A DISTINGUISHED MIssIssIpp1AN:

We have watched with great in
terest and pleasure the course of
Hon. 0. R. Singleton, member of
Congress from the Fourth Missis-
sippi district. He is a man Of fine
ability and education, was in Con-
gress three times before the war,
was a member of the Confederate
Congress at Richmond, and has
served in the State Senate and as
elector. In the present Congress
he has taken a high ~Statesmanlike
stand and enjoys the respect and
confidence of both parties. His
great experience, his familiarity
with parliamentary usuages and
with public affairs made him a use
full and leading member. His con-
stituents have displayed their good
sense, their appreciation of merit
and ability by r%enominating him
for Congress. He will doubtless
be elected to the Forty-ffth Con-
gress. He has recently been visit
ing some relatives in Rutherford
county in this State accompanied
by his wife. The Murfreesboro'
Herald of this week, speaking of
the event, says:
At the invitation Of the Tilden and
Hendricks club he addressed the people
of this city Saturday night. He had q
large audience, who paid strict attention

would have on the country; reviewed the

and Endorsed him as the beat man in the
United States for the position to which

COUPON BROKERAGE.

1t has been asserted by some Of
the papers that mildly defend the
policy of paying out all the money
that can be scraped together in a
year and a half to pay six months
interest in the face of a suggested
compromise, that no transactions
have taken place in coupons, and
could not in the nature Of things.
We are not well posted as to the
operations of Nashville and New
York brokers who handle Tennes-
see bonds and coupons, but we are
satisfied, and so are the people,
that a gigantic ring, with millions
involved, sustained the funding
bill and assisted in its passage. 1t
is not likely that those who were
then SO greatly interested unloaded
all their bonds or look on with in
difference now. We are prepared
to prove that transactions in cou-
pOns have taken place during the
past summer. In one instance a
citizen of Nashville, not unknown
in banking circles, sold to a Mem
phian nine thousand dollars in the
coupons Of July, 1876. The deliv-
cry was made in June or July, and
if we mistake not at seventy cents,
an unusual price. The Nashville
mar was seeking a purchaser and
offered to sell to party here who ex-
pected to have use for them. What
was done with the previous cou,
pcns, those say Of January, 1876,
and July, 1875, we are not advised
and have not the means at present
Of finding out. They may have
been sold to railroads who owe the
State, or to spectators. or held in

ton. The people at large had ne
idea that any coupons would b.
paid "dollar for dollar" during
the present gubernatorial term 0.
in this year. Nothing in the Gov
errors letter of December Is, 1875
would have encouraged a bond
holder to reach such a conclusion
The letter seemed to waive tn
question of interest payment nat

