4 Correction.

In letter published in Fridays CHRoN-
ICLE [ gave a calculation of the probable
result fthe Presidential elec5ionin Novem-
Der. find a mistake in that calculation
which should be corrected.
Congress made changes in the Electoral
College during its last session. One OF
these changes was made in the last days OF
its deliberations.
Immediately following its adjournment
the New York Tribune published table
based upon the latest ppOrtiOnment, Civ
ing the Electoral College for 1872, 1t was
the first published and [ cut it out for re-
ference. By typographical error in the
Tribune office this table represented the
Electoral College as composed of 336, ,mem-
bers.
The calculation made in my letter was
prepared while travelling in the cars and
upon the basis Of the Tribune table. The
Electoral College consists of 366 members
instead of $50, as footed up by the Tribune.
[ accepted its figures as correct, but on
proving its table now before me, [ see the
error was made 10y its printers.
The information upon which the pOliti-
cal status of the States was judged was
gathered by q month of personal Observa-
ton and consultation, but the figures We're
hastily prepared from the table and under
the circumstances mentioned.
The electoral votes of the States claimed
for Grant footed up 1856 The number ne
cessary to a choice is 184 instead of l69, as
the Tribune made it. This leaves Grant an
excess of II instead of q electoral votes.
According to the confessions made in the
secret Greeley Conference at New York,
as now published by German editor,
New Jersey should be given to Grant. Ac-
cording to this same editor, Greeley s
friends secretly admitted that New York
was doubtful and that sin Pennsylvania
things looked blue for Greeley" These
confessions confirm my information.
My calculation proves safe, therefore,
and, according to Democratic admissions,
fairer for Greeley than the facts warrant.
1t was not made for buncombe, but is, l
believe, safe estimate. My mistake was
made in trusting in the IrjbWoe'S figures,
but, like many others, [ find the Greeley
Tribune of 1872 is not the Tribune of form
er and better days. a. J. r.

Rev. DR.. Lord endorsed all that DR. Lee had
said. and opened up the vital suoJect OF dairy
farming in East Tennessee. lie was OF the
This business. and made the significant remark
that cheese, at five cents per pound was more
valuable than any product of the farm.
Hon. O. p. Temple made some we'll directed
remarks with reference to dairy and beef cat
tIo and maintained that our section was we'll
odanted to the dairy business. Hc further took
the high ground that our farmers must become
reading people.
Col. j. ii. Crozier paid deserved tribute
TO the soil and climate of East Tennessee, and
maintained that we had every variety of soil
and every variety of production. He turned
loose his guns upon the lack of efficiency in
the Agricultural department of the East Ten
nessee University claiming that it was the duty
of the managers of that Institution to furnish
lecturers and to publish an agricultural journal
for the benefit Of the farmers.
G. w Mabry then took the floor and let fly
his arrow at Indifferent farmers, alleging that
they were asleep, and took no interest in the
work in which they were engaged. He went
for the Agricultural College, and cOnteEded
that the farm under its control should be made
a model one that those passing it might be
benefited.
c W. Charlton, on the paper question, ar
gued that we should support home papers first,
aud then if there was any spare change in the
hands Of the farmers they could go outside the
State to get them. He remarked that at the re-
cent Farmers Convention the members of that
body unanimously agreed to support the new
agricultural journal which is soon to be publish
ed in the city Of Nashville. He thought 1t
questionable policy to moot the subject of start
ing an agricultural organ in East Tennessee.
Esquire De- rmOnd made some striking re-
marks concerning the operations of Farmers
Club organized ear the Seven Islands. They
had already secured a library of valuable books
and were in correspondence with some stock
men preparatory to the purchase of some fine
cattle, hogs and sheep.
The following questions were adopted to be
discussed at the next meeting:
1st. The best method Of putting in wheat ana
the variety to sow?
ID. Is it proftableto cut down corn and shock
it?
The last Saturday in each month was fixed
upon as the time for the future meeting Of the
Club.

cambridge Items.

The summer session of the Masonic Fe-
male Institute of this place has just closed
with a grand and successful exhibition and
examination. Miss Jennie Gray, the love-
Iy and accomplished Principal of the In
stitute, deserves more credit than can be
given ner for the manner in which she has
instructed her pupils.
I have attended many examinations, but
can not now recall one where such de-
gree of perfectness had been attained as in
this. 1t is almost useless to attempt to
particularize among the young ladies who
attended the school, where all are so near
perfect. Miss Alice Woodside took the
first prize on general examination, but she
had to work it, for they were all close to
her.
II. II. Ingersoll, Of Greeneville, was
present and delivered an address, which
was received with hearty applause.
This Institute is under the immediate
control of the Masonic Fraternity and with
its present teacher deserves to be fully pa
trOnized. The fall session commences in
September. 0. P. DILDOCK.

Did PauI Have a Wife ?

1t was an early question whether the
Apostle Paul was married. The passage
in the epistle to the Corinthians in which
he speaks Of himself as unencumbered
with domestic cares, does not preclude the
notion that he might have been a widOwer
does not even prove more than that he
went on his missionary Journeys alone.
On the other hand, he speaks of his assent
to the death of Stephen, and of his COM
mission from the Sanhedrim functions
and powers that could not well have heen
exercised by man who was not a mem
Der of the council. But we are expressly
told that this great assembly of the Jews
included only fathers, to secure a mercifnI
Interpretation of the law. An earIv ex-
PLANTATION, too, of the "true yoke fellow,
at the church to Phillippi, whom he bids
to labor to reconcile or assist Enodia and
Syntyche, recognizes the wife of the Apos-
tie in the phrase. The epistle was. it
may be said almost certainly, written
from Rome, and during the time of that
Imprisonment in which the periIs of the
Apostles situation were aggravated by
sorrow, and ultimately the desertion of
many among his friends.

