How TO. UNITE THE ENDS OF LEAD PRE.-Whatever the size of the pipe may be, procure a block of hard wood, say four or five inches long, and four inches in diameter; bore hole straight through the centre, so nearly the size of the pipe that the block can be driven on the end of the pipe with light hammer. If one has set of auger bits, it will not be difficult to select bit of the proper size to make water-tight fit. Let the block be driven clear on the pipe, so that the end of the pipe will be flush or even with the end of the block. Now place the two ends of the pipe together, and drive the block off one pipe on the other, until the joint will be at. the middle of the block, If the hole in the block is made of the proper size, the block will fit so closely that the joint will be water tight :; and, if the ends of the pipe are dressed of true and square, the joint will be so strong that it will sustain the pressure of head or column of water one hundred feet high. Iron pipe may be united in the same manner. Should the joint leak trife, let shingle-nails be driven into the wood around the pipe so as to press the timber firmly all around the pipe. This mode of joining pipe will be found very convenient.

The Holly Tree Inn. Boston.

The successful attempt made some time ago in Boston to establish restau- rant where the working classes, male and female, could obtain substantial meal at first cost, has led to imitation in other cities. 2 t..s5-. ~.-.'
 We now have in the many Holly Tree Inns temperance power of vast impor- tance, To Boston belongs the credit of inaugurating the movement As 8. rule, Inns are located in district swarming with grog-shops, thus giving the idea the best practical test. With accomodations for males and females with excellent edibles, tea, cofe, chocolate and milk with enticing reading-rooms and stated musical and literary exercises, the pio- neer institution has become justly popular. ! ..[ 4 .tt3 < "
 The name was borrowed from Charles Dickens, for these resorts were just what he would most enjoy. His portrait, too, hangs in every place bearing this invi- ting name. Whoever has known the pleasant cafes and inns of the continent of. Europe, will at once understand how our people will appreciate similar privil- eges. Many men drank whiskey because they were cold, and whiskey was all ready for ten cents in the corner store. Now, when they find coffee all ready for five cents, and the reading of the morn ing paper thrown in, as it usually is, they of course patronize the place where they get the most for their money.
 When the first Holly Tree took root, working women stopped at half-past six o'clock in the morning to,take breakfast there now and then they would come for dinner. At last they found too many men were crowding in it was not pleasant. for, them; and there was no way but to set up a second establish ment. Here the result was the same; so with the third and fourth. The neigh borhoods in which these places are loca- ted gain rapidly in responsibility. Drink ing-shops have been closed in their vic- inity writs have been served in other low places. Individuals who were slow ly going down-hill have taken new start upward, and wives and children wear better clothes than formerly, and sometimes go to the play in the evening with the father, and oftener to church on Sunday.

Forbidden Marital Relations.

j. p. Bell, respectable looking white
man, and Mary A. Bell, woman with dis
tinct negro features and weighty form, were
yesterday arraigned before Justice Baskette,
on the charge of living together as man and
wife, contrary TO the law forbiding that re-
lation between the races. In supposed JUS
tifcation of his conduct, Bell produced
marriage certificate obtained in Alcnrn
county, Mississippi, on the 4th of July, 1872,
and the statement of Rev. John Mash, by
whom the marriage service was perfor med.
1t appeared that before their marriage,
the parties arrested lived here, and
went to Mississippi and got mar
ried, returned, and were living together
in South Nashville at the time of their ar
rest. Justice Bsskette held Bell in bond
of 81 900 for appearance at the Criminal
Court, failing to give which, the accused
was committed to Jail. The woman gave
bond in $500 for her appearance, and then
went to work to get her husband CD out
of jail, and probably has or will soon sue
coed in accomplishing that purpose. Aloth-
er case of similar character, with the DIFF
ference that the husband was a negro and
the wife a white woman, was also
heard yesterday by Justice Baskette.
Jesse Pointer was the name Of the man
and Martha Bascom the name of the wo-
man. They were regularly married in this
county some months ago, Pointer having
obtained the license by representing that the
woman, like himself, was colored. Pointer
was sent to j, il in defiant of security IN $500
for his appearance at the Criminal Court,
and Martha Basoom, who is the mother of
several children, was released on her own
promise for appearance.

Legality of Direct Tax Sales.

In the Memphis Acdlanehe of recent
date we find the following:
at is stated that shortly before the ad-
journment of the United States Circuit
Court in June, Judge Trigg received and
read In court some memoranda from Judge
Emmons, indicating his decision in the
cases involving the legality of the sale of
property under the United States direct
tax law. He decides that such sales were
legal, which virtually settles the matter re-
CARELESS of what may be the decision of the
State Supreme Court, where several cases
of the same nature are now pending, unless
an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States. The decision of the
Circuit Court as it Low stands will destroy
the hopes of many persons in this section
whose lands were sold under the direct tax
law"
We have been informed by His Honor,
Judge Trigg, that the above is correct.

Candidates Yerx Active.

The candidates for various county offices,
as well as their friends have for weeks past
been making very vigorous campaign
among the people. The election now but
a week, and half of, is awaited with
anxious Impotence as the only event that
can fully and ultimately determine ques-
tons relating to who is the strongest man,
etc. The discussion of these questions, and
talk as to the merits of the candidates to
whom they relate, at present form the
main themes of general conversations. Ex-
cept in active business circles, but little. is
said on other subjects-the election of
county officers seeming to be the allen
crossing theme. The subject gives rise to
wide conflict of opinion, and some instan-
ces to harsh criticism, if not unwarranted
assertions. While the weather remains at
its present temperature, it would be well
for candidates and their adheients to un-
derstand the Importance of keeping as cool
as DOSsiba rl.
