Keep as Still as You Can.

Advertising is a great bother. Ii
only brings lot of folks around
your place of business. If they
want you let them hunt you up.
Then if you get your name in the
paper, you will be bored with drum
mers, and people will call on you,
and you will have to show them
goods. Your stock, will be eX-
hausted so much that you will he
obliged to buy more goods, which
is great trouble. Ifyou advertise,
too, it gives your place a reputa
ton abroad; folks will go there and
crowd, and make it too lively. If
you don't want to do anything
keep as still as you can.

The advocates of the Electoral
Bill, now that their scheme has
come to such exquisite grief, do not
allow its opponents to refer to the
warnings they uttered while it was
pending. The american the other
day went off into a high-fung bit of
rambunctious remonstiance over the
very idea Of some one saying 81
told you so" That is the merest
trash and evasion. Men did tell
you so, sensible men, honest men,
and you needed them not, and now
you get mad when they refer to a
warning which, if needed, would
have saved the country such dis
grace and calamity. The CITIZEN
did not advocate the Bill because it
thought it would result as it did,
and its issue of Feb. predicted the
very result that has followed; but it
did not assume TO be over-wise, and
submitted that the democratic lead
ers should manage the helm, and we
say just here that the result was
made possible by the acts of these
leaders. with their eyes wide open,
with the past history of the radical
party and its leaders before them,
and it behooves us to submit to the
terrible outrage, although it stinks
as high as heaven. In the mean
time, however, for our future guild
ance and as a reminder to the men
whose lack of foresight has be
trayed us, we deem it right to refer
to the past and show that there was
wisdom in other heads besides
theirs. Mr.. Carr said many things
that were wise and proper, although
he was a little too rash and sweep
ing. We are sorry that our leaders
had not more wisdom, but we do
not blame them nor curse them, for
they acted honestly. The implicit
confidence they placed in judicial
integrity is not to be counted to
their blame further than it shows
their child-like simplicity in believ-
ing all men as honest as themselves.
Fraud has prevailed, and as it did
so through legal channels, we must
aequiesce. We draw one consola-
ton and one lesson from the result:
The fraud that has given a new
lease to the radical party will prove
that party's death four years from
now as sure as Heaven itself. The
trap into which the democratic
party has unwittingly fallen demon
strates utterly it's want of a leader,
and the result that has fallen like a
pail of desolation over the hearts
or honest, liberty-loving men c-ies
unutterably loud for man of cour-
age and wisdom to rise and lead.

The Indians at the mask ball got
considerably mixed in their war
dance. They intended to represent
Pocahontas saving John Smith, but
some of them forgot which was
Poca and which was Johnnie, and
they lit in on Poca's daddy and beat
the stuffin' out of him, and then
dragged Miss p. out by the hind
leg, leaving Col. smith master of
the situation. They went out to
kill John, but we do believe that if
The Herald had not stopped them
they would have eaten each other
up and then elected Smith to the
Legislature to repeal the sheep law.

He Scratched His Toe.


An East Hill man took a bath
last Sunday morning, as his usual
custom, and the memory of that
bath still clings to him even as a
piece of court plaster clings to a
sore spot. He finished his ablu-
tions and before rubbing himself in
entirely, backed up to stove to get
well dried of.
I here was a rousing fire and the
surface of the stove glowed and
glistened with heat. The man stood
within few inches OF it, absorbing
the genial warmth, when all of
sudden his big toe began to itch.
He stopped down TO scratch it. The
stove seemed to move a few inches
nearer him and with fearful yell
he sprang four feet into the air.
Coming down his feet struck on a
bar of soap, which slid from under
him and he sat down on the floor.
He got right up and began a Sitting
Bull war dance around the room,
yelling at his lungs best. His wife
rushed to the door and in anxious
tones inquired through the key hole,
William Henry, what under the
sun is the matter?'
"Sat-down-on- r'he
snorted at intervals, as he hoped
all around the room; and the odor
of the burnt meat which floated
through the key-hole confirmed the
terrible tale.
William Henry's seat at church
was vacant that morning. He
thought it would look disrespectful
to stand up during the entire ser
vice, so he staid at home, and hang
ing himself on the hat-rack, spent
the day quite comfortably. Neither
did he make any calls, and ever
since has been taking his meals of
the top shelf in the pantry. He
has nearly recovered, and has now
new experience to hand down to
posterity.

GEO. J. GOODRICH.
Bohemian.

Rev. DIR. Blake of Nashville, agent
for the Board of Publication of the
C. F. Church, made brief, ''myste-
rious" visit to this neighborhood
last Mondsy. He has the character
of being "hard one" to resist,
when he makes his appeals for
money TO carry forward church en-
terprises. With an indomitable en-
ergy, unyielding perseverance, and
a mind piercing deep into financial
matters, he seems well adapted to
his work. With graceful manners
and persuasive language he seems
well fitted to soften hard hearts and
loosen tight purse strings. His
visit among us, though very short,
we hope was pleasant, and that he
will carry with him grateful recol-
lections of it, we feel assured.
In the last issue of the CITIZEN

nection was not with Maryville Col.
lege, but with Loudon High School
which is under the patronage of the
East Tennessee Synod of the G. T.
Church and located at Loudon,
Tennessee.

Somebody's Boy.

Is somebody's mother thinking
That somebody's boy gets eight"
While somebody's boy is drinking
Somewhere or other to might.
Who was that somebody Juggling
Too heavy load to-day,
Of brandy and rum, and hugging
The posts and corners, chs
Who is that handsome fellow,
The handsome face we meet,
Who comes home 50 late and mellow
He can scarcely keep his feet9
Who is that somebody Keeling
First from the left to the right;
With empty pockets yet feeling
AS rich ss Croes5s to-nightl
Ali pavements havegrown unsteadyl
They wave like q wind blown sheet,
And have interfered already
With somebody's drunken feet.
And still to the world his drinking
Is neither here nor there;
But somebody's pa, I'm thinking,
Or sister or mother would care.
He'll wake tomorrow, its patent,
And he'll come down stairs all right,
And look almost like he hadn't
Been out on q s'tear" last night.
And somebody's mother and sister,
When told that brother got "tight,"
Are almost Inclined to blister
Your cheeks with their hands outright.
But somebody's sins are wearing
The jewel of life away;
And somebody's boy wayfaring
May die in the street some day!
