and they spent the afternoon on the
water. At this point high hills and
great cedar bluffs overlook the river,
and the scenery is perhaps equal to
any in East Tennessee. Some of the
young ladies climbed one of the bluffs
as far as possible and cut their names
imperishably as lovers VOWS high on
the face Of the solid limestone. For
three miles above, the river forms a
sort Of lake, very deep and broad,
where boating is splendid. Just be-
low, the river passes over three shoals
Of rock about fifteen yards apart,
making fall altogether of eight feet.
A solemn roar as of distant wind
storm is ever heard there. Malindy's
will be remembered as a good place
for picnic party.

HOnors TO Madame Thicrs.

New York Evening Postl
Madame Theirs has been the recipi-
ent of marked attentions during the
celebration in France in honor of her
husband. Her journey from Paris to
Nancy was like a royal progress.
Every where the mayors, the projects
and sub-prefects presented themselves
as if she had been an empress, and at
Nancy she was received by an escort
of cavalry and by all the prominent
dignitaries of the neighborhood. She
was the guest Of the city. The mar
ket women came in a delegation to
bring her a crown of flowers, and the
orators laid their speeches before her
that she might indicate any criticisms
which she would like to make. She
was given the place Of honor on the
official platform, which, loaded with
Velvet and gold was raised in front Of
the statue dedicated to her husbands
memory.

THE GREAT GOLD MINE.
DeIvlng in the Deepest Hole In the Union.


Virginia City Cor. Boston TraVeller.l
VIII you go down with me and see
this lower city?
All the shafts sink into the Com
stock lode, which was discovered in
1857. This vein has been traced for
live miles, but nowhere has a width
of more than four hundred feet.
Claims are located on its length, the
owner having no width or depth of
his workings.
This lode is the biggest and richest
yet discovered in the United States.
1t is worked by the famous Consoli-
dated Virginia Mine, better known as
the big Bonanza" which has paid
hundreds of millions to Messrs.
Mackey, Flood q 0'Brien. Besides
this shaft and almost equally famous,
are the Kentucky, Yellow Jacket.
Crown Point, Savage and Norcross,
and the Belcher mine. This last is
situated in Gold Hill and is the one
which gave up its bullion to Senator's
Jones and Sharon. As it is the deep
est we attempt its descent. We enter
the Office of the company, six in our
party, four gentlemen and two ladies.
We are given separate apartments,
and furnished with a blue woolen
suit, like a Vineyard" bathing cos
tune; big heavy brogans, wooden socks,
and an old hat for which we care to
exchange every article of clothing we
have on. A few moments brings us
together merry crowd. A young
gentleman gives us a lantern, a rela-
tive Of Senator Sharon, and accom-.
panies us into the great building that
contains the hoisting machinery over
the shaft. High up in the heavy tim.
ber over our heads, over large wheel.
passes a steel band about six inches
wide and a quarter of an inch thick.
This band coils at one end over huge
drum connected with the engines and
at the other end drops into hole
about six inches square, and is lost in
the steam and vapor arising from this
pit.
The young gentleman rings a bell,
and up comes the rope, seemingly
endless. At last the motion slackens
and hanging in the air we see the
cage" Nov don't imagine any gilt
or wioker-work prison for songsters
but picture an iron open elevator such
as is used in the wholesale houses Of
your city This cage is double, one
above the other. Its base is like q
grating made to fit the wheels of the
cars that bring up the ore. Two Of
these cars are rolled off on their tracks
TO the dumps, and we take their
places. The ladies, with two Of the
gentlemen, step on the grating, take a
firm hold of a bar overhead, aud shout
Ready" Down drops the cage six
feet, Then we step on over theil
heads. We pull bell and begin tc
whistle. Down, down, down, what .
strange sensation
The candle fickers, the wall,
around US drip with water, the steam
and hot air rush up by us, for thi,
shaft is an "upcast.' We are wet e

The Ohickasaw Guards, the crack
Memphis company whose bright but
tons and uniforms played sad havoc
with the hearts of the young ladies of
Tennessee in the ante-fever days, will
arrive in this city. on Saturday to take
part in the competitive drill on the
Fair grounds. On their arrival, they
will be received and escorted to their
place Of encampment by the First
Regiment Of Infantry of the National
Guards, and the st. Louis Cadets of

serves. The Chickasaw Guards have
made a good record in every contest
in which they have hitherto engaged,
and our warriors must look to their
laurels. To belong to the Chicks, as
they are fOndly termed, is the highest
ambition Of the young Memphian, the
ne plus ultra of his aspirations. Give
him that and he asks for nothing else.

PROBABLY one of the best indiea-
tions of returning business and indus
trial activity is the decline of the
tramp. He is reported to have disap-
peared from New England, and in the
Middle States his numbers have de-
creased in a marked manner. The
same is true of the West, while in the
South he has never prevailed to any
great extent. The tramp laws passed
in different States have had very little
to do with the disappearance of the
pest. No attempt has been made to
enforce them. After all, the tramp is
not so bad as popular prejudice has
painted him. Exceptional cases have
been generally accepted as typical Of
the class. He merely wanted work,
aud tramped in search of it. What
laws could not effect, prosperity has
done. The tramp plague may be con-
sidered ended Those who are willing
to work will get occupation.

Tobacco Cutting.


Clarksville Tobacco Leaf, Sept 1871
Farmers are cutting great deal of
tobacco now. The crop has come out
wonderfully since the rains com
menced, but we fear that too much
will be cut green. The crop can't be
as rich and gummy asanticipated some
weeks ago. The rains have been so
frequent as to keep the gum washed
off; several days after rain being
necessary for tobacco to thicken and
ripen. However the crop will be leafy
and but little worm eaten, from which
some good stock can be obtained.
Farmers should pay special attention
to curing, and remember that red or
bright leaf is more in demand than
the dark, smutty color, which gen
orally results from cutting too green
and trying to cure dark or black.

A surprising degree of cheek is ex-

week they smuggled an appeal for
charity into the Associated Press tele-
grams in some unaocountable manner
but were promptly exposed on the
following day as an organization of
irresponsibles with no claim whatever
on the sympathy OF the purses of the

another urgent invitation to all men
to contribute to their necessities. al

furnishes medicines, physicians and
nurses, but no victuals, the latter he

are, they complain with sublimitv of
assurance rarely equaled, that no food

subscribed to enable them to eat and
drink without being compelled to en-

North to this demand. IF thew

1t now looks as if there were to be
some little trouble in the quinine
market In fact there has been a
break already Before noon on Mon
day the price of the Wholesale firms
to druggists was $3.50 per ounce, as it
had been for long time. In the af-
ternoon a druggist entered large
wholesale house and inquired as to
the price, desiring to make a pur-
chase. Much to his surprise he was
told that he could have the article at
$3.50 per ounce, and if he took large
quantity, 1925 only would be required
He then went to another house and
asked the price, which was given at
$3.50, the old rate. He then said he
could get the drug for $3.50, when he
was told that az could get it at the
same figure, although the lower price
seemed to hurt the wholesaler very
much when he made the proposition.
Yesterday the lower prices were still
maintained, all the dealers being will
ing to dispose of it at those rates. 1t
is said that considerable money has
already been lost in this article.
