A wild man, said to be enti!ely
covered with hair, and as untah ned
and feet as a buck is occasionally
seen in the vincinity of San Pfdr0
Bay, Fla. He feeds on berries, b9t as
soon as he becomes aware of the FIRES
elrce of any of his own species he kuns
into the swamps. He is suppose4 to
have deserted from the army during
the war, and the fear of caLture
seems to be the governing princiHe of
his wild life.

A REMARKABLE VoYAGE.-An in
trepid landsman named Alexander
Goodenough, a practical machinist of
ingenious turn of mind, but with no
knowledge of navigation, astonished
the people of San Francisco, og the
28th of June, by sailing in their porty
after an ocean voyage of eight hun
dred miles consuming twenty two
days, in nondescrip5 of naval arch
itecture in the shape of a cigar shaped
boat, twenty-five feet long by three
and one-half feet wide ia the centre.
Goodenough made this voyage from
Puget Sound to San Francisco in
search of employment, he being un-
able to pay his passage to the latter
place. The craft was an old useless
hull which had been given away by
the owner; and after arranging mast,
mainsail, topsail, and jib-the sail be-
ing composed of bed ticking-and
providing himself with twenty -one
gallons of water, some ship-bread,
canned fruits and blankets, Good
enough set out on his perilous voyage,
cramped for room, but strong in spirit.
Curious to relate, in the long trip his
little craft never shipped q sea, al
though rough weather at times pre-
vailed, and the only occasion when he
felt any alarm was once when his boat
was surrounded by school of whales.
The boat was put on exhibition in San
Francisco.

In Japan the marriage ceremdny is

Personal.

Colonel John B. Brownlow returned yester-
day from Washington City, looking as though
fashionable life at the capital had agreed with
him.
Col NJ F. Johnson, Chairman Of the Monroe
County Court called in to see us yesterday. He
has lately been over good part of his county
from Tellico Plains to Sweetwater and he gives
an encouraging account of the crops. Wheat
looks splendid Corn is being widely and well
planted and fruit promises an abundant yield.
Hon. W. g. Brownlow, United States Sena-
tor from Tennessee accompanied by his private
secretary, Col. John BrOwnlOw, returned to his
home yesterday.
Finding that all the business in which Ten
nessee was particularly interested had been be-
fore the Senate and favoraby acted upon, he
anticipated the hot weather by return home.
The Senator has never before lost day in the
Senate, but has vigilantly guarded his States
interests and now comes only because he feels
his personal attention is not particularly re-
0uirad. The Senate will adjourn probably ear
~ in June.
His report from the political center is very
cheering. He SAYS no one there doubts Grants
reelection. The general belief is that the Gin
cinnati Convention will nominate candidates, to
be followed speedily by nominees from the
regular democratic party. The leaders of the
latter expect this result. The contest will then
be between Grant and Democracy with no
doubt as to the result.
His many personal and political friends in
tennessee. and especially in East Tennessee
will be glad to learn that his health is good and
his faith in the good cause 80 strong.

The great reader, delineator and balladist, will
make his first appearance before Knoxville
audience, at HoXsies Hall, tomorrow evening.
From the many fattering encOniums of high
toned journals, and the very complimentary
private testimonials of eminent professors, we
infer that Professor Bonham is the most
remarkable and versatile entertainer now
upon the American rostrum that his en-
tertainments are chaste, elegant, instructive
and announcing that he will demonstrate that
there is as much eoquence in song as in recita-
ton; that his entertainments educate and ele-
waite, morally and intellectually, the masses,
and we sincerely trust that the citizens of the
cultivated city of Knoxville will not be behind
other towns and cities in giving the gentleman
fair hearing.
We have seen the most favorable notices of
Professor Bonham entertainments in the South
ern papers, as we'll as unsolicited letters from
editors and prominent gentlemen who all pro-
nounce him to be the best delineator of charac-
ter now travelling.

thousand appropriation for our Custom House
had passed the Senate. 1t was true at that time
On Thursday motion was made in the Senate
to reconsider the portion of the bill in which
the appropriation was included-not out of any
objection to the Knoxville appropriation but
from objection to other features of the bill.
The appropriation Will unquestionably be made
but it may be delayed few days
It is probable that such of the hands as can
not or are not willing to work on and wait for
the appropriation to pass, will temporarily cease
work The delay will beOnly partial and for
