The Boston Advertiser says: San
amusing incident occurred in one of our
popular churches last Sunday, that de-
serves to be recorded. A stout lady
during the sermon exhibited symptoms
of fainting, when young physician,
not much more than half her weight,
calamity put his arms about her waist
and dragged her into the aisle but was
unable to take her farther. One of the
deacons came to the rescue, and seiz-
ing the lady by the pedal extremities,
the two carried her bodily out into the
vestibule, where she speedily "came
to" and Indignantly demanded of her
kind friends what she had done that
she should be so forcibly removed, the
truth being that she was only indulging
in good nap.n

British Ideas of Right.

A correspondent writing fIom Eng
land says:
''Short of downright murder, there is
scarcely any limit to the injury an
EngliShman may intiict on his wife
without danger of punishment. If the
woman is SO beaten and trampled upon
as to be seriously and permanently dis
abled, the brute may be sent to Jail for
eighteen months longer, and
often not more than six months. For
ordinary beatings and bone breallings
not involving lasting injury, the SEN
fences vary from fifteen days to three
months imprisonment. If the injured
person is not the wife of her assailant
the sentence may he slightly heavier,
but not much. An instance occurs to
me where man poked out the eye of
Il business rival with whom he had
quarrelled. | think his sentence was
less than three months imprisonment.
But if the most trivial theft is charged
there is il vast difference in the punish
ment. From the tow-headed urchins,
aged from six to ten years, who become
the special object of the wrath of the
country Dogberries for stealing turnips
or picking flowers in an enclosure, up
to the half-starving street-walker who
snatches -and-siXpenny scaIf-pin
from her tipsy companion on the Strand,
the debased Briton is carefully taught
by criminal punishment that he who
takes what isn't his'n, when he's caught
must go to prison. "-EUening Post.

A SPECIMEN DELINQUENT and
then we come across delinquent sub

have sympathy for folks who can't paw
for paper, but when man takes one

writes that he hasn't dollar that we
can get at, and advises US "not to Run

DIsTINCTIoN.-We could never vet
understand the reason why the man
who sells yard of cloth, or a hoe. or
an axe, or pair of shoes, is regarded
by the community as better or more
respectable individual than he who
made those articles. Nor can we see
why a man who sells barrel of flour.
or ships it off to another country. is
thought to be entitled to higher posi-
ton among his fellows than he who
raises the wheat from which it was
manufactured. Distinction should not
rest on the place which we occupy. bnt
upon the dignity and excellence with
which we fill it.

Knights of Honor.

We extract the following from an
official circular to subordinate
Lodges of Tennessee, by the Grand
Dictator.
We had in the Jurisdiction OF
Tennessee, during the late epidem-
ic, 1873 deaths from Yellow Fever;
there was outside of Tennessee, a
loss to the order, from the same
cause, OF about 40. BY the liberality
of our brothers North, South, East
and West, there was contributed
for our relief, upwards of thirteen
Thousand dollars. How wisely and
judiciously that amount was eKpend
Ell, numbers of our mem bers, their
widows ard orphans can testify.
Propably,in our history, such a test
OF our stability will never again oc-
chr to the Order. Our total losses
will necessitate not exceeding seven
extra assessments; our ordinary
losses for the current year of 1878,
will not exceed eleven-making a
total expense of eighteen dollars on
each member, for year. upon a
policy of $4,000. Our losses will
all be paid as fast as proper proofs
of the same are made out and for
warded, and | feel assured That by
the 1st of February, 1879, our loss
will have been paid in full, without
an toto of expense to the beneficial
ries entitled thereto.
Can it be longer doubted, 10y any
practical business man, that our
Order offers the safest, cheapest
and simplest mode of insurance
known, besides other social and
practical benefits secured by our
association. Within the next 80
DAYS the families of deceased mem
bers, in this State, will have re
ceived two hundred and seventy
six thousand dollars together with
the voluntary aid and contributions
received, makes a record upon
which l confidently assert, will in
sure for us, within twelve months,
in Tennessee, a membership of ten
thousand.

Gold Below Par.

Special to the Cincinnati Com
mere al: The gold dollar threatens
to be a drug in the market. Bust
ness men here report that they find
it hard to pass them, customers, es
pecially those of the new genera
tons who have grown up since this
dollar has been in retirement, refus
lag them GA account or size. 1t il
thought that this will open the way
for the silver dollar to advance to
the front. Either the unpopularity
of gold dollars or scarcity of small
bills is opening brisk demand for
standards, and they Are being or
dered from the Treasury faster
than sanguine silver men antic.pat
ed. Treasury officials are pleased
with this, as they allege the space
occupied by standards in vaults is
useful for other purposes. The
banks report various experiences
with gold. The majority of the
customers don't care for it and pre-
fer paper. In banking circles a
slight premium on paper is freely
predicted One bank here offers
gold to all customers, and less than
half receive 1t from choice.

