ThA New York SIM, says: Mark
Twain contributes twenty five dollars
towards defraying the expenses of the
battle flag celebration at Hartford, Con-
necticut, but takes it out of the money
he intended to pay for a pew in a
church. The following is his defense
of that course: "There is nothing no.
hler than for religion to support patri-
otisrn~ and nothing wiser thal.for both
to uphold and encourage domestic econ.
omy, therefore subtract this saam from
the pew rent"

A strong feeling of aninaosity is grow
ing up between Russia and Germany,
and there are politicians and journalists
on both sides who make no secret OF
their wish for trial of strength be-
tween the two countries. Germany is
certainly taking precautions that seem
to provide for the worst. Ten thousand
workmen are hboring on the fortitica-
tions of the fortress of Thorn, which is,
called the Stzasburg of Csermany's east
ern border. The fortress of Posen has
also been immensely strengtheneta and
enlarged. and can now accommodate
large arnE. A considerable part of the
indemnity payments made by France
has been expended upon these fortifica-
tions and in furnishing them with enor-
nous stores of provisions and amuni-
ton.

Nine Anderson, who on Monday
night completed her great walk of 200
niles in the same number of quarter
hours, and pocketed nearly $4,000 as
gate receipts, made the following
speech at the close of her exhibition
l thought, as an actress, | could
make a speech, but this soldier has
taught me a lesson. We women were
sent into the world as helpmates to
men. They are the stronger in mus
cular strength, but when it comes to
a question OF actual endurance / be-
lleye that women are the stronger.
The man a brave danger at the can
mons mouth, but in patience, suffer
Ing and endurance the woman will
show the boldest front. Ever since
my girlhood | wanted to make a name
AS a girl of eighteen or twenty wears |
had a really beautiful contralto voice
but that did not make me a name. /
then tried the stage, and although Iheld
an honorable and responsible position
| was not chronicled on the banners
of fame. My next effort as a clown
in a circus was also a success in its
way; but still the long looked for rep
utatiOn was not reached. / then be-
came a manageress, and got some rep
u~tatlon for losing money, andfnally, on
the 18th of September, 1877, / com
menced my present business. | took
the advice of Gale, the famous long
distance pedestrian, and when he told
me, Go abroad and they will give you
a name, | came here, and now | will
go back with the name for which |
have struggled since my girlhood. 7
sincerely trust hat He who has given
me strength to make it will give me
strength to keep it. The lesson that
| have to give the women of Brooklyn
is that they must learn to do their
part in life. Do the best you can and
that will mean a great deal. Some
people have blamed me for walking on
Sunday, but / think | have only done
my duty. | have done the work I
contracted to do, the same as servants
that cook their dinners on Sunday and
the caf-drivers that drive them to
church. | thank you all for your kind
patronage, and | hope that in a years
time | will be able to retire and live a
quiet life"

False COIors.

A few days since the failure of Mr..
Solomon, a merchant at Humboldt,
Tenn, was mentioned in this journal.
His liabilities were estimated at about
$4,000, principally due in the East.
1t was stated that merchants here
would suffer to the extent Of perhaps
$4,000. 1t is 0 reported that the
amount due here is from $4,000 to
$4,000. A few days before the failure
Mr.. Solomon received from the firm of
Bowdre, Mcclellan & Co., here,
$1,000. Hhis representation were. such
that they had him indicted in the
Criminal Court for obtaining money
under false pretenses, and upon a ca.
pias issued by Judge Ray he was ar
rested at Humboldt by Deputy Sheriff
Dreyfus. Attorney General Turner
went along to see hat a proper and
solvent bond was given. Sureties to
n mount OF 94UOU were secured.
This forenoon Mr.. Solomon arrived
here with a view of arranging the
matter if possible. A squad of his
creditors have been lowering around
Humboldt since the failure, 1t is
stated that only a few weeks since Mr..
Solomon gave a sworn statement tothe
house of II. B. Clafin & Co., New
York, to the effect that he was per-
fectly solvent, and hat this statement
will be forthcoming when his trial
comes up. Several cotton and whole
sale dry goods houses here are men
toned as having suffered in amounts
ranging from $1,000 to $500 each.

Kauffman's saloon, on Second street,
between Madison and Court. He had

some time past. Mr.. Perkins in years
past was a man of refinement and
promise. Being we'll connected he
acquired an excellent education while
a youth, and in his early manhood he
bid fair to occupy a high position.
For the past ten or twelve years,
however, a passion for strong drink
gradually sapped his life until con-
sumption attacked and last night car
ried him to the other world.

When the present legislature un-
dertakes to abolish the above Office it
is hammering at a question involving
a great deal more of import to the
State Of Tennessee than a mere mat
ter ola small salary composed Of dol
lars and cents. The educational in
terest of the State of Tennessee has
grown rapidly during the past few
years, and our system of education is
beginning to assume something like a
working value. 1t has cost much to
bring about this result shall we
throw 1t away just as we are begin
ming to realize its benefits? Certain
", as superintendent of a great State
like ours, there is work enough to
keep one man busy, to employ all Of
his time and pay him for it. Had we
not better do this than to crowd
the duties of the Office upon another
officer whose hands are already full.
and who will be bound to neglect
either one branch of his business or
the other2 If the business of super-
intendent is worth any attention. Il is
certainly worth being we'll attended to.
and, for one, we are in favor of having
it we'll attended to or not at all. We
insist that the legislature shall care.
fully count up the cost of this thing
before they hastily abolish tho ofice ~
superintendent of public instruction.
Better that the people should pay NO
school tax at all. Better that the pres
ent legislature should never have met
than that our u system of public
schools should be crippled just as we
begin to realize some practical advan-
tage from them.
