Late News From New York.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: / have an item
so good that it must not be lost to the
public. AS King Harris says: Demo
Gratis, your attention" ..
On last Friday night a merchant who
stopped at Sweet Water-and lives there,
or in the Observation-Disclosures in the
smoking car, just as we left Jonesborough,
stated to gentleman sitting on the same
seat was occupying, that it was all up
with Greeley in the Northern States. The
question being asked: "But how about
NewYork % he replied: 80, the Demo-
Gratis have gone back on us. Even in the
city, they are uniting with the Republi-
cans and it is probable that the Republi-
can majority in the city will be large.
The business men there of the Democratic
party have sold out to the Republicans. I
have bought my last bill of goods in New
York. After this will stop in Baltimore;
and have heard at least one hundred and
fifty Southern merchants say that they
will do the same thing-nOt another dollar
of nv money goes to New York"
am led to presume that the publication
of the Times means even more than the
words and figures of its articles on this
subject. That movement of the merchants,
bankers, and leading business men must
truly be great one, if thus early the reb-,
el Democrats of the South, at least OF
Sweetwater, appeal from New York to
Baltimore, But how about Baltimore
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-10-30

Will not that he gloomy place for Demo
cratic merchants to go? Was it not there
-even in Baltimore-thatD Democrats took
the oath of allegiance to Horace Greeley
Was it not there that the great(?) Demo
cratic party died and went to h-or-
ace? Of course it was. Please ask the
Press and H-no, the "big organ" as
you call it, if it will buy any more ink at
New York. Or will it also stop at Balti-
more?
But, is not such proseriptiveness, for
mere political opinion sake, wrong and
undemocratic? If such action be carried
out, will not the Southern Greeleyitic
Democrats who have subscribed for
"Whitelaw" Greeley's Tribune order its
discontinuauce ESPECIALLY, if the stock
holders elect Schuyler Colfax or some other
good and great journalist to the Managing
Editors chair?
This Southern merchants movement
must be put stop to. Ask the "big or
gan" to put note of Wind against it. Let

Grant VS.. Greeley.

After all the abuse, SANDER, and villifi-
cation heaped upon President Grant, by
the Greeley radical sheets Of the South, we
propose to keep before our people the fol-
lowing comparison between President
Grant and Horace Greeley:
When the rcbellious traitors are over
whelmed in the field and scattered like
leaves before an angry wind, it must not
be to return to peaceful and contented
homes. They must find poverty at their
firesides, and see privation in the anxious
eyes of mothers and the rags of children
Horace greeley IN the Tribune, Mdy.1St,
1861
Tell your boys they can take their horses
home with them to help them to make
their crops.-Geye. Grant to Gen. Lee.
General Lee and his officers and troops

HON. HORACE MAYNARD AT COLUMBIA.
He Makes Profound Impression and
Gaines Votes

He Makes Profound Impression and
Gaines Votes.
A gentleman writing from Columbia
Tennessee, says
We had Hon. Horace Maynard with us
last Friday. He spoke to large audience
and was listened to with profound atten-
ton. His remarks were listened to with
more interest than any speech made here
since the days of Polk and Jones. More
ex-rebels and Democrats speak in praise of
the matter and spirit of his speech than
has been accorded to any Republican
that has ever spoke here. He made a fine
impression, and it is conceded
that he made votes. The Democrats
listened to him with marked interest and
treated him with profound respect. Many
of them called upon him at his room and
greeted him kindly, giving assent to some
of his mastery and convincing arguments
in support of Gen, Grants administration.
His reasons why eX-rebel soldiers can sup
port Grant rather than Greeley were un-
answerable. When L say that Maynard
will make gains in this county, / speak
from personal knowledge of the facts.

men, he would be called a very hand
some man. But, as his face is somewhat
marked by dissipation, excess in living,
and recklessness, he is what the ladies
might call a wicked beautiful man. His
dress is that of gambler, except that

sometimes black but he wears shining

THE MARRYING BUsINEss.-The
marrying business received q merited re-
buff in Louisville the other day. AS
very often happens, q young lady had
engaged herself for life to two gentle
men, one of whom she loved, or preten-
ded to, and the other she did not love,
but the pretensiOns were the same. By
some strange freak, that can only be
explained on the ground that she was a
woman, she married the man who stood
lowest in her virgin affections. The
union did not last long, and in cold
blood she applied for and obtained a
divorce. Then comes the other and
renews his suit and is accepted the
wedding day is fixed and the invita-
tions issued. Unexpected trouble comes,
for the pastor at the church refuses to
perform the ceremony, and the trustees
decline to open the house for the spec
tacle. The tickets of admission had
been withdrawn, and it was necessary
to make other arrangements for the
grand transformation scene in which
the two lovers, after all their troubles,
released from the demon of the play,
were to make an ascension into an i'm
aginary paradise and amid the glare of
blue lights. Another pastor and anoth-
er church were found and the play was
enacted.
This is degrading nuptials into the
coolest kind of business that can be
imagined. We have heard of ladies
who found it difficult to make a selec-
ton from a number of admirers, but
according to the above whim Of taking
the worst, If they live long enough they
might finish up the whole list and be
happy yet.

