THE FIRST TENN. DISTRICT

Oar friends of the First Tonnes
ses Congressional District will have
to be very careful whom they nomi-
nate. The race will be no child's
play, and democratic success is &
IRsrtcr Of very great Importance
Say whst you please, there has not
bsen, since the close of the war,
an occasion when it was half so
important that a democrats sue
cess should be won in that District.
We arc about to be blessed with the
exit of the fourteen year republican
majority in Congress, but it will
require very nice work. The
Senate will be ours in 1879. No
doubt about it. At last we shall
control that body, and while we
were cheated out of the election of
Tilden, we can, with the Senate,
control Hayes. The only hope of
the enemy is to get small ma
jority in the lower house Of Con-
gress. One vote may decide the
complexion of the House. We
have failed on all the old nominees.
Mr.. @. R. Vance, of Sullivan, is a
man of no party sntagonisms, and
came in one vote of getting a pre-
yiOus nomination. He is a smooth,
popular and sound man, and we
believe he can carry the District.
Can this be confidently said of any
other aspirant

AN EDITORIAL.

One Of the gross blunders of tha t
young and ardent class who en-
desvor to make their first efforts at
the editing of newspaper a per-
feet sunburst of success, is their
disposition to seize by the ears
those editors who have, perhape,
been for twenty years at the helm
of some OF the established papers
of the times. In matters political
they assume to be fulfedged states
men. All :he world seems to have
gone awry, while they were piping
the shell of existence, and they
mean to demonstrate that they
have just alighted from Jupiter or
Saturn. or some choice promontory
of cloundland, with a divine COM
mission to hang, draw and quarter
The iAferier classes OF this planet.
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1878-05-14

Older editors are generally merci-
fnl toward them. AS Mrs. Par
tington said about the gyrations
necessitated by the new style OF
bustles, they charitably remark,
eyes, poor thing Biles. Had
'cm myself once. You'll get bet
ter by and by" The difficulty is,
these supreme rebukes of budding
genius are best unnoticcd, but
this sort of forbearance is generally
regarded as offensive silence and
gets up a fresh crop Of Indignation.
The best remedies are time and
forbearance. We must be careful
never to come near the domain Of
such princes of the quill. Seated a.
stride of winged horses they explore
the seventh heaven Of literature ard
politics. Presidents, Cabinets and
the born Kings of Europe are
especially fagelated by them as
they sweep the circuit Of the Zodi-
&C. Now and then they alight,
and if we have had the cffTOntcry
to paragraph some item tonching
the purIieus of the locality whence
they soar off into space, they
pOunce us like young rOostcrs and
then crow Justify if we pass along
unmindful of any serious peril
Despite all this, we do not get
mad, but are ready to turn the
cheek of meeknesS and risk an
other blow. We like the young
Editor. We prefer to help him if
we can. We would like to tell him
there are breakers III the upper
deep as well as the seas of earth
that there are dragons as we'll as
crocodilcs, and that supreme eau
ton is necessary to those who ven-
ture about the extreme boundaries
Of p Ian tary attraction. Like
Hssn's Phsall's balloon, they may
venture beyond the forces Of graTi>
tation and be swept away by the
attractions Of other spheres, so that
the Moon or Mercury or Vulcan
may hug Them in its grasp, and
they may never see the world again.
This is the critical period of jour
nalis,n, and when it ia passed the
Editor becomes q useful man and
mikes on terms akin to equality
with other men.

Rapid Transit In New York.

The whole length of the elevated road
is about four and half miles, and the
entire trip can be made in about twenty
minutes, though the average time is
about twenty five minutes. This, how
ever, is wonderful improvement on the
slow, crowded horse-car, which usually
occupies an hour in making the same
trip. The cars on the Sixth avenue road
are models of comfort and neatness, and
the motion is as smooth as that of an in
valid chair on heavy velvet carpet. Dur
ing the first few days they were crowded
beyond convenience, but now that the
novelty Of riding in them has worn of,
all passengers can easily obtain seats.
The fare is ten cents for the whole dis
lance or any part CT it, except for two
hours in the morning and the same in the
latter part Of the afternoon, when it is
only tive cents. This. is fixed by the COM
pany's charter, AID cannot be changed,
and its object is to enable the working
classes to get the benefit OF the road at
the price they can afford to pay. The
same rule will operate on the Third ave-
nue. road, which will probably be in run
ming order by October, or possibly soon

Queer Tom.

Tom Flossofer was the queercst boy I
ever knew. 7 don't thing he ever cried.
I never saw him cry. If Fleda found her
tulips all rooted up by her pet puppy,
and cried, as little girls will,
Tom was sure to come around the corner
whistling and say" What makes you cry2
can you cry tulip9 Do you think every
sob makes root or blossom9 Here,
let's try to right thcm.p So he would
pick up the poor flowers, put their roots
into the ground again, whistling all the
time,4 make the bed look smooth and
fresh, and take Fleda off to hunt hens
nests in the barn. Neither did he do any
differently in his own troubles. One day
his great kite snapped the string and flew
away far out of sight. Tom stood still a
moment, and then turned around to
come home, whistling a merry tune.

village at short distance. On his ar
rival there his majesty got out at the door
of the only blacksmith's shop the town
afforded, and desired him to repair the
wheel without delay.
"That would do wiling" replied the
smith, "but it being holiday, all my men
are at church; the very boy who blows
the bellows is not at homo"
IAN excellent method then presents
of warming oneself replied the emperor
preserving his incognito; and he immedi-
ately set about blowing the bellows,
while the blacksmith forged the iron.
The wheel being repaired, six soils were
demanded for the job; but the emperor
gave six ducats. The blacksmith return
ed them to the traveller, saying:
''Sir, you have made a mistake, and in
stead Of six soils, you have given me six
pieces Of gold which no one in the village
can change"
"Change them when and where you
can," said the emperor, stepping into his
carriage; "an emperor should pay for
such a pleasure as that Of blowing the
bellows"
