It appears that up to this time, thirty-two Re-
presentatives and hfteen Senators have returned
their "back pay 10 the Treasury. OF the thir-
ty-two Representatives, only ssuen are Demo-
Gratis. This seems odd, when il is remembered
how vehemently many Democratic newspapers
have denounced the "grab." and how many
members belonging to their party there we're in
House.
We are panied to say that in the list now pub
lished the name of the Honorable Benjamin T.
Biggs, of Delaware does not appear. Ana while
the names OF the Senators are not given, We
have not heard that that Of the Honorable Ell
Salisbury is among them.

Death from Smoking.

The New York correspondent Of
the Buffalo Commercial Adcertise,
writes: ga case in my own intimate
acquaintance has this very week ap-
palled large circle Of friends in this
city. The victim was exactly of my
own years, and companion from
boyhood. For thirty years at least
he has been a daily smoker of the
choicest cigars, but in all his Other
habits temperate and regular, and OF
excellent constitution-one who of all
men, would have laughed at the su o
gestion that tobacco was killing him
A week ago last Sunday night he was
stricken with the progressive paraly-
sis characteristic of nicotine, and on
Sunday night he died. His death was
most pitiful. First, sight was lost
then speech, then motion of the neck
then motion of the arms, and so or
throughout the body, and he lay for 6
fortnight unable to move or make q
sign, save pititul, tongueless, inar
ticulate sound, which sometimes rose
to almost frantic effort, all in vain, tc
make known what he wished to say
to his family or friends-for his con
sciousness and mental faculties were
left unimpaired till within two hours
Of the last, to aggravate to the utter
most the horrors of his situation-a
living soul in a dead body. The sense
of hearing was left unimpared, so that
he was conscious of all around him.
while as incapable Of communication
with them as if dead, save by a slight
sign Of assent or dissent to question.
The doctors were fully agreed that
tobacco was the sole cause of this
stroke.

"Show me drunkard !" The Judge
rose to his feet, and balancing himself
on his cane, said solemnly, "Here I

Doing a PedIing Female.

We had a visit from book-peddl-
ing female last week. She wished to
dispose Of a book, She was alone in
this world, and had no one to whom
she could turn for sympathy or as
sistance, hence we should buy her
book. She was unmarried, and had no
manly heart in which she could pour
her suferings, therefore we ought to
invest in her book. She had received
liberal education and could talk
French like native we could not in
consequence refuse to pay her two
dollars for a book. She wanted to
take lessons in music from a learned
German professor consequently we
must not decline buying book. We
had listened attentively, and here we
broke in with, "What do you say p
We're deaf" She started in a loud
voice and went through her rigmarole.
When she had finished we went and
got roll of paper made it into
speaking trumpet, placed one end into
our ear, and told her to proceed; she
nearly burst blood vessel in her effort
to make herself heard. She commenc-

was howled. "We don't want cook"
we blandly remarked "our wife does
the cooking, and she wouldn't allow
as good-looking woman as you are
to stay in the house five minutes
She's very jealous" She looked at us
in despair. Gathering her robes
about her, giving us a glance of con-
tempt, and exclaining, 81 do believe
if a three hundred FOUNDER was let off
alongside that blamed old deaf fools
head, he'd think somebody was knock
ing at the door. She slung herself out
and slammed the door with vehe-
mence that awakened our Office boy,
who can sleep sound enough for
whole family. When she was gone
we indulged in a demoniac laugh
She isn't likely to try to sell us a book
any more.

words ofSoloman "In all labor there

by my labor" ''Then you know some

THE NEW HOME-LIGHT.

Della Lcnox considered herself the
most unhappy woman in existence.
1t was near the middle of the fore
noon, and she sat in her chamber with
red, swollen eyes, wishing that she
was back in her old home. She had
been married not quite three years,
and where she had promised herself a
rich harvest Of fragrant flowers, she
had tound-so she told herself-only
bed of thorns and thistles. She had
married Charles Lenox because she
loved him, and because he had
loved her. He had certainly loved
her once, or he could not have been
so kind and devoted. She had mar
ried him, and gone to housekeeping,
feeling sure that she was entering
upon an earthly heaven. For time
she had found as much joy as she
could desire but the light had faded,
and the joy had gone.
On this particular morning, Charles
Lenox had come for his breakfast, and
found no breakfast ready Bridget,
the hired girl, was not capable of get
ting breakfast alone. She had tried
it several times, and had sent to the
table such abominably prepared dishes
that Charles had declared he would
take his meals at the hotel before he
would submit to such culinary imposi-
ton.
And breakfast was not ready on
this morning because Della was not
up to superintend it.
Charles Lenox was clerk in a West
India goods and provision store, in a
thriving country village, receiving 9
fair salary, and accounted a valuable
man in the business-so valuable that
the owner was ready and anxious tc
give him partnership when he coul(
raise the money to pay for it. He
desired to be prompt at his post, anc
to this end it was necessary that he
should have his meals not only il
season, but regularly.
The husband had waited almost
half an hour when his wife finally
made her appearance in the kitchen
Of course he had become impatient
and tretlul, and as soon as he had op
portunity to speak without Bridget''
hearing, he told his belated helpmeet
that some way must be found for the
turning over of a new leaf.
81 cannot stand it, he said. 81 an
willing to bear much, but when il
comes to an unnecessary and injurious
interference with my business, it il
time that spoke.
Delia's face flushed, and her eyes
flashed. She considered herself {
mnch abused woman. If Bridge
could'not get breakfast, her husband
had better secure a servant who could
"But," said Charles, with grim dign
ity--he had never yet spoken harshl!
to his wife, and he had resolved tina
he never would if he could help it
"we do not hire a servant to take
charge of our household. That duty
is yours. The servant is your assist
ant, and it chould be yours to Civ
her guidance"
"You are very free in laying dowl
my duty for me-" retorted DELI

