopped
off at any point; 1900 gates, which are
800 open pens, heavily fenced in with
double plank; 100 acres are covered with
pens for cattle, and all these are floored
with three-inch plank; 500 covered sheds
for sheep and hogs; and seventeen miles
of railroad track connect this city of the

into huge. tanks fOrty-tive feet high,
whence it is distributed all over the
place in pipes. Fourteen fire

A Geological Excursion.

On the I'D instant the senior class of the East
/ Tennessee University, through the instructions
of Prof. +. II. Bradley, assembled at the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad de-
pot at P NJ, equipped with instruments nee
esSary for making geological survey and for
gathering such specimens as we might be able
to find. We were soon comfortably seated on
the train bound for Careyville. Being freed
from the responsibilities of the recitation room,
and inspired with the fond hope of soon being
| permitted to breathe the fresh air among the
| towering heights of Cumberland mountains, we
alternately united in singing some of our col
lege tayorlteS and trying our capacities at spin
nlng yarns.
We arrived at Careyvile little after seven
o'clock, and found lodging with our kind host,
Mr.. Wheeler Early the next morning We set
| out on foot for the mountains. We soon arrived
at Il deep mountain Tavine, down which was
howlng beautiful stream of crystal water, we
proceed up the stream, gathering ferns and
specimens of rock until we came to a place
called The Devils Race Path" There a
most gorgeOur scene was presented to our view;
two parallel cliffs Of rock extended about nine
hundred feet above us. only about fifty feet
apart, much resembling a strongly fortified path,
as might be inferred from the name attributed
to it.
We also visited the mines of Kennedy and
Morrow and the East Tennessee Company
which we found abOunding richly with the
vegetable deposition. Late in the evening we
visited the mines of Ault and Morgan, which
have recently been opened, and which are des-
tined to furnish large quantity of good coal.
We returned to our boarding house and rested
our weary frames in sweet repoSe from the tolls
Of our first days exploration. Early the next
morning we set out greatly refreshed by our
nights rest, for Coal Creek Here DIR. Curtis
Joined our company, and we visited the mines
OF the Coal Creek Company, the Knoxville
Iron Company and McEwen Il Wiley We
also found several rich veins of iron ore near the
coal mines which will doubtless be opened be-
fore many years and their wealth developed
Being unable to procure lodging for our com.
pany at Coal Creek, we returned to Careyville
and visited the Sulphur and Chalybeate Springs
and partook of their cleansing waters
We returned to the University on the 25th

About Chief Justice Chase.

A New York Post correspondent says:
The health of Chief Justice Chase has
improved greatly since he was in the city
of New York, year ago last January He
eats well, digests well, sleeps well, exercis-
es much and works hard. On Thursday
evening he worked until half past 10
o'clock, writing out one decision and look
ing upauthorities for another. He says that
it is seldom that he works beyond the hour
of 10 at night in his library. His old smile,
his hearty laugh and his buOyant cheer
fulness have come back to him. His gen.
eraI health is better now than it has been
at any time i'll the last three years. On
pleasant mornings he walks into the Capt.
tOl. This is his season of heavy work, as
the Supreme Court is in session.
l can not think of this great and good
man, this true Christian statesman and
jurist, who next morning, i'll the quiet of
his own house, reads from 1.-THE Book Di-
vine,H and on bended knee implores the
blessings of God upon his country and the
world, without the hope that God will give
him length of days and abundant health.

