Ahnn, hymn Rookn.

From the Topographic Advertiser
We sometimes fear that there are
more lies sung on a Sunday than are
spoken on all the other days of the
week. And hymu-book makers are
responsible for them. You cannot take
up a selection Of hymns that is not
largely made up Of rhymes expressing
experiences that not n person in a
hundred Of those who sing them is con
scious Of at the time, and yet the whole
congregation, with a few conscientious
exceptions, join in, and the rafters ring
with a chorus o! lies. Strong language,
but true, this is, and we state it plainly
in the hope of inducing a reform in
hymn-book making. English bymnol-
ogy requires a. thorough overhauling
Hymn.books are mostly a mass of
bad poetry, mawkish sentimentality,
and bold doctrinal statement, with
here AND there a true hymn inter
spersed. Old Pliny wrote that the
early Christians met together and sang
hymns to Christ as God. Nowadays
worshippers sing, beside these, hymns to
angels and to men, to ministers and to
sinners; and execrable jingles they are,
mostly, A hymn,book containing fl
teen hundred hymns has at least a thou
sand TOO many. Barely a hundred per-
feet original hymns or paraphrases have
been yet produced in the English Ian
guage. BY admitting good TRANSACTIONS
of the tender and majestic hymns of
Latin and German authors, with English
hymns Of a fair degree Of merit, two
hundred more might be added. By a
large stretching of poetic taste and
religious feeling, another two hundred
might be taken. And now We should
have a book of half a thousand hymns.
Whenever a really new good hymn az
terward appeared, an inferior hymn
could be omitted to make for IFS
insertion. In this way the churches
would have a book that could be used by
all denominations-a portable book-a
cheap book, and the present fearful
waste Of ink, paper and binding be
avoided, and the more fearful parrot
worship of a congregation be largely
diminished, if not wholly prevented. 1t
may be argued that the clergyman is to
blame who selects Objectionable hymns;
but why give him the opportunity to do
so2 And why compel the slim-purse
70 squander his shillings for q
hotchpotch oil rhyming matter worse
useless to him2

10 the General Assembly the bill pro
viding for the taxing Of a class Of our
citizens, known as bachelors, passed
several readings, and was referred and
reported on as follows:
The Committee on Bachelors, through
Mr.. Buchanan, chairman, made the fol-
lowing report on the Senate bill to in
crease the school fund by a tax on bach
elors:
That owing to the fact hat bachelors.
in a moral, social, political and religious
point of view, are held in low estima-
ton by the Senate of the Thirty ninth
General Assembly of Tennessee, and
owing to the additional fact that bach
elors, as q general class, are entirely
without the sympathy OF their fellow
man, and bachelors residing or ranging
within the commonwealth OF Tennessee
shall be required to pay the tax asked
for in the bill pending, and that such
tax, when paid, shall be applied to the
education OF the blind children under
the State care; pr0rided, no one shall
be considered a bachelor who has not
lost all hopes of future bliss, which bliss
is alone 20 be met under the petticoat
government Of the marriage relation.
The committee recommended the pas-
sage of the bill.

The entire northern portion of the city
was swept away by the flames. -Four

BY foreign residents, composed of En-.

men and a few Americans, and was
insured in companiesin European cities,
mostly Amsterdam, where the loss falls
very heavily. No American companies
lost anything by the fire.
The combusible nature of the struc,

flames to spread with great rapidly, Al

In even hours from the time of the
breaking cut of the fire a space Of
about one.hal( of a mile square had

Come in here, you black rascal"
That is what the young lady said. The
young lady, you see, was closing the
window blinds at the twilight hour, and
seeing her little black dog sitting out on
the stoop, wsgging his tail, and wistfully
looking up at her, her heart was moved
with an impulse of affection toward her
pet canine, shiyering in the cold and
wagging out his mute appeal. So she
fastened TO the door, and throwing it
open gave vent to the loving expression
we have quoted: Come in here, you
black rascal" SO far as the dog was
concerned, he seemed to understand the
terms OF endearment addressed him, but
when the young lady's pastor, dressed
all in black from top TO toe, stepped for
ward from the shady side OF the door,
way, he wore a curious expression on
his c%ountenance The young lady looked
at the reverend gentleman and blushed.
The dog wagged his tail as if willing to
divide the honors. We don't know ex-
actly how it came out, but report has il
that the good man regarded doubtfully
the ebony beast, glanced at his own
b~roadcloth, concluded it was all right,
and accepted the Young lady's declara
tien that "I-l-mesnt the other-the

The Stamp Tax on Checks-Excite
ment among Banking Men.
Nav YoRK, March thanking men
are very much excited over the action o.
the Internal Revenue Department at
Washington 10 establish an inquisitoria
system Of investigating into the manner
Of %transacting the business Of banks,
with a view to learning whether any
checks which we're not properly stamped
have been paid. The banks we're called
upon to furnish evidence Of any care
l%essness or omission on their part in this
respect, the object being TO collect the
penalty OF fifty dollars for any check
discovered to have been filed without a
stamp. AT an informal conference yes
terday between Williams, President of
the Metropolitan Bank; Tappen, Presi-
dent of the Gallatin Bank, and Yer
milye, President Of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank, the subject Of the stamp
tax on checks was considered. The
bank officers had written to the Com
missioner Of the Internal Revenue De-
partment some time before, asking for
the official ruling or Interpretation of the
tax law. Yesterday they t~elegraphed
for a reply, and received in answer a tel
egrsm stating that the answer was COM
ing.
Wheatley, Williams a Co., sugar re-
fners, who failed a few days ago, have
met their creditors and talked with them
on the subject of their Indebtedness.
The liabilities Of the firm we're stated at
$67I,09O. The assets we're variously es-
timated at from $3.50 900 to $3.50, 900.
The outstanding notes of the firm made
up a total of 1921, 900. The cash assets
were stated to be $4,000. The refinery
was valued by the firm at $3l7 1000, but
at auction the probable price now would
be from 100000 to $l5O,OOO. The firm
had refined "a, OOO,O 900 pounds of sugar
in 1874; all of it at an average loss of
fifteen cents per one hundred pounds.
The firm thought Of paying fifty cents
on the dollar in this way-twenty cents
at the end Of one year, fifteen cents at
the end of two years, and fifteen cents
at the end of three years.
