pOrtionment Bill:
The strongly Democratic Legislature has un-
dertaken to smother the East Tennessee MAORI
ty in the choice of Representatives i'll Congress
by splitting that section into ribbons and at
taching to each ribbon several Middle TenneS-
see counties which were strongly rebel and are
now as strongly Democratic SO as to make each
district Democratic and throw the Hon. Horace
Maynard out Of the next House. This is a sOr-
ry business, and one which very often recois
on its contrivers. We are not surprised to see
it upheld by The World; yet, considering that
three-fourths of the new districts are to be
carved out by Republican Legislatures, this
commentator strikes us as short-sighted.

Desire of the Dying for
Rest.

La their last hours men and women
want physical rest and ease above all
else; and L have known instances in
which the replies Of persons near their
dissolution were in such sharp contrast
to inquiries made Of them IA to become
positively grotesque. I was present
when an acquaintance, having been
strnck down in the street BY falling
chimney, was carried home in dying
state. As soon as he had recovered
consciousness, his wife, half frantic
with terror, leaned over the sofa on
which he lay, aud said, ooh my dar-
ling. do you really love me?" The re.
sponse was Yes if you will pull off nv
boots" and these were his last words.

TRUE AND FALSE HEARTs.-
They dwell in every community, and
their attributes are rs visible to hu-
man eyes as the good and bad actions
Of all accountable beings are. The
false heart is as inconsistent as the
waves of an ocean, it is the abode of
human selishness where no refined
and tender feeling and sentiment
ever enters in; its passions are
strong, and its ambitions are wild.
but ever restless, changeable and
transitory. 1t cleaves to us in our
prosperity, and so long as anintimate
association with us can bring to it any
social, political or business distinc-
ton, il courts, cuTies and caioles us
into the belief that It's interest in
our welfare is as sincere and earn
est as our own. The true heart is
as Interchangeable as eternity: it
cleaves to us through every worldly
trial and misfortune; it regards our
tailings with charity and our mis-
takes with pity and forgiveness.
The Interchangeable love of such heart
is the most priceless boon in the
Heavenly dispensation of Gods
great gift 10 humanity. 1t is often
the last prop that sustains dropping
soul, that staggers under its heavy
burden Of sorrow and adversely.
No atom Of self love nor quality Of
deceit turks IN the placid bosom
where it dwells. 4 true heart is as
incapable Of a mean action as bra
Is incapable OF flying without wings.

A Sad History.
7 From The Louisville Ledger. I

From the Louisville Ledger.
Ida Jacobs was formerly beautiful wo-
man and the honored wife Of q good citizen,
who provided literally for all her wants and
gave her home of comfort and plenty
Her attractive personal appearance made
her object OF the attenti51s o T one In whose
heart scheme for her ruin had been laid,
and touch OF vanity that made her suscep.
tibIe 10 fialtery was taken advantage oil by
this individual, who had an accomplished
wife TO prepare her for the qualification Of
bis base passion. The vain aud beautiful
woman fell; her hysoand cast her off, and
after time her ssducer also discarded her
with scorn.
Ida Jacobs then commenced her rapid
descent to the bad; and now, If she is still
alive, is sunk to the lowest depths reached
by "a woman OF the town." On Sunday
last, doubtless from the effects OF her vices,
she was stricken blind and helpless with
paralysis, and wnen orr reporter heard from
her this morning was lying in wre tched
hovel in filthy alley, unconscious OF ber
position and supposed TO be dying. This is
the change wrought by vice in a few brief
years; from once bright and happy home,
and loving, doing husband, to the lowest
depth OF disgrace and misery.
At Cincinnati Ida Jocobs has a brother
living. He is gentleman OF wealh and in-
fluence and high social position, aud hi.
/ name is Harriss. He was teleyraphed for
on Sunday and urged to come and do wba,
might be done to aid his fallen sister, or a,
least aoothe her dying moments. But up ia
this morning be had mot arrived, nor had
any answer been returned By him to
the telegram, 1t is very likely that poor
Ida Jacobs, like many other untortunates,
will die alone and unmourned, with no one
even to close her eyes. Poor unfortunate!
May be, however, God will give her an In
terval Of repentance, and send an angel o.
mercy to guide her over the dark river.

There are number of gratifying eviden-

There are a number of gratifying eviden-
ces that our ocean carrying commerce. Is
about to experience a substantial revival,
notably In Asiatic and Pacific waters. The
development of our commercial facilities and
relations with the Pacific coast Is naturally
giving rise to number Of new undertakings
between the ports Of that coast and China.
Japan and Australia. Nothing Is so prolific
as commerce. New lines Of railroad create
new steamship lines, aud these in turn be-
get other facilities of communication and
intercourse, until land and sea are inter-
laced with pathways for the distribution OF
the means and!stimulatiou of the 'growt bof
brotherhood of the world. In view OF the
increase OF trade thus promised 10 those
seas, aid of the consequent augmented
wealth and Importance which are likely to
accrue, IL would seem wise on our part not
to neglect. nor even to defer, the cultivation
and development of the incipient commerce
now existing between this country and the
islands of the South Pacific ocean. Many
of these lie almost ditectly in the line Of
traffic between our Western ports and the
countries Of Asia aud Australia. Sooner or
later they are bound to become the homes

nation which is now the first to plant the
germs Of commercial intercourse with them,
