THE ORPHANS APPEAL.


Ali sure my loohs must pity wake.
Who can resist the pathetic appeal of the
orphans crSf What ear can let it pass IN
heededi
The child's mother is dead, its father lies
under the stone! Is it naked who will clothe
its Houseless; who will shelter it, Hungry
who will feed it
The little heart is broken who will repair
it'll The tiny temples ache who will take ont

The child is weak; who will support it :
Strong; who will direct its stepsf
To whom does the orphan belongi Every

public heart is either shut or open to pulse
of feeling for the hapless child.
There are three hundred little beings now
heard begging for a taste of home comforts,
home joys, from the st. Mary Orphan Boys

Mfr. Louis j. Jennings; an Englishman
who spent several years in America and
then returned to England, submits testi-
mony that bears oat the assertion that
the English language Ia spoken better in
America than in England. In a recent let
ter he writes alt is difficult to describe
pronunciation by written signs, aud the
style of talk which is fashionable now
cannot be explained to any ono who has
not heard it. 1t seems to consist in a gen
eral clipping and mipcing of words, mixed
with curious drawl, the effect produced
upon the ear being that of a new language.
It is fact that often find great difficulty
10 understanding what l hear said, and
1 am actually obliged to ask to have some
remark repeated-The word here, is pro-
nounced very much as heard negroes pro-
nounce it in the South, five becomes some
thing like fare, pleasure ia turned into
: pleashaw, later into latar, and SO forth.
No examples, however, can give an inteli-
gible dea-or idea. aw-of the atlectation
and the desire to be tine which are working
such curious transformations in our mother
tongue on this aide of the water. 1t needs

The Legislature.


What are our people goiGg to do
about electing members to the next
Legislature? Lincoln is entitled to
elect our Floater, and we warn her
to put out an honest man and one
who has sense enough to see that
the State has as much honor at
stake in this business as he has
one who is for paying our debts and
expenses, if it takes the selling of
the State Capitol to do it with.
Lawrence will claim the Senator,
and if she will put out a good man
on the above platform he will
doubtless have a walk-over. We
don't want any half-breeds from
anywhere to represent us, and we
give notice that we will pump the
man who is sent to get our votes,
and if he don't come up to this
standard, wen none Of him. AS
for the county proper, we have
plenty of material from which to
select a good representative, if they
will take it. We consider that the
times, and especially the condition
of affairs in Tennessee, demand that
the greatest care should be taken
in these matters. Tennessee has a
question to solve that involves her
life, and men of talent and foresight
and financial astuteness should be
selected for these positions, and it
is the duty of any citizen who may
be called upon in this emergency to
serve the people to make a sacrifice,
if need be, and come to the rescue
of the State. We do not know that
he would accept, but we venture to
suggest the name of Mr. w. II. Nc
Callum for representative. He is
the man we need. We expect ii
would be pecuniarily sacrifice upon
his part, but we have never known
him to shirk a duty yet Above
all, let us have men who can see and
believe that State is as much in
honor bound to keep her obligations
inviolate as an individual.

Congressional.

The senate opend the 22nd with a
discussion of the bill to authorise
the refunding of the national debt,
which was passed without amend
ment-yeas fifty-one. nays five
The bill, as passed, amends the acts
Of July IA, 1870, and January 90,
1871, so as to provide that the
amount of bonds bearing four and
a half per cent. interest, authorized
to be issued, be increased to five
hundred million dollars, and that
they be made payable at the pleas
ure of the United State after t irty
years from the date of their issue,
instead of after fifteen years. 1t al
so provides that the act shall not be
construed to authorize any increase
whatever of the bonded debt of the
United States. The remainder of the
session was taken up with the dis
cussion of the proposition to reduce
the salaries of professors in the mil
itary academy, and the senate adj
journed. In the house some dis
cussion was had on the Schenck-
Emma mine business, resulting in
its being referred TO the committee
on foreign affairs.

Babcock Acquitted.

The jury in the Babcock case
brought in averdict ofacquittal last
Thursday in two hours after the
judge finished charging them. 1t
was not unexpected, for the govern
ment had failed to connect him with
the conspiracy, but not because he
was not guilty. The case presents
anomalous, disgusting and disgrace
full facts. Babcock, indicted by
the government, for stealing from
the government, had the sympathy
and support of every officer of the
government, from the President
down, except the two men employed
to prosecute him. The President
prostituted his power, sacrificed his
honor to save him-the U. S. AT
t'y-Gen'l directed his acquittal vir-
tually-men came to his aid with
money, with official power and with
lies upon their lips-the power that
was prosecuting him interviewed to
save him-the judge virtually di-
rected an acquittal-and the jury
could not withstand the pressure.
1t is believed on all hands that
Babcock is guilty. The President
disglaced his Office and Disguised
all decency in the part he played
for Babeock, and nov it is said that
the mission to Viena, vacated by
Hon. Godlove S. Orth, who will run
for governor of Indiana, is at the
disposal of Babcock, and he will
doubtless take it and go over and
learn the Austrians some of the
lodges of radical thievery.

Fine Stock.

Mai. George I. Altman has large
stock farm near Cornersville. He
believes in having the best blood,
and on his farm can be found jacks,
horses, cattle and swine Of famous
pedigree. In letter to friend in
Chattanooga he mentions a recent
addition to his stock. February g.,
he received from England two sOws
and one boar, pure Berkshire. The
original cost of the lot was four hun
and fifty dollars, which was further
increased by expenses of importa-
ton. one hundred and three dollars
and fifty cents. The man who has
the nerve to pay five hundred and
fifty-three dollars and fifty cents for
three hogs, the Commercial thinks,
an integer in the farm policy which
is to place Tennessee in the front
rank.-FayetteyiHe Express.

The developments being made by
the investigation into naval affairs
by Nj. Whitthorne, of this State,
are bringing to light SO many gigan-
tic swindles as leads to the belief
that the navy department has been
a regular robbers roost. Among
other things it is reported that Give
hundred and fifty ships have been
sold since 1865, together with equip
ments enough then on hand to make
appropriations needless up to the
present time; that no proper account
of forty million dollars received
from such sales has ever been rem
dered."

most distinguished writer on these

equivalent to any agricultural paper.

Temperance in Fayetteville.

We do not believe there is a town
in the State where there is less drink
ing and drunkenness among its cit
liens than in Fayetteville. This
may sound a little strange to peo-
pie at distance who only know of
Lincoln county as having the char
acter of manufacturing more and
better whisky than almost any
county in the State. 1t is, never
theless, true. There is very little
incompetence among the young men
of this town, and the older ones who
have heretofore INDUCED in this hab-
it TOO freely are reforming. 1t is
Justly claimed by the friends of the
institution that this noticeable re-
form is due, in a great measure at
least, to the influence of the United
Friends of Temperance. They are
doing a noble work in our midst.
Long may they continue.-Fay-
