Fishing by Electricity.
London Globe

A French yachting paper gives
some description of the new appar-
atus which is being used with the
permission of the government of
that country for fishing by electric
ity at night. 1t consists of globe
of glass within which the electric
light is shown. The conductors in
cased in gutta-percha are arranged
so as to meet one another On the in
side, very much on the same princi~
pie which is now familiar to all
visitors in the Crystal Palace. They
communicate with a fishing boat
anchored at convenient distance,
and can, of course, be set into ac-
tivity by the occupants of the boat.
As to the globe, it is attached to a
weight below and float above, 80 that
it can be raised or lowered to the
desired depth. AS soon as the car
bons are Ignited and the glass in
proper position, all the sea
in it's vicinity is ilumi-
mated brilliantly and the
fish, over whom light is well known
to exercise an irresistible influence
at night, come eagerly, and some
times in large schools, within the
rays. They may be seen from above
disporting themselves in the unac-
customed brightness, and little
dreaming of the sinister purpose
with which the little fete is organ
lied for them. It is then that other
fishing boats, armed with nets, come

Letter From Maryville.
MARYvnLE, June 10, 18s

MARYvILLE, June 10, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR A sad affection has
visited the home of Maj. Ben. Guns
ningham, our County Court Clerk.
Last Thursday, the 9Th instant, he
was sent for on account of the sick>
ness of his little daughter. He arr
rived at home only in time to see a
few short hours breathed in pain,
when death took her home. Little
Lettie Cunningham WAS born April
10, 1876. She was unusually bright
and very beautiful and winning, so
that she was favorite with all who
knew her. Her remains were buried
last Friday in the Eusebia burying
grounds.
Death has also visited the head of
family here to-day. Stephen N
" ellis, well TODD merchant residing
at Houk Post office, on Nine Mile
Greek, about so years of age, depart
ed this life at the residence of his
brother, in Maryville, to-day. It
seems that he has been in poor
health for some time, and tried to
recuperate at Montvale Springs for
time, then coming in to see
his brother, lived only few days,
and died.
Mr.. Wells was one of our very
useful citizens. He owned and OPP
Grated fine saw and Touring mill,
and was driving, Industrious man.
His loss will be sorely felt.
This has been a day ofintense
excitement here between the con-
testants of reaping machines. Our
two hardware stores got up some
competition, then began to boast
of the reapers they represented
Greer & Co, the Mccormack, and
j. NJ. Hood & Bro, the Champion.
Judges were chosen to decide be-
tween them in some harvest field,
but they failed to complete the ar
engagements as to the place. So
Hood & Bro, took their machine to
Rockford, in the field of J. l.. Wrin-
kle, and Greer & Co., selected the
field of DIR. b A, Morton, near Ma
ryville. This morning Greer's had
considerable procession in the
streets, but were not left alone. Mr..
Austin, who represents another MAJ
chine, very noiselessly came waltzing
out into the procession with his MAJ
CHI ne, and away they went to the
field. The contest between the hard
ware stores was at long range, but
very exciting, and at this date it is
hard to determine which machine
won, but we are Of opinion that j.
L. Wrinkle and B. A Morton got the
best of the contest W.

REPUTATION AND REPUDIATION-
lists.

