WASHINGTON, November 16.-There
is nothing new in official circles con-
cerning the Virginius, no kilograms
having been received by the secretary
of state since those mentioned in Fri
day evenings dispatches, and the
kilograms received from General
Sickles since that time merely
acknowledged the receipt of late in
structions. The conference between
General Sickels aud the Spanish min
lister for foreign affairs will probably take
place early this week, and the result will
be promptly reported to Secretary Fish

From Our Special Correspondent
BARTLETT, Tenn, November IA, 1873.
The Bartlett circuIt-court met on Mon
day, the tenth, and proceeded to busi-
ness, with large docket, both civil aud
criminal. The charge of Judge J. f. r.
Ray to the grsnd-jury was, as usual,
able, clear, and sufficient. The grand
iury is composed as follows: Henry d.
Douglass, foreman; c. G. Polk, c. G.
Galloway, Amos Rosrk, n. J. Justice,
William II. Watson, James w. King,
J. w. Bond, DIR. A. Beatty, w. g..
Brooks, w. B. Hines, George H
Vasser, Thomas Ethridge. w. F.
Price is the sworn officer in
charge of the jury. Our efficient and
courteous attorney-general, A. NJ. Ste
vens, is on hand, multiplying indict-
ments against evil-doers, He is a Wig
orous and able prosecutor, yet always
fair, and always charitable, as well as
highly successful. Our clerk, John Nc
Brooks, never fails to give prompt atten-
ton to his business, with as thorough a
knowledge of it, and as much satisfac-
ton as any other officer in Shelby coun-
ty. He is a resident citizen of Bartlett,
and one of whom we feel proud, both
for his social qualities and his many
charitable and good deeds. The depu-
ty-sherif, j. H. Murray, who waits
upon and does the sheriff. business fol
the court, is one of the best and most
reliable. We need say nothing more Of
him, by way of commentator, in the
discharge OF his difficult and arduou:
duties. Next week is assigned tC
the February docket. This will
probably bring a number OF the
Memphis attorneys here. The
principal cases to be tried are
State rs Tapp Scott, larceny; State W
J. r. Austin, larcency: State VS. William
Moses, larceny; State VS. Charles COunce
assault to murder; State VS. Charles
Counce, malicious trespass; State v

Some fathers seem to think that when
they have given their children fine edu-
cation and good start in life, they have
fully done their duty, and nothing more
Is to be required Of them. That is a
mistake fertile in sorrowful consequences.
There is no time SO anxious BY critical as
those years of unwisdom and inexperiepce
as the few which procede the indiscreet
time when we come to years of discre-
ton To the young man out in the
world you must make home and HOLIDAYS
as cheerful and beloved as possible; that
such should be the case, with to voung
woman is the very life of her life. like
1t not that the young man should settle
all his plans in life. and do his wooing to
his future bride, before he SAYS one word
to his father; and that the maiden
should yield her assent unknown to her
mother. Yet this will assuredly be the
case unless you have won your SON :
confidence and intimacy and love. And
these feelings will not come unless they
are sought for and elected. There is
such width Of years between you, some
thing so authoritative and magisterial
about the parental character, that there
Is often great shyness between father
and son; but still that blessed relation.
ship OF fatherhood is something Infinite
ly grander and deeper than all harsher
and more formal associates. Where
there are tried tenderness and sympathy.
there will be the truest, deepest friend
ship between pareut and child. 1t is
this prudent, loving guidance that will
give the son help in the most hazardous
years of life. and which will come back
on the father heart, in food of love
and comfort.

THE Iowa On WELL. The oil well
near Sayloryile was opened on FRIDAY,
and an auger inserted into the old CAVITY.
After boring little. the auger dropped
between six and seven feet, thus deyelo-
ping vacuum of that depth. An inch
pipe was then inserted in the cavity, and
moment after water and oil issued from
the end ofthe pipe with such force as to
throw 1t twenty feet above the mouth of
the shaft. A tank is being built, and
more pipe will be added to carry the oil
aud water to the tank Then the
practical test of oil will be made. When
re-opened the gas made fully as loud a
noise as when first opened, ard was
plainly heard half a mile distant, and the
ground shook and trembIed fer some
rods about the we'll. The we'll is exciting
great interest in this part of the state,
and hundreds visit it daily. The bottom
OF the shaft is $50 feet below the prairie,
and fifteen feet below the bottom of the
DesMoines River.

Fight With California lion

The Trinity Journal, of March 1st. re-
Iates this occurrence John Day, whose
adventure with a bear we detailed week
before last, recently fell in with a Cali
fornia hon and fought him singIe-handed.
under the most exciting circumstances.
Tuesday of last week Day was hunting
IN the mountains back of Steiner's Flat
The dogs brought something to BAY hicl,
up on the mountain side. Supposing
the game to be lynx or wildcat, he
made his way to the spot guided by the
noise OF the dogs. Before reaching the
dogs the mountain became so steep
that it was with the greatest difficulty he
made the ascent. Finally he arrived vt
the place, and found an almost level spot
upon which to stand. Casting his ewes
upward, he beheld upon cliff of rocks.

California Lion, crouehed and angry
Our hero lost no time, but leveled his
rifle at the animals head Growing with
rage and pain, the Infatuated beast sprang
down, full of fight and fury. and the
hunter found himself PROSTATE beneath
hls savage antagonist. His gun was
knocked out of his hands and went slid
ing down the precipitous slope. He had
butcher-knife but that was in his boot
and, unfortunately, he had a pair of over
ais over all. There was, luckily. a hole
IN the overalls, through which he sue
eeeded IN getting his hand and got his
knife. He struck the brute in the head
with the knife the first time, but the skin
was so tough and wrinkled that the knife
failed to penetrate. The second time he
stabbed the animal near the small of the
back. Uttering most unearthly veil.
the animal bounded away. Dav imme-
dlately regained his feet and found HIM

stopped. His rifle being between
him and the lion, Day went for his gun.
After getting 1t, SO steep was the ground
he could not keep his footing. but went
slipping and sliding until he was almost
upon his foe. But the lion had no desire
to renew the conflict, and when he saw
the enemy descending upon him, he
started for the mountains upon the op-
posIte side, screaming worse than any fe-
male ever created. Single-handed. no
man is match for fuIl-grown Califor-
MA hon, but Day was decidedly in luck.

prove fatal The hon somehow had lost
one of his forepavs-perhaps IN a trap.
This prevented it from using its forefeet.
and likely discouraged Ii. Days bullet

Day received were in the shoulder, IN
1leted by the lyons upper jaw in his f1,-

unable to strike OF bite, doubtless con-

ton the better part of vaIor.

How MUCH?-There is a sufficient
quantity of fermented and distilled
liquors used in the Tn ted States in one
year to fill a canal four FEET deep. fouteer
feet wide, and one hundred and twenty
miles in lenght. The places where intox-
icating drinks are made and sold in the
country. if placed in rows in direct lines,
would make a street one hundred miles in
length If the victims of the rum traffic
we're there also, we should see suicide at
every mile, and thousand funerals day.
IL the druukards Of America could be
placed in a procession, FIVE abreast, they
would make an army one hundred miles
in length. What an army of victims
Every hour in the night the heavens are
Zig hted with the incendary torch of the

earth is stained with the blood shed by
drunken assassins.
See the great army of inebriates, more
than a million strong, marching on to
sure and swift destruction-fling off
rapidly into the poor houses and prisons,
and on to the scafald and yet the ranks
are constantly filled by the moderate
drinkers. Who can compute the fortunes
squandered. the hopes crushed. the
hearts broken, the homes made desolate,
by drunk enness?-. Selected.
