An Enthusiast on a High Horse.

An enthusiastic friend of the American
centennial celebration, writing to gentle
man prominent in official circles, suggests
that at precisely twelve o'clock noon on
the fourth of July, 1876, Washington
time,) all the guns, the bells, locomotives
and other loud whistles, trumpets, the
organs and other musical instruments, with
the tens of millions of singing voices of our
great land, bust forth in sounds of joy and
praise. All the telegraph lines shall be ST.
lent, at the command of the United States
Government, from ll:45 to l2:l5, T.. NJ, and
then let the great battery at Washington
send the electric flash and click over the
vast iron maze to every city and town and
village of our land, and even to Europe
Asia, Africa and the isles of the sea as far
as the lines can be at that moment secured,
and at this signal instantly let the cannon
thunder forth the death-knell of oppres-
sion; let all the mighty steam whistles pro-
claim the grand march of civilization amid
the western wilds and the isles of the sea-
as we'll as the city and the fertile plains,
and bid the slumbering millions OF heath
endom awake and join the happy nations
in singing that sublime invocation to praise
-"Praise God from whom all blessings
flow ~ &c.

Did Jacob Thompson and JEFF. Davis Get 1t

In his "Reminiscences of the Past,n pub
lished in the Washington Chronicle, Ex-
Governor Henry S. Foote, says:
There is one considerable fund about
which / personally know something, and
in reference to which many persons would
now like much to know more than am
prepared to tell them. Some two hundred
thousand dollars in gold or more, were
placed in the hands of Mr.. Jacob Thomp-
son for certain war purposes, which he
took on with him to Canada, and deposit
ed in the bank of Mr.. Porterfield, NOW a
Nashville neighbor of mine of the greatest
respectability.) Mr.. Porterfield told me in
Montreal in the summer of 1865, that
Thompson had, few days before my arri-
val there, drawn out all his money and
taken it with him to England. The war
was then over, for Lee and Joe johnson
had both surrendered. Now, what did
Mr. Thompson do with this large sum
Did he and Mr.. Davis divide it between
them? Did the immortal Benjamin get
his share, or has the whole amount been
subsequently distributed in charity among
the thousands and hundreds of thousands
of the unhappy people of the South ruined
by following the fortunes of their once low
ed and honOred leader, and testing with
him the true value of the once venerated
State-rights-se cession-Democratic creed?

MURDER AT MANCHESTER.
MaryViIIe Items.

A party of young people of Maryville,
about twenty-five in number, paid pleas
ant visit to their sister town, Louisville,
last Monday. The day was pleasantly
spentamOng the rocks and cliffs on the river
about mile and half below the village.
The election for Sch Dol Directors last
Thursday resulted in the election of Allen
Garner, Jr., II. c. McNutt and Will A.
McTeer.
The Elders meeting of the different
branches of the Presbyterian Church in
Blount county, was held at Clover Hill
last Friday and Saturday. There was a
larger attendance and a greater general in
terest manifested than has been at any OF
the previous meetings. Steps were taken
to call Christian workers convention to
be composed of all workers, irrespective OF
church relations.
Our citizens are rapidly returning from
our popular health giving fountains, all
looking healthy and ruddy enough to kill
any disease that might attack them.
A convention of the School Directors for
Blount county was held to-day, Major Ben.
Cunningham presiding as chairman.
Twenty-Five Directors were present, as
well as Capt John H. Norton, the County
Superintendent. A very interesting ses-
sion was held and steps were taken to try
TO secure a uniformity of text books
throughout the county. The educational
ball is in motion and will roll on. w.

Incident of the War of the Rebellion.

A noble historic scene-the surrender of
General Pillow to General Smiths thus
described by the Newark advertiser !:
"Pillow came into Montgomery a foot, and
alone, sat down on curbstone, and shook
the gravel out of his rough army shoes,
and then walked into Smiths office. The
ceremony was simple. He said: How are
you, JACKIE The reply was: Good God,
Gid, is that you? Have you had your
breakfast?' To which Pillow responded ::
No, and l haven't "a dollar to pay for one,
When he went away he went well fed and
with plenty of money"

Mrs, IIOtChkiss' Case

We were not surprised when Mrs.
Hotchkiss demanded n divorce. Mrs.
Hotchkiss was a somnambulist, and af-
ter getting to sleep at night she would
rise and grope her way down stairs to
the kitchen. Then she would do the
whole of the weeks washing, and after
hanging the clothes upon the line come
back to bed. The next night she would
do the ironing, and the next the sweep
ing, &c. And always when she came
down in the morning she would be as
tonished to find the work all finished,
and she always insisted that Hotchkiss
had done il for her while she was asleep;
and Hotchkiss, the unprincipled scoun-
drel that he was, would smile and take
the credit for it, just as much as she
chose to give him, altough he used to
watch her get up in her sleep, and he
knew well enough how it was. And
when she would throw her arms around
his neck and kiss him, ,and tell him how
very kind it was of him, that conscience
less rascal would say, ''Oh, it's nothing,
Harriet; nothing, my dear; do it be-
cause | love my darling Harriet" Then
Mrs Hotchkiss would nestle her head
on his waistcoat and cry over his shirt
front, and he would stand there with
the air of man who was conscious OF
having done a great and noble act at
the cost of fearful self-sacrifice. This
kind of thing continued for several
weeks. until one night, while Mrs.
Hotchkiss was washing shirts III her
sleep needle concealed in one Of the
garments ran into her finger and awoke
her. For moment she was bewildered.
Then the truth flashed upon her. She
went up stairs Hotehkiss was fast
asleep and snoring like fog whistle.
She shook him and walked him. He
thought she was in a somnambulistic
condition, so he exclaimed, Hsee here,
old woman, lem'me alone, and go down
and finish up that washing. Mrs Hotch-
kiss did not nestle her head upon his
bosom then. She nestled her hands
