THE CAPITOL GROUNDS.

1t will be gratifying not only to the citi-
zens of Nashville, but indeed to the people
of the State, that bill passed its last read
ing in the Legislature yesterday, by which
the Commissioners, the Governor and
others, who have control of the improve
ment of the Capitol grounds, can use the
penitentiary force to any extent to complete
the work around the Capitol at the earliest
practicable day. That uncouth hill has
been an eye-sore to every visitor for long
years. We now have prospect of having
it made "s thing of beauty" the boast and
pride of every Tennesseean. We owe
thanks to the Legislature for this act of
Justice to the State, if thanks can be due
for simple Justice. Let the work proceed.

HOW A QUAKEREss STOPPED
RnRRAWTEG

The subject of borrowing and lending
came up in the course of q conversation
with gentleman living near Ithaca, New
York, when he had suddenly recollected a
funny "Reminiscences of that character which
had happened in his own neighborhood.
He said he had neighbOr whose family
were great borrowers, but not 50 distin-
guished as paymasters-they were always
borrowing, but seldom if ever returning
the exact amount borrowed. An old Qua
ker lady, another neighbor, who had endur..
ed these invasions for long time patient.
ly, hit upon very philosophical mode of
eventually putting stop to the nuisance.
Keeping her own counsel, the next time
her good man went to town he had
a separate and express order to purchase a
pound OF the best tea, and also new can
ister to put it in. As he knew she already
had plenty of tea and also canister, he
was puzzled to determine what the old LADY
wanted of more tea and new canister,
but his questioning and reasonings elected
nothing moe than repetition of the order.
"Jim, did Inot tell theIto get me pound
OF the best tea and a canister? Nov 90
along and do as l bid thee"
And go along he did, and when he came
home at night the tea AMI new canister
were his companions. The old lady took
them from him with an amused expression
on her usually placid features, and depos-
iting the Tea in the canister set it on the
shelf for special use. It had not long to
wait, for the borrowing neighbor had fire.
quent use for the aromatic herb. The old
lady loaned generously, emptying back into
the canister any remittance of borrowed
teas which the neighbours conscience inclin-
ed to mak9. Time went on, and a,ter
something less than the hundredth time of
borrowing, the neighbor appeared for "just
another drawing of tea" when the oft-visi-
ted tea canister was brought out and found
to be empty, and the good old lady and
obliging neighbor was just one pound
of tea poorer than when she bought the
new canister, which now only remained
to tell the story. Then she made little
characteristic speech, perhaps the first in
her life; she said: "Thou seest that empty
canister. filed it for thee with a pound
of my best tea, and l have lent it ali to thee
in driblets and put into it all thyself hath
taken therefrom or added unto it, and now
thou seest it empty; therefore will say to
thee, thou hast borrowed thyself out and l
can lend thee no more!"

The MOdOc War.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March ia
company of the 4th artillery is ordered from
this city to the seat of the Modoc war, and
will march Friday. The news from the
Lava Bed is unimportant. About six
hundred troops are in the field at the pres
ent time waiting orders.
Canby's plan seems to be to surround
the land bed and starve the Modocs. For
that purpose four posts will be established
on the outskirts Of the lava section and
the shore of the lake.
