IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Railroad Must be Located Before
a subscription Can be Voted.

Sundays Nashville Banner says:
'FWe have already in our columns
made allusion to the important case
between certain citizens of Smith
county aud,the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad Company, by order of the
Smith County Court.
The opinion in this case was read
in the Supreme Court yesterday.
The decision was put upon the
ground that the law required certain
things to be done before the County
Court is allowed to submit q propo-
sition to subscribe stock in a rail-
road to a vote of the people; that
one of these conditions precedent
was, that q sworn statement of the
company's engineer shall be filed
with the court, showing the location
of the road from one end to the
other, with certain estimates,
etc. In this case it seems the engi-
neer's statement only showed the To-
cation of the railroad from Nashville
to a point IS miles eastward, and not
its entire length. This was held to
be fatal defect; and that without
the full statement and estimates
which the law required, the County
Court could not order an election
Therefore all the proceedings were
void.
1t must not be concluded that this
decision operates to invalidate the
county bonds issued by Davidson
and Wilson counties. The bonds of
these counties having been actually
issued and sold into the hands of
thi-d persons, they are protected by
the law Of negotiable paper. The
Supreme Court of the United States
has, in many recent decisions, held
such bonds to be binding, and unaf-
fected by any infirmity in the per-
formance of the conditions preced-
ent to their ISSUE"

ISIS the Fashion.

Thin, scraggy, badly-made women
invented hoopskirts and pulled out
dresses which gave the hips huge
proportions, and they said. at ia
the fashion"
Beautifully-formed women, who
required no stuffiRg, consented TO
the Disagreement, and they, too,
said: ''It is the fashion"
Short little women invented high
heels and high head dresses, making
the face in the middle of the body,
and they said. cit is the fashion"
Tall, graceful women, with a smile
said: at is the fashion," and so
made themselves too tall, giving the
dwarfs the stature that nature, with
out high heels and high head dresses,
had bestowed upon them.
Women with large, fat feet, thick
ankles and low insteps said. I'VE
must hide our feet and ankles.
They invented long, dragging dress
es, and said. 'It is the fashion" 3"
! Then all women with dear little
feet said, go dear! IL is the fashion,
and we, too, must wear long dress
es."
That long dresses have a certain
| style about them is not to be denied,
and pretty woman can manage to
/ show just q glimpse Of n small foot, q,
a high instep and well turned ankle.
Dresses with trails may be,worn in a
drawing roOmi (the carpet supposed
10 be clean) and in q carriage, but in
the street, dragging thro' mud and
dirty water, making tie stockings
filthy, 1t is the very height OF folly
aud extreme OF vulgarity. The op-
posite of cleanliness in woman is a
crime so great that, like the absence
of a law against parricide in the
code of Lycurgus, il isnOt to be sup
| posed possible.

He Knew Him Like n Book.

This story comes from Bangor,
Me-: Near Bangor, in little village,
there dWelt, many years gone by,
q lay member, who kept week days
a country store, and on Sunday he
would preach or exhort around
among the neighboring towns,
where he could find vacant pull
pit
He was a man of limbsr tongue,
and could sell Yankee notions and
preach the Gospel very handy.
1t was his way 10 load up a wagon
snd peddle all through the country,
leaving his store in the charge of
his wife during his absence.
Finding himself, late in the week,
upon q certain time, too far from
home to get back, and having sold
out his load, which at that time con-
sisted of dried apples, which, by the
way, were a little wormy, he gave
notice that he would preach the
next day, which was Sunday, to the
people.
Many gathered to hear him. His
text was: "And by their fruits We
shall know them" He handled this
subject in his usual gallant manner,
and, closing up his sermon with g
glittering paragraph, he repeated
the text. 'Yes, my friends, and by
their fruits We shall know them"
Just at this point up jumped re-
tail grocer in the place, who had
dealt with the exhOrter the night
before, and said, loud enough to be
heard if the church had been twice
as large: "Yes, friend, and by the
worms IN their dried apples, too"