How to Measure am Acre and
Parts OF am Acre.

Land can be measured with satisfac-
tory accuracy for many purposes, by pa
eng. Five PAGES are equal to one
lineal rod. A man having long legs will
usually measure more than rod at five
PAGES, while a shOrt-legged man will
be obliged to step unnaturally long to
measure a rod at fvepaces. The correct
way is to measure 164 feet on level
ground, then practice guaging the steps,
until one can measure rod at every
five steps Then one hundred steps OF
PAGES will be equal to twenty rods. If
plot OF land he two hundred PAGES long
and fifty PAGES wide, call every five pa
ces a rod, multiply the rods in length by
the number OF rods in width, and divide
the product by 100; the squire rods is one
acre. Thus: 100 PAGES, 90 rods, and so
PAGES, 10 rods, or 10 by 20, 300 square
rods, which divided by 100, It acres.
A square acre is about 20S feet 81 in
chcs on every side.
In order to lay ont one acre of land
twice as long as the width, the length
must be AT feet and 5inches, and width

WHY WE SHOULD WEAR Boards
There are more inducements for wear
ing the beard than the mere improve
ment of a mans personal appearance,
and the cultivation of such an aid to the
everyday diplomacy of life. The hair
of the mOustaChe not only absOrbs the
moisture and miasma of the fogs, but it
strains the air from dust and the SCOT of
our great, smoky cities. It acts also in
the most scientific manner, by taking
heat from the warm breath as it leaves
the chest, and supplying it to the cold
air taken in. It is not only respiratOr,
but with beard entire we are supplied
with comforter as well, and these are
never left at hOmeli the umbrella and
all such appliances when they are want
ed. MOffattand Livingstone, the explOr-
ers, and many other travellers, say that
at night no wrapper can equal the beard.
A remarkable fact is, too, that the beard,
like the hair of the head, protects against
the heat of the sun it acts as the thatch
does to the icehOuse but, more than this,
it becomes moist with Precipitation, and
then, by evaporation, coOls the skin. A
man who accepts this protection of ma
ture may face the rudest storm and the
hardest winter. He may 20 from the
hottest room into the cOldest air without
dread, and we verify believe he might
sleep in mOrass with himpunity-at least,
his chance of escaping the terrible fever
would be better than his beardless COM
paniOns.- American Artisan.

ADVICE TO DYSPEPTICS.-If a man
wishes to get rid of dyspepsia he must
give his stomach and brains less to do.
1t will be of no service to him to follow
any particular regimen--to live on chaff
bread, or any such stuff-tO weigh his
food, etc, so long as the brain is in II
constant state of excitement. Let that
have proper rest, and the stomach will
perform its functions. But if he pass
fourteen or fifteen hours day in his Of
flee or counting room, and take no exer-
else, his stomach will inevitably become
paralyzed, and if he puts nothing into it
but cracker a day, it will not digest it..
In many cases it is the brain that is the
primary cause.
Give that delicate organ some rest.
Leave your business behind you when
you go to your home. Do not sit down
to your dinner with your brOws knit, and
your mind absorbed in casting up inter
est accounts. Never abridge the usual
hours of sleep. Take more or less exer-
else III the open air every day. Allow
yourself innOcentrecreatiOn. Eat mod
erately, slowly, and Of what you please,
provided it be not the shovel and tOngs.
Ifany particular dish disagrees with you,
however, never touch it, or look at it.
Do not imagine that you must live on
rye bread nor oat meal porridge; a rea-
sonable quantity of nutritious food is
essential to the mind as well as the body.
Above all, Danish all thoughts on the
subject. If you have any treatises on
dyspepsia, domestic medicine, etc, put
them directly into the fire. If you are
constantly talking and thinking about
dyspepsia, you viii surely have it. En-
deavor to forget that You have q stom-
ach. Keep clear conscience; live tenn
perately, regularly, cleanly; be indus.
triOus, too, but be temperate.--[ Boston
