A Boys Composition on Babies

There are four or FIVE different
kinds of babies there is the big ba-
by, the little baby. the white baby
and the poodle dog, and there IS
the baby elephant.
Most of these babies was born in
a clearinghouse. 'cept the baby
elephant I think he was born on a
railroad train, cause he aIlus car
ries his trunk with him.
A white baby is pootier nor a
elephant baby, but he can't eat so
much hay.
All the babies what I have ever
seen were born very young, special
ly the gal babies, and they can't
none of them talk the United States
language.
My father had-I mean my moth.
er had a baby once. It was not an
elephant baby; it coined one day
when there was nobody home; it
was funny looking fellow, just like
a lobster.
asked my father was it boy or
girl and he say he don't know
whether he was father or a moth
er.
This little baby has got two legs.
just like monkey.
His name is Marian.
He don't look like my father nor
my mother, but he looks just like
my Uncle Tom, cause the little ba-
by amt got no hair on his head.
One day asked my Uncle Tom
what was the reason he amt got no
hair and the little baby amt got no
hair. He says he don't know. 'cept
that the little baby was born SO,
and he was a married man.
One day I pulled feather out of
the old ROSTERS tail and stuck it
up the baby's nose, and it tickled
him so he almost died. It was only
little bit of feather, and L don't
know what he wanted to make such
a fuss for. My mother said Iought'er
be ashamed of myself, and did't
get no bread on my butter for MORN
O week.
I think I'd rather be a girl nor a
boy, cause when girl gets whip
ping she gets it on her fingers, but
when boy gets licking he gets it
all over.
I don't like babies very much any,
how. cause they make so much noise.
never knew but one quiet baby and
he died.

There was very spunky old lady
who visited the White House recent
ly. Her name was Flood. the wife
of Gen. Charles Flood. an old news
paper man in Columbus. Mrs.
Flood is brisk looking old lady,

manners. She has been here sight
seeing for several days. Yester-
day she visited the White House.

About Beautiful Women

How eagerly men are engaged in
the pursuit of beautiful women, and
how little do they dream of its brief
existence This is undoubtedly in
obedience to a supreme law growing
out of our organization, for who does
not love order, harmony, symmetry,
and perfection in all thing 8? But
in this eager pursuit, it would be
we'll to remember that there are
qualities Of far more Importance than
mere personal charms. True, we
may be fascinated with dark. lns-
trous, and beautiful eye, the Grim
son blush of the cheek, q graceful,
symmetrical form; but. after all, the
inquiry should be: Is there soul
within? Is there elevation of
thought, generous principles, noble
purposes, cultivated intellect? II
not, what else would a woman of
beautiful personal . appearance be
but as doll or gilded toy? How
long could a man OF genius be in
duced to worship at such q shrine ?
How long before his affections would
assume the form of hatred or con-
tempt? Powerful passions and
strong affection invariably accompa-
ny the man Of genius. Hence IL is
clear that unless personal charms
envelop q cultivated mind as well
as the sterling qualities Of virtue,
the noblest impulses of affection in
such man will soon be extinguished
and his fondest hopes blasted in the
selection of partner for life. Moth
ing is more desirable to man of
genius, in this life, than the ardent
affections of a good sensible woman
and, on the other hand, no offering
on earth is so acceptable to a wo-
man as the sincerest affection of a
man of genius and truth.

A Big Thing for Knoxville.
Knoxville Tribune.


The superiority of The Cranberry
iron ore, which is found near the
Carter county and North Carolina
line, is we'll known to all iron men.
For making steel, no equal to it is
to be found in this country. Only
its accessibility has prevented it
from long since acquiring a still bet
ter reputation by a more gen.
eral practical use, for the sup
ply may be said to be inexhaustible.
A few years ago, Gen. Pardee, of
Philadelphia, a very wealthy gen.
tIeman and largely interested in the
manufacture of iron in the State of
Pennsylvania, purchased what is
known as the Cranberry Iron Pre-.
perty.'' being impressed with the
undoubted superiority Of the ore in
that region. With view of obtain
ing convenient access to the proper
ty, Gen. P. and his associates be-
came the purchasers of the graded
railway line running East from John
son City, on the line of the East
Tennessee, Virginia C Georgia road.
About thirteen miles OF grading yet
remain to be done to complete the
line to the Cranberry property.
The proprietors have not moved in
the matter of opening up this line of
communication with their property
at an earlier day, because of the
general depression prevailing
throughout the country, but we are
glad to learn from Gen. Pardee, who
was in our city yesterday, that he
will at once put an engineer in the
field to definitely locate the entire
road to the ore beds. and that he
expects to enter actively upon its
construction without delay.
Gen. Pardee is satisfied that
Knoxville is to be the point at
which the steel-producing ores are
to meet the coke, and that it is to
become place of great mannfactur.
ing Importance. His Investigations
and observations were entirely sat
isfactory. and he has gone home to
perfect his arrangements for an ear
ly development of the Cranberry ore
beds. He is no fancy capitalist,
but is one of the substantial men of
Philadelphia. having ample means
to communicate the important work
he has undertaken.

