this SKETCH, He is undersized in every
way, except that his head is somewhat
larger than the average mans. His
body does not do him Justice. 1t is
small, apparently frail, high strung,
and nervous. AS he raises his hand to
make gesture and the cuff pulls back,
you notice that the wrist is delicate and
that the tendons are large and promi.
nent. 1t is fine, small organism, the
basilar nature not making large drains
upon the system, the strength and nu-

intellectual luan. He is of species
such as every one knows some speci.

strength of brain, whose nerves and

them to do better work than the mus

the face gives you tells the story of the

is no weakness there, and there is nev-

called large-featured face. The nose
Is prominent and aquiline, the eyes are
deep set and frank. The chin and
mouth are strong; the common express

announced his purpose to vote for Daniel.
Yost, of the Valley Virginian, and one Of
the ablest writers of the State, won't say
what he'll do.
As wrote you in my last communication,
the chances are against Daniel, though it is
confidently believed and maintained by his
friends, that he will "pull through" It
depends very much upon the course of tie
Republican party and especially that of the
negroes. The Republican vote in the last
Presidential election footed up $4,000. If
this vote is cast solid for Cameron, the Re

inland cities no one need be sur
prised. And her people will owe no
little to the sagacity and enterprise
of Col e. w. Cole.
When we turn to Southwest
ern business it will be seen that the
Cole system is in position to hold
it's own against all its competitors,
Had Colonel Cole leased the Cincin~
natl Southern, by way of Chatta>
nooga, he would have found it
377 miles from Cincinnati to
Dalton on his present lines.
Over the Kentucky Central, and. by
way of Knoxville, to Dalton it is 378
miles, or only one mile farther than
over the Cincinnati Southern, by
way of Chattanooga. The difference
in distance amounts to nearly
nothing, and shows the vast ad-
vantages which Colonel Cole will
reap from his latest conquest. When
he gets to Dalton, he will then have
the same advantages that he would
have had, had he succeeded in con-
trolling the Cincinnati Southern.
There is no line on the continent,
running from the North to the Sou b
that is more important, that will
pay better or do more to develop
the resources of the country than
this new line of Colonel Coles. And
there is no enterprise now on foot OF

sections of our common country and

that is as indestructable rs nature

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1881.

THERE are now eighteen hundred
pupils in the public schools of Knox
vile. The result is, the schools are
crowded, in some of the rooms ais
most beyond endurance. We under
stand that arrangements have been
made for the use of the Female In
stitute building, which will be a
much needed relief. In some Of the
rooms there have been, in some in
stances, three children on seat, at
a desk only large enough for two.
This is downright cruelty, especially
with the thermometer ranging
among the nineties. If the children
thus crowded make progress and
maintain good health it will be
marvellous.
Now. we do not complain at our
able and efficient board of directors.
In fact, we do not complain of any
one. We have a larger
number of children than we
are prepared TO accommodate. We
have not heard what arrangements
have been made with the trustees oil
the institute But we do not sup
pose they are of permanent char
acter. We only wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that the children are
not being treated right. We
are their friend. We were 6
child once, and happier
to know that children are subject te
the same laws governing health al
older people. We think it would b.
wise and humane for the city au
thorities to settle this matter. W,
want more school room. We want 1
new school building, and it is non,
too early to prepare for it. We hav.
more children in the schools thi.
year than We had last, and will hav.
more next than this year. Our pop
ulation is increasing, and the numbel
of children is increasing. We should
have a. new school building, and i
ought to be west of Gay street.

THE METHODIST COUNCIL
Entertained By the sLord Mayer OF
London.

LONDON, Sept. 8.-There was
large attendance of the American
delegates at the opening services of
the Wesleyan Ecumenical Council
to-day: The congregation included
many ladies. Bishop Simpson took
his text from John, vi: So. The
sermon was in support of the doc
trine of divine creation of the
heavens and the earth. which, the
preacher argued, could not be dis
proved by any SO called teaching of
science.
The success of Methodism, he said,
could only be accounted for by the
fact that it has the divine spirit of
life. The successive assemblages of
great Protestant bodies during late
years foreshadowed that there would
at no distant day be an ecumenical
council of evangelical Christians Of
every denomination.
AS soon as possible after the pres
ident's address and other opening
ldI uudAAa0S, tu6 GOuuGll WILL pass d
vote of sympathy, encouragement
and coincidence with Mrs. Garfield.
The Lord Mayor of London re-
ceived the delegates at the Mansion
House this evening.
Bishop McTyeire, responding to
the address of welcome, said that
American and English Methodism
must be strengthened by this gather
ing. Dr. Douglass, who also re-
sponded to the address, said that
the Uuited Methodists of Canada
thoroughly concurred in the does
trines of Wesley.
The lord mayor, in addressing the
delegates in the evening, said that
he trusted the proceedings would be
a blessing to every member of the
Christian body. He was especially
glad that the American delegates
were present. Various delegates
then spoke, and the proceedings
| closed at late hour.

