The Agricultural Future
Of Tennessee.

A correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, writing from
East Tennessee on the resour-
ces and prospects Of this State,
says:
1t appears TO me that the az
ricultural future Of Tennessee
Is very promising. The cas- :
ern and western borders Of the
Cumberland Mountains must
become great lines Of mining
and manufacturing establish
ments; these viii create a de-
mand at home for a large part
of the products Of the east and
middle sections, and at other
points in the limits Of these
sections varied characters of
manufacturing industries will
spring up. The peculiar char
, acter Of the settlement Of the
State gave it a wild nomadic
type which is fast passing a.
way with the professional horse
trader and the fiat-boatman.-
There is a constantly increas-
ing tendency to settleness and
to improved and permanent
fixtures about the farms, and al
so comforts around the houses.
The great lack Of the State is a
community of interest between
her different sections and even
between the people in those
sections; separated by the great
wide mountain plateau, East
Tennessee as almost nothing in
common with the rest of the
State, except the ties of one
government. She needs less of
the every man and every sec
ton for itself feeling; this is
passing away before the OPEN
ing up of new and quicker
routes of travel, and in a few
more years, with her mining
and manufacturing resources
properly improved, she may ex-
eel any State in. agriculture,
which she alone can rival, in
stores of iron, coal, salt and
petroleum.

Always paint your houses ii

Always paint your houses in
autumn or winter. By painting
then, the paint hardenS gradually,
and is not easily affected by the
weather, nor worn off by the beat
ing of storms. BY painting in hot
weather, the oil in the paint
soaks into the wood at once, as in
a sponge, leaving the lead nearly
dry, and ready to crumble of l.
When necessary to paint in sum
mr., it is we'll to go over the sur.
face with raw oil.

New Orleans Rifle Club,

The border trappers and Indian fighters
whose unerring bullets brought death to
the fierce grizzly and the dusky foe have
left deep planted in the American heart a
love Tor the national weapon. But science
has improved the rifles with which our an
cestors century ago fought their way to
freedom. The marksman of the present
day hits his object at a halt mile distance.
Inventive genius may gain the start of
physical skill, but the same circumstances
that developed tie invention will nerve the
body to equal results.
Our rife clubs may. be considered as ma
tional schools of arms. In these American
youth are trained to excel in the use of
the best weapons of modern warfare. The
training imposed by such school teaches
the lessons of temperance in drink and
moderation in diet. A good shot makes 9
good soldier, for he must have self-reliance,
GOODNESS and nerve.
The New Orleans Rife Club forms, in
this State. the nucleus of the great primary
school of the soldier. The club has for it's
members some of the best men Of the city.
That they are able to hold their own with
the marksmen OF other cities, will be de-
monstrated at the shooting festival which
will be held at the Magnolia Shooting Park
on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday next.
Admittance on Sunday will be free to the
public, but on Monday and Tuesday only
invited guests will be admitted.

The Schools In Richland i,

RAfvILLE, May 2i, 1879.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The high water this spring has delayed
the opening of schools in most parts of this
parish. The public fund for Richland is
small, consisting almost entirely of the two
mill State tax. Very little is received from
the sixteenth section fund. as only small
part of the school land has been sold, and
still less paid for. In 1872 valuable Sec
ton was sold, terms one tenth cash, the
balance in nine yearly payments, with in
terest. The payments have not been
promptly made. District attorneys are re-
qulred by law to look after these matters
and enforce the collection of money due
the school fund. If any one of these off.
cials in the State has performed any part Of
this duty since 1870 we hope somebody will
publish his name. So far, however. we
have not found even one faithful among the
faithless. Last year the board had two
schools, one white and one colored, IN each
OF the five wards of the parish, but the
fund was sufficient only to pay the teachers
for term of three months 1t will be about
the same this year. The teachers have
been examined and furnished with certifi-
Gates by Superintendent Brewster, and
schools will be opened 80 soon as the pupils
can attend. EIATOR.

NEW YORK.
Northern Pacific ANaira.

New YORK, May 26-The committee ap-
pointed by the bondholders of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company to form a
plan for the future action OF the bond
holders report that they have given careful
consideration to the matter of the appoint
ment of receiver, and the order of the
court which maintains the former system
of selling the company's bonds, and the
conversion of bonds into land hinders this
decree. The road is to be sold, and the
committee recommends a purchase by the
bondholders.
They propose the committee to attend
the sale of the railroad and other property
of the company, with a view to purchase
the same and take title therefor, for the
benefit of all asserting to and complying
with the conditions of the plan, and as
suming management OF the road; to attend
to all financial matters necessary to the
execution of the plan1 to place the railroad
and property again under control OF a
board of managers, to be hereafter elected.

A New Pupil of IEsOp.