A Proposed Convention.

A Charlotte man has started "A
novel movement for the purpose OF
effectually refuting the lies that the
Republican party are scattering
broadcast as a part of the campaign
of 1880. He has issued a circular
calling a convention of the north
ern men who have settled in the
South since the war. He proposes
to let Northern men tell Northern
men about the condition of the
South, socially and otherwise
The Raleigh Observer, in it's notice
of the movement, says: ave believe
that a formal utterance of opinion
and conviction from men of North
ern birth and education, who have
lived amongst us, will be OF service
to the South, and we hope that this
effort will be successful. Ii they
believe not even them, neither will
they believe one though he should
rise from the grave. We want the
Northern people to believe the
truth, but if they will cot, we give
them the assurance that If they can
stand it we can.

The radiant star which the. wise
men followed has withdrawn its
glImmering rays and the glad carol
of the shepherds that have come
down through all centuries has died
away; and now, Mr. Editor, while
we stand in the twilight Of new
year, we can think of nothing that
would be more interesting to US, in
scanning the columns of your valu-
able paper than to see a communI-
cation from our quiet hamlet, Civ
ing "Reminiscences of some of the
pleasant scenes enjoyed during the
merry holidays We have been the
recipients Of several pleasant visi-

able occasion of the season was a

your good fortune to merge from
the dark clump of trees in front OF
the elegant mansion of DIR. j. L.

rays of light flooding each Windows
and the chatter of voices, accomEa-
MED by outbursts of merry laugh

the occasion of which we give a
glancing note was one of inexprVss
IDLE joy and gladuess to the hearts
Of the little party OF invited guests
who had been welcomed to cele
bra5e the anniversary of the beauti-
full and accomplished Miss Mary
Mccoy. Six o'clock was announced
by the ring of the supper bell and
all repaired to the dining room
where justice was done to a large
variety of tastefully selected O. and
arranged eataoles which just exact
ly delighted the eye and impaired
satisfaction to- the most diabolical
appetite. A beautiful silver cup
and pitcher with the compliments Of
the host and hostess occupied a
conspicuous place on the table.
After supper the time passed pleas
antly until the ''wee sma" hours
came on and with them the sad
parting. 1t was an occasion long
to be remembered and one that
brought back upon the silver tipped
wings of memory recollections OF
days past, when hallowed associa-
tions were thrown around US
like the soul stirring notes of a
school day melody, it brought back
Memories sweet of joys departed,
Happy days forever past;
Days of blissful dreams and gladness,
All too beautiful to last.

There is much exuberance of
graduation to-day in the favored
circles over the fact that resump-
ton seems to be about accomplish
ed. We shall not complain of such
rejoicings, especially as the end
achieved is really and greatly valu
able. We are not of those, howev
er, who hold the creed that the end
jusitifies the means. The diverse
picture to the gayety in the parlors
of funded capital is fearful wreck
and crush of fortunes sacrificed for
their benefit among the population
North, South, East and West. and
we can not avoid sympathizing
With the millions of sufferers, rath
er than with the jolity of the few
benefciaries. Sherman has landed
his craft in the golden horn of mo
nometallic solvency, but the ballast
he has thrown overheard is worth
five times more than all the gold in
the Treasury and the mints.--[ G. J.

A Fatal Shot.

On Monday, Dec. 2Srd, Thomas
Lane and James Haynes, living near
Cotton Grove, in this county, had a
personal difficulty, which resulted
in killing of Haynes by Lane. The
difflcultygrew out of trivial matter,
and had it not been for n little
too much whisky, it might have
been adjusted without bloodshed.
Haynes was unarmed at the time he
was fired on by Lane, and made no
resistance whatever. Lane has
the reputation of being a quiet,
peaceable man, and Haynes that of
a true, brave and generous man.
His remains were carried to his
home in Henry county for inter
ment. Lane made his escape after
the shooting and has not yet been
heard FROM Jackson Dispatch.

Washington Post: The honest
farmer and the intelligent mechanic
are beginning to suspect that there
are too few of their sort In Con
gross. Sixty of the seventy-six
Senators and two hundred aud
ninety two members OF the house
are lawyers, but as they didn't
elect themselves The fault is not
theirs that they are so numerous
If the farmers aud mechanics desire
TO change things In this regard
they have the matter in their own
hands. They do most of the vot-
ing. 1t is not in good taste for
them TO find fault with their own
work.
