Tit For Tat

Bob c. and Gen NJ are pref,
ty well known from New Orleans to New
York aud even some folks in Bolivar
have beard Of them, while a few have
made their acquaintance about Water
Valley as they now and then have bust
ness thereabouts IA some way connected
with the great Central road. The General
says Boo was called 70 New Orleans some
TIM since en- important business, and
not having dme to pack his trunk took
the first rain and landed in the city just
after dark He went TO the St Charles,
regi tered his name in the presence of
an Old friend at the desk who was very
glad to see him, shook hands with dos-
en- more and left for the theater. After
the performance was over, and wishing
60 get all the repOse possible before en-
tering upon his pressing duties, he went
back to the hotel. His old acquaintance
had gone, and a new clerk stood in his
place who didn't happen to know how
high our friend stood in the estimation of
the solid stagers around the st. Charles.
Walking up to the counter he said:

"Have you got a room, asked the bul>
key clerk, eying him pretty closely.
81 reckon have" said Bob, Il regis

Bob had to 90 for his wallet, which for

street about the size Of McCombs to fall
back on in case McConi:o failed to come

Bob was up here last Wednesday
morning for the purpose Of looking after
the wrecked freight train over in Forts
field. He came up town quite early in
the morning and was anxious to see the
General, but failed to do 80, as he had not
left his residence. We met with Bob at
our gate as he and friend were making
for the depot to catch a passing train.
Good morning, Mr. c. said we.
Good morning" came out plump from
humorous lips. Have you seen General

Some of the new settlers upon the Cen
trail Branch Union Paciic Railway lands
of Kansas, who raised only corn last
year and could find no market for it and
therefore could not make their payments
on their land, were kindly aided by W.
F. Downs, superintendent Of the road
lie accepted corn delivered at their near
est depot instead of cash, allowing the
highest market price then existing, He
hauled it to Atchison and stored for
higher prices HaIfo such increase the
Company agree to give to the former
owners, As the price of corn is daily
rising this promises to be nice little
sum for each-some corporations have
souls it seems.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION.

We publish elsewhere full particulars of
the death of Captain John Hall and the
loss of the steamer Polaris with part of it's
crew. The details of the sufferings of the
crew are given and will be read with deep
and painful interest by the civilized world.
Captain Halls expedition left this country
some two years ago under patronage of the
Government, Congress having made an
appropriation for the purpose. The explor
er had a theory that by following up the
Gulf stream he could gain an entrance to
the Arctic seas so as to explore the polar
regions. The same spirit that caused Liv
ingstone to bury himself in the wilds of
Africa, for years cut off from his friends
and from all communication with the civ
ilized world, caused Hall to brave the
eternal winters of tie Arctic region in
the hope that he might solve one of
the great problems of geographers. Though
he seems to have gone beyond his preced-
ing explorers, he has sacrificed his life
without the recompense he hoped to offer.
The great mystery is still unsolved. 1t is
to be hoped that the later advices, which
it is said do not confirm the loss of the
Polaris, will be confirmed.

FROM gentleman who was member
of the 37th General Assembly when the
present Public Printers were elected, we
learn fact that is now interesting. The
various candidates for the position print
ed and laid upon the desks of members OF
the Legislature specimens of the work they
would do, if elected. On the margin of
the specimen sheet presented by Jones,
Purvis & Co., in red ink, they
stated if reelected they would submit to
any change the Legislature might make
In that matter, reserving the right to re-
sign, if the compensation allowed was in
adequate. This, We learn, was the sub
stance of their promise. How have they
kept it? When a responsible firm pro-
poses to print the schedules for tax assess
ors for three thousand dollars less than the
Public Printers ask for it, they protect
themselves by procuring an injunction re-
straining the Comptroller from employing
Wheeler, Marshall and Bruce, and force
him to give them the job. AS reward for
this extraordinary financiering member
of the firm is appointed by the Governor
to the office of Comptroller and in the flu
ture, he must audit the accounts for public
printing. How is this for Tennessee
Credit Mobilier?

