THE COLD WEATHER.

Monday was fearfully cold day i'll the
Northern and Eastern States. From the
New York Times, of Tuesday, we copy the
following which gives some idea of the at
mosphere there: -
The effects of this sudden change of tenn.
perature became apparent as the crowds Of
working people who find employment In
the various stores and warehouses through.
out the city began to throng the streets at
an early hour. Every one appeared to be
suffering intensely from the biting cold
which was rendered still more painful by
the stiff north-westerly wind which pre-.
vailed and defed the warmest furs OF
heavy winter clothing. These working
women and children, many OF them being
thinly clad, presented a pitiabie sight az
they hurried along shivering through the
streets. But the car-drivers, who were op'
Iiged to stand entirely exposed to the pierc,
ing cold during the whole day, suffered
most. On all of the railroad Lines In the
city they presented the appearance OF froz'
en- statutes, as they were scarcely able to
move hand or foot. 1t was admitted by
everybody to be one of the coolest days
experienced in New York for many years.
The drivers of express wagons and freight
cars were alike in their misery. and In
many instances fell from their seats be-
numbed with cold.

From the Banner we learn that the fol.
lowing is the 18th section Of the funding
bill, which will probably pass both Houses
in the Legislature and become y law:
That no bond or coupon of any bonds
Issued for the purpose OK carrying on the
late civil war upon the part Of the State of
Tennessee shall be funded under the pro-
visions of this act, and any officer of the
State violating this provision to be held
guilty of misdemeanor, and, if con
the amount 30 funded wrongfully, to be
recovered as other fines, and paid into the
Treasury for the benefit of the sinking
fund. FE3SE9EE

SOME of the West Tennessee Papers are
quite outspoken on the subject of con-
stitutional convention. They urge some
very good reasons why such convention
should be held. 1t occurs to us that there
are two things to be specially considered
in this connection. First, the expense OF
such body. Will the advantages gained
by holding convention, overcome the
heavy pecuniary burden, entailed upon
the tax payers of the State? Is there not
some danger of doing too much If con-
vention is held? Tho last consideration
will prove no objection if the majority OF
delegates elected were good, representative
men.
There is no denying the fact that we
have features in our organic law that
might be very much improved. Our last
Constitutional Convention was too much
on the fossiIized order, and did many
things they ought not to have done ane
left undone many things that they should
have done. But it is seriously questioned
whether or not it is too early to mend thu
matter yet.

The Centennial meeting is regarded in
real earnest by the citizens of Philadel
phia. The Press publishes list of private
contributors, amounting to nearly 81, 3oo,-
900. The City Council proposes to donate
10000. The Legislature Of the State OF
Pennsylvania proposes to donate 81, OOO, 600
The whole amount raised for the purpose
in that State, it is claimed, will reach al
least s4,OOO,OOO. Among the most liberal
subscriptions, we find $1,000 each from the
firms of MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan, the
well known type founders, George W.

COL. THORNBURGH.

We copy the following flattering notice
of the hero of the "battering-ram" dis
trict, from the Washington correspondence
of the New York Times, of Tuesday:
Among the members elect to the Forty
third Congress on the floor to-day was
Hon. J. NJ. Thornburgh, from the famous
"battering-ram" district of East Tennes-
see, who overcoming Democratic major.
ity of 5000, defeated a shameful piece of
gerrymandering by beating his opponent
by over 5000 majority. He belongs to one
of the tried Union families of East Ten
nessee. His father died in loathsome
rebel prison, while his two sons fled from
home and served in the Union army.
Col. Thornburgh is an experienced law
yer, and will doubtless make a useful
member.

A LETTER from our correspondent "Se-
vier" brings intelligence of the death OF
or esteemed friend w. II. II. Duggan,
Clerk of the County Court of Sewer
county.
In the late war "Whig," as he was call

Sixth Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, and
was brave and true. He leaves many
friends to mourn his untimely demise
He died Of consumption and leaves wife
and one child to mourn his loss.

In the protracted illness of Hon. q. n.
Tillman, of Shelby, the cause of common
schools has been deprived of firm friend
in the Lower House of the Tennessee Leg
islature. Not being able to present his
views on the floor of the House, he
has published them in pamphlet form,
copy of which is before
us. Although very young man
this production would do honor to
older and more experienced heads. We
regret that by protracted and severe Illness
the State has been deprived of his invalu-
able services and trust that he may speedily
recover.
SOME of the Memphis papers have got
up a big railroad war on paper, in which
Gen. Malone and Tom Scott are the con-
tending parties. The Ledger thinks as
matters now stand: Malone can dictate
his own terms at Bristol, and is, in fact
on the aggressive. He has caused suit to
he brought in the Chaneery Court at Nor
ristown to restrain the officers Of the East
Tennessee roads from transferring a ma.
iority of the stock to the Southern Securi'
ty Company. Big interests are at stake
and each side is preparing for the final
contest with desperate energy and nerve. u
Malone will probably find debating hif
own termsn an uphill business. Tom
Scott has the reputation of fixing things
sometimes himself.

