THE AMATEURS AT TRINITY CENTER.
Bills have been printed and circulated
for the Amateurs performance Of Trinity
Center, on Tuesday, the Goth inst. In
speaking of the affair last week, we re-
marked that the troupe would give their
first performance for the benefit Of Mrs.
Coyle. AS people might draw a wrong
inference from the remark, we will state
here that the ball and supper will be Civ
en- at the Trinity Center Hotel, which is
under Mrs. Coyle's management, and
that the Amateurs, with the intention Of
having general good time" proposed to
unite their performance with the ball and
let the price of tickets include admission
to both, to those who desired to dance.
Our attention has been called to the mat
ter by n note from Trinity Center friend
who points out the inference which may
be drawn from the remark. We here
take occasion to disclaim, both on our
own behalf and on that of the "Ama-
tours" any intention of leaving an i'm
preston that the lady mentioned has
sought, expected or needs any benefit"
than such a one rs comes in the natural
and legitimate line of her business.

The Wear and Tear Of Life.

The cares, anxietes and misfortune5 of
life have as much to do with shortening
it as disease. They are in fact the source
Of many ailments and physical disabili-
ties. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, at
tections of the liver, disturbances of the
bowels, headache, hypochondria and
monomania are among these distressing
fruits. 1t is therefore, Of great import
ance that persons whose minds are op-
pressed with heavy business responsible
ties, or harassed by family troubles, or
excited by speculation, or porpleXed by a
multiplicity Of enterprises, or in any way
overtaxed or overworked, should keep up
their stamina by the daily use of whloe-
some tonic. Thousands of persons thus
against the difficulties in which they are
involved, and to retain their strength,
health and mental clearness, by the reg
lar use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
Diseases which are prone to attack the
body when debilitated and broken down
by over much brain work or eXhausting
physical labor, are kept at bay by the re-
sistant power with which this incompara-
bic tonic ondows the nervous systems and
the vital organs. At this season, when
the heat is evaporating the elements Of
strength from every pore, an invigorant
is absolutely essential to the safety and
comfort of the public, and is required
even by the more robust if they desire to
keep their athletic capabilities in status
quo. Hence Il course of Hostetter's Bit
ters is particularly useful at this period
of the year as a defense against the in
visible disease a1oat in n sultry atmos-
phere. 1t is the most potent Of all pre-
ventve medicines, and for all complaints
which affect the stomach, the liver and
bowels, and interfere with the perfect di-
gestion and assimilation Of food, it is the
standard remedy. augS.

who are not so favored, as an amanucn-

Irish crony, and enclosed some small
specimens which he had dug out Of his

SAD DEATH OF AN OLD TRINITARIAN.
BY n letter from John Schuyler, written
at Helmwood, Jewell Co., Kansas, under
date of Aug. 11th, we are informed that
+. j. Miller, for many years n resident
of Weaverville, was instantly killed at
that place two days before, by the eXplo-
sion of steam boiler connected with the
saw and grist mill, in which Miller was
employed. The cause OF the explosion
was unknown. There were about fifteen
other persons at work within thirty feet
at the time of the explosion, by miracle
no other lives Were lost, and only one
other person was in any way injured and
he but slightly. Mr.. Miller was a resi-
dent of Weavcrvillc for several years,
leaving here for his former home in the
East in the Fall of 1869. He left many
friends behind who will hear the tidings
of his unexpected death with heartfelt sor-

LIST OF LETTERS

YE FISHERMEN, - Our junior is an
enthusiastic disciple Of 1zaak Walton,
and possesses withal, an epicurean fond
ness for mountain trout. Thus it followed
that when our devil boastcd Of his know
ledge of crystal brooks where the MUIR
muring water leaped and dashed in the
glad sunshine, he found ready listener.
1t did not take long to ''enthuse" a hungry
looking timer who also has penchant
for fried trout, and the pair decided to go
fishing and take the devil along for a
guide. The party disdained the use of
such primitive implements as hooks and
lines, but took along a pick, shovel and
pan. The modus operandt intended was
to dam the water from certain holes
where trout we're wont to congregate,
bail them out, when the fnny tribe would
be left at the mercy Of their pursuers.
Sunday afternoon was powerful warm,
but the ardor Of the fishermen was at 1e-
yer heat as they started forth. They
went and commenced operations. They
dug channels long and deep to drain the
aforesaid holes, and they damned the
stream to facilitate their enterprise. They
are ding yet, but it is the 'devil'
and not the stream. The result of the
expedition can be summed up thusly :
Profits four small trout and two pairs Of
blistered hands. Losses watch key
and gold stud.

