AphOriSnS.

|, The universe is nothing except
through life, and everything which lives
nourishes itself.
.. Animals feed; man eats; u man oil
wit and breeding alone knows how to eat.
$. The destiny Of nations depends on
the way in which they nourish them
selves.
4. Tell me what you eat and | will tell
YOU what you are.
5, The Creator in obliging man to eat
in order that he may live, invites him
bv appetite and rewards him by pleasure.
6. Taste is an act Of our judgement, by
which We accord the preference to things
which are palatablc over those which are
not.
:. The pleasures OF the table are Tor
all ages, all conditions, all countries, and
all days; they can associate themselves
with all other pleasures, and remain TO
console us for their loss.
S. The dining.room is the only place
where you are never bored during tue
first hour.
0. The discovery Of new dish does
more for the happiness Of the human race
than the discovery OF n new constellation.
10. Those who get an indigestion, and
those who get drunk, know neither how
to cat nor how 10 drink.
II. The order Of edibles is from the
more substantial TO the lighter.
u. The order Of drinks is from the
lighter to the more heady and more per-
TUNED.
Is. To assert that there should be no
change OF wines at dinner is n heresy;
the tongue surfeits itself; and, after the
thitd glass, tho best wine produces but \
dull sensation.
IA. A dessert without cheese is even rs
u lair woman who lacketh an eye.
10. a man may become cook, but he
must be born u rooster,

u cook is punctuality; the same quality
is required Of guest.
II. To wait too long for guest who il

rmmirrntion 20 Tennessoe

Commissioner Killebrew's report
of the number of immigrants COM
ing into this State during the month
of November shows an increase of
over 60 per cent. over the number
reported for October. His CORE
spondence has also been much
larger, which indicates an increas-
ing interest in the subject of immi-
grafton to Tennessee. The longer
such interest is followed up, and the
more people from the North inves-
tigate the relative advantages of
different sections of the South, the
more they become convinced that
Tennessee, all things considered, has
many advantages over the Gulf
States.
The Commissioner report shows
that the number coming here during
November is 234, from eleven differ
ent States, as follows:
From Ohio, 72; Indiana, b3; Mich
igan, 3S; Wisconsin, 20; Minnesota,
IS; Maryland, s; New York, 81;
Iowa, 9; Illinois, 0; Pennsylvania, 8;
Kentucky, 8. OF these, IL families
have gone to Warren county, 6 to
Dickson, 3 to Humphreys, 2 to Law
renee, 2 to BlOunt, 3 to Coffee, to
Davidson, to Scott, 1 to Lincoln, 2
to Rutherford, and 2 to Benton.
The interest is spreading so wide-
ly and so many are going direct TO
settlements where their friends have
gone before them, that but little
over one-third of those brought
down directly through the influence
of the Bureau of Agriculture, Sta
tistics and Mines report their arriv-
al. Arrangements are being made,
as far as possible, to have reports
sent in from all parts of the State,
so that something like a full report
can be made. Commissioner Kille-
brew is confident that at least 500
immigrants have come To Tennessee
within the past month. His cOrre-
spondence shows that over $50 let
ters were answered in November.
He has perfected arrangements with
all of the railroads leading into Ten
nessee, by which immigrants or per-
sons prospecting for homes may OBJ
tain half fare rates. In order that
no persons may apply who do not
come under this head, he requests
the American to state that no GER
tificates for half fare will be issued to
persons of this kind.-NdshUilie

The carpct.barWer.

Since Patterson and Conover, car
pet-baggers, voted to place Butler, Of
South Carolina, in the seat 10 which
he was honestly elected, members
of the Republican party have been
down upon them and on carpet
baggers in general. The New York
Nation, though Republican journ-
al, holds up this inconsistency TO
merited contempt, as follows:
Last year, during the canvass,
when the carpet-bagger was at his
worst, and was bringing all his arts
into play to secure the Presidency,
and when the whole Cabinet was In
league with the scOundrel and the
army was at his beck and call, and
when Messrs. Sherman and Slough
ton and others went down 10 conceal
him from public view while he was
the returns I'm New Or
leans, not one of these journals had
a word to say against him. Nay,
they talked as IL the keeping Of this
evil beast i'm power by any means,
fair or foul, was necessary to the sal
walton Of the American Union.
They whitewashed him, apologized
for him, circulated his lies, pretend
ed TO be moved by his grOans and tu
be amazed by his fortitude. and
even blackguarded the courts which
TO lend them their writs.
Now, however, when, in order 20
escape the police, RESERVES the great
party as he has served everybody
else, and deserts II on the death-bed
TO which his frauds and thefts and
and debauchery have large
ly helped TO bring II, they are
amazed that anybody should ever
have trusted him or seen any good
in him. This pious perspicacity dis
played even five years ago might
have done much to save the Repub-

A Negro on Democratic Rule

The Washington Peoples Advo-
cafe contains a letter from a negro
of Raleigh North Carolina who de-
clares that the outlook for the negro
in that State is brighter to-day tf.an
it has ever been before. He says
that with the advent of Democracy
into power he was prepared to be-
lieve that he would not only lose
the educational privileges which
he enjoyed; but that he would be
shorn of his citizenship and reduced
to a condition Of vassalage. His
fears have been expelled, however,
through the unexpected policy in
augurated by this party of terrors.
The whites, far from giving evil
dence of any design against his lib
critics, evince an earnest desire to
promote his welfare aud elevate
him to a higher plane of citizenship.
Gov. Vance had scarcely filled the
chair of the Chief Executive four
months, before he invited a confer
ence of the leading colored men of
the State, to determine through
them the MOST advantageous point
for locating a Normal school for
the training Of colored teachers.
Through his influence the Legisla-
ture appropriated 81, ,500per annum,
for two years, to maintain such a
a school.
