4 NEW IDEA.
How Bill vsn Norman, Of Dayton,
S0bers Up Old SOakers.

William Van Norman, of Dayton,
has hit upon a new idea to assist in
keeping his saloon clear Of old to-
pers who get too drunk for any use.
When one of these begins to crawl
around the floor, or shows unmis-
taxable signs of fatigue by going to
sleep on billiard table, Van Nor
man gently but firmly grabs him by
the back of the neck and the seat of
his breeches and dumps him into a
new watering trough which has just
been placed in front of his saloon.
The topper is thus instantly sobered
up and got ready to start in again
on another hilarious drunk. The
idea has already been put in prac-
tice three or four times, and is said
to york splendidly.

There are very few persons who

that they are hardly worth the hold

Tho 1IayOralty of Knoxville.

The election last Saturday resulted
in the choice Of Capt, Jos. jacques,
with a majority of III over Col. C..
w. Charlton. We congratulate the
citizens Of Knoxville in having secur>
ed a gentleman who is in every way
so qualified for this responsible po-
%sition. The Tribune in commenting
upon, has this to say:
The election Of Captain JOSEPH
JAQUEs to the Mayoralty is one of
those events that are dOubly honOra-
ble--beiDg highly complimentary to
him and creditable to the men who
elected him. As is well known. he
did not desire the Office and was re-
luctant, even after repeated appeals,
to permit his name to be used by his
friends. That he has carried six
out of the eight wards of the city, not
only without any personal effort on
his part, but during his absence in n
neighboring State, aud that too in
the face of a most vigorous anvas
in opposition, is about as expressive
an endorsement as could be given Of
his fitness for the position, and Of
the high esteem in which he is held
by this community. He possesses all
the needed qualities for an excellent
Mayor. and, though he is now called
Cor the first time tc that position, he
is not without experience as a mem
Der Of the Board of Aldermen. The
people Of Knoxville feel that every
interest Of the city will be safe in
his keeping. The majority Of Alder>
mcn elected being Trustworthy snd
competent, We have the assurance Of
q good city government.

that, once upon a time, Il Connrcti-

wealthy old BOBBY. of some seventy

the kindness to die in a lev years

But she was fooled. IL the whole of
his superanuated anatomy there was
not one solitary bowel of compassion
for his wife, who nursed him for
t~hirty>odd years, and then died at
the age of sixty, leaving him a wild
over upward of a hundred years old.
Never since the world began was a
more diguSting fraud practiced upon

The General Assembly has closed It's
lAbors for the week. Great measures
are still in process Of incubation
The Finance Committee has present.
ed its bill, as published in the Ne,Cs of
last week, and Col. Barbour has pre-
scented In his own name q bill to re-
fund the debt at three per cent. The
licsnse tax IL appropriated specifically
to its payment. A suggestion made
by Mr.. Johnston, Of Giles, looking to
tAx-reeelvRble coupons, which feature
may in times OF public necessity be
suspended by the Legislature, meets
with some favor. ] see Mr.. Brooke,
OF the Senate, has incorporated it i IN a
bill. 1t would offer quite an induce
ment to the boDdholder TO refund at
the reduced rate, and would leave the
State with sovereign power to the ex-
tent Of seIEpreseTyatiOn.
Both Houses have agreed 10 elect on
wednesday next ali stale onlceTs, eX-
cept Treasurer, Second Auditor and
Judges. The caucus will meet next
Tuesday evening to nominate. The
boilers have backed and will make no
nominations. OF course, they will try
TO defeat our nominees in the joint as
sembly, but such is the way of boilers,
and we shall try to beat them at ev-
cry such game. Auditor Taylor will
probably be allowed to remain. He

Gen. Rogers, the Second Auditor, will
be opposed by Delegate McMUllen Of

opposed by Mr.. Gaines, of Charlotte,
Capt. r. +. Walker, Public Printer, is
opposed by Mr.. r. E. Frazier, for

patch office.
The Committee on Courts OF Justice
is maturing a bill to reduce the num-
Der of Judicial Circuits from IS to i
or Is. 1t Is quite certain that if the
measure should be adopted it will
leave only two Circuits in the South
West, instead Of three. SO THAT
Judges Kelly, Fulton and Blair had as
well draw straws as to whom the lot u
Jonah shall fall, and prepare for hat
one to go overheard.
The Senate to-day defeated the bill
TO allow land ners in killing SEA

lands. So there goes many an expec-
tatioD.

somewhat unwell for a week. BIT is
again out and ready to readjHst and

DIR. Mcconnell has had another at

on last Monday operate on a relative
of DR.. Mcdonnell, a young man from
Scott county, aged p years, for stone
in the bladder, 8 mOst difficult and
delicate surgical operation, which has
thus far been unusually successful
Il is probable that DR.. Mcclure has
no superior as a surgeon, at least in
Virginia.

a candidate for Governor next time.
as I hope he will be, he cal count on

Great hopes are entertained in high

preme Court.
The special committee on reappor-
tionment seems determined TO leave

while Smyth, with just half the
population, will be allowed one also.
The committee on constitutional

REso-TURKISn A
The Armistice Conditions not
Likely to be Accepted by
Turkey.

LONDON, Jaa. ia special to the
Times from st. Petersburg eays: A
person who helped TO draw up the ar
mistice conditions states that they are
such as re not likely to be accepted
by the Turks.
The came dispatch states that the
| Minister of the Interior has instruct
ed the press to be moderate in It's re-
marks about Austria and England.
The Times Pera dispatch has the
following II is said that the Grand
Duke Nicholas, accompanied by his
wife and General IgDatietf, met the
Turkish delegation, on Friday moro
inc at a station on the Jamboli rail-
way. The Grand Duke had advanced
70 meet the delegates because of diff
cuIties Oh the road, and c~OurieOusly
invited them TO return by carriage
with him.
The corresl ondent Of the Times
saws that Austria has made no cOIn-
muniratioH TO the Porte concerning
the terms of peace since her answer to
the Porte's note Of December 18th,
asking mediation. The present re-
port seems to be founded upon the
reservations which Austria then made.
LONDON. Urn. 19.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at Pera states
The TurkIsh delegates met the Grand
Duke at Iiruova SeInenli, and pre-
liminary notes were exchanged

DAYS. Tyn8na-Senenli being thirty
FIVE kilometres distant. The negOtia-
tions will then begin.
1t ia generally thought here that
the wiEeat policy is for Turkey to
make reace at once.
The Times' Pera correspondent says:
Queen Victoria telegraphed the Sui
tan that she was already acquainted
With the action of the British agent.
and that she had herself urged the
Gar to make permanent and honor-
able peace.
