Tie Est Tenn. District.

There are several new aspirants
for the nomination for Congress, in
the 1st District. and a convention
becomes more and more a necessity.
Ia Sullivan alone, there seems little
probability of an adjustment Of the
field, as between Messrs. Haynes and
Mcclellan, and already a third aspi-
rant can be heard of. In Hawkins,
we hear Of candidate, and in Carter
we hear Of another. In the absence
Of proper action on the part of the
State Executive Committe, we recon-
mend that the people of Sullivan,
meet at Blountville on next Court
day, and elect delegates to COnven-
ton to be held at Grecnville, on the
End of August, TO nominate a man
capable of redeeming the character
of the District.

Something Alarming.

We have something from the Boston
Gi6Je of rather stunning character.
That paper has telegram from Phil
adelphia expressing doubt whether
BUTLER will support WILSON. He
kdpt away from the Philadelphia
Convention, that he might not be
bound by its action, and a ticket
which has the names of both GRANT
and WILSON may be more than his
deglutition is equal to.
This raises an apprehension that
he meditates joining the GREELEY
host. Well, hesstakes us at a disad-
vantage. We do not read that the
Apostles, when they cast their nets
and drew in such multitudes that two
ships were loaded at single draft,
rejected any; and as We set out in the

THE harrisburg Gazette, asks
where the brandy is obtained with
which to make brandy peaches, and
suggests that it has been used to en-
balm the dead. Mr.. Fry is mista-
ken. 1t is obtained by disembalm-
ing the living. The manufacturers
just take a regular old topper and tap
him about the abdominal region, and
it is caught in vessels, much like
the sugar water from the maple and
gum from the rubber tree.

Romoseen House, Bachelor, Buff
faIo, ssTke Vermont Ranch," NIe~
rino Sheep, and the Rocky Moun-
tainS.

Editor Rutland Herald If cat falls
from any place it is sure to strike right
rside up and square on its feet. If Yer
monter has the enterprise to move in a
larger sphere, and strikes out for some
other field, first you know you will hear
of him right sideup and in the right place.
I have been led to these remarks by
an editorial l notice in the Greeley I';:t-
bat7ae, of Colorado, of December the Goth.
Most of your readers know Mr.. VIM. N.
Bachelor, the popular host of the Bonn
oseen House in Castleton. He left Cas-
tleton last fall, to settle .sonasaOhere, and
engage in his favorite occupation of
sheep husbandry. He has travelled all
through the West, and as far as CalifOr-
MIA even, and has now settled at Spring
Canyon, Fort Collins, Colorado, and has
in full blast 1.-THE Vermont Ranch. /"
The Greeley Tribune of the above date
says he arrived there last week with 400
full blood Merino ewes, rs full blood
Merino bucks from D. Kelley's flock,
Wheadon, H. and 25 full blood Merino
bucks from Michigan and Vermont. If
I mistake not, the Mr.. Kelley referred
to is a son of the late Daniel Kelley of
this town, who it is known has one of
the best flocks in Illinois.
Mr.. Bachelor is one of the most tho
rough sheep breeders in the country,
and will build up and maintain in Colo
RADIO the reputation of Vermont for the
most valuable sheep in the Union. Those
of your readers who may be interested
in wool growing, have knowledge of the
great reputation of Australian WOOL
in the markets of the world. | came
across an article the other day, giving
information which had never seen be-
fore, how this particular class of wool
were English, Leicester, Cotswold, etc.
These ewes were bred to pure Spanish
Merino bucks, and abe cross produced
the famed Australian wool" Here is
a hint for our wool growers, showing
how to improve the few good English
sheep we have among US. We can read
lily see that the fleece of the Merino,
adding fineness strength and weight to
Cotswold, would make one of the most
desirable woods in market | think if
our friend Bachelor should hang ont his
sign at the base of the Rocky Noun
tains, and invite Vermonters to come
out and take turn at the buffalo, ante
lope and Indians, he would soon get such
crowd around him as he often had
when he presided over the Bomoseen
House.
Mr.. Editor, you are one among the
thousands who have enjoyed the good
cheer of our friend B., in Castleton !;
what do you say to buffalo hunt on the
plains, with The Vermont Ranch" for
headquarters?

The Organ Blower.

Devoutest of my Sunday friends,
The patient organ-blower bends;
/ see his figure sink and rise,
Forgive me, Heaven, my wandering eyesn
His head above the scanty screen.
Still measuring out his deep salarns
Through quayering hymns and painting
psalms.
No priest that prays in gilded stole,
To save rich mans mortgaged soul;
No sister, fresh from holy VOWS
So humbly stoops, so meekly bows;
His large obeiSance puts to shame
The proudest genufiecting dame,
Whose Easter bonnet low descends
With all the grace devotion lends.
o brother with the supple spine,
How much we owe those bows of thine!
Without thine arm to lend the breeze,
How vain the finger on the Reysi
Though all unmatched the players skill,
Those thousand throats were dumb and
still.
Another's art may shape the tone,
The breath that fills 1t Is thine own.
Six days the silent Memnon waits
Behind his temples folded gates;
But when the seventh days sunshine falls,
Through rainbowed windows on the walls,
He breathes, he sighs, he shouts, he fills
The quivering air with rapturous thrills
The roof reSounds, the pillars shake,
And all the slumbering echoes wake
The preacher from the Bible-text
With weary words my soul has yexed;
Some stranger, fumbling far astray
To find the lesson for the day;l
He tells US truths too plainly true,
And reads the service all askew,-
Why-why the-mischief-can' he look
Beforehand in the service book?
But thou, with decent mien and face,
Art always ready in thy place;
Thy strenuous blast, whate'er the tune
AS steady as the strong monsoon;
Thy only dread q leathery creak~
Or small residual extra squeak
To send along the shadowy aisfes
A sunlit wave of dimpled smiles.
Not all the preaching, o, my friend,
Comes from the church's pulpit endi
NOt all that bend the knee and bow
Yield service half so true as thou!
One simple task performed Alright,
With slender skill, but all thy might,
Where honest labor does its best,
And leaves the player all the rest.
This many diapasoned maze,
Through which the breath of being strays,
Whose music makes our earth divine,
Has work for mortal hands like mine.
My duty lies before me. Lo,
The lever there Take hold and blow!
And He whose hand is on the keys
VIII play the tune as He shall please
