were sudden and violent, and the result
nearly fatal. Deathly prostrstion, sunken

dominating symptoms.

SPINNER, Sweet. Good Bye!
BY GEORGE COOPER.


Gold and red and purple leaves
Flutter down the wind:
With the SNOW Of thistle-down
Alithe lanes are lined.
Clear and keenly blue the sky.
Hurrying birds are flying high,
Singing Summer. sweet. goodbye.
Summer, sweet. goodbye
Sheaves are nod ling in the sun,
As If passed along,
In CAV, fantastic rout.
Summers's fairy throng.
W here the fading willow swings,
Where the nest. deserted. cling.
Listen to the brook. that sings:
summer. sweet. goodbye.
W odland, whisper sad farewells;
squirrels frisk and spring;
Patter. patter rain the nuts,
For their harvesting.
Flock> Of merry bird, 20 by,
'Nea h the hearts uncloudej sly,
Hopeful. trustful. while We sigh
Summer, sweet, goodbye.

This iaa live, go.ahead, progressive
State. where Yankee shrewdness Is com
bined with Western yigor and breadth OF
enterprise. Many profitable lessons OF
thrih, economy and cooperation can be
learned here by our people who are TOO
often prone to wait for something to turn
up. like Micawber. This State abounds
with all sorts Of manufactures, ard al
ready begins to furnish older communi'
ties with the products Of skilled labor,
assisted by all the appliances Of I'M
proved modern machinery.
Politics run at a low ebb, bnt the
Oranges are organizing aud il not per.

| was introduced to Mr.. Davis the other
day. who was nominated for Governor
at a recent Republican Convention over
one of the most able members OF the
washburn family. Davis is
hardly thrty.fve, but is full OF pluck
and courage and enthusiasm in all he
undertakes, and is certain to be elected
Il he lives until the day of the election
IN November. Hf
With great resources to develop, and
gast bodies of land yet to be brought
INTO cultivation, and labor flowing IN
,yery year from the East and the north
I'm part Of Europe, there are no bounds
o the future wealth and prosperity OF
his State. Let the people Of Tennessee
md other Southern States utilize their
abor and capital, cooperate in all
practical public enterprises, encourage
III manufacturers, however small, pat
onize home industries, live within their
means, take to farming instead Of
planting" and raise their own bread
md meat, and they may soon enjoy
imilar prosperity. This State has no
ron, no coal, no fruit to speak Of, rig

antages which cannot be applied to our
wn State. Yet Minnesota begins to

SCHOOL BOOKS AND CHANGES.

The State Of Indiana has enacted
THAT no text book adopted by County
Board, shall be changed within three
years from the date OF such adoption
except by the unanimous consent oil the
Board" In st. Louis there has been
considerable trouble existing with refer
euce to a change OF school'books. The
Dispatch pointedly remarks; There Is
scarcely State Of the Union which does
not from time to time complain ofthe vac
illating policy of school boards in con-
nection with school.books. These are so
often changed to suit the cupidity OF en-
terprising publishers, or the pet theories
of teachers, that the alterations from one
system TO another are not only embar-
RAISING to pupils, but are a vast tax on
the means Of their parents, and 1t is
difficult not to suspect that the minds oil
members are, to certain extent, warped
by the plausible representations OF book
makers, publishers or their agents. 1t
would be folly to contend that the public
welfare has been advanced by the
changes in the textbooks which have
already been made, while the pupils have
been retarded in their studies and their
parents victimized. For three years we
should like to see six substituted in q
similar law for this State, for it is safe
to say that no substantial improvements
in school books take place in shorter
period. We cannot imagine anything
more distracting to the minds of schol-
ars than to periodically place different
sets of books in their hands, to ask them
to learn the same thing by various sys-

Prince Jerome Bonaparte has made a
demand upon President MaeMahon to-
be reinstated in his rank Of General OF
Division in the French army: Named
to the rank by two DEGREES of the late
Emperor, commanding division IN the
Crimean war, and an army corps by
MacMahon's side in Italy, and receiving
his last order at Chalons, in 1870, from
MacMahon himself, he claims that his
position is as regular as that OF any
General or Marshal in the army, and
wants TO know by what authority his
name is omitted from the army list for
1873. 1t will be difficult for Mac Mahon
to resist the logic OF this appeal, for the
same authority that created him a Mar
shall and Duke made Prince jerome a
General. To deny the validity of the
Princes title, is to destroy his own claim
to the high rank which he holds in the
State aud in the service.

