Nashville Man in a Bad Humor.

A Nashville Man in a Bad HumOr,
Pulaski Citizen.
A Nashville man was out at Lynn
vile last week buying sheep. He is
Dutchman (and proud of it) and a
jolly fellow, hnt with a temper like
all of us. He had quite lot or sheep
the other day loading for shipment,
with some negroes assisting him,
and had about persuaded the sheep
into the cars, when an old wether
concluded not to emigrate and tried
to pass the guards. As it did one of
the negroes grabbed at it and caught
it by the tail, and the impetus of the
sheep was such that it went right
along and left it's tail in the negro'S
hand. 1t was actally pulled out by
the roots. The owner saw his sheep
mutilated, the tail quivering in the
negro's hand and its owner bound
ing away over the hills.
Hdine Got, vot you bulls him for

"How'S.I / gwine ter do dat when

"Stick it in yer dang mouth an

and Sambo lodged around a corner
to escape a half brick thrown by the
dutehman, who was so mad he could
do nothing but look red and sober.

Murfreesboro News.

The all important topic In this
county is the condition of the crops.
On this subject little can be said
that is encouraging, although as bad
as things appear, II would be easytO
conceive of them being worse.
The rains which visited the western
and northern portions Of the county
last Sunday, have undoubtedly been
of great advantage, yet they will
not serve to repair the great damage
which has been done by the drOuth.
In the large section of the county,
which has had no rain for nearly
two months, the outlook Is very dis
couraging. The crops are in a pitia-
BILE condition, and 1t would be diff
cult to estimate the extent Of the
damage, or to say how much would
now be gained by copious rains. A
good rain would, however, in addi-
tion to helping the starved corn and
cotton, bring out tho grass and af-
ford pasturage until the cold wealth
er comes. Without such q rain the
farmers will be compelled to feed
their stock and greatly lesson their
winter supplies of provender. Many
of the clover fields are about TO die
out, and rain would save them.

whlpping a rrlghtenea Isorse.

It seems to be characteristic fail
ing of all coachmen to lay the lash
upon horse that exhibits fear at an
object in the street or beside the
road. Mr.. Bergh, President of the
New York Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, says in
the organ OF that society, what ev-
cry. reasoning being ought to know,
and that is to never whip your
horse for becoming frightened at
any object by the roadside, for if he
sees a stump, a log, or arheap of tan
bark in the road, and, while. he is
eyeing it carefully, and about to
pass it, you strike him with the
whip, it is the log, or stump, or the
tan-bark that is hurting him in his
way of reasoning, and the next
time he will be more frightened.
Give him time to smell ali of these
objects, and use the bride TO assist
you in bringing him carefully tothe
object of fear. aa

MIX pans FOcus the SUM. Rays.

While the family of John Kinney,
living north Of the village, on the
Barber road, were at dinner one day
last week the shingles on the roof
of the shed adjoining the house were
discovered to be on fire. This was
extinguished by the promp applica-
tiOn of few pals of water, but the
origin OF the fire remained a mystic
ry. On subsequent day aud atthe
same hour, noon, they were found
to be on fire again. On Sunday
there was like occurrence which led
to a closer investigation, and, by act
ual experiment, il was found that
the fire was the result Of reflected
heat from milk-pans left to dry on
a shelf attached TO the outside of
the shed, where the SUMS rays fell
upon them. At IL o'clock the re-
Election was thrown directly UPON
the ends of the shingles at the caves
and set them on fire. In view OF
this known fact IL would be well for
those in the habit Of drying milk
pans in the sun to use proper pre-
caution.

An English Review of Jcff. Davis
Book


The Saturday Review concludes
long article on Hon. Jefferson
Davis book in the following terms,
AS the criticism OF a recognized
leader in English literary circles,
the extract is worthy of notice:
His volumes are emphatically adj
dressed, in the first place, to his
country men. Northern and South
ern, many of whom, and chiefly
those in the most prominent posi-
tions, were actors or sufferers in the
terrible war; and, in the. second
place, to select, serene, but compar-
atively limited students of political
history everywhere, who will prize
such a record for the matter con-
tanned in it, as much as for the style
in which that matter is worked out.
To these, and therefore to the cause
of historical research in=general,
Mr.. Jefferson Davis has In his hon
ored retirement, with much dignity
and simplicity of purpose, offered a
contribution of solid value, and for
this we tender to him our sincere
acknowledgements.

to the committee OF deacOns that
the widow was SO pretty no man

each Of the committee quietly called
round to see If he told the truth,
and then not one Of 'em dared to
rise up In meeting, with her present,
and say the Clergyman WASN'T right.
By sharp management even a jury
Of deacons can be handled.

Now is the time to fix your ground

1t takes more work to fix 1t while
so dry but it will be better as the
grass and weed roots will die. Pre-

suits, sow your seed in drills, culti-
vate well, hiliing them up the last

prolific kinds to grow, though not
the best for table use. The purple

BETTE HOWELL HOLLOWAY.
Up a highsWestern peak
With many a CLINT and freak,
Pictured in light,
On comes the full, fair moon
And doth the sky illume
In goodly white.
Slowly down the eastern knobs
Comes the radiant light and robs
The gorges of its shade.
Stealing through the shadoWy pines,
Penciling bright, artistic lines
AdoWn each glade.
Now it glints the waters tide,
Making it a silver guide
Along the way.
And on the level valley-Iand
Where white-eyed daisies thickly stand
1t sheds its rays.
oh! lovely, lovely mountain moon,
The softened beauty of the noon
Adorns thy path.
After the toll and heat of day
How welcome is thy restful ray
And aftermath.
