A New Invention.

Mr.. Edward S. Jones, of this
city, is the inventor of a railroad
brake which he has very appropri-
ately termed Jones Safety Brake.
The application of the brake is
either by steam or hand power.
The principle is the screw pressure,
which pressure is acknowledged by
mechanics as the greatest of all
powers. When applied by steam it is
of course immense. A leading fea-
ture of the brake is that the power is
applied TO the wheel just above the
axle box, instead of below, as is the
case with all other brakes. Again,
another great advantage of the
brake being applied above the axle,
is that it insures safety in checking
the speed of train in cases of ac-
cident where the sooner the cars
are stopped the better. The pres
sure being applied above the axle
of course has a tendency to hold
the cars on the track. The inven-
ton is great one, and is destined
to be adopted by every railroad in
the world. and we congratulate the
inventor upon this achievement.

Both houses of the Tennessee
Legislature passed suitable resolu-
tions in memory ofthe lateCornelius
Vanderbilt, which was very proper
in view of his liberal benefaetion to
the State and to the entire South.
Many eulogies were spoken in the
House but we have space only for
the remarks OF Mr.. Taliaferro, who
said: I'm common with you all /
bow my head in sorrow at the sad
intelligence Of the death of this dis
tinguished man. He began his ear
ly life poor and without friends, and
seemed to have had but one aim and
that was the acquisition Of wealth.
When he had reached the meridian
of life, having attained the goal of
his ambition, he began distributing
upon the right and left his munifi-
cence. With one stroke of the hand
he rubbed out all the party lines and
party distinctions and with that
hand of munificence placed to the
benefit of the children of Tennessee
and the entir6 South the sum of one
million dollars. We see no statues
erected in memory of Commodore
Vanderbilt, but there are monuments
such as stand in the vicinity of
Nashville, which will live for gener-
ations to come. Imost heartily en-
dorse the resolutions and agree that
Tennessee has done no more honor
to Commodore Vanderbilt to day
than she has done to herself"
The resolutions were then unani-
mously adopted by rising vote.

Our young friend Mr.. y. M. Baker

hope that he will not indulge in
any of the vices that characterize the
American gentlemen of the period.

Who are His Heirs.


We have letter from John NJ
Logan, Attorney, Tyler, Smith
county, Texas, inquiring for infor-
nation concerning the heirs of one
Charles White, who emigrated from
Giles county to Texas about the
year 1885. The letter says he lived
a single life, and died without heirs
to a vast landed estate. Very little
is known of him except that he was
from Giles, and that he came by
boat from Nashville. We would be
glad to find his heirs, and to give
our correspondent all the informa-
ton possible concerning him.

A Great National Work.

The Illustrated History of the Gen.
teDnial Exhibition, with a full descrip-
ton of the Great Buildings and ell the
objects of interest Exhibition in them
BY James ID. McCabe, author of "The
Centennial History of the United States,
Etc. Embellished with over 300 fine
| engravings of buildings and scenes In
the Great Exhibition.
The National Publishing Co. of Phil
adelphia and st. Louis, have issued a
handsome volume bearing the above IT,
tie. The intense interest everywhere
manifested in the great Exhibition, and
the desire to obtain a complete and con-
nected account of it, will unquestiona-
bly, cause this book to have an extensive
sale.
This History of the Centennial Exhi-
bition is not dry list of the articles
exhibited. 1t is a superb volume of S74
pages, from the pen of one of the most
popular authors of the day. Mr..
McCabe received the constant and SYM
pathetic assistance of the Centennial au-
thorities, and enjoyed peculiar advanta-
ges in the preparation of this work. He
went, notebook in hand, through every
department of the Exhibition, and the
result of his labors is work Astounding
in brilliant descriptions of the great
Worlds Fair. He traces the history of
the great enterprise from its inception
to its triumphant closing day. He then
takes us through every part of the Ex-
hibition grounds, giving brilliant ac-
counts of every building and other fea-
ture of interest within them. We are
taken through the Main Building, Ma
chinery Hall, the Agricultural and Hor-
ticultural Halls, at the Art Gallery, the
Government Building, and all the 9TH
ar structures, and our deepest attention
is held all the time by the descriptions
of the rare and beautiful objects con-
tanned in them.
The book is written with a vigor and
brilliancy which render it a complete
and life-like picture of the great Worlds
Fair, and which make it invaluable to
all classes of our people. To those who
have visited the Exhibition 1t will be a
pleasing souvenir of their visit, and en-
ale them to recall the magnificent
scenes they have witnessed. To those
who could not make the journey, the
book is a necessity, for 1t will enable
then to enjoy the delights of thorough
acquaintance with the great Exhibit
ton in the quietude OF their own homes.
There is not another book in print
which gives one-fourth Of the informa-
ton contained in this work. IL is sd
perbly illustrated, and the price is 30
low that all can afford to secure a COPY.
The Book Is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents n
every county.