The Hon. Henry S. Foote is giving a
number of personal "reminiscences,
through the columns Of the Washington
Chronicle. The latest is the attack on
ex-President Davis, because the latter
talked and expressed his belief on the
war questions at a recent Confederate
historical convention, held in Virginia,
and a violent attack on ex-President
Andrew Johnson, wherein he digs up
the Surratt horror, and closes in the
following style: These who undertook
to throw the vail over this terrible dere-
LECTION of Mr.. johnson assert that he
was drunk for several days about the
period of his damnable taking of, and
that he was in state Of personal con-
hnement in a certain room Of the White
House in company with two individuals,
having him at the time in charge, both
of whom have since VIGOROUSLY COM
mitted suicide.

WASHINGTON. August 26.-The Presi-
dent returns ON Wednesday.
The following report of meteroric
shower has been received at the Signal
Office in:this city from the Observer at
Colorado Springs, Colorado Territory
"On Wednesday, the 18th Of August,
a meteoric shower of some magnitude
occurred here, continuing from m. to
am, and again on the l4th instant,
from 3 am. to am, but owing to I'M
favorable circumstances, such as the
sky being almost totally obscured from
8 pm. to $40 pm. by dense masses Of
cumulous and stratum clouds in the
northeast, northwest and east, and in aa-
dition owing to the presence of a high
wind, veering from fifteen to twenty
miles an hour, blowing in intermittent
gusts from the north and northwest,
up to 1920 ,. m. the phenomenon could
only be partially observed. From that
time the wind decreased to eight miles
per hour. Between the hours of 3 and 4
am, August l4th, the sky was clear and
the wind was almost at a calm. The
party of observers consisted of George
Bochoner, Observer Signal Service,
United States army; John A. Smith,
Assistant Observer, United States army;
General Summers, Architect and Engi-
neer OF the Frontier Colony, Colorado;
Mr.. Moody, editor Of the Colorado
Springs Gazette, and Professor F. Mite
ram, of St. Louis. Observations were
taken from the meridian-stone erected
at the place by Professor Kampf, of the
United States Coast Survey. Fifty.eight
meteors were observed in all.

TIE Courier.Journal states that the
new State" movement does not appear
TO take well among the prominent men
of Western Kentucky. Colonel G. A,
C. Holt and Judge j. D. White were re-
quested to act upon committee to be
appointed to further the movement, and
both have declined. Judge White doubt
less represents the prevailing sentiment
of the Purchase when he says that,
while it is true that the people of that
section have some just grounds OF com
plant against the older portions of the
State, the grievances ARE rather OF
personal nature, relating mainly to an
unfair distribution Of the State Offices,
and that they have no ills !" worthy Of
serious complaint. 1t is not likely that
the movement would secure the sanction
of Congress as long as that body re-
mains in its present complexion, how
ever unanimous might be the sentiment
of the people in its favor, and it is quite
evident that there is decided opposi
ton to the step in the sections which
would be affected by it.

The ordinance passed by the city Of
St. Louis regulating :" the social evil "
has been legally tested in the courts.
The Judge Of the City Court ruled that
the ordinance was unconstitutional, be-
cause the law authorizing the city to
make such an ordinance was special
act applying only to st. Louis, and was
therefore in conflict with a very wise
clause in the State Constitution, which
provides that the General Assembly
shall pass no special law in any case
for which provision can be made by
general law. The case will, however, be
taken to the Supreme Court Of Missouri
and the point finally determined.
