THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
for 1880.

TAKE an actlVe part III the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, az the same
time, keep its readers fully posted
on all the important events of the
day. It will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infar
nous schemes.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues Of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. It will con-
tain q choice selection Of miscells-
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
Guided. 1t will be the object Of the
publishers to make it a welcome
visitor into the families Of the
country.
It's market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart.
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics Of interest will be invited
The proprietors of these two ole
and well established journals viii
spare no pains to keep up and ado
to their established reputation, anc
are confident that they will maxi
them worth many times more thar
the subscription price charged.

RIPE TOMATO SALAD,
Notable SWIMMING Feat.

Swimming, like pedestrianism, would
seem to be one of the progressive sciences,
the feats of Capts. Webb and Boyton ex-
ceeding those Of Byron and Lieut.. Eken-
head as far as the /" long distance record,
of Weston and O'Leary surpasses that
of Christopher Forth. Byran's famous
passage of the Hellespont, despite the
slanting course into which he was driven
by the current, fell somewhat short of
four miles, although the struggle with
the tremendous rush of water must
necessarily have been a very exhausting
one. A more respectable, though less
known, feat was seven-mile swim against
the tide from Lisbon to Belem Castle,
an exploit equaled by one of Edgar Poe's
youthful a~chievments. Capt. Marryat's
"swim ashore" from his ship, at Ports
mouth, in his midshipman days, was
made memorable rather by the roughness
of the sea and the fact of its being done
in his clothes than by the actual distance,
which was but q little over two miles.
A Shetland fisherman, wrecked with his
family upon the bare rock 10 miles from
the nearest of the Farce islands, swan
the distance in quest of help, which he
fortunately obtained in time. A Span
iso deserter is said to have crossed the
Straits of Gibraltar, 10 miles wide, but
the story rests upon doubtful authority.
MI. ]. B. Wilson, who attempted the
Channel previous to Capt. Webb's sue.
cess, accomplished between seven and
eight miles, or about one-third of the
entire distance. The astounding feats
ascribed by tradition to the Greek
Islanders and the natives of the Poly.
nesian Archipelago are probably to be
accepted with considerable reserve.-N.

to do . great many thing, saw the cranes
trouble, took pity on him, and went to
work to help him. He made . wooden

managed TO fasten it to the poor cripple,

The table upon which Napoleon III
signed the declaration of war by France
against Prussia, at st. Cloud in July,
1870, has been just added, with the sane
ton Of the German Emperor, to the Hob
enzollern Museum in Berlin. When
st. Cloud vas bombarced and occupied
BY the German troops during the opera
lions against Paris, the table wa saved
and taken in the first place to Versailles
and afterwards to Berlin. The table is
round, about five feet in diameter, and
covered in the centre with green cloth;
the outer rim of the top being of ebony,
richly inlaid with mother-of.pearl and
various metals, and bound with an orna-
mented gold ring. Under the top of the
table are six drawers of the form of .
truncated segment of q circle, and each
provided with q cunningly constructed
lock; the inner part of drawers being of
mahogany, the outside of a quantity cary
ed and inlaid mother-of-pearL. BY the
side of the table stands an armchair
covered with green leather, which was
sent to Napoleon III. At Wilhelmsbohe.

Some Striking Instances Of Presence
of Mind.

Presence of mind has lately proved
valuable in several interesting cases.
Henry Kuhn, ct the bottom Of q Du-
buque we'll, drove his pickax into the
side, and stood under it when he saw the
earth laden bucket falling, thus saving
himself from being crushed. John
Carey, when lightning struck the New
Haven mill of which he was foreman,
knocked down three of the panic-stricken
operators, who were madly rushing to-
ward the narrow exit and 30 preventing
a dangerous jam on q stairway. Mrs.
Dunkin of Long Prairie, Mimi, was
threatened with An Ak by her crazy son.
She said: "Well, ii you want to cut my
head of, let's 60 to the chopping block"
He nodded, and they passed out to the
wood pile. 1t was dark, and addressing
him with, CHOW, I'll put my head on
the block" she drew the white kerr
chief from her neck and threw it
down and slipped away. The lunatic
struck the kerchief a heavy but
harmless blow. Julia Clarke, q San
Francisco factory girl, was caught in a
machine by her long hair. She seized a
pair of shears and cut off her tresses 30
quickly that abe was not drawn between
the wheels and killed, as she otherwise
would have been. Ten men started down
the shaft of q Nevada mine in a small
skip. The donkey engine broke, and the
miners felt their vessel sink dow inward
with lightning speed. Deathly fear
turned every face white. In the panic
most of them clutched the skip to wait
for the crash. At the first intimation of
disaster, Patrick Mccarthy, the engi-
neer At the top of the shaft, seized a
heavy plank and thrust the end between
the pigeon shaft and the reel from which
the cable was running out. The drum
friction Produced Gre and streams Of
smoke. But the engineers thrust was
exactly at the right point, and the end
of the board soon checked the descent,
bringing the skip to a standstill a few
feet from the bottom.-Mw York Sun.

RECIPES.
COCOANUT PUDDING.

