WE learn that the Changers, about
Knoxville, have established tannery,
and shoe-shop in connection with it.
This is an achievement which, as re-
formers, they may well be proud of.
1t not only develops an important in
dustry, but multiplies consumers of
their agricultural products. One such
establishment is worth dozen supply
stores and, being strictly in the line of
development contemplated by the
founders of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry," it provokes no outside
ill-will, but wins strength to the Or
der, bystrengthening public confidence
in the uprightness of its motives and
the Importance of the work it pro-
poses to do. We wish the Changers of
this county would go and do like
wise" There is superior tannery in
this place-being consumed by time
and rust-and a good opening for the
manufacture of plain. substantial boots
and shoes.

The st. Louis Globe tells a plain
truth in the following words: The
business of Journalism will continue to
be an inviting field for experiments to
those who have large amount of ego
tism. If a man, who, having edited
newspaper until he was forty, should
announce himself lawyer. he would
be regarded as fool by the legal pro-
fession; and yet We often hear of law
yers of forty suddenly making preten-
sions to journalism. There is an idea
that the business of editing requires
no apprenticeship; that editors come
forth from law Offices and colleges, full
ly armed for the profession, like Pal
las from the brow of Job. tits mis-
take. There is not in America to-day
a single journalist, of national reputa-
ton, who has not devoted more time
and more hard work to his profession
than, with equal fitness and applica-
ton, would have made him a great
lawyer or a good doctor; and yet. nine
ty out of every hundred men you meet
on the street can, according to their
own idea, edit any newspaper in the
country better than il is edited.

Hon. j. NJ. QUARLEs, an ex-mem-
Der of Congress, distinguished Ten
nessee lawyer, and an old and promi-
,nent citizen of this place, was once on
time accidentally made steamboat
captain, which the same happened
thusly: In the winter of 1857, the Vee
Kay Ess, disreputable craft of the
hind wheel persuasion, departed from
the Mouth of Smithland with seventy
FIVE or thirty passengers on board, one
of whom the genial Monk was which.
Soon after the boat got under way the
regular captain, our worthy friend, Ben
+. Egan, was taken sick, when he
turned over the command of his an
cient craft to the valiant General, who
willingly accepted the situation, went
upon the roof as proudly as ever did
Tom Hartman, in the palmy days of the
bully Tyrone, rang the bell often, let
his mouth swing round loose at every
landing, and INDUCED muchly in cuss
words. The people along shore won
dered greatly at the new skipper, and
asked among themselves, who in the
hill is that Captain man, anyhow?

BETHEL FEMALE COLLEGE, at Hop
kinsyille, KY, and under the Presi-
dency of Prof. j. W. Rust, is, we are
happy to learn, a decided success.
There are few men better qualified,
than he, for the management of such
an institution. Natural mind, appro-
pirate study and experience, combined
with unfagging energy and zeal, have
given the requisite learning and a de-
cided tact, in imparting his knowledge
to others. Few teachers attain this art,
so important in the instruction of
youth-how to teach, is more import
tant question, than what to teach.
Prof. Rust has solved this question,
and hence his signal success. The
next session will commence the 18th of
January next.

RoUGH DIAMoNDs-The perfor-
nance ofthis company on Friday night
of last week, was attended by large
audience, and was one of the very best
ever given here by an amateur troupe.
andindeed surpassed any entertainment
ola similar kind given here lately. The
performers were all in excellent trim,
and from the rising of the curtain at
the opening until its going down at the
close, the interest never tagged.
Where all did so we'll, it is hard to say
who or what was best, but the rendi-
ton of the "Mulligan Guards" by
Messrs. Mattill. Hodgson, Averitt and
Whitfield, was so well received by the
audience and so loudly encored we can
not refrain from speaking of it. We
have seen it presented by professionals
of well earned reputation, but never
have seen it given in a manner more
acceptable to an audince. In word
it was faultless.
The singing of Messrs. Jackson,
Forbes, Moore, FARRELL, and others, the
dancing of Tarpley aud Whitfield,
and jokes and acting of Mattill. Hodg-
son, Reynolds. Averitt, White6eld,
Moore and Tarpley were excellent and
the audience expressed their appreci-
alton of the entire programme by fire.
queut and hearty applause. If the
young gentlemen will keep their enter
tainments up to the standard attained
on that night, they will merit and re-
ceive most liberal patronage from
our citizens.

in its membership the finest musical
talent-Mrs. G.. D. Prentice, NJ s
