A HORN TOO HUGH.

We trust none of the members of our

by Saturday night practice to such a
FIT of enthusiasm as seized the victim Of

Of the mournful fate which Of late befel

Whose years, think, were some sixteen odd.

Rash youths from blowing an old brass horn.
He borrowed this horn on Saturday night.
IN play, quoth he, It'll the morning lfght1'
Quoth this young gentleman, tall tin, slim:
u II master this instrument if it takes limb,
With a musical talent I was born,
Ard m going to play on this sweet brass horn. :
The louder and wilder the horn he blew;
How sweet" he whispered; Il never knew
I'd soul FOR music like this before =
Ans The blast Of his trumpet swelled to a roar,
Then died away to wall forlorn
From the little end of the old brass horn.
The shuddering echoes bore tn esound
. :
Kind friends could hear it al forty rods.
This powerful music of Gabriel Gods;
But they stopped their ears and ran away
Whenever this horn began to play.
Day after day did the youth keepon;
"I'll blow" quoth Re It'll my breath is gone !!
The louder he blew the smaller he grew,
The more he played. the less he knew.
For as fast as the horrible sounds were born,
His wits few out at the end Of the horn.
You'd better be careful his mother said;
If you blow much harder you'll burst your
head
Then he gathered himself for mighty blast,
Not thinking, poor youth, it would be his last,
| And he blew himself out as broke Wednesday

At the little end of the old brass horn.

And his friends were glad at his obsequies.

THE STATE DEBT.

The House of Representatives last Fri.
day took up the Senate resolution to
appoint commissioners to visit New
York for the purpose of comforting with
the bond creditors of Tennessee as to q
compromise of the State debt After q
protracted discussion the following res
olution was adopted in lieu of the Sem
ate's resolution:
Resolved by the General Assembly of
the State of Tennessee, That the Gov
ernor be requested and directed to com,
municate, by kilograms or by letters,
with the gentlemen holding securitiee
of the State, mentioned in his message,
and with others holding bonds of the
State, and request them to submit at the
earliest day possible, through him, to
this General Assembly any proposition
or propositions of adjustment and COM
promise which they desire.
The resolution in lieu was coneurred
in by the Senate, and has probably been
already carried into effect by the Gov
ernor. May the result not diaappoint
public expectation.

20 the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
THE YOUNGSTOWN GAZETTE, of the
10th, came in to-day. Let me congratu-
late you and the people of Tennessee
irrespective of party in the election of
Governor Isham G. Harris rs Senator.
Last summer, at Mineral Hill, we talked
over his chances, and when you were
the first to put his name forward, our
Conservative friends were scared to
death at the very thought. But your
judgment was good and you deserve,
more than any one else, the thanks of
the genuine, true-blue Democrats of
Tennessee. have read nothing since
the war with as much genuine satisfac-
ton as the announcement of the election
of Governor Harris to the Senate, and 1
couldn't resist the inclination of telling
you So With best wishes,
Your friend truly,

Leisure Hours.

We have received the January mum
Der of Leisure Hours, a handsome nam
moth 16-page (64 columns) family paper
flied with the choicest literature-seria
and short stories, sketches, poetry, wit
humor, &C., &c. It is entertaining,
amusing and instructive, and is one OF
the cheapest papers-the amount and
quality of matter considered-that We
have. seen. The price is 81 90 per year,
including as premium a genuine fine
line steel engraving, called 1.-The NTH
erless BARN." printed on 22x28 plate pa
per, which tie publishers claim is supe-
rior in point of merit and attractiveness
to any premium ever offered by any 9TH
er paper in this country, and is alone
worth the money asked for both.
The publishers, s. L. Patten s. Co. !,
1872 William street, New York, author
thorize us to say, that in order TO intro
duce the paper in this vicinity they
make a special offer to every one of our
readers to send them paper-a "trial
trip" of four months, postpaid, COM
mencing with the January number-for
25 cents.
Our readers who avail themselves of
this offer will, we feel certain, thank us
for having called our attention to it.
The publishers of LEISURE HOURS would
like to employ some one in every place
to canvass for that paper.

