now no BUILD 4 FIRE.

1t has been said that it takes a
fool or a philosopher to build a fire.
The following may be considered
the method adopted by both fools
and philosophers with success:
Have plenty Of dry kindling wood,
lay this loosely over some crumpled
paper, then a few Jumps of coal,
with some chunks of dry wood be-
tween them, and then larger Jumps
of coal on top; set the pile on fire
from the bottom and it will burn
freely and rapidly. Any rocks
among the coal will impede the
burning. Whether as fools or as
philosophers, this is exactly the way
in which we have been laying and
kindling the fire which consumed
much of our city on Sunday night.
The coal to be ignited was the stores
on Franklin street, the kindling
wood was the miscellaneous lot of
dry old frame shanties extending
from their rear down the declivity
to Commerce street; the crumpled
paper was the hay and straw and
other packing material scattered
among them, and the chunks OF
wood among the coal are the frame
stores interspersed between those OF
brick; and the only obstacles to
complete combustion of the whole
town were the Hillman and Alwell
blocks, which served as incombus-
tible rocks among the coal. This
fire we have been preparing fol
years, and the only wonder is that
it did not burn long before, for il
was admirably laid and kindled
If we want to avoid future fires, let
us remember that ClarksyilIe is nc
longer village but a populous city
and build accordingly.

Advertising.

The New York Sun, which gets
from three to four dollars per line
for all advertisements inserted in
it's columns, speaking of the spring
trade, says:
Our advertising columns begin to
afford encouraging evidences that
with the opening of spring, trade is
growing more active. Among our
principal advertisers are the retail
dry goods merchants. They are wise
enough to thus keep their names
and wares constantly before those
whom they seek to attract as pur-
chasers. BY reason of their extern
sive advertising, some of these
establishments have become known
all over the country, and they draw
their customers from far and near /;
for they not only offer bargains, but
they take care that buyers of all
classes shall be informed of them.

SCANDAL REOPENED.

1t is announced in the New York
papers that Mrs. TiltOn has con-
fessed to adulterous intercourse with
Henry Ward Beecher. Our readers
need not be alarmed. The daily
press will be full of scandalous de-
tails for months again. When this
was the case before, our columns
were not polluted with the garbage
on which prurient curiosity was fat
tened; if anything occurs likely to
bring the scandal to a definite con-
clusiOn it will be reported. Till
then all allusion to the matter will
be rigidIy excluded.

The Empire, GAINESVILLE & Nash
willie Railroad.
We have satisfaction in announc-
ing the Inauguration of a railroad
scheme which promises to be of inn
mense aid to the resurgent efforts of
GAINESVILLE. For some months now
some wealthy and influential citi-
zens of Kentucky and Tennessee,
engaged in coal and iron operations,
had contemplated a narrow gauge
line of railroad, connecting three
important existing lines. 1t may
be in brief defined as a new line
from Dickson's Station, on the Nash
vile & Northwestern Railroad, to
NOrtonsville, on the st. Louis &
Southeastern Railroad, Ella Clarks-
vile. This latter is the point where
the ElizabethtOwn & Paducah line
crosses the st. Louis & Southeastern
road, and a glance at the map will
be sufficient to show that in every
way it would be of vast Importance
to the interests of GAINESVILLE. 1t
would at once place her in relation
with the finest iron and coal dis
tricts west of the mountains, giving
an opening for her trade Especially
her tobacco trade) north and south.
Two charters are obtained, one from
NOrtonsville to the State line, an
other from the same point in the
State line to a point at or near Dick
son Station, on the Nashville q
Northwestern Railroad. The for
mer charter in Kentucky, of course;
the latter in Tennessee.
The incorporators for Tennessee
are A. G. Blackman, J. p. Drouil-
lard, d. N. Kennedy, r. S. Broad
dus, J. P. Helms, T. NJ. Graham,
E. F. FalcOnet and l.. S. Goodrich.
This list includes stable business
men in Nashville and GAINESVILLE
and iron men along the projected
line.
Further particulars cannot be
given at present, but may be looked
for in future issues. We have strong
reasons for hoping that this scheme
will soon become practical reality.

MESsRs. A. V. and J. r. Good
pasture, lawyers, were peculiarly
unfortunate Saturday night. When
the offices opposite theirs on Straw
berry alley took fire they moved
their law library, one of the best in
town, to the Clerk & Masters Office,
supposed to be fire-proof. The lat
ter building took fire from a frame
bakery in the rear of it and was
burned, with the Goodpastures'
library in it, while their own office
is still standing and the library
would have been saved if it had not
been moved. Mr.. Albert GOodpas-
ture had the additional misfortune
of receiving a severe blow on the
head with an axe with which some
one was removing some wood work
for fear of its ignition. He is not
seriously injured.

SOME of the Cinnamon who have
been compelled to return to their
native country learned while here
to prefer wheat to rice as the staple
article of food, and have for some
time paid considerable attention to
its cultivation. 1t is now said that
their home production is increasing
so rapidly that there will soon be a
surplus for export. So careful and
close is Chinese agriculture that the
wheat never yields less than forty
bushels to the acre, and twenty-five
cents bushel pays well.

WHEN the safe of the Franklin
Bank was opened last Monday
morning it was found that not only
was everything in it safe, but that
some papers in the vault, which
were lying on top of the safe, were
not so much as scOrched. The reg
ular business of the bank was hardly
interrupted by the fire, as the build
ing adjoining the Northern Bank
was secured and moved into at once.
1t has a good vault, having been
occupied several years ago by the
Northern Bank.

DEATH or TWEED.

Tweed, the Tammany thief, is
dead. The papers are some of them
trying to deck out his memory with
a large modicum of the Christian
virtues; liberaIity for one. 1t is an
easy matter for one who steals by
the million to give away by the
hundred. But so runs the world ;
steal enough and you are a shining
mark, steal a little and nobody cares
whether you have any virtues or
not.
