Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1873-07-05

ONE By ONE.- 1 Is ONO DE one our CuCi-
ished decisions are dispelled. The cold,
calculating, investigating and unromantic
spirit of the age is making havoek of many
a pleasant story stamped in loving letters
upon our memories in early youth. 1t is
no longer certain that Columbus discovered
America; Wasbtngton's little Ratchet and
that cherished cherry tree turn out to be
myths; the hero William Tell, and the ty-
rant Gesler are pronounced mere dctions;
christian statesmen, of whom we have read
and heard so much, have played square
cut; and earthly saints who lived for heaven
only, and who practiced the charity and
godliness they taught on earth, have nearly
all, long, long ago, "gene where the wood
bine twineth." What next?
A MISUNDERSTANDING AND A SHAKING.
"A tall, large-boned white man, above
middle age, was talking TO an cid farmer on
the streets few days ago, and expressing
a desire to so to the country nd work on a
farm for awhile. During tn conversation
young, fancy, Dolly Warden sort Of a
farmer stepped up, and addressing the old
farmer, said, Esquire, can you tell me
where 1 can get two or thee hands to work
in my crop for a few wceks?" "Why yes"
replied the Squire, "hory's one man." point
ing 10 the aforesaid tall heavy bOned man.
"Oh," said the Dolly Warden farmer, 81
had rather have negro, because" he
didn't get any further just then. That tall
man made a graveyard snatch at his throat,
and before poor Dolly Warden could ex-
plain, come very near shaking the life out
of him. Finally he managed to gasp out
81 meant that had no accOmme datIons
for white man, and hence preferred a nc
gro" This was satisfactory, but the fancy
farmers shirt collar was fearful wreck,
and he MORALLY frightened before he got it
out.
THE GREATEST MEN or THE AGE
Pre-cminent among the great men OF the
age, tower the majestic forms Of Gen. Lee
and Prince Bismarck. The people never
grow weary of reading their names and
deeds and gazing upon their portraits.
Among the finest pictures OF these great
men we ever saw, are now to be seen in
front of Samueps New Broadway Cigar
Store, ON Lafayette street. They are life
size; and each IS represented in the full un-
form of his country. They were painted
by Mr.. Chas. T. Brady, of this city, and in
conception, execution and finish will COM
pare with any in the country. Indeed they
are remarkable portraits, and stamp Mr..
Brady an artist of high merit. Call and see
them-and don't fail to try one Of Samuers
imported HavannaS.
VERY FINE.-The sign painted for him
self, by Mr. c. T. Brady, and now hanging
over the door Of his room on Main Street, Is
certainly as a work OF art, unequaled by
| anything in this city. In fact New York
can't beat it. 1t is worth going to see.
KNIGHTS OF PYTuIAs.-This order, or
ganizcd IN this city only short time ago,
embraces IN its membership some Of the
| brightest names in Jackson. From what
we have learned OF the order, It is 4 noble
| enc, based on the only correct principles of
human amity, love, friendship and charity
y Young ONE.-It was interesting to OBJ

Of nine summers, the other day drew plug
