In the hurry -skurry, heiter-skelter OF
modern journalism, endeayorng to keep
pace with the telegraphic speed Of current
events, even the newspaper-man will glance
backward occasionally, to dwell for mo-
msnt on past age when men were wont
TO take their time and not in such hurry
to do and die as now. In some such mood,
we have uuearthed few old documents
from q private drawer of one Of our edi-
tors, which our Sunday reader may find
time 10 peruse. We feel certain that all
the old topers Of Davidson viii drop tear
for the days of Nathan Ewing, when the
County Court regulated their rations as
follows:
State of Tennessee, Davidson County
Court, July Sessions, 1820-When the Tav-
ern Rates for the County are Established as
follows:-Jamaica Spirits pr half Pint 374
cts; Wine pr half Pint so cts; French Bran.
dy Or half Pint 81; Peach Brandy pr half
Pint 124; Whiskey pr half Pint 123 cents;
Breakfast and Supper each % cts; Dinner
375 cents; Lodging per night 12a cents; Ssa-
bling for Horse "a hours fifty cents; Sin
gle feed for a Horse 125 cts, as TO the Town
of Nashville. And in the Country they are
Established as follows, to wit: Liquors the
same Rates as in Town; Bre kfast, Dinner
an Supper Zach rs cts; Lodging pr night
6! cents; Stabling for a Horse "a hours 37a
cents; Single feed for Horse l25a cents.

"Madame Money to me p
"And who ere you u

~ am the Prince Louis Napoleon"
Next day the couspirator OF Strasburg
and Boulogne, the escaped from the for.
tress Of Ham, secalled himself to the
memory Of HE followers by sending them
some English gold with which to still
eouspire against tho government that bad
twice left him his life. From this day
the misery which had overwhelmed the
son Of the Admiral Verhuel was driven
away by the bank notes Of Miss Howard.
While he was president be had called
Miss Howard to Paris aud had taken for
her house, No. ii Rue dc CRY. Miss
Howard, who had given 100000 (or
frauce) to Napoleon ut the moment Of his
elevation, was considered and considered
herself as the empress. But the daughter
of Albion counted without him who
when no speaks, lies when he is silent,
plots
"One day Napoleon sent Miss Howard
to Havre iu company with his accomplice,
Mocquart, promising to come to see hor
upon the Sunday. Saturday he married
Mile. de Moutijo.' Taking her tea the
morning Of the day wheu she should
receive the visit Of him who owed every
thing to her. Miss Howard read Of the
marriage 10 the Moniteur Oficiel. Pre-.
cipitately leaving the hotel frascati, che
engaged q special train and reached her
home in time where she saw the strangest
spectacle. Furniture. cushions, papers,
notes, contracts-some wero broken,
hers empty, and others stolen. Pietri
warsed by q dsspat. from Mocquart, had
gone to No. IA Rue de CRY. lie was
able to hear, and others like him, the
insulted English woman call Napolsan
assassin, swinder and robber. Next day
upon her awakening Miss Howard was
saluted by Mines. Fould and Feury with
the title Of Countess Of Beuureeard. Al
the same time they gave her the deeds ol
ownership to q property bearing this
name, situated upon the route Of Eer-
sailles. Several months later the new
countess loft France aud established her
self in Florence, where she built splen
did palace upon the banks Of the Arno.
But ten years after ennui seized her, aud
she wished to again see Paris. Every
day at the moment when Napoleon aud
the empress came into the Tuileries Misl
Howard showed herself in superb equi
pagc and dazzling toilet. Rumor sale
that tho empress was furious. Some
days after there was performance at tht
Italiens, during which the Eng'ishwoman
covered and occupying box directly il

an opera glass the woman who had stolel

What 10 do In Case OF Accident.

Prof. Wilder, Of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for sction IN cases
Of accident. 1t would not be bad thing
to cut them out and carry them in ones
pocket book, or better yet, commit them
to memory:
For dust 10 the eye, avoid rubbing ;
dash water into them; remove cinders,
etc, with the round point Of q lead
pencil.
Nemove 10 scots from the ear by tepid
wator- nevre put hard Instrument into
the car.
If an artery is cut, compress above the
wound if q vein is cut, compress below.
II choked, get on all fours and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
water if tho skin is destroyed. cover
with varpish.
Smother ere with carpets, etc water
will often spread burning oil, and increase
danger. Before passing through smoke
take q full breath and then stoop low,
but If carbon is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore enlarge the wound. o.
better, cut out the part without delay
hold the wounded part as long as can b.
borne to hot coal, or end Of cigar.
In case of poisoning excite vomiting BY
tickling the throat or by warm water and
mustard.
For acid poisons, give alkalies; for
alkaline poisons give acids-white Of egg
is good in most casos in cases Of opium
poisoning, give strong coffee, aud keep
moving.
For apoplexy, raise the head 'and
body for faintlug, lay the person fiat.

A Few Witty Suggestions.

The young man who has an ambition
to make great noise in tho world should
learn boiler making. He can make more
noise at that trade than at anything else
he can engage in.
If no believes q man should "strike
for wages" he should learn blacksmith
ing-especially If he is good at blow.

If he would embrace u profession in
which he can rise rapidly, he should
become an 1ronaut. lie couldn't find
any thing better "for high"
lie certainly could do . staving (and
perhaps q starving) business at the
cooper trade.
If he believes in "measure, not men, "
he will embark in the tailoring business.
If the one great object of his life is
to make money, he should get q position
10 the United States mint.
If no is Q punctual sort Of chap, and
anxious to be ION time" be should put
his hands to Matchmaking.
If he believes it the chief end of man
to have his business largely "felt," why
of course be will become q halter.
If he wants TO get at the root of q
thing" ne will become dentist though 4
if he does be will often be "found look
ing down in the mouth"
If a man is q bungler at his best he
should become a physician, and then he
will have none of his bad work thrown
upon his hands. 1t is generally buried
out of sight, you know.
Should he incline to high living, but
prefer a plain board, then the carpenter s
trade will SUIT him F.; he can plane board
enough at that.
1t he 10 needy aud we'll bred he will be
right at home as baker.
He shouldn't become cigar maker.
II he does all bis work will end 10 smoke.
The young man who enjoys plenty OF
company, aud is ever ready to scrape
acquaintance, will End the barber bust
ness congenial pursuit
The quickest way for him to ascend 10
the top round of his calling is to become
q bod carrier.
A very grave" young man might
flourish as an undertaken.
Don't learn chairmaking, for no matter
how we'll ysu please your customers, they
will sooner or later get down on your
work.
And dent become an umbrella maker
for their business il "used up"
If he wonld have bis work touch the
heads of the nation, We know Of no way
he could sooner accomplish such an OBJ
