- Blood Cleanser, or Panacea.
As medicine for children, the Panaoea is
in every way, calculated to take the place of
the endless variety Of drugs which are snnu-
ally sold for that purpose, and which are Of
ten very injurious. A medicine which pos
sesses the qualities of a cathartic as well as
a mild Alternative, and which Is capable OF ar
resting disease without the least injury to the
child, is of incalculable value to every moth
er. As cathartic, 1t is very effective, yet 1t
does not, if given in proper quantities, cause
nausea or distress to the stomach or bowels.
1t is very pleasant to the taste, which ia
very important feature for a medicine for
children. As q PREVENTIVE of disease it is
unprecedented, as it acts directly upon the
digestive organs and the blood. In all
scrofulous diseases, II is the most effective
medicine ever offered to the public; and, if
given regularly and perseveringly, those
eruptive diseases SO common to children may
be entirely eradicated. ;'sa j.

An In,er,lew Win ,ne \ o,ed pnr,,..n

On yesterday Captain David Beatty, more
familiarity known Tinker Dave,' aceom-
panied by two of bis sons, Claiborne and James
Beatty, arrived in this city from Washington,
whore they had been attending the trial OF Col
VIM. B. Stokes for alleged frauds in regard to
they money pad the company Of partisans
command by Captain Beatty.
On his arrival the captnin found dispatch
awaiting him from Judge l.. &. Houk, his at
torncy in Washington city, stating that the mo-
ton in arrest of judgment had been disallow oil
byChict Justice Cartier, from which holding the
defendant appealed to the fun bench of the
supreme Court for the District of Columbia
and II was possible he might be forced TO 60
back 10 Washington.
The Captain was very retiCent in regard to
the trial, and did not feel at liberty to make any
disclosures. being personally Interested and a
witness in addition. He talked freely on other
matters no sever, ard did not seem TO be greatly
oppressed in mind, notwithstanding the uncer-
tainty now pervading the suit.
lie did not feel unkindly toward Stokes, still,
he did not think that gentleman had acted al
together right in some things;
Capt Beatty Is by no means the ferocous in
dividua in appearance that his enemies charge
he was during the war; dc is about hve feet,
eight or ten inches high, with q not unpleasant
countenance, and bears his age, hfty-four years,
well, except that his eyes are beginning to fail
him, though he cnn still hit the bulls eye with
his trusty rife three times out of five.
In appearance he resembles n good nAtured
farmer more than the leader of tho renowned
band of partisans he led through the wilds OF
Fentrcss against Champe Ferguson, Col.
Hughes and Capt Bledsoe He had frequent
" met them all, they commanding irregular
troops ia confederate service though like him,
operating as Independent scouts.
He had met Chsmpe Ferguson and fought
him as often as four times day, but did moi
have an exalted opinion of his bravery, ChsmpC
generally staying in the middle of his men "
| during fight intending doubtless to convey
the idea that he generally kept about two file:
Of his guerrillas between himself and danger
Champc Ferguson was also revengeful and did
not always troat prisoners with that chivalrou!
courtesy which characterized the chevalier Bay
ard, but his other foes he had nothing to say
| against.

divulged the matter TO Sheriff Conner, who se-
erected himself in the Jail kitchen and waited
for the visitors, who came punctually as per APP

undertaking of cutting through the wall, and
opening the Jail entrance started Tor the cells,

to his reflections while he went after some OF

One day last week q greenhorn came 10 the
Cumberland Foundry asking for employment,
having enjoyed a surfeit of leisure Not know
ing any one in the establishment, he applied to
one of the workmcn, a misehieyous fellow, who
kecnly rclishes joke, and he sent him to q fell
low workman, who sent him to another and so
in turn to all, until the chap had made the cir
cult of all hands.
BY this time he was rather iratc, and seeing

could come around next day and go to cutting

for blasting, thinking to get rid of him: But
not so. Greeney took him at his word and
was on. hand early the next day He did
not continue long, however, for the men were
rather pointed in their jocular illusions toward
him, and before dinner he left madden than be-

As he did not return for several days, the cir
cumstance was almost forgotten when day or

The Knoxville Jail.

Some one-doubtless emulous of acquiring in
feeble way the reputation of Howard, the
great English philanthropist whose exertions
in amelicrating the condition of the inmates of
the prisons in Great Britain, have shed lustre
around his name that will not be din,med while
time lasts or criminals continue to be confined
reported the condition of the Jail in this city as
being disgrace to civilization. The complaint
was made to the Grand Jury of the United
States Court, and that body at once investigat-
ed the matter, as it was stated the prisoners
were badly fed and covered with vermin.
One of the prisoners, w l.. Brooks, who has
been confined here twenty-five months, for the
killing of Capt. Ragle, stated that the prisoners
were well treated and were always furnished
with food in abundance He had spent some
time in other jails and his experience was that
for comfort and kind treatment on the part OF
those having charge of the prisoners, the Knox
county Jail was decidedly the best managed
Brooks speaks from the card, having passed
several years of his life behind the bars.
Such efforts to bring reproach on the efficient
sheriff, Mr.. Gossett, will prove as futile in the
future as they have in the past. "a e
