FASHIONABLE LIFE.-If there is
any environment which can degrade
a human being or harden a young
heart, it is the atmosphere of merely
fashionable life. You may take the
tenderest and most beautiful and
lovely girl, the one that is kindest
at home, and loves her father and
mother best, and put her into the
highest circles of fashionable life,
with plenty of money and plenty of
scope to do as she pleases let her
dress herself as she will cover her
self with diamonds and pearls, costly
silks and laces; let the love of ad
miratien become the controlling
passion; and by and by, all the ten
derness of that young creature pass
es away her thoughts concentrate
upon herself what figure she is cut
ting, who her admirers are, what
conquests she can make; and by
and by the youthful, beautiful mod
esty is gone, and the way is open
| for vice that in the beginning would
not have been dreamed of, or If
thought Of, put away as utterly I'M
possible.

THE KINGSTON DIFFICULTY.
Additional Particulars of the Affair.

From gentleman who was in Kingston at
the time, we learn the following particulars
concerning the difficulty that occurred last
Wednesday afternoon between Lud Washam
and John Roe
1t seems that for some time past there had
been unfriendly feelings between the parties,
which eliminated, at the time named, by Roe
going down TO Betterton's establishment, where
Washam was employed, and with pistol in
hand telling him he had come to settle the old
grudge. Washam was ready for the settle
ment," it seemed, and drew a repeater and fred
at his assailant, the ball passing through the
front of Roe's clothing grazing his breast. Roe
then commenced firing and at the first shot
wounded Washam in the arm, breaking the
small bone below the elbow. Both parties kept
firing and W. was again hit, the ball striking
him at the base of the skull back of the neck.
passing through above the roofof his mouth and
lodged under his left eye. Roe was also wound
ed by ball from Washam's pistol, which pass
ed through the feshy part of one of his thighs
and lodged in his pantaloons.
AT this juncture of affairs the combatants
were separated and an end put to the melee.
Both parties are young men and are married.
The wounds are rather painful but are not con-
sedered dangerous They were doing well on
the day when our informant left.

That the future of Knoxville is greatly de-
pendent upon manufactures, no one who has
given the subject any consideration will dispute.
1t is a self-evident proposition that industrial
enterprises must increase in our city, if it is to
take and maintain its position in the rank of
growing, enterprising and progressive cities A
fact so susceptible of statistical demonstration
and of such universal admission must at no dis
tant day arouse our resident capitalists to clos
er investigation of the situation, to more vigor-
Gus action, and to the necessity of greater d.
versity of industries for the employment of
skilled laborers.
The Lynchburg TirginiQn applies this idea to
that place, and it applies with equal force to
Knoxville. Every year, as facilities for trans
portation are extended and increased, the area
of the districts which look to this city for sup
plies may be extended and the sale of manufac-
tured goods increased, and in this way, with
full appreciation OF the value of manufacturing
enterprises, their number should be certain to
increase until Knoxville becomes master of the
situation and reaps the lions share of the bene-
fits. @ .rr
1t has been said that Lynchburg is as large as
tobacco can make her. and hence her citizens
are alive to the Importance of manufactures,
which is not only the great desideratum of Ten
nessee and Virginia, but indeed of the whole
South,