The Blount County Democrat, not
having the fear of the thermometers
before its eyes, discourses in the fol>
lowing wicked manner:
1t seems strange indeed that a
great party, like the Democratic
party is and ought to be, will lend
itself, or any considerable part of
the body of the party to the doc
trine of reputation. But this seems
to be the leading idea with ma
jority of the county conventions SO
far as heard from.
The party seems to be very sadly
demoralized, and is now being run
in the interest of the Savages, Will
sons, and host of other smaller fry
fellows, who want Office and cannot
get it, except at the ruin of Tennes-
sees good name and fair fame.
1t seems the easiest thing in the
world, for seedy, played out polls
tlcian of the Savage stripe to con>
vince the dear people that it is hon.
est to repudiate their debts, debts
that the Republicans made, and the
Democracy for years and years de-
claredto be just and honest and prom
ised to pay.
The Repudiationists are composed
of several different kinds of people,
and people who have different mo-
tives for entertaining such lax
views of honesty and integrity.
The first class who entertain re-
pudiation views, are lot of old
broken down Confederate war horses,
who want Office, and do not care by
what means they get it; they go up
and down the land bowling about
how badly the South, poor, dear
South, was treated by the Yankees,
and how the Yankees set "our mig
gers free They make the non
progressive, lazy and good-for>noth-
ing Tennesseean who fought, bled
and died for the dear South, believe
that he has chance to get even with
the id Yankees now. They say
'we could not whip them, but we
can repudiate what we owe them,
and offer to pay our bonds in big
niggers and the coupons in little nige
gers.
We do not mean to say that all
men who were with the South III the
late struggle, feel this way, for there
are some i've and progressive men
who were with the South, but they
are not the ones who are shrieking
reputation.
The meanest of all the repudia.
tionists are The smaller fry fellows
and bloated s. rusty-crats, whose
grandmothers may have had one
poor sick darkey, who was set free
by the result of the war These
fellows are the die>in-the 'last-dich
fellows. They are seeking gore,
and if gore is scarce, or cannot be
procured without running some risk
to their sacred persons, they will
have the next best thing. They viii
cheat and swindle the creditors Of
the State, pretending that they are
animated by patriotism.
The day VIII come when Tennes.
see and all honest men in it will be
ashamed of the record now being
made by the last ditch patriots OF

supposed that this device is calcu-
lated to operate with much deadly
effect whenever it is used; and there
seem to be much doubt whether it
will ever be allowed as recognized
kind of fshieg within territorial
waters. Indeed, the license granted
by the government is said to be
merely provisional, and for the pur-
pose of testing the new machine.

IT is pretty generally known
throughout this country that during
the whole of the last session of the
Forty sixth Congress, that Congress
man HouK, who was pretending to
represent this district, was absent
from his seat and recorded as "not
voting" more than six-sevenths of
the time. In other words, out of
one hundred and twenty-seven roll
calls, he was present fifteen and abb
sent one hundred and twelve. This
fact he has not denied. His friends
have not denied it for him. He has
not explained his absence nor have
his friends endeavored to explain it
for him. The reason for this is that
it is undeniable and unexplainable.
1t is stern, ugly fact, and no ex-
PLANTATION having been made or ats
tempted, people are drawing their
own differences.

the private race>course of Governor
Leland Stanford, of California, by
Mr.. Muybridge, photographer of
San Francisco. It is said that the
consecutive positions of the legs in

the Prince of Wales and other mem

that MISSIONER has recently modified
painting to conform to Mr.. Muy-
bridges theory as revealed by these

The method by which the photo-
graphs have been taken-the result
of years of experiments substan-
TALLY as follows: At one side of the
track is long building arranged for
Photographic work, containing bat
terry of twentyfour cameras, all alike,
and standing one foot apart. On the
other side of the track is screen of
white muslin and foot board. The
screen is marked with vertical and
horizontal lines, and the foot board
bears numbers indicating separate
intervals of one foot each. The
instantaneous shutters of the cameras
are operated by electricity, and their
movement is governed by such pow-
erful springs that the exposure is
estimated to be about one five
thousandths of a second The
contact by which the shuts
ters are sprung is made by
the breaking of thread drawn across
the track at about the height of the
horse breast, there being one thread
for each camera. In his flight
through the air, therefore, he brings
each Of the twenty four cameras to
bear upon him at the moment when
he passes in front of it, and that
camera represents his position at
that instant. The series of repre-
sensations indicates the consecutive
positions at each of the twenty-four
feet covered by the instrum ents. In
series showing a horse trotting
at speed, the spokes of the sulky are
shown as distinct lines quite to the
felloe of the wheel, indicating an ex
tremely short exposure. In fast
run, the tufts of the horses tail, as
it waves with his stride, are clearly
marked.
