How to Get Rich.

The great mass Of men are ever
trying to solve the question of how
to get rich, and in the attempt to
do so have misery, pam, disgrace,
wrong, ignominy, discomfort and
all outrages of mankind that have
been perpetrated. A grasping, eager
desire to make money has estranged
friends, neighbors, brothers, fathers
and sons, and caused bitter hate
and strife where peace and love did
and should exist.
In the inordinate desire TO amass
money, nine-tenths of all the trou-
bles of life originate. 1t is the duty
of every one to try by all honest
means to make living, and as the
time may arrive in the life Of ali
when sickness or misfortune or
disability may overtake us, it is
always desirable to be careful and
prudent and lay up little means to
prevent suffering and want when
misfortune overtakes us. But the
idea is erroneous that it is the main
object of life to hoard up money.
The man who has spent a life in
amassing and building up colossal
fortune at the expense OF the feel
ings, the interests, and the prosper
ity of others, does not enjoy a more
happy and quiet life or a more
peaceable death than the beggar.
Money may command influence,
and help to put a poor mortal up,
and cause him to be ostentatious,
but it never compensates for a life
spent in trampling upon the rights
and feelings of others. II there was
more of a desire TO live and enjoy
lie; and to do exact justice to all,
less avarice, more honesty, more
consideration for, and interest In,
neighbors and friends, and less
grasping after money, there would
be less misery, more happiness, and
longer and happier lives. Let the
miser hoard his Ill or honestly got
ten gains, but you live with an eye
to comfort, and with a proper re
spect for the rights Of others, and
we assure you you will 1--we a hap
pier and longer life.

The Legislature and the State
Debt.

Nashville Banner, 2sth ult: The
Legislature adjourned sine die. Its
action, the closing hours of the ses-
sion, IN passing the ten cent tax bill
over the Governors veto, was not
at all creditable. The veto looked
to upholding the good name and
credit of the State; passing the bill
over the veto looked in the opposite
direction. That's all there is of il.
The creditors of the State made a
generous proposition, to which the
Legislature paid but blunt and curt
attention. The State debt must be
adjusted in some way, but how or
when it is difficult to see. Gov.
Porter is placed in a delicate posi-
tion. If he calls the Legislature in
extra session, what can be expected
from the quasi reputation body
which has just adjourned9 If he
fails to call an extra session, what
response is to be made to the prop
osition of the bondholders? Viewed
in any light, the situation is such
that cannot reflect credit upon our
proud old State. Tennessee is able,
amply able to pay sixty cents on
the dollar of her Indebtedness. That
she don't do it, nor make provis
ions for payiag even one cent on
the dollar, is nothing short of a dis
grace to the State. There.

The Fire of the Old Flint.

We clip the following from Gov.
Brownlow's paper, not to endorse IL,
but TO show that there is just as
much fire in the old flint as there
was forty years ago. He still shows
how to hit out from the shoulder:
Hon. M. d. Bearden, our efficient
and wide-awake Representative IN
the Legislature, has materially
changed the school law. One OF
the changes abolishes the County
SUPPLEMENTARY aud makes the
Judge, or chairman Of the County
Court, superintendent ex-oiiicio.
Capt. Bearden writes rs that there
are other important changes. We
would not be surprised il that Leg
islature should pass an act making
it misdemeanor FOR a man 20 send
his child 70 school. Such set OF
sap heads were never before cOngre-
gated together in such a capacity.
There are two public institutions
at and near Nashville, which are
similar, and at the same time dis.
similar. To one the unfortunate
insane arc sent for treatment and
care, or for comfort and protection
il they are incurable. To the 9th
er which we call the Capitol, we sec
congregated once in two years, one
hundred persons, n large proportion
Of whom are pre-ominoDtly igno
rant, bordering on idiocy. We have
a convocation OF that character
there. There are "a number OF good
men among them, but they, unhappi-
ly, have little influence with the ma
jority. A gentleman who has been
attending Tennessee Legislatures
for more than n third OF a century,
told us the present body Is the
weakest ever assembled at the State
House. The dough heads seem 70
preponderate. They may have been
some benefit TO the State, but the
expense Of their sitting and the
harm they have done more than OF
sets the little good they have ae'
complished. IL Is stiango that the
people are 50 apathetic 10 their own
interests as 70 send lot or igno-.
ramuses TO the Legislature charged
with the important duties OF max
ing laws. 1t is n mockery. Dough-
heads. muttoD-heads, dcad'heads
and dead. beats are not likely TO do
anything creditable except by acci-
dent Next Monday the Legisla-
ture adjourns, and we call upon the
people irrespective Of party, to join
In singing the long inetrc doxology.
We seldom have greater cause for IL.

