How TO ExTERMINATE BURDooKs.
For the benefit of every farmer whom
misfortune has favored with that most
miserable weed, the burdock, | send
the following mode for its sure de-
struction:
Arm yourself with sharp hoe or
knife; cut the dock off just at the sur
face of the ground, and pour upon the
root table spoonful of kerosene. In
less than one week it will be entirely
decayed. | have tried this effectualiy
and find it to be as certain as fate.

every 100000 miles of actual trav-
ell. A great reduction will be made
where parties wish to make the round
trip. This comet is new and in
thorough repair and now on her first
voyage. She is confessedly the fast
est on the line. She makes 100000
900 miles q day, with her present fa-
cllities; but, with picked American
crew and good weather, we are con-
fient we can get 100000 out CT
her. Still We shall never push her to
dangerous speed, and we shall rig

cts. We make close connections at
all principal points with all reliable
lines. Safety can be depended upon.
1t is not to be denied that the heav-

these we have no connection what

Complimentary round tickets have
been rendered to General Butler, Mr.
Sheppard, Mr.. Richardson and other
eminent gentlemen, whose pnblic
services have entitled them to the
rest and relaxation of voyage of
this kind. Parties desiring TO make
the round trip will have extra accom-
modations. The entire voyage will
be completed, and the passengers
landed in New York again on the
18th Of December, 1891. This is, at
least, forty years quicker than any
other comet can do it in. Nearly all
the back pay members contemplate
making the round trip with us in case
their constituents will allow them a
holiday. Every harmless amusement
will be allowed on beard, but no
pools permitted on the run of the
comet-or gambling of any kind. All
fixed stars will be respected by US
but such stars as seems to need liking
We shall fix. If it makes trouble we

Letter from Hon. VIM. McFar-
land

land.
We received on yesterday a very
sensible and temperate letter from our
Tennessee Congressman elect, among
other things he says
"The canvass was a great success.
The result is not, of course, to be at
tributed to any popularity or merit on
my part, but has its origin il the great
revolution in public sentiment
throughout the country and which l
hope argues we'll for the country. 1t
means, l trust, the permanent tri-
umph of the spirit Of Cancellation, for
bearance, of kindly feeling and justice
over the spirit of hate, ill will, bitter
ness and strife that has divided us In
the past. OF course great responsibility
now devolves upon the Democratic
party. We cannot afford to make any
mi stakes, such as have been made In
the past. If we do we shall lose all
we have gained. A spirit of modera-
ton must prevail. The hope. of radi-
calism now, is that rash and unwise
acts may characterize the policy OF
the Democratic party, and it should be
our policy to disappOint this hope"
These temperate and wise views
seem to characterize most of our lea
ders, and we trust that all may feel the
force and correctness of them. The
overthrow of the republican party, is
to be accomplished only by an alli-
ance between the Southern people and
a portion of the North, and iC will
never do for the alliance to be viola
| ted by the assertion of measures which
will be offensive to our allies in the
Northern States. Then they would
| leave us and return to the radicals.

EMORY VS.. HIWASSIE.

After two hostile letters from
the Presidents of Emory & Henry
and Hiwassie the Hclston Metho-
dist has closed against the two con-
testants. The News is now asked
by Hiwassie the insertion of a reply
which seeks to reflect upon the
course of the Methodist. With all
due respect TO President Bruner,
we must decline to take up a cons
troversy which we had nothing to
do in bringing about and which
even the METHODIST has become
tired of.
Moreover we ask to be under
stood charitably when we suggest
that we think the interest Of neither
of the Colleges will be promoted
by prolongation of the contest.

SHALL WE FORGET THE
LEADER OF OUR FOR
LORN HOPE,

The present is very opportune
time for refreshing the memory of
the Democratic party with the fact,
shat when its flag was down, Andrew
johnson raised it in the face of an in
fIriated and inhamed nation. The
recent reverse OF the republican par
ty, can not in any other way, be so
6ttingly supplemented as by the reap
pearance in public life, of him who,
when others shook with terror or
were powerless, brought on the &C.
ton which is now to lead to victory.
There would be both a poetic jus
rice aud sobriety of wisdom in
sending him just now to the Senate.
lie would most admirably fill the seat
now devoted to BrownlOw, and the
opportunity to meet as his peers,
those Senators VINO confronted him
with impeachment because he was
both merciful toward the South, and
democratic in his administration, is
one which wonld be interesting for
this American people TO behold -
There is no one now aspiring to the
position, xho would in the least shed
lustre on this new page in Tonnes
sees history. Mr. Johnson would
absolutely add to the reputation OF
the State. Just as the names and
services Of Jackson and Polk glitter
like precious stones in her coronet,
will the SUI Elemental services of Mr..
johnson in the Senate cause her to
be looked to and admired of men,
Why shall not Tennessee once more
be represented by q great man
Brownlow has simply dispensed the
federal patronage Cooper has done
nothing. We cannot see why this
alone of thirty-seven States, should
make ostracism the price Of genius.
In not one other of them is there in
private life, man of Mr.. JOhnson''
ability. Kentucky, and S. C, ano
Missouri, kept Clay and Calhoun, anC
Webster, in harness until they fell
and there is not a page of their sub
sequent history, which is not yet lu-
minous of their mighty works.
Let us send Mr.. johnson to the
Senate, where he can meet Morton
and where he can pick up the tan
gled work of his administration ant
straighten it before Congress and
people, who have been brought t
reason 10 the face of the mightieS

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE"

Jennie Espy, beautiful educa-
ted and in many respects accom-
plished woman, put an end to her
unhappy life in small house in
Richmond last Thursday morning,
by taking laudanum. She left the
usual pencil memorandum and the
old, old story which isso sad that it
touched the tender heart OF Jesus,
when he lived in Judea, and he
wrote his sorrow in the unstable
sand and said "woman thy sins are
forgiven thee"
In this case there was even a
sadder story, for when the curious
people went into her apartment
they found her decoreusly attired
and lying on her snowy bed entire
ly dead. On the mantel still burn
ed the lamp under whose light she
had gathered her little golden
trinkets and strung them about her
neck, placed in tasteful order the
entire apartment and then lad
down to her last sleep. Upon the
walls were tasteful pictures and the
skillful adornment of the room
bespoke an elegance of taste which
even a life of reluctant shame
had not overcome. Then there
came to testify the man who had
participated in her dishonor, and it
appears through his account that
she had been promised by him a
house which she needed but never
received. She had waited and fed
on hope until hope died and then
she too died and left the world to
wonder at her strange story ming
ling SO much that was beautiful
with so much that is sad and, as
men will call it, sinful. Yet it is
satisfactorily evident.'that the very
consciousness of her own shame
burned within her finer nature un.
til she sought the last offices which
mankind pay the fallen. Men are
very unmerciful to those, their fe-
male victims and it is easy to see thai
at last, when the world seems al
closed to them and human eyes anC
ears all turn away from them, tha
they should turn and through thu
usual cold and narrow door, il
sheer desperation, fall at the feet
of Him who, while he was Himself
in the flesh, left undisputable proc
that their sin is one not withou
the pale of forgiveness. For Goo
is more merciful than man and thi
is not the first time that the I'M
happy have appealed to that cour
of last resort for that redress
which the world has failed to furn
ish,
