varnish ON the Church Pew..
Peckls Sun

There was the queerest scene at
one of the churches last Sunday. IL
seems that during the vacation the
seats had been newly vanished,
and somehow the varnish waa not
right, and 1t was terribly sticky.
You know when you pull any thing
off of sticky varnish that il cracks.
Well, the audience had all got ssat-
ed when the ministergot up to give
out the hymn, and as the basement
of his trousers let loose OF the var
nish of his chair there was noise
like killing fly on the wall with "A
paIm-leaf fan. The minister looked
round at the chair to see If he was
all present, and that noguilty mans
pants had escaped, and read the
hymn. Thechoir rose with sound
of revelry, and, after the tenor had
swallowed lozenge, and the bass
had coughed up a piece of frog, and
the alto had hemmed, aud the So
prano had shook out her polonaise
to see if the Varnish showed ON the
south side, the audience began to
rise. One or two deacons got up
first, with sounds like picket firing
in the distance on the eve of battle,
and then a few more got up, and
the rattling of the unyieldkng var
nish sounded as though the fighting
was becoming more animated, and
then the whole audience got on its
feet at once with sound of rattling
musketry. The choir sang "Hold
the Fort" When the orchestra
had concluded the people sat down
gingerly, the services were short.
and all went home praying for the
man that painted the seat.

Dealers in miscellaneous securities
report renewed inquiry of late from
various sources for southern stocks
and bonds, and in some cases there
is already a noticeable improvement
in prices. There can be no doubt
that the most direct road to the
wealth and prosperity which the
south once enjoyed, but which it lost
during the war, is by maintaining
home credit at all hazards. Power
ty-stricken as the south has been,
this rule, strictly followed, was sure
of enforcing many hardships, but
they were not tithe of evils that
have already attended the attempts
at Reputation. This fact the think
ing, observing portion of the south
is beginning to realize more fully
than at any previous time since the
war, and the result is seen in the re-
cent elections. Commenting upon
the issue that was before the people
of Tennessee, and the happy result
attained, the Nashville American,
which has always been outspOhen
in favor of paying the state and mu-
nicipals debts, has the following:
The question is settled. Q 9 BY more
than three -fourths of the entire vote, the
state is for preserving the public taith.
When the legislature, the immediate rep
resentative OF the people, is considered, the
verdict is all the more emphatic
There are a thousand ways i'm
which the beneficial effects of this
victory for right and justice will
make themselves manifest, not the
least of which will be the apprecia-
tiOn of the value of southern state,
municipal, and other corporate Sc
curities. The time has arrived
when there is a lively demand for
all securities that promise a fair rate
of interest and prompt payment at
maturity, and in fact it is becoming
difficult to obtain securities of this
kind with payment of a heavy pre-
mium. Let the southern people
satisfy the capitalists of the north
that they intend to pay their debts,
and the south will not long be in
want of money to develop every in
dustry that promises fair return
for the investment.

class always have to sell their wheat

ry it to market, their corn as soon as
II is ripe enough to gather, and their
stock as soon as the animals are
salable.
They cannot wait for better mar
ket, because, If they keep the iner-
chant waiting too long, they know
there will be no chance OF getting
credit another year, and IL takes all
they have got this year to square up
old accounts. As rule, such farm.

goods cheaper for cash. Any mer-
chant will tell you he can afford 90
sell goods for less money II he gets
cash every time instead of waiting
six months. Precisely the same is
the case with all with whom the
farmer deals, and il will pay anyone
to live close for one year in order
ever afterward to be free from the
CALLING pressure of debt. DO with
out everything you can possibly live
without. DO not buy new plOw,
or harrow, or any thing simply
because you can buy il on credit.
Wait, and wait patiently, until you
can pay as you go, and you Will be
how much you will save
in n year; for l honestly believe
any farmer will buy more when he

he pays cash every time. IL Is

Election OF un,,ea state. senator.
Columbia Herald.

II is now evident that the DEM
ocrats will only have a small ma
jority in the legislature. What is
to be done in regard to the election
of Uuited States Senator and state
officers, becomes an important ques-
tion. The state debt question has
nothing TO do with the election Of
United States Senator, and should
not be made question IN that alec-
tion. A mans views i'm regard to
the payment of the state debt cam
not affect him as United States Sem
ator. He had a right 10 express
them, and certainly should not be
prescribed because he may have dii-
fered with other democrats on this
question. AS well might a mans
views upon any other question Of
state policy be made test in the
election of senator. This being the
case the democrats can and should
unite on an able man and true Clem-
ocrat, who would correctly represent
the democratic party upon all great
questions of party policy. IL we
permit local questions TO divide us
in the selection of members OF the
United States Senate or the House
of Representatives, then the demo-
cratic party will be destroyed. Par
ty questions should have nothing
to do with the settlement Of the
state debt, and the state debt should
have nothing to do with the election
of United State Senator.

a step Upward for Hancock.

