Put Your House in Order.

!
depression, like physical disease.
has very nearly run its race and will
soon be accounted as one of the things
OF the past, there are substantial
reasons for believing. Telegraphic
and mail dispatches from all the
Eastern and Midi" portions of the
Union evidence hat the country is
ri9hting itself. One of the prin-
cipal strongholds Of our hopes is the
fact that through New York and Bos-
ton the country is receiving access
sOns in the way of immigration
which exceeds anything heretofore
known for many years. The twelve
thousand people who arrive at New
York every month, begin to scatter
money as soon as they set foot upon
our shores. They have to be fed,
housed, clothed and transported.
All this costs money, and the emf
grants, instead of being paupers,
have the hard cash to pay for all they
want. A late New york paper takes
pains to emphasize the fact that, as
class, the emigrants pouring into
this country are well-to-do in all
respects. a large marjority of them
are Germans and Russians, just
the sort of people who pay us they
so. Whole townships are settling
up with these sturdy men and women
in the Northwestern States and Ter
ritories. In year after arriving,
every adult and child of sufficient
age will be speaking our language
and learning to adapt themselves to
our peculiar institutions. Thus it will
be seen that our country is growing;
growing too, by accretions of the
best possible material.
Allowing the reasonable sum of
thirty dollars to be expended by
each individual emisrant, from the
time of his landing in New York to
his arrival at the place of his desti-
nation anywhere west of the Missis-
sippi river, and we have S2,16O,00O,
disbursed by these people, in six
months, before they have purchased
an acre of land. Moreover this cal
cul ,tion is based upon the arrivals
at one port alone, no account being
taken of the thousands arriving
every day through the Canadas and
the harbovS of Portland, Charleston,
Portsmouth, Boston, Philadelphia,
Savannah and New Orleans. Di-
vidipg the twelve thousand per
month arriving at New York into
families OF five persons each, we
have twenty-four thousand families,
settling upon twenty-four thousand
farms and building for themselves
and the land they have adopted,
twenty-four thousand pleas SAINT homes.
Now we claim that, in discussing
the reputed hard times over which
so many are sinfully grievins, the
facts which our calculation brings to
light should not be lost sight of by
those who would como into posses
sion of true results. We could men
ton other evidences to show that
the country is, even now, on the
up grade towards hopefal prosper
i.y but the subject is too voluminous
for more than one of its sub-divi-
visions to be treated nc a time. 1t
is enough to be able to say that we g
are s owing.

Emigration of New York City an

three thousand per week, and that
they are pushing westward as soon
as they touch the soil. Germans and

chiefly represented.

PREVILEGE TAXES.
Important Circular From Comptroller
Gaines 10 County Judges and
MAGISTRATES,


From the Nashville american, we
learn that Comptroller James l..
Gaines has issued an important ciTcu-
lar. to be distributed over the State,
giving information on the subject OF
privilege taxes. He has also mailed to
the Chairman drudge of each County
Court in the State, a sufficient number
of the "Digest of Taxes on Privileges"
for distribution to each of the Magis-
trates, to enIighten them further on
the subject.
The Comptroller also sends along and
calls attention to the act of the recent
Legislature, entitled IAN Act to more
effectually secure the collection Of
taxes on privileges"
Said act requires each Justice Of the
Peace to furnish to the Chairman Of
the County Court q list of the persons
in his jurisdiction who are engaged in
privileged occupations, not to be pur-
sued without license. \ failure 10 do
so by any Justice subjects him to re-
moyal fer malfeasance. The following
is an enumeration of such occupa'
lions:
Artist and photographed, architects,
brewers, brokers, civil engineers, claim
agents, dealers in county certificates
and warrants, dealers in securities,
dental surgeons, keepers IF fruit stands
billiard tables, Jenny Lind tables, pool
tables, ten pin alleys, bagatelle tables,
keepers of livery stables and hotels,
liquor dealers, plumbers and gas-ht-
tiers, race tracks, dealers in stocks and
bonds, shaveTs Of notes, peddlers OF
sewing machines or persons selling
them by samples, skating Kinks, steam
ferries, cigar stands, theateTs, variety
establishments, drays, hacks, omnI-
buses, express wagons and carts,
transfer wagons and all wheeled We
hicles run for pay or profit, and also
how many circuseS, menGgeFles, side
shows, Gypsy f0rtune-tellers connected
with circus or menRgerie, sleight-of-
hand or legerdemBin shows, and all
other exhibitions for profit, have eX-
hibited in their ward OF district during
the quarter preceding the meeting OF
the Quarterly Court.
The Chairman is required to furnish
list thus obtained to the Comptroller,
with his official sc and signature,
within fifteen days after the adjourn
ment Of each Quarterly Court, and a
failure to do so persisted in will sub
ject such Chairman to removal from
Office.
It is made the duty of the constable
of every district to demand TO see the
receipt for State and county privilege
tax of every manager Of a circus,
menagerie, side-shOw, sleight- of-hand
or Iegerdemain or any other exhibition
for profit; of persons selling patent
rights and of every peddler Of any
articles whatever, whether on foot, in
vehicles, or on horseback and, if said
certificate is not produced, said con-
stable shall. collect the State and
county tax. He must notify the
County Court Clerk Of the same with
in one week, and must pay over the
same within one month after cOllec-
ton, or he will be proceeded against
and his Office declared vacant.

