A lively exchange, whose editor

dent that if things continue as they
have lately we may expect to wake
up some morning and read dis
patches like the following: "Queen

men. No nitro-glycerine has been
discovered in the royal apartments

put dynamite into the Prince of

out riding in the Long Walk the

A Great Mistake,

The notion which has long pre-
vailed in this country that print
ing office is the very place for boy
to acquire an education has done
more harm than any other false
idea that ever got into the heads of
the common people. 1t has turned
the course and destroyed the power
of many a youth who would have
made a prosperous and useful citi-
zen IN some other capacity requir-
ing less learning. 1t has taken
into the printing offices everywhere
boys possessing not even q smatter-
ing of the knowledge necessary to
fit them for the first and simplest
duties to be performed therein.
The consequence is that they be
come nothing more than mere
"botches" and ''rats" to rob those
whose requirements qualify them
for the business. They learn how
to spell common words and how to
set type in their slouchy way, and
then set themselves up as printers,
which they can never become with
out education and brains. 1t is a
business not to be learned in a year
or two. Years of constant prac-
tice, even with the most favorable
surroundings and advantageous ia
cilities, are not sufficient to give
one a full knowledge of the bust
ness. The more that one learns
about it the more he see yet to be
learned.
1t is true that a correct knowl
edge of the art of printing is a val
liable adjunct to even a collegiate
course, but those who would avail
themselves of it should at least &C
quire q common school education
beforehand. If they do not nine
oct of every ten will fail. A print
ing office is no place for unlettered
boys or men, unless they want to
be sent out as tramps unworthy the
calling to which they aspire. There
are too many OF them now trudging
over the land claiming to be what
they are not-calling themselves
printers, when they have Meth
er education nor tact, taste nor
training for the art. They are to
be found everywhere, and are al
ways out of place. Some Of them
have even assumed the position of
editor and undertaken to form and
lead public sentiment without first
knowing how to form correct sen q.
tence or spell their words properly
We could point out several such so
called printers and editors here In
East Tennessee, but we need not
do so. Some of them have already
become the laughing stock of the
editorial fraternity, and are too
well known rs upstarts, even by
their own reaGers, 10 require point
ing out. Our purpose is simply 10
correct q mistake which misled ana
: yet misleading ignorant boys
just starting out in lIfe. The print
ing office is the last place for those
who have no education and no mon
ey. II requires learning, talent
and taste to accomplish anything
at this business. and il takes
small fortune to stsrt1a printing Of
fice. Besides, printers wages are
very low. The business has been
ruined by boys and men who don't
understand it. Better stay where
less brain work and more elbow
grease are required.-[ Alb. Watkins.

The End Of the World.

Mother Shipton announced the
destruction Of the world for 1881.
but she forgot TO afllX the exact
date. An Italian writer, Leonard
Aretino, who died in the fourteenth
century, was more accurate. In the
fifth volume of his work, "Aquila
Volante," he clearly prophesies that
the world will come TO an end on
the 18th of November, 1881. There
is one consolation, however, and
that is that the annihilation will not
be momentary, but, on the contrary,
will last fifteen days. On the first
day the ocean will overstep her
boundaries; on the second day IL
will penetrate into the interior of
the earth; on the third day ali river
fish will succumb; on the fourth
day the denizens Of the deep; oD
the fifth day the birds will perish;
on the sixth day our houses will
collapse (mine have already col
lapsed J; on the seventh the rocks;
on the eighth earthquakes will
continue the work of destruction:
on the ninth the mountains will
fall low; on the tenth mankind will
lose the power Of speech; on the
eleventh the graves will open; on
the twelfth it will rain stars (but
not the stars Of India) on the thir.
teenth all men will die; on the four
teenth heaven and earth will be
consumed by fire, and on the df-
teenth we may may expect the res
direction and the last judgment.

The Earth as a Comet.