..Ths BrevIry OF LIIe.',

To the Young it does not seem
short; il seems very long. To the
boy of fourteen the man OF forty
seems . long way of, and he of six
tv removed by an age almost illimi-
table. But as time passes on, the
aspect of life changes. The man OF
forty thinks forty not nearly as old
as he thought il when he was four
teen; fifty years appears TO him but
the prime of life; sixty, far from
aged. When, at length, increasing
years admonish him that his life
work is ended, and that he can en-
ter on no new undertakings, and he
looks back to reflect upon what he
has accomplished, he wonders to see
il so little, and is amazed to find the
road so short in travelling, which
appeared so long in prospect. He
then understands as he never did
before the meaning of scripture
simile. "Nes," he says TO himself,
sit is indeed true. Life is tale that
is told, and as a dream when one
awaketh." a moments careful re-
Election will suffice, however, 10 con-
vince the thoughtful that the old
mans estimate is right, and the
young mans wrong. The time is
short, very short, in which TO a.
chieYe anything for God, for hui
manity or for ourselves. The aver
age length of human life is stated to
be thirty-three years. This average,
however, includes an estimate Of all
those who die in infancy. The
statement of the average life of a
healthy man may be enlarged some
what. But it is perfectly safe TO say
that il is not over fifty years. Some
live on to three score years, or even
to three score and ten, but more
never reach the half century. OF
this fifty years the first twenty are
taken in learning how TO live. =
Something the young can accom-
plish; but youth is the time for re-
ceiving, not imparting-for prepar-
ing to achieve, not for achievement.
Thirty years may be fairly accepted
as the average limit of the working
life. But no man works the full
twenty-fOur hours. Rest, recrea-
ton, food, sleep, Sabbath, and the
enforced idleness which occasional
illness compels, reduce the period
two-thirds. Eight hours a day are
as many as the brain or muscle can
ordinarily stand. Some work more,
but few TO the best advantage
Year in and year out eight hours
may be taken to represent the work
ing day. The working life, then, is
not thirty years; il is but ten. And
of these ten years, how much is nee
essarily absorbed by the drudgery of
toll, by the gathering of grain that
dies in the harvesting, and is never
garnered into store houses? How
much in getting clothing TO be put
on and worn out, in getting food to
be consumed in use, in building hou-
ses to crumble and fall into decay,
almost as soon as their owners?-
How much, too, of this time is lost
in plans that come to naught, in
sowing that never ripens, in fight
ing battles that are defeats? When
we have taken from our life what
time is necessary for preparation,
what Is required for rest and recre-
alton, and what is absorbed in fail
ure and in transient success, the
fragment that's left is very small
two, three or five years at the most.

Bad handwriting is a great bore
TO the various unfortunate people
who have to read IL, but where It
deals with a subject of which-as
usually happens-the person adj
dressed has some knowledge, a lit
tie patience generally surmOunts
the difficulty, unless, indeed, the
writing be of that supremely bad
character which caused Sydney
Smith to write to his friend Jeffrey;
'I have read your letter from left TO
right, and Mrs. Sydney from right
to left, but neither of us can make
one word of it," The exaspcrating
feature, par excellence, of bad writ
ing lies in illegible signatures, and,
strange to say, signatures are more
often badly written than any other
portion of a letter. We imagine that
ridiculous sort of vanity, viz; the
idea of having "a characteristic sig
nature" must underlie this exceed
ing great folly and stupidity. A
signature ought, of course, TO be the
very clearest part OF letter, but il
often happens that a person recciv-
ing a letter from total tranger has
the utmost difficulty IN getteng the
correct name of his correspondent
out of an obscure conglomeration Of
twirls and dashes. A frequent re-
suit is, that postmen are driven half
frantic in a vain effort to find the
man with what a writer wrongly con-
lectures is the name appended 10 the
letter he answers, and thus, very Of
ten, the return letter never arrives
