A Thrilling Race.

on the brow of hill, near PittsfelG, Mass,
in cutting timber and rolling it to the bot
tom, endeavorcd to mani pulate log for
a safe descent, but discovered that it was
getting the better of him. lie was on the
under side, and it wonld not do to
s.let it slide." SO he screamed for help. But
no help came. His strength was surely
and rapidly falling, and there was nothing
to debut to run fer it ;and run he'-did
"a fearful race. The natural philoso-
pliers say that a log gains in rapidity as it
descends. 1t, is otherwise with human
legs on a run even when, as in this case,
the descent is steep and icy. There was no
turning out, and the log gained with ter
rible rapidity on the frightened Canuck
and was now just onihis heel, when luck
lily he spied hollow in his path into
which he popped with bound, but had
barely time to huddle himself into his

POLITICAL NOTES

The Republicans of the Hid Senatorial
District of Massachusetts have nominated
Lewis Rice as successor to the Hon. Charles
Hale.
The Arkansas Liberal,Republican States
Central Committee have called the State
Convention to assemble in Little Rock on
June 15.
1t is commented on as significant in
dication of the ''course of empire" that
New Y York, which in 1910 had 40 Repre-
scntatives in Congress as against from
the States of Illinois and Missouri, now
has but 81 against 80 from these same
States.
The Missouri State Senate has passed
resolution that it is alike unconstitutional
and inexpedicnt to increase the present
debt by loaning the credit of the State to
any railroad or other corporation. This
defeats what is known as the lS,000,OO0
scheme. which provides for giving new
railroads $4,000 per mile for broad
gauge, and $4,000 for narrow gauge.
Mr.. Conkling's ill-breeding, says the
outspoken Springfield RcfrtLlican, iswith-
out excuse. 1t was not born in him, nor
thrust upon him by unfavorable circum-
stances be has achieved it for himself,
and more shame to him. Senator Edmunds,
on the contrary, has some excuse, although
he is zone of the most narrow-minded,
scrvile, and yet malignant men now in
public life in this country" because, among
other things, his speech against Mr. Schurz,
last week, was simply "blacking character
by insinuation.'
The Peoria Transcript, commenting on
the recent telegraphic announcement of
Gov. Palmer's adhesion to Gen. Grant
asserts that the Governor received and
carried about with him for weeks a paper
signed by the leading Liberals Of Missouri,
asking him to submit his name for the
Presidency on the Reform ticket. This
document, the Transcript alleges, Gov
Palmer held until after the Labor nomi-
nation, and then returned, because, it in
sinuatcs, he thought his chance at Cinci-
nnati diminished.

those who visit the rumseller's den:
There's my money give me drink !!

There's the education of the family and

BURY MEM THE MORNING.

1t is not often that the name of Stephen
a. Douglass is connected in our minds
with anything out side of the political
arena, but here is beautiful pocticai cf-
fusion of his which is credit alike to
heart and intellect:
Bury me in the morning, mother,
Oh. let me have the light,
OF one bright day OH my grave. mother,
Ere you leave me alone with Night.
Alone in the night of the grave, mother
Ills a thought of terrible fear;
And you will be here all alone, mother,
And stars will be shining here;
So bury me in the morning, mother,
And let ME have the light A"
OF one bright day on my grave, mother
Ere I'm alone with the night.
You tell me of Savior's love, mother,
feel il is in my heart
But oh, from this beautiful world
- mother. s--r fI.ra.. n.
Ills hard for the young to part;
For even to part when here, mother,
The soul is f;,in TO stay;
For the grave is deep and dark, mother
And Heaven seems far away
Then bury me III the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
OF one bright day on my grave, mother
q Ere I'm alone with the night.

