Testimonial.

We, the undersigned students, hav-
ing entered the Knoxville Business
College during the past month, take
this means of expressing our extreme
qualification at the progress we are
making in our studies.
We fiDd the instruction given ex.
ceedipgly thorough, practical and com
prehensive, and the Professors gentle
men of undoubted ability and capacity
for the several positions they occupy.
They are uniformly obIigiDg and anx-
ious to promote the beet interests of all
under their charge; and have happy
faculty for impalting the same COM
plete knowledge OF what Is required In
business as 1t is evident they, them
selves, possess in very extraordinary
degree.
Judging from our Intercourse with
the graduates of other colleges, we are
fully satisfied that anyE young man
who goes through the complete Busi'
ness Course here, will be as thoroughly
prepared for any position in CONNER.
cial life as it is possible for him to be-
come at any institution in the world.
We have no doubt but that as soon az
the general public become aware of the
merits of this College, it will have such
a patronage and support as ia possessed
by no similar Institution In all the
Southern States.
We hope to see all the rooms filled to
overflowiDg during the coming winter
and they certainly will be, II our peo-
pie are alive to their own be. in t erests

The Art of Carving.

The complaint proverbially urged by incom-
petent workers against their tools should at
least be rendered uniustifable by every good
housewife with regard to carving knives and
forks. These it is absolutely essential should
be in first-rate order at all times, if she would
not have legs of mutton hacked like billets of
wood, or her chickens torn and mangled as
though they had been subjected to a railway
accident. The edge of the knife should be of
preternaturally dangerous sharpness, and the
fork must not have been used too persistently
as an impromptu instrument for the extraction
of recalcitrant corks. Bright, straight, sharp
pointed prongs and keen-edged, flashing blades,
are indispensable for good carving. Personal
ly have preference for buckhorn handles, sill
ver-bound and clamped-the round form'
slight curve, and rather rough surface common
to them affording a grip and purchase absent
from the ordinary straight bevel-edged ones Of
ivory and bone. Bearing these facts in mind,
and remembering that for carving joints tine
handles of the knife and fork are to be short
and the blades and prongs long, and that for
game and poultry the very reverse of this is
necessary, greater firmness of blade and point
in the latter being requisite, little further need
be said here concerning the carver's tools.
First then for the sirloin, that noble and un-
equalled specimen of bovine production. The
fillet or undercut from this joint being always
better when eaten hot rather than cold, should
claim the carver's first attention. 1t must be
cut transversely into thick slices like tongue;
as also should be the fat at the thinner end, a
portion of which should go with each slice Of
lean from the thicker. OF course the joint
must be turned over to enable the carver to
get at it conveniently; and, according % the
number of persons to be helped, he should cut
so many slices at once before setting the bone
up to its proper position again. By this means
he can, when helping from the main bulk Of
the joint, give portion of the tillet to each,
without having constantly to turn the joint
from one side to the other. Now, at times,
some people prefer that both the upper and
under side should be cut alike-that is, trans
versely-and, though generally considered an
extravagant way it is not without its advan-
tages the chief of these notably being that
each slice has an equalization of the brown
and juicy meat-there being, so to speak, no
outside cut, each help having, in a section,
brown and underdone in the same Slice A

The Double-Headed Convention.
The Democratic and Greenback leaders
who are working for fusion in this State
have either come to the conclusion that the
crowd at command isn't big enough for two
conventions, or they fear that negotiations
by telegraph cannot be safely managed
Possibly the absurd Greenback hatred of the
associated press as 'Sa grasping monopoly"
may have something to do with the disincli-
nation to use the wires. 1t is more likely,
however, that the bargainers find some un-
expected obstacles in the way of closing the
contemplated trade and feel the necessity
of having at hand trained body of men
who can do double service, and appear in
either convention when vote is to be taken
or great shout is needed to impress recall
CitrantS.
There is much opposition to fusion in
both the Democratic and the Greenback ranks
in Maine, and unless choked off it may find
its voice in the conventions. The rout
last September and the conspiracy to steal
the State which followed, disgusted many
well meaning men with the corrupt coali-
ton. Last winter they were loud in their
denunciations Of the unholy compact which
sacrificed all moral and political principle to
a struggle to secure the spoils of office
They proclaimed that with their consent
combination should never again be entered
into between organizations which had no
doctrines in common, and which joined
forces not to further the success of the po-
litical and economic doctrines which they
respectively professed or to promote the
public interests, but to capture and divide
official positions for which the public pay
and which were established and are main
tained for the public good.
The purpose then formed has not been
abandoned, and though the promoters of
the coalition will probably succeed in con-
trolling the two conventions, they will find
it impossible to deliver the goods as by con-
tract. The goods are not in the market.
The leaders may unite on a candidate for
Governor that all Fusonists will support;
but many Democrats and Greenbackers will
show their disapproval of the bargain by
voting for the Republican candidate this
| Fall.

