SHALL AND WILL.

Richard Grant White, writing in the
GdlGIy, says:
Gas TO shall and will something may
doubtless be done by study, and by taking
thought to check bad habits and CORE Ct the
result of unfortunate associations. The
mistake most commonly made in the use
of these words, and the one Therefore
most carefully to be avoided, is the
use of will for shall, and Of the correspond
iny would for should. Shall is much less
often used for will. And yet in the gord
shilly-shally, which is upon everybOdy's
lin. is petrified the rule and example in re-
card to shall and viii. Shilly-shally
is merely a eOllOquial corruption Of shall
I9' and thus expressesthe condition Ofamln
who is vacillating between two courses
of conduct. Ii has been made into partici-
ple. perhaps even into verb. A man who
stands sshilly-shallying about woman IS
the ladies' say. doesn't know his own mind
about her-a mental condition for which
the sex has not the highest respect. Now
no one would say that man stood asking
himself: will /? WHIP andyet such IS
essentially the mistake most frequently
made in regard TO the use OF these
words in conversation. We hear people
saw: what will dO?' and even 'Nili /
DO thusor SOP Among people OF the Anglo
Saxon race and Of average education, the
mistake, when made, most commonly takes
the indicative form, thus; Il viii go TO
bed elegantly, retire) at 10 O'Clock to-
night or we will breakfast at to-mor-
row. instead Of i shall 90 to bed etc,
we shall breakfast etc"

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
Fifth and Last Gift Concert. I'm Aid of
the Public Library of Kentucky.

The management have determined tC
have the drawing of the Fifth and Last
Gift Concert Of the Public Library of Ken
lucky, on the 30th day Of November next.
We believe now that all the tickets will be
sold, and that the drawing will be full
one, but whether all are sold or not the
drawing will nevertheless certainly come
of on the day appointed.
The special object Of this card is to call
meeting of the ticket-hOllerS at Public
Library Hall, on the 10Th of November, to
make arrangements in connection with the
committee appointed by the Trustees to
superintend the counting Of the tags repre-
senting the numbers of tickets sold. While
there is no actual necessity for the presence
of tieset-holders, as under our arrange
ments the interests Of all are equally cared
for, yet ut the same time L would greatly
prefer that as many of those interested as
can, would attend this meeting and see
each for himself how perfectly fair and i'm
partial the distribution must be.
Every arrangement has been made for
the draHing-5ut little more than a month
remains iOr the sale of the remainder of the
tickets, and whatever is done must be done
promptly. THOs. Z. BRANfLETTE,
Agent and Manager.

MCKENZIE.

Speaking by the Candidates for Gov
ernOr-Maynard Denies Making an
Abolition Speech at Athens, but
Porter Pins if TO Him.
Special to the Unien azd American.
MCKENZIE, Tenn, Oct. 24.-The can
didates for Governor spoke here to-day, to
a large crowd. Maynard opened the dis
custom and spoke one hour and half
without the slightest applause. POrterIs
friends were enthusiastic, and applsuded
him frequently. Porter charged Maynard
with his abolition speech at Athens in 1866,
when he said he had always been one, but
had denied it for pOlicy's sake. Maynard,
in his rejoinder, bitterly denied it, and said
there was no foundation for such a report.
Porter told the audience that he had il
from a number of the best citizens of
Athens, who heard him make the speech.
The balance of the discussion was the
same as heretofore. You can put Porter
down for nearly all the whites in this sec
ton.

WASHINGTON.
Cabinet Meeting-rexns Mntters


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-An informal
meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, all
The members being present except Secreta-
ries Belknap and DelanO. Secretary Bris-
tow and Postmaster General Jewell had a
consultation with the President concerning
Federal officers in Texas, and showed to
him rercTts which are considered conf
Dental in relation TO them, made
by special agents. The only post-masters
TO be changed are those at Galveston and
Houston. The President has already,
through the Postnaster-G General, requested
them 10 resign, but they have as vet made
no response. The General can
see no good reason for making other post
Office changes in Texas, though politicians
are urging removals, that vacancies may be
supplied by persons whose chief recommen-
datiOn is their greater activity in politics.
The Postmaster-Ge desires to retain
those postmasters against whom no charges
can I.e sustained Of moral and business I'M
fitness.
Secretary BristOW Suggests Changes.
Secretary Bristow is convinced that
changes ought TO be made among certain
treasury officers i'm Texrs, and this will be
done at an early day. Business in some
cases has been so basely transacted as to
lose customs and internal revenue.
Appointments rendered.
Secretary Bristcw telegraphed to ex-GOv.
PeaSe, Of Texas, rendering him the Office
OF Collector at Galveston. The Postmaster
General has telegraphed to Mr.. Sabias at
Galveston, protering him appointment Of
postmaster at that place.

missed.
Changes in the Internal Revenue and
Postotiice departments in Texas will be
quite general. Investigation of the man
agement of these departments have been
going on quietly for some time and changes
are deemed imperative. None Of those
who have made application for Office will
be chosen. But good men, irrespective OF
political bias, will be appointed. Gov.
Pease, from whom much assistance is ex-
pected, is nos an Administration man,
having voted for Greeley.
Politicians Concerned About the No.
Vember Elections
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
The approaching November elections are
looked forward to with an interest thai has
been augmented by the Unlocked for re-
suit in Ohio end Indiana this fall. Demo
Gratis are generally sanguine that they will
make still larger gains, and will be able to
secure the control of the next House.
The Republicans are in very
anxious frame of mind, but are not
ready to concede all that their
opponents so confidently hope Cor, aud
pending the decisive day both parties are
straining every nerve to compass the vic
Tory.
All indications points to a Democratic
victory in Alabama. In Virginia tie con-
test is very iDterecting one. The Con-
gressiorai representation of that State now
stands five Republicans to four Democrats.
Good judges are of the opinion a gain of
two Democrats will certainly be made, and
perhaps three.
In Pennsylvania and New York the
Democrats are confident they will make
decided gains and the Republicans are in
alarm.

