DEAR SIR-Replyiug TO your note
of inquiry as TO the condition of the
fund, supposed to be in the Treasury,
arising from sales Of lands bid off for
taxes IN name of Treasurer, for the
benefit of common schools, / would
say that there is no such fund on
hand. The cost of making these
sales, so far, largely exceeds the re-
demptions, and as I understand the
law, 1t would be only the excess over
and above taxes and costs, that would
go to the "school fund" If the Com
missioneTs appointed by act of the
Legislature, should sell the lands bid
off as above, prior to 1871, for more
than the taxes and costs, then this
excess would belong to that fund.-
Every county has its commissioner,
who has complete lists of these sales,
and until these various commission
ers make final settlements, there is no
way, that l know of, of estimating the
sum, if any at all, that Will be due the
school fund. The indications now are
that the court costs will leave no sur
plus after the tax claims of county
and State have been satisfied.
Very truly,
W. MORROW Trpas'r

IMPORTANT Fleming, State

10 be approved by the County Court
of his county, in double the amount

This bond is in addition TO the rcgu-
lar official bond Of the Trustee, and,
until given by the Trustee, he cannot
collect from the Treasurer of the State
school moneys that may be apportiOn-
ed to his county.
The purpose of this note is ts call
your special attention to this matter,
with the suggestion that YOU make
immediate inquiry regarding the
school bond Of your County Trustee.
If none has been executed, il viii be
we'll to have it prepared ut once, so

ber term of the Court. This may be-
come a question of grave importance,
and merits prompt attention.

cordance with the 44th section of the

Ia tabular statement of the agri-
cultural products of the several
States, which we find in the National
Crop Reporter, Tennessee plays no
iuconsiderable part. Leaving out the
essentially southern product of cot
ton, Of which we raised in 1870, Isl, =
s42 bales, we show for that year:
Spring Wheat, bushels 375, 400
Winter Wheat, '' ...... 5,Sl3,5l6 9
Corn, fl, ,3i3, Oh
Oats, .-.... 4,5l3,3l5
Hay, tons .--.. -..---- llo, D.
Tobacco, pounds .....--. .2l, 465, ,4o2
Swine, head. d..-....---... l,o2S,6OO
This exhibition viii doubtless sur
prise our readers, especially when it
Is shown, as il is by the Reporter,
that 0ur Weld Of Spring wheat is IS =
O72 bushels more than Pennsylvania
raised, aud that while she exceeds us
by several million bushels IN her
weld of lgEissteF wheat, No beat her
s ,64l SOS bushels in our yield of corn
for that year. Weleaye her far in the
rear in the production Of tobacco, Of
which we raised 81 ,i6j, 452 pounds TO
her 8, ,i67, ,539 pounds Ia 1870, being
an excess IN favor OF Tennessee of
Il, ,997, ,9l3 pounds. In the production
of oats she is again away ahead OF US
by more than so, 600, 600 bushels, aud
her hay crop for the same year cx-
ceeded ours by more than two and a
half millions Of tons, but we beat her
in the hog raising business 10y nearly
a million head of swine, showing
!, ,s2S, 600 TO her S67, ,j4S head. Now,
il our readers will bear in mind that
Pennsylvania manages to consume
nearly all her wheat, corn, hay and
pork, and smokes away what little
tobacco she raises, she will not occu-
py so very superior a position, agri-
10 Tennessee, which pro
dHces quite a. much of the bread
stuns, relatively TO her population as
the old Quaker State, and has Isl ,S42
bales of cotton, which Pennsylvania
does not produce. Give as the popu-
latiou of Pennsylvania, and give our
coal and iron mines half the chance of
those Of that State, and We will show
an annual statement which viii make
our friends on the banks of the Ale
yhany and Delaware touch their bea-
yers to Tennessee Appeal.

WOMANLY MoDEsTY.-Man loves
the mysterious. A cloudless sky,
the full-blowu rose leaves him 'un-
moved; but the violet which hides
its blushing beauties behind the
bush and the moon, when she emer-
ges from behind a cloud, are to
him a source of inspiration and
pleasure. ModestY is TO merit,
what shade is to figure in painting;
it gives it boldness aud prominence.
Nothing adds more to female beau.
ty than modesty; it sheds around
the countcnance u halo of light
which is borrowed from virtue
Botanists have given the rosy hue
which tinges the cup of the rose
the name of "maiden blush" This
pure and delicate hue is the only
paint that Christian virtue should
use; it is the richest ornament. A
woman without modesty is like a
faded flower, which the prudent
gardner will throw away from him.
Her destiny Is melancholy, for it
ends in shame and repentance
Beauty passes like the flower of the
aloe, which blooms and dies in a
few hours, but modesty gives the
female character charms which sup.
plies the place of the transitory
freshness of youth.