observation-disclosures.

The following extract is from a
letter of H. V. Redhold, to the Gin
einnati Commercial, in reference TO
the Tennessee state debt. It con-
tains some pretty strong language
whether too strong under the cir
eumstances, we leave our readers
to determine:
Not satisfied with introducing
about thirty bills to repeal the dog
law, the Legislature are set about
devising .neans to swindle tho cred.
itors of the State out Of what Ia
justly their due. One of their last
acts was to fix the tax rate at one
mill on the dollar This is repudi.
alton. and was meant for that. The
existing rate of four mills will not
pay current expenses and interest
on the debt, so the Legislature gave
the creditors warning of what TO ex-
pect by putting the rate at one mill
on the dollar. And that, too, lust
after the bondholders in Now York
had most generously offered TO do
nate to the State forty per cent. of
the debt That is, they offered to
take sixty cents on the dollar In
new bonds, running thirty years,
thus donating TO the State nearly
one half of what Is owing TO them.
And that, too, when the State is
amply able TO pay every cent Of the
debt, face value.
The yelp of poverty is merely the
cloak of dishonesty. There is not
State which borders Tennessee
but that has higher rate OF taxa
tion than four mills. This tells tho
story of dishonesty and bad faith
too plainly to be mistaken. If the
rate here was higher than surround
ing States, there might be some oc-
casion Of complaint. but as il Is, the
present treatment of the creditors Ia
downright dishonesty. Take tho
average rate of taxation in Virgin
Ia, Georgia. Alabama, Missouri,
West Virginia and Kentucky, and
apply it TO Tennessee, and Il would
be amply sufficient to pay current
expenses and interest on the public
debt. Yet in the face of this, the
creditors generously offer TO throw
off forty per cent of this debt, and
only asked for the interest on the
balance, and very small sum TO be
laid aside each year as n sinking
fund for ultimate redemption of tho
new bonds given for the old on ba.
sis of sixty cents on the dollar.
Yet they are met by summary
reduction of the tax rate TO one mill
on the dollar, which will not half
pay current expenses This Is TO
force the creditors TO take thirty
three cents on the dollar, or some
such small per cent. or repudiate al
together. In the history OF rascali-
ty and reputation there are few in
stances the equal of this. The
blush of shame is brought 10 the
face of every States honor man In
Tennessee, for he is made n party
TO the wrong done these innocent
creditors. They have parted with
their money on the pligbted faith
and honor of the State, and after
waiting patiently some years for
their interest, they are told in effect
to take thirty or forty cents on the
dollar for their debts, or nothingi
And that. too, by State which 10
abundantly able 10 pay, and which
has not even the excuse for levying
a higher rate of taxation than any
of the surrounding States.

The Courier journal says: Pack
ards bailiwick in Louisiana com
prIses the square on which the
State house is located in New Or
leans. He has there 500 followers
armed with muskets, and with hand
grenades convenient. He has 1ot
an iota of authority outside these
limits and he leans heavily for sup
port on the Federal soldiers quar-
tered in the adjoining building. On
the other hand, l3 out of the Is dis
trict judges of the State recognise
Nichols, while five have recognized
neither Packard nor Nichols, but
are waiting further Developments.
In 43 parishes all the officials
recognize Nichols. In five of the
parishes half Of the officers recog
nize Nichols and half recognizes
Packard. In the remaining nine
parishes the officers have act quail
fed. Among the Nichols appoint
ees there are a large number of col
ored men. Packard's jurisdiction
over the State is not visible to NOR
tai eye. He collects no taxes; can
not pay his henchmen, aud could
not organize a fourth-rate insur-
rection in the country parishes:

LINES,
TO nAsEL ON TIE DEATu OF nrH FLOWERS.