Mr.. Cannon, of the shoe store
was afraid the snow would cave in
his roof and he wanted to get it of
without going ur there in the cold
wind with a shovel. He therefore
built a large fire under one of the
cutters upon Il 81 gutter rock and
commenced to melt the snow off the
roof. The house is three stories
high, wood is still higher, the snow
about a foot thick on the roof and
the pipe full of ice so that it would
not drawn well, and before he got
more than two inches of ice melted
out of the gutter the rock bu-sted.
There was 81 worth of rock and 81
worth of wood gone, and the snow
and ice still there. If it had worked
well, Mr.. Cannon would have taken
out letters patent, doubtless. The
boys try to make joke out of it,
but there is nothing more serious
and solemn to our mind than when
a man makes failure in some pro-
ject that has perhaps cost him many
sleepless nights and much perplex-
ity to invent.

Economy the watchword.

EDITOR CITIZEN For the last
two or three years there has been
one universal cry all over the LAND
for economy in the administration
of the Government, National, State
County and Municipal, and espe
cially has this cry been sounded
over the hills and valleys of Ten
nessee, and l presume no sensible
right thinking man will say that
there is not just cause for this uni
versal demand of the people, if he
viii. calmly look at the wide spread
official corruption and venal legis-
lation, wherever he may turn his
eyes, "from the rising of the sun to
the going down thereof"
"Retrenchment and Reform" were
the watchwords Of the Democratic
party in its late heroic struggle to
wrest the affairs of liberty from the
grasp of the most corrupt party
chat ever disgraced this, or any
other country, and no doubt it was
this universal demand of the people
for return to honest economical
government that gave that party
the victory that crowned their eff
forts.
Now it will be remembered that
the last Legislature of Tennessee,
in accordance with this popular de
mand of the people, sought out
every way possible to retrench the
expenses of the State government,
and among other measures for this
purpose, passed bill which duly be-
came the law of the State, abolishing
the Office of tax collector, transfer
ring the duties of his Office to the
trustee of the county, thereby say
ing a very considerable expense,
in the aggregate, to the State.
The spirit and design of this law is
to economIze to curtail the eX
penses of the State government.
Notwithstanding the plain intent Of
the law, our County Court, at its
Quarterly session on first Monday
of this month, voted one thousand
dollars to be allowed the Trustee
for the employment of clerk to aid
him in the collection of the taxes
although he had the candor to state
to the court that he did not expect
to employ a clerk only occasionally.
The court, with commendable zeal
for the public welfare, reduced all
other drains upon the county treas
ury, reducing very materially the
pay of the overseers of the county
work house, abolished the Office of
County Attorney, or, at least, de-
cided not to elect one, and reduced
the salary of Superintendent of
schools to $300i Most wonderful
economyl In my judgment, it is
very like saving at the spigot and
opening wide at the bung. admit
the court has the sanction Of the
letter of the law, which in my opin-
ion is a very loosely framed one at
best, for allowing this appropriation,
but / submit it to candid, fair men
If it is the spirit of the law. / be-
lieve large majority of this tax
burthened people will say nay to
the proposition, particularly as there
was no necessity urged for the APP
preparation, but the contrary was
virtually admitted by the Trustee.
Mr. Editor, it is in no factious
spirit that thus call the attention
of your readers to this matter. My
purpose is simply to awaken in the
minds of the people that vigilance
which is not only necessary to pre-
serve our liberties, but also to hold
in check the acts Of our public SER
wants. ECONOMY.
