Owing to the great popularity which
Harris Great Relief has won fol itself
as reliable family medicine, there
have been attempts made by unprin-
cipled parties to palm off on the public
an inferior article under the name of
"Relief, nby asserting that "it is just as
good as Harris" or that " 1t is just the
rantable statements. The public is
cautioned against being led away by
these attempts. The formula for Harris
Great Relief is our own property, and
can be used by no one else, and any
party therefore claiming to make this
preparation is unworthy of any conf
dence, and should be looked upon as a
public swindler.

THE Memphis appeal, says; We
were accustomed, when Brownlow
resigned, to inveigh bitterly against
the multiplication of the courts, null
uplying litigants, and of office holders
of all grades. The poorer the people
the greater the number of favorites
Brownlow's policy forced the people
to support.
Yes, some Of you inveighed bitter.
ly against the multiplication of the
courts &c, but as soon as your party
came into power you called a conven-
ton to vacate all the offices that they
might be filled with Democrats, and
created new ones in some instances,
as we people of Knox county know.
A criminal court was provided for.
The first bill offered providing for the
court was drawn in Knoxville, by a
gentleman who was afterward candi-
date for Judge of that court, and who
is now a candidate for IA county office.
1t provided that the Judge
the man who drew the
bill expecting to obtain that
position-should be paid eighteen
hundred dollars per annum, to be
raised by a special taT upon the people
Of KRor county. 1t further provided
that the Judge should have the extra
ordinary power of selecting his own
pay-a most dangerous provision
The CHRONICLE assaiied these two
provisions of the bill, and it was modi.
fled by providing that the State should
pay half the Judges salary, and the
clause in reference to selecting jurors
was eXpunged. The man who drew
the original and extraordinary bill wa.
a candidate for Judge, as he expected
to he when he drew it, but was rebuked
by the people by being defeated.
As to the people being poorer under
BrownlOw's policy" than they are
now, every one knows it is untrue
Under Governor Brownlow's admins.
tration, business was prosperous all
over the State; money was plenty and
taxes were easily paid. Is it so now
The remarks of the appeal, as above
quoted, are far from being true, and
we appeal to the history of the past
decade to sustain our statement,

EVERY farmer is producer and
finds market for his produce beyond
what he and his consume, among the
people engaged in other pursuits. The
smaller the number of farmers in pro-
portion to the whole population, the
better for him, because it gives great
er demand and better price for what
he has TO sell and increased compeu-
ton cheapens what he has occasion to
buy. He finds two blacksmiths and
two stores preferable to one. So two
doctors and two carpenters aud all the
other occupations that he finds it con-
Yenient to employ, or that depend up
on him for their daily supplies. Hence,
they are veIy doubtful advisors, who
would have him look upon all not
farmers like himself, as enemies to be
distrusted and avoided.

IN late letter to the Jackson Courier.
Herald Major w. ]. Sykes says;
81 have been satisfied for years that
it was the purpose of the New En-
gland Radicals to devastate and im-
poverish the South, to prevent immi.
grafton and to drive away the white
men who are now here, and to convert
the Southern States into African
colonies, or to make an India of the
South ruled and governed by New En-
giand satraps and their white allies in
the South, who. however, would be but
few.n
Coming from man who Is credited
with good sense, and who certainly
knows something of the history of the
past, this is about as absurd as it well
could be. Does this writer forget
less than year ago, when the Angel
of Death was reaping bountiful har-
vest In Memphis, and when hundreds
of families as the result of the pesti-
lence were rendered destitute, how
nobly the charities of Boston were
poured out for their relief? Has the
voice OF distress ever gone out from any
portion of our country, whether
North or South, that the
people of New England did moi
promptly and literally respond? fiji
is the policy Of New England to i'm.
poverish the South, why is it that the
people there are so ready to relieve the
destitute Of this section? The charge
is too silly to entertain for moment
and the author ought to be ashamed o.
himself.
The Memphis Appeal speaking o
the exceedingly silly, not to say mean
letter says:
We hope Major Sykes may at some
future time give has reasons for the
| opinions which he has expressed Sc
briefly in this letter. They strike Il,
at first glance with much force, and i
they are correct it should open the
eyes of all sensible negroes who have
the interests of thar race at heart
and should make them pause in theil
mad career before becoming the slaves
of New England manufacturers, anC
of the few abandoned white men O
the South who are the mere tools o
New England capitalists.
What twaddle. What consummatt
nonsense! How small the difference
between some who pass for men o
sense and those who are confirmed
idiots.

THE case Of Mayor Havemeyer is
still pending before Gov. Dix, The
Mayors friends think his case a serious
one, and that his chances are bad. He
seems, however, to treat it trifiingly.
The Nation reports him as in good
spirits. People think, he says, that
the charges against him are "a big
thing !" "but balloon is a big thing,
and yet the prick of pin will let the
gass out Of it, aud then he chuckles
over his own joke. His excuse for
reappointing Charlick and Gardner
is that the families Of these men are
disgraced by their conviction, and he
owes it to their children TO rehabilitate
them, which is also a good joke; but
it shows that Havemeyer with all his
folly Is a man of his time.

WE see it announced that ex-Presi-
dent johnson is to address the people
OF Columbia in the course of the next
fortnight. We observe also that eX-
Gov. Foote has gone to Nashville, so
it may turn out that these two worthy
gentlemen of the past may meet
again. The latter seems to be on the
war path and anxious to measure
swords with the former. Let them to-
gether once, by all means, and let us
see the result. Johnson is understood
to have his eye on the seat now occu-
pied by Senator BroWnlow and Mr..
Foote proposes if he gets there it shall
not be through ignorance, on the part
of the people, of his record.