of therein had been definitely Sc

George Alfred Townsend's Cape May Letter
to the Philadelphia Times.l
Stockings of blue, red and
striped are worn this summer in
the bath, knee high, with a coquet-
fish little white seamdown the side,
as if it was a rip. She is aware
that her foot is almost always in
ferior to a mans in grace and plant.
A man stands like a marble statue,
with the blue veins cut clearly; a
woman's foot is the trademark of
irresolution and only half deyel-
oped, and the toes take hold of
nothing. Her big toe points up
ward and her little toe shrinks into
the sand. The precise connection
between woman and her squeal |
could never ascertain. Originally,
no doubt, when she was alone with
Darwin, the squeal was all the
language she had. Development
came along and the caudal part of
the lady became an imperfect bunch
of toes, while the object finally
learned to articulate. Yet on all try
ing occasions she esumes the squeal
runs up the line of breakers at
Cape May, as the cold water strikes
three thousand ankles. Then we
observe the uniformity with which
every daughter of Thetis is armed
in her corsets. Their diminished
proportions confirm the story of
Adam that it took only one of his
ribs to make a whole woman. But
these general defections Of form
only make more admirable the per.
feet of her sex. She is from Balti-
more, and weighs about one hun
bred and thirty pounds, at the age
of sixteen. Her hair is a rich cop
per brown, flung loose like name.
Her feet and ankles are as white as
the heety soul of a billiard ball,
which has invisible legs of ivory.
She wears a suit of dark red, with
a skirt and slender breeches, and
dashing down the sands and into
the soap-Suds of Mrs. Neptune, she
hears the small boy exclaim, per
force; What a pretty daughter
our washerwoman hasl"
The San Antonio Herald tells Of
two mastodon teeth exhumed from
a mountain side in Llano: "The
discoveries say hat a long tusk ex-
tended out of the earth, but crum-
bled on the attempt to remove it.
The teeth have each four ridges,
somewhat worn by chewing, but
the enamel is perfectly preserved.
They are nearly as large as an ordi-
nary brick-about the size of a
small family bible with copious an
notations, if any Of our readers
have ever seen one. The animal to
which they belonged was probably
of age when it died, at least it is
safe to say it had cut all its stom-
ach teeth. 1t must have had jaws
strong enough to crush almost any
thing, even, perhaps, a righteous
and a Just cause. The man who
bought the teeth could give no in
formation as to what the animal
ate. A bystander thought itmight
have been pecans or peanuts, be-
cause the peanuts and pecans are
sold outdoors on the street corners,
whereas, if candy or canned oysters
were its diet, it would starve, as il
was too big to get through an ordi-
nary store door. Our impression
is that the animal camped out for
living, but as there has been no in
quest, of course we can't say witt
any certainty how it came to it,

GEORGE SMITH, THE EXPLORER.

In he death Of Mr.. George Smith, of the
BRUSH Museum, the archaeological world
las sustained o very severe loss. Following
III the wake Of MIR. Layard and Sir Henry
Rawlinson, MIR. Smith for many years past
has devoted himself 70 the study Of cunei>
form lettering and the deciphering Of Assy-
rian tablets The key to the reading of the
7 .rsian cuneiform writing was discovered
by Grotetend, but ii was left 10 Sir Henry
kawlinson 10 read the records Of Darius
and decipher the accom- panying Scythic and
assy-ro-B abylonian texts. The study of
cuneiform writing las also been carried on
with great zeal by Dir. Hlnchs, Dr.. 0ppert,
and others, but the chief merit was due TO
Rawlinson. and MIR. Smith The researches
OF the latter were quite extensive. After
seversl years Of labollous work he was en-
ablel to publish the results Of his labors
among Assyrian tablets. These tablets
contained portions OF the Chaldean account
OF the Noahcialn deluge, confirming IN a
most accurate and renarkablc manner the
Biblical narrative. Pubic attention was at
once directed to this very interesting and
valuable discovery. and an expedition was
proposed by the London Daily Telegraph
aud carried out by Mr. Smith during two
seperate visits to the site OF Nineveh. The
results ot these expeditions were presented
to the British Museum. Upon the 18th Of
Nav. 1872, sfr smith commenced work at
Eouyuniik upon the library Of tho palace Of
>annAeaerib
Searching through the excavations made
h~ former explorers, re soon found himself
in possession o. tablets BIZ great value, por-
lions n fact of the missing account Of the

smith published the great work which has
made Als name famous. 4 second aud .

A monument to the memery Of Vaucanson,
the great mathematician Of the last century,
has recently been erected at Grenoble,
France. Il is to the ingenuity of Vaucan-
son that the world owes the invention Of the
chain for communicating motion at y dis
lance. Through the application Of this
principle, he was enabled to construct the
first spinning-machine and his wonderfully
clever automatic 1t is said that among
these last marvels Of mechanism was a duck
which could wadale on dry surface and
swim in the water; which could quack, eat,
and drink, aud actually digest lis food by
means of chemicals introduced into the
stomach. Vaucanson was not q Tavorlte
with the Court OF France; and, when his
name was proposed to the Academy Of
Science. he was refused admission through
the influence Of his enemies among the aris>
tocracy Louis XIV. was well pleased with
the action Of the Academv,-remarking