Those sweet fow'rs gave. did they
So soon, so quickly fadel
Tho PercIled by the sunbeam's ray
In sweetest chine and shade.
They Ia 70 died, those bright-eyed flowers
Have bowed their lovely head,
And in their sweet. young, tender hours
Are numbered with the dead.
Their bloom is gone, life has perished,
But the incense of that life,
Tho rich breath their bosoms cherished,
Is still with sweet fragrance rife.
In those flowers man may discern
Tie true emblem of his state,
And from them he indeed may learn
His vain hopes and mortal fate.
Those sweet stars of our earthly sky,
How brief their bright careerl
How soon they bloom, how quick they die
And such does life appear.
But in them, too, he may desery,
In their deathless perfume,
The soul, immortal, cannot die,
lives beyond the tomb.
For flowers fair, though touched by death,
Tho withcrod they seem to be,
Do still retain their fragrant breath,
AS balm to their memory.
So ore word said, or one deed done,
The word or deed that's kind,
While slowly sinks liies setting sun,
Will leave its balm behind.
The vase where flowers sweet repose,
Tho broken, yet does still
Retain the fragrance ofthe rose,
That did its bosom fill.
Tho from the rose and foweret
Time does their sweets dissever,
Not so with hearts, they can't forget;
Remembrance is forever,
And SO with me, tho Fate may bring
Misfortunes to me here,
Remembrance will the fonder cling
To one that is most dear.
If fiow'rs, tho bright and blest they be,
Breathe their sweet life away,
Not so the memory of thee,
1t dearer grows each day.
Indeed my heart can meier forget
The joys thy presence had;
Those pleasures have no vain regret
To make repembrance sad.
In future days, as time grows old,
They'll bright and brighter be,
Ard mem'ry will new joys unfold
AS l remember thee.
Tho Fate my life with woes may I'LL,
Thy image illimpart
Sweet memories that ever will
Cling closer to my heart.
Where'er my footsteps may be laid,
Whatever climes | see,
I'll often think of one sweet maid
In Sunny Tennessee.
How will II bo with thee sweet maid
Will some fond sigh remindi
Will from thy remembrance fade
With no regret behindl
Oh! no; tho joys thy life may fill,
Or sorrows thy lot may be.
In future times know you will.
Sometimes remember me.
No matter what in life my lot,
Should Fate accurse or bless,
Where'er be, l'll think of thee,
Sweet source of happiness. M ID.

How Daniel Boone Died.

The Paris Ky. Citizen repro
duces from the same paper, of Sep
tember Sth, 1909, the following:
GAS he lived, so he died-with
his gun in his hand. We are in
formed by gentleman direct from
Boone's on the Missouri, that early
in last month Col. Daniel Boone
rode 20 deer lick, and seated him
self within a blind raised TO conceal
him from the game. That while
sitting thus concealed, with his old
trusty rifle in his hand, pointed to-
ward the lick, the muzzle resting on
log, his face to the breech of the
gun, his rife cooked, his finger to
the trigger, one eye shut, the other
looking along the barrel through
the sights-in this position, without
struggle or motion, and of course
without pain, he breathed out his
life so gently that when he was
found next day by his friends, al
though stiff and cold, he looked as
if alive, with his gun in hand just
in the act of firing. 1t is not alto
gether certain that if a buck had
come within range of his gun, which
had been the death of thousands,
but it might have intuitively fol
lowed its old employers mind and
discharged itself. The hypothesis
being novel, we leave the solution
to the curious"
