SUGGESTION TO NERVOUS PEorLE.-
During severe thunder-shower in
Hampton, \. H., on Friday afternoon,
twelve posts on which telegraph wires
were supported were shattered by the
electricity, and during a shower short
time previous eight posts in Wenham
were destroyed in similar manner,
owing, probably, to the wires being
overcharged. These facts should eau
ton parties who have telegraph wires
attached to their chimneys or the roofs
of their houses, as the same force which
would destroy post might seriously
damage house. The conclusion isce
tain that telegraph wires passing through
towns should not be attached to the
roofs of houses, as is frequently the case.

The Mental Photograph of the 'sGreat

From that repertory Of good things,
Frank Leslie'S Illustrated, We take the fol-
lowing cap tai hard hit. For wit and sar-
casm, we have met nothing to equal it
since the campaign commenced. 1t is true
to nature aud such nature! Well said

pie that chCrs.s an ape for its God" He
spoke of African savages-but we boast
ourselves the flower of civilization. We

The terrible truth of the portrait is only

U. S. GRANTS MENTAL PHOTOGRAPH.
Some one has invented a new style of
Photographic album, in which not merely
are portraits of individuals displayed, bat
accompanying each is series of printed
questions, the answers to which are written
out by the original of the picture, the cross
examination being so comprehensive and
searching, that when the responses are
given truthfully and candidly, they give as
accurate a representation Of the character
of the person as the camera has given of
of his features. A few of these mental
photograph albums have found their way
to Long Branch; and correspondent at
that place sends us a Leaf, which he says he
has distracted from one of them, and
which seems to be the mental autophOtO-
graph of our gifted President. 1t runs

PoRTRAITURE BY CHARLES REYNOLDS.
Thsre are now in this city two pictures
ofconsiderabls merit painted by Mr.. Charles
Reynolds, formerly of this city, but now
resident of your city, and no,o journey
man timer, but at the same time he is
studiously (the spare time excepted from
his tin-bench), laboring to perfect himself
in his fascinating profession. By nature, he
isundou5tedly an artist, and possessed of all
the faculties necessary to make him a genius
in bis new line. In his portraits, we find
his drawing unquestionably correc., his col
oring perfectly life-ike. What is more scedi-
bic to him, is that his pictures are never
e attering, as it is too often the. case with
the artists of the present day. His pictures
are unmistakably correct likenessess. We
predict much success for Mr.. Reynolds, and
count those fortunate who have pictures
from his brush. Tom THUMB, JR.

THE ''Babes in the Wood" have turned
up at Hillsdale, n. Y. Three children,
aged four, six and eight, of John Foley, re-
siding in the mountains, strayed off after
huckleberries. The mother missed them
and blew the dinner-horn for the circuit of
a mile around the house, in hopes of at
tracing their attention, but in vain. Night
came on with heavy rain, and put an end
10 the search. The next morning the vii
lage of Green River was aroused, and the
people scattered in different directions in
the mountains. About three o'clock in
the day the children we're discov-
cred .huddled together under a tree, and
covered with leaves. They put out their
hands and began to cry as soon as found.
The scene when they arrived at their
mountain home was very affecting. The
mother ran to meet them, screaming and
crying, and catching first one in her arms
and hugging that for moment, then let
ting it down and taking another one and
pressing that to her heart, and so on for
nearly an hour before she became Gained.
By this time all the hunters had returned
from the search, and they, too, had to kiss
aud hold the children, and uubidden tears
came to the eyes of great stalwart men who
had never known tears since their child
hood.

railroad, for Denver City, Colorado. The
party is under charge of J. F. Thompson,

The Wholesale Liquor Trade of NASH
villa.


Being port of entry, and possessing all
the facilities of direct importation from
abroad, and being the centre of a district
in which there are the largest distilleries of
the most celebrated, because the most su-
perior domesti liquors, Nashville has gained
a reputation and trade in this line eX-
celled by few interior cities on the CONT
nent. AS an illustration of this we refer
with pleasure to the house of Cheatham 81
Kinney, the growth of which in the last five
years has given it mammoth proportions.
Eaving now three contiguous stores,
each three stories in height, besides
cellar rooms, and all full, their stock
is the largest and best ever exhibited
in this market. 1t embraces between
two and three thousand barrels of the
choice brands of domestic and imported
wines and liquors, including any that can
be desired, either for trade or private use.
A turn through this truly mammoth estab-
ment shows in wholesale quantities, all the
excellent domestic products; Robertson,
Davidson, Lincoln and Bourbon whiskies,
apple and peach brandies, and imported
French brandies, rum, and every variety OF
wines, domestic and foreign. There is no
article in this department OF trade that
these gentlemen cannot supply-the most
cherished sparkling wines, native and for
eign, the lightest and most delicate sill
wines, for social, table or medical purposes,
and all the stronger stimulants Of every
name and degree.
By energy, enterprise aud persistent pur-
pose to compete with the best houses in
any part of the country, Messrs. Cheat
ham & Kinney have established tIade
that iustides the constant carrying Of more
than one hundred Thousand dollars stock.
They have the largest stock ever in one
house in Nashville, or probably in the
Southern country, and will keep up the
standard to supply any and every demand
in their line, and at the best rates TO Gus
