ERRoR.-Last week, IN writing OF the
colored Masonic Celebration IN this city,
types made us say that the lodge was
chartered in 1871, when they should have
said July the 18th 1877 We also failed 10
mention the eloquent address OF Bishop
Lane. From competent Judges VIC learn
that the Bishops address on the occasion
was worthy Of his high character for in
telllgence, conservatism and plcty. No
colored man stands higher in this COM
munity, than Bishop Lane. His career
has been full Of gOOd-works and utterly
devoid OF pcrnIcious teachings or example.

~ The event of the most import

~ The event of the most import
ance to Tennessee during the cur
rent year is, the election Of legis-
lature. One with the brains to sue
cessfully grapp!e with the difficult
financial problems, with which the
State is now hedged about, is imper-
atively demanded. The financial
standing of the State will depend
entirely upon the next Legislature.
During the past few years it has had
a reasonable excuse for not paying
the interest on her debt, and making
provisions for its ultimate redemp-
ton, but that excuse is now no long
er available. The redemption of
Tennessee bank notes imposed upon
the State by judicial decision, rem
dered the payment of interest i'm
possible until these notes were re-
deemed, and creditors, knowing this,
have not lost faith. But the time
will soon come when the tide must
turn some way or the other. Within
the next fifteen months, our credit
will either become first class, or it
will fall nominalIy to nothing. All
will depend upon the character Of
the legislature to be chosen. There
has probably never been an election
where the choice of bad or incom-
petent legislature would have proved
more disastrous to the credit of the
State. than the one now approaching.
Though the liabilities are heavy, the
abilities of the State to successfully
meet them is unquestiened, If her re-
sources are properly utilized.-Chat-

DEATH OF THE $4o,6 600 COW

We learn frem the last n. Z. SPIRIT
oftke Times, that the eighth Ouch
ess of Geneva, the noted high priced
Short horn COW of the late sale at
New York Mills, is dead. She was due
to calMa about a week ago, but owing
to Misrepresentation Of the f@tus
she suffered greatly, and finally de-
Evered her calf dead. 1t was at the
time thought that she would recover
and still prove of great value to her
spirited owner, but fever set in, and
despite the best medical assistance
she died a few days after. Although
this cow was bid off at Mr.. Camp
BELLS sale for $4,000 by the agent
of Mr.. r. PAWN Davies of Glouces-
tershire, Eng. it was through mad
vertence on his part, as in the ex-
citement of the moment he LOST sight
of the relative values of the curren-
cies Of the two countries, and bid
more than he supposed. In view OF
this fact she was, by request Of Mr.
Davies, resold for his account to our
own countryman, Col. Lewis G. Nor
ris of Fordham, n. Y. for $3O,6O0,
the same price that was paid for her
daughter. 1st Duchess of Oneida, at
the sale mentioned, the purchaser
being Lord Skilmersdale of England.
This loss to Col. Morris will be a
matter of regret to Short-horn breed
ers throughout the country. In a
financial point ofview it is, Of course,
a severe one, but we apprehend that
the disappointment, in anothePsense,
will be felt much more keenly, by
the spirited and enthusiastic breed
ers upon whom it directly falls. The
plans and expectations frustrated
by the inopportune loss Of the COW
cannot be readily righted, though
the price were again willingly forth
canning for her duplicate.

Another MAN wanted.

Old farmer Pettingill went into his
house one day and caught John, the
hired man, hugging Mrs. 2.
The farmer said nothing, and went
out into the field.
After dinner he wanted John for
something, but.John was not to be
found.
He went at last into Johns room.
where the latter was on his knees
packing his trunk.
"What's the matter, John?' said
2.
so, nothing" replied John.
"What are you packing your trunk
for?''
"Tm going away"
"Going away what are you going
away for?'
80, you know" answered John.
mo, 1 don't know rejoined P;
"Come, give me the reason OF
your sudden desire to go away
WELL" meekly answered John,
you know what you saw me doing
this morning.
80, pshaw p laughed Pettingill;
"Do not be so foolish. If you and
me can't hug the old woman enough,
I'll hire another man.

Vhat a real Lady never Does.

