A Petrified Baby.
Albany Country Gentleman.

We have very interesting mys-
terry here in the shape Of the second
edition OF the famous Cardiff Giant.
Two men living in the town of Kim
ball. ten miles from Fort Hudson,
while out hunting, stopped to gather
specimens of stone from a gravel
bed in the Pine river that was wash
ed out from the bank near by during
the freshet a year ago. In this loose
bank they uncovered a stone re-
sembling the face of a child After
looking at it in wonder for time,
they thinking of the doubt that
hangs over the discovery OF the fa-
nous giant, went out and brought
fifteen ar twenty men to witness this
before taking it out. 1t was then
removed with mass Of gravel ad
herring. The face, chin, throat, part
of the right arm. shoulders, breast.
part of one arm and the whole of the
other showed distinctly in perfect
form, all the rest merging into mass
of gravel and small stones cemented
together the same as seen in any
gravel pit. The right arm is bent,
the fore arm is lying across the body F.;
the other is bent below the elbow.
The eyes are we'll defined and very
broad forehead fat and sloping
dose small and sharp, nostrils open
lips very thin and and fiat; mouth
well deGned-curve of the lips per.
fectly natural chin square; slight
depression or dimple over the breast
bone, also just above the arm where
the ribs meet, or at least just below
where they meet. The form OF the
breast is perfect. The skin on the
surface is smooth. not showing the
marks OF tools. Some call it a pc,
trifed child, and account for the
great bReadth of the head at the eyes
by some pressure that fattened the
forehead. Among the small stones
are petriied coral. shells, ETC.. such
as are very common through this
country. Can you tell US what it is

VagrantS.

In the case of the State VS. OLA

Flippin. of the Criminal Court. of
Shelby county. and has announced
that vagrancy is an indictable Of

Jurisdiction in such cases except TO
bind over parties 10 answer before

magistrates have been deciding cases
under the vagrant act and commit

county work-houses for non-payment
of fines. The Supreme Court opin-

sentenced to imprisonment by mag

DNEsDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1875.
Daniel Webster,s Friend.


He wasn't such an old man, but
his face was very sad, his hair was
long, and he was bent over. He en-
tered a store on Jefferson avenue
Saturday. and after warming his
hands at the stove he enquired OF
the proprietor:
"WilI you give me little adviceT 2
''I guess so what is it?'' was the
cheerful reply.
The stranger backed mp to the
stove, wiped his nose on his hand,
and after moment continued
"If you wanted to die would You
jump into the river or take pizen p
"Well. / don't know about that l
guess I'd rather live on than to do
either one. Why, do you feel like
DYING"
81 do, mister p said the man in a
deep toned voice. Yes, I've staid
around long enough
"What is the matter-why do you
want to der questioned the mer-
chant.
What's there to live for? de-
no such times as there used to be-
no such men as there once was
"Well, the times are little hard.
but there's lots of good men left, ]
guess
''Purty good, maybe" said the old
man as he felt of the stovepipe, "but
| can't 'sociate with 'em! After a
man has knocked around with Dan
iel Webster and Henry Clay he can't
come down on a level with these
every day plugs and feel good
''Did you associate with those
men?' p
"Did I? I've shaken hands with
Clay, Calhoun and Patrick Henry
more times than you've got hairs on
your head p
''You have, eh?''
"Ahd | knew General Lafayette
and all those fellers, and now to
have to come down on a par with
these no-accounts is killing me by
inches. I don't care if die to-
night"
Il guess you could get along if
you tried hard" said the sarcastic
merchant.
You're a brazen image r ex-
claimed the old man, splitting on the
stove with grert vigor. II am as
far above such sunf1ower men as you
are as the eagle is above the chip
munk.'
"You get ont of here - said the
merchant. "You are an ignorant
old drunkard -
Il am. eh!" shouted the old man.
and he backed the merchant over a
box of pam-leaf fans. The clerks
hauled him off and threw him out
doors, and as the police took him
the old man said:
''Fm ready to die - ''Daniel
Webster is mp there with the angels,
and hear him calling me to get ont
of this one horse crowd.

How he Lost his Hat.

A citizen of this, burg is in misery
about his hat. The other day he hung
it on a hook just hack of closet door
which opens against the hook. His wife
had occasion to rummage around in the
closet after he hung up his hat. AS
often as she pushed that door back just
so often would it fly shut, leaving her
alone with the darkness. Vexed at last
with the persistent contrariRess of the
thing, she threw her weight against it
and was rewarded by seeing the door go
clear back and remain back just as she
wanted it. But when the husband a
day or two later, went to that hook for
his hat, what sight it was to be sure.
Flatter than drink of ice water on
Christmas morning, more wrinkles in it
than washboard and as far removed
from any hope of future usefulness as a
Keokuk bank. His wife bought a hat
rack the next day. and now when he
goes into the house she meets him in
the hail, and points out to him the folly
of going up two flights of stairs and
hanging his hat behind a door in theattic.

