The Good Byes at the Ships Side.

Don Piatt writing back from Europe
describes some parting scenes which
he witnessed on the wharf at New
York: We looked calmly upon the
fearful leave-takiug going on all about
us. How frantically wives threw them
selves into the arms of fond husbands
and wet their shirt bOsoms with the
salt water of our life's sea.
Said one, between sobs, at was so
cru-cruel of you not to let me take Ned
| know ow-ow he'll be neglected and
suf-suf.suffer."
Ned, pet name for child we thought,
how hard to have the mother separated
from the darling of her heart. But the
husband, his eyes wet with tears, as
sured her that Ned should not be neg
lected. He would see to Ned himself.
"And cut his meat and make his
bed ?" sohbed she.
ayes, Darling"
"Aud battle him in bran and warm
water, and comb and cu-cu-curl his
tail?'
Yes, there was no installing it,
Neddy was n dog, little dog, wretched
poodle or black and tan, that was
drawing from the depth these burning
tears.
We turned away disguised to hear
another grief-stricken creature say:
"Do take care of yourself, dear, and
writeevery steamer. III miss steam
er / shall be wretched. And, dear,
couldn't you telegraph me what that
jury does in the Beecher trial? Very
mean in them. L was certain they'd
do something before we sailed"
There was a pale-face1, large-eyed
woman, handsomely gotten up in a
travelling dress, who seemed to crouch
out of sight as she bent over a little
boy, little four-yesr old, who also
cried and embraced and kissed the
grief-strict en- woman he called imam
MAJ And when notice was given for
leave-takiu" friends and relatives to
depart aud nurse claimed the boy,
mother and -5'd chung together in an
agony of grie. rn IL gentleman seized
the youngster rldely, and lifting him
into his arms, said harshly:
"Come, come have done with this
stuff You'd like to take the child,
too, but you wOn't!" and he strobe
away with the boy covering in fear
and the wife covering in grief and
perhaps something else. And so every
steamer in pulling ashore its gangway
and cutting loose, drops a curtain over
the first, second or third act of q
tragedy, or terminates in one act, O
farce.

Professors James NJ. Stafford, J. b

representing the Geological Departs
ments of Institutions Of learning in
the State, have in course OF prepare
ton a school book setting forth in the
simplest way the geological, mineral,
surface and climatic features of Ten
nessee, entitled Elementary Geology Of
Tennessee for use of Schools. The au-
thors bring TO their task the result of
practical observation and study of the
State for many years. The facts have
been derived from original investiga-
tions, and for this reason it is hoped
there will be a freshness about the in
formation which otherwise it would
not have. The work will be publish
ed at Nashville, and will be ready be-
tween the first and fifteenth of next

Tha Friends Of Henry Clay.

A Boston paper publishes the follow
ing:
"When Henry Clay, stepping into
a Lexington bank one day, found that
his debts, which had long troubled
him, had all been mysteriously paid,
he exclaimed, with emotion: Good
heavens! did ever a man have such
friends and such enemies as Henry
Clay.W In quoting this, the Wash
ingtOn Chronicle remarks: We
believe the incident referred to, as re-
CARDS Mr.. Clay, is strictly true 1t is
well-known that in Philadelphia, the
really great manufacturing city of this
country, Mr.. Clay had hosts of adj
mirers and staunch friends. These,
if we mistake not, learning of the pc
cuniary difficulties of their favorite
statesman, raised the money in small
sums, by subscriptions, and quietly for
warded the amount necessary for liq-
uidating the debt to the Lexington
bank.
"Nr. Clay, when presenting him
self at the Lexington bank counter,
desiring to lift an installment of the
paper against him, was utterly con-
founded and completely overwhelmed
with emotion, when the truth dawned
upon him that friends-true, kind,
loving and cousiderate friends-had
relieved him of q feaTfully draggine
financial weight.

ATTRACTIVE EXCURSION.
Closing scenes la HoIston Presbytery
In the Mountains.

In the Mountains.
To the Editors of the Chronicle:
On the Both day of August, the Pres
bytery of Holston ,Hhaving the day
previous closed its session at Reem's
Creek, Buncomb county, n. c., will
start in body ON horseback to ascend
Mount Mitchell, the highest peak of
the Black Mountains. They will spend
one day and two nights on the top, in
a mountain sociable," interpreted
with religious and literary exercises.
1t will be time of rare enjoyment,
such as seldom occurs in ones life.
Those who have seen all the moun-
tains of earth, affirm there are scenes
of beauty here which suTpass them
all. No adjournment on account of
the weather, for to see the clouds be-
low you, or to have the lightning zig
zaging around your feet will only add
to the subimity of the scene. All
lovers of the grand and sublime in
nature, are cordially invited to make
the ascent with us. Ladies can ride to
the pinnacle, where nature has pros
vided a rock shelter. We will do all
we can TO make strangers feel at home
with US. But each person, or party,
will provide their own refreshments,
and thus all cause of complaint will be
removed.
Persons can start from Asheville the
30th, and encamp with the party at
the foot of the mountain, ready to
make the ascent the next day. Or
taking the Buncomb train from Nor
ristown, August 2Sth, to Alexander's
Tavern, eight miles from Reem's
Creek, can spend the Sabbath with
the Presbytery and start with them.
Let no excursionist neglect warm
clothing, and an outside, imperviOus
waterproof garment. For we can not
expect to make the ascent without
fogs, clouds, mists and storms.
Should the weather at sunrise and
sunset prove favorable, we shall verify
the words of the poet:
"Like strong reaper, comes the sun,
With scythe of gold,
White for his harvest one by one,
The clouds have rolled
All mgnt, ana nlled tne mountain top,
To sky, with shining, feecy crops.
think that life begins again,
Is newly found,
Like q sweet lullaby refrain,
Blends sight and sound
As if the young world, new and fair,
God rocked in cradle in the air"
Also these words:
"Ah! had but mine own elect,
Akin to me in blood and heart
Here we would gladly pitch our tent,
And from the mountains ne'er depart.
Together we would work and rest,
Together serve and praise the Lord,
Our matin, and our vesIer hymn,
Should echo with the birds abroad
And then in peace, amid the mountains,
Far from the worlds discord ant noise,
We'd wait the welcome resurrection,
To mount where bloom eternal joys