Random Thoughts.

WHITEsBURG, Tenn, Jan. %.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
Not by moon shine, but by open day
light I have in my possession, and now
on exhibition in my store, aged relics,
upon the surface of which have gather
ed the rust and dust of more than ten
decades of winters. One is an old, an
tique potrack, which was used in the
family of Nicholas Conner, of Virginia,
before the Revolutionary war, off of
which was cut iron to make two horse
shoes, during that war. Iron was very
scarce, in those days, and the old pot
rack had 20 contribute to the necessities
of those who had to endure the hard
ships of the birth-struggle of American
liberty. The other relic is piece of
cotton dress goods, made by hand, SEEM
ingly, white and blue striped, the white
predominating, slightly resembling the
STYLES Of our time. The ancient fabric
bears no signs of frills, tucks, or of hav-
ing been pinned back. Doubtless, plain
and simple economy Feigned in the house
where this piece OF goods was made and
worn. j. ., u,

wise and just that we should regard
him as the enemy of the Republic
who weighed it in the scales Of party.
We believe that in FLORIDA and Louis
lana the Tilden candidates were hon.
estly elected, and that the Electoral
vote of those States will be counted
for Tilden. But we are ready and
willing to leave this and every cog
nate question to the Commission, and
if they decide against US we shall
accept their decision as final. An
adverse decision, however, can hard
ly be given. if the Democratic case is
thoroughly prepared and carefully
presented. What the country re-
CURED was peaceful settlement OF
the Electoral question, and that is
assured by the action of the Joint
Committee. Foolish threats of arm
ed Intervention and of installation by
force will be heard no more, or if heard
will pass UNDECIDED. The new Pres.
ident, declared elected according to
the strictest provisions of the law,
will be free from embarrassment.
Whether Hayes or Tilden, he will
everywhere be-accepted as the Con-
stitutional President. The country,
in a few weeks, will be at rest, so far
as National politics are concerned ;
and we are confident that the broad
principles of right and justice which
underlie the action of the Joint Com.
mittee and govern the settlement of
the Presidential question will, in one
form or another, be applied to South
Carolina. The words and works of
Joint Committee justify our faith in
the sober secoud thought of the po-
litical leaders of the National par
ties. The period Of reckless parti.
sanship is fast passing away; the
power of the Mortons and Bount-
wells is on the wane.

We, the undersigned, would respect
fully present to the people OF Morris
town, our patrons especially, and the
public generally, the following: After
carefully weighing the opinions and &C.
tions of the best business men i'm the
country, coupled with our own observa-
ton and experience, we have reluctant
ly yet cheerfuliy determined to do away
with the whole credit system, and sell az
we buy--for cash. We do this reluct-
antly, knowing that il will cause consid.
cradle Inconvenience and trouble Rt first,
and yet cheerfully, because we shall be
enabled to put our goods down to q
point that it was impossible for us to
reach cohen selling on long, or even short,
credit. We shall at all times keep a
market open for every class OF saleable
produce, for which we shall PAY CASH
We are satisfied that this course will
result in good to ourselves and our pat
rons. 1t is apparent to any one who will
consider the matter that il is impossible
to buy goods for cash, taking the extra
expense of books and collections, the
Misunderstanding and mistakes atteRd-
ing long running accounts, and sell to as
good advantage as for cash in hand.
Quick sales and small profits, fair deal
ing, and reasonable appreciation of our
desire to serve the public, Ia all that we
ask.
In consideration of these facts, notice
is hereby given that on and after the 1st
day of March, 1877, we shall sell for
CASH!. All parties owing us, or the
old firm of Brown, CrowellG Co, whose
accounts we assume, will please make
arrangements to close their accounts,
and will say that in payment for same
the highest market price viii be allowed
for any kind of saleable produce.
Respectfully,
BROWN & WELLS.

THE RUIN OF WALL STREET.

