Edgar Emerson had located, or he
would have gone directly thtre, for
it was his intention to see Bertha.
Strange they had never corresponded
Edgar had often thought Of writing to
Bertha, but he felt delicacy in 50
doing, and 50 he bad never heard Il
word from her. she might be uni
ted with another, or she might be
dead, he had never thought OF that
before. lie had imagined all the
time she was the same sweet, inno
cent creature. he used to take riding
il his l;ttle boat, but tine in lis Oh
ward course mast produce changes,
although no particular changes had
been wrought in the Emerson family,
except Bertha had dcvtloped' INTO 4
lovely young lady.
Edgar proceeded on without sd
venture until he arrived at AnoGa,
there he eaquired for Emerson and
much 20 his qualification was inform

our from The Mississippi; he deter
mined to 60 there that night if posi-
lie, although the wind was blowing
fur;ously, and the snow falling III

in the afternoon, and after encoun-
tefing almost insusnountab'e Oh

arrived about ten that evening ut the
ferry, opposite Emersons. The ferry.

ward TO undertake 4 passage over
the small and turbulent river, they
had proceeded about two-thiIds OF

the boat was upset and both were
precipitdted into the raging waters,

What an imposing picture
Edward Emerson had been indus

Edgar Holt, it has been so long since

of seeing him in the little boat We
used to row on the pond Of our old
home" This is not strange my
dear "But, papa, | have never
dreamed of him before. and somehow
the dream has been impressed on my
mind all DAY" Edward noticed the
seriousness manifested by his daugh-
ter, and thought it strange that she
should be Impressed with any thing
that seemed so slight. For while
there was silence, and then scream
was heard proceeding from the river.
Edward ran down hastily and dis
covered the ferry boat approaching
the shore, while two objects were
struggling in the water; without
hesitating a moment, he jumped i'll
his own boat that was tied near by.
and proceeded as rapidly as possible
in the direction Of the recei;ng ob
jects, and succeeded in picking up
one; the other sank to rise no more.

Perhaps as good work fas he police could

TO the use OF the dangerous slingshot by the
Juveniles The boys have got so reckless and
expert in the use OF this weapon that they
are not only doing great amount OF wanton

ty, and even endangering life; as bullets,
buckshOt, stones, &C., can be thrown with
great force and accuracy the whole length of
square by the slingshot Complaints come
from all parts OF the city OF damage done by
this weapon. A favOrite amusement of the
boys is to aim at anything In the shape of
glass, and they not only make havoc in the
common window glass, but they send their
missiles with such force as TO perforate heavy
plate glass, stained glass windows of
churches, the glasses of street lamps, car
riages, &C. The amusement" takes the
form of cruelty, too, in the wounding and
killing OF pigeons, sparrows, and even house
hold pets exposed In cages in front of dwell

A speek Of "Hard'' and s.Soft,, War An
Tennessee.

II seems that Judge Key, OF Tennessee
successor TO Andrew Johnson in the United
states Senate, has stirred up a hornets nest
In that state by some utterances In favor of
honest money. The Nashville American, state
organ Of the democratic party, calls upon the
senator to resign, and upon the Governor to
convene an extra session OF the legislature
that a man may be chosen who is ain full
accord with the party" The country papers
have taken the matter up, pro and con, and
the sectional cliques of the party, in East
Middle, and West Tennessee, are all by the
ears over IL. The Chattanooga Times and the
memphis Ardld1lche, both hard money pa
pers, have taken up the cudgels in behalf of
senator Key, and are having decidedly the
best OF the argument. Senator Key believes
In gold basis, but not in over hasty re-
sumption, and he is opposed to the resump-
lion act OF 1875. But IL Is his position on the
national banks that has drawn the heaviest
OF the fire upon him. The last platform of
The democratic party in Tennessee demands
The adjustment OF the national banking
system, but Senator Key does not endorse
The platform rhetoric in this respect, and
says that though desiring to see some safe
and easy way by which the national banks
can be dispensed with, he thinks that to de-
stroy them now would be to aggravate the
commercial distress which is upon u.s. They
would force the collection of their debts, de-
cline all loans and accommodations, and
draw in their currency, and at the same time
hoard in their vaults all the legal-tender
notes possible for the redemption of the bank
notes, producing an Immediate contraction
Of the currency.
Judge Key is said to have a mind of his
own, like Andrew Johnson, and according to
report he is packing his trunk for Washing
ton without a thought of resigning.
