THE LIoN's FEAR OF MAS.-Litens-
tein says: that the African hunters avail
themselves of the circumstance that the
lion does not spring upon his prey till he
has measured the ground, and has reach
cd the distance of ten or twelve PAGES,
when he lies crouching upon the ground,
gathering himself for the effort. The
hunters. he says, make a rule never to
fire upon lion till he lies down at this
short distance, SO that they can aim d.
recly at the head with perfect certainty.
He adds, that il a person has the misfor-
tune to meet 9 lion, his only hope is to
stand perfectly still, even though the
the animal crouches to make a spring
that spring will not be hazarded, il the
man has only nerve enough to remain
lnotlon!ess as statue, and look steadily
at the lion. The animal hesitates, rises
slowly, retreats some steps, looking
earnestly about him, lies down, again
retreats, till having thus by degrees got
quite out OF what he seems to feel as Che
magic circle Of mans influence, he takes
his fight in the utmost haste.

TO LOsgsSlv4sSEsseS.

Tho publishers Of the New Orleans Times
wish especially at this time that every citizen
of this State should he ii subscriber reader of
the Times. Questions of the greatest iInpor-
lance to Loulsianailre pending waiting solution.
A convention of her delegates are now in SeS-
sion drafting an organic law fpr adoption to
replace the present constitution and which II
is hoped will radically reform those fearful
abuses, wastetall eNtraVagancics and gross in
justices which have been nurtured by it and
have grown up underit. The subject of re>tlic-
tive quarantine as 20 its efficacy lfi preventing
the introduction of the scOrge of yellow fever
and its acknowledged bghtiSE effects upon the
business and prosperity OF the city of New Or
leans and the State, is now euSr0SSing to a
large extent public attention. Other vital ques-
tions such as labor, immigration, railroad com
municatuns with our nelShbOring State of
Texas, removal of the State capital, etc, de-
! manl constant consideration and tliscnsson
The publishers of the Times refer with pride
to the position taken by the Times all of
these questions. Their inspiring motive has
been the good OF the State and her people, for
upon her prosperity, development and growth
depend their compensation and reward. From
! no other source can they expect to subservc
| these ends.
The thorough independence of the Times, its
strength. courage and consistency i'll the discus
sion of all questions. its interchangeable and per
siSteHt labors to restore the wOnted prosperity
| of the South, have made 1t recognized through
out the country as the leading utllern Journal
and made it quoted everywhere rs the repre-
sentative Of the best Southern thought and
opinion.
| The publishers wish that a copy may he
placed in the hands Of every citizen OF this State.
that he may judge by perusal Of its merits, of
| its consistency, OF its motive.
| As a newspaper giving all the news of the
| days: as IA commercial paper, showing all the
movements of business and commerce ; as an
| organ of the people, representing and cOnScrV-
ing their best and highest interests, they claim
the Times to be without riYrl in the South,
| Too meet the general slri1fkage in values. the
subscription price OF the Times has been mater

(RtchmOnd DISPATCH.

tRtchmond Dspatch.l
The colored population has q great
number of churches here as in Washing
ton. The Baptist and Methodist denon-
nations claim most of the negroes who
are inclined to piety. Six colored
church societies in Richmond aggregate
almost $4,000 members, and one church
alone has had an increase of 1869 MEM
beers this, year. The negrow, Sabbath
schools are all astonishingly large and
we'll attended every Sunday by, 500 or
600 members each. The cOlored Bap-
lists far outnumber the sable Methodists.
OF benevolent orders and associations
for half q hundred purposes, the black
population has so many that it seems as
if every man, woman and child, not
white, in this city must be member of
some one or two societies, MasOns and
Odd Fellows, "knights of Damon"
whatever that might be) and True Re-
formers are these humble folk almost
without exception. Colored temper
aDce societies are very numerous, and
the Fidelity, Friendly, Charity. Good
will, Social greeting, Honesty and Chris.
tian welfare divisions OF the Grand
State Order of the Sons of Temperance
hold very frequent meetings. The col
ored population needs temperance soci-.
eties,t for liquor does its insidious work
among them with great effect. Some Of
the societies have overwhelmingly funny
names, and among them are the indie
pendent Daughters and the rising Sons
of Messiah, the Silver Star Daughters,
tho Sons and Daughters of Ruth, the
Rising Daughters Vineyard, the Eas-
tern Star Daughters, the Pilgrim Travel
ers, the Daughters of King Solomon
talmOst as numerous as the old fellows
wives were,) tire Star OF Venus, the
Seven Wise Men (Which, curiously
enough, has membership of twenty
three,) the Lords Delight, the Living
Council of the Cross, the Seven Won
ders Of the World, the Gold Key, the
Undertakers' Union Cheerful Dame,)
the Lily of the Valley, the Working
Sons Of Hope, the Sons and Daughters
of Moses, the Secret Sons of Love, the
Starlight Club, the Galileans, and others
decidedly too numerous to mention.

