Legislative Progress,

in former communication, but, upon a

mistaken. 1t moves slowly. TO be sure
there is no lack OF accumulated material.
That piles up all the time in the form of
bills and resolutions. To an outsider there
seems to he too much precious time eX-
hausted over the most trivial matters.
For example, through some strife, the
House, the other day, spent two hours on
renewed motions to adjourn, and for that
little ebulition of bad feeling the State has
to pay about seventy-fve dollars,

Houses would melt away in rapid success

No important question has yet been
reached and disposed of, and the fear now
is, that immigration, Free Schools and
Agricultural Reform will not be legislated
upon for the want of time. You must re-
member that there are only about twenty
five days to go upon; and, in that time,
Assessment Funding, Torbett Issue and
some other leading measures have to be
disposed of. To be sure it would not really
require all this time to put them through
provided they We're understood and there
was unity of opinion; but this is not
the case, unfortunately. You have never
witnessed such lamentable confusion as
pervades both Houses on these questions
The darkness is impenetrable and the con
fusion fearful. The emergency seems tC
be too formidable for the Solons. They
have an elephant of such huge proportions
f that they don't know where to put him OF
how to get rid of him. The need of som,

to confront the present financial trouble

The Lumber Trade.

That East Tennessee possesses as fine
timber as any State in the Union is known
to all living among us who have given the
subject any attention, and it seems that the
knowledge has extended Legend the ocean.
An agent of an English firm is now in
Anderson county aud has made contracts
with number of men for large quantities
of walnut timber to be delivered along the
line of railroad. The logs will be taken to
Norfolk by ral andkthence shipped to
England, where it will be used for veneer
ing furniture, good lumber being both
scarce and enormously dear.
The agent, Mr.. Cody, has about two hun
bred car loads along the line of the Knox
vile and Ohio road, which will be shipped
as soon as ears can be obtained The
freight to Norfolk is about eighty dollars
per car load, so that the railroads will have
enough to do at remunerative rates. Doubt
less great deal of this lumber will find
its way back to the United States manu-
featured into the finest articles, but our
people like whatever is "foreign," and
don't mind paying dear for what they sell
cheap, especially If they don't know it. In
the thickly settled portions OF the world
timber is becoming scarcer, and conse-
quently more valuable every year, and
foreign manufacturers are compelled to
look TO the new world for future supplies.
Fortunately, we can supply the want for
a century to come, so we hope the lumber
trade of East Tennessee will increase un-
til it rivals that of Maine.

Words of Warning,

Mu!titudes of women lose health and
life every year, in one of two ways-by
busying themselves in warm kitchen
until weary, and then throwing them
and perhaps in room without fire; or by
removing the outer clothing and perhaps
changing the dress for more common one
as soon as they enter the house after be-
ing out visiting, walking, or shopping.
The rule should be invariably, to go at
once to warm room, and keep on all the
clothing for five or ten minutes, until the
forehead is perfectly dry. BY this time
the body will be dry also. In all weathers,
If you have TO walk and ride on any oc-
casion, do the riding first.-Dr. HuH.

SIX hundreu men,
Who first marched up the hill,
And then marched down againin

when they arrived at the bottom of said
hill. They shook their heads mysteriously,
you may rest assured, and vague whispers
were uttered of what Wicks would have
done if Rule had thrown his lengthy shad-
ow on the bloody ground of Georgia. this
morning. There was "s'Blood, Iago!W in
every movement of the semi corpulent
Major, and as we gazed in awe upon him
we mentally thanked heaven that Knox
vile couldn't spare her Mayor from his
post this sunny February morning.
The belligerent party have gone now and
the air is clear again.
We have heard many persons express
their admiration for the bold, manly and
courageous style in which Rule met the
proposition of Wicks. No word of blame
or sneer of cOwardice has reached our ears.
The day of the duels is past thank God,
in our land, and newer 'cole of honor"
based upon the peaceful principles OF
Christianity, has superseded the relic OF
barbarism by which one mans blood was
made to atone for another's crime. Every
man who has the spirit to scorn challenge
and its sender deserves the thanks of al
his fellow-men, as n practical reformer
whose example is a potent balsam to a de
PRAYED public sentiment. The day is MOI
