The morning sunlight looked III

pant with strange brightness and
transforming her pale brown hair in
waves of gIistening gold. Said the
sunlight: Maiden, L missed you
from the garden where I used to lind
you every morning, and came here
to seek you. Summer will soon be
here with her rosc3 almC7t as bright
as your cheeks. Are you ILL.," 20,
no." responded the maiden, warming
her thin, bioodle"7 hands in the sum-
beam, only little weak; shall soon
be out in the garden to greet you-t-
morrow perhaps j was just planning
how should arrange my flowers this
year, when you peeped in. Are my
lilies up yet?" dyes, your lilies are
up; have just been warming them.
[ have tired YOU" said the sunlight,
as he noticed the W rily dropping
eyelids; Il will come again tomorrow
if you are not in the garden "-and
silently withdrew, leaving the fair
slumberer alone in the gloom. A few
hours later the moonlight 81 softly

It is the old, old story of consumption.
How she f1stters her victims at morn

evening makes them the prey Of the
spoiler! Statisti show that one third
of mankind die of this disease, and of
til e, far the greater part are young
persons between the ages of fifteen
and twenty-five, in the dawn of man
hood and womanhood. For many
y rs, consumption was generally be.
lievei to be incurable. But medicine
in her triumphant march against dis
ease has already added consumption to
her list of conquered. DR.. Pierce's

dread disease if rc3orted to- in time.

Co,orea Normal school.

MR. EDITOR: Although little has
been said about this school, nevertbe e.
less 1t has been carried on efficiently,
under the excellent management of
Prof. w. P. Hasting, of Maryville.
The school opened on July 7tb, in
the most pleas mt and airy school
room in Knoxville, with about twenty,
but the number b 8 steadily increased
until there are row nearly forty on
the roll. T are divided into Sec
lions, and Ger n students are detailed
to teach each division, thus giving
each student an oppor unity of teach
ing as well as of learning.
Prof. Hastings gives fIequenk
lectures on the methods of teaching
which are intere sting and instructive
and on which the students take notes
aud ful nish essays to be retained for
future use.
Everything is running along
smoothly and about every body has
1me to the conclusion that the
Normal is success and has supplied a
want long felt by the colored teachers
of this section. Visitors are welcome,
and will be amply repaid for their
visit. e,

Lost Ris Leg bx a Thresher.

Horace Keener, son of Joseru
Kcener, who lives up the river few
miles from Knoxville, while oiling
al eight horse power thresher on the
General Brooks farm Thursday, made
a misstep and had the ankle Of his left
leg crushed in fearful manner by tie
levers and cog wheels. DR.. J. P.
Park, our city physician, was called,
and found amputation necessary. He
performed the operation successfully,
taking the leg off just above the ankle,
with the assistance of DR.. McCauley.
Young Keener was resting as well as
could be expected yesterday at last ac-
counts, and there was every reason to
believe that he will get along all right.

message does not appear. The fore
going is the latest official informa,
tion from the seat of war. The
balance of opinion seems to be in
favor of the belief in speedy peace
and the submission Of Cetywayo.One
report which lacks the confirmation,
however, even represents that King
Citywayo would come forward per-
sonally to trial for peace. General
Wolseley has instructed Colonel
Laneyou not to recommence opera

THE New York s,tb0ae observes:
"Now 1t appears that the yellow fe.
yer was brought back to Memphis
through the saving graces of a Mrs.
Mnlbrandon. Some Iriends OF hers
died of yellow fever la3t summer and
she inherited their clothes, which she
carefully packed away. The germs of
the Black Death, as our readers will
remember, were introduced into Rus
sla by o shawl which a Coasack sol
dier brought home to his sweet-he art.
In the case Of the Mulb:andons, the
woman probably was poor, and she
could not bring her mind to waste the
coat. she put it on her husband, ran
the risk, and trusted to luck. He died
the next day. Just as American en-
gineers patch the leak in the boiler
with bran, to save the expense of q
new one, or our city governments
leave sewers putrid with decaying gar
oage, and drains trapless, out of the

would compare favorably with many

G. AMORY STEVENS.
Movements of the Man who is Push.
ing the Railroad Suits.


New York Correspondence PHILADELPHIA
Record:
The suit of the Tennessee State
bondholders against the railroads is
being pressed by Mr.. G. Anory
Stevens, who has charge of the
case on the part Of the plaintiffs.
Mr.. S. has been before the Bar AS
sociation for three days, and is very
hopeful regarding the result,
though efforts have been made to
dissuade him from the prosecution
of the case. He says, however, he
will never give it up until beaten in
the court of last resort. The rail-
roads take the matter comparatively
easy, and appear to dislike more the
vexations that usually attend such
suits than any fears they have of
the result. This is particularly the
feeling of Mr.. Wilson, Who repre-
sents several of the roads interest
ed. At the same time the railways
are now engaged in taking tests
Aony, so as to meet the case fully
equipped. That it may last for
years is not unlikely, as it is be-
lieved the roads will fight it as long
as there is anything to fight. There
is nothing on the face of the bonds
to show that they were issued to the
railroads, and the only thing by
which the bonds could be identified
is their numbers.

When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steam boats, he beat all rivals
by crowding on steam to the utmost.
and even running down his enemy If
necessary, to accomplish a triumph.
When he went into railroading. he
adopted much shrewder and more
successful way, by uniting vast lin
and their tributaries under his own
management, thus capturing all rivals,
by sharing with them the immense
pool of profits that were made by his
skillful manipulation. Messrs. Law

plish much greater success in stock
operations by their new Combination
Method of dealing. By this system
the orders of thousands of customers

Between Blue Springs and the resi-
dence of Claiborne Self, and about nine
miles west of Greeneville, there is a
large and bold spring of flowing
water, enough to turn a mill; and in
fact short distance below this spring
there is a saw mill run by the water
flowing from the spring. About two
weeks ago without any previous indi-
cation of drying up. this spring sud.
denly entirely ceased to flow. It re-
mained in this condition for twenty
four hours when it again commenced
and still continues to flow as before.
What is more remarkable, the oldest
inhabitants say that sixty years ago,
and about this time in the year, the
same thing occurred, and for the same
length Of time. Can this be explained