Should the forthcoming report Of
the general of the army prove his
last-and it is confidently announce
ed from Washington that Gen. Sher-
man has determined 10 90 upon the
retired list next spring-it will give
to both Gen. Sheridan and Gen.
Hancock a step upward In military
position if not In nominal rank. The
title of general was conferred specl-
ally upon Gen. Sherman and thus
does not pass to a successor but.
in the event of his retirement, which
the law enables him to do ON the
completion OF thirty years service,
Gen. sheridan will take commanded
the army at Washington, and Gen.
Hancock, by established custom,
will succeed at Chicago TO the inn
portant post now filled by Gen.
Sheridan. The country will be 10th
to lose from its active service the
distinguished officer now at the
head Of the army but Il will be
glad to see any possible additional
honor open to the gallant soldier
who by no means loses his place IN
the heartsof his cOuntrymen because
of his defeat in a political election.

The latest thing in dances is call.
ed the ''raquet," and is neither a
waltz nor a polka, though the best
parts of both are preserved. The
music strikes up with a crash, as
though a new volcano had broke
out, and the girl will cling tightly
as though frightened if she under
stands the dance, and the young
man will reassure her by a gentle
pressure, if he understands the
dance or knows anything at all. AT
the second crash they dodge as
though some one had thrown a
blacksmith shop at them, and they
start in. They begin by initiating
the struggle for life, representing a
person who is drowning, but each
crash Of the cymbals and bass drum
they dodge and scOOt to one side,
then dart back again, jam each
other sideways, and then, as the
crashes of music become more ter
rife and deafening, they try to drive
each other through the floor by
main strength, get desperate, and
telr. and pull, and all at once they
go raving mad with hydrophobia
and delirium tremens, and gnash
their teeth, and rave, and suffer the
most terrible agony, and it is all
over. 1t il "A sho. t dance, as the de-

A VERY interesting scheme is be-
ing carried out in Tennessee by the
distinguished pupil of the late DIR.
Arnold, Thomas Hughes, M. P.
He has purchased a large tract of
country, and has arranged to settle
ii with a colony of English farmers
and mechanics. He proposes to call
it Rugby, after the school which he
made so ofamous in his writings. The
colony will be conducted on the CO.
operative plan. Part is to be laid
out as a town, part will be used for
agricultural purposes, and part for
stock-raising. The colonists will
divide the profits of all the depart
ments. No intoxicating liquors will
be permitted to be sold, and every
thing will be managed for the gen.
eral interests. Such schemes have
been carried out in California, with
the most gratifying results. There
is no reason why they should not
succeed in Tennessee. ee.-Neir Or

NEW York Public offers this piece
of timely and sensible advice: ''No
harm can now be done by bringing
the country back to a clear under
standing of the fact that a gold GER
ificate, or a silver certificate, or a
legal tender, or any promise to pay
money, is not money, any more
than ticket to a hotel dining room
is a good dinner. Notes to an i'm
mense amount have been boarded
within the past year. 1t would be
a good thing to call the attention of
those who hoard money TO the fact
paper can depreciate, while gold
cannot. If part of the boarded
notes could be dislodged, so that
gold should be taken into private
boards in place of them, both the
banks and the treasury would be
safer for the change"

Nashville American J

NdsINills AiheiiCau.
The appropriation for the inn
provement of the lower Cumberland
having been exhausted, the work
has been suspended. That the por-
tion already completed has been
beneficial Is shown by the fact that,
throughout the summer, light
draught steamers have been able TO
make weekly trips between Nash
vile and Smithland, a thing never
before known in the history Of the
river. There is no reason why, with
additional improvements, the Cam
berIand should not be navigatetI all
the year round between Nashville
and SlnithIand. This would eei'-
tainiy be of vast benefit to the en-
tire country along the river and
would greatly increase our conn
merce. Steps ought to be taken by
our merchants looking still further
to the Improvement Of the river.
The upper Cumberland has also
been greatly improved during the
summer, and many distractions re
moved. With clear river TO Point
Isabel, Nashville could have large
supply Of coal from the Kentucky