There is a Miss Fay, a missionary,
travelling in The West, who can take
care of her self under all circumstan-
ces. The other day while passing
along a very narrow sidewalk in Chic
ago, she saw before her a great lout of
a fellow who had "made a back" for
''leap-frog,' and not wishing to step
into the muddy street she made a short
run and took the leap in regular boy
style, landing some distance beyond
the human obstruction. This done
she moved gracefully away.

Rnsine.a Changes.

We understand that after the 1st of jan
uary next, Messrs. Cowan, McClung & Co.,
will not deal in groceries or drugs. This
change we hear is made necessary by their
increased trade which requires that their
attention and store room be given to the
remaining lines of goods which they
handle. They expect to Notwithstanding
this change to increase their business,
which is already the heaviest of any ono
house in the South.
The grocery and drug trade will hereaf
ter be concentrated in the hands of the
other wholesale houses, who are increas-
ing their stocks and store rooms fol- the in
creased business, which must come to
them. The year 1874, promises now to be
one of unexampled prosperity with our
Wholesale merchants, whose enterprise
and business sagacity is the pride of this
growing city. Nowhere in the South, do
merchants advertise more literally then
in Knoxville. One of the Senators of the

NO Rest for the "Pushers of the Queer
Two Leading Dealers brought TO Grief,

Two Leading Dealers brought TO Grief,
On the 23d Col. Bauer, the United States
detective, well known in this city, arrived
here with a man named John Evans,
from Whitley county, Kentucky, against
whom an indictment is pending in the
United States Circuit Court for dealing in
counterfeit money by the wholesale.
From Col. Bauer we learn that after he
left this place he proceeded to Kentucky,
in search Of this and one other man,
namely r. r, Morgan, he being in possess
sion of information sufficient in his opin-
ion of eliminating them. His first move
ment was to locate them, which he had
some trouble to do, as they both kept
away from their homes during
the sitting of the United States Circuit
Courts at Louisville and Covington, KY,
it being in session there about the same
time court was held in this city. Col.
Bauer having discovered their where
abouts, returned to Louisville and pro-
viding himself with the necessary papers,
and accompanied by Deputy Marshal
from Kentucky, proceeded to Whitley
county, KY, where these two men We're
engaged I'm business, and early one morn-
ing introduced themselves to their notice,
telling that they were wanted.
John, (alias jack, Evans is n miller by
occupation, and was then engaged in run
ming what is called the Loudon Mills, and
is charged with dealing largely in the
queer" having supplied some of the East
Tennessee dealers, and while thus engaged
sold Detective Dyer a quantity. A true
bill was found against him by the grand
jury at the last term of the u. S. Court. He
was brought here yesterday and turned
over to the jailOr, for the want of $4,000
bail.
X. II. Morgan, n merchant by occupa-
ton, kept store close to the Loudon
Mills, in Whitley county, and is said to be
one of the leaders, or wholesale dealers in
the queer" having sold by the thousand.
1t is said that he made regular tips
throughout East Tennessee, Virginia and
North Carolina, supplying all the minor
dealers with any quantity they might de-
sire. He had also dealt largely in the stuff
in his own State, hence it was not neces-
sary to bring him to Knoxville for trial.
He was taken to Louisville, Kentucky, and
there gave bond in the sum of ten thou
sand dollars for his appearance before the
next term of the United States Circuit
Court. Evans, the prisoner brought here
by Col. Bauer and the Deputy Marshal,
says he feels confident that he can also give
bond, but at last accounts no security had
appeared, and Sheriff Gossett will take care
of him until his friends arrive, if they ar
rive at all.
