FACTS AND FArCIEs.

When nature first produced the fair,
'Mong other things, it was her care
Gas the fair form in beauty grew
10 shape the back both straight and true;
Except, indeed, when in a whim,
Some uncOuth dwarf, or monster grim.
She favors with a sWelled sack
Perched high in honor on the baSkl
But in these days of wOnd'rOus light,
Taste rises in her power and might,
and disappearing natures plan,
She forms a bag of wool or bran.
And where she thinks hump should be,
Straight, in that place, hump you'll see;
The names with which the humps abound
Are full ofsense as well as sound
Nothing more dignitied, Pm sure,
Than Bishop, Bustle, or TOurneur!
And if some sour, old-fashiOned dame
Should tartly ask-''what's in nameY"
We'd answer -"that cannot scan:
But, ma'am, the thing is full of branl"
Now listen to me, lady dear,
A word I'd whisper in your ear;
Why be 50 partial to one spot
Why hump one place and others not?
If in the hump such beauty lies,
AS true friend, I'd you advise
To raise the hump on every place,
And then you'd be all over gracel
Then, if we beauties wish to find,
We need not always look behindl

VIII our Business men Respond /!

1t is now very evident that the business
men of this city should step forward
promptly and relieve the E. ID. Fair of its
embarrassment. Everybody wants the
Fair to be a success, but how can that be
possible when its debts are weighing it
down like frightful incubus Can we
make brick without straw? Can we drive
a great enterpriselike this without money?
Are there not one hundred men
in this city who will take
stock to the amount of 500 each
Think, gentlemen, of the wonderful re-
suits that would follow from this act. Con-
slider the advantages that would accrue to
your young and prosperous city, as we'll as
the whole country. Never was there
time when hearty and robust action was
more urgently and clamorously demanded
than at present. Act

Too Much of 4 Good Thing.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: You have two
correspondents writing upon the cattle
question who are disposed, judging from
what they say, to run to an extreme with
regard to this matter. Mr.. Lee is out and
out for the Ayreshires, and "T." for the
Alderneys or Jerseys. Now both of these
are excellent, and we need one hundred
where we now have none. But itmust be
borne in mind that the farmers of East
Tennessee do not all of them expect to go
into the dairy business-to make butter
and cheese. They want race of animals
that have becfgudtjtjeS, which neither of the
breeds referred to have. Hence the Dur
ham stock should be introduced into East
Tennessee. There is no stock in the world
equal to this stock for beef. In Kentucky
and Virginia they are brought to thehigh
est state of cultivation, and constitute one
of the great sources of revenue to these
States. In East Tennessee we have small
scrub breeds, and when fattened, are not
fit for the Baltimore or Eastern markets.
The results is our farmers are losing inn
mensely for the want of better grade of
animals for the shambles. In the mean-
time T.' and Mr.. Lee can go on with
their project of introducing the Jersey and
the Ayreshire races.