Apropos Of the present breeze
growing out Of the views of Senator
Andrew Johnson's successes upon
the National Bank question, as ex-
dressed bv himself in a recent inter
view. it may be interesting TO note
the latest publicly-expressed views
of Mr.. Johnson on the same subject.
1t is we'll remembered that, through
ont his canvass last year, he express
ed his decided opposition to the sys
tenn. In his speech at Shelbyville.
in September, 1874, as reproduced
10y the american, he uttered this Ian
guoge
''Afr. johnson then explained his OBJ
icctiOns to the present National banking
system, saying that bankers receive 16
per cent. on the capital invested in their
tbnsiness, and in the exigencies of trade,
much more sometimes"
A voice-"A man gets out of paying
taxes on money invested in Government
bonds, too, don't hep"
Mr.. Johnson-"Yes, sir, thank you
for the Suggestion. Instead of banking
upon bonds, issue greenbacks bearing no
interest, and lift the bonds placed on de
pOSit. DO this, and we Will save paying
6 per cent. interest on S400, 000, 900, max
ing $24, 900, 900 annually"
In addition to this, it may not be
out of place to say that we we're
some time ago, assured by an init
mate personal and political friend Ot
Mr.. johnson. that. at the time Of his
sudden death, he was making his ar
.rangements to 90 to Ohio to make 8
series of speeches in behalf Of Gov
Allen and the Democratic platform

Southern Manufactures.

People are beginning to ask. says
the New York Star. why the South
does not manufacture her own cot
ton goods. and thus supply herself
and the world with cheaper fabrics.
She undoubtedly possesses the
greatest advantages in her abundant
water power and in the facility and
cheapness with which she can trans
port her wares to market. On the
other hand, it is only under very
exceptional circumstances that she
can continue to prosper while buy
ing back her own stuff worked up in
mills so distant as those of New
England and Europe. The facts are
so patent, fundamental and aXiO
matte that, even before the war,
capitalists had begun to invest in
the establishment Of Southern manu-
factories. Since the war the move
ment had been still more active.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia are far in advance of all
other States in this enterprise, and
the fact that they are so is readily
accounted for by the superior natu-
raj advantages which thy possess.
The panic of 1873, which demoraliz-
ed all branches of trade and relaxed
the energies of business throughout
the country. very sensibIy darkened
frightening prospects in this direc-
ton; but the inducements the South
has TO offer are a standing tempta-
tion to CAPITAL, and the indications
are not few that the manufacture
ing interest of the country is soon
to centre in the South.

A LOve-Siclx Sailor.
San Francisco Bulletin, 18th.


An exciting scene occurred off
North Point yesterday morning. as
the French corvette was leaving for
Tahiti. During the time the Volta
remained in the harbor one of the
men, it seems, utilized his "liberty
days" in lavishing his attentions on
a young French woman residing in
this city. The attachment was re-
ciprocated, and when the day of
parting came it went hard for both
AS the vessel got under way, the
love-stricken sailor with a bound
cleared the bulwarks and headed
boldly for the shore. The corvette
was instantly stopped. boat lower
ed and manned. and his capture
speedily effected. But he was no
sooner placed on deck than he sprang
overheard again. only to be captured
the second time. Among the wit
nesses of his plucky attempts to es-
cape, who stood on the dock at
North Point, was the object of his
devotion. Her face was the very
picture Of despair when she saw her
lover captured the second time.

The New York Herald anticipates
a good result from the decision of
the United States Supreme Court. to
the effect that National Bank loan
ing money at rate above the legal
interest forfeits only the usury or
excessive interest 1t says: "The
settlement of this question is going

money market. and in the case of
New York city and Wall street will
hush up the cry for the repeal of the
usury laws for the reason that, in
times of monetary stringency. the
national banks will take the risk of
lending money ut higher rates than
seven per cent. through trustworthy
and honorable banking houses. and
thus defeat all speculative maehina-
tiOns and combinations for the lock-
ing mp Of money. AS long as the
principal Of such loans was in jeo-
paIdy the national banks we're afraid
TO interfere. But now that they can.
at most, lose only the interest, and
then in very rare instances. the long
looked for solution of a steadier
money market is believed to be
reached in this decision of the Su-
preme Court to day. which. in one
view of it. is virtual repeal Of the
usury laws

The first years of every mans
business or professional life are
years of education. They are in
tended to be in the order of nature
and Providence. Doors do not
open to a man until he is prepared
to enter them. The man without a
wedding garment may get in sur
reptitiously but ne Immediately
goes out with flea in his ear. We
think it is the experience of most
successful men, who have watched
the course of their lives in retrospect
that whenever they have arrived at
a point where they were thoroughly
prepared to go mp higher, the door
to higher place has swung back
of itself. and they have heard the
call to enter. The old die, or vol

EAST TENNEgsEE

The section of country known as
East Tennessee was, perhaps, more
thoroughly ravaged and ruined by
the late civil war than any other por-
tion of the South. When peace came
it found this section lying literally
in ruin. Ten years have passed away,
and what do we see now? Not a
rich country, not very prosperous
people, it is true, but still a country
and people who are far better of
in every particular than they were
in 1865. Slowly but surely they are
building up gradually they are ris-
ing TO prosperity. All that is need
ed is time. Nature has done much
for the section. The lands are strong
and very productive. The climate
is healthful and pleasants Mines of
iron, copper, coal, zinc. lead and
quarrIes Of beautiful marble abound.
The water-power here for running
machinery is unsurpassed in the
world. East Tennessee in the fu-
ture will be a swarming hive of in
dustry and wealth. A writer in the
New York Tribune who has traversed
Tennessee from Memphis to the
North Carolina line has this to say