\ story eff pioneer life in E"s' TEES.

The last Issue Of the Sammy South,
published in Atlanta, Georgia, con
fairs thrilling and interesting Story
from the pen of the well known au-
thorass OF our city Mary Faith Floyd"
Mrs. W. G. McAdoo.) The title of
the story is "CaIyeTt's Cave, y True
Story of Pioneer Life in Eastern Ten
uessee.U The Plot is laid at Cal7eIt's
Cave, near the House Mountain, in
the eastern part of Knox county, and
the time is about the year 1890, at
which time that region was almost an
unknown wilderness. In a predatory
note the writer says:
"The basis of the following story is
well known 10 those veTsed in the
earlier history Of Eastern Tennessee.
The tragic events Of this narrative,
somewhat changed III minor pqrticu-
lars, occurred ia the neigh NorbOod Of
KnOx vile, JLaL region so full! Of
romance OF history. No where IN the
Western Continent exist more un>
bounding elements for tie pen OF the
poet, the novelist OF the historian than
in this land of alternate valleys AMI
mountains and of rushing streams Of
unparalleled beauty. No wonder the
aboriginal saVagPs chung 10 this favor
tie section with desperate tebactty, and
disputed with the white man inch by
inch the possession o. so fair a
domain. The particulars OF This story
were told the writer many years ago;
the narrator being venerable lady
since dead. who was born near the
1. I, al. 10 - T2E
The story goes that at this early day
there came to this locality Mr.. Francis
Calvert, collateral defendant Of
Lord Baltimore, having a wife and
two children, they having come hitaer
to enjoy the wild and romantic pion-
eer life. They lived quite happily till
one day Mr.. Calvert was obliged to
visit KuoxvilIe, which was about Il
miles distant, and then an insiguiti
cant village grown around frontier
military post. On his return home
night befel him, and he was attacked
and shot MORALLY by the indians
near his hcme. He crawled into q
cave near by, died and was found
there the next day. From this the
cave took its name. The Indians also
attacked the house, and Mrs. Calvert
fired at them with the rifle, and it was
afterwsrd ascertaind her shot had
killed two and wounded one Of the
savagCs.
Mrs. Calvert went back to her rela-
tives in Annapolis, Md, where they
had formerly lived. There she re-
manned until old age had crept on her
and then came back to Tennessee, to
find the remains of her husband and
remove them to Maryland, She was
unable to find the grave, however,
and after living with a family in the
neighborh0od for some time she mis-
teriousIy disappeared one day, aud
after q long search was found sitting
cold in death in the same Calvert's
cave where her husband died. THE
supersticious country people," says
the writer in conclusion, affirm that,
to this day shrieks and groans
are occasionally heard in
the furihest recesses OF The
cavern and that the dim figures Of Mr.
Calvert and his wife are sometimes
seen gliding about its yawniDg mouth
at the hour of midnight"
The same issue of the Sunny South
also contains a poem entitled Fair
April by Prof. w. G. McAdoo.
