One of the party in jocular manner,
after the conversation had progressed
about fifteen minutes. said 10 the spirit :

Having received his mug. the spirit
drank all OF it, contents, and smacking
hi, lips said
That's good. tits better than we get
over there"
In few minutes. the draught was re-
peatcd, and then repeated again. At last
the party became merry. Old-time tales
Were told. old-time songs sung, the spirit
joining in the festivities with a vim. He
sang several conyivial spirit-song,. and
told number of laughablc anecdotes in
an inimitable manner.
In this way most of the day was con-
sumed, and one Of the party said
IL must 90 home"

The situation was getting uncomforta-
Bile, and when the spirit suggested that
the party should take "turn about
town." he proposing to 90 along, there
was CONSERVATION among the Spiritualis-
tic egg-nog drinkers. But what could
they do? They had to submit to fate.
ABOUT TOWN.
The spirit buttoned mp his coat, and
with an unsteady gait walked towards
the door. The wondering Spiritualists
followed, and soon found themselves on
the street. The spirit was in the best of
spirits. and laughed and .ioked with his
dumbfOunded companions.
As the party passed the Old Delmonico,
the spirit stopped and said:
"Come in boys, and get drink. They
have some really excellent whisky here.
It's old OIL"
What could the ''boys" do? They
went in. They drank. The spirit, to
the establishment Of all, paid the hill, and
asked the "bOys" to go around to the
Planters and get supper.
DRUNK, MY LORD.
After the party got on to the street
again, the spirits companions were APP
palled by the fact that the spirit was
drunk. He shouted and became pugil-
istic, swearing he could whip his weight
in wild eats.
ARRESTED.
While these demonstrations were going
on, Chief Of Police Mcilale came up and
said:
"Sec here, stranger, you must not
make so much noise"
"Who'r your asked the spirit; and
then he shouted, and made pass at Mac
with his spiritual right hand.
We need not say the companions of the
ghost were almost frightened to death
when the Chief laid his heavy hand upon
the spirits shoulder, and said to him:
Come along with me; you're my pris-
oner."
In vain the party begged Mac to not
arrest their guest. lie did and locked
him up in the calaboose.

When we read in the Chicago Times,

For TExAs.-We learn that about one
dozen of our young men will start for the
Lone Star State within a week or so. We
heartily wish them all much success, just
as our heart wishes for all mankind. But,
we have a fear that some OF them will not
be equal to the emergency. Those OF
them who have learned trades will have
decided advantages. However, if they
will only work together as a band OF
brothers, there will be no such word as
fal. Texas is a State that offers many ad-
vantages to immigrants, and many who 60
there will do well. The SAME ones would
have done we'll to remain here in poor old
Franklin county, Tennessee. Many will
not do well there, nor would they have
done well here. Some will die there, and
they might have died here, for death is ne
discrimination. The fact is, we are GLAD
to see this immigration, and congratulate
Texas upon it.. We will send you the
chat and the wheat, with the hope thai
you will find wheat in all we send. II

will not be ashamed to pick cotton il

UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH.-A meet
ing Of the Church Of the TRANSPORTATION
was held in New York City recently for
the purpose of taking some action looking
to IA more generous and material support
by the Episcopal Church of the above
named institution. Bishop Potter pre-
sided, and several appropriate addresses
were delivered, among which was one by
President Bernard, OF Columbia College.
lie gave a history of the enterprise from
its first inception to the present time. Ae
recited the laying of the cornerstone, the
storm Of war that swept over the land ana
the impoverished condition Of the people
since the war. and made an ardent appeal
for contributions from those who did not
suffer frsm the effects OF the war. Inc
speeches were well received, and we hope
will produce the desired result.
While the Methodists are erecting at
Nashville the Vanderbilt. Ga grand monu-
ment to the muniticence of the old Conf
modore.) and the Baptists have located
their Southern College at jackson, west
Tennessee, it behooves the Episcopal
Church to take hold of the wheel ofdenom-
national and educational progress, and
help this struggling young College to Its
feet. and so endOw it as to make it the
pride of the Church in which the bright
Youths of the rising South may have their
strong native talents developed and them
selves qualified to successfully wage the
battle of life. No college can possibly
nessess superior advantages to this in 'ts

DIscRIMINATION.-A merchant Of our
town has shown us a receipted bill which
tells that he paid Oh 1860 pounds OF freight
from Cincinnati to Decherd $3.50. OF this
amount 81 was the charge from Cincinnati
to Nashville, and So 80 the charge from
Nashville to Decherd. This is one dollar
and fifty cents more from Nashville to
Decherd than from Cincinnati: to Nash
vile. And yet, the distance frsm Nash
vile to Decherd is less by about $50 miles.
No wonder there is complaint about dis
elimination, and no wonder Nashville is
losing a vast deal of trade by the Through
route" system. From Winchester, OF
Decherd. to Nashville is 81 miles, and yet
the same amount OF freight from Nashville
to Decherd cost, more by one dollar and
fifty cents in this instance than it did
from Cincinnati to Nashville-nearly foul
times the distance. Little rain drops
make up the glorious shower, and Sc
these little Determinations ruin our c0un-
try by depressing the people.
