AN ACCOMPLISHED MANN one of the
Eastern counties of West Virginia, there lived
a little boy who had smart father He knew
this was rather an uncommon circumstance,
and he used sometimes to boast of it. One
day he was holding forth On this subject to a
crowd in the village store
''My father, said he, can do almost any
thing. He's notary public and he's poth-
ecary and he can pull teeth and he's a horse
doctor and he can mend chairs, and wagons
and things and he can play the fiddle and he's
a regular jackass at all trades"

Robertson COunty-COI. q. A. Wash
lDEtOn for s. enresenfRfiVh.

Capt. Boyd NJ. Cheatham and Col. w.
Il. Sadler having withdrawn from the con-
test for Representative from Robertson; the
good people Of that cotinty are to be con-
graduated most heartily on having obtained
the consent of Col. George A. Washington
to represent them in the next Legislature.
The adjustment Of some very important
questions will devolve upon the neyt Legis-
iature, and it is highly important that The
best men OF the State should be sent to that
body. The questions growing out of the
financial condition of the State will REQUIRE
Tor their proper solution the judgment and
experience Of our ablest fnanciers, among
whom Col. Washington is Justly ranked.
The honor and credit of Tennessee de-
mand that the question of providing for the
payment OF the interest on the bonded debt
OF the State (which has been reduced one
ball within the past Year, be promptly met
and disposed Of by the next Legislature.
1t was to meet this contingency, when
Messrs. Cheatham and Sadler withdrew,
Col. Washington was induced to allow his
name to be placed before the people of
Robertson as candidate. We understand
the most substantial men in the county
among them the Woodwards, Forts, Cheat
hams and Garners-without whose support
a candidate in Robertson county would
have ga hard road to travel" have declared
for Col. Washington. 1t is not likely, there
fore, that he will have opposition.

Heather Chinese Paper Painting,

Our friend r. G. Stone of the Enterprise
has received from the late United States
Consul at Jamaica, a fine specimen of paint
ing on pith painting-erroneous called
rice paper. The painting represents
woman spinning silk from the cocoon, and
the ingenuity displayed in the brilliant col
oring and the patience requisite for COM
bination of such intricate and delicate work
mauship are most remarkable and worthy of
attention. 1t is the pith of plant allied to
the ArtOcGSpuS, or bread fruit, the natural
order of whose germs is the UrLicacee, the
first named being the sub order, found in
the Bengal forests and Malabar in MANY
species, the most important of which are
the iRcjSG (true bread fruit,) and interfoLid
Gack fruit.) Several species yield valuable
timber. The pith is removed from
the plant in cy finders a foot or
even more in length, and from
two to four inches in diameter. When dry.
the cylinder is made to revolve in contact
with an exceedingly thin and sharp knife,
which cuts it into very thin sheets. These
are then smoothed with an iron and are
ready for use. This substance, whose vel
vety surface contrasts so admirably with
brilliant colors is delicate vegetable film,
consisting of long heXagonal cells,
whose length is parallel to the surface
of the film, and which are
filled with air when the film
is in its usual or normal state. The pecu-
liar softness which so we'll adapts it for re-
ceiving colOrs is owing to this structure.
The manufacture of these paintings at Can
ton employs three thousand men. Anoth- !
er tissue used by the Chinese for painting
is still more remarkable. The grape leaf is |
mascerated, by which is removed the green
fleshy part, leaving the calculated |
nerve-work. This membrane is then
dipped into solution of isinglass which, |
filing She interstices, forms very singular |
transparent surface, upon which most bril-
liant paintings are made. Mr.. Stone is a |
gentleman of rare literary culture, and has
several works of art, among them a Mag |
dalen-a perfect marvel Of genius-creation. |
While, as he never sells or deals in these |
picture, keeping them because of his true !
appreciation for the beautiful, he cannot |
with Shakespeare say "That's my pith of
business" still in that authors language |
would we exclaim he is engaged in an |
* Enterprise of great 1)ith and moment"

The Four,h at white BruG.

The Sons of Temperance celebrated the
Fourth at White Bluff by procession, bar
becue and addresses. The country adjacent
thereto was largely represented, and the
procession was large and imposing.
Headed by a band of music, the Order
marched down the principal street, and
thence out to a grove, adjoining large
spring of cool water, where seats had been
prepared suitable for the occasion. After
prayer by Rev. Thos. AckermaD, DR.. E. r.
Deason was introduced as the orator OF the
day. He spoke for upwards of an hour and
a quarter, and was listened to with marke d
attention. After his address, other speeches
were made by Judge Nixon, Rev. Mr.. Ellis
and Rev. Mr.. Alderman. The large
crowd then surrounded the well filed ia
bles and did ample justice to the barbecued
shoat, lamb, and other substantials and
delicacies prepared under the direction Of
the ladies in the vicinity. Business houses
were closed from 10 A. NJ. until 2 p. NJ,
and the whole affair passed off well, re-
fleeing credit upon all concerned.

opportunity to elevate yourselves, and learn

OF whom you have noble set. Abuse not
the kindness extended to you, but 60 on in
the faithful performance of your duties and
all will be well. Listen to the words OF
wholesome counsel from your Super
intendent, Warden and Deputy War
den. They viii inspire you with a
yearning ambition to raise yourselves high

THE SERMON.
In the morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. DIR.
Young preached sermon to the convicts
whose interest was very great throughout.
JOE WOODS,
convict, and well remembered as the prize
candy man, entertained the visitors and
amused his fellow-prisoners by playing the
guitar and singing several songs. The au-
dience was deeply affected, as was Davis
himself All were well pleased with the
days celebration. Owing to the efficiency
of Warden Brown and his assistant Mr..
Joins, good order prevailed, and every word
uttered by the speakers could be distinctly
heard.

Moore County.

From the Tullahoma Independent, July
4, we obtain I'll e following: "Moere county
was visited by terrific storm of wind, hail
and rain on the afternoon of the 26Sh ult,
which commenced at Mr.. j H. Holman's,
on the Fayetteville pike and after reaching
Jack Taylors, near Lynchburg, bore off in
a southeasterly direction, towards the farm
of Elder Tom Shaw's, where it literally des-
troyed everything. Fences were blown
down and in some places the young corn
was actually beaten into the earth by
fierce showers of hail pellets as large as
ridg eggs. The orchards suffered
1nsiderably-the ripening fruit being
pelted from the trees by the hail, and in
many instances the trees themselves were
blown to the ground by the terrific wind.
A fearful deluge of rain preceded the tenn
pest OF wind and hail, and The creeks rose
very rapidly. The damage done to the
crops and fencing was considerable, and as
the storm confined Itself to limited area
of territory, the losses fall heavily on few
persons.
