LET Us CONSIDER.

No argument is needed to show the most
casual observer or the most skeptical, that
the whole Southern country has been and
is still undergoing transition process.
This is especially so in Tennessee. 1t has
been more strikingly manifested in East
Tennessee, and still it is going on. The
whole South has been under cloud, grow
ing'out of the blighting influence of slave
ry. We havenot fully recovered from it yet.
We will not recover from it entirely in the
next quarter of century. It corrupted
the minds of Southern people on the all
important subject of labor. In this way it
crippled our energies and retarded our pro-
gress, by false and vicious public senti-
ment that would make labor degrading.
While other portions of the country were
working to elevate labor, the South was
imbued with the idea that it was ser
Witty.
But change has come over the spirit of
our dreams. Labor is justly regarded as
capital. The wealth Of country depends
upon its skilled labor. Manufactures can
not be operated without it, Railroads can
not be run without it. The commerce of
the land is dependent upon it. None of
the civilizing influences of the age could
or would prove of any service without
skilled labor to operate them. 1t lies at
the very foundation of our prosperity.
Capital must be used so as to encourage
and maintain labor. Unless so used it fails
to accomplish its legitimate ends and pur-
poses. Hoarded away, in banks or other
wise, it fails to accomplish this. Misers are
the most Improbable class of citizens.
Money is made to use for the public
good. Where this fact is realized and
practiced upon, prosperity is certain to fol-
low. 1t is knowledge of these things that
ispushing forward improvements so rapid
ly in some portions of East Tennessee.
Wherever old fogyism gives way to pro
gressive men, it shows for itself, Just as
well try to hide the city that is set upon
a hill as to conceal the difference between
progress and fogyism. The latter would
adorn the public streets of our cities in a
few years with luxuriant crops of dog fen.
nel-take the iron from our railroads and
start the stage coach of the olden time
let telegraph post rot down, see the wires
broken to pieces and fill our institutions of
learning with bats and owls The former
would build blast furnaces and rolling
mills, multiply railroad lines, improve
rivers, and set all our streams to driving
machinery furnishing employment to
multiplied thousands of operatives and
bringing untold wealth.
The community that fails to realize these
things will fall behind. Energy and en-

enterprise can not fail to produce wonders.
They are better than natural advantages.
Floods can not drown them. Fire can not
destroy them. Financial commissions may
affect, them but not seriously. Behold
Chattanooga! Since the war il has met
disaster after disaster, and to-day is more
prosperous than before. The capital of
Chattanooga consists largely in the enter
prise and energy of her people. We.have
more capital in Knoxville, but how are we
using it? Are we giving all the encour-
agement possible to such enterprise as will
assure us wealth and population Are we
showing as much interest in obtaining
additional competing railroad lines as we
should? Do we properly realize the inn
portance of prompt and vigorous action to
maintain our position among other cities
of the State? Are we fully alive to the
important crisis in our history which we
have evidently reached Are we willing
to stand still when we might just as well
go forward It is not too late, if we will
only make the proper effort, but who will
undertake to say, that ten, or even tUe
years hence, will be time enough for
Knoxville to wake up and retrieve her for
tunes !? We are not alarmists. We have
bright hopes for the future of Knoxville.
Our advantages are great. But if Knox
vile is to continue in the beaten paths of
that old fogyism which has hung like
milestone around her neck in the past, she
can never occupy the position she is en-
titled to occupy among Southern cities.
Immigrants are coming to East Tennessee
by every train. They are coming from the
North and from Europe. They bring their
capital and their skill. They prove source
of wealth to the community in which they
settle. What are we doing or what are we
going to do to secure this wealth These
are questions we will do well to consider
promptly.

