NO Need for Springs.

1t has come to be thought almost
Necessary that everJ summer, from
week to three months, should be spent
at some noted springs in order to put
the system in proper shape and re-
place the wear of the previous months.
This is all unnecessary for just as
much good can be obtained right at

plants use Lylle's Elixer.

DEATH OF DR.. SEARS.

In the death Of Rev. Barnas
Sears, D: D., the country and es>
pecially the southern States has
suffered a great loss. AS agent for
the Peabody fund, DR.. Sears has
done more than any other man hV-
ing to create a sentiment in the
southern states in favor OF free
schools. There is scarcely city,
village or hamlet in Tennessee, that
has not felt the influence of his benz
efactions. Here in Knoxville, for
several years, liberal donations were
made in aid of our city schools, and
their excellence now is due in a
large measure to the encouragement
given them in their infancy by DR.
Sears. He was a a true trlen'
to popular education, and fortu
nately was permitted to occupy
position where his heart and sou
and mind were supplied with facil
ties for the performance of eficier
labor in his chosen field. as
DIR. Sears was for many yea
president of Brown universit..
Before going to Providence, the Sc
Of that institution, he was promine
in educational matters in Mass

several books on educational su

THE DEMOCRATIC GUBERNA'
TORIAL CANVASS.

Elsewhere we publish brief notes
from various counties in the state
showing the progress of the demo'
cratic gubernatorial campaign. If
the counties thus reported, and these
reports have all been gathered from
democratic sources, are fair indi-
cation of the sentiment of the party,
the lov-tax alias repudiating element
will predominant in the state cons
| vention: The only thing that will
prevent it and save the party from
nominating a repudiationist of the
Marks or Savage school, will be the
action of the East Tennessee coun~
ties. But even here the outlook is
not what we should like to see it by
any means. There is much to dis"
courage state credit men, east Of the
nominations.
/ If the Cooke county democracy
are properly represented in our re-
ports, they are in the same linz
! with Marks, and nothing but sub
:: mission of the question to tn
people for ratification will satlsf..
them. In Polk county, the repor
is all that the NEST rabid repudla
ZIONIST could ask for or desire: L
Rhea county it is but little, if an
z better. In Greene one of tn
J, worst repudiationists in the stat
was chosen delegate, after he ha
offered resolution repudiating tn
'e bonds in aid of railroads. We d
: not hope for much from Sullivan
So East Tennessee will not be re-
- resented by solid column of sta
70 credit men, we fear.
in We take it that Davidson, Maur
IS Giles and Montgomery, four of Il
largesr counties in Middle Tenne
see, will be represented by sta
- credit men, and Rutherford pc
: haps. They will exercise lar
influence, and may turn the SCI
against the repudiating faction

Courtahlptn Greenland.

There is something exceedingly mel
ancholy in the accounts which are given
of the customs of courtship in Green
land. Generally women enter upon the
blessed estate with more willingness
and less solicitude than men. The
women of Greenland are an exception
to the rule. A Greenlander having
fixed his affections upon some female,
acquaints his parents with the state of
his heart. They apply to the parents of
the girl, and il the parents are thus far
agreed the next proceedings to appoint
two female negotiators whose duty Is to
broach the subject to the young lady.
This is n matter OF great tact and deli
cacy. The lady ambassadors do not
shock the young lady to whom they are
sent, by any sudden or abrupt avowal
of the awful subject OF their mission.
Instead of doing this, they launch out
in praises OF the gentleman who seeks
her hand. They speak Of the splendor
of his house, the sumptuousness of his
furniture, of his courage and skill in
catching seals, and other accomplish
ments.
The lady, pretending to be affronted
even at these remote hints, runs away,
tearing the ringlets of her hair as she
ing got the consent of her parents, pursue
her, take her to the house of her des-
tined husband, and there leave her.
Compelled to remain there, she sits
for days with disheveled hair, silent and
detected, refusing every kind of susten-
ance, till at Inst, IL kind entreaties do
not prevail, she Is compelled by force,
and even by blows, to submit TO the
detested union.
In some cases the Greenland women
faint at the proposals of marriage; in
others they fly to the mountains, and
only return when compelled to do so by
the hunger and cold. If one cuts of
her hair 1t is sign that she is deter
mined to resist TO death. The Green
land wife is the slave OF her husband,
doomed TO life of toll, drudgery and
privation.

A Vikings War Ship.

