THE QUEEN OF THE LOBBY.

the lobby this winter is a fascinating
little brunette from the sunny South
the widow of Confederate Col
onel who fell before Richmond. She
has been abroad, and knows the
most celebrated men of France,
England, and this country, although
her circle of female acquaintance is
evidently circumscribed The charm
Of her conversation is irresistible, .es-
pecially to gentlemen whose hair is
thin on the top of their heads.
There is a sweet, subdued gayety in
her speech, accent, and gestures
which makes a venerable listener
happy, and there is a vivacity about
her conversation which is especially
attractive. She always. dresses in
black, in which magnifcence of APP
parel can be allied with purity of
taste. In the day time a long-skirt-
ed ulster has most decorous look,
and at night, in her pleasant rooms,
she always wears a rich black satin
dress, with a scarf OF rare. lace, in
which CLEANS a diamond cross. which
might have been the ransom of the
Sultan. Such thstudied grace and
elegance suggests sweet Annie Page, 1

A cotemporary very truthfully
says that nothing presents a sadler
commentary on the present condi-
ton of society than the large num-
Der of families, both in town and
country, but more especially the lat
ter, that subscribe to no paper of
any kind. Hundreds and thous-
ands of families are thus growing up
utterly ignorant of what is transpir-
ing in the world around them-ig-
norant of the mighty events of the
day. But who can tell the vast
amount of injury that is being in
ficted on the rising generation
those who are to take our place in
the busy world at no far future day
growing up without any knowledge
Of the present or the past this TO-
norance, too, being imbued into them
by the sanction of those who should,
and doubtless do, know better, did
they only think Of the injurious eff.
fects of their insane course. Let
the head of every. family think Of
this, and place in the hands of those
for whom he irresponsible the means
of acquiring some knowledge of the
panorama IN which we act

The Knoxville Dispatch relates
that during the war Gov. Hawkins
went to Greencastle, Indiana, to get
out of the Confederate lines. When
the Federal forces took possession of
the State he was appointed to an of
fee at Memphis, but being out of
funds was not able to reach that
point. He met Mr.. Parham, from
Knoxville, who voluntarily proposed
to lend him $500. The favor was
appreciated, and shortly thereafter
Hawkins was able to cancel the OBJ
LEGATION, but Mr.. Parham would re-
ceive no interest. The favor was
never forgotten, and fifteen years af-
teTwa1i, when Hawkins was elected
Governor, he signifed to Mr.. Par
ham that ne would give him official
position, if he SO desired, and would
express his wishes. He did express
his wishes, and will be appointed,
though to what Office is not yet made
public. CiarkSUiHe Tobacco Leaf.
. The story detailed in the Dispatch
and condensed by the Tobacco Leaf
was current on the streets of Knox
vile at the time of its publication,
and came from Mr.. Parham himself
AT that time it was understood he
had expressed to Gov. Hawkins an
intimation that the position of War
den of the penitentiary would be ac-
ceptable, and it was generally be-
ieved he would receive the nomina-
ton for that office. Later informa-
ton, however, is to the effect that
Mr.. Parham- has1accepted the less

coal oil for the city of Knoxville.

WORD FOR SWEET SONG

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
One word in favor of sweet song,
for most assuredly there is no science
or art that is more worthy of Guilt
walton. 1t is heavenly in nature and
its soul-stirring strains exerts. a
wonderful influence over the human
mind, and thus elevates the spirits
of men above the turmoils Of earth.
But if we would enjoy the benefits
and beauties of this magnificent art
we must cultivate it in allits artistic
forms. 1t would certainly be more
encouraging to earnest teachers Of
music if ministers and members Of
churches generally would manifest
deeper and more uniform interest
in the development Of musical art.
For, in the church, music. created
and sustained Ia, own artistic forms
in conformity va the secret Office
it had to fill. Il was Luther's first
aim after the establishment of the
first Protestant church, to adorn it
with an appropriate song and ser
vice. He called it one of the great
est gifts Of the Creator, and assign
ed it to the first place next to divin-
ity. He says, "There is no doubt
that the seed of many virtues exist
in the minds Of those who love mu-
sic; but those who cannot be moved
by it.. in my estimation, resemble
stocks and stones" Any one who
is not fond of music and fond of
teaching it has no business to at
tempt to teach. They are only bar
riers in the way Of advancement,
doing more harm than good If
teachers would exert themselves and
not sit motionless with folded hands
like marble statutes, how soon it
would become the popular art and
entertainment Of the day, and the
trash that is now so popular would
not be claimed worthy of notice.
