Making Amends.

A dramatist who was sitting by
a friend at a theatre contrived
to extract a handkerchief from
his pocket and transfer it to his
own. Presently a man behind
him, tapping him on the shoul-
der, whispered: "Beg Jour par
don; here's your purse. Didn't
know you belonged to the pro-
fession; all right!'' at the same
time slipping into the amateurs
hand the purse he had extracted
from his pocket. The story may
pass, for altogether honor among
thieves has no existence, it is
probable that regular practition-
ers act on the principle that dog
should not eat dog. That they
ever go an inch beyond that We
do not believe, even though we
have it on the authority of the
Gaulois that Charles Dickens
once lost his watch at a theatre
in Paris, and found it. at his no.
tel with a note running: %

HON. JOHN v. WRIGHT.
A Sketch Of the Democratic Candi-
date for Governor.
ma shville American. |


The Hon. Jno. V. Wright, who
has received the hearty endorse
ment Of the Democratic party
in Tennessee by the unanimous
nomination of its convention in
Nashville, was born in McNai-
ry county, June %, 1923. He
studied medicine, but evincins
an unusual ability as a debater,
he afterward studied law and en-
tered upon a successful and bril-
liant practice in that profession.
Thrice before the war the ban
ner of Democracy was placed in
his hands and in each contest he
was victorious. He was elected
to the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-ffth
and Thirty-sixth Congress, from
his native State, and served with
brilliancy. He served upon
many important Committees,and
among them the Committee on
Revolutionary Pensions and Ex-
penditures in the War Depart
ment and Committee on Terrific
ries. His canvasSes in these
Congressional races were mark
ed with unusual energy and bril-
liancy.
When the late war broke out
Judge Wright enlisted with his
fellow Tennesseeans in the Con-
federate service, and served with
gallantry and distinction. He
was elected Colonel of his regi-
and while gallantly lead
ing his forces at Belmont, Mo-,
had his horse shot under him
and was himself wounded. He
was complimented for gallantry
while in this service, and while
with his command was elected
to the Confederate Congress
without his solicitation and with
out making a single speech. He
with his command un-
til summoned to his new field of
duty.
Since the war Judge Wright
has resumed the practice of his
profession and is now located at
Columbia, Tenn.
He has occupied the bench,
and in that capacity given gen.
eral satisfaction as an able ju-
rist, dignified, pure and impair
tial.
rsAs an orator and public deba-
ter, he is the recognized peer of
any man in the land. His in
vincibility as a political debater
has been felt, recognized and ac-
knowledged. His fine physique,
charming and attractive conver-
powers,together with the
magnetic power of his warm and
generous heart, win for him the
respect and admiration of his po-
Iitical opponents. Judge Wright
is now in the vigor of mature
mental and physical manhood.
His past life and political record
are unassailable.
The Democracy of Tennessee
nave ensured in their action and
standard bearer a great victory,
for he who has never known de-
feat.

And sighed, ''l'm too much Of lady!

You keep things in Order-I really must

Though the fact, dear, is deeply regret

1t isn't the loyeliest, to be sure,
To dabble in cooking ard dishes,
But never home was tidy and pure
BY dainty iesthetical wishes.
Pm free to confess there's something in life
More attractive than putting a stitch in,
And many a weary industrious wife
Isn't deeply in love with her kitchen.
But duty is duty, and dirt always dirt,
And, only the lazy deny it;
Crocheting is nicer than making shirt,
But men never yet were clothed by it.

Playing with a Rattlesnake.
[Americus (Ga.) Republican,

lnnASA tNuo NNoI hOPu"hSNHJ r.t
Several days ago a party had
gathered at the house of B. A.
Register, in the Fifteenth Dis
trict, so we are informed, for
the purpose of eating watermel-
ons. In front of the yard is a
large grove, and a little three
year-old child of Mr.. Register,
wandered out into the grove
while the crowd was gathered in
the front porch of the house.
After some time Mr.. Register,
who had been watching the
child, saw that it was playing
with something, he approached
the fence and looked over, and
was astonished to find a very
large rattlesnake playing with
the child, twining around its
arms, laying its head lovingly
on it's breast and twining around
it's body, and seeming to be de-
lighted with its new friend.
The child was in the highest
glee, and was as happy as if in
its mothers arms. RegisteBcall-
ed to the crowd, who went to
the fence, and were appalled, at
the critical position of the child.
A plan was contrived by which
the child was enticed away from
the snake. On the first alarm
the snake sprung its rattle and
was ready for fight. 1t was
killed and found to be quite
large and had fifteen rattles.