A Lunar Success,

The eclipse last night wss a COM
plete success, so to speak, and was wit
messed by several thousands of our readers,
more or less, who sat up until after mi d
night, to see a demonstration on the part
Of the heavenly bodies which has not oc-
c,irred before for eighteen years. Just as
we and the astronomers had predicted, the
eclipse began at 11:45, Nashville time, and
the moon was totally obscured at BOP this
morning, leaving the shadow entirely at
1854 An, the moon passing through the
shadow at the rate of thirty miles per
minute
A peculiar fact ABOUT eclipses is that they
appear in regular order, once only in every
eighteen years and eleven days. The
total eclipse of 1856 occurred upon
October Is, of that year. 1t was
not quite total, the moons edge being
about one-fve-hundredth part of its diam
eter outside of the shadow. At each return
of eighteen years it will pass more and
more near the centre Of the shadow, until
finally it will pass by the southern edge Of
the shadow and cease to be total. In other
words, 1000 years. hence the eclipse will
cease TO be total.

THE TEXAS EPIDEMIC.
BETTER Bear the Ills We Have Than
10 Fly 20 others That We Know Net

Winchester Home journal.
Last Wednesday some twenty-siX fam
lies left Deckerd, a town in this county
on the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
ruad, for Texas, the Lone Star empire of
the West; and we hear Of other good eiti-
Gems getting ready to 60 to the same State.
The Texas fever is prevailing in this and
Coffee counties as an epidemic.
Does = man get involved in debt?-the
REMEDY he takes is: Go to Texas.
Does a young man toll few years with
out having, in the meantime, accumulated
a large quantum of this worlds goods
the next thing you hear of him, he takes
Texas in his'n, straight.
Does fellow become entangled in the
may web of loves young dream, and his
hearts darling takes a severe liking for
t'other fellow?-the first thing be does is
to take drink, the next thing he takes is
the Lone Star Route for Texas.
Docs one become involved in personal
difficulty, and in the heat of passion take
the life of a fellow-mOrtal, or commit some
other crime which amounts 10 a felony
away he goes 70 Texas.
So we can readily see why and how it
is so many people find it convenient to
their feelings to go to that land OF prairies
and green perennial pastures.
There be others who become worn out
with forever beholding The well-wOrn red
headed-knObs that do abound in this old
settled country, and have great thirst for
a new country, where there IS more elbow
room, and where the poor man as well as
the rich can have rich land to till at nOmi-
nal prices; a country where the honest,
hOrny-handed Granger does not have to
feed away to his horses and cattle and
sheep Though the winter months what he
makes through the summer.
But then, Texas has herteTible drouths,
her cruel savages upon her borders, her
meagre timber, and her desperadOes, who
have fed the old States to avoid felOn's
fate, Has her multitudes of snakes, her
poisonous centipedes, tarantulas, ants and
lizards, which we have not. Then the
water of Texas is the great drawback to
that country. Everybody can't afford els
terms, and their water is so uDwhOle-
some the use of it produces sickness, ex-
eept in those sections which are inclined
TO be mOuntainOus-there they have good
water.
Taking everything into consideration,
there is not better or healthier country
on the globe than old Tennessee, and We
regret 70 learn that so many of our citizens
have left us, and that Others are preparing
to 20. But, while many are going, some
are coming back, and others would come if
they could. This disposition to migrate is
peculiar to the Caucasian race, and it
shows a restless disposition and desire
% make new cOnquests, to look on new
scenes, and to grapple with new difficulties
and obstacles in LIES grand highway.

STRANGE SCENE IN AN ENGLISH
THEATRE

An extraordinary incident, says the
London Echo, occurred in the theatre at
Manchester. Mr.. Sims Reeves was play
ing Capt. Macheath in "The Beggars'
Opera" and the piece proceeded pretty
smoothly down to the end of the third act.
At this point, when the associates of Capt.
Maeheath should rush on the stage and
triumphaHkly announce his reprieve, the
supers were not forthcoming. Mr.. Reeves
advanced to the foot-lights, and, attribut-
ing the hitch TO Mr.. Henry's mismanage
ment, said he was never so disgraeed in his
life. He waited quietly until the supers,
one by one, had come on the stage, and
then said 10 the audience, who had eheered
him loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, you
should call for the manager" This was
done amid great uprOar, but MIR. Henry
did not appear. Mr.. Reeves then said,
ave will not finish the opera" whereupOn
the audience dispersed in the greatest dis
order, and freely expressed disapProbation
of the management.
