4 Million Cnaes q Yenr.

An interviewer asked Nj William ii.
Appleton, the head of the great publish
ING house in New York, what was the
best selling book published by his firm.
His answer was 90 'Webster's Speller,
and it has the largest sale of any book in
the world except the Bible We sell q
million copies year" Upon the inter-
viewer expressing his astonishment at
this statement, Mr.. Appleton added:
" Yes. and we have been selling 1T at
that rate for forty years. The year fol-
lowing the emancipation OF the slaves we
sold 1, 500, 900, because every negro IN
the South thought it only necessary to
have a 'Webster's Speller to read. At
ter that year it fell back to the original
million, and has never varied. We sell
them in cases of seventy-two dozen, and
they are bought by all the large dry
goods houses and supply stores, and
furnished by them to every crossroads
store in the country.
It was In 1888, ninety-seven years ago.
that Noah Webster published the little
work which he afterward named "Spell-
ing Book" He first called it, " First
Part of a Grammatical Institute OF
the English Language" He must
have soon si1nplifed this name, be-
cause we find DR.. Franklin writing to
him in 1889:
s'Permit me to make one observation
that imagine may regard your inter
est. It is that your Spelling Book Is
miserably printed here (Philadelphia()
SO as in many places to be scarcely legi-
BILE, and on wretched paper. If this is
not attended to, and the new one lately
| advertised as coming out should be
preferable in these respects, it may hurt
the sale of yours.
Mr.. Webster probably acted upon this
hint, for the book, as we see, has held
its own to the present day. Noah Web
ster lived upon the copyright of his
| Spelling Book for nearly half century,
| it is said; and was thus enabled to pro
/ duce his great dictionary, which yielded
him no profit at all, although it has beer
q valuable estate to his familI-

Nashville american: The revised
roll Of the Legislature, which we
publish this morning, does not afford
as hopeful a prospect of electing a
Democrat TO the United States Sem
ate as we could desire.
In the Fifth Senatorial district,
we are quite hopeful of the election
of Lutte Smith over McEiwee.
Roane, White, Putnam and Cumber.
land give the former 867 majority.
We have not yet heard from Nor
gan, Scott, Fentress and Overton.
In 1876, these counties gave Mr..
Tilden 159 majority.
The Senator elected in the Sixth
district is a Democrat instead of a
Republican, as heretofore published,
and the Senator from the Twenty
third district a Republican instead
of a Democrat, as previously given
ia our list.
We fear that Keith, Democrat, is
beaten by four or five votes, in the
Twent.first district, though this re-
mains TO be confirmed.
Concediug to the Republicans the
Fifth and Twenty-frsC districts, the
party strength in the Senate would
be: Democrats IA, Republicans II,
giving the former the control of that
body.
II is 70. among the improbabili
ties that the organization of the
House may fall into the hands OF
the Republicans.
Conner, Democrat, of Lauderdale
whose election we have hereto
fore claimed, is defeated by Boy d
Republican. Dawson, of Monroe
and Loudon, published as Demo
crat, belongs to the other side
Foute, Republican, and Stewart
Democrat, are tied in Polk ano
Bradley, though the circumstances
show that Stewart is elected. A
negro who voted for Foute admitted
afterwards that he had been in the
county only short time, aud made
an affidavit to that effect. The afti
davit is TO accompany the returns

The Grand Master says of the
membership Of the order:
l am rejoiced that can congratu-
late you upon year more favorable
in It's results, as indicated by the re-
turns, than any since 1876. Since
that time the membership has been
steadily decreasing, the net loss in
1879 being reported as 522. This
year. / am informed by the Grand
Secretary, it will not exceed $50,
and that the degrees conferred will

that the tide has turned, and if the
system Of visitation be adopted we
will again spring forward with new
life and energy. Non afiIiates will
return to the performance of their
duties; and those brethren who, for
a time, have devoted themselves to
other associations will no longer al

worthy they may be, to deprive
them of the greater delights and
loFlier pleasures of a thorough
knowledge aud practice of the ven'
erable ritual and preCepts of the
noblest of all earthly orders.

Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm tells this
interesting story in the Chicago Tub
une: "One Of the early rectors of
Trinity church, Pittsburg, used to
omit from the form of prayer the
petition to be delivered from sudden
death, aud WAS in the habit of pray
ing that he might die suddenly.
When quite old he visited the grave
of his wife at sunset, and while talk
ing with friend of the beauty of
the western sky as an emblem o:
the death of Christian, his prayer
was answered. and he dropped dead.
We are apt 10 forget, when friends
are taken away by some calamity,
that the All Father was with them,
and that other help there can be
none, and human love is as power
less in the best appointed sick room,
as in the widest midnight storm in
midocean."

Fraternity OF Free and Accepted
Mss0ns Of the State of Tennessee
was held in Masonic Temple, Nash
Vile, Monday. 9Th inst. Grand
Master Wilbur F, Foster submitted
his annual report. OF his official rul-
ings during the year he says:
A large majority Of the questions
propounded to me during the year
involved 10 new points of Masonic
Law, and we're answered by simple
reference TO the Constitution or
Edicts of this Grand Lodge or to

however, to the following, some of
which | am aware are either in con-

Dainty EatnrSs

A menagerie elephant eats about one
hundred pounds Of the best timothy hay
every -four hours Girafies, camels,
zebras and deer are also hay-eating ami
mails, but are not so particular IN reference
to its quality as the elephant Sea-hons
have to be fed on fish, usually fresh and
salt mackerel, each animal taking twelve
to fifteen each meal twice day, and con-
summing altogether one hundred pounds
of fish daily. Next in point of delicate
eaters come the polar bears, whoseregular
diet is bread soaked III milk, with fish now
and then for a change The black bears
are also given bread, one hundred pounds
being used daily. Vegetables of almost
every sort are fed literally to the different
animals = cabbage, potatoes, carrots,
onions and turnips. The elephants are
great cabbage eaters, in addition to their
standard diet, hay. The giratfes, singular
ly enough, are great onion eaters, while
the deer and goats, and animals of tho
COW species, eat carrots and turnips and
potatoes. Bran and oats and corn are
also literally stributed-mostly once or
twice n week among the hay eating
animals But the orang-Outang is the
most dainty feeder of all, living on bread
and honey, beef and potatoes-a diet
Slarmiugly like that of humanity.
