Mr.. BROwS AND HIS UMBRELLA
Brown stood for over an hour on a street
corner the other day, holding a gigantic
umbrella over him. Wnen any of his ac-
quaintances not similarly provided-who
the day before would scarcely cendescend
to give him a nod of ecOgnition-happen
cd to see him, they would smilingly salute
him, inquire how he felt, were all the fam
lily well, etc, winding up by asking him if
he was going up or down, as the case might
be. "Yes, directly" Brown would say.
wait a moment After waiting some
time, and repeated nudges having failed to
bring him, the friend who was solicitous
about Browns health would attempt to
emerge from the shelter of the umbrella,
when Brown would impoltune him to wait
n moment longer. asking him after he had
already waited five TO ten minutes what
was his particular hurry. At last the
friend-who could not perceive anything so
very funny in the neighborhood that should
produce such broad grin on Brown-with
look on his face as though he had lust
discovered that he cashcd a bogus check,
wouldsdive from under the umbrella and
walk off as if he was mad at something.

WHAT KILLED THE "WEEKLY" HER
ALD.-Fiftecn or sixteen years ago man
named Harvey started weekly paper at
Williamson Iugham county, called the
Herald. The town was small, the times
dull, and Harvey was propably the LATEST
editor who ever had anything 10 do with a
Michigan paper. The citizens encouraged
him all they could, and finally the gentle
man who had furnished most Of the capital
dropped into the office one Friday to see
Harvey and spur him up little. 1t was
publication day, but the outside only, half
made up, was on the stone, and not a line
had been set for the inside. Harvey was
in the yard back of the office digging fish
worms, and was called in.
''Sce here, Harvey, you are not doing as
you should" commenced the gentleman :;
'here it is Friday, and you haven't worked
the first side of your paper"

editor, looking in the drawer for fish line

"But this is no way To no business Mr.
Harvey. When you came here didn't YOU
agree to issue the paper every Friday ?s'

'but-I-did-not not-know-the-Iis hing

He took his rod and went to the banks
of the Cedar, and when he returned the of

NEW TREATMENT FOR CONSERVATIVES
A foreign paper says: DR.. WIN. Koch, OF
Berlin. we'll known TO specialties from his
Investigations in the domain of modern sur
gerry, and from his treaties of gunshor frac-
lures, has discovered anew method of treat
ment for consumption. It consists of heal
ing up the affected portions of the lungs bv
injections OF iodine, so as 10 check The pro
gress of fostering, which is the origin of tho
ulsease. Inns treatment has been tested in
the great hospitals OF Berlin within a short
time, among others at the Royal Charity .vin
the presence of the most eminent surgeons
All the reports of the cases in which :his
treatment has been administered are favor
able, and hold out \ promise Of complete
cure. For many years DT. Koch has been
trying the experiment with animals, having
tested II with more than three hundred at a
vast outlay of time aud money.

a wnRn ro rHH WISE.

The Bartlett platform is democratic
enough and liberal enough for fair
minded men of whatever party. We
would not have a plank or letter
struck out and. but little added. Its
merit has been recognized all over the
State, and has wrought a glorious VIC
tory. II is adapted to the times and the
necessities Of the present rather than to
ancient parties Republicans. Old Line
Wings and Democrats have stood upon
il shoulder to shoulder. and no one man
or class or element can claim the vic
tory alone. That belongs to the people
at large. who look at results rather than
theories. The organization we had was
equal to the emergency, and will, as con-
tinued, be the means Of completing the
triumph Of the people at the November
election. The civil rights bill Is not OPP
posed by Democrats only. Senator
Brownlow did more than any living man
TO kill the bill at the last session Of Con-
grsss, and no one can say that he is a
Democrat. Il Is as unreasonable row
to say that all who supported the Bart
lett ticket are dyed-in-the.wool Demo
Gratis as 10 have said that all who voted
for Greeley were Republicans. Gentle
men. 20 slow and keep in line or some.
body will get left.

urging East Tennessee farmers to hold
their wheat till the bears" should be
compelled to break and let prices come
to their natural level Thus far the
effort has been comparatively successful.
The last number of the Outlook contains
the following significant paragraph:
Those who are skeptical enough to
doubt the compactness and cohesive
power of our organization, need only be
referred tothe significant fact that to-day
not bushel of wheat can be moved at
present prices. This magic influence
has passed along from one end OF the
vast COLUMN to the other. In vain have
dealers endeavore6 to break our ranks
by offering one dollar and ten and tit-
teen cents. They might as well sing
psalms to a dead horse as to attempt
20 buy at these figures.
In like manner the Kentucky hemp
vaisers around Lexington have determ-
ined ~ gets share of thereal value
of their staple, which hitherto it has
never commanded until otter 1t had
passed beyond their control.

THE rExr eENxRAI ASSEMBLY.

The next thing in order is the nomina-
ton of candidate for Governor, which
will be done on the 10th instant; the
nomination If Congressman at Bolt
var ON the 10th of September, and after
that in our own county nominations for
the next Legislature. Theipapers of the
State are discussing the best steps that
can. be taken to secure good men
for the Legislature. We are inclined
to agree with the Banner, that
local, home necessities at present over
shadow all other political interests IN
Importance. The people will now be
looking about them for candidates to
represent them. One great trouble
about selecting the right kind of mate
rial is the disinclination of the right
men to permit the use of their names in
an election. Many excellent men would
serve but for the disagTeeable work OF
canvassing and speech making In this
respect it is, perhaps, unfortunate that
stumping" accomplishments should be
a prerequisite. We have got int the
habit of making Legislatures out OF me-
diocre men, whose only claims are the
superficial gift OF. rhetorie-or to adopt
homely slang phrase, chin music. We
elect a Legislature of orators who
"orate more than they Iegislate, as
general thing, and when they do legis-
late. bungle egregiously because they
know nothing about the bUsiness. What
we need now is council of lawmakers
who are thinkers and actors-not merely
=" pretty speakers" The genius OF COM
mon sense is the essential now. The
science of economical government is OK
should be the requisite qualification Tor
legislative preferment. II such men
should be solicited to become candidates
we trust they will overcome their DIS
taste to the disagreeable business OF
ofice-accepting, and make some sacri-
fee of personul comfort and quiet, to
the public benefit. If only to rebuke
and put down professional ofiiee-seeking'
this should be the promptings OF the
citizen of modest merit when called
forth from private life. We are com
munity interested in the wisest exercise
of the Democratic and Republican
privilege Of selfgovernmsnt. The care
and responsibility of government rest
on the shoulders Of all citizen voters
alike. Let none hold back. if his neigh
bors request him TO come to the front to
sit in council about our domestic affairs.
If the bestcitizens were less squeamish
about ofiee-holding, and less sensitive
to possible suspicion OF othee-desiring,
we should not have any trouble or ap-
prehension about Adventures, white or
black, Selling upon the Offices OF great
responsibility. We need the rery best
men IN the State in the nert General
Assemble
