MOE NEW IDEA.

In his letter 10 the President of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, announcing
that be had disqualified himself for re-elec-
ton as director by having been elected q
member of the next Congress, the Hon.
James Brooks proposes that the House be
recruited from tho Alms-houses of the
country, that it may not be guided by Pc
cuniary self-interest in its legislation. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says: Solomon sage
ly remarked that there is nothing new un-
der the sun, and this idea did not originate
with Mr.. Brooks. 1t was experimental on
some years ago, it is said, in an Eastern
State. In a rural town where frugality
and economy and industry were the pre-
vaiIing virtues, where every man had some
thing to attend to, no one was anxious or
willing TO go to the General Court. They
were so industrious and excellent people
that they had only one pauper in the town,
and they decided that it would be a matter
of economy to send him to the Legislature,
and they sent him. We think the expert
ment was success, though the example
was not copied because there were no other
model towns thereabout. We have conf
dence that this precedent and Mr.. Brooks
suggestion should offer serious and valid
reasons why the Congress Of the United
States should, by way of experiment, bt
composed in a similar manner for once
We might not gain anything, but It would
be difficult to lose anything"

To the Trade of Arkansas,
Mississippi and West
Tennessee.

I'VE, THE UNDERSIGNED, MER-
w chants of Louisville, desire to as
sure our friends and the trade gene
rally of Arkansas, Mississippi and West Tennes-
see that ample facilities exist to ship all goods
from Louisville, via Nashville without change of
cars. to any points by railroad on the Mobile and
Ohio, mississippi Central and Louisville and
Memphis roads, and the rates Of freight will be
the same as heretofore.
In addition to these railroad facilities to reach
Memphis with freights destined for Arkansas,
we have ample means of shipment by boats to
Memphis on through bills Of lading to all points
on Arkansas and White rivers.
This announcement is made to our friends and
cusaomers to correct an impression, which has
been sought to be made by our competitors In
other cities that the break on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad at Clarksyiile, Tenn, will
prevent Louisville merchants from shipping
their goods to the South and Southwest

One by one the famous sayings of
great mel, which have passed into
history and become traditional phras-
es, are being absolutely swept out of
existence by the historical iconoclast.
The last one TO suffer this cruel fate
is the famous "MiIlions for defense,
but not a cent for tribute" When,
nearly eighty years ago, General
Pinckney, then Minister to France,
was approached by the predecessor of
the Due de Broglie, and was informed
that the payment of a certain sum
might settle the diplomatic dispute
between tie two countries, history
says that General Pinckney indjg-
nantly replied; millions for defense,
but not cent for tribute" And now
comes q responsible citizen of Charles
ton, 8. c., and shows by indisputable
authority that, at a meeting OF the
Cossack Club, of which General Pinck-
ney was a nember, the latter was
asked directly by another member
whether he ever made such remark,
to which he replied: mo gentlemen;
my answer was not a flourish like
that, but simply, Not penny, not
a penny" In losing the original
and rather grandilOquent phrase,
however, there is some compensa-
ton in the fact that we have in its
placea much more expressive, forci-
bic, and comm0n-sense answer.
