Judge Jones. He is willing TO have
his name go before the Convention,
but will not canvass the State for

- We saw an account some years
ago Of what was said 10 lie the mean
est man ia the world. An old gem
tleman living in one Of the counties
in Middle Tennessee was the owner
of large landed e tate, and much
other property, lie had three sons
all married. Just before the late
war he concluded, as lie was getting
old. he would divide his land among
his children, retaining only q small
lot and garden around the old home
stead for himself and the mother Of
the boys. The result OF the civil
war left the old gentleman and his
gray-haired wife with no means of
living. The hou-e aud garden and
one COW was all that vas left, The
sons. all three, were the owners of
fine, productive farms. In a corn
field belonging to one Of these sons
was a place where the ground had
been too wet in the spring TO plant
and so it had been left 10 grow up
in grass. In the summer the old
lady seeing the rich grass growing
there led her gentle milk-cow to the
place and tied her 10 q bush so that
she could eat the grass. Her un-
natural, ungrateful son went to a
magistrate. procured warrant and
brought suit against his aged father
aad mother for damages and tres
pass This unprinciple son was
written down in the papers at the
time as the meanest man in the
world. But his match has been
found. His name is Joyce. He is
a member Of Congress. He is OPP
posed to granting pensions to the
old soldiers who fought through the
Mexican war because such large
number OF Southern men would be
benefited by the act What do you
think OF that. feilow-men? We hope

Congress is not done with the
money question yet. In fact it has
only taken one step in the right di

greenbacls in place OF bank notes

The next Legislature Of Ten

debt question once more. 1t won't
be a good time to be member. If
the debt is settled at sixty cents in
the dollar, the Legislature will be
obliged to increase tho rate of taxa

hundred dollars worth OF property,
and this will make the tax payers
growl. If the debt is not settled

Writing for the Daily Press,

Did yoH ever stop to consider tie pres
sure under which Il modern daily newspa-
per is Produced? When you find writer
tipping over some simple rule of construc-
ton anil getting himself in verbal tangle
which Emerson would have avoided, does
it occurr to you that newspaper work is a
peculiar and distinctive class of labor ?
The greater part of each daily issue of a
newspaper is composed, arranged and CIV
en- to the public between sun and sun.
There is no leisure in the life of a journal
ist. There is no opportunity to revise. re-
model and correct the hasty workings of
his brain and hand. Topics become stale
if not treated simultaneously with the oc-
currence of the events which give them
birth. In the turning of the hand writer
for the press must be transformed into a
politician. satirist, an essayist, OF a critic,
as the exigencies of the moment demand.
His pen must be facile, his mind versatile,
his Judgment good. A glimpse of the rec
ord of daily events must be sufficient to
furnish him food for mental processes. the
reductions from which, without the details
OF his rcasonings. are to form the themes
of his work. Whatever his conclusions
are they must be given rapidly, freely,
boldly. There is no time to analyze and
re-arrange.

An English gentleman, Mr.. A. Clifford
Eskell, labored for some years to induce
the British post-oflice authorities to intro
duce system of receipts for letters, dis
tinct from the customary registration. His
plan was adopted about year ago. and
works well. He took some pains to bring
It to the notice of Congress. through our
PostOffice Department, but beyond refer
euce to the Committee on Postof1ices t, ere
appears to have been nothing done with it.
The object Of the receipt is simply to show
that ut certain time a letter was mailed to
. given address. In the English offices
slip receipts in blank are furnished for one
cent apiece. The sender of letter who
wishes receipt sends it to the postoifice
with the blanks filled up to correspond
with the address of the letter. and the
mailing clerk signs the receipt, or stamps
1t with the postofiice mark, giving the
time Of mailing. The letter goes on its
way like all unregistered letters. The re-
cept simply shows, beyond dispute, the
fact Of such letter having be- n posted
In many business transactions it is impOr-
tant that the fact of mailing should be cap
able Of proof, and the question whether
letter was mailed at a given time is very
often of importance in judicial proceed
ings.
AS most business pen keep copies of
their letters, the certificate of mailing at
tached to the copy would be complete
record. The receipts would furnish a
complete check upon the honesty, accnra-
cy or punctuality Of messengers. 1t would
give the writer clear evidence that his let
ter had reached the postofiice, and not
been lost on the way. When Angelina
gave her letter to Augustus to mail, by al
taching receipt t. be signed tor it at the
postofiice, she wonld be able to detect that