ESBOROUGH TENNESSEE, THURSDAY MARCH 21. 1872

Intense applause. Their music is sweet
er than French operas. l would that
their mellihucus notes would titilate the
heart of this venerable judge from Ohio
until the seeds of self-condemnation
should germinate into the beautiful How-
ers of repentance, and he should offer on
his own behalf, if not on the behalf of his
client. a profound apology to the defend
ant in this case. = --4 fsr
The complainant's newspaper, the Times
has said that there is no retributiye justice
in New York. Sir, the cocoanuts of JUS
tice hang upon the trees of popular rights,
and the bananas of equity spring from the
gorgeous shrubbery of public sentiment,
which should always be respected. A
man whose heart is undefled with the
toadstools of avarice may pluck these CO.
coanuts and bananas with impunity, with
your Honor's permission Life is short,
but the thistledown of notoriety is ever
dancing above the clover heads of honest
industry and unremittant toll. Judge
Goodlet, your Honor, recognized this fact,
and hence he withdraws from this case
in lurld disgust. There is retributive
justice IN this city, especially when a man
enters the San office and calls one of its
editors liar From now and hencefor-
ward, and until the earth shall appear but
as wart upon the thigh of nature, over
bearing intruders from the land of King
George will understand that it is danger
Gus in the extreme to walk into the SIN
Office snd call one of its editors liar.
A vARIEGATED PERoRATIoN.
Your Honor, we appear before you
backed by the ehccUur dc .frisc of public
opinion and the ramparts of personal
rights. The Gatling guns of selfjustifca-
ton are double shotted, and the Chasse-
pots of intellectually are furnished with
sixty rounds of ammunition. We say
this, not to terrify your Honor, but to
enable you to render decision in this
case based on the rolling prairies of JUS
tice and the broad savannahs of rectitade
Tremendous applause.
JUDGE suANDLEY's DECISION.
Judge Shandley-In the absence of the
complainant a case of this character must
come to an end. The complainant had a
perfect right-a right which pertains 20
aliens as well as citizens-to enter this
complaint, and it was the duty of the
magistrate to entertain the complaint as
presented. At the same time, it is very
annoying and embarrassing to the defen-
dants to be called into court and 60
through an investigation of this nature.
And when the complainant, after finding
his case to be futile and frivolous, with
draws from it, he leaves the defendant in
a very satisfactory position. 1t is due to
the defendant and his counsel to say that
the defendant has been entirely exonora-
ted from any charge made against him.
The complainant has not substantiated the
charge preferred, nor has he shown that
the treatment he alleged himself to have
received was other than deserved. shall,
therefore, dismiss this case, and hOnora-
bly, discharge the defendant. Applause,
which was promptly suppressed by his
Honor
Mr.. Howe-The case is ours. and with
cut Sergeant Joness colored twins.

s Instinct or Intellect.

A remarkable story comes from Bonn
bay, which suggests the prppriety of en-
ploying monkeys as PoliceJdetectives. A
Madras man making journey took with
him some money and jewels, and pet
monkey. He was .waylaid, robbed, MUIR
dered, ana buried by party Of assassins.
The monkey witnessed the whole affair
from a tree top.and as soon as the villains
had departed be, went to the nearest police
officers station, attracted Bis attention by
sighs and groans,, and finally led him to
the grave of his master. He then enabled
the officer to recover the stolen property
from the place where it had been conceal
ed, and thenwent to the bazar and picked
out the murderers one by one, holding
them fast by the leg until seeurcd.i They
have confessed the crime. and are held for
trial.

What SiecD Will Cure.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food Not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to get.
The best rest comes from sound sleep.
OF two men or women, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irratability
of temper, peevishness, uneasiness. 1t
Will cure insanity. 1t will build up and
make strong weary body. 1t will do
much to cure dyspepsia. particularly that
variety known as nervous dyspepsia. 1t
will relieve the languor and prostration
felt by consumptives. 1t will cure hypo-
chondria. 1t will cure neuralgia. 1t will
cure broken spirit. - 1t will cure sorrow.
Indeed we might make a long list of
nervous maladies that it will cure.
The cures of sleeplessness, however, is
not SO easy, particularly in those who car
ry grave responsibilities. The habit of
sleeping we'll is one which, if, broken
up for any length Of time, is not easily re-
gained. Often severe illness treated by
powerful drugs, 50 deranges the nervous
system that sleep is never sweet after. Or
perhaps long continued wakefulness pro-
duces the same effect; or hard study, or
, too much exercise of the muscular system,
or tea and whisky drinking. and tobacco
using. To break up the habit, are re-
quired :roi e@
{ IL A good clean bed. tre
.. Sufficient exercise to produce weari-
ness. and pleasant occupaticn.
b 8. Good pure air and not too warm a
