LOUISVILLE doesn't propose TO be
hoggish because she controls the trans
portation of the South. The Courier
Journal says:
"As to Cincinnati, which has had
the folly to think that money can not
only corrupt men, but alter the in
tentions of Proyidencs-Which has
literally dumped eighteen millions in
the mud with The profsne hope Of cir
cumventing the laws OF nature and
cutting louisville out of advantages
which dozen quack Biographies,
made to order, have not been able TO
obscure, aud still less to efface-as to
Cincinnati, the case is different. The
press of Cincinnati has pursued most
iliberal course toward Louisville. The
corporation of Cincinnati has tried to
ruin louisville. Sill, we wish Gin
cinnati no worse i'll than her Chat
tanooga railway. 1t stands a costly
monument Of misguided greed and
over reaching malignity. Attempting
to destroy us, che has stuck 1t into her
own vitals. and, though full of pork-
packing establishments, without the
hogs lard We are content; and, as
au evidence of msgnanimity, we shall
look to 1t that, as soon as our goods are
dispersed southwar fromC Chattanooga,
Cincinnati's goods shall be taken care
of. To be sure, we shall owe duties to
Chicago and st. Louis, which we may
not disregard, Bnt the facilities OF
our Great southern will be 20 great as
to furnish transportation to all, giving
precedence only to its own immediate
connections"

A DOCTOR Facing DeaIh.

This morning, "Dixie' Douglass, a
medical student, became involved in q
difficulty with DR.. Paul f. Eve, in the
office of the latter, about subject which
the latter claimed the former had taken
from the medical college. Douglass was
elected from the office by DR.. Duncan
Eve, and meeting the latter at the post
office corner, few minutes before noon,
Douglass presented a revolver at his
breast and told DR.. Eve that if he moved
a step he would kill him. DR.. Eve told
him that he was unarmed, and defed him
to fire. At this juncture, an officer came
up and arrested Douglass and took him TO
the police ation.-NaShviiLe Banner.

SYMBOLS have been discovered on
the pedes al Of the obelisk at Alexan-
dria, which is being taken down for
transportation to New York, which
places the origin of Freemasonry
further back than ever in the Annals
OF time. They are thus described, In
the New York World, by Lieut.
Commander FL. II. Gorringe, who is
supervising the removal:
"Tmm medistely under the PEDESTAL of
the obelisk and In the east angle

to gain admission to the State House
has united the Fusionists, and they
say that Governor Smith has ten
thousand men in readiness to act
with him at a moments notice.
He counselled peace, however, and
peace prevailed. They also say
that they intend to appeal to Con-
gress, and will soon have Con-
gressional committee here to inves-
tigate matters.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 20.-When the
Republican House met this morn
ing Messrs. Hill and Moulton, two
Fusion members, appeared and
took their seats; Messrs. Rafter
and Bruner, also Fusion members,
had previously taken the same ac-
tion. The House received a com
munication from Wallace White,
demanding an investigation Of
charges of bribery made against
him by Fusion leaders. A special
committee will be appointed for the
purpose.
A resolution introduced by Mr..
Hale was adopted by the House
and subsequently, by the Senate to
the effect that the Legislature of
the State has now been legally or
ganized in accordance with the
opinion of the Supreme Judicial
Court-that the Governor and State
officers had been duly elected
and are now in the performance of
their duties, and that therefore the
Legislature will now proceed to the
transaction of public business, and
it gives notice to the people of the
State that all other bodies claiming
to be legal Senate and House of
Representatives are acting without
authority and in violation of the
Constitution and laws. 1t was also
ordered that the Judiciary Com
mittee be instructed to inquire
whether any, and if SO, what legis-
lation is necessary to prevent and
punish unauthorized obstruction
and the use of the State records
and other State property, as we'll as
the commission of other unauthor-
lied acts in the name of the State.

o clock in Union Hall. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Dickey,
Bradbury, Swan and others, coun,
selling the members of the House
to stand firm for their rights, to re-
cognize no usurping Legislature and
to sustain the legal Governor,
Smith, to the last.
On motion of Mr.. Dickey, the
committee appointed to recommend
q course of action was instructed to
report at 4 o'clock to>day, to which
hour the House then adjourned.
The Fusion Senate met in an
ante-room of Union Hall, and after
an interchange of views by mem
bers, adjourned until 4 o'clock. 1t
is said that the position of the Flu
sionists has been much strengthened
by the events of yesterday. The
refusal of the Republicans to admit
to the State House members like
Strickland, Knowles, &C., who have
an undoubted right to seats, has
strengthened the determination of
the Fusionists to hold together, and
has led them to take a more hope
fdl view of the situation.

