T The need of the Democr

II The need of the Democratic
party in the United States just now
is great leader; some man Ct cour-
age and brains, capable of giving di-
rections to the millions of voters
who are anxious for reform in our
Government. These millions won
a splendid victory at the polls last
fall, and the fruits Of it were stolen
from them in Congress because they
had no man there with sense and
pluck sufficient to meet the emer.
gency. An army OF goats led by
lion is more effective than an army
of lions led by an ass.

Burning of the Knoxville Paper
Mills.

We regret to learn from the Knoxville
papers, that the Middlebrook Paper
Mills, three miles from that city were des-
troyed by fire Sunday morning, 10Th
instant. The greater part of the Ma
chinery was saved. The loss is estimat-
ed at $14, 900 on which there is insur-
ance to the amount of $4,000 The
and DR., VIM. Morrow. a considerable
amount or raw stock was consumed,
including one hundred and fifty thousand
pounds of rags. Nopaper was burned for
tunately, the supply on hand having been
removed and stored in the warehouse
in Knoxville. About four years ago the
mills We're destroyed by fire, and had
been rebuilt in the most substantial
manner, and refurnished throughout
with the latest improved machinery, at
a heavy outlay, only to meet the same
fate. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion, as
the engines were run by water power,
and the season precluded the necessity
for fire in the stoves The damage will
doubtless be speedily repaired and the
mills kept going. Quite a number of
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia news
papers were supplied from these mills.
The large stock of paper on hand will
DO doubt enable Mr.. Rayl to supply all
customers until the machinery at the
mills is set going again. The Ig5uae of
~ i
the fire have already been satisfactorily
adjusted and the proprietors, with char
acterlstic enterprise, win proceed to re
build the burnt portion Immediately.
For that purpose force OF workmen
have been engaged and will commence
operations to-day. We are assured that
the mill will be put in running order

EAST TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY.
Now that the war Of words about
this Institution is over, or at least
we hope so, it should be the aim of
the Faculty, the Trustees, the citi-
zens of Knoxville, the members Of
the Legislature who appoint State
students, and the teachers Of boys
high schools to do everything in their
power to make it a first-ela insti-
tuition Of learning. Let students be
appointed as cadets who have been
distinguished for application and in-
telligence in the high school of their
own counties. By this method the
regular college classes would soon
be filed with young men of first
class morals and minds.

A Valuable Patent Churn!

Theo. A Salvo having purchased the
right to manufacture the HATFIELD
CHURN, gives the following reasons
why it should supercede all other churns:
Its simplicity of construction, its dura.

churning, and for its cleanliness it COM

A Knoxville contemporary publishes
a cure for drinking the ardent, /" which,
it is asserted with the utmost confidence,
will effectually destroy thirst or desire
on the part of the most inebriated for
other beverage. The remedy is simple,
and is merely for the person to take a
drink of cold water every time he has a
desire for drink of grog." If that sug-
gestion should, from any understandable
cause, be acted upon all at once in our
sister city betwixt the creeks, il would
not only render the water powers on
these beautiful streams utterly Yalueless,
but do away the use for ferry boats and
bridges across the lordly Tennessee, and
forever guarantee Chattanooga against
the perils of inundation. All the water
within reach wouldn't last, on such an
occasion, from 90 morn till dewy eve."