Which l rise to reply,
And my language Is cool,
That for ways that are sly
In shenanigan, Bull
Uu beat all creation, swan you ye as 5ot as
an obstinate mule.
It's no good to call names
But cOncernin this fuss
About indireck claims,
And the AP bamy musS,
There's a story Pve laid out to teli-videlict,
for instance, as thus:
Ali, Jim was his name
And his cattle and swine
Pretty frekently came
And broke over the line,
For we lived close together, though he was 4
distant relation of mine.
My house was bran new
And my garden the best
And my Shannons they grew
Like potatoes possessed,
And Jim, getting Jealous threw stones at my
hen as she sOt OH her nest
went off for a week,
When he grabbed up the AK,
And the cOwardly sneak
Give couple of whaCks,
Which he stove in my fence and my door, and
the beast fOllered in his tracks.
Those ere horned critters ct
The corn, lettis, and peas
And drove of hogs met
In the butter and cheese,
And through basement and pantry they wal
Tered in cook vittles up to their knees.
They capssed the hot stove;
The flames darted and broke
Through the ceiling above,
And-ah, Johnny, no joke
l arrove and them ruins was tullin the quietest
kind of Il smoke.
Jim-he scoOted home,
And locked himself in
To the winder he come
And remarked with a grin.
Don't be mad, for we're cousins says he,
and we ought to be CrOnies agin! "
James" said I, "prehaps
You have did rs you chose,
But you've burned up my traps,
And Pm free to suppose
If you air the person think, you will pay me
for these and those
Then calmly spoke James,
I'm sorry. And more,
| will pay direct claims
For the loss you have bore
I'll correct all the damage Eve donc-here ; a
dollar for breaking your door "
Which, you see, Imust wait
Like an owl on a limb
But I'll catch, soon or late,
That ere jOcular Jim,
And, by jingo? I'll wallop him blind and
head I'll erect on him

DECISION OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-
A dispatch from Jackson states that, in
the Supreme Court, yesterday, Early
Eason, who murdered Ed. Lisle, at a pic
mic near Memphis, about a year since, and
was sentenced to be hanged, was granted a
new trial.
Chief Justice Nicholson, who delivered
the opinion, decided that the act of the
Legislature, passed last winter, repeating
the law declaring juror incompetent who
had formed an opinion, as unc0nstitution-
al; and that, one of the jurors in this case
having stated that he had formed an Opin-
ion based on newspaper reports, but could
nevertheless render a fair and impartial
verdict, was disqualified as juror.
The decision practically debars all read
in criminal cases.-INdshUiLLe Banner.

THE CINCINNATI STEW.
Farther Complications Found.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun and Louisville Courier
Journal on the 18th sends this dispatch !:
There have been some developments
made here within day or two of political
movements which are calculated to disturb
the harmony of the Cincinnati COnven-
ton. Some of the friends of Mr.. Trumbull,
backed by the Chicago Tribune influence,
now openly declare that if Justice Davis is
nominated for President, they will refuse
to support him. They do not 90 quite so
far as to make the nomination of Mr..
Irumbull an ultimatum, but that is quite
apparent. The latter's attendance in the
radical caucus last night eXcites suspicion.
The democrats, on the other hand, are
quite unanimous in Congress against the
nomination of Charles Francis Adams,
which, it is said, is proposed by Mr.. Bel
mont on behalf of some of the New York
democracy, and endorsed by the New
York World. They say that if Adams is
nominated the National Convention of
the democracy will nominate straight
ticket andignore the Cincinnati nominees.
There seems to be more unanimity among
the democrats in Congress in favor of Davis
and Curtin than any other ticket, though
not q few favor Davis and Parker, or some
democrat for the Vice Presidency. The
friends Of Gov. Curtin have full assurances
from him in Europe that he is in harmony
with the liberal movement and will be i'll
this country the Middle Of May.
COLORED GOVERNOR ON THE SITUATION.
CINCINNATI, April 25.-In an inter
view of a Gazette reporter with Colonel W.
NJ. GrOsvenOr, of Missouri, who reached
this city yesterday, the Colonel expressed
himselfin regard to the political matters as
follows: II doubt if Mr.. Adams would be
the strongest man for the Presidency. He
would carry the Eastern States, but
wouldn't have the same strength in the
West. We count upon carrying New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New
| Hampshire, any how, but we want to car
ry Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa
and Minnesota. The candidates who could
do this are Trumbull, Gratz Brown, or per-
haps Governor Palmer We have taken
counsel with the leaders of the democratic
party, East, West and South, and they
all say, go ahead and nominate ticket,
and we will support it. This convention
is not called in the interests of any Eastern
! State, but Of the Mississippi Valley. We
propose that the Mississippi Valley shall
| have the recognition and influence which
it deserves.
