KNOxvILLE'S FREsCO PAINTER.
A short sketch of His Life as a Painte

A Short Sketch of His Life as Painter
We speak of Mr.. Alfred Leintl,all, whose
work in Knoxville has been quietly done
and will stand upon its merits. MIR. Lein-
thall is an Englishman by birth has had
three years experience in the School of De-
sign in Birmingham, England, after having
completed his apprenticeship. On his de-
parture from the School of Design, he
travelled and studied in many of the large
cities of England and this country, thus
gaining large and varied experience In all
kinds of painting, frescoing, grainihg and
paper hanging. Mr.. Leinthal has now
been in Knoxville for four years, and on in
quiry we learn that he has done some work
of a superior order in frescoing and other
styles. We must not fail to mention the
frescoing done fur Mr. Sam Mckinney about
two years ago, which gave perfect satisfac-
ton to the excellent taste of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinney and astonished their friends, who
did not know that man could be found to
originate such designs nearer than Cincin-
natl or New York. In fact, Mr.. Leinthall
has in his possession original designs of a
very high order, which demonstrate that he
is a real artist and can rival the work done
in the large cities, The fact, given us by
Mr.. Chamberlain, of the drug house of
Sanford, Chamberlain i Albers, that Mr..
Leinthall always buys the best material and
no other, thus giving his customers honest
material and honest work, is worth the at
tention of all who are desirous of having
any painting or decorating done. His Office
is No. SO Gay street, Knoxville, Tenn.

Age Of Animals.

There is not great deal known yet
Of the age of animals, especially those
that have not been domesticated. The
following are few of the many inter-
esting points on the subject cleaned from
the american Cyclopedia There is Q
belief among the East Indians that the
elephant lives about 800 years, and in
stances are ON record of the animal hay
ing been kept in captivity as long as 130
years, their age being unknown when
they were first taken wild from the for
est. Camels live from forty to fifty
years; horses average from twenty to
thirty, oxen about twenty, sheep eight
or nine, and dogs from twelve to four
teen years. It has been observed that.
as general rule, the larger types of ami
mails live longer than the smaller, in the
vertebrated classes, quadrupeds, birds,
reptiles and fishes. Some kinds of birds
attain a great age; the swan has been
known to live 100 years, and it is re-
corded that the raven has exceeded that
age; birds of prey attain to great
longevity, and the eagle has survived
century. Parrots have been known to
live sixty and as long as eighty years.
Pheasants and domestic poultry rarely
exceed twelve and fifteen years. A tor
toise was placed in the garden Of the
Archiepiscopal Palace of Lambeth in
1888. during the life of Archbishop Laud,
and lived till 1853, when it perished by
accident. Small batrachians, as the
toad, are known to live about fifteen
years. Fishes and animals that live in
the water attain, in many instances, to q
great age. The carp has been known to
live 200 years. Common river trout
have been confined in well thirty and
even fifty years. A pike that has been
known to live in pond ninety years;
and Gesner relates that in 1897 an enor-
nous pike was caught in lake near
Heilbronn, in Swabia, with brass ring
attached to it, recording that it was put
in the lake In the year 1880; the ring is
still preserved at Mannheim. The age
Of the whale is known by the size of and
number of the lamin@ Of certain organs
in the mouth, formed by a horney sub
stance commonly called whalebone: these
lamin@ increase yearly, and if the mode
Of computation be correct, they indicate
in certain cases that the whole attains to
an age of 400 years. Little is known OF
the age attained by animals of the lower
types, such as articulata. mollusca, and
-radiata. That of insects has received
some attention, and it has been remarked
that though the first period of life,
passed in the grub or caterpillar state,
extends to several months, or even years,
the great majority live but few days OF
weeks after the metamorphis by which
they attain to a more perfect form. The
ephemera, when it leaves its grub-life in
the water, and assumes higher form
and an erial existence, lives but a few
hours, and dies the very day it was born
| into its new life.

History of a Marble Yard.

This marble yard has had somewhat
chequered career Some time after the war,
the firm of Thomas, Broynlow j. Griffitts
began making and selling marble work here
in Knoxville, and pursued their occupation
until about the year 1876. At this time
change came over the spirit of their dreams
and 7. P. Thomas took charge, and con-
trolled the shop for the next three years,
giving satisfaction and driving his business
with much energy.
He then concluded to take in partner,
and selected one of his workman, w. B.
Fenton, for the place Work was carried
on in flourishing manner for two years
under the firm name of Thomas IL
Fenton; when, last September, Mr.
Thomas concluded to withdraw, and
MIR. Fenton remained proprietor of
the shop. Patronage continued faith
full, and now all who want nice work
in foreign or native marbles will find
it to their interest to see w. B. Fenton on
the west side of Market Square in
Knoxville, for he keeps in stock large lot of
good work ready made, so that he can fill
orders promptly.
He will furnish Italian, Vermont or Ten
nessee marbles and Scotch and American
GRANTEES.
In his shop are some ot the most skillful
and experienced workmen to be found in
the state, and while he will not cut in prices.
he guarantees to do more work on a given
stone than can be obtained at any other
yard in the South. Fine lettering and
carving is specially in this yard neither
does he slight the polishing; but, unlike
Eastern shops, will polish every side of the
stone, while other yards polish only fronts
and edges, thus defrauding the public, who
think they are to get finished work.
| Call and see his stock of ready made
work, and photographs of styles. He can fur
nish anything from small and simple mar
BILE slab to an elaborate monument.

