yentilnting Ships.

t'r ON the Baltimore News.
The ventilation of ships has of late
years been attracting considerable at
tcntion, the more SO because Of the rap
idly increasing ocean travel. Many
plans for ventilating ships have been
devised and tried, few Of them with
success, on account of the obvious diff
culties To he overcome. A recently per.
fected apparatus invented by physi-
clan for the above purpose has just
been examined by a board of Govern
ment experts, who find that the princi-
Pile upon which 1t is constructed is the
only true method Of securing perfect
ventilation in ships. The apparatus is
II copper cylinder attached to the ship's
rudder extending seven feet below and
five above the water-lne. Ii is fitted
UP with two sets Of valves Opening into
pipes running to MI parts Of the ship.
These valves are SO arranged that the
motion Of the ship i'll raising and falling
with the waves, pumps the foul mir out
ofthe ship. There is one objection, how
ever, urged against the apparatus. II
is thought that iii the tropics, where
the water is calm and where ventilation
is most needed, II may fail 10 work, but
\ test will probably open way to over
coming this difficulty.
WHEN you see a woman gong toward
the river with good sized pole i'll her
hand, and wrinkle across her nose,
you needn't think she's going fishing.
Not much; she's got boy down that
way who promised her, with tears in
his eyes, he wouldn't 60 IN swimming.

gTess voted these appropriations, no
extra session would have been needed.
Had the Democrats of the present
Congress passed the Legislative bill the
first day, as they might have done,
and followed it up with the other reg
ulsr appropriations, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and much public
anxiety would have been saved. But
they were determined TO break down
the barriers which the Government
had erected against fraud at the Con-
gressional elections; they were de-
termined that the bulldUzers of the
South and the hired roughs and re-
peaters Of the Northern cities should
have full and free scope to carry
through the Democratic Presidential
and Congressional tickets in 1880 by
the methods which they usually en-
pl0y. If the Democrats in Congress
have abandoned this infamous scheme
in part it is only because they have
abandoned every effort TO carry il
short of actual revolution, and because
they dare not antagoniZe and defy
popular sentiment any longer"

IMPART APPETITE.

General W. T. Sherman's latest
letter is one to a young man in New
Orleans, in which he says: '"The
great sin of the South, the great
cause of all her woes mas been the
.Localism' of her brilliant minds.
To love ones country, ones place Of
birth, is universal and natural, and
actually seems intensified in the in
verse ratio of the advantages Of the
location from a commons sense view.
The natives of Scotland and Swift
erland are famous for their love Of
birthplace, although in either coun-
try it calls for a life struggle to exc
out of the earth food enough to
keep body and soul together. So in
South Carolina and Vermont the
natives are most boastful of their
birthplace, whereas, in fact, they are
the poorest States in our Union !;
whereas, the natives Of PensylVas
MIA, Ohio and Kentucky-rich in
soil, beautiful in landscape and pro-
life in food-migrate like the bees
from an overcrowded hive. Instead
Of boasting of the spot where one
is born by an accident over which
he has no control, l should suppose
every American would Re proud of
his whole country rather than of
part. Therefore [ hope and pray
that the new men of the South, with
whom 1 class you, will cultivate a
pride in the whole United States
of America, instead Of the mere
State and locality Of birth. How
much more sublime the thought that
you live at the root Of a tree whose
branches reach the beautiful field Of
Western New York, and the majes-
tic canons of the Yellowstone, and
that with every draught of water
you take the outflow of the pure
lakes of Minnesota and drippings
of the dews of the Allegheny and
Rocky Mountains.

With the July number, this beautiful
and very interesting work commences the
sixth semi-annual volume and both pub
Usher and editor seem determined to spare
no effort to render it superior to any SINH
lar publication. The 128 pages sparkle
with literary and artistic gems of peculiar
brilliancy; the illustrations mum Der nearly
100. The opening article, by a. II. Guern-
sey, is on THE Ten Primitive Persecu-
tions," and should be read by all the Chris
tian families in the land. A thoughtful
article, " We seek the Truth, an impress
sive one on Idle Words" a sprightly
one, Around Rio de Janeiro," and many
others, will well repay the reader. The
department of fiction Is unusually attrac-
tive. - David FIening's Forgiveness is
nearly concluded, and the short stories are
by popular writers, and very interesting
and instructive. Mrs. Preston, Paul Ii.
Hayne and others contribute original
poems. There is an excellent sermon, and
the Popular Exegesis, by the editor, who
also, in his editorials, discusses timely
topics; and in " At Home and Abroad " a
trustworthy view is given of movements'in
the religious world. The miscellany is
exceedingly comprehensive, entertaining,
and replete with instruction. The price of
this valuable magazine Is s. a year; six
months, 81 50; four months, 81. Address,

