" WHO is HOBBS ,"

The Nashville Banner publishes gos-
sippy letter from Memphis, on the subject
of State politics, in which Governor
Browns and ex-President Johnson's sena-
torial prospects are discussed at some
length. He says:

THE PERSONAL HISTORY
of the man who has left these
prizes may not he without inter
terest: He was by birth a Marquis, but
the revolution of 1913 deprived him of both
his title and fortune. He was then re-
duced to the necessity of working for his
daily bread, which he did, at six pence Il
day. He continued simple workman for
fifteen years, beginning as an assistant to
plumbers, but gradually working upward
to the grade of glass blower, and after
wards to be n manufacturer of scientific
instruments. At last, by dnt of hard la
Dor he regained his title and came into
possession of fortune from his maternal
relatives. He still continued, however, to
wear the garb of the poor laborer. He
spent his money literally and always re-
membered the friends of his adverse days
and divided his means freely among the
poor mechanics and workmen. He left
large sum for the construction
of q hospital in st. German, his native
town. He investigated spiritualism and
somnambulism, and made many interest
ing experiments in crossing, acclimating
and tanning animals. And, last of all,
he left these prizes for the benefit of all the
human race that may come after him.
It's the custom of Americans, and others,
to speak disparagingly of the French char
acter-its lightness, frivolity and unstable
ness but it must be acknowledged, that
the French nation, through its government
and its people, has done more 20 make the
| Sciences subserve the uses of man than any
| other nation on the globe. And in this
regard, it would be well for us 10 initiate a
truly worthy example, whatever opinion
we may entertain respecting the political
institutions, national, or personal vani-
ties of that gay, pleasure-loving people.

quest that all armed forces on both sides
be disbanded, so that the General Assem-

A SoLoMoN.--The following story
comes from Ireland : Two men had
a quarrel in a liquor shop. They
adjourned outside to settle the dis.
pute. The frat man, being from
Connaught, Immediately seized a
lump Of stone and let fly at the head
Of his opponent, who dipped his
head and missed the stone, which
went through an expensive plate
glass window, and did much dam
age. A magistrate was called upon
next morning to determine which Of
the two should pay the cost. The
evidence clearly showed that the
aim was good one, aud that if the
second man had not dipped his head
he would have been struck. "There-
fore, said the magistrate, che must
pay the damages, as it is certain
the first man didn't intend to injure
the window, and the window would
not have been injured il it had not
been for the act of the second
man."

on the other side Of the street TO
avoid them. None of them promise
you respectability, health, wealth or

your education, your morale or your

4 rArHER WHO FIouRpp.

About year ago, il we remember
rightly, story went the rounds
which credited that ingenious per-
son, the Western man, with having
successfully carried out one Of the
most original Of plan for getting his
daughters comfortably settled in
life, without any cost whatever TO
himself. He had large and ex-
tensive family. Three out Of four of
tho daughters were marriageable.--
They were very pretty girls, and
had many admirers. The father
permitted them to receive attentions
from the most eligible young men, and
to all outward appearances seemed
perfectly content not to part with
his treasures until asked TO do so.-
Each demand for consent was the
signal for an out burst of feeling
that ended in the sudden exit Of the
applicant The lovers, however,
were not to be prevented from at
tanning happiness by what they be-
lieved to be the whim Of selfish
father. They real state of the case
was, the father could not afford to
buy three suitable outfits, and pay
the expense Of three feaats. Not
seeing any prospect in the immediate
future Of being better able to do SO,
after ransacking his brain to find a
way out of the difficulty, he at last
concluded to frown or the young
people, and take the chances for
what might follow. The elopements
didn't cost him cent the expenses
If outfits and wedding was saved
his reputation for liberaIity did not
suffer in the least, and his neighbors
continued in ignorance Of the actual
condition Of his exchequer.
