BASCUM'S NEW IDEA.
He WANTS 4 HUNDRED THOU
SIND CALVES.

He WANTS 4 HUNDRED THOU
SIND CALY
COUSIN JOHN IL have an idea
And it's a good one. It's a magnifi-
cent idea, Cousin John. / have had
it for some time, but was afraid to
tell it, for fear some one would get
ahead of me on my patent. But I'm
all right now. I have secured my
patent, and only need q good part
ner with few dollars in ready cash,
20 help me introduce the thing, and
my fortune is made. The thing is
this, John, and it will work, too /:
You know the girls Of the period are
death on fashions, and the fashion
for the front hair at present is, to
have it cut rather short, and in as
rough O manner as possible, so as to
make it friz, and look as rough as
possible. But with all the rough
cutting and frizzing they can do, it
will not stay frizzed but by the use
of nv patent, the hair can be made
to suit any and all. Did you ever
see a horses tail that had been chew
ed off by a calf? Wasn't it about
the worst frizzed thing you ever saw?
Well, now, that's it, John. All /
need now is money enough to pur-
chase a few calves Of the right sort
mules, of course = and sufficient
number of agents to keep the thing
moving, and am a Rothschild, am
satisfied that, with proper care, the
work can be done to suit any one.
But there is one thing connected
with the thing that will render it
disagreeahle TO me. l am very ten
der hearted, and cannot stand to see
any dumb brute punished. And |
fear that in many cases it Will be
necessary to punch the eyes out of
the calves, in order to have them
perform their duty properly, for there
are thousands of young ladies of the
present period that no sensible calf,
that can see, would dare to face. Nor
do blame them. But / have paid
my money and procured my patent,
and if they can't be learned to per-
form their duties with their eyesight,
they must be deprived of it. Bust
ness is business, aud this thing must
be pushed to its utmost while it's
fashionable.
And now, Cousin John, as am
short OF funds. you will greatly oblige
me by announcing to the world that
| desire to purchase one hundred
thousand muly calves, for which a
liberal price will be given. and if
blind, double price will be paid. l
also desire an agent for each calf, or
if a man will furnish his own calf
blind, of course-a liberal per cent
or the profits will be given.
just here / desire to say that II
any man can furnish a calf, that can
see. that will do the chewing under
any and all circumstances. without
having to be blind-folded - which
would be considerable trouble
can get his own price for that calf.
Lend me a helping hand In this,
Cousin John, and you may soon re-
tire to private life, and enjoy the
fruits of your labors.
AS ever, yours,
BASCUM.

Interesting Sunday School Con
cert


RUssELLvILLE, Tenn, Sept 80, rs.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
I take pleasure this morning in giving
the report of Sunday School Concert
and Exhibition, held at the Methodist E.
Church, at this place, last night. All
necessary preparations having been pre-
viously made, the house was crowded
by early candle light, when the curtains
were Withdrawn and a very appropriate
song was sung by a choir of Sunday
School girls; after which prayer was Of
fered by Esq. VIM. Miller, who has long
fought for the Sunday School cause in
RussellviIle. After this, the spectators
were amused and entertained by many
excellent dialogues, speeches and sacred
songs. I am proud to say it was grand
success, and deserves to be emulated in
every village and Sunday School through
out the country. Below we have the
names Of the ladies who managed this
entertainment, and who are always to be
found ready at Sabbath School to in
struct and point the way to happiness.
Mrs Lou Leister, Miss c. Rogan, Miss
Laura Fisher and Mrs. Lizzie Galbraith.
Respectfully, A w. K.

"a Recorder Meyer, of Chatta-

The solemn dignity of the investi-

nights since "a reckless youth. not
having the fear of the city council

From a special dispatch to the

were grand and appropriate beyond
anything Of the kind ever witnessed

The procession was two hours In

Der OF distinguished Tennesseans
and visitors from other States were

cred the memorial address, at night,
in the Capitol, before an immense
audience. Never did Nashville wit

Andrew johnson. the Great Com

Arrested for Murder.