The contrast between Nashville and
KnoXvillein the action of the two cities in
the matter of the Methodist Universities is
worth noting. Commodore Vanderbilt. of
New York, gave half million of dollars
for Southern Methodist College. He in
dictated Nashville for its location. The
Board of Trust asked the city to subscribe
something to help purchase a site. The
citizens after a canvass of the city
subscribed eighteen thousand dollars.
Our young city has just subscribed
$4,000, with promise to make it, if pos
sible, $4,000, for university which has
the promise of similar endowment.
When we consider the difference i'm size of
the cities, the contrast is more marked.
We believe that this beginning of aiding
enterprises that promise to build up Knox
Vile will tend to concentrate here, in few
years, capital and labor enough to repay
our people ten fold for their liber-
ality. We have the advantages to make
great city, and if we only work unitedIy

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf, one of
the ablest Democratic papers in the State,
alludes to the appointment of Colonel
John G. Burch as Comptroller: We are
willing to acknowledge that Col. Burch
has the ability to fill the office, while in
his private character he is genial gentle
man but as leading editor we believe he
had not given entire satisfaction (; but he
has chung to Governor Brown, and if that
service is to be the measure of rewards, he
was entitled to it; but as one of a Public
Printing Ring, which has been lately
whitewashed, land as one of company with
which the very office he now holds has a
suit brought by his predecessor, we must,
as the public will, give this an unqulified
condemnation. Will Col. B. carry on that
suit against himself with much energy :?
He should not have accepted the office

ACCORDING to the Chicago papers, the
cause of the Dixon bridge disaster, by
which some fifty lives were lost, was the
rottenness of the iron put into it by its
builders Where the best wrought iron
should have been placed they put inferior
cast iron. In the columns supporting the
bridge, where they ought to have put bolts,
they filled in the holes with putty and false
heads. The contractors whoput it upshould
be hung if any such extreme punish
ment is lawful. 1t seems however that
the weak points of the work was exposed
and that it was generally understood that
the bridge could not stand very long. In
view of this fact it seems almost criminal
i'm the city authorities to have allowed so
many people to congregate on it, on the
occasion of the Sunday public baptism.

St. Stephen, and the character and
condition of the church
The first lesson that we obtain is
this: that God brings out of the very
! burdens which the church has to bear
the means Of its growth and prosperi-
| ty.
The disciples had greatly increased
in number.
Complaint arose against the He
brews among the Grecians because
their widows were neglected in the dai-
ly ministrations.
Additional duties were to be per-
formed. An additional off ce was made
and additional men required to ELL it.
Stephen was selected He was active
in the performance of his work. His
activity added. to the strength, and in
fuence of the church
Had there been no widows, poor,
ard strangers to be cared for: no dea-
cons had been required, no Stephen
had been called.
The church has always had the poor
to care for, and strangers to look after,
ant shame, and decay comes to that
church which neglects those duties.
There are also financial burdens to
be borne. The Sabbath School must
be cared for, and the social means of
grace sustained. A faithful bearing
of all these burdens adds to the eff
cheney Of church and makes it like a
:'city set on a hill which cannot be
hid"
A second lesson is: that wherever a
person commences duty, even though
it be Of secular character, for the
church, they always grow in grace and
usefulness.
Labor precedes reward. Stephen
went to work, not preaching, but doing
| secular work.
God places before every member Of
the church, something to do. That
something is in keeping with their abi1-
ity. And they are a grand success
when they do it, whittier they have one
talent or five
Stephens Office was one of neither
honor or profit, it was simply dis
charge Of duty, and in the discharge
Of it, the Spirit Of God came upon
him. The next we see of him, the
people are not able to resist, the spirit
and wisdom with which he speaks.
Exercise is the law of growth. And
the very reason why so many of the
professed followers of the Lord Jesus
do not enjoy more of the life and pow
cr Of Godliness in the heart, is because
they will net do the work of tho
church.
Another lesson is: that a true heart
making earnest efforts in behalf of the
cause Of God, can stand unmoved in
the midst of surrounding foes.
Another is: that if we have the real
Spirit Of jesus, we can forgive our
worst enemies, is : that when
We come to die, if we have been faith
ful in the discharge Of duty, we shall
see the heaAens opened and Jesus wait
ing to pronounce the well done.

'And devout men carried Stephen
to his burial, and made great
lamentati0n over him."

A5Sfroct Of sermon preached Jy Rev.
Jesse Cole, IN the II. f.. Church at
Grand Rapids, Nou. 23rd, 1873.
The burial Of the first Christian
martyr and as far as sacred history IN
forms us, of the first Christian is here
presented to the church. But it Is
not his burial so much, nor the lamen-
tation made over him that has caused
US to select this text: but that we may
draw important lessons from the life Of