BY JOAQUIN MILLER,

And you and l have buried Love
A read seal on the cofin's lid;
The clerk below the Court above,
Pronounced it dead; the corpse is hid,
And /, who never crossed your will,
Consent-that you may have 1t still.
"What recks it now whose was the blame
But call it mine; for better used
Am / to wrong and cold disdain-
Can better bear to be accused
Of all that wears the shape of shame,
Than have you feel one touch of blame
go alone no little hands
To lead me from forbidden ways,
n little voice in other lands
Shall cheer me on the weary days;
\ ct these are yours, and that to me
Is much indeed, and itmust be.
i" did not blame you-do not blame
The stormy elements of soul
That have scorned to tone OF tame,
Or bind down unto dull control.
In full, fierce youth, they all are yours
With all their folly and their force.
" But'sbould you sometime read a sign,
A name among the princely few,
While you are with your friend and mine,
Then careless turn to one or two;
Say, He was mine his smiles, his tears
Were mine-were mine for years and years

Leaders. IFFF'
The Nation of New York was one of the
very first papers to favor the Cincinnati
movement. Its editor is a gentleman of
the highest character and his word is as
good as his bond. He attended the Gree
ley Fifth Avenue Conference. It's deliber-
ations were held with closed doors. Just
what was said in the meeting has never
heretofore been madespublic. The Nation,
in its account of the Conference, disclOses
some rich confessions. Read this for one ::
For instance, one Of the arguments
which was most freeley used at Cincinnati
to console those who were disappointed by
the work CT the Convention was that
whatever other objections might be made
to Greeley, he was sure at least to prove
popular candidate. The people, we are
told, who would have coldly accepted
Adams or Trumbull, would hail Greeley
with delight. On Thursday, however,
friends Of Greeley from various States rose
in their places ia the conference" and
man after man, 2UitbOut q single exception,
testified that the nomination of Greeley
was received in their respective localities
with disappointment; many said 1T was
received with disgust" Nearly all liken-
ed Greeley to medicine" while several
Iikened him to particular kinds of medi-
cine, such as jalap, calomel, and tatar
emetic. All or nearly all, testified, too,
that Adams nomination would have been
cordially welcomed, and would have car,

that it had taken some weeks, and the dis

to bring their constituents up TO the point

planning his position, in the evening, ac-

from Mr.. Greeley, would not predict any,

Extraordinary Story.

In village not far from Berlin an old
couple lived very quietly upon their little
property. Both had carefully purchased
their collins some years ago, as IS often the
case among country folks. The collins
were placed in a stable and We're used as a
receptacle for different things, especially
for storing up baked fruit and other arti-
cles intended to be kept for winter use.
Not long ago the old man died suddenly.
The son (Who was a soldier, Quartered at
Berlin, hasted at the summons to pay the
last respects to his fathers remains. In
tn meantime the mother had, with the
help of another son who lived with her,
pnt all the articles together in one of the
cOffins, and in the other had duly placed
the mortal remains of him who for so
many years was the partner of her life
long Journey. The coffin was carried to
the grave by the hands of stout country
youths, and followed by the sorrowing
relatives and sympathizing neighboTs,
while the bells tolled out their melancholy
dirge. The following day the son had to
return to the garrison. The anxious moth
er wished to give him some of the fruit,
&C., that was packed away to take with
him on his journey, and on going to the
remaining coffin for that purpose what
was her horror to find the body of her
husband. In the confusion of the mo-
ment the wrong coffin had been borne to
the grave, and now there remained moth
ing else to be done than to dig the first
coffin up again and bury the dead body,
while second funeral Grafton had to be
pronounced by the village pastor.

Bad Behavior of the Big Drum at BOstO n

The fate of the great drum ought to be
warning to Mr.. Gilmore hereafter. This
illustrious instrument was built in Maine,
and is about the size of small bed room.
When it was done side of the factory had
to be taken down to permit its removal. 1t
was sent to Boston on an ocean steamer,
and was drawn through the streets in tri-
umphal procession by four prancing steeds,
followed by the acclamations of the popu-
lace. Gorgeous patriotic and artistic de-
vices were painted all over it, and place
was arranged for it in the center of the
great orchestra. POlyphemus himself could
not have struck both heads of this instru-
ment at once; but the drummer had q
place at one side where he could just reach
up and strike it in the middle. When the
band came to rehcarse, however, an un-
expected trouble was discovered. The
drum had q magnificent tone, but it would
not keep time The vibrations were SO
long in getting across that mighty skin
that the drummer, though never so
prompt, seemed always fraction of q Sec
Ond behind-hand. The voice was like the
voice of thunder, but, also, like thunder,
it came some time after the stroke. Of
course the other instruments would not
wait for it, and you know when the drum
is perpetually trying to catch up with the
fiddles and perpetually not doing it, the
result can not be described as euphOnious.
So the drum was taken away and hung
over the south gallery.
