FALLING RoCK
Six Thousand Tons of Sandstone
about TO Roll Down the Side
of Lookout Mountain.


The Chattanooga Commercial of
Tuesday says: On Sunday hun
dreds of people visited the noun
tain for the purpose of taking a look
at the immense mass, which is slow
" severing itself from the ledge of
rock at Bragg's Bluff, near the toll
gate. The first indications of the
severing process were discovered
about a week ago, and since then
the work has been almost constant
ly going on. The greatest progress
50 far discovered has been an inch
an hour. but on Sunday, at $3.50 P.
II, it had reached distance ofabout
sixteen feet from the parent ledge.
The erevice is about thirty feet
deep. The length of the falling
rock Is about one hundred feet, and
the weight is estimated to be about
six thousand tons. The rock com
menees just above the spring near
the toll gate, out Of which, standing
under this great mass of rock, so
many people have drank, feeling
perfectly secure. When the rock
falls it viii take with it this cool
chamber where so many have slaked
their thirst Down at the base,
between the falling part and the
ledge, has been opened a bank of
beautiful white sand which has been
pronounced by judges to be superior
for making glass. The severed part
is ornamented by three pretty good
forest trees. The distance between
the road and the cliff is so small
that the rock win undoubtedly fail
across the road and 90 laundering
down the side of the mountain, car
rying with it trees and whatever
may be in its track. People are
still passing in front of it on foot,
and a few venturesome ones on
horseback. We fear somebody will
try this experiment just oEce too
many times. Sunday night about
ten o'clock, some thirty tons of rock
fell from the front of the moving
mass. 1t is still moving, though
less rapidly than heretofore. The
fall will be wonderful sighG, and
ages hence, people who see this
huge mass in the valley beneath,
will wonder what great upheaval
sent it to its resting place. Thus
Time the tomb builder" levels
mountains and fills up valleys, and
we doubt not that much that is as
scribed to wonderful connections in
nature is the result simply of the
.ceaseless working of the never idle
destroyer, Time.

Romance in Real Life.

The salary of the French Presi-
dent McMahon amounts in all to
2OO.OO0-$7s, 900 of which is to de-
fray the expenes of receptions, at
which his wife presides with much
grace and dignity. The way she
attained her present position is at
once romantic and singular. While
she was a school girl in the female
seminary at Limogen, France, fire
broke out and spread 50 rapidly
that the inmates could scarcely make
their escape. Suddenly there was
a cry that one little girl had been
left behind, and while the Mortified
spectators were shuddering over
her fate, a tail, pale girl. wit dis
heveled blonde hair and flowing
night dress, rushed through the
crowd crying, 81 will save her,
dashed into the doorway and bore
the child out safely in her arms in
the midst of cracking timbers and
falling masonry. For this brave
deed, King Louis PHILIPPE gave the
girl a gold medal, and a Captain OF
of the French army, who had wit
messed the heroic rescue, begged an
introduction. The Captain is now
President McMahon, and the brave
girl is his wife.

To Pay, not to Pav2

Unfortunately for those who in
dulge in ill-natured filings at the ad
vocates Estate credit they leave no
room for any other inference than
that they themselves are the advo-
Gates of unconditional or modified
repudiation. Did we advocate re
pudiation in any form, we should
insist that it be absolute and un-
conditional, because to repndiate
half the debt would insure the full
measure of dishonor and only half
the pecuniary profit of a clean
sweep. To save money at the cost
of honor viii have the same effect
upon the State which the same
course woud have upon an individ-
ual-loss of credit, followed by a
distrust fatal to future hope Of pc
cuniary assistance in the hour of
need.
It is not true, however, as charged,
that those who insist upon the pay
ment of the whole State debt con
tend that it can be done on a 40
cent tax, after meeting interest and
current expenses. Their position,
as we understand it, is that the
debt must be paid because tn St te
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1876-04-06

IN a pecuiary point of view what
do they expect To gain who are most
eager for repudiationg A very large
proportion Of our population pay
none bat a poll tax and they cant
repudiate because they can be sued
and forced to pay il. Those who
are worth 81, 900, or under, pay only
a poll tax, and can gain nothing by
repudiation except the distinguished
honor of having aided in swindling
the States creditors. And what
viii the substantial property hold
ers get as the price of their vote for
repudiation? The pitiful sum Of 40
cents on the hundred dollars, which
is the tax imposed by the State.
The burden of which they most
complain is imposed for counties,
towns and railroads-these they
can not shake Off by repudiaton be-
cause the courts can reach them and
enforce their payment
1t seems, then, that the thousands
who pay only a poll tax and those
whose property is tax free because
OF their thousand dollar exemption
can not make the traction Of cent
by repud alton, and therefore can
have no other inducement to vote
for it than a more than willingness
70 disgrace the State ''free gratis,
for nothing" And since the real
property holders can not make by
their vote for repudiat;on more
than the fortieth part OF one per cent.
on their entire property as assessed,
it is impertinent to ask whether this
pitiful saving Is an equivalent
weighed by their conseiences, for
their services in the population of
a debt of honor. If all concerned
will view the subject in the light of
facts and from the stand point of
OF plighted faith, we have no fears
that the State will be dishonored by
repudiation.-O Oarksvills ChrOniele.

