The Chase Estate--Rights ef the
American Heirs Esta abIished.

Much interest has been excited Of late
by the decision in the celebrated "Chase

This estate. is valued at the enormous sun,
Of $3.50, 900, is located at Leicester
shire, England and the property comes to
the heirs in succession, several of whom
live in Chicago and Alton. Among the
number are j. H. d. Henderson. Of 1922
Wabash avenue. Chicago; the heirs Of the
late Gen. T. s. Rutherford, and Mrs. DR..
@. NJ. Smith, of Alton. The English heirs
had heretofore obtained their full interest,
and the late decision periscts the title Of
the American heirs.
This vast estate came FIRST from Sir
Townly. Of TOwnly Hall, Lancaster,hire.
Sir Townly bad one son. who afterwards
married, and also left male child. The
latter never took unto himself wife. and
upon his death be willed the entire prop

The Habit or swearing

A prominent citizen who was seitei-
with serious affectation not long since
was fully persuaded that he was in a pre-.
carious condition. and might, within .
short period, hand in bis checks. Suffer-
ing very severely every day from his pecu.
liar disease, and remembering very dis
tinctly that one Of his friends had but re-
Gently died of similar affection, he call.
ed his little boy and directed him to hand
him Bible. That volume having bsen
given him, he turned to the book Of job
and commenced perusing it, reading chap
ter with marked manifestations Of interest.
At last he came scross thought which
struck his sense of right SofOribly that
he CALCULATED, "By Cd that's noble
sentiment T.
A Accrtain young man. who was sddioted
to swearing, waslying nigh unto death. not
long ago, With fever. He was frequently
attended by an excellent minister. who
gave him spiritual consolation and prayed
with him daily. One morning while tho
preacher was kneeling in dsvoat prayer
the patient suddenly arose from his cossE
and creid out, "d--n that milk cart /; IL has
come again The explanation was that
the ringing of the milkman's bell never
failed to disturb him, aud that during the
course Of the prayer tho sound Of the bell
came into the room with such suddsnness
and harshness that the patient, In . half
delirous state Of mind. was impelled TO
complain Of it. m
Now, in both these instances there was
no intention onthe part Of these gentlemen
to be irreverent, but this mode Of making
their language emphatic, had grown upon
them 50 inssnsibly, that they could not use
many expressions without accompanying
them With pronounced sxpletivs.

Encourage HON. Feiks

That mechanics are the most useful and
industrious class of any community. Is
universally admitted, and We endorse
what the Atlanta Constitution says in 70.
gard to giving homo mechanics preference |:
do not send abroad for help il you have
work to do, when it can be done in your
own town. Encourage your own honest.
industrious mechanics. They need all
the work they can get. BY such course
youkeep money at home, assist the worthy,
and generally have just as good work per.
formed. 1t is the way to make your own
town prcsper-to support your own schools
and press. Where there is disposition
to send hund,ed miles for an article
that. to say the least. could bo mauufac.
tured as well at your own door, there will
always be little or no business dons in
that place. The churches will be thinly
attended, and all kinds Of labsr extremely
dull Wherever mechanics are the best
employed. prosperity is seen, the social
virtues predominate, and kindly, brothefly
feeling is experienced. which is the source
of uuspeakable happiness. Whatever
you have to be done, look around and sec
if your mechanics cannot do it. II you
have house to build or shoe to tap, or
. saddle to be made, tinware To mend. q
house to paint, or pack of cards to print,
just look among your home folks before
you send abroad, and if there is none In
the town capable Of doing the task, it will
be time enough to look elsewhere. It if
wrong idea to :hiuk nothing is SERVICE
able that is made at home. We know Of
many an instance whare men have refuse
ed to purchase work made by their neishS
Dor, and send to distant city for the ar
ticles which they needed and paid third
more for them, when, behold, they have
been manufactured and sent away to sell
by the same neighbOrs Of whom they rcfus'
ed t, purchase.
"Let The motto Of all be, ! will encour.
age my own mechanics. In turn you will
be encouraged also. A mutual feeling
of good will and kindness will sprirg up
in our midst, and prosperity will DO OBJ
servable in every street and in every
dwelling" t

East Tennessee County Press.

We presume very few of our readers
have ever thought of the number of news
papers published in East Tennessee, out
side Of the cities of Knoxville and Chat.
tanooga. An hour could be spent very
proftably in looking over the files of them
which are kept in this Office, and such an
inspection would convince any one that
the country press Of East Tennessee will
compare iayorably with that Of any other
section of the United States, while their
number is the best possible criterion Of
the intelligence of the community FROM
which they draw their support. The list
is as follows:
Bristol-Ne,cs, Courier; Greeneville
Era, Sentinel and Reporter. National
Union. Jonesboro'-Union Flag, Her.
aid and Tribune. Nlorristown-Gazette,
Holston Methodist. DIaryville-Repub-
lican. Loudou-Jo~rnal. Kingston
East Tennesscean. Sweetwater Enters
prise. Athens-Post. Cleveland-Ban-
ner, Commercial Republican. Jasper
Seguatche Sun. Tazewell-CumJer-
land Spectator.
Ofthe foregoing. four are Republican,
two inclined to be neutral, and the lest
Democratic or Conservative. The Re,
porter, at Rogersyille, Hawkins county,
has departed this life since the New Year.
There are two religious papers publish
ed in East Tennessee-1he HolSton
Methodist: at Morristown, organ Of the
NJ. Il. Church, South, and the Record. at
Knoxville, for the Presbytcrans.
In addition there are number of real
estate journals at Knoxville, Chattanooga
and Cleveland, which appear at irregular
intervals. Two literary monthlies are also
published at Bristol, the Souuenir and
the Messenger, and one called the Moni>
tor, published at Maryville, in the Inter.
est of the freedmen, education and reli-
gion." 1t will thus be seen that the
country press Of East Tennessee is respect
able in number, and with one or two sx-
eeptiOns, they are above the average in
point Of ability. Some Of the publishers
use the "patent outsides," but we have
not heard how they like that plan as COM
pared with getting up paper entire in
their own ofices.-PvSs and Herald.

The amount originally bequeathed was
1886, 100000, of which one-fourth was
distributed to the heirs Of Richard in Eng
land and the remaining three-fourths, by
the late decision is to be distributed a.
mong the American heirs. This decision
was telegraphed to one Of the heirs, resid-
ing in Louisville, and several meetings
have been held by those interested.
1t appears that during the past twenty
years one Of the heirs has been engaged 10
arranging and completing, the family re.
cord in America, and the chain of facts
thus elected caused the aforementioned
decision.--St. Louis Democrat.
