The Cumberland Iron Works
Company, notice ot.whose incorpora-
ton and the purchase of the old
Cumberland iron works property OF
Wood Yeattnan q Co, in Stewart
county, on Cumberland river, was
made in our issue of the 18th ult., is
now organized, with J. P. Dr0uiI-
lard, Esq, as President and Treasur-
err, and Albert w. Harris, ESQ, as
Secretary. The incorpators, as here
t0fOre announced, are MeSsrs. V. l..
Kirkman, w. w. Berry, Samuel
Prichitt, Joseph Vaulx, J. p. Drouil-
lard, A. w. Harris, and Thomas II.
Malone. The company will proceed
at once to manufacture iron, and
with facilities enjoyed by no other
iron company in our section of the
United States. The ores OF this val
liable property, of which the supply
is seemingly inexhaustible, is the
best that is mined in this country,
and the iron hitherto manufactured
from it has reputation which in
sureS u ready market anywhere. In
the revival of this important indus
try the whole State may be we'll
Congratulated. The infusion of so
much youth, energy and business
brains, backed by a strong capital,
supplies q yitalfzing element to a
source of wealth that has too long
lain dormant in the Cumberland
river valley. The success of this en-
terprise, which is assured, while de-
monstrating practically the profit of
iron-naking in Tennessee, viii bear
put and verify the prediction we
have repeatedly made in these COL
unnS, and also encourage other
capitalists in the State to move in
the developement of our vast indus
trial resources. At all events, the
old Cumberland Iron Works, which
in the flush times of ante beiLlln5
memory was a little principaiity,
will, we predict, prove under the
new organization greater source of
wealth than ever, EXCHANGING the
general commerce of the State and
giving employment to large num-
bers of its industrious people. The
company viii establish an Office in
this city Immediately, and, in the
operations at the works
in Stewart county have already COM
menced.

RemarkahIe Dog story.
Rogenville snectator.

Mr.. Jas. X Price, who lived on
the mccarthy place, few miles west
=oF Rogersviile, pulled up stakes last
September, and with his family,
emigrated to the State of ii inois.
Having no watch dog, and desiring
to take one along with him. he APP
piled to his father who lived near
by, and obtained permission TO take
his trusty female canine, "Dutch. !"
This he did; "Dutch' followed the
wagon to Illinois and remained
with her new master about two
months. 'sDutch," however, it
seems, didn't like Illinois and con-
Guided to return TO Tennessee. On
Monday morning, Nov. 18th, Mr..
Jas. Price missed her from his pre-
misses and on Saturday night the
I'D, just sixteen days thereafter, she
was bowling at the door of Mr.. vii.

Price says she seems very tired and
feeble and has not yet recovered
fully from her long journey.

pemoerats should LooIs ON
Washington Post.

The Democrats controlling Con-
gress are possessed of the only
power that exists to shape legisla-
ton. With reference to really inn
portant matters this authority must
be exerted. In the present instance,
however, it is well to allow the
Republicans in both House and
Senate to make the first move in
response to the financial recon-
mendations of the administration.
The Democratic policy on this sub
ject is to simply observe the Stdtu
qtsO. Former hard money and soft
money men are united in the belief
that further tinkering with the
currency is a proceeding to be
frOwned upon and deprived of all
Encouragement. For them to per-
nit themselves to be divided again
would be to commit a grave blum
der. The Republicans should be
allowed to attend exclusively to
the suggestions of the de facto Pres
ident and Secretary of the Treasury.
There is no call for Democratic
interference. A grand fight is in
progress in the Republican ranks.
The Democrats should content
themselves with looking on. 1t
will cost them nothing to do this.
If they take a hand in the disturb
ance they are more than likely to
come to financial grief.

A BAD POLITICAL MOVE.
Depl0rable COnditi0n of the Colo
nized Negro Voters tn Indiana.


State Senator Foster, of Ripley
county, Ind, who is now in WASH
ingtOn, has been questioned with re-
gard to the negro emigration to his
Stale He reports that about two
thousand negroes have reachC d
there to date. The first lot that ar
rived in the State consisted of fifty
men and four women, but now they
are rushing in with all their rela-
tons, and some of them are in a de-
plorable state of deStitution. The
people of Indiana would welcome
able bodied laborers, but he says
that the people are beginning to
look upon the whole project as a
scheme to colonize voters in the
State. They have no feeling against
the negroes, whom they believe to
be dupes, but there is an intense
feeling against those who have
duped them, If the negroes had
gone there Of their own accord they
would all have been wei received,
and would have obtained employ
ment and good wages; but as it is
there is very strong public senti-
ment against them, and the people
have become disguised. The pub
lie sentiment in this section Ut the
state is so strong that The farmers
and Others who employ these peo-
pie find themselves in a measure Os-
tracized. If the movement is in
tended as political one Mr.. Foster
predicts that it will be entirely i'm
etfectuai, because the party expect
lug political capital out of it will
lose more by the DETECTION of the
citizens of Indiana than they could
possibly gain BY the new corners. !.