CANON CREEK We were at Canon
Creek on the occasion Of Gilzean's party
on the 10Th inst, for the first time in sew
eral years. Canon Creek is one of the
'heavy" mining camps Of this county,
the claims now being worked are gener-
ally deep banks of heavy gravel and rcd
loan. Red Flat seems to be the present
center of mining there, and from what
we could learn, the outlook for mining
next Winter seems very favorable. Mr..
Depinett, who has kept the trading post
on the creek for some years past, has been
engaged in fitting up an old claim for
about year, and the indications are that
it will pay well. Dcpinett has disposed
of his establishment to NJ. Lang, of this
place and will devote his time to working
the claim. Mr.. Personnctte will clerk
for Lang, when he takes possession. The
ball ut Gilzean's was well attended and
dancing kept up with great spirit until
daylight. The road from Canon City to
Junction City is kept in excellent order,
and is n monument to the enterprise and
energy of the people of Canon City, by
whom it was built.

Anything to Hit Grant.

The Hartford Post thus refers to COM
ments of a portion of the Democratic press
on the message of President Grant:
The New York World aud other Demo
cratic guardians of revealed truth are sneer-
ing at President Grants expression of be-
lief that Our Great Makers preparing the
world in His own good time to become
one nation, speaking one language, and
when armies and navies will no longer be
required Counting it their mission to
abuse some oppressed race all the time,
they insist that the picture of the General
Judgment in the book of Revelation, as
including all nations, and both bond and
free, shuts out the possibility that there
snail ever be time Of universal brother
MOOD and peace on earth ; and they par
tlcularly scout the idea of one language for
all. But President Grant is on the side of
inspired prophecy in his prediction, for the
declarations stand: "And it shalleome to
pass in the last days that the mountain of
the Lords house be established on the
tops of the mountains, and shall be exalt-
ed above the hills and all nations shall
flow unto it; for out of Zion shall 60 forth
the law, and the word of the Lord from
jerusalem" "For then will turn to the
people pure language, that they may all
call upon the name OF the Lord, to serve
him with one CONSENT Nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more" But even Bible
truth must be denied when quoted by a
republican President. Anything to hit

FOR ALL OF Us.

The most populous and prosperous cities
are not always those enjoying the greatest
natural advantages. Public spirit enter
prise and capital will overcome serious nat
ural obstacles and build cities and States
when nature never favored their location.
Cities of hundred thousand population
have been built in ten years in places al
fording not one tenth the advantages
Knoxville possesses. Men in East Ten
nessee have grown grey, talking eloquent
ly and beautifully about our 'cloud cap
ped mountains" - crystal streams"
genial climate " and undevel-
oped resources" their section all the
while either actually retrograding or
standing still, while more enterprising,
active, energetic population have dotted,
barren plains and sterile valleys, with
prosperous cities through their untiring
efforts and indomitable purpose. 1t Is
time we were learning that we can not
make a city here, by talk alone. We have
the capital and talents in appropriation to
make Knoxville, as busy with the hum of
industry and as thriving with substan-
tial, every day growth, as Pittsburgh
or CleveEand. We can not do this
however, by buncombe. We need action
rather than talk. We need 10 give money
rather than speeches, if we expect to sue
coed. We have written to this effect many
times before, but we intend to keep on agi-
Eating until practical results follow. Men
who have money and are misery with it
must be made to feel that the public prop
erly estimate them. Men who hold
property at extortionate prices to cripple
the growth of the city are as mean and
dangerous as those who lay siege
to the public treasury and plumber the
people of their taxes. Those who have
profited by trade and speculation owe it to
the public from whom they derive their
wealth to give that public some return by
literally aiding legitimate enterprises cal
culated to promote the public good. The
citizen who never thus aids the public is
a miser and an migrate. @i3 .'- ~
Knoxville is now deeply interested in
securing the location of the proposed
Southern Methodist University. It is
useless to dwell upon the advantages we
could derive from it. 1t will pay back
a hundred fold every dollar we
give it. If we lose this University we
throw away great opportunity, Local
pride, public spirit, akeen appreciation of
a bargain, desire to promote the great
educational and moral interests of the
commonwealth, all, should urge our citi-
zens to subscribe literally to this cause.
We hope to be able to report such success
in the efforts of heFinance Committee, as
will at once secure us great financial and
educational advantages and advertise our
city abroad as the growing, enterprising
and successful city of the South.
