Attention is directed to the advertise.
ment, in another column, headed "Em-
press Steam Laundry and French Bath
Rooms" new and important institu'
ton of health and cleanliness recently
erected in Knoxville. The concern is
in the hands of Mr.. Philo B. Shepard,
one of Knoxville's best and most accom-
modating young business men, who will
be pleased TO serve the public when they
desire to patronize an institution of this
kind. 1t is the most complete laundry
in the South lace curtains done up in
Partisan style-and ladies' fine wear and
gentlemens' shirts, collars and cuffs are
dispatched quickly and safely and in
such handsome style, as to cause the
most expert washerwoman to blush and
envy its work. The bath rooms are
complete and consist of the following
kinds: Hot, cold, salt, ammonia, mer-
curial, sulphur and indicated baths.
His sulphur baths are equal the
strength and temperature of those of
Hot Springs, Ark, and he can give
strong testimonials If desired, as to the
efficacy they have produced in counter
acting diseases and causing permanent
cures in many instances. Our Morris
town ladies, If they want their parlors
to be adorned with beautiful and at
tractive curtains this summer, should
send their lace curtains down 70 Knox
vile and have Mr.. Shepard do them up
In handsome and attractive style. Also
we would say to our gentlemen friends,
when visiting Knoxville, step in at
Philo's and hsye him prepare you
bath to suit the inclination Of your
mind, and we viii venture that you will !
feel better by 50 doing.

T he New York Tribune gives table,
showing the exact number of Chinese
coming to and going from the Uni
ted States for the past six months end
ing with December last, from which il
appearsthat, while 4, GAG left the country,
emily 1855 arrived. This causes the 7ri-
6uns to remark; with more than double
as many Chinese leaving our coast
as are coming to it, and with this proof
that the tendency to leave us is growing,
is it worth while to precipitate the alb
rogation of the treaty? If so, is there,
at any rate, any need for such hot haste
that we cannot comply with the usual
diplomatic formalitiess"

To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
In the absence of other news will
mention the revival that is in progress

in awakening sinners to a full sense OF
their danger. There has been several
professions, and many more mourning

Murfreesboro' NeaUS: The bill
introduced by Mr.. Samsell TO repeal
the section of the code which allows
guardians TO invest the funds of
wards in State bondt, was we'll tim
ed, but it was hardly strong enough.
The law should positively forbid the
investment of trust funds in any
such uncertain securities as the
bonds of the great State of Tennes-

zeus should blush to know that the
promises to pay Of this State are
unworthy of confidence, and that the
legislature is called upon to cast
this stigma upon the good name of
the commonwealth.