1t is not altogether impossible,
says Professor Draper, that the
earth itself may become a comet.
1t is altogether more probable that
It was a comet before II became
a steady going old world. AT any
rate, science furnishes no more
reason for tho one inference than
the other. 1t is known that the
nebulm visible in the heavens are In
various conditions of world -foun-
dation, some OF them revolving
about a center OF their own, some
with nuclei indicating cooling and
condemnation, while others are but
enormous masses OF matter 10 a gas
eous state. The structure of our
earth leads geologists 20 the con
clusIon that il was once fiery
mass, requiring an inconceiyable
time before SO cooling as 10 form n

satellites, cooling sooner. have
passed through the respective sta
ges OF existence, and are now with

A Fathers Terrible Vengeance.

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 2.--PriV1te adYi-
ces have been received of a bloody trag-
edy, enacted Sunday just across the line
in Louisiana, a short distance from Mag
nolia, Ark. Joseph Doyle lived with
his mother at Dykes mill and kept COM
pany with Sallie Walker, daughter of
Capt. James II. Walker. She was belle
OF the neighborhood. Doyle was consid-
cred the most fortunate man in the coun-
try round. Capt. Walker. was one Of the
prominent citizens Of the parish a1d
considered a wealthy man, and for rea-
SONS best known to himself, Doyle post
poned the wedding, and being pos
sessed of glib tongue, seduced his be-
trothed and left for Texas. The ruined
girl at once confided to her father all
the particulars. He, like a true man,
took her in and cared tor her, and he,
however, swore a solemn oath that
should Doyle cross his path he would
take quick and terrible vengeance. His
threats were made openly. No one
ever expected to see the seducer again
in that locality. To the surprise of
every body he returned last Sunday, and
in less than two hours had Walkers
foot on his throat and the contents ef n
douhle-barrel gun in his body. Walker
made no attempt 70 escape, but gave
bond TO appear for trial.

CORRECTING HISTORY.
The True Story Of the Late W. Tell,
Of Switzerland.

William Tell ran a hay ranch
near RergeIen about $50 years ago.
Tell had lived in the mountains all
his life and shot chamois and chip
monks with a cross gun till he was
a bad man to stir up.
At that time Switzerland was run
principally by lot of carpetbaggers
from Austria, and Tell got down on
them about the year 1907. IL seems
that Tell wanted the government
contract to furnish hay at $40 ton
for the year 1906, ard Gessler, who
was controlling the patronage of
Switzerland, let the contract to an
Austrian who had big lot of con-
demned hay farther up the gulch.
One day Gessler put his plug hat
up on a telegraph pole, and issued
order 236, regular series, to the
effect that every snoozer who passed
down the toll road should bow to it.
Gessler happened to be in behind
the brush when Tell went by, and
he noticed that Bill said "Shoot the
hat" and didn't salute it, SO he told
his men to gather Mr.. Tell in and
put him in the refrigerator.
Gessler told him that if he would
shoot crab apple from the head OF
his son, two hundred yards, with
a cross-g gun, he would give him his
liberty.
Tell consented and knocked the
apple higher than Gilroy's kite.
Old Gessler, however, roticed
another arrow sticking in Williams
girdle, and he asked what kind of a
flowery break that was.
Tell told him that if he had killed
the kid instead of bursting the
apple, he intended to drill a hole
through the stomach of Gessler.
This made Gessler mad again, and
he took Tell on a picnic up the
river in irons.
Tell jumped off when he got
good chance, and cut across q bend
in the river, and when the picnic
party came down he shot Gessler
deader than a mackerel.
This opened the ball for freedom,
and weakened the Austrian govern
ment so much that in the following
Novem ber they elected Tell to fill
the long term and half-breed for
the short term.
After that Tell was recognized
by the ruling power, and he could
get most any contract that he
wanted. He got the service on the
stage line up into the Alps increased
to daily, and had the contract In
the name OF his son Albert.
The appropriation was increased
100000 per year, and he had a
good thing.
Tell lived many years after this,
and was loved by the Swiss people
because he had freed their land.
Whenever he felt lonesome he
would take his cross gun and go
out and kill a tyrant. He had
tyrant on toast most every day till
Switzerland was tree, and the peas
ants blessed him as their deliverer.
When Tell got to be an old man,
he would go out into the mountains
and apostrophize them in these
memorable words:
"Ye crags and peaks. I'm with
you once again. l hold to you the
hands l held to you on previous
occasions, to show you they are
free. The tyrant's crust is busted,
so to speak. HIS race is run, him
self hath scootsd up the fume. Sc
