Interesting temperance Ceremonies.


The new hall of the Hope and Hickman
Lodges of Good Templars, over the Fourth
National Bank on College street, was dedi-
Gated last evening with appropriate cere-
monies. There was large attendance of
delegates from other Lodges, in regalis.
The general scene was brilliant. The
opening exercises consisted of music, by
the Sparkling Water and st. Joseph's
Bands, which was followed by prayer, by
the Rev. DIR. Sawrie. The choir
of one of the Lodges sang "Bonnie
Doom" with fine effect. The dedication
ceremonies consisted of reading from
manual on the subject by VIM. Dunstead,
G. W. G. T.; Miss Eliza Allen, w. V. T.;
Rev. Mr.. COIN, w. c.; and J. H. Roberts,
W. G. T., and sprinkling water on the floor.
After an ode by the choir an address was
delivered by Rev. DR.. A. L. P. Green. His
last drink was taken in 1927! He had
found, by critical observation, that those
persons, members of the church, who would
not join a temperance society, declining to
do it because they were members of the
church and that was enough, generally
were inclined to tipple. The ceremonies
concluded with the doxology and benedic-
ton. The following are the names of the
officers of the lodges which will occupy the
new hall:

RETRosPECTIvE.


Fifty years ago Andrew Anderson came
to this part of Tennessee from Kentucky,
and established himself as a brass founder.
His brother was associated with him, and
the firm was known as that of S. S. Ander-
son & Co. They subsequently erected an
iron foundry on College or Rolling Mill
Hill, which was succeeded by the existing
establishment on Cherry street. The bust
ness Of the latter eventually was conducted
under the name Of Andrew Anderson. 1t
is now conducted by j. B. Romans.
A NOVELTY FOR THE EXPOSITION.
Mr. r. is constructing a hundred horse
power engine, with Freyer's connection;
for the Exposition. The advantage ofthis
improvement is that the same power is OBJ
tanned as if the engine was more costly.
INCREASED SOUTHERN PATRONAGE.
The demand for Nashville made engines
is increasing. Southern patronage is large.
1t has been discovered that those manufac-
tured Nsrth frequently lack solidity and
are unsatisfactory.

THE DINNER HORN.
BY COUSIN CYNTHIA.

0, the sailor loves the sounding sea,
And the winds that wildly blow
And the brd-songs in the greenwood tree
The poet loves, l know.
For me, love the song to hear
OF the lark at the early morn;
But the sweetet sound to the farmers car
Is the song of the Dinner Horn!
A battle march to the soldier free
Or the call of the trumnet clear;
And the rapid tramp of cavalry
The soldier loves to hear
But sweet to the farmer, wearied soul!
While he plows the rustling corn,
Is the sound that comes in the noontide lull-
IT'S the song of the Dinner Horn
0, the cavalier loves at the twilight hour
To hear his believe sing
And the lady loves, as she sits in her bower,
The sound Of the sweet harp's string
But, hark to those notes through the fields anc
groves,
And through the meadows borne
'Tis the song of all songs the farmer loves
Tis the song of the Dinner Horn!

WOMEN OF TAHIrI.-A traveller in Poly
nesia concludes as follows a description of the
women of Tahiti: TIE most bashful and
coy will never pass you without greeting
a glance of the eyes end slight gathering in
of her dress with her elbows, to exhibit hel
buxom figure in full perfection. Or else;
perhaps, she will come up coquettlshly and
ask you for the loan of your cigar, take
few puffs at it, and hand it back gracefully
to the rather astonished owner; and Then,
with parting compliment, which you mos'
likely don't understand, let you 60 your way
in peace-or not. The proper way to walk
with your lady-love in Tahiti is as follows
You put your arm around her neck, and she
hers around your waist and hangs on yoni
breast in happy, affectionate manner; II
is as much "se!ou les regles." as walking
arm-n-arm, and much pretter to look at

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

People who have beard enough on their
faces will remember the stampede of 1910.
1t was an episode maelstrom-in political
history which those directly interested cannot
forget, and the casual lookeron may yet
recall. With almost every State footing up
large Democratic majority at the previous
election, Harrison, the Whig nominee for
President, swept the country and was tri-
umphantly elected. 1t was a hegira IA
grand rush-men went over to the Wing
side in bands of hundreds and III armies OF
thousands 1t was a complete political revo-
luton, and astonished both the Democratic
and Whig p'rties The signs indicate that
the Presidential campaign Of 1872 will be a
repetition of that of 1910. The hegira from
the Republican ranks and the great popularity
of the Cincinnati nominees would seem TO
forshadow a defeat for the llliberal party
this year as decisive and disastrous as that
which befell the Democrats in 1910, and re-
suited in the election of "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too" Looking over the field we are
astonshed at the manifestation. Not single
Democratic State Convention except that OF
Deleware but has indorsed the Cincinnati
nominees and selected delegates to the Dem
ocratic National Convection who will act i'll
accordance with such Endorsement. The
Cincinnati nominees are indorsed and will be
supported by fully one-third of those who
have heretofore voted the regular Republican
ticket. We all Judge the world by what we
see around us-by the barometer of our
individual servation-and the rule is not a
bad one. This county gave Booth PIP
majority, and that, although by no means "a
fair test, we are willing shall be taken as the
then Republican strength in San joaquin
How stands it now? Right around us, in
this city we can count enough votes that
were cast for Booth but will now go against
Grant to throw the county for Greeley 10y
200 majority. We accept the theory that
the feeling against the ofice-holders ring is
no stronger here than elsewhere. The revo-
luton of 1910 is being re-enacted.-San
Joaquin Republican.

DAUGHTEEs OF THE Rich. No class OF
women are more to be pitt d than the daugh-

energy of character, have no vent for it, be-
cause fashion requires them to sit still and
fold their hands. We never can know how
many real heroines are behind this wall OF

bandaged its eyes into blindness to it. Gin.

A DISCOURAGED PATRIOT Ethan Allen
once passed up through the Hoosac valley
and spent the Sabbath with friend in Will
Jamestown, attending church with him and
his family The first and second presidents
of Williams College were squaretoed in THEN
orthodoxy, having far more faith in divine
wrath and justice than in his love and mercy,
and their sermons gave evidence of their
obedience to belief. On this Sabbath, the
text of the worthy President Fitch was,
"And if the righteous scarcely be saved
where shall the ungodly and the sinner ap-
pear?" Firsty-he laid down as a fact be-
yond question that not one in 1000 woulc
be saved. Secondly, thirdly to twelfthly-
he said that not one in $4,000 could bt
saved. Ethan Allen took his hat and cant
and prepared to leave. His friend sale
"Don't leave now." Seventeenthly dropped
from the Presidents lips, who said that he
had came to the conclusion that of the count
less millions of men, not more than one in
100, 900 would be saved. The old soldier
had been growing uneasy under this rapidly
sliding scale, in which the blanks so multi.
piled and the prizes faded from view. He
grasped his hat and cane, when his friend
said to him, Don't so out, now. He will
be through soon. He is now up to seven
