Parson Brownlow, Tennessee's ia
NOUS Parson, Governor, Senator and
| journalist, died at his home in Knox
willie, East Tennessee, of long and
| painful illness, ON Sunday the 10th
ultimo, in the I'D year Of his age.
He was born in Virginia, left an
orphan at II, learned.the carpenters
trade, became . Methodist minister at
q, went into politics and religion
jointly at %, supporting Adams
against jackson and in 1887, at the
age Of 80, became the editor Of the
Knoxville WAig with which paper he
continued identified until the day
| of his death.
Owing to his unfinching loyalty
he received brutal treatment ct the
hands Of the rebels in 1862 being
thrown into vile dungeons and other
wise 10 villainously maltreated that
he became and remained an invalid
to the day Of his death.
At the collapse Of the rebellion, in
1886, he was elected Governor by the
Republicans, and reelected again in
1857, and in 1869. was elected United
States Senator, serving until 1875,

Wig and Chronicle.
Brownlow was An editorial writer
Of much ability and force, and ac-
quired the worldwide s06riqMet Of
the Fighting PArson," because he
was always as ready to fight as he
was to preach, for his principles.

ers In power in Tennessee, has per-
manently eclipsed the light Of Union

THE DELTA CUTOFF.

The current of the Mississippi will
pie of Delta were very much concerns
ed to get a cutoff opposite Nicksburg,
and some unwise people there sought
to make the cutoff in advance of Old
NIuddy's plans. At the time, the TEL
EGRAPR warned Delta that it would
be wiser to keep the river chained
where it was. Subsequently, the cut
off came, as we apprehended, and the
results are disastrous to both Vicks-
burg and Delta, and from the same
cause, to-wit: the river is leaving
Nicksburg, and has encroached on Del
ia, since the 22nd of March, a distance
of 695 feet, by actual measurement,
and in the same proportion along the
bank above Delta for the distance of
one mile. What will follow in one or
two more seasons, Mr.. T. G. Dabney,
n competent civil engineer of Viclzs-
burg, predicts, will be that ssthe river
will wash the foot of the hills several
miles below Nicksburg, and the Delta
peninsula will be evolved, or dissolved
into very thin mud" unless, according
to his suggestion, the danger is averted
by the construction of jetties to pre-
vent further washing and caving.- The
w., S. & T. railroad has no small inter
est in this matter, about which Major
Green, it is said, is anxiously concern

Cows and Milk.

The art of feeding our cows so as
to produce the greatest quantity and
the best quality of milk is neither
understood nor practlced generally.
An experienced writer, who says
that one good cow gives all the milk
that is needed in family of eight
persons, and from which cow was
made two hundred and sixty pounds
of butter last year, gives the follow
ing as his treatment. He says
If you desire to get large yield
of rich milk, give your COW every
day water slightly warm, slightly
sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate of quart to two
gallons of water. You will find, If
you have not tried this daily prac-
tice, that your cow will give TWEEN
ty-five per cent more milk inlmedi-
ately, under the effects of it, and
she will become so attached to the
diet as to refuse to drink clear wa
ter unless very thirsty, but this mess
she will drink almost any time, and
ask for more. The amount of the
drink necessary is an ordinary
water pail full each time, morning,
noon and night.

Duties of a Mother.

She should be firm, gentle, kind,
always ready to attend to her child
She should never laugh at him-at
what he does that is cunning-never
allow him to think of his looks, ex
cept to be neat and clean ia habits.
She should teach him to obey a
look-to respect those older than
himself, she should never make a
command without seeing that it is
performed in the right manner.
Never speak of the child's faults OF
follies or repeat his remarks before
him. 1t is true way to spoil a
child. Never reprove child when
you are excited, nor let your tone
of voice be raised when correcting.
Strive to inspire love. not dread
respect not fear. Remember you
are training and cultivating and ed
ucating a soul for eternity. Teach
your children to wait upon them
selves, to put away thing when
done with it,. But do not forget
that you were once a child.