The Galveston Ners develops an idea
which, though not at all new, has seldom
been allowed an appearance in its columns
or those of the Bulletin, to whom it reads
a pretty lesson. But the advice of the
Ne,cs is much better than that of the fox
who lost his tail. Sympathy with suffer
ing sister city seems to have gained the az
cendancy over crattiness. and the advice is
to beware of the trap that curtaiied Gal
veston's fair proportions, and of devotion
to deformed aristocracy. The Bulletin will
hardly be pleased at the suggestion that
Radicals are not the only people who plum
der. What. Admit that any one else in
office except Radicals would wrong 'this
people ?" Preposterous The next step
would be to admit that Radical office
holder might be honest. Oh, the Ne,rs
mans wits must have gone wool gathering
But this is what the Nems says:
Galveston is in condition to give such
advice to New Orleans as the fox that lost
his tail gave his fellows. The Council of
the last named city proposed to lease and
give control of the wharves for term of
years to private parties. The Bulletin says
that nine-tenths of the business men and
capitalists of New Orleans have looked for
ward hopefully to the plan Of making
wharfage free, and are now panied to see a
tendency to perpetrate at home, by their
own people, a speculative monopoly which
Radical impudence never dared to impose.
The fact is, that the Radicals are not the
only people who are willing to use political
power tor purposes of public plunder. Peo-
pie must learn to look beneath the veil of
politics and religion for the motives OF
human action and pay as little regard to
mere professions as to race, color or previ-
GUS condition of servitude They must re-
turn to the days of stern Justice, when
members of the first families, as we'll as
other people, were sent to the penitentiary
for stealing.

The Times and Mexico.

IL was not long ago that the Times an
nounced that among its collection of editors
was man who probably knew more than
any one else regarding the City of Mexico,
and Mexican affairs generally. Such a
statement was hard to disprove; but at the
same time nothing appeared in the modest
Times to lead one to suspect the existence
IN that office of any particular genius for
explaining Mexican affairs. It may have
been from envy, partly, but other journals
have ventured an opinion that the Times
did not possess that supernatural knowl
edge concerning Mexican affairs which it
claimed for itself But it appears these of
our people who knew nothing of our neigh
boring republic did in many instances,
seduced by it's modesty. give credence to
the Times, and frequently directed in
qulries to the oracle for public answer.
One, subscriber. according to his sigma
ture, inquiries "if Ex- Empress Charlotte. of
Mexico, has died lately" There is nothing
positively certain in the answer, but the
oracle informs "Subecriber' that Ground
about IS under the impression the unfor-
tunate lad died two OF three years ago"
The second man who turned on the Mexi-
can faucet yesterday asks particularly to
be informed regarding American consuIs.
He asks the Times:
VIII you please be so kind as to inform
me who is the American consul in Mexico
also his address. What postage will let
ter need to reach him that IS not over
weight?
The answer does not sc!ntilIate with that
Mexican wisdom the correspondent evi-
IDENTIFY expected to find in the Times office;
but there is a general rule laid down that a
man is liable to stumble upon a consul in
every Mexican seaport. and statement
made that Mr. Foster is minister, saying
nothing Of postage. The answer ,s as fol-
lows:
There is an American cOnsu. IN nearly
every seaport of that republic. Mr.. Foster
is the American minister, and his address is,
City OF Mexico.
What We wish to notice here is the fact
that Louisiana is completely ignored by our
strange neighbor. DR.. J. A. Skilton, cit-
zen of New Orleans. who is we'll known BY
our own people, is the American consul
general at the City of Mexico. He is, we
believe. the only Louisianian who is hon
ored with like position abroad. We are
rather proud of DR.. Skilton. who is
thoroughly good fellow, and we have no
doubt he would be pleased to make the ac-
quaintance OF our neighbors of the Times.
and cheerfully give them information con
cerning Mexico whenever desired.

How Senator Jones Got Caught.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times tells the following good
story about the famous Senator from Ne
vada:
Senator Jones has been taught lesson in
New York, and that is, that while he may
be very great man he can't do every
thing. His restless temperament is not one
that will allow him to be satisfied with the
inactivity of wealth already gained, and
since the first of January last he has had in
hand no end of schemes to crafty his
money making love of speculation. He
has set up a hotel in New York, gone into
the ice-making business and several other
interesting ventures, but none OF them fully
satisfied him. He longed to become stock
speculator in Wall street, and he went over
to New York some weeks ago in order to
show Jay Gould and the boys what bo-
nanza miner could do. He went into
Panama stock when it was thirty-fve, got
himself made director and went through
the usual ingenious mode of initiating the
stock up to a fancy price. All of this is
very easy to be done under the circum-
stances that surrounded Jones. He had
plenty of money, and the Jay Gould COM
bination, in order to more fully bleed him,
aided him indirectly in his plans. Jones
succeeded in working the stock up from
thirty to somewhere in the neighborhood of
seventy. If he had then sold out the stock
that he held he would have cleared some
100000. Senator Jones, however, was not
a small speculator. Jay Gould had not
mistaken the man. Jones was ambitious
and desirous of striking terror into the
hearts of Wall street by his gigantic
method of handling stock affairs He be-
gan buying Panama right and left until the
stock touched seventy nine. He was still
buying. Jay Gould and his friends loaded
him up until they thought he had all he
could bear, and then they hoped on him
and his stock Panama tumbled to thirty
eight before Jones had time to turn around.
The result was that Jones was about
$1,000 out. 1t is now stated, upon good
authority, that he will not build new
house in Washington this year as he first
intended
