MINERALS.

Upper East Tennessee is celebrated for
its valuable minerals. Unicoi has her
share. Besides the rich deposits of Iron
Ore to DO found in almost every section
of the county, there have been already
discovered some of the best of specimens
of lead and silver ore. Probably the
best of these specimens has been found 10
the Rich Mountain. Good indications Of
the existence of these valuable metals are
to be found also in tho Unaks aud Bald
Mountains,

The timber of this region consists Of

white and black pine, hickory, maple and
wild.cberry. THIS is quite an interest in
Unicoj. Her immense forests of timber
are destined to become valuable and will,

MINORS.
The Fast C=mdren Of asemphis.

The Fast C=iIdren OF Memphis.
At present and for some time past
minors are and have been permitted to
drink at bars, play keno, faro, billiards,
pool and all other games, visit houses Of
ill.fame, carouss around town at night
in hacks with the demi-monde; in fact,
they have been given more latitude and
put on more swagger and bluster than
older people. This has become a nui-
sance to all parties concerned, and espe-
cially so to the parents Of these fast
youths and their employers, who know
but little as to the midnight habits of
young Memphis. The law with reference
to selling mihors liquor or permitting
them to gamble or play billiards, pool,
etc., or visit places objectionable repute
is very strict in this State, but that law
is not enforced by our city authorities,
and in consequence many q young man
not Of & is!on the high road TO ruin.
AS an illustration of this fact, which has
its counterpart in scores Of other cases
not yet developed, we eau refer to the
case Of a young man of nineteen years
of age who, within the past few days,
admitted to robbing bis generous en-
plOyers Of from three to four thousand
dollars within the period of two years
past, which morey he spent among his
fast companions of his own age (all
minors), ct saloons, gaming houses,
houses of ill.fame, midnight hack
rides, oyster and champagne sup
pers with Msgdalens, at the keno
rooms, billiard and pool rooms, etc.
he had been carrying on a system
Of false entries and stealing for months
until at last a discovery came and be
is now disgraced. His employers
through kindness refused to prosecute
him, and permitted him to leave the
city. We understand a strong effort will
now be made to enforce the law with ref
erence TO minors. The above is not the
only fast youth of Memphis who has
been spending his nights in debauchery
aud has been spending the money of bis
employers. Let the law on the subject
be rigidly enforced by the Police Com
missioners.

Literary virIIlty.

One of the most notable characters
ties of such writer's as Shakespeare, Scott,
Thackeray and Dickens is what may be
called, for lack Of a better word, Uiriiity.
They write like men. There is no dan
dyism or dilettanteism about them. If
they deal with the passion of love, they
deal with it heartily but it is not the
only passion which enters into their
work. hate, revenge, a%varice, ambition
all play their part. Love is not theonly
passion that inspires them. 1t is not
regarded as the begin-all and the end-all
of life. They deal with great questions
and large affairs. They find themselves
in a world where there is something to
he done besides ~dawdling around petit
coats and watching the light that dances
in a curl. They do not exhaust them
selves on Hirtations or intrigues. They
enter into sympathy with all the motives
tbat stir society, all the interest that alb
sorb or concern it, and by this sympa-
thy they touch the universal human
heart. Their poems and novels are pic
lures of life in all its phases and the
homely joys of y cottagers Preside, the
humble cares and ambitions Of the SIM
ple hind, the disgusting tricks and man
ners'' Of social shams, ss well as the
greedy ambitions Of the mlser or the
politician, are depicted With the same
fidelity 10 fact as the loves and relations
Of the sexes.-Dr j. g. Holland,

'E'nllcyrund'- Opinion Of EaHnaii-
HDn.

Tallcyrand, the great French diploma
,ist, visited this country in 1i40. lie
modc the acquaintance of our distin-
,,nishrd statesmen, and the one who made
the strongest impression upon him was
Alexander Hamilton, Talking with Mr..
George Tclinor. of Boston, in 1910,
Taleymnd said that he had know nearly
I'll fine marked men of his time, but that
hr had never known one in the whole
coual to Hamilton. Mr.. Ticknor, MS
much gmtiiicd as he was surprised Mt the
compliment to his countrymNn, modcstly
suggested that the great commanders
and statesmen OF Europe had dealt with
larger masses and wider interests than
Hamilton had. "But, MONSIEUR" Tallcy-
rand instantly replied, Hamilton thor.
oughly understood Europe.
Subsequently, when ambassador to
England in 1892, Tallcyrand said to Lord
Holland that of all the distinguished
men he had met with, the three most
powerful intelccts were Napoleon, Chas.
James Fox, and Alexander Hamilton.
But what most excited Talleyrand's
wonder was that Hamilton, having been
secretary Of the treasury, should be poor.
II have behcld one of the wonders of the
world" said the Frcnchman. II have
seen man who has made the fortune Of
nation laboring all night to support his
family,
Tulcyrand had occasion to pass IIamil-
toms law office late at night and early in
the morning, and each time saw the lamp
of the hard.working tawyer burning.
Belonging to school of statesmen which
believed that the great officials should be
well paid for their patriotism, and ought
not 10 be scrupulous as to the mode Of
payment, Tallcyrand was naturally as
tonishcd that the man whohad controlled
the finances of nation should be so poor
as to be obliged to work hard to support
his family.
Hamilton was so poor at his death that
his property was not sufficient to pay his
debts. They were paid by several of his
friends.

Resolutions Of Respect.


