The disturbances in Spain, thus
far, are less than we imagined would
develop. Barcelona has shown some
signs of trouble, but less from lack
OF Republicanism than from absence
OF some recognized leader to take
the place of the Monarchical Office
holders. AS soon as the Central
Government shall appoint officials,
we imagine that all turbulence will
be at an end, and the people orderly
and quiet.

Hnmors Of the TELEGRAPH.

Not long since a countryman came into
a telegraph Office in Bangor, Maine, with
q message and asked that 1t be sent immedi-
ately. The operator took the message as
usual, put his instrument in communica-
ton with its destination, licked off the
signals upon the key, and then, according
to the rule of the office, hung the message
paper on the hook with others that had
been previously sent, that at night they
might all be filed for preservation. The
man lounged around some time, evidently
unsatisfied. AT last" says the narrator
of the incident, his patience was exhaust
ed, and he belched out, Amt you going
to send that dispatch Z? The operator po-
litely informed him that he had sent it.
No, yer amt replied the indignant man;
there IL is now on the hook''n
Almost every operator meets with
equally amusing instances. One recently
related the following incident: IA gentle
man came to my office to send message,
and after writing it, waited, as people often
do at small offices, to see it sent. i called
Office and the operator at the other end
of the line came to the key and said, Busy
wait minute So leaned back in my
chair to wait, when the gentleman said,
Have you sent it?" l said, No; they say
they are busy-to wait minute;' where
upon he said, looking surprised, why, ]

Notes from the Warm Springs.

These springs, well known on account
of the magic properties OF their waters,
which are daily becoming more celebrated,
as the number of cures effected by them
becomes greater-are not resort Tor the
invalid alone; for, we all understand, in
valds, as we'll as other people, may have
pretty daughters, whom they bring with
them, and who of course have quantity
OF dashing young gentlemen following in
their train. These young ladies and gen
tlemen must amuse themselves, and every
facility to do so is given them by the genial,
polite and attentive proprietor. An excel
lent band is at their disposal, and assem-
bles every night in the large and commo-
dious ballroom, where it plays waltzes,
quadrilles and reels in a most indefatiga-
Die manner, while twenty and even thirty
couples are on the floor, gliding along in
enjoyment of the dance. The " German "
and Boston are great favorites, and it
is indeed q most beautiful sight to see so
many good dancers brought together.
Even those who do not dance find it a
treat to look on, and the crippled and sick
slide out of their easy-chairs and crowd
around the windows, on whose panes they
flatten their noses for hours, wrapt in mute
admiration of the scene.
There is long wide gallery, on which
the "spooney couples" promenade during
the intermissions. The soft silvery light
of the moon steals in upon them and
makes them sentimental, if they are not
so already. They talk in whispers, so one
can not hear them, but L believe one can
generally guess what they are saying.
Besides all this, there are beautiful
rambles in the woods; parties who go of
on picnics to romantic places, while other
parties stay at home and play croquet, ten.
pins and a variety of indoor games. Good
horses, can be procured by those who wish
to ride, and spring-wagons and ph@tons
by those who wish to drive, and Mr.. Hirsh
the proprietor of the livery stable, car
warrant his horses as having many good
points about them, even if they are not on
the turf at Saratoga. There is a splendid
piano (Steinway,) in the luxurious parlor
and the fairy fingers of the ladies, Otter
accompanied by their voices, produce
sweet strains of music to which all are
eager to listen.
Before L close this description of the
pleasures to be enjoyed at the Warm
Springs, must not forget to say that the
board is excellent, fresh venison and noun
tain trout often occupying a promnen
place at the table. a GUEST.

what AN Editor Says of Knoxville.

Mr.. c. b. Woodward, of the Sweetwater
Enterprise, visited Knoxville recently and
gathered quite different impressions from
those made upon the Chattanooga bum
mer, who saw nothing but empty store
rooms and deserted streets. The Enter
prise editor says:
We paid Knoxville q visit last Friday,
and visited nearly every part of the city,
and were pleased to find it in n better san
itary condition than we ever saw it before.
There was but little excitement about the
cholera in the city-the disease having
pretty well died out, and no new cases re-
ported. 1t is remarkable to observe the
progress Knoxville has made since the
war, and especially for the past three years.
| Improvements on every hand are visible,
| the citizens all alive to the interests of the
| city, and its business rapidly increasing.
| The newspapers of the city are doing well,
| if the appearance of their editors is any
criterian to go by. The Chronicle, though
run strictly in the interest of the Republi.
| can party, is one of the best daily newspa-
| pers in the State. 1t has good circula-
| ton among conservative men in our town
| who take il simply because they want the
news and not from any political preference
The Press and Herald is a good paper and
we are sorry to say that it is not getting q
very good patronage from our people
| The cause of this we are not able to de.
fine. The Press and Messenger has a good
circulation in the county, as also, the
| Weekly Chronicle.

