Miss Nellie Grant,

"Mrs. Grundy, oft the New York lPortd,
writes from Washington:
The family speak of Miss Grant as hav-
ing grown and developed much during
her travels. They rather discourage the
idea that she will enter fully into society
the present winter. She is only seven
teen, and can well afford to wait There
is great rejoicing among her relatives over
her return, as she is almost idolized by her
aunts and uncles as well as her parents.
But then, to speak the truth, she has an
unusually lovely disposition, and although
an only daughter, is totally unspoiled.

"THE RECORD" +"
Prospectus.

The want of religious paper. which should possess
certain well defined characteristics has long been felt
in East Tennessee. Such paper. it was SEEN should
high toned fresh and vigorous to be highly esteemed
SO local in character to interfere with of our
able religious weekes published abroad; and so ex-
clusively religious compete with OF our pro-
gressive secular papers.
1t is proposed to this want by the publication at
Knoxville, Tennessee, of pnper called The RECORD
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices
shall sincerely aim to develop the religious interests OF
East Tennessee. The of all the churches and re-
lgiOus bodies in our section will be thankfully accept
ed and will be given fully and mpartialy as pos
sble.
The great aim will be to acquaint churches with
one another and place people in practical sympa
thy with the great religious movements and the earn
est Christian thought of the Politics will be en-
trely excluded. Nothing unchartable or partisan or
controversial will be admitted but only that which 1t
is hoped may promote the glory of onr Lord Jesus
Christ. in whose name this enterprise isDegun.
We desire to place the paper every family IN East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the cO-opera
ton of every Christian worker. That cheapness and
excellence may be combined, it will beissued monthly
but good paper and in the best STYLE and will con-
sist of eight pages, large quarto.

How the Democracy Embarked for salt
.ra. aEf q. r-.. River. tH.s --.r .#a9-. a

H
Pursuant to secret circular issued from
the Office of the "big organ a crowd OF
gloomy individuals gathered on the banks
OF the Holston late last night to embark
up, Salt river. Usually, such crowds,
though sad, go harmoniously and offering
mutual consolation, but last night we
think if the Democratic Exchequer had
permitted it, two boats would have been
furnished the quarreling half famished
disheartened crowd, for the Cheathamites
and Johnsonites were cursing each other
deep and loud
HOW THEY EMBARKED.
When they got ready to embark the
question was raised who should take the
bow of the boat. Crozier said that this
Andy Johnson boIting wing should go in
first They had played thunder with the
party and ought to go in first Col. John
Williams said as far as that was concerned
he didn't much care. The Union men al
ways had to lead when there was work to
be done or danger threatened and he guessed
they could do so again. He had with him
a copy of the constitution" and an
American flag" 1t was supposed he had
this for Andy, as he prayed during the
canvass that he hoped when he died to be
buried with the revered instrument of the
fathers and the starry emblem ofthe nation.
Col. John said he was willing to take the
post of danger, but he didn'twant the bow
of the boat, so he proposed to put Fleming
there, as he was pilot at the helm of the
"big organ" to guide the people. The edi-
tor accepted the post. At this point several
Cheatham men spoke up and said that as a
"guide'' he wasn't worth a cent. They
had no objections 10 his being put at the
bow for a figure head, but they
wanted one of the "old guard' at the
helm, to steer the craft. The "big organ"
was lightning on the straight ticket" in
August but it never could be trusted again.
If its editor took the bow he might get salt
water enough sprinkled on him to keep
him, but if not he would go off again first
chance. They agreed, too, that he would
have to go up the river to the highest
point with Andy Johnson, Colyar, Baxter
and the Bdnncr and AvaIanche. The ju-
nior editor of the "big organ" was there
with smile "childlike and blandn and

What Spring Brings With Ii.

Regarded from a medical standpoint,
Spring Is not the delectable season de-
scribed by yernal poets. On the contrary,
its yield Of intermittent fevers, bilious at
tacks, rheumatic pains, disorders OF the
stomach, nervous complaints and pulmo-
nary diseases, Is almost as large rs its crop
OF violets, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds Of innun cradle mala-
dies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapors OF night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence?
Certainly not the weak by nature, or those
whose nervous energies have been over
tasked by mental or physical labor, unless
hey tone and invigorate their systems, and
thus enable them to cope with the UNI
healthy influences by which they are sur
rounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
plished is the great vegetable renoVant ana
fnyigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The operation OF this celebrated SPECIFIC Is
four-ioId. 1t strengthens the digestive Or
CANS, regulates the secretions, improves
the condition OF tile blood, superinduces
regular habit Of body, and thereby imparts
such vigor and elasticity TO the whole
physical structure as TO render II capanie OF
resisting the action OF the poison IT. '.iiHS-
ma, with which the spring alin"sphste Is
always to some extent Iinpresnated. Here,
then, is a ready and certain means or es-
Gaping the disorders prevalent at this sea-
son, or III they have already fastened upon
the system) OF conquering them speedily
and thoroughly. The flavor OF medicine
is not OF much consequence, PROVIDED u
does its work properly. but Of Hostetter's
Filters Il may be fairly said that they
effect a cure without outraging the patients
sense of taste.

A SCARCITY of water is complained Of
in New England, and also in the West.
In New England many Of the water
powers have been worthless for months
stopping the wheels Of manufactures,
and snow aud ice have been used BY
families for drinking and cooking. In
Michigan, in dozen different counties,
the wells and ponds have been dry for
months, and some OF the inland lakes
are lower BY several feet than a year
ago. In Illinois, Missouri and the
Territories, the inconvenience is
greater, stock being driven several
miles to rivers at times when there
was no snow to melt. The explana.
ton. ofthis condition Of things, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press, is that
winter set in suddenly, the frost pene.
trating the ground to an unusual depth,
and the surface water was carried away
into the creeks and rivers. In locale
ties where there has been an unusual
quantity of snow. the drought isjust as
bad, the water running off the frozen
ground as fast as melted. 1t is believed
BY many that the frost will remain in
the ground long after the spring rains
have set in and snow disappeared, and
that drought will prevail during the
entire spring from this reason"

There seems to have been good deal
OF talk in the Convention in relation to
the salaries Of the Judges and other
State officers, and peculiar stress has
been placed upon economy in this re-
spect. Certainly the people OF the
State will very warmly approve the
effort OF the Convention to establish
cheap form of government, but we
respectfully submit that they do not
desire to sacrifice efficiency to economy.
1.-The best is the cheapest" is true OF
governments as well as in trade, and some
discretion should always be exercised
as 10 the proper place for retrenchment
Of expenditure. By making the legisla-
tive sessions biennial instead OF annual
the Convention has already effected a
large saving to the State; by reducing
the number OF judicial circuits,
another saving has been Ell
tected, and by consolidating
some offices and reducing the pay OF
others that seemed of comparatively
small importance, a still further re-
trenchment is produced. But the true
place for economy is in the minor and
more numerous offices OF the counties
and their subdivisions A reduction OF
ten dollars in the expenses Of each
township in the State will produce
better result and prove a more practical
economy than can be had by pinching
the salary Of the State Superintendent
of Free Schools, or putting the Judges
upon short allowance.
We have made an estimate Of the
legislative, executive and judicial ex.
penditures fixed by the present Consti-
tuition, and those provided for in the
Constitution proposed by the Conven-
ton. 1t will be seen that there is
an aggregate animal reduction in these
items alone of more than Sixteen Thou.
sand Dollars. The exhibit is as fol-
