The Lewiston journal tells the story of
two ladies who called at stable to hire a
horse to 60 ten miles out The proprietor
was out, and the hostler, being "new
conner" not acquainted with the horses,
gave them the best looking one. On the
return of the proprietor he found the la
dies had gone with horse that was so
high-spirited that he would trust but few
men with him. He took another team
and drove after the ladies, but did not
succeed in overtaking them until they
arrived at their destination. He asked
if they had any trouble in driving the
horse. They replied they had not, that
the animal was splendid horse; that he
not touch him with the whip. He asked
them if they had any trouble in passing
teams. They said they did not as every
one who saw them coming got out of the
way and gave them the whole road

An engineer on the Marquette, Hough-

An engineer on the Marquette, Hough-
ton and Ontonagon Road was pushing a
heavy snow-plow with a slxty-ton engine
down a long and heavy grade. Every
pound of steam was on. Turning curve
he saw about a quarter OF mile ahead
tour-horse team. hitched to a sleigh,
caught in the track in such a way that the
drivers seemed unable to extricate them.
When they found that they must abandon
the sleigh to its fate they scampered of,
much to the engineers surprise, as rapidly
as their legs could carry them. He shut off
steam. whistled down brakes, but to no
purpose. The engine was going and didn't
mean to be stopped The steam whistle,
however, started the horses into a plunge
whereby the sleigh was SO far carried from
the track as to escape the engine by no
more than hairs breadth. AS soon as he
could stop the engineer returned to see 1t
any one was hurt, and found that he had
missed an excellent opportunity of run
ming the first through train to the moon.
There were eight hundred pounds OF nitro
glycerine in that sleigh
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. Chas A, Mer-

OF Albert Merrill, Esq, of this city, went
to California sixteen years ago, when he
was but nineteen years of age, leaving
behind him young lady in Belfast OF
still more tender years, to whom he was
betrothed. BY his perseverance and in
dustry he has been very successful and has
become man of influence and high re-
spectability, as well as Of a large fortune.
Last week he returned to Belfast to visit
his former friends and more particularly
the young lady of his choice, with whom
he had kept up correspondence during
his long absence. Yesterday he passed
through here, stopping at the Preble
House, on his return to his adopted State,
accompanied by the lady as his bride,
who has 50 long and anxiousy waited his
return. Who will say there is no romance

The Grief of n Rhinoceros.

Even a rhinoceros is capable Of grief,
according to a Paris correspondent, who
tells the following anecdote of the rhinoc-
eros which recently died IN that city. The
animal had been in the collection at the
Jardin DIES Plantes for twenty two years,
but was of an unsociable and irascible
temper, and not even his keepers ventur-
ed to take any liberties with HIM. One
day. however the little lap-dog of the
wife of the director, given her by Queen
Amelie, got into his house by squeezing
in between the bars of the iron work
Instead ofkilling the intruder, as expected,
the rhnoceros allowed the little Great
ure to play with him, scampering over
his back biting his neck, and playing off
all manner of sportve tricks. The two
became great friends; the wee doggie''
passing several hours each day with his
undemonstrative acquaintance, which put
up patiently with ali its teasings One
day the rhinoceros inadvertently set his
foot on his little pet, killing it instantly.
The poor brute's grief at the catastrophe
was pitiable; for two days he did not eat
a particle of food
S. n. Moody OF New Orleans. who died
recently by his own hand, while suffering
from an intolerable neuralgia attack, was
a singular man. He prospered when
Louisiana was wealthy, and he prospered
when Louisiana was as poor as rat. The
secret OF his continued success was adver-
Using. He knew how to advertise. and
the duller the season the more persistent
" he kept himself and his wares before
the public. He was known as the "Shirt
King of the Southwest" On every dead
wall and on nearly every telegraph pole,
in the Mississippi Valley, the wayfarer
was invited ito get his shirts at S. N.
Moody's." lie was a most liberal patron OF
the daily press, and by thousand ingen-
ious devices. and in spite Of tremendous
opposition, he died as he lived, the super
eminent and pluperfect king of Shirts -
Such was his faith in the necessity of cap
tivating the fancy of the people and Win
ming their attention that it was seriously
declared in New Orleans, years ago, he of
fered $4,000 to help pay for new steam
boat intended for st. Louis trade, provided
he had the naming OF the craft His offer
was promptly accepted, but almost as
suddenly declined, when it became known
that Get Your Shirts at Moody's' was to
be the baptismal appellation.

FINANCIAL.

Business continues quiet, with money
rather easy with the banks. Loans are
made on thirty and sixty days time at the
rate Of ten per cent. per annum.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks in checking charge at
the rate Of s. per thousand premium, while
they buy bankers checks at par and checks
drawn against cotton and other produce at I
of.
Gold continues to de line, closing in New
York al ll4i. Our dealers pay 113 and hold
at llS. Silver is taken at l06 for halves
and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are irmer, being quoted
in New York al SO ana at IS and 4g5c.
There are no transactions in this market
Our local bonds are quiet but firm. To
morrow there are S1OO,O Davidson county
bonds falling due, with no provision, as far
as we know, 10 meet them. The county
will receive tomorrow 5000 dividend on
It's stock in the Nashville and Decatur rail-
road. We DO not know how this money
will be appropriated, but We suppose it will
be fairly distributed between the various
holders Of the bonds falling due tomorrow.
There are also 100000 Nashville COrpO-
ration bonds falling due tomorrow for
which no provision has been made, unless
the proposition Of the city authorities TO
renew these bonds by giving new bonds
sixteen to twenty years to run be considered
a payment. The finances of the city are in
a crippled condition 1t is true, but we do
not think the holders Of these old bonds
will consent to take new bonds worth not
more than zoe in the dollar.
Our railroad stocks are quiet, with no
change in rates. For quotations of our
various local securities we refer to those
given by the Nashville Savings Company,

