Amid your passionate weeping,
And the glow from my eager prayer was

By the chill around Us creeping;
From the silent paths, where IN summer

Youth, joy, and music had met together,
From the cry Of the sea-mews fitting past,
over the Wild white waves in the bitter

From the breakers that crash'd on the

IEN. JAcKsoS PRorEcrING A coURl

Twill give you another scene in
General Jackson's hfe not found in
Parton. Gen. Jackson was the AttOr-
ney General for all Middle Tennes-
see. The two Kirkendalls were the
great bullies of that creek. They
were spirited and powerful men,
They held that the sitting of the
eourt taking such jurisdiction inva-
ded their dominions, and they went
in q bullying manner and dispersed
the court, aud ordeEec 1t never to
meet again. Gen. Jackson heard of
it, and attended the next term, carry
ing upon his arm his saddle-bags,
containing his long, black bulldogs.
He placed his ssddle-bags in q corner
of the house. The Justice took the
bench, and the Sheriff proclaimed the
court open. The KirkeDdalls appear
ed and ordered the court to disperse.
In the confusion and terror Of the
hour, the Sheriff failed to arrest the
parties and restore order. At this
juncture Gen. Jackson appeared be-
fore the court and denounced the bull
lies and their conduct, and told the
court if they would appoint him their
officer he would arrest them and have
order. His proposition was readily
accepted. jackson seized one of the
who was terror 10 the
county; they chnched, and got out
side, and being on the edge of the
bluff, the bully threw Jackson, and
they rolled over and over down the
bluff into the creek When the bully
thought he had conquered Jackson he
left him. But the old game-cock came
up the hill, as wet as an OF
ter, III search of his bulldogs He
grasped them and pointing one at
each of the bullies, arrested them and |
brought them before the court. They |
we're heavily fined and order was re-
stored, and the thanks of the court |
we're extended to Gen. Jackson.

MONEY FAMINE IN THE South

MONEY FAMINE IN THE SOUTH g.
Whilst some insist that money is
abundant, others promptly repudi-
ate the assertion. Money, it seems,
is abundant with the banks, but it
is with them for specific purpose
the purchase of cotton. Outside
of the immediate cotton-ring, we
can see no relief at hand, to dissi-
pate the present gloom hanging o.
yer the South, and which has been
growing darker year by year since
the late disturbance.
Our farming community, devot-
ing themselves exclusively to cot
ton, are, in a great measure, pur-
suing 8 suicidal course. The neg
lect of grain is causing an immense
drain Of money from South 10 North.
Upon the article of flour alone let US
see the change that exists from sew
enteen years ago. In 1857 there
were several -four mills IN this city
that turned out not less than 76, 800
barrels of -four per annum, which,
at an average of s. per barrel,
amounted 10 SSS4,00O, nearly the
whole of which remained in the
State, as the reward of wheat grow
ing-wages to laborers and profits
to millers- Now this amount is lost
from the profits on cotton, aud is
shipped directly North for -four.
The same may be shown in regard
to meal, bacon aud other provisions.
Home production of these must
take place if cotton profits are to
benefit US financially in the least,
Again, take hay, an article great
" neglected by our planters, which
is brought from the North, whilst
with a little care at least at one-half,
if not the whole amount consumed
in Memphis might be raised in the
surrounding country. A gentle
man in this city, who owns a planta-
tiOn not twenty miles distant, in
formed US that he had at least TWEEN
ty acres Of fine grass running to
waste, while at the same time he is
purchasing Northern products tC
feed his COW in this city.
The cry may be raised against
our large nOn-producing class, but
great amount of blame still at.
taches to those who devote all their
energies to raising cotton only

HINTS To SITTERs.-HoW many
people there are in the world who,
though really fine looking, do not
make q good picture. Sometimes
this is the fault of the photograph
er, but Oftener the sitter is alone to
blame. For the benefit of those
who would like to know the most
successful way of producing a pic
ture of themselves or their dear
ones, we cOAdense a few valuable
hints.
Early in the day is without doubt
the best time to select for sitting,
as then you are not so fatigued or
harassed. 1t is a mistake to choose
a very bright day. The best light
is obtained when the sky is clOuded
and the sun shining through the
clouds. Some fancy they can sit
without the head-rest; but that is
not so, as even the mere act of pull
sation will cause a movement that
ruins the photograph. Wink if you
must while sitting, but keep your
eyes fixed on one spot.
Avoid all forced or unnatural eX-
pressions. Do not give the photo
graph thought, but try to f2sten
your mind on some pleasant train of
ideas. Do not be taken in the height
of fashion, for when that changes,
as it usually does in six months
time, it makes YOU look absurdly
conspicuous.
Ladies with long necks should
wear side curls and arrange their
hair low. Never pile the hair on
top. Ruffs in the neck are becom-
ing, as they take of the long look.
Short-necked ladies with broad
faces need to dress exactly contrary,
wearing dresses low in the neck,
with hair done up high. Low fore
heads should have the hair combed
back, while high foreheads can add
curls and friZZes on the brow. All
colors may be worn, if it is a real
artist who is taking the picture, as
he can produce beautiful results /;
but ordinarily, black. very dark
green, olive or brown look best. A
rich brown will look almost like
velvet. Pure white, unbrOken by
colOrs takes nicely. Do not "get
yourself up for the occasion;" that
is, do not curl your hair when you
never wear it so, but dress about as
you generally do every day, so that
your friends will recognize you, and
you will not be obliged to say,
"Thats me; but l wore my hair
curled just then. don't wear it so
now"
With regard to children, let the
person accompanying them get
them into a real good humOr before
hand, then leave them in the hands
of the operator. Never threaten a
child if It won't sit, for he then i'm
bibes the idea that it must be
dreadful undertaking; nor coax it
with sweetmeats. Avoid startling
plaidS or gaudy colors, but do not
put dark dresses on them. Let the
operator choose their position

Mr.. Beecher has several times with
in the past five or six years made
witten aud verbal statements to the
officers of different life insurance
companies, that he was in physically
sound condition, and free from any
ailment, excepting touches of hay
fever. In view of the above assertion
on Beecher's part, there is consider
able surprise expressed at his state
ment in his defence that he has,
since 1870, suffered from symptoms OF
apoplexy and paralysis. An officer
of a life insurance company has writ
ten q letter for publication in one OF
the daily papers, in which he calls
attention to these startling discrep-