Recent Publications.

Memoirs Of Napoleon. By the Duchess
d Abrantes. (New York: D. Appleton and Co.;
Portland: Bailey and Noyes.) The impression
left upon the public mind by the memoirs of
Madame de Remusat, recc .ly published in
this country, was exceeding J strong and diff
fered in many respects from. that formed by
history and contemporary sketches of Napo-
leon and his court. The memoir showed the
meaner traits of Napoleon, and the vanites of
Josephine; the iealousies and schemes of the
court were repugnant to the mind of Nine. de
R6musat and she drew a picture with her pen
not blunted by the years that had elapsed since
the memoir was first projected. 1t is with
certain sense of relief that one reads the me-
moirs of Nine. Junot, Duchess d. Abrantes.
She appears to have been woman of sweet
ness and honesty of character, bright and en-
ergetic, and very charming with only enough
vanity to know how to acquit herself gracefully
at all times. Her memoirs are without bitterness
and also without fiattery. She admired the
Emperor, and wrote of him with enthusiasm
while she was not at all blinded to his faults.
The very vivacity and naturalness of the me-
moirs attest their truthfulness
Madame Junot was descended from the
Greek family of the Comneni one of whom,
Constantine, had settled in the island of Cor
sica; and her mother, Madame de Permon, was
an intimate friend of Nine. Let;tia Bonaparte,
Thus Nine. Junot was able to give many par
ticulars of the youth of Napoleon, and to draw
a comprehensive portrait of tine emperor, from
the obscure days of his childhood to the tragic
hour of Waterloo.
Society presented curious scenes in those
days; the episode of the rival beauties at Nine.
de Permon's ball, seems incredible to this age
OF behavior-books. In this circle, General Ju.
not, who, young man had already won high
favor with Napoleon, was one of the promi-
nent figures; and the details of his marriage
with Mile. de Permon are exceedingly inter-
esting AS the wife of this distinguished SOL
dier, later named the Duke d. Abrantes, the
authoress OF these memoirs had excellent op-
portunities for observing affairs great and
small, and nothing escaped her notice or failed
to be transferred with utmost grace to her
journal. Whether the weightier matters of
politics, the airy and tenuous threads of diplo
macy, or the white satin slippers and rivalries
of the amateur theatre of Malmason formed
her theme she was sure to treat it charmingly
and effectively. 1t is of course, quite impossi-
BILE to convey in the limits of u review any idea
OF the events which are grouped to form these
memoirs-but these two volumes may be brief
ly described as treasury of historic and social
anecdote OF most notable epoch.

IT is the fashion to unsparingy abuse
Senator Kellogg, and those who know the
least about him are the most unsparing in
their assaults. Senator Hoar, who does
know, and who speaks with authority, took
occasion in debate the other day to use these
words: 81 propose, Mr.. President, to discuss
legal and constitutional principles general
and permanent in their application; but the
personal attacks on Mr.. Kellogg by the 9TH
er side make it my duty to say that some
years ago, in the performance of duty as
signed me by the House of Representatives,
l carefully investigated the complaints
made against his administration. l declare
my belief that for wisdom, energy and in
tegrity it is a conspicuous and honorable ex-
ception among the recent administrations of
Louisiana. He found her credit degraded
and left it strong. He found her bonds sell
ing at less than 25 cents on the dollar; he
left them selling at more than Is cents. He
found the tax for State purposes alone at 213
mills on the dollar; he left constitutional
restriction limiting the tax for all State pur-
poses, including schools, at AZ mills on the
dollar. Not dollar was added to her pub
lie debt by any act passed in his time His
Democratic successors expended the surplus
he left in the treasury tc the credit of the
interest fund toward the payment of one in
stalment of interest, and then repudiated