This company was greeted again last
night with fair house, quite num-

The programme was almost entirely
changed from that OF the night before
Several songs were well rendered in
the first act, among which The Old
Fashioned Table was noticeably excel
lent, and the first part ended with q
laughable burlesquc, the Four Paws
Circus.
The quartette, The Jolly Tramps,
was an exceedingly laughable per-
formauce, and elected storms Of APP
plsuse.
The farce Of Helen's Babies was
remarkably we'll acted and formed an
interesting part Of the programme.
But the feature of The whole per-
formance was the burlesque Black
Robinson Crusoe, in which some local
references were made that brought
down the house.
After some very skilllal clog dancing,
the entertainment co ncluded with the
laughable farce, The White Bear.

Give the Bows Tools.

Almost all boys are naturally me-
chanics. The constructive and imita-
tive faculties are developed, in part, at
very early age. All boys are not
capable of being developed into good,
practical, working mechanics, but most
of them show their bent that way.
There are few cases in which the boy
has no competent idea of the production
of a fabricated result from inorganic
material, but such cases are rare. Given
the proper encouragement and the
means, and many boys whose, mechani-
cal aptness is allowed to run to waste,
or is diverted from its natural course.
would become good workmen, useful
producing members of the Industrial
community.
The mechanical boy ought to have {,
shop of his own. Let it be the attic OF
an unused room, or place in the barn or
woodshed. Give him place and tools.
Let him have good pocketknife, gim-
cts, chisels, gouges, planes, cutting-nip-
pers, saws, q foot-rule, and material TO
work. Let the boy have a chance. II
he is q mechanic it will come out. and
he will do himself credit. If he fails he
is to follow some calling that does not
demand mechanical skiil.-BOSto9 Joatr-

Horrors OF a Famine.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter.
| Dream draws a terrible picture of the
famine prevailing at OIvomiah, Persia.
To-day, he says, / went outside of the
city on one of the highways. / carried
at my side little bag of dried raisins TO
eat on the road. There were crowds of
men, women and children, exhausted
and faint, muttering unintelligibly,
some their lips moving only, and bands
on their mouths, indicating by signs
their desire for food. My raisins I
divided in little portions among these
hundreds, but if | had had load of
raisins they would not have sufficed for
the famishing in this street, and there
are a hundred more such streets in the
city. / saw great many men and
some whole families fleeing out of the
land toward Russia, if perchance they
might find food there, but they were
without provisions for the way.
The next day ] did not see. dead
bodies, but | saw ten persons who cam
not live through two more days. They
had no more hope of life. Some were
speechless, some could not swallow the
bread when il was put in their mouths.
1t would not go down their throats. |
saw young woman, beautiful and
delicate, a widows child, without any
protector or provider, dying of hunger.
j saw heaps of infant children in the
streets. As Hagar cast her son under
the bush that she might not witness his
death, so these mothers have thrown
away their children into the streets that
they may not see them die, The name
OF wheat is precious to the famishing,
more than jewels to the merchant or
treasure or diamonds. Often men ex-
claim with sighs and groans: "Oh har-
vest, oh harvest, shall we ever see a
threshing floor again, or eat bread till we
are satisfied" Many fine ladies have
sold their ornaments and clothes for
food.
Where have walked, the correspon-
dent writes ten days afterward, l have
not seen the dead from famine, but they
abound in other parts of the city; but
men are becoming insane and frantic
from hunger. Many such were in the
streets, and beggars in every condition
without numbers. If you would count
the beggars, they would equal in num-
Der those from whom they beg. Every
hour that you walk in the ciUy you meet
with 200 Of these wretched creatures,
and evey minute twenty emaciated
hands touch you in Importantly. While
the cruel Mussulmans drive away these
ravenous seekers, their sobs and wall
ings fill our ears.

Lighting Central Park.

A necessity has arisen for the lighting
OF Central Park, New York, at night,
and the problem of ways is difficult
one. Gas seems to be out of the ques-
tion, because, Central Park being two
and one-half miles wide, the plant re-
quired would be very large, while tue
illumination through the foliage would
be far from sufficient. Gaslights would
but serve to attract pedestrians at night.
while leaving them all to the mercy of
iootpads in the ample shadows. 1t is
proposed to use electricity, the annu4
cost of which, it is estimated, would be
$4,000 with the plant of, say 100000,
the result being, it is claimed, a uniform,
mellow light, reaching to every nook OF
the great pleasure ground.

Endurance of Engines and engineer.

An English engineer, of Toronto, on
being asked what mileage locomotive
could make without repairs, said that he
knew OF one running 1863, ,66I miles in
five years. But the endurance of an en-
gineer is something wonderful. One
man for several years rode I76 miles a
day. or | ,056 miles a week, or 4,576 for
month of twenty-six working days, or
total of 55 089 miles for one year of 3I3
working days. AS to the responsibili-
ties OF passenger engineer, another said
those of the Americans have been in
creased tenfold in the past few years by
the adoption of the air brake. Now he
can depend on no one in time OF trouble,
nor can he lay blame on anybody. The
entire train is under his control, and he
has often, unknown to the passengers,
aYerted a serious accident by quick ap.
pliance of the brakes.
