The Glass of 81 Free Planting.

An interesting episode in the career
of the students Of the University of
Tennessee, especially the class of '8I,
took place on the hill yesterday evening
twas the tree planting by that classt
a custom which has been observed for
some years past by the graduating
classes. The occasion has been post
poned from time to time, on account
of the weather, and 1t was rather
threatening yesterday, keeping many
away, yet there was a fair attendance
by friends Of the boys OF the class of
'5l.
Soon after the appointed hour the
four companies, constituting the cadet
corps, formed and were marched under
command of Commandant s. b
Craw ford, and headed by the splendid
university cornet band, to the spot
where the tree was to be planted,
which is just over the brow OF the
hill, on the north side of the buildings.
The corps was formed in athree sided
square around the excavation for the
tree.
The ceremonies opened with prayer
by the venerable president of
the institution, Rev. DR.. L.
w. Humes, after which the
tree, a beautiful maple, was
placed in position and the dirt SHOW
eled in by the boys of the class, while
Andy Lacy superintended the setting
of it, the band furnishing music TIE
while.
A beautiful ballad was rendered by
strong chorus, and DR.. Humes intrO-
duced Judge II. II. Ingersoll as the
chosen orator of the occasion. Judge
Ipgersoli proceeded in a pleasing and
interest ng strain. to address the class
in well chosen and appropriate tsms,
imparting seasonable and sound ad-
vice which should be cherished up by
the boys, and which, il needed,
will serve them an excellent
purpose in the future. The
exercises were concluded with sn ap-
pr0priate sonnet to the tree by the
class in full chorus, and both cadets
and audience dispersed.
At the side of the tree was also i'm
planted a marble block, neatly en-
graved and finished off, bearing he
inscription Glass of '9l, April, 1881"
with the class motto 'AddIte, Nom
ini, Honoremn in the center, sur-
rounded by a chain vi h 19 links
representing the members of the
class.

A New way Of seEaisg Honey
. NJ by Mall.

Postmaster General James has, it Is
said, devised q plan for sending small
sums Of money through the mails at a
cheap rate. The device consists of a
card having three columns represent
ing nollars, tens and cents, and the
amount TO be drawn Is designated by
punching out figures. The denomina-
tlons will be issued, one for all sums
within 81. so, and the other for all sums
within So. The orders will be payable
to bearer, and the post office will not be
responsible for their safe delivery any
more than for fractional currency, for
which they are a substitute. The order
will be finely printed on bank note pa
per. The postmaster will sell the : $50
card for two or three cents premium,
and the So card for four or five cents pre-
MUM, and will himself punch out the
amount paid, and the buyer will SIM
ply inclose the card IN his letter, and
the receiver can cash 1t at any office.
The postmaster will enter the amount
of the order OH a stub, which will be
the only check the department will
need, as the name Of the sender and
payee are not entered. In order to pre-
vent the use of postal orders as curren-
cy they are to be r%edeemable only for
three months from the date of Issue.

THE LEAD IN THE PREsI-
- DENT. 4
A Machine That Locates the
bullet. -"