The widow resumed: Spare no ex-

A pause, which the sculptor hesitated
to break.

coming to the point, ga temple with mar

Il bad not, however, the honor of per-
sOnally knowing the late Mr.. Belair,
and his likeness is indispensable to the
completion of the design. Doubtless

and pointed to a magnificent portrait by
one of our first artists.

visitor. 81 need not ask you if the re-

widow, with stifed shrek "take from

The widow had worked herself up to
such pitch Of feeling that the sculptor
rose to ring the bell for assistance. But
she laid white hand on his coat-slceve,
and he sat down again.
"Then you will allow ne. ma'am, to
come here to take copy of it? Be not
alarmed / shall not long invade your
solitude. A single sitting will suffice"
The widow agreed to this arrangement,
and requested the sculptor to commence
the next day. But he had previous

firm.
"My word is pledged" he said, edo

A KISS AT THE DOOR.

We were standing in the door way
Ny little wife and /
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently.
A small white hand upon my arm,
What could | ask for more,
Than the kindly glance Of the loving eyes
AS she kissed Tue at the door
know she loves with all her heart,
The one who stands beside
And the years have been so joyous
Since first called her bride
We've had SO much of happiness
Since we met in years before;
But the happiest time ofall was
When she kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth of land or gold
OF fame or matchless power?
1t does not give the happiness
0fjust one little hour
With one who loves me as her life
She says she Gloves me more -
And thought she did this morning,
When she kissed me at the door.
AT times it seems that all the world
With all its wealth and gold,
Is very small and poor indeed,
Compared with what hold
But when the clouds hang grim and dark,
only think the more
Of Zone" who waits my coming step
To kiss me at the door.
If she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
know she II love me just the same
AS the morning when we were we'd.
But if the angels call her,
And she goes TO heaven before,
shall know her when meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

TAKING CoLp.-If cold settles on
the outer covering of the lungs, it be-
comes pneumonia, inflammation of the
lungs, or lung fever, and in many cases
carries off the strongest man to the grave
within week. If cold falls upon the
inner covering of the lungs, it is pleuri-
sy, with its knife-like pains and its slow,
very slow rccovercs. If cold settles
in the joints, there is rheumatism Of the
heart, which in an instant sometimes
snaps asundcr the cords of life with no
friendly warning 1t is of the utmost
practical importance then, in wmtry wea-
Their, to know not so much how to cure u
cold as how to avoid it.
Cold always comes from one cause
some part of the body being colder than
natural for time. If person will keep
his or her feet warm always, and never
allow himself or herself to be chilled, he
or she will never take cold 10 a lifetime,
and this can only be accomplished by due
care in warm clothing and avoidance of
drafts and exposure. While multitudes
of colds come from cold feet, perhaps
the majority arise from cooling off too
quickly after becoming little warmer
than is natural, from exercise or work
or confinement to warm apartment -

the decd is done. The chance was
Adams ard be improved it, We like the
notion of getting married in the garden.
1t is a good taste We like u private
wedding. Adams was private No
envious beaux were there; no croaking
old maids no chattering aunts and grum-
bling grandmothers. The birds Of heav-
en- were the MINISTRIES, and the glad sky
flung its light upon the scene. One
thing about the wedding brings queer
thoughts to us, spite the scriptural truth.
Adam AMI his wife were very young to
be married-some two or three days old,
according to the sagest speculation of
theologans mere babies--larger, but no
older, without experience, without
house, without pot or kettlc--nothing
but love and Eden.

THE NEEDLE.

The invention of the needle is ascribed
by the best authorities to the natives Of
India. 1t was first introduced from that
country into England in the year 1913.
1t was then a very costly instrument. 1t
was not generally used, however, until
some fifteen or twenty years afterwards.
From that time to this, it has been as
extensive a means of employment and
support as the plough or anvil, and yet
has produced an untold amount of mise
ry. Strange does it seem that mere
line of steel, held in woman's delicate
fingers, should produce such poignant
suffering. Yet in great cities-where
wealth demands all that ministers to
luxury and prlde--the needle is NIGH
tier weapon than the sword. and Il keen
err instrument of torture than the glitter
ing spear. 1t causes more nerves to
culver with anguish, and the death it
produces is slow and lingering. With
its little arrow of steel, it opens an en-
trance into the human flesh for almost
every form of disease and every kind of
pain. 1t is not alone the fingers and
eyes that suffer. but there is fearful
waste of nerves and brain. 1t bends the
chest and stiles the lungs, preparing the
way for coughs and consumption. But
thanks to the inventive power Of human
genius and skill, machine is now taught
to do the work of human fingers, and
with its swiftly flying wheels it achieves
the labor of many hands. The world
renowned Howe Machines can be obtained
on such easy terms that every one, no
matter how slender their means may be,
can obtain one. Call on the agents,