a SERIoRs ERRoR.-So many people
rush unthinkingly into matrimony !!
Marriage is so often the result of cir
cumstances which throw two persons
together-of consideration of the fitness
of things-of momentary impulses, or of
cool deliberation--that which should be
the happiest state of things is often the
unhappicst, And people speak of a
wedding as they would lottery, where
there are more blanks than prizes. The
only true matches are made by love, and
when two people have really loyed-re-
ally loved from the depths of their very
hearts-nothing can ever quite part
them again. We do not say this Of
those who have only been called, or
called themselves, lovers. A couDle
may be engaged, or, it may be, even
married, and yet that wonderful tie Of
great love may never have existed be-
tween them. When it does exist. all
the waters cannot quench it, nor
the seas cover it. Forever and
fOrever-at least in the forever of
life-those two are more than any two
who have not loved can be. Sometimes
happy fate actually unites two who love
thus, and they live long happy life
together.

PROYERRS.

The following proverbs are so ap'
plicable to SEINE of our subscribers
that we cannot refrain from copying
them and asking the attention of our
readers to them. We do not refer
to the class who pay US now and
then at reasonable intervals. We
refer to those who do not pay at all,
though they have regularly read the
GAZETTE for years. 1t is absolute
" mean to do SO without at least
making an effort to pay. They
ought at least to send us the postage
we prepay in cash for them.
"a wise son maketh glad father"
and prompt paying subscriber causeth
an editor to laugh.
Folly is joy that is destitute of wis
dom, but delinquent subscriber caus-
eth suffering in the house of newspaper
maker.
All the ways of man are clear in his
own eyes, except the way the delinquent
subscriber hath in not paying for his
newspaper.
Better is little with righteousness,
than a thousand subscribers who faileth
to pay what they owe.
A just weight and balance are the
Lords but that which is due on your
newspaper is the publishers thereof.
Better is dry morsel and quietness
thereof, than long list of subscribers
who cheateth the printer.
Better is poor man who walketh in
integrity, and payeth his subscription
than rich man who continually telleth
the "devil" to call again.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,
is proverb sadly realized by the pub
Usher who sendeth out bills.
A righteous man hateth lying, hence
the editor waxeth wrath against the sub
scriber who promises to call and settle
on the morrow, yet calleth not to settle.
1t biteth like serpent and stingeth
like an adder, when the adder gets
through adding up the amounts due form
his subscribers.

lately removed by Secretary Sher'
man from the Office of revenue agent
in Tennessee. He is one of the vic
Tins of the Sherman boom, being q

gentlemen composing the school last
year The Academy is under Director
ship of Prof. Gust r. Knabe, than
whom, in all that pertains to his calling,
no more experienced and efficient teach
er of music can be found in the South
1t is the aim of Prof K. in this school
to give thorough and systematic instruc-
tion-to make beginners acquainted
with the rudiments of music in. the very
shortest time, to instruct piano and or
gan students in the art of training the
fingers and hands according to the most
approved methods, and to initiate them
into the beauties of good music-parlor
as well as classic. Special attention is
given to those who expect to become
teachers. The school is largely patron.
lied by the best families Of Knoxville
those a5uBdantly able to send their sons
and daughters abroad for such instruc-
tion did they not believe they had as
competent teacher in their midst. We

in music on any one or all of |
the popular musical instruments of the |
day.