WI at a Real Lady Never Does.
The woagan who is more or less
greene or snobbish borrows clothes,
ribbons, jeWelry and hornets with
which to dress. The genuine lady
never is guilty of such degradation.
The heightened woman Is above hav-
ing articles of dress or jewelry in
common with another; she. never
will run to borrow new gloves, new
ribbons, new cloaks, shawls and
other articles. of apparel with which
to cut dash. To dress a mud lark
in yellow feathers does not make a
canary, nor will dressing woman
in borrowed plumage transform her
into lady.
Men seldom display such weak
nesses. The real gentleman never
will appear in borrowed articles of
dress or jewelry. Nor will the
woman who has real pride of charac-
ter so cheaper herself as to appear
in goods not her own.
A gentlemen friend of ours, who
loves his wife dearly, was constantly
buying for her costly and beautiful
articles. He filed her lap with such
little things as he saw from time TO
time which he thought would please
her. She lived in boarding house
and WAS very popular. One day her
husband noticed that she was with
cut certain articles he had bought
her a short time before. He began
to inquire and learned that her land
lady had borrowed her furs to wear
to market; that her sister had bor-
rowed her furs to wear to market !;
that her sister had borrowed Of her
jewelry and other choice articles to
wear to a party; that lady friend
had borrowed her new bonnet to
wear on the street, and that scarce
lv one of the beautiful articles he
had bought for his wife because he
loved her and wished her to have
them, was in her possession. Who
ever should see her in company even
with her own articles on her person,
would think they we're borrowed of
those to whom she had loaned them
rather than to loose their friendship.
AS the articles were returned to
their owner, some of them torn,
broken, soiled and damaged, like a
sensible man he through them into
the fire and told his wife that if she
did not love him enough to keep for
her own use such ornaments as he
bought for her alone, she might buy
for herself hereafter. There is no
difference between a borrower and a
beggar; except the borrower is the
most selfish of tie two, and the least
entitled to respect.-Pomeroy's Dem

A good advertisement insures
business connection on the most per-
manent basis; and is, in a certain
sense, a guarantee to the customer
of fair and moderate prices. Ex-
perience has shown that the dealer
whose wares have obtained a public
celebrity is not only enabled to sell,
but is forced to sell at reasonable
rates and to furnish good article.
If you are only able to spend $50
or 500 a year in advertising. you
had better devote at least One-half
the sum to a regular advertisement
or card as large or small as it will
paw for, and the balance to special
advertising or "local notice at the
opening of the season" or when
YOU have special advantages to offer
your customers. The standing adj
vertisement which you keep in the
paper all the year round, keeps you
before the attention of the readers
OF q paper for all the time far better
than the sign over your store attracts
the attention Of the passers-by, and
when they want anything in your
line they are apt to remember you,
from having seen yenr name con-
stantly in their paper. The best
rule for an advertiser is a certain
amount of advertising all the time,
and twice that amount in your own
particular season"

How to Estimate the Ages OF
Horses.

HOW 10 GStAkHhAAC ING nj CS OA
Horses.
The question of arriving at a hor-
ses age after he pas passed his ninth
year has been q long-mooted one,
but little IA. tn deing placed in any
of the laws laid down on the subject.
1t will be recollected that a short
time since a correspondent of the
Turf gave as an infallible test that
after the ninth year wrinkle APP
peared on the upper corner Of the
lower lid of the eye, and that each
wear thereafter an additional wrinkle
appears so that a horse with four
wrinkles would be thirteen years
old. This, though a new wrinkle to
great many, is pronounced q fail
ure. A correspondent in the Cleye-
land Herald is out with another test.
lie says: I'm our study we have
found by passing the hand from the
head toward the shoulder near the
bottom of the neck, that at four
years there is a little ball or knob
about six inches from the gullSt,s or
laws. At the expiration of every
four years another little ball forms
about three inches from the first, and
so every four years new ball OF
knob forming This is quite i'm
practical as the other tests, for, IL
accepted, a horse at four years old
would remain four until he got to be
eight, and he would remain at eight
until he got to be twelve, etc.-TufJ
