CLEOPATRI'S NEEDLE.

Fears have been entertained that there
would be trouble and disappointment
between the Egyptians and Lieutenant
Commander Gorringe about the removal
of CleOpatra's Needle from the land it
now occupies to the city of New York.
The surmise that the monument would
not be surrendered to the keeping of
the American government is put to rest
by a representative of the New York
Herald who recently interviewed the
Khedive on the subject. He says :
" The Khedive received me very cor
daily, in a moderate sized room, fitted
up as a small study, and occupying the
most prominent place was beautiful
map of Africa, the work of Col. Lockett,
formerly Of the Egyptian army and now
professor in the University of Tennes-
see, at Knoxville. / remaTked:-'There
are so many conflicting rumors about as
to the fate of Cleopatra's Needle that l
hope Your Highness will pardon me for
coming to the highest source of inform
alton to ascertain the truth The Khe-
dive replied - There Is no doubt as to
the destination of the Obellsk. It was
formally given by my father to the Unit
ed Statss, and the official letter of pre-
sentation was at the time written by
Cherif Pacha, who was then Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The letter was sent to
the Consul General of the United Statee.
The Obelisk no longer belongs to the
government, but is simply held
at the disposal of the United States. "

MADISON ACADEMY.
FROG Hollow, Tenn, Sept. l. 1879.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
You have been awfully deceived in
regard to the death and suffering of
poor, lamented VascO. He now raises
his melancholy howl round about the
habitation of Collar for the express pur-
pose of informing his weuld-be murder
er that Vasco still lives and rejOices in
the abundance of good mutton to be
found in these regions. Blessed be the
name of Collar for not completing his
bloody work of demolition. He only
gave his victim a good thrashing; and
because the poor fellow played "'pos-
sum" and emigrated to more desirable
fields for adventure he thought that he
had completely annihilated him.
Well, Cousin John, we are all waiting
patiently for the grand demonstration
of celestial fireworks, booked for the
18th inst.
The glorious banner of education is
now waring triumphantly over Frog
Hollow and vicinity. l hope that she
may continue to float, and that her
course may ever be onward and upward,
ennobling our race. Our schools, with
a few exceptions, have done well this
year. our superintendent IOt. uSSuS1
is live man and a worker. He has
procured better class of teachers than
heretofore-men who see and tackle the
great work before them of moulding the
plastic minds of the rising generation.
Not long since l heard a tOeak voice
from Tampico, proclaiming to the world
that prof pavidsen's school at Rut-
ledge had died for want of scholars"
Now let me give the facts. Prof. D.
dismissed his school to accept a better
one in Alabama Just what all OF our
best educators are doing-leaving usi
This is why he dismissed; but the Board
of Trustees of the Academy solicited
him so strongly to remain at Rutledge
that he finally consented to do SO. His
school will be re-opened the 18th inst,
and l predict for it glorious success.

The Cooke county court house ques-

of Cooke county VS.. John Woods, was
decided by the Supreme Court last
week. that body declaring the order of
the County Court removing the county
seat to "Murray's Allen Barn" void and
imperative, because based upon an
election at which less than two-thirds of
the votes cast at the preceding election
for Governor were polled in favor of the
place to which the removal was ordered.
This leaves the question in about the
same fix it has been in for years.

THE GREAT CLOTHING HOUSE.

Mammoth is the word ! 1t is the only
word that will at all convey an idea of
the stock of clothing and gents furnish
ing goods which 10. McTeer, the Knox
vile clothier, has bought for the fall and
winter trade. 1t is the mammoth stock
in the history of Knoxville and of East
Tennessee, and is so complete that no
living man or boy can fail to find in it
something that he wants and ought to
have. This mammoth clothing estab-
lishment is owned and presided over by
the we'll known and universally popular
10. McTeer, who is without a superior
as clothing merchant, as he is one of
those thoroughly wide awake and big
hearted gentlemen that it is always pro.
f1table and pleasant to deal with. No
one visiting Knoxville should fail to go
to his splendid store. His stock IS large,
elegant and complete. There is some
thing to suit every taste. The working
man, the prudent man, the beau, the
expectant bridegFoom-in short, every
man can find there just exactly what he
wants and at prices to suit. Don't take
our word for it, but try for yourself.