peat the story to him a couple of
times, a couple of times to the boy
and once to himself When he had
finished he was so far exhausted as
to be unable to sit up.
A fendish smile stole across the
features of the husband as he said:
Young man I have hoped for this
moment. l have been haunted al
most to death by agents. The last
man that came along swindled me
out Of two dollars, and r then took
a terrible oath 1 would be revenged
upon the next man that attempted
to seduce me. Know, then, that 1
have induced these persons, who
have listened to your eloquence, to
come in, that l might turn your
own weapons against you. You
have talked yourself to death.
Thank Heaven, I .have succeeded
IN my revenge. You can live but a
few moments longer, but before you
die I pray you to repeat again that
well known story"
The agent braced himself up
against the side of the room, a glass
of water was given him and he be
gan;
"You see, L have a double duplex"
And he was dead.
The coroner was summoned, and
an inquest held, the jury returning
verdict that the deceased came to
his death by too much cIrcumlocu-
tion Of the jaw, and they conhibut-
ed their fees to the husband, and
caused diploma to be awarded him
as a testimonial of the good he had
done the public.

On one question, certainly, the
Chronicle and the Tribune are in
accord. We refer to the question
of the State debt. And we are glad
to see that not only the Chronicle
and the Tribune, but other leading
papers in Tennessee, are speaking
out manfully on the subject. We
note as being in this regard, the
Clarksville Chronicle and Tobacco
Leaf, the Pulaski Citizen, the Athens
Post, the Chattaooga Times and the
Commercial, the Columbia Herald
AID Mail, the Columbia Journal
and the Gallatin Examiner. There
are no doubt others, but those men
toned have recently attracted our
attention. The very idea that the
question of reputation, either par
tial or absoIute-anda as well one as
the other-should be seriously con
sidered in Tennessee, is repugnant
to the traditional tenets of Tonnes
seeans in regard to public honesty.
In due time we shall give some rea-
sons for the faith that is in Us.

Lager Beer does not IntOxicate.
BY JOSHUA BILLiNes, ESQ.

1 hav finally cum to the conclu-
sion that lager beer, as a beverage
is not Intoxicating.
1 have been told by a German
who said he had drunk il all mite
long, just to try the experiment,
and was obliged to go home entire
ly sober in the morning. I have
seen this same man drink eighteen
glasses, and if he was drunk he was
drunk in German and nobody could
understand it. 1t is proper enuff
to state that this man kept a lager
beer saloon, and could have no OBJ
ject in stating what was not strictly
thus.
I believe him to the full extent of
my ability. 1 never drank but
three glasses of lager in my life.
and that made my he'd ontwist as
tho it was hung on the end of a
string. but was told that it was
OWN to my bile bein out oy place,
and guess that it was so, for I
never billed over wus than I did
when I got hum that mite. Ny wife
thot [ was goin to die, and I was
afraid that l shouldn't, for it seem
ed as tho every thing 1 had ever
eaten in my life was cummun to the
surface; and 1 believe that if my
wife hadn't pulled off my boots just
as she did, they would have cum
thunderin up too.
Oh, how sick I wuz! IA years
ago and can taste it now.
I never had so much experience
in so short a time.
If any man shud tell me that
lager beer wuz not Intoxicating.
shud believe him; but if he shud
tell me that I wnzn't drunk that
night but my stummick was out of
order, I shud ask him to state over
a few words, jest how a man felt
and acted when he was set up.
If Iwarn't drunk that mite, had
sum ov the most natural symptums
that a man ever had and kept sober.
In the first place it was about so
rods from where I drank the lager
beer to mi house, and 1 wuz jest
two hours on the road, and had a
hole busted thro each one of my
pantaloon neez, and didn't hay any
hat, and tried to open the door by
the bell-pull and hiecupped awfully
and saw everything in the room
tryin to get round on the back side
ov me, and in settin down on a
chair, 1 did not wait long enuff for
it to git exactly under me when 1t
wuz goin round, and l set down
little too soon and missed the chair
about u inches, aud couldn't get up
soon enuff to take the next one that
come along; and that amt awl; my
wife sed I wuz drunk as a beest,
and as I sed before, begun to spin
up things freely.
If lager beer is not Intoxicating
it used me most almighty mean,
that I know.
Still, I hardly think that lager
beer is Intoxicating. for I hav been
told so; and l am probably the
only man livin who ever drank emmy
when his liver was not plumb.
I don't want to say ehnytbing
against harmless temperance bev-
erage, but if ever I drink emmy
more, it viii be with my hands tied
behind me, and my mouth priced
open.
I don't think lager beer is intoxi-
eating, but if I remember rite, /
think it tasted to me like a glass Of
soap suds that a pickle had been
put tew soak in.
