AN FxrRA sEssIon-cu1 Ronni

Some Of the papers Of the State are
discussing the possible results Of q called
session Of the Legislature. This we
think is a waste Of. talent. There is no
reason to suppose that the Governor en-.
t%ertains such an idea, unless, indeed, he
desires to have Tennessee represented
at the Centennial, or something Of that
kind. So far as the State debt is con.
cerned, there is no evidence that the
Thirty ninth General Assembly has ex.
p~erienced a change Of heart since the
adjournment. II is surmised that the
Governor is q high State credit man, but
he has never grappled the question a,
did his immediate predecessor. II il
true he vetoed a bill repeating the Dor
rowing power ED vent to New Yorl
with the Comptroller to try to borrow
money to pay the July interest. Hi
veto was supposed to imply a conidenc,
in bis ability to borrow funds to pay th,
July interest, and therefore justified tn,
Legislature in the suspension Of take,
until the 18th Of November. That time
is close at hand, and il the peopl,
have the money very large payments
will be made this month. How
much Of the amount thus collected vii
be left over after paying the current ex
penses Of the State, and the two or threG
hundred thousand dollars borrowed BY
Governor Brown to pay the interest due
last Japuary, remains to be seen. Il
there is anything left, We presume il will
be applied, as far as it will go. toward
the payment Of the July interest. No

About Two and one-half miles from

which runs out of the Southampton
water, there lies exposed at low spring
tides two tiers Of old piles covered with
mud and sea. weed, which have long beea
a tayorite haunt OF the cormorant end
other sea birds. The piles extend from
the waters edge for some distance into
the bank Of the river in the direction of
Swanwick, and according TO tradition
they formed part of the wreck of a Dan.

time OF the Danish invasion of England
in the year $40. Within the last few
days a gen leman who has lately taken
a residence In the neigbbo. mood con-
ceiyed the idea Of raisiap the presumed
wreck ana employed a number Of men
IA making explorations. When at a
uePSh Oh some eight or ten feet 10 the
muu' pianKs were found attached TO the
pues' ana the shape Of the vessel was
traced These planks were attached to
t1e umoers in three t~hicknesses, each
planed to a beyel and bent to the shape
OF the ship. The thickness of the
PianHa was from four to six inches, and
the umbers fourteen bv ten inches. The
researches were continued to the keel,
the measurement Of which was found to
be 1870 feet in length. A quantity Of
Cement was embedded between the keel
and timbers, andth planks we're caulked
with moss. The timber appeared to be
Of oak, but the color being changed 4
resembled coal, and was'extremely hArd.
otherwise it was perfectly sound, and
even saw marks we're d~istingniaAa6le in

much thicker make than those Of Inc

The following story is told as a re.
marksble instance Of the appreciation
of humor: A German soldier was or
dered fifteen lashes for some alleged act
of insubordination. Fritz, disciplined
to silence, was fixed to triangles ia the
presence Of his company. When the
first lashes fell upon his naked shoulders
the worthy fellow, instead Of displaying
evidences of distress, burst into a mt OF
uncomfortable laughter. The execution.
er, regarding this manifestation as by no
mean complimentary to his skill, laid
on with redoubled ardor; but the more
he laid on the more Fritz laughed. When
cut down be still found great difficulty in
restraining his mirth. and INDUCED in
loud, intermittent outlaws. The officer
in command Of the company, with a
curiosity naturally excited, approached
the bleeding wretch and inquired the
cause of his mirth. why" replied
Fritz, breaking into q fresh fit Of laughter,
I'm the wrong man.

trained horses Immediately dart out Of
the stalls and take their places at the

affair, and found that. from the moment
the string was pulled to the moment
when the horses were hitehed to the en-
CINE, the driver in his seat and the men

dashed out of the stalls, took positions