A CURE FOR SELFIsHNEss.-''M My
dear SanchO," said my aunt, ''no
man ever became good or great who
was very fond of himself; good and
great men live for others. Look
there, my boys and turned my eyes
to fine copy of Rubens' Descent
from the Gross" to-which she point
ed. ''The son of God" said she,
"oame down to live and die for 9th
ers." This argument L did under
stand and Lean truly say that thro'
nv long life, whenever have wanted
a cure for selfishness 1 have found
nothing so efficacious as following my
Aunt Rachers advice. A hundred
times, at least, when self has been
getting the better Of nobler considera-
tiOns, her "Look there, my boy" has
sounded in my ears. l have looked
with my minds eye at the picture,
and said, ''It is impossible to be n
follower Of Christ, and to be selfish. e"

u CIyILITY.-Apart from its worth
as an agreeable trait Of character,
civility is q valuable commodity
Every one who has business to
transact should add civility to his
stock IN trade 1t costs nothing,
while it vastly facilitates trade and
profit. There are business men and
women who make fortunes simply
by civility. Their wares or their
services are no better probably
than the stock in trade of their
erusty neighbOrs. But, having IN
dertalben 4 business, or adopted a
profession, they arc wise enough to,
know that whatever is TO be done
successfully must be done with a
good grace and with 4 good will
They do not show by their beha-
Fior tnat they consider every body
an intruder, but act in the persua-
sion that everybody may be made
Friendly. They do not treat pee
pie as though they were IN a hurry
Co be dnnoL+Eith thoAl mt Ofeee aud
forever, but as though even casu-
al caller may be cultivated INTO an
acquaintance and made q constant
customer. To neglect the small
courtesies of life is to insure neglect
for yourself. And the reasOn that
some persons are successful is that
they invite strangers to become
friends by civility, while the others
rcpcl even friends by the want of
courtesy.

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.-One
Of the most inconceivabic things in
the nature Of the brain is that, al
though the organ of sensation, it
should itself be insensiblc. To cut
the brain gives no pain; yet in the
brain resides the power Of feeling
pain IN any part OF the body. If
tho nerve which leads to it from
the injured part be divided, we be-
come instantly unconscious of suf-
fering. 1t is only by communica-
ton with the brain that any kind
Of sensation is produced; yet the
organ is itself insensiblc. But
there is 4 circumstance more won
dcrful still. A certain portion of
the brain itself may be removed
without destroying life. The ami
NAL lives and performs all those
functions which are necessary to
simple vitality, but it has no longer
a mind. 1t cannot think or feel
1t requires that the food should be
pushed into its stomach; once there
1t Is digestcd, and the animal will
even thrive and grow fat We in
fer, therefore, that part of the
brain is simply intended for the ex-
ercise of the intellectual faculties,
whether of the lower degree, called
instinct, or of that exalted kind be-
slowed on man, called reason.

OUR BREADsTUFFs.-Adviccs from
Europe indicate a heavy demand for
our breadstuffs. Indeed the demand
will exceed our ability to supply, for
Notwithstanding our unusually large
wheat crop, we cannot meet the wants
of France and England, who have a
deficiency of 100000 bushels of
wheat. In 1870 we sent to Europe
IS, 900, 600 bushels of wheat in 1871.
q, 900, 600; and In 1872, 10000, ,000.-
It is estimated that for the year end
ing June, 1874, we cannot send over
80, 100000 bushels. But of a probable
production of 800, 900, 900 bushels of
corn. it is believed that the demand
for breadstuffs can be supplied
These figures indicate a good price for
wheat and corn, which will be good
news to producers, and a pretty
effectual check to panics.

The Nashville Journal Of Com
merce, in speaking of the Financial
Panic, says:
Never has there been In the history
of our country as causeless n none
tary crisis as the one through which
we are just passing. Calmly looking
over the whole field, we do think
there is little cause for alarm. The
agricultural interests of the country
were never in a more prosperous con-
dition. The country is literally full
of produce of all kinds-wheat, corn,
and cotton; and our manufacturing
interests have, during the whole year,
been doing a safe and profitable busi-
ness and while a few banks and
stockholders have been gambling in
impossible railways and fancy stocks,
vet their number has been SO small
comBared with the institutions doing
a legitimate business, Te cannot con-
ceive that the panic can effect trade
for any great length of time. In fact,
outside of the few venturesome
banks, there has been no cause for
general suspension of any of OuI
banks, except that of the distrust OF
some of their depOsitors, and the peo-
pie have the matter in their OWL
hands. Prudence and ordinary com.
mon sense on the part of the people
will soon enable our banks to resume
regular business. Faith, forbearAnce
and the exercise Of patience, is what
is now required on the part of the
people to save them from Disaster
At the same timG we ought to insis
that rigid inquiry should be mad,
into our financial system. Our owl
impression is that we have not sufi
cient volume of currency to carry OF
/ the legitimate trade of the country
That such a widespread suspension
should take place in time of sucl
general prosperity is, we think, suffi
cient proof of this for, while we con
tend that our banks are general,
/ solvent and safe, the fact that the,
are so dependent upon popular conf
/ dence, shows that they are doinj
business upon too contracted a cur
rency. We know that, as near as
can be estimated, the whole currenc
in Tennessee only amounts to abou
50 per head. This, all will admit,
too weak motive power to move on
values.
