An Astonished Minister.

ridiculous scene occurred at Palny-
rarecently. The furnace in the basement
of the church is reached by trap-dOOr
which is right beside the pulpit. There
was a new preacher there from abroad,
and he did not know anything about the
trap door. Before the service COM
menced, the sexton went down there to
fix the fire, before the new minister az
rived. The minister had Just got warmed
I'D in his sermon, and was picturlng to
his hearers hell in all its heat. He had
got excited and told Of the lake Of burn
ing birthstone below, where the devil
was the stoker, and where the heat was
ten thousand times hotter than pollti-
cal campaign, and where the souls of the
wicked would roast, and fry, and stew,
until the place froze over. Wiping the
perspiration from his face, he said, point
ing to the floor, "Ah, my friends, look
down into that seething, burning lake,
and" Just at this point the trap door
raised little, and the sections face, with
coal smut all over it, appeared. He
wanted to come up and hear the sermon.
If hell had broke loose, the new minis
ter could not have been more astonlshed.
He stepped back, grasped his manu-
script and was just about to jump
from the pulpit, when a deacon on the
front seat said, "Its all right, brother,
he has only been darn 6eIoeO to see
about the fire." The sexton came up
and shut down the trap door, the color
came back to the face Of the minister,
and he went on, though the incident
seemed to take the tuck all out Of him.
A travelling man who happened to be at
the church tells us that he knows the
minister was scared, for he sweat so that
the perspiration run right down on the
carpet and made puddle as though
dipper of water had been tipped over
there. The minister says he was not
scared, but we don't see how he could
help it-Peck's Sum-

Well Said.

In the Christian Union we find the
following in letter from an American
boy in a Paris school. 1t shows how a
single word out Of real history may ST.
lence conceited ignorance.
I never went blowing about my coun-
try when I saw foreigner. L was al
ways sorry for him when met a French
or an English boy in Boston or New
York. But these French boys blow SO |!
I never liked the English much before,
but now I stand up for them. They
speak the English language-and that's
something-and they don't lie.
To-day a French boy said to ne in
school that the French always whipped
in war, and that they beat the English
every time.
He had been blowing against the En-
glish and the Americans, and I couldn't
get French enough to answer back; but,
when it came to that, I put up both
hands like trumpet, and I whispered
through it as loud as I could, "Water-
loo p
[ never saw a boy so mad. He turned
red in the face and shook his fist at me,
and just then NJ. Mandil, the teacher,
shouted an. Guillaume, piql1et une
qa0rt hcre" THAT means one-quarter
of an hours piquet at recess I didn't
care for thai. I'd got even with that
boy Dragging about French soldiers.

Take Turns.

One cannot always be amiable. Not
every man, and possibly not every wom-
an, is saint. It is good rule for the
husband and wife to take turns in getting
cross. When the thing comes upon
both at once the house is apt to become
not conservatory, but hot house.

HIS HONOR, JUDGE LYNCH
Four Negroes Hanged by a Mob
OF from Two to Three
Hundred.

New ORLEANS, March ia special
to the Democrat from Little Rock,
Ark, says: Information has been
received of the lynching of Green
Harris, Giles Peck, John Woods and
Burt Hoskins, the four negroes i'm
plicated in the murder of Miss Matte
lshmael, near Jonesboro, Craighead
county, by a gang of masked men,
varl usly estimated from 200 to 800.
Tue lynchers sprang from the
woods, surrounded the building
where the negroes had been
temporarily paced, overpowered d the
guards, and taking the prisoners,
hung them to tree near ny,
and dispersed as silently and as
quickly as they had gathered. It is
] claimed that prior to the execution
the negroes made a full confession
OF the crime, giving a detailed ac-
count of tue crime, saying that Miss
Ishmael was killed for refusing to
disclose the hiding p ace of large
sum of money which her father had
received a few days before the trag-
edy occurred. The lynching has in-
tensltied excl ement in the neighbour
hood of the crime.