Considerable excitement, we learn,
has been caused in Granger county, by
the recent arrest of Thomas Collett, of
Union county, W w. Christmas, Mont
gomery McGooIdrick and Esq Booker
Dalton, of Granger county, as being &C
cessories to the murder, just before the
close of the war, of Larkin Johnson, an
old and well known citizen of Granger
county, living at the time of his murder
near Beams Station. Collett had
his trial last Thursday, and was ac-
quilted. Esq. Dalton's trial is fixed
for to morrow, at Jarnagin's Store,
near Beams Station. Fears are express
ed by those familiar with the parties in
terested in the trial that other difficult
ties will occur before the trial is closed.

Turns up in the Penitentiary.

II n "
Many of our readers will remember
the circumstances of the killing, several
years ago, of Mr.. John A. Simpson, near
Mooresburg, by an old man named Pat
ton, and his son, and the subsequent
trial and conviction of the old man, who
was sentenced to the penitentiary for a
number of years, and the escape of
young Patton from Jail before his trial
All efforts to trace or arrest young Pat
ton after his escape having failed, the
friends of Mr.. Simpson lost all hope of
ever bringing him to justice for his par
ticipation in the murder of Mr.. S., but
recent developments fixes the wherea-
bouts of young Patton in the peniten-
tiary at Nashville, having been sent
there since his escape from the Rogers
vile Jail, from Chattanooga for stealing
hog. 1t appears that young Patton af-
ter his escape, went to the neighborhood
of Chattanooga, changed his name and
married, and his thieving propensities
inclined him hogward, for which be was
''snatched" On his arrival at the peni-
Tertiary, he was recognized by former
fellOw-prisoner of his i'm the Rogersville
Jail, who has since served out his term
and returned to Hawkins county and
made known the above facts. Young
Patton will doubtless be punished yet
for his participation in the murder of
Mr.. Simpson.

O. cones, aged Is years and months.
How terrible at all times is death.
But when the reinors4less tyrant comes
claiming the young aud fair, how in
finitely more terrible seems his fatal
touch that withers wheMsoe'er it falls.
On the present occasion we sorrow for
one-of our fairest and best, gone from
among US; fond fathers pride a
loving mothers joy; an idolized sister,
sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.
Her illness was but brief, and of such
a Dature as to occasion her friends no
alarm, until an unexpected change
occurred. that all too soon carried
her beyond all human aid and worldly
care. The sad event has cast gloom
over tho entire community.
IN MEMoRIUM.
ny ". c.k.
Tearfully we folded her cold white hands
Lovingly over her breast;
Sorrowfnlly kissed her clay cold. lips
And laid her down gently to rest.
we laid her to rest with void in our
hearts,
And wept sttter tears o. er her tomb,
Yet we know she's at peace where death
never parts,
Nor sorrow and care cas-. their gloom.
oh, when think Of all that made The past
Like mystical dream of joy; and the
days
Were golden bars, speeding swiftly along,
With the whispered sweetness of an orient
song
From hearts too happy to do sught but
praise.
And my heart has chanted dirges ever
since
Her fingers slipped through mine; and
quickly DER
Her face the dr cad shadow fell; at the
sight @ ,ft
My soul drew back with horror and ar
fright,
"My Godl no more" l shrieked, "my
darling's no more"
No more for me indeed, the voice and
smile -.f
And sweet commings; but for her the
best;
No more of pain or anguish; no more
Nor agonizing doubts; nor distressing
fear;
She is done with all lies troubles and at
rest.

r "A great thaw has been in progress
for the last few days, which makes the
sleighing in town look a little thin.
We understand that there is lots of
snow on the roads outside of town yet,
and coal isas low as it generally gets,
ranging from fourteen to sixteen cents
bushel.
Monday being legal holiday

ed the day. Court was in session,
however, all the salue as if it were not
a legal holiday, and We worked hard
all day.
-Protracted meetings are still held
at the NJ. Z. Church in this place, and
although the MEETINGS are well attend
ed, and good attention given to the ex-
ercises, no converts have vet been
made, or at least, no professions. How
much longer the meetings will last we
are not informed.
Hard coal is becbming scarce, as
it always is at this season of the year,