A Mondays telegram from Washing
ton says: Under the supervision Of the
attending surgeons Professors Bell aud
fainter this morning made another APP
plication to the Presidents body Of the
electrical apparatus. Professors Bell
and fainter have been almost constant
ly engaged for two weeks In expert
ments with the induction balance, and
have made several notifications and
improvements which greatly add TO its
efficiency. They tried this improved
apparatus upon the Presidents body
for the first time last Saturday, and al
though it Indicated family the location
of the ball 1t was afterward found to be
slightly out Of adjustment, and the ex
pertinent was not regarded as perfectly
conclusive. The result of this MORN
ing's tests, are entirely satisfactory to
Bell and fainter and to attending sur
geons, and it Is now unanimously
agreed that the location Of the ball has
been ascertained with reasonable ex-
actness and certainty, and that it lies
as heretofore stated, in the from: wall
of the abdomen Immediately over the
groin, about five inches below and 10
the right of the naval.
The experiments of this morning
were repeated several times, and were
made by Profs. Bell and fainter indie
dependently, so as to guasd as tar as
possible against errors Arising from any
faulty PERCEPTION Of a single individual
or from m periOn's mistaken judg-
ment as to the comparative intensity Of
SOUNDS. The experiments were varied
and continued until all were convinced
that the bullet had been found or at
least located OF a straight line running
through the body from front to back,
just above the groin on the right side.
1t was not possible to ascertain with
any degree of certainty the depth at
| which the ball lies imbedded on this
imaginary line, but as the front wall of
the abdomen at this point is about ~
| inches in thickness the ball must lie
within that distance of the surface.
These results fully confirm the original
diagnosis of the case made by the at
tending surgeons soon after the Presi-
dent received his injury, and that fact
is as gratifying to them as the COM
plete success of the induction of PrOfs.
Bell aud fainter. This is the first in
stance in which an imbedded bullet has
been accurately and definitely located
without probing, and by fairly scien-
tific methods. There is no intention on
the part of the surgeons to perform an
operation for the removal Of the ball at
present. So long as it gives no trouble
it will be allowed to remain in its pres
ent position. The question of the dis
position to be finally made Of it will be
considered when the President shall
have recovered his strength and shall
be out of danger.

Judge Keys Kind Heart.

Knoxville Tribune: A few day ago
In the federal court one of the nu-
nervous prisoners who had plead guilty
to some trihing violation Of the laws
against distilling-a sturdy, gOOd-faced
man Of fifty years-stepped forth to re-
ceive his sentence. Judge Key pro-
nounced sentence-one hundred dol
lars fine and twelve month continent
in Jail. As the prisoner stepped back
into his place, some N whispered to
the Judge that it was a hard case, that
he had a family and nobody to support
them during his Imprisonment. The
Judge called him:
"Are you a married MANI"
"My wife is dead, SIR"
"Have you any children?"
eyes, sir, | have three children"
chow old are they?"
"rhe oldest is ten, the next five and
the youngest is two years old"
"WhO is there to take care of them
while you are in jail?"
Nobody, sir"
"Ill suspend judgement in your case
during good behavior. Go back to your
children, and let liquor alone hereaf-
ter"
We will venture to say that that en-
tence did more toward the reformation
Of the peason than the most rigorous
enforcement of the severest penalty
could have accomplished.

Am Epasperated Jury.

Jim Webster was up al a witness pes

rel broke out I'm front Of the Court
House a few days previous. The Judge
said:
"Turn to the jury, Mr.. Witness, and
tell them what you know about the
fight. You must always address the
jury"
GAN right Judge" said Jim turning
to the jury, Gentlemen of the jury,
Deacon SnOdgrass was passin' along by

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette foOts up the political COM
rplexiOn of the National House Of Repre-
s~entatives as follows:
The complexion of she next House Of
Representatives, as compiled from the
election returns Of tho last Congress
siOnal Directory, show a Republican
majority Of one over all in the next
House, or l4S without counting the
three Republican vacancies in New
York, or the Frye vacancy In Maine, so
that contrary TO the very general I'm
preston the complexion Of the next
House does not depend upon the cleo
ton of successors to Miller and Lapham
In addition to the l4S members, which
ia one more than a majority, the Re
gpublicans will have the votes Of Hyatt
Smyth, OF New York, and Of Brumm,
the Republican GreenbSckcr, in Mis-
souri,, giving them n certainty Of l5l
votes. If they carry three Republican
districts in New York and II vacant
district In Maine this fall, they will
have a total vote Of l5S with which 60
organize the next House. The Demo
Gratis will elect a successor to Wood In
New York, and probably Jones Of Tex
as, and spear, Of Georgia, will vote
with them, although the latter has In
dictated a purpose to go over to the Re
publicans. There are two Readjuster
votes in Virginia which are likely to so
for the Republican candidate for speak
er. There is no foundation for the be-
lief that the G~rcenbackers hold the bal
ance Of power In the next House.