The Montreal Witness gives short biog-
raphy of John Il. Drew, Esq, most of the
statements will probably be news to that
gentleman. 1t says:
Mr.. Drew is own nephew to "Uncle Dan
iel," whom he resembles both in physiogno-
my and genius, but to whom he is not sup
posed to be otherwise indebted. This is the
gentleman whose name appears as II sub
scribcr to the stock of the Mississquoi and
Black River Valley Railway, of portion
so large and mysteriously referred TO that
it has provoked inquiry on our part as well
as on that of others. We are informed that
Mr.. Drew, as a young man, was some eight
years ago tutor in st. Francis College,
Richmond: that having studied law, lie left
this city for Washington, armed with a com
mission to correspond for n morning paper,
There he fell on his feet in promoting the
passage of some measure with money in it,
and his first professional fee amounted to
many thousands. Since then he has been
more than once to Europe, placing loans
for national enterprises, and has been en-
ployed in similar capacity by certain Old
World governments. BY these means he
has rapidly accumulated wealth.

ISOihering the PhysiOIogist.

The New York T,'iJuHe thus facotiousy
comments on an interesting item which
was copied by us recently from the Rich
ford Sentiael There is an old gentleman
in Berkshire, VT, who is doing his hest to
bother the Psychologists. His years are
four score, and for some time he has been
bald at the top with n neat fringe of per-
tectly white hair. He has used no rcstora-
lives or kathairons or invigorators, but n
beautiful black crop of hair has sprung
from the smooth surface of his Uranium.
This alone would constitute him one of the
principal phenomena of the nineteenth CEN
fury but this is by no means all. Though
he has been long molarless and incsorless,
he has lately cut three elegant teeth, so
that ''redolent of joy and youth the gales
of the Green Mountains seems to have
breathed for him ga second Spring" But
now comes the most astonishing part OF the
story and we are sure that we don't know
what the tectotallers will say when they
will hear it, For we are going to announce
that the rejuvenated Labelle has all his long
life been reckless imbiber, regular hard
drinkcr, yotary OF the morning cocktail
and of the evening night-cap. This may
account for his having become hairless and
toothlcss but what is to account for his
miraculous new locks and recent worries
It's mystery and in the present dark state
Of the case we are not prepared to say that
btters are good for badness or 'tods" foi
toOthlessness. In fact, we are not prcpar-
ed to say anything more about it.

BIRTHDAY ANNIvERsARY AND WHAT
TRANsrIRED.-M Mr.. Myron Ticknor was
forty years of age on Friday, but he did
not anticipate making any very great to-io
over the event. His good lady, however,
proposed not to let the occasion pass un-
noted. So, without notifying her husband,
she invited some friends to call that night,
and score or more accepted. A fine col
lation, plenty of wine and good cheer greet
ed them. Mr.. Ticknor was surprised, yet
d delighted. Especially was he pleased with
the magnificent boquet of choicest flowers,
fresh as if just plucked with the mornings
dew upon them, which thoughtful friends
upon the Hudson (?) had sent him. Upon
a card was tastefully inscribed; "We re-
member--Hope Cottage" The good things
discussed, Mr.. Caleb Ticknor, in fitting
words, presented his brother with hat.
The recipient, on call, returned thanks in
suitable remarks. Colonel Slavback, in
well-chosen language, also desired to make
his host present on the suspicious occa-
sion he therefore presented him with hat.
Mr.. Ticknor again returned thanks. Mr..
Pearce, the wholesale halter, likewise wish
ed to show his good will, and presented his
host with hat. More thanks, Judge ].

The western end Of the range of hills
which runs the entire length of Long Island
is thickly wooded, and the land has been
little cultivated, so that wild forest land lies
within about fifteen miles of New Y DIRK city.
The larger species Of wild game have been
driven back by the sportsmen who have
found u convenient shooting ground IN the
vicinity of Ncwtown and Jamaica, but
within the last three years new KIND OF
wild animal has found in the businesses OF
the hills convenient lars and wcll-stocked
larders in the cattle and pig-pcns OF inc
ncighboring farms :,
In Ncwtown some three years ago, dwelt
a number of German families, and among
the treasuers they had brought from iath-
crlond were four Siberian boodhounds, ono
female and three males These dogs were
nngIcctcd and allowed TO do their own for
noinc until they became Independent of their

sth You Will find fewer OF them among the
old stock OF dealers, as they sell better than
