TENNESSEE MARBLE.

Scientific Amer1can.1
Mr. John J. Craig, of Knoxville,
Tenn, says that the United States
government is now working sue
cessfully a quarry of white stone in
the immediate vicinity of that city
which is pronounced by competent
judges to be superior to anything of
the kind found elsewhere in the
United States for building and all
outdoor purposes. 1t is a highly
crystalized limestone marble and
as it comes from the hammer or
chisel is almost perfectly white
when polished it shows a faint pink
ish blush, most delicate and beauti-
full long exposure to the atmosphere
seems to whiten and harden it; a
sort of glass like enamel formed
over its surface and rendering it
almost imperviOus to dampness and
stains OF any kind A column of this
marble, which has been standing in
Knoxville more than thirty years,
and which has never been touched
with brush or soap, is as white and
clean to-day as it was the day it
was first exposed to the storms and
sunshine of our tickle climate, The
texture and working quality of the
marble is unsurpassed 1t is neither
too hard nor too soft, but exactly
soft enough to allow the sculptor to
work it without force and trace on
it the finest lines of finished form,
and yet hard enough to retain these
lines in all their original delicacy,
unimpaired by wind or rain for
generations to come. The quantity
of the marble is unlimited, Knox
vile is surrounded by whole noun
tains of it. Facilities for transporta-
ton are now good and daily grow
ing better Car loads are being
daily shipped Ito all sections of the
country, and the absence of capital
alone prevents the quarrying of it
from soon developing into one of the
most important industries in that
favored but as yet almost
section.

The Beatty Pianos and Organs.

Agents and sub-agents will have
to stop their abuse and false state
ments in regard to these instruments,
as they are now to be found in all
parts of the world, and time has
shown them to be perfect in all their
parts. His instruments are in this
place and near here that have been
in use for nearly six years. They
will show for themselves to be as
good to-day as when first bought.
Every joint and the different parts
being almost as solid and perfect as
if grown together. These agents
and sub-agents do all they can
against Beatty because they can not
handle his instruments, and their
instruments have to be sold so much
higher than Beatty's on account of
the different commissions and per-
centage added on their instruments
in making sales, and their way of
doing business on the instaIlment
plan. Beatty's enormous sales, his
strictly cash system and selling di-
rect from factory to purchaser is
why he can undersell other houses.
You never pay for other mems bad
debts when you buy an instrument
from Beatty.

YOUNGSTOWN SEMINARY
FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE OF
EAST TENNESSEE
To tn. Editor Mor,i.tO~n a...lt..


To the Editor Morli.tOwn GAzstts:
The above named institution is a
new educational enterprise, located,
as the name indicates, in Morris
town. The property heretofore
known as the Regain High School
property has recently been purchas
ed, paid for and decided to q Board
of Trustees, for the purpose of build
ing up school of high grade for
the colored people ofthe community
aud surrounding country at large.
The object will be to do the greatest
amount of good to the greatest mum
Der of people possible. The cOlored
people in several counties around
Morristown greatly need education
al facilities. Our purpose is to pre-
pare to meet this want SO far as the
means at our command will allow
us to do it. I take this opportunity
to return thanks to the citizens Of
Morristown and vicinity for the en-
enlargement and help they have
given to the enterprise. 1t was re-
marked to me months ago by
prominent gentleman of the town
that if there was any one about the
place that was opposed to the en-
terprise he did not know who it was.
Quite a number of the citizens with
out regard to church or politics,
have contributed towards paying
for the property. Some have given
ten dollars, and others from one to
FIVE dollars. 1t may be matter of
interest to refer to hereafter, hence
/ have recorded in a bound book
with pen and ink the name Of every
one that has given to the enterprise,
with the amount that each one con-
tributed. Ifanyone has any fears
that their money has not gone in
the right direction If they will call
on me we will examine the book.
Iftheir name is not found, or the
amount not duly credited, we will
investigate the matter and / pre-
sumo we will he able to make
satisfactory showing to all concern
ed. Although the properl y is paid
for we are in need of means to put
the property in proper condition for
the school. The house is poorly
furnished with seats and desks, and
two additional stoves will be needed
and other Items are necessary. All
know that the colored people are
not able to give much, but ] have
been telling them all around that
they must give what they can
that they must help themselves and
then others will be more free to
help themr ! am negotiating for
competent teaehaps "a male Prin
oipal and female assistant. Mrs.
Stearns, long and favorably known
as q teacher in the community will
be teacher in the primary depart
ment. expect to be able seen to
announce the name Of the gentle
man who will become principal of
the school. w. G.. GRAVES.

