A FINE CROP OF TOBACCO.
Conversational Prophecies.

The term "genteel peOple"-this, that
or the other is Every genteel" are terms
not to be used, or very seldom. Substi-
tute for them such words as "highly ac-
complished," "good taste, ""gentleman-
ly," etc. 1t is not well for lady to say
''yes sir" and mo sir" to gentleman
acquaintance, or frequently to introduce
the word "sir" at the end of her senten-
ces, unless she desires to be exceedingly
reserved towards the person with whom
she is cOnversing. Such words as az
guess" ~ calculate and al reckon"
are to be avoided as much as possible;
and, when relating To conversation, it
is scarcely refined to use the expression
''says he," or ''says she" or ''you know"
Interrupting one who is speaking, even
though it be an intimate friend, is
graceless and unbecoming. Laughing
at ones own story, is a short way of
spelling tiff it have any wit it will be
appreciated. Speaking of any person
who is at distance within sight, it is
rude manners to point at him. For
getting name, or mistaking one for an
other, often indicates iIl-mannered
heedlessness thus, to say, Mr.. What
dye-call-him, TOu-know-whO, What's
her. name, or HOw-d'ye- call her
Another most offensive practice is, that
of taking person aside to- whisper, IN
room where there Is rvrupany Look
ing one another in the face in CONVEX
satiOn is essential to secure life and in
terest. In speaking of yourself and
another person, whether he is absent or
present, propriety requires us to men-
ton ourselves last in all cases and un-
der all circumstances; thus We should
say, "he and /" and "you and /"

The Progress Of The work-FutureC Con-
neeti0ns, Etc.

The track of the OwensbOro and Nash
vile railroad between this city and the
Junction can now be said to be in as
good condition as when first construct
ed. For over a month a competent
corps of wOrkmen have been recon-
structing the bridges and trestle-work,
putting in new ties and rails until the
track is comparatively new. The work
has all been done under the personal
supervision of Superintendent Culver
house, a railroad man of lOngexperienee
and excellent judgment, which assures
Us that it is done WELL At a meetingof
the stockholders of the y. G. 4 St. l..
railway company in Nashville last week
resolutions were unanimously adopted
approving the course of President Cole,
and urging the completion of the road
as speedily as possible. The work re-
Gently advertised to be done ON the road

thought all of il will be completed by

a report having been circulated that
1t was the intention of the company to
cut off at LivermOre, and go down to
Evansville, a representative of the Mes
senger called on Mr.. Culverhouse and
inquired as to the truth of the report
He stated emphatieally that he had
nevereven heard sueha thing intimated,
but on the contrary, that the company
expect to make a Nincennes connection

was very much encouraged, and was
satisfied il would be one of the best pay

see the road well sustained by our home

ON our Most Distant Frontiers.

As i'm our busiest and most pOpulous
cities of the seaboard and interior, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is pre-eminent-
ly popular. Wherever civilization
plants its foot ON this continent, thither
the great tonic soon finds it way. Nor
is this surprising, for it is the medicine
of all others best adapted to the wants
of the Western emigrant, be he miner
or agriculturist. 1t is an Incompatible
remedy for the diseases to which he is
most subject, and which are liable to be
brought on by a change of climate,
hardship, exposure, unacustomed air
and diet, and miasmatic atmosphere
and water. Among these are disorders
of the stomach and bowels, rheumatic
ailments, and malariOus fevers, for all
of which Hostetter's Bitters is certain
specific. A course of the Bitters be-
fore departing for new field of labor,
or on arriving, will have the effect of
preventing the evils for which il is such
a signal remedy. 36-lm.

EebO's.

Hessa Tabor, the boy who was SEN
fenced To two years imprisonment in
the penitentiary at the April term of
Muhlenberg Circuit Court for stealing
jerry Milliard's horse, was pardoned
last week by the Governor. The. YeO-
man says he was very low with pneu-
monia, and was too bad to be removed.
His mother lives in Crittenden county.
There are fifteen licensed lawyers at
the Greenville bar, twelve of whom are
in actual practice. 1t is estimated, by
one of the most prominent members of
the profession, that the annual practice
amounts to about 5000, and of this
amount not $500 is collected. Now
the question arises, how do twelve able
bodied men, and some of them with
large families to support, manage to
live on this amount? Yet they undobt-
edly do live.
About the same number of lawyers in
Hartford do an annual business of 500
600 to 5000 Editor.

How to RaIse Large Corn.

/ have made great many expert
ments with corn within the last fifteen
years. / had fourteen different kinds,
and this year | got some of the largest
ears | ever raised. / always select my
seed corn i'm the fall, at husking time,
and i'm the spring | sort them over again.
Last spring | took no ears that We're less
than twelve inches long; then took off
three inches at the tip end and two
inches at the butt end, and from these
central grains | got ears fifteen inches
long and from fourteen to sixteen rows.
Several years ago 1 selected ears from
stalks that had two ears, but the result
was not nearly so satisfactory as from
planting only central grains. My opin-
ion is, that if farmers would be a little
more careful in selecting their seed corn
they could raise from five to ten bushels
more per acre than they do when they
pick it out of the crib in the spring.

GATHERED GEMS.

Hope on, though all your dreams OF life
should vanish,
And mortal blooms, like Autumn leaves
decay;
Though all the phantom joys you love to
cherish
Elude your grasp like spectral shades the
day;
Though friends forsake and all the world de
ceive you,
And every mound you stand upon is gone,
Though night shuts in without one star to
light you,
And tempests howl around you, still hope
on.
Hope on. The bowling blast will sink be-
meath you,
And natures storm leave the sea more
calm;
The starless night shut in at last viii leave
you,
And morn's bright star proclaim the break
of dawn.
Though deaths pale Steed should sweep in
cycles round you
And bid you muse upon the life of man,
Though every friend in life be called to leave
you
And silent sleep or roam in distant realm,
Though death should drop his murSy mantle
DER you
And earth's scenes fades with n night of
gloom.
Hope on. For one passed through the gate
before you
And burst the bonds of his lone rock sealed
tomb.
Though every gem Of life seems dead within
And you walk the Valley Of Shades alone
Hope on, The Lord thy God is there above
YOU,
And he will light you to the Masters
thOne.

1t has been commonly said that the
cold water poem, ''The Old Oaken
Bucket" was inspired by glass of bran
dy. n writer in the Boston Herald
af1irms the truth of the story, and tells
il as a personal recollection. Samuel
Woodworth, the author, was printer,
and was employed in an Office in Cham
bers street, New York. One day he
dropped into MallOry's bar-rOom, i'm
franklin street, to get some brandy and
water. The liquor was excellent, and
prior to anything he ever tasted. "NO,
said comrade, "there was one thing
that you and used to think far surpassed
this in the way of drink" "What was
that?' asked WoodwOrth, obviously.
"Fresh spring water that we used to
drink from the old oaken bucket that
hung i'm well, after our return from the
bayfield, ON a sultry day i'm summer"
The rhythm ofthephrase, 1.-THE old oak
en- bucket that hung in the well, A." struck
Woodwork at once and the picture of
the well at his boyhoOd came to his
mind. Within few hours he had COM
