MERCHANT TAILORING.

When In the course Of wear and tear
of every day life 1t becomes necessary
to dissolve our connection with the suits
that have done us so much services in
keeping us warm and free from expo
sure, there is one place where we can
find consolation and friend indeed in
our distress. Yea, place where we
can safely put our trust-where there
Is no need offear that we shall be cheat
ed, unsuited or nsatis6ed-where the
fabric Is strong and the manufacture
superb where the prices are Just and
and the style all that can be desired.
There Is charm about an easy, glove
lifting, elastic suit, that is seen and OBJ
served by all men. "Where did you
get that superb suit Of clothes?" "Where
did you secure such a splendid fitting
garment" is often asked. There are
many tailors, and number of them
are undOubtly fair samples of the genus
homo and also a credit to the craft; bu:
how generally tailors fail in the fitting
of garments to the human form; how
often a good piece of goods Is spoiled in
the 1T; how sadly and dejectedly manya
man wanders about the streets, feel
ing the shame the tailor has caused him,
in allowing a poor job to go out of his
shop, and he the wearer of It'll Perhaps
his lady love has even Tilted him in con-
sequence of his f0rlOrn appearance.
Dress makes the man;
The want oft the fellow
Not that man is less man for wear
ing plain clothes, but when he is "dress-
ed up" he should indeed be dressed not
having his cloths hang like bags around
him, and wrinkled and distored in all
sorts of shapes, but that he should be
clad in fitting garments. Taste should
be shown both in the colors and make
up of his suit. Many high priced goods
are af such outlandish cOlors and styles
that mans character is judged by his
foolishly selecting those odd goods. A
man is known by the company he keeps,
and if he insists upon fraternizing with
ill-looking and ill-fitting clothes, he
will not make his "mark," as man of
taste, that's positive. To be looked up
on as possessing the requisite attain
ments of tasty gentleman, he must
select cloths of suitable cOlors for his
clothing and have them made up in first
class style by Laury & Peters, (post
office building), Lehighton, Pa, who
have splendid stock to select from, and
where you will obtain that symmetry of
fit so necessary to the adornment of the
person. Call and examine the most
beautiful assortment of cloths, cassimers
and vestings, ever brought into Lehigh-
ton, and your measure with Laury

THE STATE sUPERINTENDEECY OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.
GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf.

The free school issue is the most i'm
portant one now before the people of
Tennessee. The system must be per-
fected, popularized and put to practical
working. This is essential to our
future prosperity. To effect this, We
mnst have a man at the head who Is a
practical wOrkingman, a popular and
influential man, who can grapple with
this question in plain, practical, work
ing way, clearing it of all red tape,
keeping it free from all complications
of one kind or another, arising from
politics, book-publishers, theorists, and
new-fangled humbugs-a man who is
honest, earnest, capable, and possessed
of the confidence of the people. We
know Of such a man-one who has Ia
bored for the good Of the State and its
people, with marvellous energy. We do
not know whether he would acceptit, but
we do know that if Mr.. J. B. Kille-
brew will accept the appointment of
Superintendent, it would not interfere
with his duties as one OF the Agricul-
tural Board. We know that he would
not accept the Office in 1873, but, then,
the duties pertaining to his contem-
plated work on the resources of the
State, were of such a character that
the duties of both could not have been
discharged by one man. Now, it is
different, and we believe one man could
and should attend to both. We hope
such an arrangement may be made,
and we suggest his name, not knowing
whether it would be accepted or Is de-
sired by him, but as the suggestion of
those who have the free schools warmly
at heart, and earnestly desire success,
and as our own opinion of the man
best fitted to inspire confidence, TO or
ganize and to carry out a system of
free schools.

On reading the full text Of the Sen
ate currency hill, which came to hand
only yesterday, and is published else
where, we find that the third sectionabol-
ishes all provisions ''for the withdrawal
or redistribution Of national currency
among the several States" Hitherto
there has been a pretence at distribute
ing national bank circulation among
the several sections, In proportion to
their needs and population. The dis
tribution has never been effected be-
cause the swapping of Sis in green
backs for $50 in bank notes is not cal
culated to increase the circulation in
any given locality. Now, the pretense
at any effort toward proper distribu-
ton is openly abandoned. Meanwhile
rich New ENGLAND can bank on its
bonds. and draw interest on them at
the same time. The bill promises us
an increase of the banking monopoly,
with a steady decrease. of greenbacks.
l. hight as well be entitled bill to
give New England a monopoly Of the
banking business of the country. The
Western Republicans who voted for it
will soon find they have been sold
again.

THE Nelg York Times endeavOrs, by
means of an illustration, to point out
the necessity for reforming criminals
as a matter of economy. 1t states that
some seventy years ago woman named
Margaret, a sort Of human Canada
thistle, was set adrift in the river coun-
ties, where she lived long and became
unnecessarily fertile. She has orgi-
mated family of 900 descendants since
then, about zoo of whom have turned
oct idiots, imbeciles, paupers, drunk
ards, prostitutes and petty criminals.
The remaining 200 have become vigor-
GUS and hearty rosues Of a
more determined and dangerous
sort, and Margaret's charming prog
eny is still spreading, every
year adding to the number, for rank
weeds grow apace. To estimate the
amount of money this outcast Marga-
ret has cost would be as difficult as to
compute the damage she and hers have
done to public morals.

ANOTHER God-in-the-C Constitution
Convention has Just ended its sessions
IN Boston. 1t was poorly attended.
The resolutions claim that this nation
WIS founded by Christians, that unsec-
tartan Christianity has always been
part of our common law, and that the
lack of any recognition of God in the
Constitution is made the pretext of as
s2ults on orthodox religion. The de-
mand is further urged on the ground
that "such an expression and authenti-
cation of the connection Of our govern
ment with Christianity Is now required
fully and explicitly to harmonic our
national Constitution with our State