THE DYING HERO'S REQUEST.
By Mrs. ALErHEA 5. MuSFoRp.


By MRS. ALETHEA s. MUSFoRp.
Deaths icy hand Is on his brow,
The iife-hue fading fast;
Not sword, nor spear, nor bayonet now
That seems but OF the past.
Not martial field, nor battle host,
Nor banner waving bi2h. .
The quiet home he cherished most
This y his place 70 die.
No flashing steel. nor shot. nor shell.
The messenger of death
The great heart beats its own deep kncll-
To fever's wasting breath.
No comrades arm to pillow him
Meath some green, shady bough,
ChIiunOOd's sweet eyes, with tear-dFopS ON
These are the mourners now
Not his, the tender comfort, he
To one beloved had given,
As down the river, slowly, she
Had drifted on to Heaven /.
Oil motherless and fatherless
Too soon, too soon TO be -
Where shall the dying hero leave
His precious legacy!
O! there are CLEANS that light with power
The soufs Instructive ken
That sometimes in the darkest hour
Give preSctence unto men!
And such, methinks, helight untold,
That cheered the fevered breast
As while the deep death-waters rolled,
He made his last request.
Faint was the voice-not loud command
As when bright swords unshcath,
Unto the soldiers of the land

Shall blanch with feeling true
He speaks, as dying fathers speak,
Yet, as a hero too!

True as the stars that shine,
Nurslings and babes shall find their nest,
Thine are Hoods children, Thine'

Col. William II. Roberts, man
aging editor of the New Orleans
Democrat, was interviewed in Phil.
adeIphia by a Times reporter. He
commented on the late election of
Gov. Witt in Louisiana; thinks
the bulldozing stories manufacturers;
thinks that Louisiana viii go DEM
ocratic by 25,000 next year unless
Tilden is nominated, and, if SO, de-
feat may follow, for the South is
squsrely against him. Bayard is
the South's choice for President
Southern Republicans for Sherman
against Grant. Sherman will get
$50 of the 376 votes of the South in
the Republican nominating conven-
ton. He talks well about the
Grant boom by the Southern DEM
oerats, who have now I0I votes on
joint ballot, out of the whole 147
votes that are polled in the two
Houses. He says if the Southern
Democrats want Grant, that will be
a big reason for the Northern Re
publicans dropping him. He be-
lieves that lad Grant stayed in
office two years longer he would
have turned a complete political
somcrsault, following up his utter
ance that the country was getting
tired of these autuinnal outbreaks
| in the South.

Fortunes in Iron.
Cleveland Leader.

Some neat little fortunes have
been made by the late rise in iron.
A syndicate of wise youngsters in
State street, Boston, saw far enough
beyond their noses to realize $780,
600 by it; and IA hardware veteran in
the same city, whose neighbOrs
thought him crazy for laying in 50,-
600 kegs of nails, melted as many
dollars when the boom came. 1t is
calculated that the action taken by
the Western Iron Association in
Pittsburg, last week, advancing card
rates to 3 cents per pound, will yield
daily Increase to manufacturers in
that city alone OF $20.000 to $4,000.
The new card took effect yesterday,
and we are glad to learn carries with
it an advance in puddlers' and
helpers wages.

Adam and Eye--A Question re,
Earding the Expulsion from
Eden.