One quart of milk, one cup of cocoa.
nut, three crackers, two eggs, butter the
size of an egg, salt and sugar to taste.
APPLE FRITTERs.
One quart of milk, four eggs beaten
light, the whites to be added last thing;
salt and -four enough to make a batter;
q bowl full of very finely sliced apples.
LETTUCE DRESSING.
Five eggs beaten together, a level
teaspoon OF salt, same Of pepper, table
spoon each of butter, cream and mixed
mustard, and half a teaspoon of weak
vinegar. Put all into a tin bucket, and
place it in a vessel of boiling water, stir
ring all the time until it thickens.
When cold, add four tablespoons of
salad-oil.
TO REMOVE sUNBURN.
Milk of almonds, obtained at the
druggists, is as good as anything to use,
and to keep wrinkles out of the face use
tepid water instead of cold; if the wrin.
kles are deep-seated apply a little tur-
pentine to the wrinkles for a few nights
before retiring. Some ladies use a patch
of court plaster for the wrinkles, which
soon eradicates these emblems of care
and age.
ENGLISH PICKLE.
Two quarts vinegar, two ounces curry
powder, two ounces mustard. Rub
curry powder and mustard together with
half a pint salad oil; add the vinegar,
one ounce turmeric, half a pound sugar
and boil together five minutes. To pre-
pare the pickles take small cucumbers,
nasturtiums, caulifowers, onions, etc.
Let them stand in brine thirty-six hours.
Then drain, put in jars and pour wei
them the above mixture boiling hot.
Ready for use in a month.
sTEwED CORN.
Remove the grains from the ear by
scoring the ear with a sharp knife, then
using the back of the knife to rub off the
kernels. When corn is even old, by
doing this the tough skin on the grains
remains on the cob. Take "a ears and
remove as above the kernels; keep the
cobs, which put in water, just enough to
cover them, and let them boil a half
hour; in this water put corn kernels,
adding a tablespoonful of cream, a tea.

q Clay W. Iron.'s

from the evening WlScOublu, AHWauA0es
A few days ago We passed the elegant new
residence OF our townsman George Bossert,
with Pfster 4 vogel) No. 179 Franklin street,
and were wondering what oil those clay pipes
meant piled up in front of his house. They
could not be intended neither for sewers nor
for water. Our curiosity induced us to enter
and there we found masons at work TO erect
the first clay heater at Milwaukee. Just think
Of it, . furnace built entirely OF clay. At the
east, we were told, these heaters are IN use for
several years, giving perfect satisfaction on
account Of their pure, healthy air, free from all
poisonous gases, such a. will be produced py
iron furnaces. The agents here, Messrs. VIM.
Frankfurth l. Co., No. 367 Third street, say
that in these clay heaters, coal, wood or coke
can bs used, that they require less fuel thar
iron furnaces, and hardly any repairs. II all is
trne that is claimed in favor Of the clay heater,
there will be quite q revolution IN the furnace
trade. Somehow We believe that meSars. VIM:

thing. They are sole agents for Wisconsin,
and will gladly give All information.

from the great financial pfossnre under which
We have labored for the last few years. Dt-
minished wages have not been attended by a

thing which the ~workingmAn needs. Rents,
fuel, food and clothing, are cheaper, but these

sometimes necessary for him to employ law
yer or a physician, yet the fee rates OF phy:'-
clans and lawyers are as high as they were IN
"iush'' times. Yetcheap medicines are as nec-
essary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap medi-
cines are not necessarily poor medicines. II
must be obvious to every intelligent person
that medicines, compounded and put up at
wholesale, can be sold ut much lower rates
than when retailed from the doctors pill bags.

DOUBLE AND QUADRUPLE sUNs.-The associa- tion of two suns naturally suggest the possible union of greater number, forming mere con- plicated systems This idea has been verified large number of triple systems has been dis covered. In few instances, guadrupe sets have been found-of which remarkable ex- ample exists ln the constellation of the Harp. Here we found four suns, arranged iii pairs of two. The components of the first pair revelve around each other in about ], ,000 years those of the second pair appear to require about dou- ble that period; while the pair revolve about the other in period which determined roughly from their distance, cannot fall much below million of years! The evidence of the physi- cal union of these four stars into one grand system leach being great central sun, with it's attendant planetary system, though these attendant worlds are invisible from Earth. rests, at present, on the ascertained fact that their proper motions are the same.
 From quadruple systems we rise, by analo- gy, still higher, until we find hundreds, some times thousands, of stars competed together in so small compass that their proximity can not be the effect of accident. Look at the beautiful little cluster called the Pleiades; an ordinary eye may there see six or seven stars. One of very great power has been known to count fourteen in this group, while the telescope increases the number to hundreds and yet the space in which they are located might easily be covered by the moon.
 Suppose an indifferent scattering of the stars through space, and compute the chances that such number would fall together at any one point, and we shall find not one chance out of millions in favor of such an accident. We are therefore forced to the conclusion that here is more magnificent order-one in which hun dreds of suns, surrounded by their subordinate worlds, are all united in one grand system. This is not solitary example. Many of these beautiful objects, comparatively close to our sun, are found in the heavens-leading the mind gradually up to the contemplation and exami. nation of that mighty system of systems, that great cluster of clusters, the MILKY WAY, of which all these are but subordinate groupings, vast in themselves. but when compared with the whole, mere units among the millions of which it is composed. d.-lMitcleps ''Ords cf He0Uen."
