Home Conversational Training
There is no nation more fluent in


There is no nation more fluentin
conversation than the American. =
The French are more voluble, per-
haps, their language permitting
greater rapidity of pronunciation
than the English. One trouble with
us is, each one likes to do all the
talking; therefore, Americans are
not good listeners. But mere talk
ing is not conversation. In almost
all home circles there is much talk
ing done during the day, but we
fear there are few who do not
reserve their most brilliant CONVEX
sational powers for other assem-
blagas than the home group.
Many father comes home tired;
he has worked hard and talked
great deal, told amusing anecdotes,
and displayed much wit. He has
come home to rest. He takes out
his paper and is soon oblivious to
everything around him. Wife would
like to tell him many of the little,
harrassing Affections of the day, and
would like to hear of some of his in
teresting experiences; but if he were
a deaf mute he could not be more
silent, only an occasional grunt an.
swering her many attempts at con
versation; and the children expect
ing the good night kiss, and often
not even that are not noticed.
Such home, whether the abode
ofv ealth or otherwise, cannot be
healthy or happy one. AS par
allax, draw around the evening
lamp of another home circle. The
father tells the anecdotes from the
paper as he reads them; the mother
laughs her sweet, low laugh, and the
children burst into merry ha! has!
To watch them as they ask qucs
tlons, and listen to the answer and
patient explanations, the wonder
ment, interest and thought imprint
ed on their young faces, Is picture
for an artist. The home education
is an heritage more valuable than
land or money and one beautiful re-
compense in life is, that in making
others happy we bring happiness to
ourselves. Parents who practice
self denial, and endeavor by cheer
:ul conversation and playful wit to
enliven home life, reap a rich reward
in the better thoughts and nobler
actions of their children, and will
experience the truest and best con-
tentment Observation-Disclosures

Particulars of the Disastrous
Hurricane in West Tenn.
The Loss OfLife and General De
structiOn OfPrOperty.
TAmerican 3Ist. i


From a gentleman who arrived
here yesterday from Obion county
areEobtained the following addition
al particulars of the tornado which
visited Western Kentucky and Ten
nessee late Sunday afternoon. He
heard the storm approaching from
a long distance. 1t had a roar as it
approached more terrible and omin-
Gus than the most terrific thunder.
Long before 1t reached his vicinity,
he would hear it bursting through
heavy growths of timber. When it
crossed a farm a sort Of lull would
ensue, and then a deeper rumbling
as it struck and FRUSTRATED trees,
large numbers of which had dia-
meter offour and five feet 1T swept
down all landmarks, and so mixed
up fences that farmers were unable
to tell which of the scattered rails
belonged to them. Blankets, quilts,
and bed clothing generally, were car
ried along in the general whirl, and
came down five and ten miles distant
from the point where they were
taken up.
A man was actually lifted from
the earth and blown thirty or forty
yards, landingin a field, bruised and
demoralized, but not seriously hurt.
Lying fat upon his face, he waited
until the hurricane had spent its
fury, though fearing all the while
his br0inS MIGHT he dashed ont nv q
falling rail or limb of a tree.

Experimental Farming in Ten
neSSee.

That intelligent. energetic farm
ingpays in this State, may be seen
by the following facts presented to
the Country Gentleman by a cores
pendent writing from Franklin,
over the signature of J. B. M:
Nothing but unadulterated laziness
can keep the farmers from making
the business pay well in this part of
the State; they can work from the
beginning to the end Of the year,
and never be stopped by the wealth
er, and they can so rotate their
crops as to have something in mar
ktt every mouth of the year. am
no farmer, but an eXperimenter, and
give only small portion of my time
to it, and l manage to have some
thing always ready for market.
Commencing in the spring with
wool, lambs, mutton, wheat, oats,
hay, clover, millet, herdsgrass, tim
othy, pork, mules beef, fruit, pota-
toes turnips, etc. My gross pro-
ducts this year were 81 900; expen-
ses, $4,000, and land improved.
Wheat, rye and oats all growing
finely, and land broken and subsoil-
ed for next years corn crop.
There is not only a text but a
capital sermon in the above exhibit.