Faulkner.
MartluSburg Statesman Of January ~, 1850.
Its the custom Of our County Bible So
ciety to have lis annual meeting in one Of
thsseyeral churches Of our city. On last
Sunday evening it was held in the Netho.
dist Episcopal church and much interest
manifested in It's proceedings. Towards
the close OF the aeeting the Rev. Mr.:
Amos, tho pastor OF that church, rose and
stated that while his church had already
made, during the present year, It's full CON
tribution to the American Bible Society,
and he had not intended to make any fur
Their call upon them, yet 1t had occurred
to him since the meeting that he might
without, impropriety make u further APP
peal To them. He then made some very
complimentary remarks about Hon. q. j.
Faulkner, us u man and q citizen, and pro-
posed that a collection OF thirty dollars
Should be taken up TO make him lie
member OF the American Bible Society:
The Reverend gentleman was informed
that Mr.. Faulkner had been for upwards
| OF thirty years a life member Of that Soci'
ETY.; but he thought it might be vel, after
suck lapse OF time, to renew his connec'
ton with that institution, and declined u
Withdraw his proposition. The collectors
proceeded with their duty. AS an evidence
Of the kind feeling OF that congregation
and OF the other citizens present, 70 Mr.
Faulkner as man and citizen, this IN
cident may well be treasured up BY hin
/ as a source OF sincere pleasure.

IT is stated that Mr.. John S. Hanley, liv'
ing in the upper part OF Nilsson county,
has brought suit In the courts OF Cabell
county for the possession OF three hun
bred acres OF land, on which the business
portion Of the eityol Huntington is built
Mr.. Hanley claims that his uncle wll!ed
this property to him, afterwards becoming
insane, sold tbs property while IN ulat
condition. Hence the sale Us he claims Is
void.
It will soon be. dangerous TO builda city
This thing Of claiming the sites OF cities
hundred years or two after they are built
is getting to bo chronic. Mrs. Gaines car
ried on the claim business at New
Orleans for generation, and tho heirs Of
Anneks JAMS are carrying in on in New
York, claiming The Trinity Church prop,
erty, which is vast city property; and
now come the Springer heirs claiming the
city of Wilmington, Delaware. A part o.
Chicago isalso claimed by the holders q
Deerborn Scrip, and at one time and an
other pretty nearly every city in tht
country has been claimed by4some lbody'i
heirs. We expect to see claim start il

Arrangements were perfected Tednes-
day by Messrs. Mccormick, Of Ohio, Whit
taker and others, of Wheeling, for lease
Of the Ohio Valley Iron Works OF this
place, for term OF from one to three
years. The new company agree to run
the mill, on double turn, for at least two
hundred days in the year-or, counting
twenty.six working days in the month
about eight months In twelve. It's esti-
mated that the new company will put in
circulation upwards OF 5000 per month
in this place and vicinity, in the pay OF
hands, &c. 1t is reasonable 10 presume
that every dollar OF this sum will change
hands at least four times in the payment
of some Indebtedness, in which, even at
this low estimato-when 1t will be likely
to change and pay double what we put 1t
at-thcre will be, in q manner, $50, 900 Of
Indebtedness in various channels cancelled
by the money put in circulation in the
running Of thiS mill, or in eight months,
on the same basis, OF $240, 600. The run.
ming Of one mill like this is often regarded
by some OF being but little consequence,
hence we make the above estimate 10 show
that such things are often undercstimatea
by some who fail to give the matter due
consideration.

stock should be manifested an application
for a chatter will be made, and the com.

already large travel, and the stock no
