The Telephone.

One knows the spring is coming;
There is whitewash; the lamps are smashed
There's rags on the husbands forefnger,
And he often remarks he'll be dashed.
But ever there is a carpet,
For him to shake out and pound
Or tack to step on and swear at,
Or a hammer that cannot be found.

The Cincinnati Times Star has
this to say about Tennessee:
Tennessee is especially adapted
to stoCk-raising. There is an
abundance Of pure water flowing

ingly. Warm stables are not
needed, and ample shelter for
sheep and young cattle is only
occasionally needed to protect
them against rain and snow. Du-
ring the entire year there are but
few days when domestic animals
cannot roam in the woods. The
soil is solid and dry, and though
mixed with a large amount of
clay, dries quickly. It's surface is
generally full Of humus, and is
thickly covered with vegetable
mold, which forms an excellent
manure f + grasses and aromatic
and sucCulent herbs. A valuable
feature Of Tennessee, as a stock
raising country, is its exemption
from the diseases that. of late
years, have been so destructive
to live stock, Sheep are said
never to be attacked with foot
rot, nor hogs with cholera.
In many localities stone, iron,
and coal are to be found in abun.
the latter being a superior
quality, and is by many natives
used for fuel, instead of wood.
Timber is said to be found every.
where, but the annual forest fires !
have in many places kept it so
.hinned out, that while there is s
sufficient for all purposes, there
s not so much that it becomes a {
leavy and expensive job to clear
few acres for cultivation. The
Big Survey" however, is very Il
leavily timbered.

A special to the Cincinnati

saye: President Garfield will

as having said to a Senator: "Po-
lygamy must end-shall be stam-

institutions must be banished. |

your stand in the Senate and fight
this evil until it is crushed out OF
existence. We must, however,
save from illegitimacy tho seven
ty thousand children born in
Utah Of polygamous parents. |
feel bound to do this, because
two of my predecessors saw fit to
recognize the institution by the
appointment of Brigham Young,

Of the Territory"

cessors who made Mr.. Young the

Malone begins to find that he has
created a good deal Of a stir in the
country. The bourbon sheets Of Vir.
ginia denounce him as a traitor; the
Readjusters hail him nc q successful
apostle, and the Republicans look up
on him as u new marshal at the head
of the more progressive Southern ele-
ment, which will finally break the
back Of Bourbonism. The other
night he sat up till 2 O'clock opening
kilograms of congratulations that
poured in upon him from all parts Of
the country. The fact is, Malone has
broken faith with no one, and it is
The height Of injustice to accuse him
of having done so. Bourbonism, as
represented by a majority Of Demo
Gratis in the United States Senate, was
bis bittcrcst foe in Virginia, and the
idea of holding him bound to stand by
II party that had done all it could to
defeat him is absurd. Ben Hill may
become the champion Of the moss
backs of Virginia if he chooses, and
no one will complain, but it requires
a good deal of assurance to declare
that u senator elected oyer their op
position shall spend his time faith

The reverend clergy of Cincin
natl have determined TO oppose
the re election of Mayor Jacob
because he has not enforced the
laws against gamblers, Sunday
liquor.sellers and other n~efarious
public vices. What Cincinnati
most needs is a public sentiment
in favor Of decency, that will sup
port the officers in enforcing the
statutes and ordinances 1t is
impossible to put down these
gross vices in any Of our large
cities, because the men who live
by them hold the balance of
power between parties. There
is no hope of reform in this re
gard until public opinion becom-
es sufficiently exalted to con-
denim any party that makes terms
with the criminal classes.

Blood on "a aarDer,s Cnair.

Memphis Avalanche: Yesterday
morning a dark Completed man Of
medium height and we'll dressed, en-
tered u well.known barher.shop to
get shaved. He looked rather ner-
vous, but spoke quietly and showed
no sign Of mental unsoundness. A
barber showed him to u chair and be-
gan to shaye him. The dark man
didn't seem to like the operation. He
squirmed and twisted, and made
faces Of the most hideous kind. At
last he snatched the razor from the
barber's grasp and drew the sharp
edge across his own throat. The
blood spurted out over the chair, and
the barber gave q yell and fed in
horror. The other BARRIERS and the
customers sitting around also made
themselves seldom without cere nony.
In q moment the shop was cleared,
and the suicide was left alone in his
gore. A policeman was sent for, and
while the messenger was gone after
him, n of the more courageous Of
he bystanders returned to the door
md peeped in. There sat the suicide
adjusting his shirt collar, and
around in great Indignation
t being left alone in the shop. Not
drop of blood was to be seen on the
hair or his person. Then q light
awned upon the boys. They knew
ow hal he was lone other than
hermann, the famous juggler, who
ad taken the opportunity to show a
pecimen Of his power privately. {

was rendered on general principles.