There is an Arabian legend which
runs thus: Allah, the all wise, the
great OmDipOtent created men of all
conceivable diversItles of mind and
body. Death came and laid his
hand with equal violence upon the
heads of the just and unjust. As
the dead lay strewn over noble hills
and profound valleys, in city, field
and even unto the edge of the wild
erness, Allah essayed to finish that
creation which should ever be Fold
ed as the most degraded and cotemp-
tible in the estimation of the good
of all nations. Passing in and out
among the dead, he took the loins
of teacher, the heart of liar, the
brains of a deceiver, but forgot to
take the conscience of any. Mold
ing these into shape that was un
comely, he cropped the ears from an
ass that stood grazing near by,
stuck them upon the head of the
shape and the creation was known
from that time and forever as the
Esvesdropper.

PLEASE PAY UP.

4 Our necessities are very great
four expenses are very heavy, aud
all cash. We have had to bor-
row money all summer to meet
these expenses, and now we can
borrow no more. We must begin
to pay up what we have already
borrowed; and if we do this, and
meet our current cash expenses, we
must collect every nickel due US. |

Tax Sales.

The Cleveland Banner publishes
the following remarks in regard to
the legality of the tax sales:
Last week many of our exchan-
ges came TO us filed up with sales
of land for taxes. The day of sale
is fixed on Monday, the Sd day of
January next. These sales, like all
others of the kind since the war,
will be illegal, and the tax titles
made by virtue thereof will not be
worth the paper that they are writ
ten upon. To make a tax title hold,
the courts have decided that the
sales should have been advertised
forty days preceding the day of sales
and that the sale must be made on
the first Monday of July in each
year. This decision made in compli
ance with an old statute, which has
never been repealed. Unless tax
sales are made in compliance with
this law no taX-title can be success
fully defended before our courts.
We make these remarks for the ben
eft of the public"

Every Man Should Read This.

We have probably all of us met
with instances in which a word
heedlessly spoken against the repu-
tation of a female has been magnif-
ed by malicious minds until the
cloud has been dark enough to over
shadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed, not nee
essarily from bad motives, but from
thouhgtlessness, to speak lightly OF
ladies, we recommend these hints as
worthy of consideration. Never use
her name in improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make as
sertiOns about her that you think
she herself would blush to hear
When you meet with men who do
rot scruple to make use of a wo-
mans name in such an unprincipled
manner, shun them-they are the
very worst members of the commu-
nifty, lost to every sense of honor, or
feeling of humanity. Many good
and worthy woman's character has
been forever ruined and her heart
broken by a lie manufactured by
some villain and repeated where it
should not have been, and in the
presence of those whose little judg-
ment could not deter them from cir
culating the Dragging report.
A SANDER is soon propagated, and
the smallest thing derogatory to a
woman's character will fly on the
wind and magnify as it circulates,
until the monstrous weight brushes
the poor, unconscious victim. Re
spect the name of woman; and as
you would have the fair name unfair
nished, and their lives unembittered
by the slanderer's bitter tongue, heed
the ills your words may bring upon
the mother, the sister or the wife of
some of your fellow creatures.

The critics laugh at Mrs. E. D.
E. n. Southworth's novels, but she
derives an income of $4,000 a year
from their sale. She is fifty years
of age, has a beautiful home in

taught school, was married to a cru
ell, improvident husband, who de
serted her, leaving nothing for the
support of herself and two children.

There is one man who appears
perfectly satisfied with the personnel

and that man is Mr.. Speaker Kerr,
who made the appointments.
Speaking of the latter, Mr.. Kerr Is
reported 10 have said that he believ
ed it right and proper to transfer
the power of the House from the
Northeast to the West and South,
and that he did so deliberately. He
calls attention to the fact that for
the first time in fifty years New En-
gland is cut down to her due proper
ton of power in the House of Rep
