A convict escaped yesterday morning
from the convict farm and was tracked by hounds
to this city, four miles of the way being covered
intervals with water. He was arrested near the
city limits by Mr.. Sharpe and lodged in jail His
clothes were wet and a chain was on his right
ankle. He gives his name as jesse Jones, and says
he couldn't get along with them at the farm and
ran away; that he was convicted of highway rob-
berry at Mobile in 1878 and sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary. Having been notified of
his arrest here, Mr. Rouse came down and re-
turned with the negro to the farm. An immense
crowd collected in front of the jail when they left

To Timhuefno RniI

The New York Herald publishes long
account of French projects for the building of a
great trans-Saharan railroad, which has for one
ofitS stations Timbuctoo, once the subject of q
rhmying competition in Punch. One of the most
suggestive verses in which rhyme was found for
Timbuctoo was that which said:
fl were a cassowary,
On the plains of Timbuctoo,
I would eat missionary,
Skin and bones and hymn-book too.
Since the day when that verse was written little
has been heard of Timbuctoo except through
reports of missionaries, and probably very
little viii be heard of it until the French railroad
is built

Some Of the Paris editors who do not
like Mons. Gambetta have found fruitful theme
for in his readiness to accept invitations to
dinner from the clothiers, wine merchants, and
commercial travellers and to expOund to these mer-
camille men, in elaborate after-dinner speeches,
his views on the questions of the day. On the
other hand, NJ Gallardet, in his latest letter 10 the
Courier dcS Flats UliS, appauds the political sense
of Gambetta in thus making friends with the bust

Awake arise! thy frame is big:
Thy name is passed from mouth to mouth
From East TO West, from North TO South,
Men of business, men of wealth,
Where'er they meet. ask of your health;
And men renowned, our Lowell, Noyes,
With one accord lift up their voice
And tell the natives over there
That trichinosis is n scare.

A Baltimore girl sent the followil
beautiful lines to her lover:
Silver shine and so do tin
the way love you it is a sin.
the rose is red the vile is blue
the pink is pretty and SO is you.
if you love me as love you
no girl can cut our love in two
Show as the grass grows round the stump
chuse you for my sugar lump.
We live between the river and bay
and will get married whenever you say.

And the other, Tn told.

The old lady, as il is said,
PIucked out the black hairs from his head,
She appeared TO be shamed,
As If she'd be blamed

The young miss wuz slightly inclined
To be Nv a different mind.

An Inquisitive Inquirer.

Mr.. EDITOR: see in the journals and
circulars that the editor of the CHRONICLE
is one of large number of vice-presidents
of the Grand Cotton Exposition, to be held
at Atlanta this fall, who reside in our city.
VIII he permit an inquisitive citizen anony-
mously to ask why SO many Knoxvillians are
appointed to such positions, and what they
are going to do about it? Do they contem-
plate removal to the cotton States and cul-
ture of the great Southern staple? Or
are they men bers of a mammoth
company IN enabrg0 for the erection
of cotton mills here, and the manufacture of
cotton fabrics? If not, why are they ap-
pointed ice-presidents of cotton exposi-
ton And when are they going to per
form An anxious public wait on tiptoe of
expectation to see or hear of something
these worthless have done, or said. or thought
or imagined, that may add to glory and
power and honor and renown of old King
Cotton. Possibly they are the petitioners
who seconded the exemption, by our last
legislature, of 200 pounds of cotton-seed to
each head of Q family, and intend speedily
to avail themselves of this privilege by
growing cotton-seed around Knoxville
They are a1 laboring men and practical
agriculturists from Col. Crozier, who re-
lates that, in the esteem of his friend, he
knows less and can talk more about that
subject than any man now alive to Colonel
Henderson, whose practical knowledge of
the science of the hoe handle is proverbial
and whatever they do will doubtless meet
the public approval. But what is it !? And
how? And when VIII not the CHRONICLE
give us light? INQUIsIroR
