Tennessee bonds continue depressed and
are offered in New York at 81, while SIC is
bid. We hear Of no transactions here, but
we suppose they would bring these quota
tiOns very readily. The past due coupons
are worth about &c.
COmptroller's warrants are very dull and
in no demand by taxpayers. They may
be quoted at csc buying and 9Tc selling.
Our local securities are very dull and

APALPABLE OANARD.
The Good People Of Crockett County
Vindicated.

From the Alamo Sentinel.
A long article appeared recently in the
NdsLriue Bulletin from a correspondent in
this county, at which we were consideriy
surprised and somewhat amused.
To learn that there exists In orr midst
gang of outlaws who seek every ayalia-
bic opportunity, as this correspondent
states, to intimidate the negro and harm
innocent men, startled us-especially as
this is The first time that We, have heard
anything Of the Kind men
toned or even limited at. That
in other days a Kuklux Khan did
exist in this county and that they, or at
least disguised persons, perpetrated out
RACES and offended the peace and dignity
OF the State, We do not deny; but that such
a state Of affairs is now tolerated We do
deny, and the assertion Of this correspond
ent to the contrary is without even the
semblance of foundation. Nothing has
been done reesntly that could possibly be
distorted into so hide0us tttieti and be in
keeping with the truth.
Crockett county is proverbially place
of peace, happiness and prosperity, where
any honest man can go about his business
without the least fear of molestation; where
the law is enforced to the letter and the
spirit, with the EXCEPTIONS found in every
community in the land; where the whites
and the negroes vote at the same ballot box
and exercise each their several rights Of
freedom without fear or hindrance.

THE WOOD NETTLE As A TEXTILE
FABRIC PLANT.

The London Garden says that the
common perennial nettle Of our Amer
lean woods, Aeposssa pustulata, has
been transplanted to Europe for the
purpose of being applied to textile pur-
poses. As it is unnecessary to sow the
seed each year, the plant has, in this
respect, an advantage over hemp and
fax, while it is said to neeessitate less
labor and expense In preparing the
fiber. In Wild state, the nettle at
tains a height of two or three feet; but
those that have been cultivated in Ber-
lin have already exceeded this limit,
and it appears possible that, by care
and proper soil, even a still greater al
titude may be gained.

FARM AND GARDEN.
PRODUCTION OF OPIUM IN GER
MANY,

The production of opium has been
greatly increased in Germany during
the last year, and it is said the juice is
richer in morphia than the best brought
from India Raising peoples and gath
ering their juice is light work for
women and children; and it might pay
many in the South to avail themselves
of the high price of opium, and profit
by this lucrative industry. Poppies
grow as easily in Tennessee as in Ger.
many or any other country; and we can
make opium as well as sugar, cotton, or
tobacco.

PURIFICATIoN OF TALLOw.

Pure tallow as it exists in the best
beefsteak or mutton chop is valuable, if
preserved fresh and sweet. Treutlen,
a German chemist, has studied, and ex-
perimented to bring the art of preserv-
lug suet and tried tallow to perfection.
His directions are to melt fresh tallow
thoroughly in boiling water which Is
pressed while hot through linen cloth,
boiled again in clear, pure water, care
fully skinned, then cooled to solidif-
cation, washed with water, and finally
carefully freed from water by pressure,
then melted at a moderate temperature
and put in earthen vessels, and covered
tight. The removal of all water from
butter, lard, tallow or oil to be kept
any time is important. If the water is
from spring or well having lime, mag
nesia, iron, or alkalies in solution, its
removal is still more desirable.

FLOUR. GRAIN AND HAY,

The -four market is lamentably dull, the
demand being chiefly Of a local nature.
Corn would 90 off briSkly at quotations if
the market were not entirely bare. Only
a few small lots of wheat are changing
hands. Hay and oats quiet, but firm.

FINANCIAL,

Business is reported as very dull by the
banks and money is in but little demand.
The banks discount for their customers at
the rate of ten per cent per annum, and
brokers loan at the same rate on call, with
marketable bonds and stocks as eollaterals.
Gold closed in New York at 1l25. For
the small lots offered here dealers pay Ill,
while they hold at 112i. Silver is taken at
103 for halves and quarters.
Government bonds are higher. The fol-
lowing are the quotations at 2:l5:

We notice good feeling, though bust
ness is generally about over by this time OF
the wear. Farmers who have lost their
wheat and Oat crops by overflow are prepar-
ing to put the lands in grass, and the in
uniry for millet and Hungarian is reported
as brisk. TO-day's transactions were on
the following basis:
Red clover 800; sapling $500; timothy

EXPERIENCE WITH PEACH TREES.

Peach trees require considerable at
tention, and are very commonly neg
lected. The result is wormy and nearly
worthless fruit, and trees greatly in
jured by the borer. Banking earth
around the trunk Of a tree tends to
keep the insect away that deposits its
eggs under the bark near the roots; and
ashes, wood or coal, lime and cinders
from a blacksmith's forge, are still
better. Where one sees gum issuing
near the ground, above or below the
surface, from the body Of a tree, he
may be cure that one or more grubs
are at work. Scrape away the gum
with a knife, and with a wire larger
than a knitting needle, bent for the
purpose, one may find the opening that
discharges gum, and wood excreta from
the worm, and kill him by pushing the
wire through his body. Peach trees
should be trained with low heads.
Nudl 10 GAUSS u llLuDS. WOOD
or fruit be allowed to grow.
1t Is common mistake to permit a
fruit tree or grape vine to over-bear to
the injury of the plant, and the detri-
ment of the fruit. Cut out a part soon
after it sets, and cultivate the orchard
or vines diligently at the right times.
The same rule applies to the manage
ment of Strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries and blackberries. Judi
cious pruning and thinning mean the
checking of wood-growth, aud the ef-
fort of nature to develop more seeds
and their valuable surroundings. than
there is nutriment to form richness
and size IN each fruit, which is known
to be attainable as well as desirable.
The finest specimens of pears, peaches.
apples and grapes are never obtained
without cutting down the number rails
ed in a single crop. 1t is like giving a
large calf the milk of two cows instead
of half the milk of one. Uncommon
growth Is the result.

THE Postmaster General has decided
that he has not the authority under
any United States law to deliver letters
to parties and allow them to open them
where the instruction is a question in
doubt. For example, letter addressed
to John c. Smith should not be deliv-
cred to John l. Smith. The Postmas-
ter General has just issued an order to
that effect.

A CURIOUS BIBLE.

There is Bible in Scotland quite as
curious in its way as any among the
treasures Of the protested collectors.
1t was taken out of the stomach of a
Goldfish, and bears the name of William
Sim, of Dundee, who went TO sea in
1884, and has not since been heard of.
The finding of the book has been ad-
United by the Lord Ordinary to be
proof of the decease of William Sim,
and his heirs have touched his money.

few years the richest and busiest Sec
ton of the State, and where it ought
to be. We do not believe that it
will be moved nor that the Senator
ship will be, bartered for it.
Charleston has suffered enough.
and it surely would be very hard at

city destroyed by FIRE, to undertake
to work it further destruction by re-
moving the Capitol, and thus render

ands of dollars which have been M
vested on the faith of the State in ae-
cepting the offer of the people OF the
city and removing the Capitol there.
Let the Capitol question rest, and
DO not make the session of the Legs
lature a meeting for putting money
into, spectators pockets at the ex-
pense of the State.