Old Judge Gustavus Swan of
Columbus, Ohio, was a character"
in his day. He was not q member
of the church, yet he was a constant
attendant on the ministratiOns of the
venerable DIR. HOge, the distinguishes
ed pastor Ofthe Presbyterian Church,
and if he could not be called a pillar
he certainly might, with his distin-
guished English prototype, claim to

and it must be confessed scented 10
take special pleasure in puZzling the
clergy, who frequently called upon
him, with his knOtty questions. One
day g missionary called on him for a
contribution. "NOw," said the
Judge, "I'll tell you what I'll do:
| will ask you simple question in
scripture, and, if you will answer Ii
correctly, will give you $25; if not,
nothing" The clergyman bright
ened up at once and agreed to the
proposition, being quite sure Of his
SIS. "Well, now" said the Judge,
''can you tell me why God drove
Adam and Eve out of Paradise9?'
Certainly" said the clergyman,
''that is very simple question; it
was because they ate the forbidden
fruit contrary to the commend OF
God" There" said the Judge,
sit is as supposed; / have asked
that question of d hundred different
clergymen and never yet got the cor
rect answer. / see you are 30 wiser
than the rest. You ought to give
me S25 for being so ignorant of one
of the most important facts in con-
nection with the fall of man. But /

blessing and the true answer to the
question. If You look in your BIZ

good and evil: and nov, lest he put

Think" added the Judge, with
sly twinkle In his eye, "What great
mercy it was thus to drive them out,
for suppose they had by some chance
got hold of some of the fruit Of the
tree Of life, and thus the race had
been perpetHated forever on this
earth. Why, by this time, we
should have been piled mountain
high upon each other, and what an
awful struggle there would have
been for life and happiness" The
clergyman departed, a wiser ifnot a

OUR Senator in Congress, Hon. j.
E. Bailey, has introduced bill in
the Senate for aiding colored eduea-
tional institutions. The bill recites
inthe preamble that
Five hundred and ten thousand
dollars have recently been covered
back into the United States Treas
ury from the appropriations for the
pay of bounties of cOlored soldiers,
which remained unclaimed after
seven years owing to the impossi-
biIity of discovering the claimants,
and asserts that under the circum-
stances the cOlOred people should
have the benefit of said money for
their educational improvement and
elevation. The bill, therefore, di-
reefs the Secretary of the Treasury
to invest $5l0,000 in United States
registered per cent. bonds, to be
apportioned. in equal parts to the
following institutions for the educa-
tiOn of cOlored people: "The How
ard University, Washington, D. c.;
the Hampton, Va. Normal and
Agricultural Institute; the Atlanta,
Ga, University, the Fisk Univer-
sity, of Nashville, and the Straight
University, of New Orleans. The
Trustees of these institutions are to
be entitled to use the interest or
bonds in such manner as in their
judgment will best promote the
ends for which they are chartered,
but the principal of the bonds is to
be inalienable,

Mr.. Joseph Cooper, who is now
working towbOat line outside of
the TowbOat Association, and who
has in consequence no rights and
privileges with regard to the teie-
graph line of the association,
has hit upon a navel method OF
getting his dispatches transmitted
from his towboats to his Office
in this city. Last year, when
Captain Black was outside the
association, that enterprising ship
owner bought several dozen Bel
GUM carrier-pigeons, and was
training them for U.s. when he de-
cided to enter the association, HAY
ing no further use for the birds, he
did not know what to do with them,
until Mr.. Cooper came around,
made inquiries and bought them,
Mr.. oper7c0nstructed cote back
of his office and therein put the pig
cons. In day or two these latter
became dOmesticated in their new
quarters. For some time past they
have been regularly employed in
bringing in messages from the tow
heats al the pass, and Mr.. Cooper is
delighted with his arrangement.
The carrier pigeon in this service is
swiiter than the telegraph. For ex-
ample: When a Cooper tOwboat
takes charge of a vessel, say at a
distance off shore, a pigeon is turned
loose, The feet bird circles around
for moment, and strikes a bee line
for home. The distance straight is
about 100 miles, which the pigeon
traVerses in about one hour and
quarter. Should an association boat
meet a vessel so far from land,
dispatch can not be sent until three
hours three hours thereafter, j. e.,
not until the vessel can be lowed
to the telegraph station at Port Eads.
AS a consequence, the carrier-pig-
con line brings a message to this
city fully three hours ahead OF the
telegraph line, and Mr.. Cooper re-
joices over this success.

those that remain have the superior

THERE is one thing the Demo-
cratic party of Tennessee must do,
no matter what happens in other
directions; it must lay hold of the
State debt question and settle it at
once-settle it according 10 law,
equity and justice. An attempt to
ignore it in the next canvass will
shiver the party to pieces beyond
the hope Of Reconstruction, and place
the State government ia the hands
of the Republican party in 1882
beyond peradventure. The man
who can't see the signs and indica
lions and hear the whisperings of
the coming storm Is either wilfully
blind and deaf, or something worse.
