The full beauties of the South

third, in crushing all proceedings

Weekly WING sSD CHRONICLE
will be kept up during the year
/ 1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
aation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three IN
the South, we commenced the pub
lication of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we Rave battled for Re-
/ publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate Of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party,
We shall make unceasing war
against all men who spouse the
cause of reputation in Tennessee.
Against those who are willing to de-
stroy their State for a little brief
authority, and who for Office are
willing to hishonor and disgrace the
Commonwealth, we shall cry aloud
and spare not.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts~efthe world,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each humber of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made en-
tirely correct and reliable.
We will endeaYor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and |
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and |
WEEKLY WHIG AND CHRONICLE.
In view Of the financial pressure
upon the country and the gen
eral reduction of values, we have
decided to reduce the price of the

suit the times. In the future we
will send our weekly paper to sub

Another Pompeii.

The new Pompeii, said to have been
found near Manlredonia, Italy, on the
Adriatic, in the province of Apulia, at
the foot of Mt. Garigano, seems rather
the re-discovery OF a deserted city than
the disentombment of a buried one. 1t
is the site OF the ancient Sipontum, men
toned by Livy and other writers, and
the foundation of which by the Romans
dates as tar back as 558 of the Roman
era. Having been built on the edge OF
a marshy tract 1t suffered much from
malaria. For this reason Manfred. king
of Naples, in the thirteen century built
another y-Manfredonia-in the vicin-
ity, in healthier situation, at the head
OF fine bay. 1t was laid out in a rec
tangular form, with spacious streets, and
is one of the handsomest towns in Italy.
A cathedral was left standing on the
ancient site. and some remains of a
temple, but all the inhabitants removed
to Manfredonia.
Whether anterior to the desertion OF
the place, a part of the city had sunk in
the marshes, or subsequently it had been
covered up by earthly deposits, it appears
that large remains exist, and that they
have been brought to light at twenty feet
below the surface. Possibly an earth
quake swallowed up the town. A temple
of Diana has been excaYated; a necropo-
lis covering three and one-half acres; q
monument to Pompey for his victory
over the pirates, houses, coins of SipOn-
tum, etc. Although but little of the
site has yet been excavated, it is evident
that it will prove a valuable boon to
classic antiouarians. Sipontum was one
of the principal cities of Magma GTacia,
and was famous for its commercial enter

FRAUDS on THE PUBLIC.
ras.e. and Counterfeit Tickets.

Passes and Counterfeit Tickets.
The travelling public should understand
that the railroads, in order to protect
themselves from frauds, instruct their
conductors to take up passes and collect
fare from persons who cannot be identi-
fed as the legitimate possessors of such
ceurtesies. The extension of the system
of limited tickets also makes it matter
of decided risk to purchase tickets any
where but regular railroad ticket Office.
Tho economically inclined passenger,
with a ticket bought at reduced rates at
an irresponsible scllping" Office, may
find himself, at the very beginning of his
journey, caught up by the conductor
with ticket whose date has expired, and
which is therefore not valid for passage.
There would not be much economy in
that for that passenger. Besides, the
business of counterfeiting railroad tickets
has been quite extensively gone into of
late, and counterfeit tickets are fire.
quently offered for sale. A gang of ticket
counterfeite; were not long ago detected
at Indianapolis and a part of them
arrested. The work of counterfeiting
still continues, and the railroads, to pro-
tect themselves, have adopted new forms
and taken other precautions to shield
themselves against loss. So far as the
public is concerned the moral is very
plain: "Never buy tickets of outsiders
or at unauthorized ticket offices.

Death ia ga. Fayor,te Robe.

The mortuary statistics of the whole civ
ilized world show that about one-ffth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
q greater ratio to the whole number than that
of any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. Its increasing preva-
lence has led to the popular belief that con-
sumption is incurable. Every year hundreds
of these sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats
of FIorida or the dry atmosphere of Color
ado, for health and find only a grave. The
influence of the atmosphere-the only re-
medal agent that either Florida or Colorado
can afford the cOnsumptive-is at best only
pGlIidtjUG. The cure of consumption depends
upon two essential conditions: LIST, the
arrest of the abnormal breaking down of the
tissues, which prevents emaciation, and %,
the restoration of healthy nutrition, in or
der to stop the formation of tuberculOus
matter. Fulfill these conditions, and con-
sumption is as durable as fever. To fulfill
these conditions the required remedy must
increase the appetite, favor tie assimilation
of food, and enrich the blood, thus retarding
the development of tuberCules. To accom-
plish this, more powerful Alternative than
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Die cOvery has
never been discovered. At the same time it
soothes the irritation of the nervous system
produced by violent coughing, which in its
turn SO often leads to more serious results
J The use of expectorants" in consumption
is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercuIes already formed, they produce
yet more serious results by inf1amIng and
destroying the sound and healthy tissues.
Consumption requires a remedy that will
soothe while it relieves; harsh medicines
but add fuel to the flame that already threat
ems to consume the system. The Golden
Medical Discovery fulflls these conditions,
and has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered to allay and arrest censump-
ton.

A Mathematical Phflanthropist.

He was boy with nineteen cents in
his fist. He counted the money at the
corner of Woodward avenue and Con-
gress street, again at the corner of Jetfer-
son avenue and once more on Griswold
street and there was no more nor less. He
was boy who wanted to do good with his
money. His first desire was to buy
nineteen barrels of flour for nineteen
poor and worthy widows, hut after
figuring little he found that he couldn't
do it. Then he got an idea that he
might offer gold medal as prize to the
Woodward avenue car driver who should
drive his car the nearest to one mile in
an hour, but he replied that some would
drive in an hour and thirty minutes,
some a second slower or a second faster,

Earth from Borneo.

In the last century a merchant vessel
came into London docks with yellow
fever, and the captain was suffering
severely from it, and no one would 90
near the sufferers DR.. FOthergill, how
ever, went on board partly out of COM
passion and partly from his desire to
study disease which was new to him
aud he took the captain to his own house
and finally succeeded in getting him
through the fever. When the CAPTAIN
recovered he inquired from the doctor
what he was in mis- debt, but Fothergill
refused to receive any payment. The
captain then wished to know how he
could compensate him for such kindness.
upon which the doctor replied that there
was one thing he could do for him if he
were making voyage to the east, and
