An Editor Who is Deaf.

We thought everybody in the state
knew that we were deaf, but once in q
while we find one who is not aware of
the fact. A female book-peddler came
to the Office the other day. She wished
to dispose of book. She was alone in
this world, and had no one to whom she
could turn for sympathy or assistance;
hence we should buy her book. She
was unmarried, and had no manly heart
into which she could pour her sufferings,
therefore we ought to invest in her
book. She had received liberal edu-
cation, and could talk French like q na-
tive we could not, In consequence,
pay her less than 81 for a book. We
had listened attentively, and here broke
in with: ssWhatdid you say? We're deaf.
She started in a loud voice, and went
through her rigmarole. When she had
finished, we vent and got a roll of pa
per and made it into a speaking -trum
pet. placed one end to our ear and told
her to pressed. She commenced

then at the top of her voice, g don't
want to marry you, / want to sell-a-
book" This last sentence was
howled. Z" We don't want a cook, we
remarked blandly; "our wife does the
cooking, and she wouldn't allow as good
looking a woman as you to stay In the
bouse five Minutes She Is very ieai-

Of the utmost importance for cable

Oliver Cromwell, the stern soldier
and religious enthusiast, was stiil the
most tender and devoted iather and
husband. While England was ringing
with his successes at Dunkirk, news
was brought him Of his best loved
daughters Illness.
His kingdom aud power were all fer
gotten, while he watched day and night
by her bedside Young. beautiful, be-
loved By all. the Lady Elijah tn died,
and her father, worn out by sorrow and
disease, laid his head upon his own
deaih-bed.
Forgetting his Own sufieFings and the
change so soon awaiting him, he spent
much time in prayer for the church.
Soon came the night which ushered
in the Sd OF 5epsembcr, which bo had
always termed his - fortunate day" the
anniversary of two of his most impor-
tant victories. II came amid wind and
storm and tempest. Houses were un-
rooted, trees half a century old were
mp oote6, and the shores were strewn
with wrecks. But about the bed
and serene. You heard from him no
shouts TO his battalions, no urging his
soldiers on to victory, but instead, such
ordinations as, g God is good, . He
Will not leave me. And so his g fortu-
nate dag " continued to be fortunate to
him, and as its sun set, he finished VIC
tcriously the last great battle, in the
sixtieth year of his ace, 1858.
His body was embaimed, and amid
all possible pomp and mAgnifcsnce he
was buried Ia Westminster Abbey,
where he lay in peace, till one of the
bsssst of England's kings tore him
from his resting place. Cromweli's
dead body was hung upon gibbet and
afterwards behesded- His hsad thrust
on a spike, was pIaeed upon Westmin-
ster Hall, and there for twenty years
exposed to the peltines Of the pitiless
storms Finally. by some violence,
the pike was broken and the head
thrown down. ii was picked up by G
common soldier, and, strange to say, is
now in the possession of daughter Of
Hon. Mr.. Wilkinson, ex-member of
parliament for Buckingham. IL is said
that the features are quite perfect, and
even the large wart over one of the
eyes, a distinctive mark Of the face, is
still visible. The pike also as may be

Rhymes of the woman's Crusade.

The woman's movement has brought
out the poets. There is one specimen
which concludes :
When this whisky war is over,
Wen all get drunk again
The Brooklyn Argus mans attempt Is
in this way
Ohios ransom speeds space-
Is daily growing surer.
Since woman's dulcet voice essayed
The praise Of Aqua Pura.
Proud statel plying nation prays
For some assuring token;
Thy nose bleached to its native hue
Thy whisky vessels broken.
Rev. Thomas K. Beecher thinks that
religion suffers about as much as the
liquor business by the sidewalk prayer
meetings. "The specially bad feat
ure, " says Mr.. Beecher, '' is the prosti-
tuition of prayer; making Of it side
walk pastime" And then he asks how
the following would do as an additional
stanza to Montgomery's hymn:
Prayer is the Buckeye woman's dodge
To stop the rum-shop-dOor,
They hear her prayer and run away,
And never drink no more
The Courier-Journal sings On,
woman in our hours of ease, you
know wen do whate'er you please /;
we'll promise to renounce the sin of
Bourbon, brandy, rum and gin, and go
so far as to refrain Except when temp
ted from champagne; but have
some mercy, do, my dear, and leave,
oh leave us lager beer.
What will not a woman do, says q
Brooklyn paper, for the man she loves
Her hand was the first to reach and drag
The bottle from the shelf
''It is your curse, dear John, " she said,
And drank it up herself.
This from the Commercial Advertiser,
New York:
There was q refoImer named Lewis
Christened DiO (my narrative true is),
Who led q crusade,
Providing folks paid
Fifty dollars to - see Dio Lewis
Another wRrbles:
saw the tear drop on her nose,
P. ismatic glories shed;
saw the boW Of anguish bend
Ger her curl-tangled head
saw the conflict Of her soul
The pain that wrung her brow;
Take back the bottle, John, che Eobbed,
ssI cannot smash ii now"

g Old Hickory"

