4 Treasure Store House.

A New York correspondent describes the
interior workings of the United States
sub-treasury in that city. He tells that
every day the gold received at the
custom-house for duties is wheeled
to the treasury in q common hand
cart. The distance is about 500 feet, and
theamount averages $500, 600. The way they
handle specie in this institution certainly
strikes q stranger as free and easy in the
extreme. The bags, containing $1,000
apiece, are tossed to and fro as though they
held gravel or brickbats, and clerks count
up $1,000, as easily and rapidly as re-
taller counts up his dimes and pennies
The safe is large room, say twenty feet
square and about fifteen feet high, with
tiers of iron doors about three feet in length,
ranging one above the other. These are
full of bags containing specie, and at set
times they are counted, the surveyor of the
port being present on such occasions. There
are about $50, 100000 of gold and green
burglar-proof the space next to the street
sand in number. Now, if a burglar
should get t hreqg FISH, the satsSf e rs % W88Hd
roll out upon him and sufficiently en-
barrass his progress. The treasury con-
tains number of experts in detecting base
coin. You may place a counterfeit gold
piece, in heap of similar coin, and the
clerk will close his eyes and pick out the
counterfeit by sense of touch. This man
can not tell how he distinguishes the good
from the bad. The faculty is INDISPENSABLE.

Gambling I'm EurOpe,

Moncure d. Conway, writing from the
French watering place Trouville, says OF
the gambling: '"Fhe gambling in the
salon has at length become quite as public
as that of Homburg and Wiesbaden. AT
the public table the game is ecarte. A list
of players is made out beforehand. and
wlieuf.xsE 0EIe OF tho=s uoToaIoo ne rises
from the table and his place is taken by the
next on the list. A functiOnary invites
the crowd in the room to lay their stakes,
and the bank notes are handed up freely
from every part of the room. The stakes
are held in view on the table. Each play
er has an appointed counsellor at his side.
The losers are not SO quiet and phlegmatic
as at the German baths, but the murmurs,
complaint and 'sacres' are sufficiently loud
to convince one that, in this public gam
bling business, this country invites a
worse aff1iction than would be that general
swarm of vipers which M. Toussenel ex-
poets some day to overrun France"

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. IA.
Hon. Horace Maynard opened the can
vass in great speech. He said little
about himself but acknowledged that he
was the advocate and defender of the Re-
publican party. He made a defence of its
principles and met the charges against il
in one of the ablest efforts of his life.
Gen. Cheatham followed. speaking ten
minutes in a low but. distinct voice, and
with no effort at defamation. The whole
of his speech was q few common place
sentences, announcing himself. He pre-
scented fine appearance, and feeling OF
regret prevailed that he could say moth
ing.
Mr.. johnson was fully at himself lie
repeated his former speeches, and did It
well. He seems to concentrate bis ener-
gies more particularly against the reoeI
Democracy that oppose him. The Re
publicans are fully satisfied.

TIRED MOTHERS.

| A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tirei knee that has so much to bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From unoerneath thatch of tangled hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Ut warm, moist fingers, folding yours SO tight
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessednessl A year ago
j did not see it as do to-day r...l .,-..e
We are so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sushine till it slips away.
Al Ana now seems surprising strange to me,
That, while l wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft, and tenderly,
Tho little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night, when you sit down TO rest
on miss this elbow from your tired knee;
This restless, curling head, from off your breast
This isping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had slip
ped, @
And meier would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped
could not blame you for your heartache then
wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown
Orthat the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket. on my chamber floor
If could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once more;
If could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite, to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more bis.fully content than l.
But all the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown;
The little boy used to kiss is dead

Presbyterian IChurchi Meeting-Reminis-
cences of an old Citizen
New MARKET, Tenn,
September Is, 1872.
Our usually quiet village has appeared
quite lively for few days. The monotony
has been broken by the meeting of the
"Presbytery of Union" of the Presbyterian
Church North.
We have in our midst partaking of the
hospitality of the citizens some ten or
twelve ministers and about the same num-
Der of ruling elders. representing about
eighteen or twenty churches. Among
other delegates we noticed the arrival to-
day of Rev. z. M. Bartlett, of Maryville
College, Rev. Messrs. Aiken and n. Bach
man, of your city ; also Mr.. +. +. Atwell,
of the house of z. Dickinson d Co. Mr..
AtweIl comes as delegate from the first
church of Knoxville. Mr.. Atweli was
once a citizen of our village and Professor
in the Holston College. We were pleased
to see him once more on our streets, his
face looking quite familiar, although We
had not seen him or-well We will not
say how many years, as we learn Mr.. At
well is still 'on his first legs.n
Rev. L. r. James, of Syracuse, New
York, who has been laboring for near one
year in this church and the Strawberry
Plains church, to-day attached himself to
the Presbytery of Union. He has purchas-
ed property in our our village and located.
AS to general business we can only say
dull very little wheat or other produce
selling, as the prices offered are far below
the views of producers. III. Il. ID.

1t is fact generally known that Thos. G.

Fall Fashions,

rte ftts1Tian editor Of sLv C'i.~i.-as,ti
Times md Chronicle tells what viii be the
styles for the season:
Sacques and mantles will be largely worn
this fall. French walking sacques, COM
ing in green, blue, black, slate color, ETC.,
and termed the " Broadway" will be very
fashionable. One of worsted material, in
imitation of feathers, looks very pretty, as
does also a beautiful French "Talma,"
braided in two colors and fringes made to
match, and light stain color trimmed
with material of the same. Velvet polo
naise, deliberately trimmed with guipure
lace, in part crocheted in bugle gimp, fit
the form neatly and to any figure will
prove becoming.
Opera wraps of various colors, of worsted
and silk, made in "Talma" shape, with a
hood, will find favor in the eyes of many
young ladies, and are greatly to be ad-
mired.
Handsome seal-skin sacques, with muffs
and boas, present a CHEEKY and graceful
appearance. They range in price from $50
to 500.
In children's fashions the designs are
almost innumerable, and are as practical
as they are pretty. Polonaises take the
lead both for indoor and outdoor costumes
of girls and misses. Especially pretty for
home dresses in soft materials is the plait
ed polonase, which is half-loose blouse
with box plaits laid in the back and bands
in front arranged to simulate them. In
the Lolita" the side forms are continued
so as to form long sashes, which are to be
tied and the "Flora F" has basques, which
are continued and form sashes in the back.
But basques, which are again very fash
ionable for misses, and polonaises are al
most invariably fastened in the back.
This is much more youthful looking and
becoming. One of the prettiest basques is
called the Florette, and has round
ed tabs in the back and a pointed vest in
front.
