Knoxville and Macon Road.

The advertiser, Savannah, Ga, has the
following paragraph about projected en-
terprise in which some of our readers may
possibly feel an interest: -
We were honored with call on yester.
day from Col. VIM. X. de Grafienreid, the
President of the Macon and Knoxville
Road. In the course of conversation he
Informed us that the road had been put
under contract, and that within short
time the work would be commenced and
pursued with vigor. As the contemplated
road will form an important link in short
ening communication between the sea-
board and the West, our people will be
gratified to know that all necessary finan-
cial arrangements have been made TO Sc
cure its construction.

The situation in France is somewhat
critical az may be seen from our dis
patches of yesterday. While President
Theirs administration is commencing
itself more and more to the left, or Repub1
lican side of the French Assembly, the
right, composed of the Monarchists, is
organizing formidable opposition against
him. In order to concentrate their forces,
they have rallied to their aid all the OPP
posers of Theirs administration, radical
Republicans, Bonapartists and reaction
lists, and they propose to answer the French
Presidents message, and lay their answer
before the people. Theirs, however, is
strong enough, we think, to resist them
and we earnestly hope that the French
people will have sense enough not to be led
away by mere selfish politicians, who
have no point in common save their oppo-
sition to the present administration, but
rally to the support of the patriotic old
man on whose uncertain lease of life
seem to hang the destiny of France. Still
the situation is becoming more and more
complicated, and it is impossible to tell
what day even may bring forth.-BostOn

MY CROSS.

1t is not heavy, agonizng woe,
Bearing me down with hopeless, crushing
weight,
No ray OF comfort in the gathering gloom,
A heart bereaved, a household desoate;
1t is nodsickness, with her working hand,
Keeping one low upon a couch Of pain,
Longing each morning for the dreary night,
At night for the dreary day to come again
1t is not SANDER, with her evil tongue;
IT'S no presumptuous sin against my gracious
God;
No reputation lost, or friends betrayed
That such is not my cross thank my God.
Mine is a daily cross Of petty cares,
OF little duties pressing on my heart,
OF little troubles hard TO reconcile
Of inward struggles overcome in part.
My feet are weary in their daily round,
My heart is weary of its daily care
My sinful nature often doth rebel
| pray for grace my daily cross to bear.
1t is not heavy, Lord, yet oft l pine;
1t is not heavy, but It's everywhere,
BY day and night each hour my cross bear;
| dare not lay it down-Thou keeps't it there.
dare not lay it down. 1 only ask,
That taking up my daily cross, l may
Follow my Master humbly, step by step,
Through clouds and darkness into perfect day.

From the New York Exrress. ]

From the New \ ork EZfress.I
There has been recently opened, attach
ed 70 one of the fashionable young ladies'
boarding schools in this city, "Kinter-
garten"-a day school where little children
from four years old and upward are sent
for certain number of hours during the
day, with everything to amuse them,
teaching them a lesson at the same time.
This German idea of beginning to train
the mind in its infancy in such pleasant
ways that ii will leave a lasting impression
has, we trust, in this school but its begin
ming. The lady in charge was brought
from Germany especially for it, and it is a
beautiful sight to see the little tiny girls
with their worsted work, and the boys
with their building blocks, being instruct
ed, and their engines all explained, so
that they will work over them for hours
TO accomplish what they are trying 10 do.
II develops their tastes and most impOr-
tant Of all, begins early in life 10 discipline
their minds, aud with knowledge that
with not leave them bLdse at eighteen, and
nothing to do but dance the German. We
hope some of our American teachers will
follow this example, and open up other
and less expensive schools on the same
principle The Crown Princess of Prussia,
The daughter of a wise and eminently
practical father, Prince Albert, is great
patron of these little schools, as well as
those where women are taught all that
makes good housewife.

Anecdote of Chief Justice Marshall.

Chief Justice Marshall acknowledged in
1872, with many thanks, the privilege of
taking out books from the library, which
Congress had then granted to the justices
of the Supreme Court and which he priced
very highly. He liked to wait upon him
self, rather than to be served by the libra
rian; and one day, in taking a law-book
from the upper shelf of an alcove, he pull
ed down dozen ponderous tones, one of
which struck him on the forehead with
such force that he fell PROSTATE. An as
sistant librarian, who fastened to the old
gentleman's assistance, found him slightly
stunned by the fall; but he soon recovered,
and declined to be aided to his feet, saying,
with a merry twinkle in his eye, "I've laid
down the law out of the books many q
time in my long life, but this is the first
time they have laid me down. / am COM
pletely floored" And he remained seated
upon the floor, surrounded by the books
which he had pulled down, until he had
found what he sought, and "made note
thereof. From the Library of Congress,

zine for December.

General shermanIand his Exquisite Cap

While General Sherman's command was
waiting on Black River for the fall of
Nicksburg, in order TO move on Jackson
and drive Joe Johnston out, a scouting
party one day brought in a few prisoners,
among whom was young lieutenant, an
exquisite with long hair and an elaborate
lisp. He was taken to the Generals quar-
tiers and given a seat in front of the tent
within which General Sherman sat writ
ing. 1t was a hot summer day. Near the
tent was grove of magnolia trees, which
soon absorbed the attention of the captive.
"HOw beautifully those leaves wave !
be-utiful-beautifulr exclaimed he. Sher-
man gave hitch on his stool and snorted.
Soon came repetition of the exclamation.
Sherman grew more impatient. But when
the third exclamation came he could hold
in no longer, but burst out:
"Well, it, can't you let them wave :"
The exquisite did.-Editor's Drawer,

The receipts of beef cattle the present week
were exceeding small, and several lots brought

But our acquaintance cut.

Early in 1896, the School Of Medicine
was established. Dupnytren WINS admitted
as prosecteur ; and his talent speedily
brought him into notice. The house-sur-
geon, who knew his sstraitened means,
was soon able to put something in his way,
which brought him in e.and-tweniy
pounds. No sooner was the money in his
pocket, than off he goes to buy . barrel
and harness. This done, he puts himself
into the shafts, and wheels it away to show
it to Chassagne.
"Come, take me out, old fellow; shall
never get this harness off, he cries to the
astonished water-seller. tr Ila II.

"Not exactly but have earned little,
and SO your barrel was the first thing.
Come, put it under shelter, and let's have

By-and-by Dupuytren goes to his old
lodgings to pay his rent, and discovers the
rest of Chassagne's kindness.
"What, you impudent rogue you ac-
tually venture to thank me for the barrel,
when, but for me, you'd have had it more
than six months ago." s.gg..s y .,
"Do you think any barrel l could have

They were like brothers from that time.
Chassagne never sought to rise above his
position of water-carrier. Unlike most of
his countrymen, he did not care to return
to Auvergne, for he had no relations there,
and here was his "brother' in Paris.
Dupuytren was made professor at the
School of Medicine in 1911; in 1918, he
was appointed second surgeon at the Hotel
Dieu; in 1916, he became head-surgeon
there, and up to his death in 1885 he con-
tinued to maintain and increase an Euro
pean reputation But he never forgot old
times. The rich paid him large fees, and
the poor no prescribed for gratuitously !;
all came to him, and every one was taken
in his turn, whatever his rank or other
claims. Good Wo.ds. -
