KINGSTON, TENN, July l3.
Mr.. EDITOR: The continued drought
is greatly injuring crops in Roane and
adjoining counties we have had no
rain of consequence in over three
weeks, and the weather has been as
hot as we ever experienced.
The river is so low that the Harry

It is the general understanding that
Col. Scott, of st. Louis, has bought
the Oakdaie Iron Mining Company
property, and will shortly set num-
ber OF hands to work, which will great
ly enliven business matters with US.
Work is being rapidly pushed on the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad, and the
cars will soon be running to Emory
Gap. The keystone Bridge Compa-
N.Y." are bridging Emory river, and
will probably have the bridge com.
pleted by the first Of August. Col. r.

i FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, July 15.-A Berlin COR
respondent of the Times says: The
key of Prince Bismarck's present
policy towards the Vatican will be
found in one of his recent speeches,
in which he said that it was praise
worthy, under certain circum-
stances, to fight the quarrel out to
the bitter end, but when ways and
means presented themselves of
toning down the acerbity of the
conflict without affecting the prin-
ciple at stake, he would not deem
himself justified in neglecting
such preferred opportunity
The correspondent believes that
most that has been accorded to u
tramontaines is that, in conse>
quence of the retirement of DR..
Falst from the Ministry of Eccle.
siastical Affairs, ecclesiastical laws
have been enforced with more len
iency than if he had remained in
Office, and that this may ultimately
have the effect of procuring the
recognition of the ecclesiastical
laws by the Vatican.

UNION DEPOT. July 14th, 1879.
Mr. EDITOR: Permit me to use a
little space In your valuable journal to
correct gross misrepresentation
which appeared in arecent article pub.
Ished in your paper over the non de
plume OF " Alpha" AS am an East
Tennesseean, and graduate of the
Nashville Medical College, I felt it my
duty to correct few of the mistakes
Of the above named critic. The Greek
word " Alpha implies or means first,
and I presume, therefore, he is the
first who had the courage to make the
groundless charges In which said ar.
ticle abounds. This prolific writer. saws
the Nashville Medical College "is q
fraiI and feeble institution and he
says it Is run by few Ambitions
young men, without money or brains y
l did not know till now that it was u
crime to be a young man. "Alpha,3
should read Pitts reply to Walpoje on
this subject. But the fact is. ali the
Faculty of the above named College
are middle aged men except two and
those two are between % and 30 vears
and the writer will stake hisreputation
Oh the point that they have more
brains than "Alpha." The number OF
students attending the College and
who have matriculated there since ii
was founded Is sufficient refutation
of the charge of its being"a a frsil and
Teeble institution
"Alpha" also tells your readers that
the medical profession does not recog-
nlz9 the diplomas Of this Institution.
When did this knowing writer dis
cover the fact? Leartus Conner, M.
u, Secretary of the American Medical
college Association, says the Wash.
iington Medical College is recognized
10 the Medical Association, and if this
9e true, surely "Alpha" will and can
lay his prtjudiees aside and recognizes
H. But there Is another medical col
!ege 10 Nashville, and probably cal
pha" has IAN axe to grind" AS to
money. the College clearly shows it ia
@tf-sustaining, and this explains it's
Irallty." You can always tell the
Mrounded bird, it will f1utter. The
medical College has wounded "Alpban

Red Wine In Europe.

An excellent minister who sailed foi Eu-
rope recently asked us if it were necessary
TO drink the red wine, saying that he had
been told by truly good people, that there
was no safety In using the water that the
light or red wines and sometimes brandy
were indispensable on sanitary principles.
We replied, thirty days in Japan, forty.two
in China, one hundred and twelve in India,
nine in Egypt, fifteen in Palestine, fifteen in
Syria, four in Constantinople, four in Athens,
sixty-fve in Europe, thirty-fye in England,
ninety days at sea on twenty ships, afforded
ample time TO test the water, with no oc-
casion TO touch an intoxicant or taste tea or
coffee. Occasionally we took cup of nutr-
tious cocoa, and always milk when obtainable.
If any one suffers more from sea sickness
than we, they suffer (and the twentieth
voyage worse than the frst), but all who
took strong drink as a remedial added to
their sutferings, as we know from most
abundant observation. What shabby nom
sense, to pour fire water into stomachs turned
topsy turvey by unaccountable sea sickness.
The German and brotherly landlord of the
Mediterranean hotel at Jerusalem gave US a
most refreshing bowl of hot and pure goats
milk at the five to six A. NJ. breakfast each
morning. Our first Partisan breakfast was
sweet milk, and so in Dresden, Munich,
Vienna, Berlin, the cities OF the Rhine,
Switzerland and Holland, we always and
easily could get the best of bread and purest
OF milk, With meat aud vegetables once a
day. We are only average in our endurance
and nervous force, but by regularity in diet,
simplicity in food and the constant smile
"of him who never slumbers or sleeps" we
were able to average sixteen hours per day
OF study, and the various forms of Christian
work.. a. BurneH, in Congregationaiist.