Key.
Bristol News.

A good many criticisms have been
INDUCED by the Southern press
touching the little impromptu speech.
es made by Hon. D. nj. Key, the
Postmaster-General. The fact seems
that the President, who is q
good humored man. has, in company
with several members of his Cabinet,
been making a sort of holiday tour
through New England, and at vari-
GUS stations the distinguished Wis.
itors have been called on for speech
es. The President seems to delight,
in humorous way, to exhibit Col.
Key as a live rebel. who, like Jo-
seph, has been made one of the ru-
lers of the nation he so earne silly
antagonized at one time, and he To-
ses no opportunity to indulge his
wit upon him by alluding to him as
one of bis "erring brethren" who
had once been guilty of the error of
fighting the government, and sub.
sequently of the error of voting
against him, the President. Of
course, Col. Key replies in a jocu-
lar vein, and, of course, he humors
the joke. The cold print in which
his speeches are quoted cannot do
justice to the humor Of the occasion,
and Col. Key has suffered somewhat
in the public estimation in conse-
quence.
The fact is, Hayes has taken a
very bold, and Withal, manly step.
in putting real rebel and Tilden
and Hendricks voter in his Cabinet.
He has disregarded the yells and
hootings of the extreme men who
voted for himself, aud treats the
northern passion in the very best
way to insure it's subsidence. He
simply laughs at it and tells the IT,
gers to wait.
Col. Key, while being exhibited
as live-caught Southern catamount,
falls into the Presidents happy way
of joking over it, and the New Eng
land people take a laugh all around.
This is all we think there is of it,
and so we ask our friends to let up
Key until he is found guilty of un-
manly conduct, in which case it will
he time eno1oh then TO melt him

Unfortunate Condition of
Society.

Society is in an unhealthy condi-
tion when q man marries q woman
who has to support him. The Phil
adelphia Public Ledger expresses
some sensible views upon this sub
ject. The case of the marriage of
the Marquis de Caux to Adelina
Patti, for illustration. The Marquis
has lived for years upon his wife's
earnings. and it proved to be an un-
happy alliance. The parties have
recently been divorced, and the
Marquis is entitled, according to the
decision of French court, to one
hal: of PATHS earnings. It is not
always the case that operate maria.
ges are unhappy, as the marriages
OF Jenny Lind and Parepa will at
test but their husbands worked hard
in their avocations as musicians,
and were really entitled to share the
profits and successes of their wives.
1t is indeed unfortunate when any
man has to be supported by his wife.
Although q man may be disabled by
accident or disease. it seems wrong
and burdensome to impose upon a
woman the paying Of bills in addi-
tion to the family cares which she
already has. There are more cases
ting world is aware of. We mean
that the burden OF bralnwork as we'll
as all the household cares that
American women are subjected to
are not heard of until after their
death. There is no doubt but that
the partnership which the wedding
ring implies, the work of mother and
housekeeper fully balances any wa
ges that are brought in. In Eng
land the mechanic gives his wife all
his earnings to keep, but in America
it is quite different. There are, we
regret to say. great many instan
ees in our country where vigorous
and robust men are entirely supper,
tee by their wives. This state of
society deserves severe condemna.
ton. and if it was universally frown-
ed upon, there is no doubt but that
a reformation would be affected in a
short time. How brave, stout
man can expect frail and delicate
woman to support him. is question
that we confess we are entirely una
BILE to assign any cogent reason

At times an expansion Of the circu-

legal-tender notes, convertible at
any time into an interest-baaring
stock of the united States stock
for which the holder could get cur
rency, with accrued interest. when
ever he should desire, at q rate Of
interest no higher than 8 65 per
cent. The desired amount OF circu-
lation would be absorbed when not
used for commercial purposes, and
bonds would be converted when tho
business of the country required d

currency would soon be on d par
with gold. and it would be the pa