A Tramp's Philosophy.

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant
was a memorandum book full Of his own
writing with pencil, and some of his
philosophy is good enough to be pre-.
served. His first paragraph reads:
Drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting in the way OF
bullets purchased by an enemy"
A second reads
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second best.
1t is hard to be honest on ali empty
stomach"
"a dry plank under a rain-roof shed
is better than feather bed in Jail, and
one isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing
in a square breakfast"
A fourth says:
Pay as you 60. II you haven't any
thing to pay with, don't go. II you are
forced to go, record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains
"We should have charity for all.
When winter winds blow cold and drear
we vags should pity the poor fellows in
India who are having red-hot weather. "
A sixth is recorded
"Polteness costs nothing, but it is not
expected that you will wake man up at
midnight to ask permission to go through
his. hen-house. It is more courteous to
let him enjoy his needed repose"
The seventh and last we noted down
as follows:
"When you pick up an apple core do
not find fault because it is not the apple
itself, but be satisfied with the grade of
descent. Do not be ashamed of your
occupation. We can not all be lords,
nor can we all be vagrants. As can not
be lord. 1 should not lament at being a
vagrant. Be truthful and outspoken-
that is, tell them you are Chicago fire
sufferer. Keep seasonable hours, or
some other vag will get your plank first.
Be hopeful, cheerful, and good-natured
Growing won't cure sore heel. ."-Phii-
Gdelphia Times.

THE LATEST SENSATION
Is at the Art Gallery of McCrary s. Bran

Is at the Art Gallery of McCrary & Bran
son.
We have noticed for some time past that
on every fair day the art gallery of McCrary
Il Branson is almost constantly thronged
with visitors and customers aud justly SO,
for there is not more attractive place
in the city. Their work in photography
cannot be surpassed by any gallery in the
South, and the elegant panel photos, 80
handsomely finished by them, are quite the
rage. We noticed quite a number taken
lately, and we have never seen them sur
passed in any other gallery.
In the way of crayon, oil and pastel por-
traits, Mr.. Branson, the artist, has but few
if any superiors in the entire country, as
their reputation and their constantly and
rapidly increasing patronage all over the
South is proving beyond doubt If you
want first-class picture you need not &c
away from Knoxville, for they can certainly
suit you.
They also have full stock of latest styles
of picture frames of all kinds-walnut, eb-
ony, gold and velvet. Also a full line OF
photo easels, stereoscopes, stereoseopic
views and artists materials. Pictures are
framed to order with dispatch and neatness.
Call and see them.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

In one grove in California are 1880
trees, none measuring less than six feet
in diameter.
The dog, which is apparently tor
mented by the notes of a soprano voice,
remains undisturbed by those of bass
voice.
A THERMOMETER, plunged in the snow
to the depth of four inches, will mark
nine degrees more heat than at the sur
face.
THE frozen soil of the Siberian coast
never thaws to depth of more than
two feet even during the greatest heat
of summer.
SMALL sponges often fix themselves
to living shells, and DR.. Johnston tells
us that he once met with a sponge ON
the back of crab, which walked about
quite unconcerned with its light burden,
though it was many times larger than
itself.
THE sea-urchin has several movable
spines. Each spine looks very know
ing. and apparently makes its own little
excursions without regard to what the
other spines are doing. In large speci-
mems, where the claws can be seen
round the spines, the effect is very CON-
icll.
In Lower Bengal one tigress was re-
ported to have killed 127 people in one
year, anil stopped public road for sew
eral weeks. In another case, single
tigress caused the desertion of thirteen
villages, and $50 square miles of country
were thrown out of cultivation. Gov
eminent reports show that in Lower Ben
gal about 1000 persons are killed every
year by wild animals, nearly half Of
| whom are victims of the ferocious tiger.
ENERvATINa drugs are freely used in
cigarettes to disguise the poor quality Of
the tobacco. Opium and valerian are
especially mentioned. What is called
Havana favoring" has grown to be
an important article of commerce. Thous-
ands of barrels of it are sold everywhere.
1t is extensively used in manufacturing
certain kinds of cigarettes. It is made
from the tonca- bean, which contains q
| drug called mellolotis, deadly poison,
seven grains of which will kill dog.
THE Immense herds, now aggregating
| 20, 900, 900 which roam over the pampas
Of the Argentine Republic and comprise,
with the sheep, most of the wealth Of
that country, are all descended from
eight COWS and bull which two Portu-
guese brothers, named Goes, took to the
Spanish colony there in 1863. It is only
within few years that any effort has
been made to improve the much-de-
preciated stock of the country. As yet
only few cattle near Buenos Ayres have
been crossed with short-horn breeds.

IT ought to be borne in mind
that the gubernatorlal election this
year will take place In November
instead Of September as under pre-
vious years. There is very long

November. Common sense would

of the Democracy this year should
not be held earlier than the begin.

campaign, September will be quite
early enough. There is one adj
vantage In these late conventions
as respects the State at large, viz,
all the candidates who have an
eager claque behind them will be
ridden to death long before the
Convention meets. As result,
the candidates will really repre-.

their respective parties, as far as
our system of politics admits of
this most desirable result. A hum