The following wel!.merited resolutions
of respect to Major Edmund Mallet, re-
Gently appointed Indian agent at Tulalip,
W. T. were passed by the Carroll Insti-
tute of Washington City at its meeting
on the 2lst ult. We clip them from
the Baltimore Mirror, and from brief
but pleasant acquaintance with Major
Mallet we fully endorse the sentiments
contained therein:
Whereas, our late associate, Major Ed
mOnd Mallet, has, by faithful and scrupu-
lous performance of his duty in the SER
vice of the Government, merited and re-
ceived promotion to higher and more
responsible trust; and, whereas, during
his sojoun in this city he has gained the
esteem, nay, the highest admiration, Of
his fellow.citi2ens by honest and right,
embodying in himself all the chaacteris-
tics ofa Christian gentleman, without
fear and without repl oach;n and whereas,
he has won the regard ofhis fellow Cath
olics by being always foremost in the
works of christian charity, the exposure
by pen and tongue Of bigotry and error,
and the elucidation of truth and where
as, he has more especially endeared him
selfto his brother-mcmbers OF this associa-
ton 10y the energy and zeal with which
he has ever sought from its organization
to etfectuate Its noble aims OF instruction
10 the young, intellectual advancement,
the dissemination of the principles of our
holy religion, and the crushing Of error;
therefore.
ReSotoed That in his deeply-regretted
departure from this community the cath
oliC church has suffered the loss of an in
defa:igable worker in its cause, and we,
the members of the Carroll Institute. an
officer distinguished by all the endow-
ments going to make up the perfect
man.
ReSoLred. That while we congratulate
our late associate on the cause of his de-
parture,we hereby express for that depar-
ture deep regret, and hereby extend to
him our best wishes in his new sphere OF
life, firmly believing in his ability to
Adorn and ezalt an office too often pros
tituted to the Lasest ends.-CdthOlic Sen-

Sweets to the Sweet.

We hear a good deal of the need of
employment for women-why should
not young girls develop their muscles,
strengthen their constitutions, and en-
bark in the pleasing as well as the use
full occupation of gardening, having
first, of course, made special study of
what they are going to undertake?
We know that there are plenty of anna
teur lady gardeners, and that they are
usually most successful cultivatOrs; to
these we say, $50 on and prosper"
but there is room for other and distinct
classes. Many of the operations of
gardening are especially suited to wo-
men, for they require neat-handedness,
careful manipulation, and minute and
delicate attention. The sowing and the
saving of seeds, the raising of cuttings,
budding, grating, hybridizing, the
training of bush, pyramid, and espaliJr
fruit-trees, the gathering and packing
of fruit and flowers for the market, and
most of the m i-arIous operations of
the propagatlng and plant-houses,
might be most efficiently done by wo-
men; and granting that men would be
required for the rr severer
labors of digging, trenching,
manuring, and draining, and
for any other heavy work, it would very
seldom be necessary to employ skilled
gardeners, for the lady-workers would
of course possess sufficient knowledge
to be able to direct and superintend
every operation. There would certainly
be nothing mental in such an oecupa-
ton, and we do not see why the, daugh-
tiers of gentlemen in reduced circum-
stances should not seriously undertake
it, not merely to the very great advan-
tage of their own families, but also,
perhaps, later, in some profitable or
ganization where young women of the
poorer classes could be trained and en-
ployed under them. If some one would
bring systematic gardening into fashion,
we should not only hear very little of
the need for stimulants and the other
of young-ladyhood, but we (.
should no longer see SO many weedy
borders, unpruned and unfruitful vines,
and greenhouses devastated by aphides
and thrips.-London Spectator,

DOdging the Tax.COllectOr.

d. H. Mitchell, of LeavenwOrth, KS,
had S19,350 to his credit in a bank in
that city on the 2Sth of February. On
that day, to avoid paying tax on it, he
drew the money in the shape of U. S.
legal-tender notes from the bank, on
his check, placed the notes in an en-
velope, sealed it up, and deposited it in
the vault of the bank as a special de-
post for safe keeping. Three days af-
forwards he withdrew the package and
redeposited the notes as an ordinary
credit. The County Commissioners
heard of the transaction, and added
1000 to his assessment as penalty,
and he was taxed on the increased
amount He filed bill in equity against
the Commissioners to restrain the col
lection of the tax, alleging that, as his
bank balance had been converted into
u. S. notes which are not taxable, and
were held in that form on the day his
property was listed, he could not be
taxed on them. The Superior Court of
Kansas dismissed the bill, for the rea-
son that a court of justice sitting as a
court of equity will not lend its aid for
the accomplishment of any such pur-
pose as escaping taxation.
The case went to the U. S. Supreme
Court, and that tribunal affirms the de-
cision of the Court below. 1t says
Omitted States notes are exempt from
taxation by or under State or municipal
authority, but court of equity will not
knowingly use its extraordinary pow
ers to promote any such scheme as the
plaintiff devised to escape his proper
Tomato share of the burdens of taxa

the mouth, pain in the back, sides and
shoulders, a dizzy sensation in the head, a
sort of whirling when rising up suddenly,
a peculiar distressed feeling at the pit Of the
stomach, an all gone sensation, with dis
tressed feeling after eating, like a load on the
stomach, the cOuntenance has haggard
appearance, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, bowels are eostive at times, urine
scanty and high colored, with sediment on
standing, hands and feet cold and clammy
at times, the skin after a while has dark,
dirty appearance, with brownish cOlOred