New York Correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Gazette.
Tweed began as a brush maker, at
iourneyman's wages. Had he remain
ed at his trade and continued honest,
his native talent would have insured
wealth-but he arose to a dizzy height,
and then suddenly fell. Hank Smith, !"
who died in his official career of Police
Commissioner, began as a driver on
the Erie Canal, and reached at one
time a membership IN the ring which
gave him (as 1t was estimated) a mil
lion. OF this but little is left, and his
widow is living IN a distant village.
The late Police Superintendent JOurdan
began as a newspaper folder IN the ser
vice Of the Tribune. He was IN the
Office Of Superintendent for three years,
and left an estate worth, as 1t Is said,
100000. The salary of this Office is
$500, but the facility Of receiving
brides enables the incumbent to get
rich rapidly. 1t has been said that
JOUrdaR knew the secret of the Nathan
horror, and that an enormous fee Sc
cured q pledge of immunity IN favor of
the guilty parties.
Another man who has risen from
poverty to wealth Is Brown, the noted
sexton of Grace Church. He began
life as a carpenter, but being Of a port
" turn he found the trade laboriOus,
and obtained an appointment as IN
spectOr of carriages. Next he was
made sexton Of Grace Church, and for
L L. all H.
age Of that rich society. He Is extern
sively employed TO manage social re-
unions and receptions, IN which branch
he is an adept. He has the run of all
the fashionable young men, and many
a SIS note Is handed HIM to refresh his
memory when invitations are 70 be cir
culated. Such a man may assist a
friend TO an entrance into a certain
class Of society, if not into the best.
In this manner Brown, though occupy
ing a sec0nd-rate position, is IN fact an
autOcrat among many Of the fashion
able world, at least in that which is
next to the creme de Ia creme. Instead
Of showing the plane at SIS week, he
now has a country seat, and Is estl-
mated at a quarter million.
Oliver Charlick, who Is now Presi-
dent Of the Long Island Railroad, and
is considered a millionaire, began bus
mess as the keeper of a groggery on the
wharf, where the profits of the orgies
Of sailors and longshoremen gave him
both money and political influence.
Charlick was at one time a leader in
the city government, and this was a
rich source Of plumber. OF course he
became wealthy. These results, and
others which could be referred to, show
what curious changes occur amid the
social revolutions Of a great city.

This would soon pay Us out Of debt, and
is twice our taxes for the present year.
Give US this dog tax law, and the local op-
ton, and we can save enough in three
years to pay all our debts, and after that
We can send greeting to every valley and
plain in the State the highly cultivated
schoolmaster to develop its great and pro
greSSiVe intellect. l have not exaggerated,
and 1 believe all who hear me win agree
that am correct. The men Of this State
who own its lands and pay its taxes, and
make it what it is, favor this law. Those
oppose it generally who have no taxable
property and wish to keep mean ours to
clear the State of mutton and wool. We,
on this floor, are probably wearing wool
grown on the Alps, on the hills and plains
that once echoed TO the music of the bu-
COLES rendered immortal by the genius OF
Virgil.
Our mountains and plains are adapted to
sheep raising. On millions Of acres nutTi-
tive grasses fall uncroped to the ground.
There are no sheep to eat it and transfer
it into mutton and wool, TO feed and clOthe
our people. MOngrel puppies, whelps and
hounds, and ours Of low degree must be kept
at any cost to the State. The tax will
clear the State of 10000 hurtful whelps,
and the remainder will raise 100000 Of
revenue. 1t is worth trying.
Let us try Il two years and We can then
contrast the loss Of 10000 whelps with the
luxuries Of an abundance Of mutton, and
wool 10 protect US from the chilling blasts
Of winter. This is peculiarly the farmers
measure. Trade unions and chambers
Of commerce, and banks, insurance
companies and railroads and every other
great industry Of the State, have their
charters and combinations. The farmer
has heretofore had little aid from legisla-
ton. Widely dispersed throughout the
State they cannot combine and concentrate
to protect their own interests, and often
professional men can't appreciate their in
terests. Ii becomes them to speak out
with loud voice and make themselves
heard and felt in the halls of legislation.
Beings combined and by organized action
prevail, right or wrong. l plead their
cause to-day, and urge the passage Of the
bill to promote their interest. 1t will save
them millions, which they can now i'll af-
ford TO lose. 1t viii put large money into
their pockets, without wear and tear of
life. Under its influence, focks Of sheep
will grow up, anu the shepherds love song
and lutte will make our mountains and
waste places glad, and some genius may
rival Virgil, by rendering them immortal.
Give US this and local option, and we can
afford TO vote even sixty cents on the hun
bred dollars 10 pay the interest on our in
debtedness. Without some such relief
measures, the people can't pay it. Cursed
with whisky and perniciOus whelps, it is a
standing wonder that they can pay any
thing.