PROSPERITY IN STORE FOR TIE
SOUTH


In a recent interview Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, who has given much
study to the material resources OF
the South, called public attention to
two things that are likely to prove
extraordinary agencies in advancing
the agricultural prosperity OF the
Southern States. "A serious difficulty
that planters and farmers have
had to contend against there Is the
fact that it has cost three times as
much to teed mule or other animal
as to support field hand. One OF
the things mentioned by Mr.. At
kinscn is a new machine for separat-
ing the hulls form cotton seed anu
cutting up the leaf and stalk OF the
plant in such way as to convert
into nutritious animal food what
few years ago was almost wholly
wasted. One result will be a supply
of food for from twenty millions to
forty millions sheep. This number
Of sheep means from seventy-tive
million to one hundred and fifty
million pounds Of wool a year, which
in. turn means an annual addition
of from twenty five million dollars
directly to Southern wealth besides
the vast indirect gains that must
follow. There is little doubt that
wool can be made @ staple second
only to cotton in the south, and
there is reason to believe that it is
destined to become so. Since the
war the Southern wool product has
increased at a remarkable rate. In
Texas, the greatest of the wool-pro-
ducing States south, the clip has
run up from six million pounds in
1866 to twenty-five million pounds
IN 1880. In the other Gulf States
there has been an increase Of more
than fvefold in the product. By
following up this progress and
pushing on into the field of wooden
manufactures the South may achieve
results that must add wonderfully
to its material prosperity and wealth.
The other thing Of which Mr..
Atkinson speaks is q neWly-disc0ver-
ed force called ensilage for restoring
exhausted soils and developing
productive power In his opinion
it will prove the means of rejuvenat-
ing the South and of supplying
what it has greatly needed-namely
succulent feed during the long hot
dry season that is essential to the
cotton crop. The practical value Of
the discovery is to be tested at the
coming cotton exhibition in Atlanta,
and should its virtues prove to be
what they are claimed to be, it must
open up new era in agriculture
and work untold advantages, not on
ly for the South. bnt also other
parts Of the country,

Postmaster General James has
cut off 100000 Of useless star routes
this month, and it is estimated that
he will save at least 81 100000 dur
ing the first fiscal year of his admin
istration, by abolishing unnecessary
star routes and cutting down the
cost OF others. He has saved over
100000 as compared with last
years expenditures, in contracts
made for next year, for envelopes,
postal cards, etc.

Gen. Schofeld, in long letter,
now claims all the credit of the
Nashville campaign. which has
heretofore been given to the dead
Thomas. When is this sort of thing
to end ? 1t seems to us that to rob
Gen George H. Thomas of his
laurels, though not quite so disrepu-
table IS an attempt to blackon his
memory would be, yet comes so
close to it rs to be at least sugges-
tive that "A lurking desire of that
kind does really exist. Gen. Thomas
was really a great man, as well as
great hero. This Nashville cam
paign, if thcre were nothing else
fully proves it.

with their crops and prospects
seem to be little gloomy, bust
ness is much better than it was this
time last year. AS an evidence of
this, the business of the Lookout
Bank in MOrristOwn is far in ex-
cess of what it was in May or June,
1880. There is more money deposit
sd in 1t, and it is lending out more,
