ACCORDING to the governor

ACCORDING TO the governors
message to the legislature, given in
cur special dispatches yesterday
morning, 10 cents tax would not
only pay the interest on the new
bonds, but leave surplus for a
sinking fund. A writer in the
Nashville American, as will be seen
in another column, makes q 80 or
s. cents tax sufficient. Il seems to
us that our representatives should
not hesitate for d moment when
they can save the honor Of the
State with no greater burden upon
the people than the above figures,
especially SO when many of the
Southern States, with less national
resources than Tenuessoo, Puy "a
much higher tax. We trust that
prompt action will be taken, and
feel assured that if the debt ques'
ton. is thus settled the people will
award to their representatives the
plaudit, g Well done, good anc
faithful servants"

PAST PLEASURES.

Thrilling with that curious pleasure
which comes to those Of us who are ro.
mantle when turning over the relics OF
the past, with what interest we handle
old letters yellow with age but still tied
with the true love-knot Of blue ribbons;
volumes ef poetry with Inscriptions OF
the enthusiastic sort, now out OF date,
written in an elegant hand on the fly
leaf, and with the tenderest verses mar
ked with rose-leaves; silken scarfs to
which time has given mellow tints no
Overs wots of; quaint garments that
make one smile, yet which may have set
off dimpled beauty rarely;a sword on
which the rust CT a century has gathered;
q great watch that still has power to
tick, though its maker and he who wore
it have been ashes for generations. And
suddenly, in the midst of our enjoy.
ment, thought will creep over MS that
makes our hearts stand still.
The time must come-will surely
come, il we leave anything behind us
when gay young folk, whose grand
mothers are yet unborn, will some day
find treasure in some queer old things
they have discovered just fit for the
next masquerade and those queer old
things" will lie our present best clothes
and the bonnet that was thought
"a love" in Paris. They will peep into
our letters and try to make love-stories
out of them, and wonder at our taste in
books, and we-well, at least we shall
not be here. The earth will be ours nc
more--its pleasant places or it's shadows
its griefs or its delights. As the rose We
pluck-the odor we inhale-we shall be
gone, as those are over whose relics We
pore to-day.

WORK OF BRIGANDS,

A shocking MURDER says the st.
James Gazette, was committed fort
night ago at monastery near the forest
Of Vranyo.Seio, in Hungary. This
monastery, which was Inhabited by
eight monks who were believed to be
very wealthy, was attacked by band OF
brigands, but an alarm having been
given, a body of soldiers came to the
rescue. The brigands endeavored to
barricade themselves in the monastery
and exchanged several shots with the
soldiers, who were more than an hour
before they could force an entrance.
When they did get in they found the
monks lying gagged on the floor, but
could find no trace of tho brigands.
After the monks had been set at liberty
they informed their deliverers that the
brigauds had escaped by an under.
ground passage leading from the cellar
into the forest. The soldiers ut once
searched for the passage, while the
monks went of to the chapel to give
thanks for their delivery. The soldiers,
having explored the cellar and having
failed to find the door Of the passage,
came back and asked one of the monks
to act as their guide but they were no
where to be seen. In the course of
further Investigations, however, they
found the dead bodies OF the eight
monks in small room, and the mystery
was then solved. The brigands, seeing
that they could not escape, had murder
ed the monks and hidden their bodies
in the room, having first stripped them
of their clothes and put them on them
selves. They then gagged one another
to deceive the soldiers, and while the
latter were searching in the cellar bad
made off to their Businesses in the for

CHANGE IN TREES,

Recent botanical research has shown
that the trunks of trees undergo daily
changes in diameter. From early morn
ing to eally afternoon, there is regular
diminution till the minimum is reached,
when the process is reversed, and the
maximum diameter is attained at the
time of twilight; then again comes
diminution, to be succeeded by an IN
crease about dawn an increase more
marked than that in the evening. Va
riations in diameter are believed to
coincide with the variations OF tension,
but they are shown to be inverse to the
temperature, the maximum OF the one
corresponding roughly to the manlmum
of the other, and so on. In connection
with these Investigations it may be re-
marked that the hight of a man IS
greater in the morning than in the after
noon, and again, that other influences
being suspended, the barometer is higE'
er in the morning than in the afternoon.

OPIUM HABIT.

Four thousand is moderate estimate
Of the total number of native American
victims to the opium habit, and these, it
is safe to speculate, consume 100 grains
of the drug day. This gives daily
consumption of 400, 900 grains, or about
$4,000 pounds during the year. About
three drains of the smoking opium, equi-
valent to six drains of the crude drug,
make the average quota of days con-
suption and this much costs from fifty
to seventy.five cents. Some who go to
perpetual excess, however, have been
known to consume as much as pound
and quarter during day. m
Taking the average, however, 1t Will
be found that the man who bankers after
the deleterious short-lived enjoyment
of the drug can crafty that foolish taste
only at an expense of 5000 a year, and
the combined indulgence OF all Amerl-
can opium-smokers will be found to be
carried on at cost of over $750,OOO year.

ment of the evil. The importations OF
smoking opium into America have
steadily increased during the last ten
years, and the return for 1880 shows the
enormous quantity of 77,196 pounds,
valued at S773, 79G, imported, as against
37,s24 pounds, valued at S353,334, sent

ROMANTIC SCENE.

A wedding on the top of Pixies peak
was reported few days ago. A Ken,
tucky couple have taken an opposite
course by going underground for the
ceremony. Henry McCalister, accom-
panied by small party, arrived Mt Cave
city. Country wagons were procured,
and the gay company, which included q
Louisville clergyman, drove over the
hills to the Mammoth cave. The great
hole in the ground was bravely entered !;
"Fat Mans Misery" was passed, the
bride crawling on hands and knees
through the tunnel Green river, with
its blind fish was safely ferried over.
and, pfter an underground tramp Of nine
miles. the spot selected for the wedding
was reached. There says a glowing
account, under natures glittering
gems, with darkness filling the depths
beyond, and torches weirlly lighting
the immediate space, the clergyman did
his duty."-Leein9ion, Ky, Gazette.

CUTS ROTH WAYS.

THAT mus; be false rule,' says the
Interior, requiring virtue, cleanliness
and good tenn er and conduct in women,
while men may go on to any length al
most and society one and all wink, it
not blink, at our faults. Whatever ie-
grades woman also degrades a man.
Take some of the vices and habits ol tie
day. A man smokes filthy cigar, or
carries about half an ounce of tobacco
in his cheek, and yet expects his wife to
preserve clean mouth and a sweet
breath. Again. young man starts out
to spend the evening with his adored
Evelina. Should he find her not at
home, but in the neighboring saloon,
howovr genteel it might be, that would
be his last visit. In his estimation she
wsuld have sunk below his level, and
yet that young man himself is daily
visitor to that same saloon, and engages
in all its exercises"

SCARCITY OF LAB0RGRS,

While from Germany and other Euro
pcan countries working people are mi
grating in multitudes to America.
Farce appears to he suffering from II
scarcity of laborers. In the Cote dor,
fabulously high wages are offered, and
yot many farms and vineyards lie uncnl-
tiyated because Of the scarcity OF help.
II must be horne in mind, however, that
great repugnance is felt TO the work in
vineyards on account ofits laborionsness,
so that workmen prefer any other oceu-
patton they may be able to obtain. One
Of the principal effects of the lack OF
available labor is the reluctance OF
French capitalists to invest their spare
capital in land. On the other hand,
house property in towns is favorite in
vestment, the value in rising towns in-
creasing every year.