A correspondent of the jackson Miss.
News tells how Gen. Jackson got his
title of i'Old Hickory" He says he
cotythe story from Capt. William Allen,
a neighbor OF the general, and who
messed with him during the Greek war.
During the campaign the soldiers we're
moving rapidly to surprise the Indians,
aud we're without tents. A cold March
rain came on, mingled with sleet. which
lasted for several days Gen. Jackson
got q severe cold, bat did not complain,
as he tried TO sleep in 8 muddy bottom
among the half-frozen soldiers. Capt.
Allen and his brother John cut down a
stout hickory tree, peeled of the bark
and made a covering for the general,
Who was with difficulty persuaded to
crawl into It. The next morning z
drunken citizen entered the camp, and
seeing the tent, kicked it over. As
jackson crawled from the ruins the
toper cried "Hello, Old Hickory !

THE wOman's whisky war has actually
diminished the sale Of liquors in Ohio
and Indiana TO such an extent that the
revenue in these states for February
vas less by $500, 600 than it was the
previous month. This is a proof that
tue efforts OF the women have accom-
plished something more than the exas-
peration of the rumsellers. There is q
ers of cigars that a similar crusade
should be begun against tobacco. 1t
could hardly fail to arrest to soma ex-
tent the consumption Of the weed, and
hence to reduce the present high price
Of cigars, to the delight of confirmed
and hardened smokers.

For the first time In the history of Ten
nessee, a candidate for Governor pre-
sents himself TO the people and at
tempts to gain their votes by state
ments which are deliberately false. For
the first time in the history of Tennes-
see. a candidate for Governor tamely
permits himself to bepublicly branded,
at mis- home, with the charge of wilful
falsehood. This is the attitude in which
Horace Maynard stands before the peo-
ME of this State. No one denies that
he, Maynard, is a scholar, versed
in the literature Of ancient and modern
times. or that he knows full well what
has been taught in the schools of the
present and past, as 60 the exact simili-
tude between the suggestion of false
hood, the suppression of the truth and
downright lying. No doubt he has
read with pleasure, we fear not with
profit, when he was teaching the you'll
of Knox county and publishing th'
Zadok Jones papers, Mrs. Opie's very
estimable work on Lying.
We are led into this train of thought
by Maynard's second misrepresenta
ton, at Knoxville, Of Judge Porter
position in the Constitutional Conven
ton of 1870 on the poll-tax qualitica
ton for voters, the denunciation b.
Judge Porter of this deliberate misreP
resentation and the quiet acquiescenc'
in that denunciation which Maynard
yielded. We may at some early da,
! refer 70 the journal of the Constitu
tional Convention, TO show the gull
and brazenness Of Maynard and th
entire justice and appropriateness o
Judge Porter's denunciation. -r

THE REPORTED FAILURES IN NEW
KnfkIg

AS we have barely passed the ami
versary of last years panic, and the
mutual relations of money and crops
are now at the same point of the an
nual orbit. our dispatches from New
York are liable to have chilly effect.
AS showing the uneasiness which has
prevailed for some days we copy the
following from the Neto York Tribune
of last Saturday;
For several days pastrumorsof heavy
failures have been current IN business
circles, each day bringing intelligence
of new one Shipping houses have
been especially attacked, but of the
heavier firms mentioned none OF them
have actually failed: The strength OF
the stock market has been impaired by
the smaller failures the and unfounded
minors of larger ones. Yesterdaythe
failure of S. Kaufman & Co. of 20
Broad-st.. dealers in and exporters OF
cotton. petroleum and other products,
added to the general excitement. The
| firm was established in 1869, with
branches at Savannah and Liverpool.
AS the firm has always stood well their
| credit was good, and a considerable
number of their bills are understood to
be very evenly distributed in banking
circles. No statement of assets and IL
abilities has been prepared as yet.
From time to time during the past
week 1t has been reported that
Henry Clews & Co. had suspended.
These reports yesterday assumed such
form that Tribune reporter asked the
head of the firm if there was any truth
in the rumor. Mr.. Clews said that
when the firm failed year ago, ar
rangements were made for the resump-
tion of business, and with a view to
| effecting this object notes were given
out. some of which matured at the
present time. The firm had not been
able to meet some of the paper matur-
ing on Oct. /, and, as a consequence,
some of it had gone to protest. They
| had arranged, however, for an almost
immediate supply of money, and would
paw all maturing obligations within a
few DAYS. In confederation OF his
statements, Mr.. Clews showed tele-
Grams from abroad announcing the ne
COLLATION. of securities, and the procur-
mo of money, which would be available
now almost Immediately. In conclu-
sion, he said he did not consider that
he had suspended, but was doing ousl-
ness as usual,