What Rum Does.

We once knew widow lady who was poor
in this worlds goods, and who was depend
ent for her daily bread upon her only son,
then apromsing young man of about twenty
two years of age. He followed teaching
school for living, and was not only popular
among the people of his neighborhood, but
was gifted with talents of far more than
ordinary character. The mother was Chris.
tian lady, a strict church member, and
woman of prayer, and often had she pleaded
with her son, with tears in her eyes, to give
his heart to God but he declined, usually by
saying, "Some other time, mother; some
other time. | am too young now; when
get older | will turn my attention to the
subject of religion and join the church."
One Christmas Eve he left his home and
joined some of his young companions at a
neighboring distillery, where they spent
portion of the time in drinking aud carous-
ing with each other. Returning at late
hour, in crossing a narrow foot-log over
mill-race, he missed his footing, fell into the
water and was drowned. The next morning,
being missed from the family, search and
inquiry were made, when a hat and pair
of gloves were found on the bank of the
stream, and, by dragging it, his dead body
was brought to the shore, removed to his
home and buried. The mother and a little
sister of tender years were then left alone to
battle with life's trials as best they could.
One day the former left her home to visit
friend who resided some three miles away,
for the purpose of soliciting charity. Her
road lay across the mountain, where she lost
herself in the laurel bushes and died, and
her remains were not discovered until de-
composition had taken place and the vultures
had partly devoured the flesh from the body.
The little girl, who had never wronged any
person in the world, found shelter among
strangers, where she received rough and
cruel treatment, and she. too, soon after died,
and now the mother, brother and sister lie
side by side with each other, in the corner
of a country graveyard, with nothing but
the wild flowers TO mark the place of their
sculpture. The foregoing is but single
example of what rum has done. There are
thousands of other similar cases which have
happened in the country, and yet this great
evil is still sanctioned and approved of by
law. Our legislatures have made the traffic
in intoxicating liquors lawful business,
and those pursuing it are engaged in deal
ing their deaih-blows upon poor, suffering
humanity everywhere. No matter how many
homes may be dismantled or how many
children go hungry for want of bread, the
liquor dealer must be sustained by law, and
the history of his Internal business continue
to be written in tears and blood. When we
think how rum has desolated this fair world
we live in, and reflect that our authorities
executive, legislative and judcial-sustain
it, we are almost led TO the opinion that we
are all here in a vast lunatic asylum, and in
stead of being rational beings are undergo
ing treatment for different forms of the
disease.-.Seiecfed.

The Hopeless Prisoner.

A man employed in Spanish bank once
stole the key to the "strong room," and Wis
tied it at night intending to carry off large
sum of money. But while intent on his
booty he forgot the great door which swung
together by its own weight. There was a
spring-lock to the door which fastened him in
beyond all chance of escape. And now the
poor prisoner could only sit down in his de.
spair and wait and listen for help to come
1t might be days before any one came
Meanwhile he should die of thirst and
hunger. The hours sped on, and the gloom
grew deeper A raging thirst consumed
him. He would have given all the gold
about him for one draught of water. What
would the riches of the world be compared
with his freedom How anxiously he list.
ened for some sound without But those
deep walls shut out alike all sound from
without or within. 1t was of no avail that
he beat the massive door and cried and
shrieked for help. As well might those
deep buried in the sea call upon those above
to rescue them. How vaguely he sought in
his despair for some weak point through
which he might, with superhuman effort
dig out passageway to the outer world
So near to him it seemed, and yet so far
away Days rolled along, and all search
for the missing man proved fruitless, until
one day when the "strong room" was
opened there lay his lifeless form Oh
what warning to evil-doers. Sooner oil
later they will reap the bitter fruit OF
their doings. Evil habits of dissipation are
building the walls of many a strong prison
house that will shut up its victim just as
hopelessly as the walls of this bank-vault
did the robber. Oh | what walls of fire the
rum-seller is piling up about his soul
What will his gold thus acquired profit him
in that day when the heavy door is shut
and he shut in forever ?--7he Banner.
