ImDortant Measure.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: / wish tC call
your attention to an important measure
now pending in the Legislature. My own
attention was directed to the matter by J..
H. Williams, Esq, Gen'l Agent of the
Tennessee Agricultural and Mechanical
Association of Nashville
You are aware that this Association is
prodigiously in debt, and that, unless some
relief soon comes, it will be hopelessly in
volved. Our own Association, though not
so deeply involved, is in debt and must
have relief.
The measure alluded to is in the form of
an IAN act for the benefit of Agricultural
Fairs and Associations" and is as follows:
SECTION 1. Be 1t enacted 6y the General
assembly of the State Of Tennessee, That
all Agricultural Associations, heretofore
incorporated or hereafter to be incorporat-
ed by the laws of the State, shall have
the power to raise money for payment of
grounds, making improvements or liqui-
dation of any debt made for such purpose
by issuing notes or bonds, bearing rate
Of interest not exceeding ten per cent. per
annum, secured by mortgage on the prop
erty of the company. .art-...-.
SEC. 2. Be 1t enacted, AS said associa-
tions are CONDUCIVE to the public good and
deserve the fostering care of the State, said

The Agricultural College Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Senator Nor
lps~bill charging the Government en-
dowment to agricultural and scientific col
leges will probably be brought up in the
House tomorrow, and an effort vii! be
made to pass it under suspension OF the
rules. Several presidents and leading pro-
fessors of institutions to be benefited by
the bill have been in town for some time,
and have worked up the subject so faith.
fully that they feel willing to trust the bill
to the necessary two-thirds vote. A con-
ference of parties interested was held last
evening at Wizards Hotel, at which the
bill was thoroughly canvassed, and several
amendments-not material, but designed
to facilitate the passage-were agreed to.
Friends of the measure count on the vote
of nearly all the Southern and Wastern
members. The Kentucky delegation viii
| vote unanimously for the bill, and the
States to receive the benefits of the bill are
sfficient to insure its success.

TWO SUBJECTS FOR LEGISLATION.

There are many subjects demanding the
attention of our legislators at NASHVILLE
and it is perhaps impossible that they
should give them all that time and study
they deserve But it should bewith them
a question as to what legislation is the
most important. What reforms in exist
ing laws will strike nearest at the root OF
o,lr present eyilso Men talk of relieving
our State of its financial embarrassments,
but all such relief can only come from an
increase in our revenues and decrease
i'm our expenditures. What VIII most
speedily bring us more capital ana
more immigration We do not know OF
legislation that will more certainly strike
down a greater number of drawbacks to
our growth in wealth and numbers, than
A good system of schools and improved
public roads Nine out of every ten
strangers who visit our State complain at
these two wants.
Good schools will help us in Il hundred
ways. This want is now so generally ap-
preciated and public sentiment so univer-
sally demands adequate legislation on it
that it is now barely necessary to allude to
it as the one question upon which our
Legislature is certainly expected
to act wisely and promptly. But
the value of good public highways
seems to be not SO generally understood.
How many acres Of valuable land are to-
day either half worked or idle because they
are out of reach of good markets-not be-
cause of the distance from those markets,
but because of the impossible roads over
which the products must be transported?
How many little shops in the back coun-
ties are idle half the year because of the
expense and time necessary to get the ar
ticIes they might manufacture to market ?
How much timber, how many slaves, how
many other articles produced by little
skilled labor are kept from market because
of our rough, muddy roads? We hear
every day of men losing opportu-
mites for making money because OF
our bad roads. We meet men every
day who consider the evil great
drawback to our State. Every farmer VIII o
has farm products to sell, every mechanic
who has the products of his skill and la
hor to bring to market is interested in bet
ter roads. Legislation TO make the pro-
perty holders and producers build good
roads would strike down many evils now
besetting us and do great good.
Here, then, are two subjects, affecting
almost every interest in the State, to
which the Legislature should give their
immediate attention, because they lie at
the very foundation of our prosperity.
Other matters, important enough in their
time, might be set aside, to give place to
these two elementary questions. We hope
to see less time spent on other subjects
now before the Assembly and thorough in
vestigation and legislation bestowed upon
these. The man who studies upthese two
questions and gives us the laws required
in reference the reto, is the man the people
will endorse.

the city, has recently passed an ordinance
offering commission of three per cent.

A first-class plague for city is to nave
about it a lot of men who imagine them-
selves rich because of some real estate
which they hold at exorbitant rates. They
are always talking about how large their
city is to be, but have little to say about
how they are keeping it back by their IL
liberal conduct.

Quotations FROM THE BIBLE.-There are
many familiar phrases in constant use which
the majority of people suppose have their
origin in the Bible, and use them in that
connection. The New York Obserrer cor
reefs this error in the following manner.
But, as the phrases are very fine, we still
love to use them. To prevent misquotations
from the scripture, it gives them thus.
God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" From - Sterne's Sentimental Jour
ney.' Compare Isaiah XVI, 4.
a. In the midst of life we are in death. -

= Bread and wine which the Lord hath
commanded to be received" From the Eng
lish Catechism
Not to be wise above what is written -
Not in scripture.
1.-The merciful man Is merciful to his
beast" The scriptural form IS '' \ right

A nation shall be born in day In
Isaiah it reads e. Shall nation he born at
once?"
= As iron sharpeneth iron. 50 doth man

About halfpast nine, Monday evening, a.

passed about a mile north of North Dorset,

dropped to the road bed, while on the other,
the side on which the engineer was sitting,
the rod came up through the bottom of the
cab, ripping out the engineer seat. Quick
er, almost than thought, the engineer dis
covered the breakage, signalled for brakes
and leaped from disposition just in time to

There was choking in Logan's throat as
he lifted the cold little body and carried it
onward down the stream, and noted tht
places where the infant must have climbed and
scrambled in its little battle for life. 1t was
a strange two hours to him as he bore the
pure, beautiful, frozen corpse toward the
settlement.
At eleven o'clock be reached the clearing.
He saw the scattered groups of men gathered
about Johns house and barn. Some of the
men seemed to be searching about the barn
TO find the body of the boy they believed to
be murdered. Logan felt his frame tremble
and his temples throb, realizing as he did
the weight of life and death wrapped in the
burden shat he bore. He spoke no word and
made no gesture, but, holding the dead child
in his arms, marched directly past the barn
to the door-yard and up in front of the
house. There he stopped, and stood and
looked with agitated face at the farmhouse
door.
The shock of Logan's sudden coming was
50 great that no one said, 1.-The BODY is
found" but all the men stopped talking,
and some, pale and agitated, gathered in a
close huddle around Logan and looked at the
little, white, frosted face, and in hushed
tones asked where Logan had found the
body.
A blanket was brought and spread upon a
dry place in the yard, aud Logan laid his
little burden upon it.
John came out and approached the spot
