Of the Government. The gambling
fraternity bid fair to lead as wander
in. a life as ULYSSES of old, or his mo-
dern namesake and counterpart in
this one respect only. They have
been refused an entrance into France
and Russia. Monaco, according to
the papers, is subject to irruptions Of
cunning Americans, who break the
pank, and, besides, is small and unat-
tractive. Italy will not have them
at any price. and if they wandered off
into the dim obscurity Of the outskirts
of Europe it is doubtful if they would
even find there a resting place, and
very certain that they would not re-
ceive one-half OF their present patro
mage.

DO THE BEST YOU CAN.

Oh, do the best you can,
And leave the rest to God;
Bow low in loving meckness,
Beneath his Christening rod.
Oh, do the est you can,
Throughout life's weary road;
He will not let you sink
Beneath your heavy load.
Oh, do the best you can,
Though all seems dark and drear,
Believing, hoping ever,
That He your prayers will hear.
Oh, do the best you can,
Striving with all your might.
To finish well lifes work
Ere cometh the long night.
Oh, do the best you can.
And humbly pray for light
Upon your darksome pathway,
Bereft of sunshine bright.
Oh, do the hest you can,
Look up to yon blue sky,
And work to win a mansion
In that blest home on high.

AT IT AGA1N..-That poetess, the
double distilled gusher, has been at 1t
again. 1t appears that the kissing
machine that we recommended for
her few weeks ago did not work, or,
at all events, did not give satisfaction,
for she still cries to be kissed, or tells
about the luxury Of having enjoyed it.
Just hear how she goes on:
Oh, you kissed me softly, gently,
As hirdling in its nest
Might cling and nestle tenderly
TO its mothers downy breast.
Your soft lips distilled sweet nectar
Pure as that the Junc-bug sips
As he hovcrs over the roses
That in hue vie with your lips.
That must have been a nice time.
Wonder if it was the fellow with the
"amethvst eyes?

Gen. Hartrauft, the Republican candi-

in the army with great credit during the
entire war. From this part of his record
we Judge he must be personally known TO
some of our Knoxville readers: In 1865 he
was West, shared in the labors and glorles
of the Vicksburg campaign, but proStra-
ted by sickness caused by a sunstroke, was
comneIled to retire from the field for a
time. Joining his division again, which
had been transferred to East Tennessee, he
was lust in time to take part in the battle

shortcomings and mistakes, he claimed
that on the whole Grant was the best man
in the party to occupy the White House.
