The Nashville correspondent of the
Cowier-Jomna comes to the aid of Gov.
Brown, in his pet scheme for funding the
entire State debt, including "all well as
certained liabilities" The Governor has
manifested quite an interest in this matter.
We have been informed from a reliable
source, that at least one Of the fund
ing bills offered in the Senate was
in the handwriting of his private
Secretary. He is exceedingly anx
ious to distinguish his administration
by something or other, and not knowing
what else, he has bit upon this plan. 1t
is 30 ridiculous to think of funding the en-
tire debt, unmatured as well as ma
tured bonds and over due interest,
that a school boy could not be
be persuaded to defend it. The Legislature
will not be inveigled into the support of
such folly, even to prop the decaying for
tunes of declining politician. We trust
and believe that body will do what is just
to our creditors by funding nlatured bonds
and past due coupons If the policy Of the
Governor is carried out. ii is giving him
carte blanche 10 fund whatever his friends
persuade him he ought to fund, and the
Legislature will not confer any such pow
ers on any one man.

nTAEE PEOPLE,

Mr.. J. b. johnson, in his unique lecture
at the Board of Trade rooms on Tuesday
evening, said a great many good things.
His remark about detesting tame people"
was abrupt, not framed to tickle the ears
of his audience and not SO intended, but
there is great deal in it. The ears of
Knoxvillians have been tickeled too much
already; so much that they are too willing
to sit still on the stool of do-nothing, and
wait for Providence to make them ricE.
When nature endowed us with our rich
mines of iron, coal, copper, marble, zinc.
&C., our fertile lands, our pure mountain
streams, our salubrious climate, (this last
doesn't apply just now and many other
advantages too tedious 20 mention, it was
not intended that we should sit still,
yawn and grow rich without know
ing how. The history of our race,
from the time Adam partook of the
forbidden fruit to the present, proves, even
if il had not been so stated in Holy Writ,
that man must "earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow" Intelligent labor, di-
rected by activity and energy, is the key
to wealth, and he who seeks that coveted
boon in any other way is likely to die a
disappointed bankrupt. 1t is Tot the most
highly favored sections of our country that
are the wealthiest and most prosperous.
Yankee energy and enterprise makes the
sterile soil of New England, with its in
hospitabie climate, bring forth fruit an
hundred fold. What is the difference be-
tween New England and Tennessee !?
Providence has favored rs in every way,
and we have relied on Providence for all
we need The New Englanders under
stand that while nature may favor them,
they are not released from the response
bility of laboring for themselves O.
Our "tame people" in Tennessee and
other Southern States ought to realize by
this time that nature will not do all fer
them. They have been laboring under a
delusion, and unless they awake soon,
they will be surprised when they do awake,
to find that they are so far behind the
age.
Let US wakeup, then, and begin to make
a noise. Don't be afraid of unfavorable
criticism, even if we should go bustling
through the world in an honest endeavor
to gain what we have lost by sleeping.
while our northern, eastern and western
neighbors have been wide awake and hard
at work. There is no harm in one elbow

Adventures of a Dressing-GOwn.

A lady was anxious to make her husband a
present on the occasion Of his birthday, and it
happening to fall in tie winter, she thought a
dressing-gown would be a most useful aoquis
ton to his domestic con- fort. Size went and
purchased fine Persian pattern, well wadIed.
Not remembering tie exact height Of her bus
band, she thought it best to purchase it rather
too long than too short, to make sure Of its use
fitness The day was wet; the husband re-
turned in the afternoon, and she presented him
with the new article Of comfort and he fsncied
it, indeed a great article of comfort after lie
had put of his wet garments. Bat il was
about ten inches too long. ooh never mind,
said the affecticnate wife, can easily shorten
it to suit you" They had party in the
evening, and were very merry; and every ono
admired the beautiful dressing-gown. After
they had gone to bed the wind aud rain made
such noise that the wife couldn't sleep her
husband snored musically. She arose without
disturbing hin, took the dressing-gown and
commenced her work, outing or about the
length oltenincbes 70 make it suit her husbands $
stature, aud then went TO. bed again. In the
morning she was up early to make some ar
rangements with her housckecper, as several
friends were expected TO dinner that day.
Scarcely had tic lady left when her sistcr-a
good-naturcd old lady who lived with them
stepped in on tip-toe, in order not to disturb
the sleepers, took the dressing-gown, and cut
it of about ten inches, as She knew il was too
long the nigh, before IA hour after the gem
t'eman awohe, and was bow anxious TO sur
prise his wife, Ringing for a servant. he was,
told 70 take the dressag-gown to tailor aud
have it made shorter by ten ipches. The good
wife was detained longer :han expected, and
scarcely bad the drcssing-gown returned from
the taior's when she came into the room. Her
husband had inst risen. aud proposed now to
enjoy his comfort. But how surprised was bis
better half to sec her hrs'and in a fine Persian
shooting jacket iustead Of a comfortable dress
ing gown.

Care Of the Hands.

Harper's Bazar says 70 make the hands
soft and white, one of the best things is to wear
at night large mittens Of cloth filed with wet
bran or oatmeal, and tied closely at the wrist.
A lady who had the whitest, softest hands in
the country confessed that she hal great deal
Of house work to do, and kept them as white
as an idler's by wearing bran mittens every
night. The pastes and pOultces FOX tie face
owe most Of their efficiency to their moisture
which disolyea the old course skin, and to their
protection from the air, which allows the new
skin to come tender and delicate. Oatmeal
paste is efficacious as any thing, though less
agreeable than the pastes made with white Of
egg, alum, and rose water. The alum as.rin-
ges the flesh and makes it firm while the egg
keeps it sufficiently soft. and the rose-w ater
perfumes the mixture and makes the curd not
so hard