FROM THE OLD DOMINION.


Destructive Drouth---Fine Farms and
Cattle---Politics, &c.
Mr.. EDITOR I am still sojourning in Vir-
ginia, where I will remain for few days
longer. In all my life have never seen
such a drouth. You can't realize its extent
and its destruction. The damage is enor-
nous. The oat crop was an entire failure
and the corn crop will be nearly so. AS to
the bluegrass pastures, they are denuded of
every spire of grass. They are utterly bar
rem and, as consequence, cattle are suffer
ing and hundreds are being sold for a song
Hard times are anticipated this winter, for
you must bear in mind that the meadows
shared the same fate of the pastures. There
is but little hay. The only "roughness J"
the farmers will have will be their cut corn
Unlike our farmers, they invariably cut
down their corn and stack it up in their
fields. 1t makes excellent provender. 1t
will be in demand this winter.
am in the blue-gras region of Virginia
Montgomery, Roanoke, Giles, Pulaski and
Wythe Counties constitute the blue
grass belt. If our farmers could
visit this delightful section and see the
thousands of broad acres covered with
this green and luxuriant growth, am in
clined to think they would be stimulated to
pay more attention to the cultivation of the
grasses. They would certainly be inclined
to do so after beholding the magnificent
Short horn cattle of this region. They are,
indeed, very fine. They descend from the
purest stock, and are equal to the best
of the Rents, the Cloyds, the Radfords, the
oa1ahrot aI OF
of this section. / know you have heard of
Major John T. Cowan, who owns a fine
estate near Central Depot, and who is cat
tie breeder of large proportions. His stock
are of the most superior quality and COM
mand high prices. He now has on agent
in Tennessee, with whom I recently met at
Morristown. He is the Palmer of this sec
ton of Virginia, and withal heightened
gentleman He married one of the accom-
plished daughters of Major James Kent,
one of the wealthiest men of Montgomery
County, and whose estate is magnificent
one.
I am gratifed to note the progress
Virginia is making in material development,
For long time, as you know, she was a
laggard. She has improved wonderfully in
the last two or three years, and there are
evidences of still further advancement.
Indeed she is waking up her destiny and
making large calculations as to the future.
New railroad enterprises are being prose-
cuted with r1gor, and vast mineral resources
are being developed. I see no reason why
Virginia may not become one of the most
prosperous States in the South.
Like Tennessee, Virginia is now greatly
troubled about her finances, with which you
are familiar. She is having desperate

COL. COLES LATEST ENTERPRISE

1t is easy enough to see that Col.
Cole has lost nothing in failing to
lease the Cincinnati Southern Road.
Gaining the control of the Ken-
lucky Central gives him about all
the advantages he would have had
with the Southern, and gives him
some,that he would not have. had
For Southeastern business, his line
over the Kentucky Central gives ad-
vantages that with the other line
would have been outo of the question.

Human Heartlessness.

Alas the heartlessness of which human

drunkenness, are endeavoring TO still the
voice OF reproving conscience are striv-
ing, by brutalizing the nature, to obliterate
the memory OF past crimes; or worse still,
are laboring to produce that fiendishness of
spirit which actually delights in dwelling
upon the revolving scenes of former iniqui-
ties. Having enlisted soul and body in the
service of Satan, they attempt to silence the
whisperings of God in the soul, that so they
may sin henceforth unrebuked. The rich
and the gay, in lordly palaces or in gaily
decorated saloons, are eating and drinking,
are reveling and rioting, while the worlds
unfortunate are pining away in cellars and
garrets, unknown, unreleved, unpitied. The
piteous wall of anguish, the deep-drawn
sigh which only hopeless poverty can heave,
the tear of grief which in midnight solitude
scalds the pallid cheek, how often are they
unheeded In homes of heartless wealth
and in halls of gayety aud frivolity the feast
and the dance go on, while near by in lonely
agony heart-strings are breaking, penury's
dark night is deepening, anguish is crushing
its helpless victims. Mans forgetfulness Of
man seems incomprehensible. The pr)x-

poverty, Vi nOpe anu ucSpdlt, uoW lueXpllcd-