To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
There are about sixty guests at this
delightful summer resort. The accom-
modations are good, the waters pure
and largely impreguated with medi-
cinal virtues, as many, who yearly re-
ceive benefit therefrom, can attest.
There is almost constantly breeze

which the hotel is situated, which, to-
gether with the proximity of the

A Big Tree For the Centennial.

California papers mention the fact that a
Mr.. Vivian is preparing n large piece of one
of the Tulare County big trees to exhibit
at the Centennial next year. The piece of
timber selected is sixteen feet long and
twenty-one feet in diameter at one end and
nineteen at the other. The heart of this
will be taken out, leaving only about one
foot of the body of the tree attached to the
shell or bark. 1t is necessary to divide it
into this number parts in order to allow
it to pass through the numerous tunnels be-
tween California and Philadelphia. The
eight parts will weigh between 10000 and
10000 pounds, and will require two cars for
transportation. One sold foot of this tree
weighs seventy-two pounds, being ten
pounds heavier than so much water. This
timber was taken out ofthe General Lee"
a tree 275 feet high. ltcontained over 200
600 feet of lumber, besides, probably, about
200 cords of wood. The General Grant, Z"
a much larger brother tree than the Cen
eral Lee" and the largest in the world,
growing in the same grove, is left stand

church Burning.

From a reliable gentleman, who
came down the river on the Lucy
Coker yesterday, we learned that two
churches were burned near Half Moon
Island, last Friday night, about nine
o'clock. Both churches belonged TO
the Methodist denomination, one be-
ing owned by white and the other by
colored people.
Two young men, who had been
drunk in that neighborhood during
the day, were arrested on suspicion of
having set fire to these buildings. One
of them, named Houston Keeling,
was bound over to answer the charge,
and in default of bond was committed
to Jail at Kingston, to await the action
of the grand jury in the matter. The
other one was discharged from custody,
as the proof did not establish guilt.
The burning of these churches is a
heavy loss to the community there,
and it is to be hoped the parties who
did it will be made to suffer the exc
treme penalty of the law in such cases.

Of native sulphur, as yet discovered, is

principal supplies for the manufacture
of sulphurie acid come from there
the deposits contain 80 per cent. OF

COMMUNICATED
The SenRtGrahiD.

AS the duty of appointing Senator
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of the Hon. Andrew Johnson,
devolves upon the Governor of Tennes-
sect is natural that the people, espec-
tally in the present state of National
affairs, should be interested as to whom
he may appoint.
Insomuch as Mr.. Johnson was an
East Tennesseean, it is but reasonable,
under the present apportionment of
State officials, that his successor should
be from the same section.
A number of distinguished gentle
men are named in connection with the
position of Senator, but no oneis more
prominent or better qualified than our
fellow citizen, the Hon. John II. Cro-
Zler.
His sterling integrity, as a man-his
ability as a lawyer-his reputation as a
clear, forcible and eloquent DICTATOR,
combined with his experience as a leg
islator both in our State aud National
councils, justly entitle him TO the high
place he holds in the esteem of the peO-
pie of East Tennessee aud are guaran>
tees that as a Senator in Congress he
would reflect honor upon his state, and
would be an ornament to the body of
which he was a member.
We confidently trust that Gov. Por-
ter, in the discharge of the embarrass-
Jag duty imposed upon him, will not
fail to give the claims of Col. CroZier
the consideration to which they are
justly entitled.

EAST TENNESSEE.
The scna.oriaI Question.

To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
The appointment of successor to
eX-President Johnson is a matter of
deep interest TO every citizen of the
State. The names of many good men
from all parts of the State have been
presented TO the Governor through the
press but the successor to President
johnson ought to be chosen from East
Tennessee-and l would suggest the
name of Col. John Baxter, of Knox
county, as the man best qualified for
the place. His ability, integrity and
courage peculiarly fit him for the high
and responsible Office of representing
Tennessee IN the Senate Of the United
States.
We want man who has the intel
lect to properly represent our Com
mOnwealth, the integrity to do right,
and the courage TO do what his intel
lect and integrity point out rs for our
best interests. Such a man is Col.
Baxter, and we earnestly commend
him to the Governor for the position

fear that he had met with "change of