BE ON YOUR GUARD.

It is always safe to look with suspi-
cion upon stories put out just before
the election. The opposition to some
Republicans is SO bitter and so unscru-
pulous that stories are being manufac-
tured to circulate broadcast over the
county to iniure them. This is par
ticularly so of Sheriff Gossett, against
whom there is the meanest opposition
on the part Of professed Republicans.

Curing Glover Hay.

1t is widespread error that it is
difficult to cure clover hay. Like any
thing else that is carclessly and un-
skilfully done, it will be badly done;
but with ordinary attention clover can
be cured rs easily as any other hay. II
should be cut when the heads of the
greater part If the field or patch are
of a brvwn color. Ifthe cutting is de-
iayed until the entire crop is brown,
the parts that ripened first will be too
ripe.
Z Clover should never he spread out to
cure 1t should be left in the swath.
The less any hay is exposed to the sun
while curing the better it will be. The
sun extracts and dries up the juices
and succulence Of the stalks which con-
stitute the whole value of hay.
When cut the clover should lie in
the swath until more than half the up
per part is sufficiently cured, which
will be the case in favorable weather in
eight or nine hours. When the upper
part is thus cured the swath should be
turned with hay-forks bottom up, and
when that side will also be cured. Then
the swaths should be thrown together
into windrows--three swaths. " the
windrowAand this being done, the
operation of hauling home the hay
should be commenced at once. In the
best clover regions of our country, if the
weather is fine, clover is generally
hauled home the evening of the day it
is cut, and reyer allowed to remain
out beyond the following day. Cured
thus, every part of the clover, leaf,
bloom and stalk, is dried equally, the
evaporation of moisture has taken
place gradually and regularly. and all
the nutritiye juices of the hay have
been preserved, whereas if the hay is
exposed too long to the action of the
sun, the leaves and blooms are dried t.,
a chip and nothing is left but hard f.
brous stalks.-Cor. Southern Farmer.

Fowls in the Horse stable.

Fowls should never be permitted to
have access to the horse stable, nor the
feed room, nor the haymow. Their
roosts should be entirely separate from
the stable, so that they may not always
be ready to slip in, whenever door is
openened; and that the vernin which
'infest poultry may not reach horses
and cattlt. 1t is Well-known fact
that fowls of all kinds frequently drop
a very sordid, offensive, clammy, Wis
cous odor; and when allowed to go on
the hayinow, or in the feeding room,
or anywhere in the barn, they damage
more fodder than we are wont to sup
pose. We would as soon allow fowls
to live in the kitchen, and to hop on
the dinner table while we are eating,
and to roost on our bedstead, as to al
low them to have free access to the
horse stable and barn. Some horses
are always afraid of fowls; and when
one enters the manger, OF rack, the
timid horses will Immediately surren-
der their eatire right, however hungry
they may be, to these lawless marau-
ders. And after they have scratch
ed over the feed, with their foul teet,
a horse must be exceedingly hungry
before he will eat his mess. Many Il

naceUus robbers tn, had learned WHEN
and where to fill their empty COPS

The Doxoiogy ONT ofTune


Old Mr.. ColIanIer, one of the nen1-
bers of our church, is extremely deaf
Last Sunday the clergyman, during
the sermon, had occasion to introduce
4 quotation, and as it was quite long,
he brought The volume with him ,siiis:
when the time came he picked up the
book and began to read from it.
We always sing the Old Hundred
|doxofogy after the sermon at Our
church, and NJ. Collamer, seeing the
pastor with book, thought the time
had come, so while the minister was
reading, he opened his hymn book at
the place. -
Just as the clergyman laid the vol
ume down, the man next to Mr.. Col
lamer began to yawn, and Mr.. Collamer,
thinking he was about to sing, imme-
diately brok out into Old Hundred at
the top of his voice.
AS the clergyman was just about to
begin with the secondly and as there
was, of course, perfect silence in the
church, the effect of Mr.. Cellamer's vo-
|ciferation was startling. But the old
man dida't notice that anything was
the matter, 50. he kept right ON and
sang the entire verse. .IiGl @4z1
When he concluded he observed that
Everybody seemed quiet, except a few
who were laughing; SO he leaned over
and said out loud to the man who
yawned:
What's the matter with the congrc-
CATION. anyhow? Why don't they 20
home ? 9
The man turned scarlet, and the per-
spiratien br0k out all over him, for he
felt that the eyes of the congregation
were upon him, and he knew that he
would have to yell to make Mr.. Col
lamer hear. So he touched his lips
with his finger, as a sign for the old
nan to keep quiet. But Mr.. Collamer
misunderstood the motion.
,sy'Goin' to sing another hymn, hey?
All right and he began to tumble his
hymn book again.
Then the sexton sailed up the aisle
and explained the matter out loud to
Mr.. Collamer, and that gentleman sub
sided while the minister proceeded
with his discourse. J
The elders have written Mr.. Col
lamer note requesting him in the fii-
lure not to join in the sacred harmony.

How mysterious is human life, with
all its diversities of contrast and COM

nies, this sphere of manifold allotment,
where man lives in greatness and

and little higher than brute.

The funeral of our own youth, which
we have been painpering with fond de-
sires, ambitious hopes, and all tn.
bright berries that hang in poisonous
lustre over the path Of life. &
If the sublime be, as it were, a view
of the infinite, it would seem that the
art of desigp, by which we are COM
PEELED to imprison every idea ina form,
cannot. be sublime. 1t may happen,
nevertheless, that the painter, moved
by thoughts to which he has given no
form, strikes the soul as q thunder-boIt
would the ear. 1t is then by virtue of
thought perceived, but not formulated,
that the picture becomes sublime. =
