To the Citizens of KnoTUille
For many days past the pressure
upon me, in private way, to an
nounce myself as a candidate for
Mayor, has been such as to call for q
definite answer. Thus far, I have
purposely withheld my answer, for the
reason that the names of several excel
lei gentlemen had been mentioned
all personal friends OF mine, whom /
would far more cheerfully work for
than antagonize. At this late day,
however, / presume that / am war;
ranted 10 suppOsiDg it to be matter Of
at least indifference to them. /, there
fore, yield to the wishes Of my friends,
and hereby announce myself o csndi-
date, but only with the distinct under
standing that as I have been solicited
by good men of both parties, so my
candidacy shall be non-partisan.
Now, as it seems to me, more than
ever before in the history of Knoxville.
is the time when politics should net
enter into municipal affairs. We all
feel that we are on the eve
of an era full of stirring events
for our city. The position from
this time will be one of great responsi-
bility. feel this keenly, but if the
good people of Knoxville think that I
am suitable man for it, trust that !
am too much devoted to their material
welfare to withhold any aid which
it is within my humble power to rem
der. II my friends can support me
upon this platform, 1 shall be proud TO
know it, and will, if elected, serve the
city to the best of my ability.
Respectfully,

TO the Friends Of the City

It is known to many that, for months
during esca year our teachers have been
paid in deprecated warrants on the city
Treasury, and have thus lost, often, one
tenth of their salaries. To remedy this
evil, through the kindness and liberality
of the President and Cashier of the East
Tennessee National Bank, our Board has
been enabled to borrow from said bank
such sums as we, from time to time, need,
at q very low rate of interest. To meet
tnese loans, we must dispose of our war
rants' or otherwise, suspend the schools,
ana as they are available for the payment
of taxes, soon demanding settlement, we
earnestly call upon all friends of the schools
to come forward and purchase these war.

A New SANDwIoH.--A novelty in the
way Of sandwiches can be made with
canned salmon, by using mayonnaise
sauce instead Of butter. First make
some good thick mayonnaise sance by
dropping oil, drop by drop, in the yolk
OF an egg, carefully separated frem the
white, and beating It with fork. Do
not use any vinegar or pepper and salt
at starting, or failure may result. Keep
adding on and beating till the mixture
gets as thick as butter. Now add some
vinegar, about teaspoontul will suf-
flee, and little white pepper and salt.
Butter some thin slicos Of bread with
this sauce and place very thin layer
Of salmon between them, having first
thoro lghiy pounded the salmon in a
mortar or basin, and then, after gently
pressing the slices OF bread together.
cur the slices into triangular ,.ieces and
pile them upon a plate, ornamenting
the dish with nice bright parsley, and
placing a tow small cray ilsh, with out
claws, round the base, with
one on top. Itls a pretty, delicious
and inexpensive dish. Good-sized
prawns may be advantageously substi-
tuted for crayflsh.

Remedy for HgdrophO1ia.-M Torres
Coicedo, Miuister from Salvador, has
Just made a gilt to the PARIS Zoologi-
cal Gardens, of two curious plants, the
guoco and the cedron, which have so
long been eXtollcd as an antidote to
snake bites and hydrophobla. The
discovery Of the value OF the plants was
quite singular. Some Indians observed
tnat some birds of prey, which cap.
ture and feed on snakes, sought out the
vtne Of the guaco, ate its leaves, and plas-
tered them over their plumage. This led
to the discovery Of the therapeutic, vir-
III ~ of the plant, and by Its use marvellous
cures We re effected in cases OF hydro
phObia. snake bites and marsh tevers.
DR.. Taffray also discovered the pro-
perties Of these two plants during a
voyage by him through New Grenada,
