gE- The result of the recent canvass
for members Of the General Assembly
is gratifying not alone on account of the
material which win compose that body,
but also because It viii be thoroughly
and overwhelmingly Democratic. We
have no discord and dissensions to .heal
In our ranks, but the legislature viii
stand as a unit upon all questions of i'm
portance that can be brought before
that body. Mr.. Maynard and the Re
publican party made the canvass almost
personal one. Their attack and
abuse was wholly directed against Gov.
Brown and his administration. Upon
this ground the battle was fought.
Gov. Brown did not seek to evade the
issue. On the contrary he accepted the
wager of battle when rendered, and
was the first man in the State to raise
his voice, as he did in his speech at Pu-
laski, against any and all side issues.
He was W Hing to stand or fall by the
record, and when the issue came the
people of Tennessee sustained him in
his struggles by an overwhelming ma
jority. If such side issues as the cleo
ton Of u. S. Senator had been allowed
TO enter into the canvass, as was sought
to be done by Mr.. johnson, and consti-
tute one of its important features, in
stead of only eight republican members
ofthe General Assembly, we would have
at most only a bare majority of demo-
Gratis. The warning notes Of Gov. Brown
tocast aside these considerations and look
alone TO the selection of good and true
men, and, beyond all question, staunch
democrats, was taken up by the press
and stump orators of the State, and re-
suited in the election Of an Assembly SC
thoroughly democratic that naught now
remains but to reap the result in the en-
actment of wholesome laws, and in the
selection of a Senator who will truly
represent the spirit of the TENNESSEE
democracy Of to-day, and not that Of 81
or that of '65-whe is progressive anG
not vlndietive, who will labor for futur,
development and success instead of re
pining and grumbling over the past.

or "nip" a prayer-book from "a dying
heather, and still have some chance fOT

Vile Chronicle (RadieaD into the Union
d american OF Tuesday says:
'It seems to me that the Republicans
in the Tennessee Legislature could do no
better than to vote for johnson. = y
The election of Andrew johnson to the
u. 5. Senate would be of incalculable
advantage to the Republican party"
Mr.. j. will undoubtedly be the candi-
date of the Republican party, and yet
there are said to be Democrats who will
support him. 1t is strange that Demo-
Gratis can find anything to admire in a
man that kicks out of the traces when
ever he likes, and hobnobs with Radi-
calism for personal promotion. And it
will be surprising strange to see a DEM
ocratic Legislature, whom he has char
acterized as corrupt, support him. We
cannot and win not believe that Demo-
Gratis viii affiliate with Republicans in
support Of this corrupt old disorganizer.

THE RELIABLE NEW FAMILY
Singer sewing MACHINE i!

Still here and
Doing a Good Business
THE table Of Sewing Machine Sales for
L 1878 shows that our sales last year
amounted to 232.444 1.-TWO hundred and
thirty-two thousand, tour hundred and forty
four) Machines, being large increase over
the sales Of the previous year (1sT2.)
The table also shows that our sales EX-
CEED THOSE OF ANY OTHER
COMPANY. for the period named, By the
number of 1925 MACHINES or near
iy double those of any other Company.
1t may be further stated that the sales Of
1873, as compared with those of 1879, show &
relatively larger increase, beyond the sales
of other makers than of any other year.
For instance, in 1872 we sold A5 900 more
Machines than any other Company, whereas,
in 1878, the sales were
liz, 254 Machines In Excess of Our
Highest Competitor.
These figures are all the more remarkable.
for the reason that the sales of the principal
Companies in 1878 are LESS THAN
THEIR SALES IN 1872: whereas, as
has been shown. OUR SALES HAVE
LARGELY INCREASED.
The account of sales is from sworn returns
made to the owners of the Sewing Ma
chine Patents.
1t win hardly be denied, that the superb
ority of the SINGER MACHINE is full
ly demonstrated-at all events that their
popularity in the household is unques ton
able. W. H. WHITE, Ag t., Pulaski.

DIDN'T LIKE IT.-Who can help ad-
miring the Roman stoicism Of the Ar.
kansas judge who said, after one lawyer
had shot another dead in the Court room;
"Look yeer, if you keep fooling around
in this yeer way, I'll commit some Of
you for contempt" Equal to this in pa-
tient suffering was the gentleman who
lives in Goats street, who, when he en-
tered the basement dining-room the 9TH
er evening, found no one there, and no
preparations for the evening meal. He
went up to the parlor and there he found
his wife sitting on sofa with a young
man by her side, and the mans arm
around her waist.
See here" said this mild husband,
" / don't like this kind of thing. Why
isn't my supper ready?"
Il didn't like to make it," said the
loving wife.
" What are you sitting there letting
that fellow hug you for?"
Because 1 like to do it,"
81 tell you what it is, Anne" and his
face assumed a fierce look Of passion, " if
this state Of things continue much longer,
I'll get mad, you bet your life."

ed as wishing to continue their subscrip-

AN inebriate, some little time back
got into a car in Boston, and became very
troublesome and annoying to the other
passengers, so much so that it was pro.
posed to eject him; but genial and
kind-hearted reverend doctor, who was
also passenger, lnterposed for him, and
soothed him into good behavior for the
remainder Of the journey. Before leav-
ing, however, he scowled upon the occu-
pants of the car, and muttered some
words Of contempt, but shook hands
warmly with the doctor, and said -
Good-day, my friend ; l see you know
what it is to be drunk"