HENRY WARD BEECHER in notice of
the late Methodist Centenary bestows upon
that religious denomination some we'll
merited praise. He says:
Considering what Methodism has come
to be in one century of growth, we are not
surprised that the denomination should in
dulge in self-gratulation. A hundred years
is a short period in the life of great re-
ligious movement. A centennial is like
the first return of baby's birthday-it is
the beginning of reckonings. And when
the youngest of religious denominations
finds that in its hundreds years it has out
stripped all its fellows with the odds
against it, little bit of rejoicing and even
of eXultation is natural enough. But the
true glory of the first century of Meth
odism in America lies not in the two mil.
lions of adherents attracted to its standard
so much as in what it has done for them.
Let the magnificent educational enter
prises of the denomination and the gen.
eral culture of its members bear witness to
the zeal and success with which Metho-
dism has lifted up the crude masses of peo-
pie converted by the preaching of her tire
less eYangelists. It is the bad taste OF
some Methodist people to try to hide the
illiteracy and poverty of the first genera
ton of those reached by Methodist preach
ing. But the Church has no such laurels
on her head as the glory of having labored
for the lowly in the first instance, and the
glory of having elevated them by her Ia

The Condition of the PIace-"As Safe as
Pixies Peak"


EDITORS CHRONICLE AS we have had
the benefit of a grand stampede and the
reputation of a cholera case, perhaps you
will permit the true state of affairs here to
go to the public. Your correspondent was
here during the "panic" and has the best
authority for saying that the melancholy
and unfortunate death of Miss Harriet Tate
was not produced by cholera, but well
developed and unmistakeable congestive
chill. While the "scaTen was in progress
no one stopped to inquire the cause or
symptoms of her case, but jumped at the
conclusion that the trouble was cholera,
aided thereto by the Misrepresentation of
certain parties who were making money
off the panic-stricken fugitives.
John Smith had the nearest complaint
to cholera that has occurred during the
season and it was nothing more than q Sc
we're bilious attack, from which he speed
lily recovered as soon as the liver was
cleansed of its aceumulations. This morn
ing he was out on horseback practicing for
the next tournament. He wants to have
q private interview with the man who re
ported him dead, as he thinks he could
convince that party that he is the Invest
man in Beams Station~Valley.

A City with Sixty Splendid Orchestras.


VIENNA OorrespOnuence baIIIMuIt hueIIvuH'I
There is no city in Europe in which
there are so many large bands of skilled
musicians as there are in Vienna. They
all number between fifty and sixty per-
formers, and there are not less than sixty
of as perfect orchestral bands as that of
Theodore Thomas. On Sunday afternoons
every garden around the city, even those
where the working classes resort, has one
or more of these bands in attendance, the
price of admission being from thirty to
fifty kreutzers, or from fifteen to twenty
five cents. They all perform operatic mu-
sic or some of the lively productions of
Strauss, and all classes seem to be equally
critical in their judgment of the character
of their performance.

Spain and the Hebrews.
KNOXVILLE, Ju

KNOXVILLE, July 30, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE In an article OF
this mornings issue headed "The Position
of Spainn you Justly remark, contrast
that proud era,with the present. and what
lesson it teaches !" Allow me to call the
attention of your readers to one lesson
which but very few will think of.
When Spain was at the pinnacle OF
wealth, greatness and glory, when the
'sun never set in her dominion" there
dwelt in it multitude of people descend
dents of the ancientHebrew race Possessed
not only of great wealth but also the rep
resentatiyes of arts and sciences, they
maintained thelmos renowned universities
and other seats of learning and the lustre
of their poets, philosophers, astronomers,
physicians thinkers, 'shed us retulgehce
even to our days"
AT once those hell-begotten twins, Finat-
acism and Avarice obtained the power and
control over the bigoted monarch and
from that time the doom of the unhappy
country was sealed. No other country on
the face of the earth exhibited such
cruel, blood-thilst y malignity against the
Jews-her best citiLens-as Spain did.
The heart sickens even now, after lapse
of near four hundred years, at the reading
of the fiendish, inhuman slaughter OF hum
dreds of thousands inoffensive human be-
ings at the Expulsion of the Jews !" at
the persecution, the torture ana the rake
the Holy Inquisition reserved Tor those
who embraced Christianity while unable
or unwilling to flee their native country;
Now, there is an old, very old
Book in existence which the Jews had
saved from the wreck of their nauonal
existence and since then circulated among
all civilized nations, we find narrated IN
that Book that heather prophet sent to
curse Israel was compelled by the Spirit OF
the Lord to utter: blessed is he that
blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth
thee" Does it not seem that this prophesy
finds its fulfllment in Spain as we'll as
many other prophesies contained in that
Book were fulfilled, and is not this a
grand lesson for nations to ponder upon