SENATE-Senate bills to authorize
the estabI shment of State normal
schools, and to prevent the inter-
marriage of first cousins, passed
third reading.
HoUsE.-The house was engaged
throughout the day in the passage
of house bills on second reading.
The house bill to give further
time for the completion of the East
Tennessee and Western North G. 4ro>
lima Railroad passed third reading.
Both the committees on charitable
institutions visited the Tennessee
asylum for the insane. They found
that it contained 400 inmates, while
there are in the State besides, 500
lunatics. They will probably re-
commend that the legislature make
a sufficient appropriation to build an
addition to the present asylum,
sufficient to accommodate the 800
unprovided for.
Mr.. Coulter intimated in the house
that there were certain gentlemen
who had tacit understanding to
block the way to an adjustment of
the Safe debt by adjournments,
discussion on local bills and fllibus-
tering movements, but the States
credit element were determined not
thus to allow the most important
general measures to be defeated.
Governor Hawkins will send in
his message recommending the &C
captance of the bondholders' propo-
sition Monday. Representative Har-
rison will introduce a bill on that
day covering the bondholders propo-
sition.

Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1881-03-13

The question of releasing the pen
itenttary will come before the press
ent legislature, and there will prob
ably be some objections to it. We
confess that there are objectionable
features connected with LEASING such
institutions. But when viewed from
business standpoint, and if there
ever was time when the question
should be considered from that
point, now is the time in Tennessee,
sound reason will convince any one
that it is best that the penitentiary
should be leased, and leased for
cash. We need money and cannot
afford to lose it on the penitentiary,
We think it should be leased again
to the highest bidder.
We have heard it urged that a new
penitentiary should be built, and
that the labor of the convicts should
be used for that purpose. We are
opposed to that. Ii we must have q
new penitentiary, let it be let GU by
contract to the low. st bidder for
cash. We do not propose to furnish
work for the penitentiary lessees by
giving them a big job in the con-
struction Of new penitentiary. But
let it be let out to the lowest bidder
for cash, so that honest mechanics
may have a chance at it. The con-
struction of such a building by the
couvic would be fruitful of jobs,
and would prove loss to the tax
payers. But do business on bust
ness principles; lease the penit n
tiary to the highest bidder and make
the lessees pay cash, and then if
the State wants that kind of work
done, let it out to the lowest bidder
aud pay cash for it. That is BUSH
ness, and we will be saved from
scandals and swindling jobs.

SENATOR BROWN, of Georgia,

SENATOR Brown, of Georgia,
does not share in the jealousy aud
opinions of the bourbons. He
thinks that the administration 0.
President Garfield starts out under
the brightest auspices. Tho coun-
try is prosperous, and he says mo
section is dissatisfied. Ol the
whole he regards the new admins
tration as having bright prospects.
We commend his words to the hard
sheIled partizans. with thick crani>
ums, as worthy Of their study, If
they are capable Of such a thing.
Mr.. Brown is a Democrat, and a
Southern man. He is a man of
wealth, and all his interests are III
the South. No one but a lunatlc
would accuse hm Of being un>
friendly to the South. He is a
man of intellect, and knows what
he is talking about. We believe he
represents the sentiments of q large
maj prity of the real people of the
South. And still, he does not fad
it necessary to beiittle the Presi-
dent OR his policy. Let smaller
men, who know less, but talk df-
ferently, hang their heads, and
think before they speak.

London, July 12.-After long re-
view Of Mr.. James Parton's article,
"The Power of Public Plundern in the
July number of the North American
Revie,c, the Times concludes as follows:
"It is small wonder that the gigantic
experiment America is working out
should not always 60 without fault.
But the Americans have at least the
merit that they are perfectly alive to
their own faults. and that when their
faults become intolerable they set
themselves to cure them. Mr.. Parton q
picture is q gloomy one, but there is an
other side to it, and the time has not
yet come for him to despair of the Re-
public"
The Times this morning, in an edi-
torial, says: .'Whether the author Of
the attack on President Garfield Is a
lunatic or merely morbid brooder on
imaginary wrongs there is no doubt
that his crime will do more than vol
umes Of argument to turn the atten-
tion Of Americans to the weak points
Of their political system"

The Missing whnlcrs.

San Francisco, July 12.-The whaler
Thomas Pope, Capt. Millard, arrived
this evening from the Arctic. She
left the straits June 21st. The day be-
fore leaving she spoke the whaler
Progress, Capt. Barker, and from her
learned that the Indians near the east
cape had found the two. missinglwhal-
ers, Vigilant and Mount Walleston.
The Indians found three corpses only
on board the Vigilant. From their
appearance it was evident that they
had died in the 6rst year Of their cap
tivity in the ice. The Indians brought
away from the Vigilant some money, a
spy glass, bomb and fowling gun. No
one dead or alive found on the Wallas-
ton. The revenue cutter Corwin has
sent q sledge party in search of the In
dians, to recover the articles named
and obtain further information. No
news from the Jeanette.