A SAD HoUR.-There came a morn
ing at last when the babys eyes did not
open. DR.. Erskine felt the heart throb
family under his fingers, but he knew it
was beating its last. He trembled for
the mother, and dare not tell her She
anticipated him.
Doctor" she said-and:her voice was
SO sopassionless itmight almost have belong
ed to a disembodied spirit-"I know
that my darling is dying"
He bowed his head mutely. Her very
calmness awed him.
"Is there anything you can do to case
her?"
Nothing. do not think that she
suffers"
"Then will you please go away? She
is mine-nobodys but mine, in her life
and in her death, and want her quite to
myself at the last"
Sorrowfully enough he left her.
The mother held her child closely, but
gently. She thought in that hour that
she had never loved anything else-never
in this world should love anything again.
She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry
and burning, and not tear fell upon the
upturned face, changing so fast to mar
bic. She bent over, and whispered some
thing in the baby's cara wild, passion
ate prayer that it would remember her,
and know her in the infinite spaces. A
look seemed to answer her-a radiant,
loving look, which she thought must be
born of the near heaven. She pressed
her lips in last despairing agony of love
to the little face, from which already, as
she kissed it, the little soul had fed. Her
white wonder had gone home. This
which lay upon her hungry heart was
stone.

Az APT SUNDAY School SCHOLAR
The following story, though not new,
has sufficient point and humor to merit
its publication at least once year:
Some roughish boys in town near the
capital Of New Hampshire, persuaded
Joseph Jasper, or, as he was generally
called, Joe, to attend the Sabbath School.
Joe was an oVegrown, half-witted, pro-
fine lad, and the boys anticipated fun
but the various questions propounded to
him were SO rapidly and correctly an
swered that no one could for moment
suppose that he was not versed in theo-
logical lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed
upon settee in front of one on which
his friends were seated, and examina-
tion commenced.
The teacher first questioned the class on
their regular lessons, and then turned
toward Joe.
My friend, who made the world we
inhabit?"
Just as he was about to answer the ques-
ton, one Of the boys seated behind him
inserted pin in Joe's pants about nine
inches below the ornamental buttons of
his coat.
" "G0d AImightyE" answered Joe, at
the same time rising to his feet,
THAT is correct" answered the teach
err" but it is not necessary that you
should arise in answering sitting pos
ture is just as we'll"
Joe was seated, aid the catechism pro-
ceeded.
Who died to save the world2"
The pin was again inserted,
"JeSus Christ :" in a louder tone than
before, again rising to his feet.
That is correct, but do not manifest
so much feeling do be little more re-
served in your manners" said the teach
er, in an expostulating tone of voice.
What will be the final doom of all
wicked men?" was the subject now up
for consideration, and as the pin was
again stuck in, Joe thundered out with
Q still higher elevation of his body:
+" Hell and Ddnanatton :"
"My friend, you give the answers to
all tho questions correctly, but while
you are here we wish you to be little
more mild in your words. Do, if you
can, restrain your enthusiasm, and give
less extended scope to your feelings"

THE MOSLEM BRIDE.

We called yesterday on the daughter
of Mohammedan living in thise city
(TripolD.
Though the girl had been married sew
eral days she had never been seen by her
husband. lie only had gone to the mos
que when the ceremony was performed,
she taking no part in it. After the GER
emony, the bride usually stays at her
fathers house nine days, during which
time she sits in state, decked in her finest
dress and jewels, receiving calls from
her friends. Then her joy is at an end.
She must go TO her husband, take off her
fine clothes, and become perfect slave,
subject to the will of her cruel master.
The parents of this bride were very poor.
Her mother was dressed in little better
than rags, and was at the ;dngUa wash
ing clothes. All the women of the brides
company had their hair plated full Of
gold coins these were hcirlooms, and so
greatly treasured that woman would
almost starve sooner than part with one.
The present given by the family to the
bride was an elegant pale-blue brocade
silk dress and black silk embroidered
with gold. The former cost $3.50. The
bridegroom's presents were a sumptous
lilac silk, heavily embroidered with gold !;
earrings Of pearls and gold, bracelets
as wide as finger. During the call
she wore the bridegroom's presents. The
other dresses were hung spread out on
the wall. 6
We stopped at house below, accord
ing to custom, and sent word we were
coming. The bride returned answer that
she would be most happy to salute us.
After waiting about twenty minutes we
went up stairs, for she lived on the sec
ond floor. She had not quite finished her
toilet, and sat on the floor before large
mirror, surrounded by her fnery. As
we entered she arose and salut ed us, and
then returned composedly to her dressing.
OF all the strange and ghastly sights, her
face was the most wonderful, as may
well be imagined, from the way in which
~ was p4Op"l Cb'
First, hot wax was spread over the
whole face, which, when cool, was peeled
of. This was done to remove all the
hair from the face. Then whiting was
rubbed on till the skin looked like mar
bic. Her eyebrows were painted jet
black, her lips and large spot on each
check painted brilliant red. On these
red spots, on her forehead, and at the
corners Of her mouth, gilt flowers were
pasted. Then over her whole face pow
dered sugar had been snapped, which
made it sparkle as if with diamond
dust" She wore pearl earrings, and
around her neck were o string of large
amber beads, three strings of roped
pearls, and a curious necklace, which we
were privately told was borrowed for the
occasion. 1t was made Of gold five
pound pieces, overlapping each other
like scales. The usual headdress was
covered with real and artificial flowers.
The finishing touch wns put an in the
shape Of piece of black wax heated over
the canoon till very hot, made round and
fiat, and then stuck between the eyes,
