Keg Factory. :

We visited this establishment yesterday and
found the proprietor, Mr.. D. r. Samuel, busily
engaged in putting his machinery in order
testing tin fact, getting everything ready to
commence the manufacture of kegs tomorrow.
Mr.. Samuel left Pennsylvania about the first of
October, and in the short time of about two
months purchased the ground, dug out and
built the foundation, erected a large and neat
shop, put up the machinery and is now ready
TO commence work. This proves him to be
thorough business man. he says that he will
ba able to turn out about 400 kegs a day, if he
can but find market for them. The Nail Fac
tory will make use of about 100 kegs per day,
and he hopes to be able to make an average sale
of from so to 100 more per day throughout East
Tennessee. 1t is his intention, also, if he meets
with any encouragement on the part of the
merchants in East Tennessee, to put up addi-
tional machinery and go into the manufacture
of tubs and buckets. He says he feels confident
that he can manufacture and furnish them to
the merchants fully cheap as they can pur-
chase them anywhere else. We can not see
why this should not be done. Mr. Samuel was
so favorably impressed with our country when
here on visit about one year ago, and finding
no Keg Factory here, he was induced TO make
this his future home and embark in this bust
ness. We trust that our citizens will give him
all the encouragement possible, and that he will
be able to build up good business in Knox
vile.

HOME CIRCLE.
NoBODY's DARLING.

Little and pallid, poor and shy,
With downcast look in her soft gray eye,
No scornful toss of queenly head,
But dropping bend OF the head instead
No ringing laugh, and no dancing feet
No subtle wiles, and abandon sweet,
No jewels costly, and no garments fine
She is hobody's daring-but mine.
No Dolly Warden coquettish airs
M high-heeled boots to throw her down stairs;
No yachting jacket and nautical style,
With sailors hat she calls her tile
But lady is stamped on her quiet brow
And she crept in my heart can't tell how,
Not made to dazzle, not born to shine
Nobody's-nobody' darling-but mine.
No saucy, rsvishing, girlish grace,
But "A settled calm on the sweet, pale face
No sparkling chatter and repartee
Very silent and still is She
White and still is my pearl of pearls,
ct to me she seemeth the queen of girls
Why love her l can't define,
For she's nobody's, nobody's darling but mine.
Were riches hers, or beauty rare,
She would lose her charm, become less fair;
Were rings 10 shine on tn ose fingers small,
They could not add to her grace at at.
She would learn TO smile and TO speak by rule,
In the foolish book of Dame Fashion, school,
And the world to spoil her would soon combine
Now she's nobody's darling-but NINE

How Chromos are Made.

Probably very few, even those persons
who are generally well informed, have the
slightest conception of the various process
es by which those wonders of modern imi-
tative art, popularity known as chromos,
are gradually developed, step by step, to a
ton in comparing with the original.
The picture to be copied is covered with
a transparent sheet of oiled paper, on
which a tracing of every outline is made.
This outline is then transferred to O litho-
graphic stone, known as the key" A
number of plates, equal to the number of
tints desired, is next prepared, and an inn
preston from the key is printed on each.
With the original before him the artist
fills in with crayon such portions of the
outline on each plate as he wishes to have
reproduced the particular shade assigned
to 1t.
The untouched portions of the plate are
then covered with a peculiar preparation,
and a galvanic bath, nicely governed,
does the work of an engraver, but does it
as no engraver could possibly do it-true to
n hair, and finer, if necessary, than the
naked eye can discover. Each plate is
printed in its turn on the paper, and every
impression must be so adjusted to its pre-
decessors that there shall be not the slight
est variation.
When it is considered that as many as
twenty or thirty plates are often required
that some portions of a tint are presery-
ed pure to the end, while others are cover
ed and affected by one or all succeeding
mpressions-the marvellous skill and
knowledge of various combinations of
color required of an artist who essays to lay
out and complete the plates of chrome,
may be family imagined by those who see
and admire the splendid results of his la
bOrs

MUTILATED CURRENCY.
How IL is bought and soid-Detaiis of the
businesses.

