SINCE THE WAR

General Kemper has been quietly en-
gagged in the practice of law at his old
home in Madison county, and has on
~ taken part in political strife in great
campaigns like those of 1869 and 1872.
As a canvasser for the Walker Ticket
he did yeoman service. In the Consar-
vative Convention of last year he made
the motion to instruct the delegates TO
vote for the ratification of Greeley and
Brown. and supported it in one Of the
most eloquen, efforts of his life. He
WAS then appointed President eleetor
at large on the Liberal ticket, and can
vassed the State with great effective
meas. He has always since the war
had no desire for political Office of any
kind, and it was only after great per-
suasion from friends in all parts of the
State that he allowed his name TO go
before the Convention.-RichDsoa'd

AN OLD TIME TEAMsTER.

He was an old teamster, and knew not
only every inch of road that led to the dis.
tant market town to which we were going,
but every landlord, groom, and bar-keeper
on the way. A man of such vast geographic
cal knowledge, and such extensive and in
teresting acquaintance with men, became
to me most important parsonage. When
he had amused himself long enough with
stories told to excite my imagination, lie
turned to me sharply and said:
"Boy, do you ever tell lies ?"
"Yes, sir" 1 answered, without hesita-
ton.
"You do? Then why didn't you lie
when asked you the question
"Because l never lie except to please peo-
ple," IIeplied.
"Oh! You are. one of the story tellers,
are you" he said, in tone of Sc
verify.
"Yes SIR"
swell, then, you ought to be fogged. If
1 had story telling boy would fog it out
of him. Truth, boy; always stand by the
truth! 1t was only this time last year that L
was carrying a load of goods down the
mountain for family the same as yours,
and there was a little boy who went with it
the same as you are going now. l was sure

He grew red in the face, audI charged him
with having some in bis pocket, He de-
clared he had none, and l said, I'VE shall
see what will come to liars. pitied him, for
knew something would happen. A strap
broke, and the horses started OF run, and
off went the boy. l stopped them as soon
as / could, ran back, and picked him I'D
insensible, with as handsome plug of to.
bacco in his pocket as you ever saw; and
the rascal had stolen it fr I'm bis grandmother.
Always speak the truth, my boy, always
speak the truth"
sand did you steal the tobacco from him?"
l asked.
"No, lad, took it and used it because l
knew it would hurt him, and couldn't bear
the thought of exposing him to his grand
mother"
"Do you think lying is worse than steal
ing?" asked.
"That is something we can't settle. To-
bacco is very preserving and cleansing to
the teeth, and l am Obliged to use it. Do
you see that little building we are coming
to? That is SHOWS store; and now, if you
are a boy that has any heart--any real heart
and If you have saved up a few pennies,
you will go in there and get stick Of candy
for yourself and plug of tobacco for me.
That would be the square thing for boy to
do who stands by the truth, and wants to do
good turn to man that helps him along"
and he looked me in the eye 80 steadily and
persuaslvely that resistance was impossible,
aud my poor little purse went back into my
pocket painfully empty of that which had
seemed like wealth.--HolldnGS -Arthur

Our Tobacco Trade.

r. F. NeVins, of the Cumberland Tobacco
Warehouse, has recently issued his annusl
tobacco circular, from which we make the
following extracts:
Our tobacco market, which has Just closed
its second season since the war, proved very
satisfactory to planters, wi h now and then
an exception. When we take into consider
alton the quality and character of much of
the tobacco sold in this market, Cumber-
land river especially, prised in too soft order,
pressed too heavy, badly assorted, deficient
in body, nondescript in character, we very
readily conclude our market, Nashville, is
equal, If not ahead of any other interior
market, and leave but small margin on
most grades between this and the seaboard.
This fact alone argues strongly in favor of
Nashville, as the best, most convenient,
and proper market for the planters and
those engaged In buying aud putting up In
the country. Our market is centrally To-
Gated, surrounded by good tobacco pro-
ducing country, possessing advantages and
facilities in the shipping inferior to none.
The rapid increase in way of receipts during
the season just ciosed, we eau but fstter
ourselves and all interested, that our mar
ket is destined to be a permanent and
settled one for all tobaccos accessible to it.,
We deem it unnecessary to 90 into a
lengthy essay regarding growing and man
agement of tobacco while in the hands of
planters, many of whom could tell us more
than we ever knew of the weed in its differ
ent stages. We will, however, make some
few suggestions regarding the preparation of
tobacco for market, which will not be new
to EXPERIENCED tobacco men,
l. IuassortiDg and stripping your tobacco,
you cannot be too cautious in observing
uniformity in size, color and length of bind,
2. In bulking your tobacco for the pre- IS,
be certain you have warm season for
striking it, packing even and smooth aud
heavy weighing it.
8. By all means, if possible, prise In the
same hogshead tobaccos Of same length,
color and grade.
4. Have your hogsheads of usual size.
Seasoned lumber of any kind, except poplar:
not more than 1900 to 1000 Tbs leaf; beayi.
or when lues and inferior leaf to the cask.
5. Avoid, what is becoming too custom
airy, packing short and inferior tobaccos on
outside and heads.
In observing the above, it is but self-evi-
dent all are benefited. Tobaccos will bring
more in any market. Your merchant can
more confidently and earnestly recommend
it, the purchaser hasn't any doubt and mis-
giving as to his tobacco So npling different
in another market, subjecting him to loss.
Purchasers interest has to be protected as
well as others. No msrket in anything can
be upheld and sustained without purcha.
sers.
Be particular to mark and number your
toba GO plainly. Full name, if convenient;
if not, initials full and plain. 80