THE RUIN OF WALL STREET.
A scheme, says the New York Sun.
has been got up for the ruin Of Wall
Street. and an attempt will be made
to put it in practice. Everybody is
aware that a great part of the bust
ness down there is crooked; so
crooked that, if it were tried by the
straight line Of rectitude, and laid
open to the inspection Of mankind,
it would be pronounced intolerable,
and the guilty parties would be
plunged into bankruptcy. The OPP
erations to which we refer are con-
Quoted in defiance of the laws Of
truth, and in contempt of the prin-
ciples Of honor, integrity. and faith
between man and man. Those who
conduct them deal unjustly with their
customers. misrepresent their wares,
hold back facts which ought TO be
known, deal in Actions at fancy pri-
ces, buy and sell while they own
nothing, and in numberless other
ways mislead and rob the unwary or
simple minded. Wall Street has
bad name. though there are men of
honor in it; and stockjobbery has al
most become a word of reproach,
though there are sound principles
by which it ought to be guided.
There are plenty men in Wall Street
who call themselves Christians. and
go to church every Sunday; but
those who follow out the principles
of the religion they profess are very
much less numerous.
Well, the assault that is to be
made upon the deviltry of Wall
Street will be begun by the estab-
lishment of a daily noon prayer
meeting down there in the Mining
and Stock Exchange. A number of
so-called Christians, who, we hope,
are true Christians, including bank
ers, business men, clergymen. and
reformers, have devised this method
of action, and have determined to
put it in operation at once. Some
of them may be personal victims of
Wall Street; some may feel sore
over their losses there; some may
themselves have been among the
wrongdoers but all of them are to
join hands in trying to bring about
a better state of things in that quar-
ter. through prayer and pious medi-
tation.
The brokers will, Of course, be
anxious to attend these daily prayer
meetings, and we shall expect to see
many OF them engaged in praying
to be kept from temptation and
evil, and asking their brethren to
sustain them in their resistance to
the powers of deviltry. Twelve
o'clock is busy hour with some OF
Of them but these are dull times,
and many hundreds of them can
easily take an hour from their offices
every day.
There is no doubt that many of
Them will De ruined in business, if,
after attending the prayer meetings,
hey apply the principles Of religion
% it. The demands of religion
We mean any religion worthy OF the
mems lives and prac.
ice are very severe but it is better
o lose even money than to be cast
ntO hell.

A TOURIST ON EAST TENNESSEE
An editorial correspondent of the
New Jersey Daily Times, writing
from Knoxville, concludes as follows:
The air Of East Tennessee is celebrat-
ed for its purity-the men of this section
being generally the taliest and the best
looking in the Union. If any Of our
readers need rest, comfort and a good,
mild, bracing climate, advise them to
go, not to Florida, but to Knoxville.
He also added the following per-
sonal:
I also called on Mr.. Chas NJ. McGhee.
He is Vice-President and General Super
intendent of the railroad between Bris
toll, Va, and Memphis, Tenn, a distance
of about 600 miles, and is also President
of the Peoples Bank of this city. He is
cOnsider one of the very best and
shreWdest business men in the South.
He treated me passably well, but | was
not much flattered at my reception.
TlIis proceed to account for, on two
grounds-1st, as l was an editor, he
probably thought intended to ask him
for free pass, and he did not want to
be cordial. But he was mistaken, as l
do not ask such favors of any one. I'd,
when last met him it was just about
thirteen years ago, at his residence on
the banks of the Little Tennessee river,

INTERESTING RAILROAD CASES

INTERESTING RAILROAD CASES
In suits recently tried in Mem.
phis. the Paducah Railroad Company
was awarded a verdict against Tip
ton county for 100000 worth OF
bonds, subscribed by it to the rail-
road. The counsel for the defend
ant entered a motion for a new trial,
which has been refused by Judge
Emmons, of the United States Cir
cult Court. The case will likely be
appealed to the Supreme Court, as
also that of the Memphis and Little
Rock Railroad Company against w.
J. Smith, in which the defendant
was given judgment for $4,139. so
for iron taken from him on a writ of
replevin by the plaintiff.
