New York paper several days before it
was given to Congress.
The Republicans of the District of
Columbia who have voluntarily re-
manned disfranchised for some years,
in consequence of the great influx of
ragged and destitute Africans from all
portions of the South, voting for any,
thing that brought taxation to proper
ty holders, are now organizing with q
view to be reinstated with the rights
of an American citizen and the power
of the ballot. At a meeting held sew
eral days since, Major A. G. Richards
was chosen president, and Hon. Robert
g. Ingersoll and other prominent Re-
publicans elected vice presidents. They
were eloquently addressed by Hon.
Robert Ingersoll, who made no allu-
sion to the mistakes of Moses, but
dwelt principally upon the mistakes of
Congress-.
Four carloads of colored emigrqnts

twenty, had paid their fare through to

A HindOo Story.

A poor HindoV, having Deen re-
leased from the cares of the world
AID from a scurvy wife presented
himself at the gate of Brahma's
paradise:
Have you been through purga-
tory?" asked the god.
"No! but I've been married, he
answered seriously.
"Come in then; it's all the same"
At that moment arrived another
man, just defunct, who 5egged of
Brahma to go in also.
Softly, softly! have you been
through purgatoryp'

Double Headed.

Philadelphia has a marvel in a
double headed WOMAN. She is
known as the Nightingale" is
twenty seven years old and is a
negress. The Times says: "The
two heads sit on her shoulders at
angles to each other, so that the net
which keeps up the hair of one
touches the net which keeps up the
hair of the other, and if the owner
wills it, the two heads may bump
against each other like playing
bones in the hands of an expert
The singular part is her converse
ton. One tongue begins to talk,
the eyes brighten, and the face be-
comes animated. At this point the
observer catches sight of the other
face with a sort of grin on it, and
the other eyes with leer IN them.
Presently the second tongue begins
to talk too; and there is a sort of
race between them"

Manitoba.

Manitoba Lake which lies north
west of Fort Garry, and has given a
title to the province formed out of
the Red river region, derives its
name from a small island, from
which in the stiffness of night is
sues a mysterious noise. On no &C
count will the Ojibway approach or
land on this island, supposIng it to
be the home of the Manitoba. the
speaking God" The cause OF
this curious sound is the beating of
the waves against the "shingle'' or
large pebbles lining the shores.
Along the northern coast of the
islsnd is a long, low cliff of fine
grained, compact limestone, which
under the stroke of the hammer
clinks like steel. The waves beat
ing on the shore at the foot of the
cliff cause the fallen fragments to
rub against each other and to give
out q sound resembling the chimes

Surrendering Luzuries.

Some one gives the following Ia
bic of the order in which men give
up their Injuries under the pres
sure of hard times:
Books go frst-the book trade
fatters under a panic; illustrated
papers next, and then daily papers.
If the pressure continues, the
trade in pianos and furniture falls
off-the laboring classes begin to
contract on the furniture for the
first start. Next it begins to cut
off fine clothes and jewelry, and
then it's getting pretty tight. Put
in another screw, and tea and coffee
suffer; then all fine groceries and
other kinds of produce. If the
screw still tightens, when the worst
comes to the worst, and there is no
help from God or man, the whisky
and tobacco begin to be cut of
but the dog is about dead when it
comes to that.

Revenue from Advertising.

New York Times: AS to what
revenue comes from advertising,
there can be little said, as this is a
part of the private business of the
concern, and figures are not easy to
arrive at. London and New York
papers, however, head the list, and
the London Times and the New
York Herald enjoy the largest pat
ronage of any newspapers in the
world. What these papers receive
is unknown, but it is said that the
proprietor Of the London Times
gave the receipts of one depart
ment of his paper TO bis wife for
pocket money, and it amounted TO
100000 per year. This is nc
doubt an eXaggeration OF probably
forty diameters. Several Partisan
papers are reported as receiving
100000 per year on advertising
and q number of American papers
can equal and excel this amount
Whatever the amounts, the ques
ton is decided by more than 2O(
years of fair trial that advertising
pays, and the thoroughgoing busl
ness man of the nineteenth century
considers a knowledge of the bes
means of advertising almost as nee
essary in business as a knowledge
of the goods he has to sell.

THE TENNEss EE INJUSTICE.
How the Attempt TO Make the
Railroads Pay Twice Will
Affect the State.