An interesting discovery has Just been
made at Sandeherred, in Norway, of n
Scandinavian war vessel. Buried un-
der hillock n sailing vessel has been
found, which is thought to have be-
longed to those terrible highwaymen OF
the ocean. the Vikings, or Norwegian
pirates. II measures about seventy-five
feet in length, and II in an almost per-
feet state of preservation. It Is armed
and equipped as though IL had been
abandoned where found wbcn on the
point OF sailing on some D, venturous
expedition. All the ap artus used
by nautical Norsemen ar met with In
this ancient craft, the most of which is
still pretty well intact There are frag-
ments of sails and cordage remaining
as well as many specimens either perfect
or incomplete of utensils and instru-
ments, which have been eagerly exam
ined by antiquaries. Among other
things are n number of pieces of oak
wood, peculiarly shaped, wrought with
O certain elegance, and followed out in
the center, to admit of ropes being
shields, or bucklers, have also been
found, or rather the iron portion of the
bucklers, tor the wooden part is en-
tirely gone. Near the rudder the skele-
tons OF three horses were discovered.
The form of the shields and also the
manner in which they are suspended
round the interior of the ship fs abso-
lutely the same as one sees represented
in the beautiful tapestry of Bayeux, in
Normandy, which dates back TO the
eleventh century. The ship IL not yet
completely dug out OF its present prison
near the sea shore. When this has been
accomplished the ship--which is
thought TO be still seaworthy-will be
launched and brought to Christiania
TO be deposited In the University
Museum.

C0urtesys

Courtesy Is not merely an observance
of the cony entionalities of society; il is
n reality founded on common sense and
manly feeling. An uncourteous man is
one Of the greatest bores in the world.
He offends everybody, and instead of
being treated with kindness and con-
sideration by his neighbor, he is gener-
ally intensely disliked, and no language
is sufficiently strong enough TO express
his demerits. To be courteous is simply
10 pay proper Difference to the feelings of
others. 4 well educated man is generally
courteous. The fact of his mind being
liberalized teaches him the necessity of
exercising this virtue. Benevolent men
are always courteous; the desire to give
pleasure to others is sufficient induce
ment for them to cultivate this great
quality. 1t is Just as easy TO he cour--
teous as the reverse. The time has gone
by when bluntness is taken as n sign of
honesty. 1t has been found that dis
honest men can be blunt aud rude as
well as honest men; and compliments
or Difference to the feelings of others has
ceased to be considered n mark of insin-
cerity. A person who is habitually
discourteous, generally possesses but
little sensibility, and be cares nothing
about wounding the feelings OF others,
excusing himself by saying that he only
speaks what he thinks. No man Is
bound by any law to speak what he
thinks; that IL, TO put forth his own
private opinion whatever It may be, no
matter whether It wounds the feeling Of
his dearest friend. OF course, IL per-
sons opinion Is requested, he must tell
the truth; but even that can be done In
courteous language which will wound
no one. II courtesy were more generally
practiced, Il would be conducive of the
best results. Mutual civility among all
classes of society would be found q
potent remedy for more than half the
social evils that now oppress us.

The London Times gives an account
OF Il method Of reporting late debates in
the mouse OF commons by telephone
lately adopted in the Office of that Jour-
nal. A type-setting machine has for
some time been used in the Office, to
which, 1t is stated. fair workman can
attain an average speed Of one hundred
lines an hour, even when composing
from manuscript which he has 10 read
for himself; and this speed can be
doubled, or nearly so, when the oper-
ator is assisted by a reader, and thus
composes from dictation. The mode in
which the telephone has been brought
into use in connection with this ma
chine is thus described: The conductors
OF this journal, having obtained permis-
sion from the metropolitan board of
works TO lay down the necessary wiIvs
in the subway of the embankment,
formed new connection between the
house OF commons and the Office. and
placed one of Edison's loud-speak-
ing telephones at either end. The
immediate result of this arrangement
has been TO bring the compositor at the
machine into direct communication
with the parliamentary reporter at the
house and 10 enable the debates to be
reported and printed from half to three
quarters OF an hour later than had pre-
viously been possible. The notes made
by the reporter can be read directly into
the telephone-receiver in a room adioin-
ing the gallery either by the reporter
himself when relieved or by another
person employed for the purpose, and
the compositor at the machine in the Of
nee sits with his ears in juxtaposition
with the other terminal Of the instru-
xn1n III 4 r n
the most efiicacious for the purpose of
shutting out distracting sounds ofother
kinds is to place the disc of the telephone
above and behind the compositor and
then TO arrange two tubes, each with
two trumpet-shaped extremities, in
such a manner that these extremities
are applied at one end to the two sides
of the telephone disc and at the other
end TO the two ears of the compos-
itor. The compositor is also furnished
with speaking instrument, with key
for ringing bell, and bell which Is
rung from the house-a simple code OF
bell signals, consisting OF one, two or
three strokes, sufficing for the ordinary
requirements of each message. The
compositor announces by the bell that
he is ready, receives a sentence, strikes
the bell to indicate that he understands
it, sets up the type with his machine,
strikes the bell again for the reader to
continue his dictation, and so on until
the work is carried as far as time will
allow. If there is any doubt or diff
Guilty abont the words, bell signal will
cause them TO be repeated, or explana-
tions can be sought and received by
direct vocal communication. In this
power, indeed. resides one of the chief
advantages of the method, and one
which ought TO lead TO greater accur-
acy than has ever previously been at
tainable. The names of people, places,
etc, can be spelled out letter by letter If
there is any doubt about them.