From th New York Times.l
The business u collecting and selling
this description of paper at discount now
forms the trade of great number of per-
sons in this city. 1t Is a well-known fact
that nearly every person who is in the
habit of carrying money loosely about his
clothes, comes into possession of more or
less of 1t which is in a rapid state of decay.
This, passing from hand to hnnd soon be-
comes mutilated to such an extent as to
warrant its REFUSAL by business people.
Then it finds its resting-place in the corner
Of some unused compartment of pocket
book or, money-drawer, and in many cases
remains there until finally thrown into
the waste-basket and burned with other
worthless rubbish. Thus a very great
amount of money is annually lost. The
capital stock necessary to n successful
prosecution of this business is not neces-
sarily great. A few dollars in the hands of
a shrewd Spectator will return very
gratifying revenue, as the prices for mutt
lated currency vary in the most irregular
manner, according to the various stages of
decomposition.
The price for currency and bills varies.
An average of from sixty to seventy per
cent. is paid. In the case of stamps and
bills being so mutilated to an extent which
renders their denomination almost unre-
cognizable the price is very low, yet they
are as marketable as others.
The mutilated currency thus collected is
sold Mt the Sub-Treasury in Wall street,
where the discount on mutilated bills av-
erages about ten per cent. Here it is kept
in quantities, and then forwarded to
Washington, where, at the Treasury Build
ngs, it is destroyed. The Spectator, in
majority of cases, buys dilapidated curren-
cy at about eighty cents, and sometimes
for seventy-five; this he disposes of at the
Sub Treasury for ninety, and as this is
about the average of the business its lucra-
tive results may be easily computed on the
extent of ground covered by the speeula-
tor. The business is increasing in this
and neighboring cities, women, in many
instances, having adopted it, meeting with
much success.

A Curious Custom.

There exist in Spain some singular GUS

noble Ia rare occurrence) receives patent

fact TO his friends and acquaintance, as
people do on the occasion OF a baptism or a
marriage. The AUenir National gives the
tenor of one of these letters:

that his Majesty has designed to confer on
him the title of Marquis, and he hopes
that you will kindly express your satisfac-

and Ohio Railroad.

Section Hand Killed on the Knoxville
and Ohio Railroad.
On Sunday night a passenger fell from the
Westward bound passenger train, on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, be-
tween Chatata and Cleveland, sustaining severe
injuries. His name is w. L. Williams, and his
home is near Columbus, Ga, to which he WAS
returning from n trip TO Europe. He had been
asleep and before he was fully conscious walked
out at the back door of the sleeping car which
was the last of the train, and thence to the plat
form and deliberately stepped off while the cars
were going very fast
In q short while he was missed by the conduc-
tor when party were sent back, who found the
unfortunate man lying by the side of the road
train and taken to Cleveland, where his injuries
were examined. He does not complain of suffer
ing much, but it is feared he is badly hurt.
RUN OVER AND KILLED.
On yesterday morning colored man named
Alex. McBee was run over by special train on
the Knoxville and Ohio Road, two miles this
side of Careyville, and killed. Early in the
morning an extra train left this city for Carey
vile for the purpose of laying track near that
place, and McBee together with other section
hands went up for that purpose. He was break
ing on one of the cars and not being very old
hand he fell between the cars and several pass
ed over him, MASKING his head and crushing his
arm and leg
No one on the construction train saw him fall
and the first seen OF him was by the passenger
train from Careyville which passed little
before o'clock. The deceased WAS about
thirty years of age and was an industrious
man. His remains were brought to the depot
in this city at halfpast four in the afternoon.

WASHINGTON, February 26, 1872. !
SIR laid your letter of the Odd before
the President, and am authorized to say
that he approves of the main features of
your plan for the storage of general order
goods. The change should be made with
as little delay as the nature of the case
will permit. In the reorganization of the
general order business, political influences
and personal interests should be set aside.
Having first made the rights of the Gov
eminent secure, it is the Presidents wish
that the work shall be so arranged and
conducted az to give the largest facilities
TO the merchants with the least possible
cost. The details of the organization
must be left to your judgment.
Respectfully,
