exchange says that simply wetting
and rubbing the stained cloth in cold
water will remove all traces of the
grass. Fruit stains will disappear on the
application of boilig hot water. No
soap should be used in either case.

was applied in a manner which, from
its novelty and valuable results, is
worthy of notice. Ina place where water
is scarce at present u little alum was
dissolved in hot water and thrown into
a tub of thick soapsuds. III a moment

The writer of the following article is
unknown to Us. We publish it in an
swer to the charges 50 industriously
put forth by set Of fellows, who are
happily now so onspicuously repudi-
ated by the Republicans OF this dis
trict, as to render them odious. The
letter is published in the Athens Post,
and is as follows:
The Houk-Thornburgh war has brought
out various unfriendly thrusts at the pro-
prietors Of the Chronicle, chief of which
is that they are the head and shoulders of a
ring There was a time in 'GS-9 that
Republicans in East Tennessee Lad no or
gan, no means of defense against the at.
tacks of the opposite party. Then it was
that Rule and Tarwater started the Chrou.
iclc. One leading object they had in COM
mencing the publication of the Chronicle
was TO put themselves in an attitude to de-
fcnd the Republican party. From that day
to this the Chronicle has been the chief
salvation Of the party in East Tennessee.
Its editors are christian gentlemen, and
have always acted with a spirit character.
! lstic of suCh-in politics as well as every
| thing else. From the Chronicle s, first
! starting, it has been in the midst of harsh
/ political war. Its office has been partially
! the headquarters of the Republican party
/ of Knox county. From this simple fact
/ he paper has been recognized by all Re-
/ publicans as their champion, its editors
| their first leaders.
/ Consequently, VIM. Rule Was chosen
/ chairman of the Knox County Republican
| Executive Committee-a position he is PIE
| eminently fitted for. This committee cons
vened in May last TO nominate county
officers 1t did so in manner generally
satisfactory. The candidates were nomi-
mated By ballot, the committeeman from
each district being allowed to vote the Re-
publican strength of their respective dis,
/ tricts for the candidate most Acceptable to
! their constituency. As member of said
committee in that convention, ! do not
| deny that there was WIre-pullng by some
persons. There is such in all conventions
] presume. But Mr. Rule presided over
the convention, and did so in a most
disiutcrc5ted manner. One or two Of the
unsuccessful candidates have ever since
that day been charging the Chronicle as
being at the head Of "a ring whose object is
TO rule the movements of the party. 1t j,

" In its appropriate place we publish q
brief tribute to the memory of Mr.
Frederick Rule father of Can't, Rule
of the Knoxville Chronicle The trib.
ute is from the pen Of one of Tenues-
sees most gifted sons, who knew the
deceased well, and j. but a Just expires.
sion Of feeling for the character of one
who has gone hence after a life full o
good deeds"
The notice is as follows
KNOXVILLE, Sept. II, 1873,
Died, yesterday morning, at his resi-
dence in Knox county, Mr.. Frederick
Rule.
Mr.. Rule was an old aud much res
pected citizen-the father of William
Rule, Esq, the postmaster and lat
mayor of Knoxville. Born in tht
neighbOrhood where he lived and died
his character was the natural out
growth of the political, religious an,
social influences, by which he was al
his life favored. At an early age b.
consecrated himself to his Maker, anI
ever after eXemplitied the profession o
his youth by humbly following TIA,
precepts of ! is Divine Master. \ far
mer, surrounded by an exclusively
rural popu alton, he was a type of tn
best class of husbandmen, Himsel
holding the plough and gathering tn
harvest, he literally and truly ate hi
breai in the sweat of his face. Al
that has ever been said in praise of tin
golden mediocrity in the enjoyment c
the worlds blessings, applies peculiar
ly to his happy condition. To him wa
granted fully the prayer Of Agur, tn
son of Jakeh Give me neither povert
nor riches, but feed me with food cou
venient for me.n Never holding a
Office or aspiring to one, he exemplifie
happily that large class OF citizens VIII
desire only the security and protectiO
of good government, aud was conten
to let others assume the respOnsibilit
and honor of conducting it. Such wa
his character, such his cheerful, cOnsi
tent aud useful life, and such the hOI
that sustained him through the pre-
tracted suffering which brought him
his end. His best and most significaI
eulOgy is the children who have grow
uparound him, and gone forth to the
several places in the world. ".

The Shirt that Opened Behind.

A man in Greenfield, whom we will
call William, got up the other morning
and proceeded to put on shirt which
his wife had just made for him, after
new pattern. AS she stood at the mir
ror curling her hair, she heard a sup
pressed sound, half way between a groan
and an oath, and turning round, said,
laughing" Why, my dear y Shut
up /" he calculated. "You are a born
fool ! Never let woman attempt to fit
shirt; she can't do it; it is one of the
impossibilities y "But, William" de-
precatingly. Don't go" talk-let me
talk Do you think I'm going down
town in this rig? A pretty disposition
you've got - Just because [ happened
to find little fault last week with your
ironing, you must go and make me a
shirt without bosom Such malicious
conduct, madam, is objectionable.
Shut up, say won't hear word !!
When "A starched shirt front is the only
finery that IL man INDUCES in, is he not
excusable for being particular i'll regard
to that, 1 should like to know? And
this thing sets like the mischief. Look
how baggy it is in front and it feels be-
hind as If there was board bound
across me !" walking up and looking i'll
the glass, hitching up first one Shout
der and then the other, after the indie
scribable manner of men trying n new
garment. His wife dared not speak,
but bringing good-sized mirror from
the next room, she held it up behind
him for moment and, perceiving by
his chop-fallen expression that he saw
the point and the front, she ran down
stairs to settle the coffee and see that
Bridget had set the table geometrically.
AS William walked down to his Office
that morning, he said to the first friend
that he met /: 81 tell you, Tom, that
little wife of mine is a born genius.
Look at this shirt, now she cut and
made it all herself no confounded but
tonholes to bother fellow. Just send
your wife up for the pattern" And it
was by the way of Toms wife that
Lizzie first knew that William was
pleased with his shirts.