Nashville American: The case
certainly demands the exercise of
the highest craftsmanship. If the
bondholders can hold the roads re
sponsible they will exact the last
farthing. If they do not they will
form singular exception to cred
itors. public and private. All chance
for compromise will thus have been
thrown away by failure to accept
the terms offered. The State is not
relieved at all, but only substitutes
for the bondholders as creditors the
railroads who .have paid or be-
come responsible for the debt. 1t
will stand in the attitude of an en-
dorser, to whom the principal debt
or has paid the amount of the debt
to hold in trust. 1t is not denied
in any quarter that the railroads
have paid their debt to the State in
outstanding bonds of the State,
taken up and paid in. The Comp
troller's report shows this. These
bonds have been, as between the
State and the roads paying them
into the treasury, paid in under the
provisions of the seventh section of
the act of 1852, and also under the
act of January 2, 1870. They have
acted under authority conferred by
the State, and in so far as they have
paid in these bonds they have, as
was intended by the acts of 1852
and 1870, diminished the bonded
debt of the State. Now it remains
to be seen whether the statesman
ship of the State is able to rise to
an appreciation of. the gravity of
the situation, and to devise wise,
just and honorable policy for avoid
ing the dangers suggested by this
new complication. 1t is useless to
disguise the fact that this is grave
and threatening peril, involving the
highest material interests of the
State and all It's people. 1t not only
threatens the material interests of
the State, but, il not settled by the
adoption OF a wise and statesman
like policy, it threatens to entangle
itself disastrously with our politics
for wears to come.

This Life is What We Make It.

Let's often talk ofnoble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We are not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wakeit;
Bright happiness Is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is il every soul,
That takes the pains to win it.
Obi there's a slum boring good in all,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Send light and joy about theml
Thanks be IN them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
OIL this should be happy world
To all who may partake it;
The faults our own, it is not
This life is what we make it.

Rules and Reasons.

The Boston Transcript gives the
following nine commandments TO
those who write now and then 10
the press:
1. Write upon one side of the
leaf only. Why? Because it is Of
ten necessary TO cut the pages into
"takes" for the compositors, and
this cannot be done when both sides
are written upon.
1. Write clearly and distinctly,
being particularly careful in the
matter Of proper names and words
from foreign languages. WhyS Be
cause you have no right 70 ask
either editor or compositor 10 waste
his time puzzling out the results Of
your selfish carelessne
8. Don't write in a microscopic
hand. Why? Because the com
positor has 70 read 1t across his
case at a distance Of near two feet
Also, because the editor often wants
TO make some additions and other
changes
4. Don't begin at the very top OF

Somebody could pay a years sub
seription just now, or a half years if
they prefer, in sweet potatoes, at the
market cash price. Somebody else could
pay another year or half year in Irish
potatoes. Somebody else could do the
same in stove wood. Somebody else
could do the same in chickens. Some
body else could do the same in hams.
else could do the same in
flour, meal, wheat, corn, hay, fodder,
old scraps of iron, clean cotton rags,
dried fruit, &c. The first three how
ever are imperative necessities. They
MUST come.

the ilrst page. Why? Because IL
you have written a head for your
article the editor will probably want
TO change il, and il you have no.
which is tho better Wayne must
write one. Besides, he wants room
to write his instructions 10 the
printer as To the type 20 be used,
where and when the proof is TO be
sent, etc.
3. Never roll your manuscript.
Why? Because IL maddens aud ex-
asperates every one who touches II
editor, compositor, proof reader.
G. BE brief. Whyf Because PEG
pie don't read long stories. The
number of readers which any two
articles have is inversely proper
toned TO the square of their rtspec-
tive lengths. That is, half col
umn article is read by four times as
many people as one of double that
length.
z. Have the fear Of the waste
basket constantly and steadily be-
fore your eyes. Wnvl Because il
will save you a vast amount Of use
less labor, to say nothing Of paper
and postage.
s. Always write your full name
and address plainly at the end Of
your letter. Why2 Because il will
often happen that the editor will
want To communicate with you, and
because he needs to know tho wri.
ter's name as a guarantee OF good
faith. 1t you use a pseudonym or
initials, write your own name and
address below it. 1t will never be
divulged.
8. These precepts To thy mem
DRY keep" and for fear you might
forget them, cut them out and put
them where you can readily run
through them when tempted to spill
innocent ink.

A New Proposition.

Men and women tell us almost daily
they would like to take the CITIZEN, but
they are too poor. Therefore we make
tins offer: Widows and destitute, home
less men with families, shall have 20 per
cent. discount from the regular price if
they are really and truly hard pressed.
We make this offer in all sincerity with
no intention to offend, and we cordially
invite all such to avail themselves of it.
We are anxious to put the CITIZEN into
the hands of every family in Giles coun-
ty, and no one shall have an excuse if
we can possibly help it. If you haven't
got the money bring us something to
eat at the market price.

Think Of It.

Think of it, Two drinks a day at
fifteen cents each will amount in
one year TO one hundred and nine
dollars and fifty cents, and three
drinks per day at the same price
will amount to one hundred and
sixty four dollars and twenty five
cents, and three cigars a day, at
five cents apiece, will amount in
the same time to fifty-four dollars
and seventy-five cents; put these
two items together and we have
two hundred and forty-nine dollars
thrown away for luxuries that do
no good. just think Of this and
.'swored Off in the future.