INTERNAL REVENUE.
The Various Industries in Tennessee
Which R8plenish Uncle Sans
Treasury.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
George W. Atkinson, United
States Internal revenue agent, ar
rived here yesterday from an official
visit to East Tennessee. During
a short conversation with him, an
American reporter obtain ed the fol-
lowing interesting facts:
J. NJ. Melton, the newly appoint
ed Collector for the District of
East Tennessee, will probably 90
into Office July 1st, vice Gen. Jo-
seph A. Cooper.
Mr.. Atkinson is required to visit
every district at least once every
quarter, and examine and report
upon the manner in which it is
operated. Besides this, he has to
ask the officer 1872 questions con-
corning the business in which he is
engaged.
There is but one legal distillery
in West Tennessee, and this one
was started at Paris, Henry county,
two weeks ago.
Forty-fve legal grain distilleries
are in operation in Collector W. NJ.
Woodcock's district, and SIX in
East Tennessee.
IN East Tennessee there are now
10 illegal concerns; in Middle Ten
nessce, IS, and in West Tennessee,
:, all in active operation.
There are three tobacco manu-
factories in East Tennessee, 16 in
Middle Tennessee, including a snuff
mandatory at Pulaski, and 6 in
West Tennessee.
In Middle Tennessee there are
IS officers who act both as store
keepers and gaugers, Z storekeep-
ers, 8 gaugers and Il deputy collec-
tors.
West Tennessee has 4 deputy
collectors, under Col. Patterson, of
Memphis, l storekeeper and gauger,
and l gauger.
In West Tennessee there are
seven cigar manufactures in Mid
die Tennessee, nine, and in East
Tennessee, four.
One Of the largest manufactures
in the South is located at Bristol.
Last year it paid tax to the Gov
eminent of $4,000. A Nashville
manufactury is the next largest in
the South Bristol has six tobacco
warehouses, and doing a business
that will soon rival that Of Lynch
burg, Va. 1t is the center of
richly productive tobacco country
similar to that in Virginia, and the
tobacco raised is as fine as that of
the Old Dominion.
In Middle Tennessee there are
122 leaf tobacco dealers, and $50
in the whole State.
Last year 800 brandy distilleries
were run in Middle Tennessee, and
the average number would range
from 800 to 500, according to the
size OF the fruit crop. East Ten
nessee has $50 brandy distilleries,
and West Tennessee so. There will
not be more than half a fruit crop
this year. All the other crops were
promising.
Deputy collectors have to visit
listilleries and other manufactures
which pay revenue to the Govern
nent once every month.
East Tennessee has one brewing
establishment and West Tennessee |
one. Middle Tennessee has none.
Most of the Middle Tennessee |
tistilleries are operated throughout |
the year, and in East Tennessee only |
d portion of the year.
Middle Tennessee is considered |
one of the most important revenue
districts in the Union, and one of
the hardest to manage.
Receipts Of Government revenue
IRE increasing all over the State.
This is claimed to be largely due to
he vigorous raids against illicit
listilleries.

1--WE are not disposed 10 tauut the

at last vote all the supplies necessary

agitation incident to the extra session.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public shoots of Knoxville
have just closed the most successful
year of their existence. Full re-
ports of the public examinations
and other exercises connected with
the close of the year have appeared
in our columns from time to time,
and our readers in the city are well
acquainted with what has been 60
ing on, and thoroughly informed as
to what has been accomplished.
But, we will be pardoned if we add
to what we have already published,
a few words commendatory of these
schools, in which every citizen of
Knoxville feels a just pride.
The wisdom of placing the
schools under the control of a School
Board, has long since been fully
demonstrated. We have been very
fortunate in securing in this Board
the services of gentlemen who take
a deep interest in the complete sue
cess of their charge. and who have
the capacity to discharge their du,
ties intelligently. They have CO.
operated together tremendously,
and while their rules have at times
appeared stringent and were not
we'll received by all when first pro-
mulgated, their wisdom has been
demonstrated by time, and it Is
rather remarkable that there are
now so few complaints at their adj
ministration. They are to be con-
graduated at the success of their
administration, and the people are
to be congratulated upon securing
the services of such competent gen
tlemen for so important trust.
They deserve all the more credit
for the reason that their services
are gratuitous, without pecuniary
compensation.
1t is also gratifying to US to be
able to say that the teachers are a
noble band Of workers in the good
work. They have labored zealOusly,
perseveringly and efficiently. They
are we'll adapted to the stations
they fill and take a pride in doing
their work well. We are glad to
see that they have been reelected
for the next year. Better selec-
tons could not have been made.
Once there was opposition to
public, free school. Now there is
none in Knoxville. Once it was
thought that none but poor people
would patronizs them. Now they
are patronized by the rich as we'll
as the poor. Once there were
persons who would have been will
ing to see them go down. Now
no more unpopular PROPOSE
ton could be made than one to
abandon the free schools. Let US
all then resolve to sustain them and
improve them. Let US have a sUfi-
cient school tax to pay all neces-
sary expenses, and let this tax be
promptly collected, so that the
teachers may receive their salaries
regularly and promptly, and not be
compelled to 90 about the streets to
sell their warrants at a discount.
Let the people resolve that we will
never take a step backward in this
matter but 90 on improving our
schools until Knoxville will take
rank in this respect with the first
cities in the land.
