Raymond Gazette.
'4 A case was up before the late cir.
cult court, whereina gentleman was
charged With alluring u laborer
from the employ of another. The
attorneys on one side consumed
unusual time in cross.examinins
witnesses, " hlch suggested to the
Judge the following amusing In
struction, handed privatel. down
by him: m
"It the jury believes from the
evidence that q. sold II. he would
saliyate him il he didn't Quit C's
place and move on his; and, II they
further believe from the evidence
that Il. did not quit Cs place and
move to G's, the jury are instructed
by the court that such coneate-
nation puts before them this sharply
defined issue, to wit. Was L. sail
waited by g.. or was he noti After
setting this question either way,
the jury may rip along through
this appeal case to suil their own
peculiar views of the eternal Gtness
OF things"
Ii is needless to say counsel took
tle hint aud proceeded more rap.
idly with the case. tst
This suggests an occurrence

counties.n Judge - was noted
for the way he got mixed in his
charges to the jury. On one occa'
sion case was tried before him,
the points of which may be briefly
stated thus: Smith brought suit
against Jones upon a promissory
note given for a horse. Jones' de-
fense was failure Of consideration,
he averriug that at the time Of the
purchase the horse had the CLAN.
ders, of which he died, and that
Smith knew It. Smith replied that
the horse did. not have the. CLAN
ders, but the ,listeinner, and that
Jones knew Ii swissa he bsught Ii.
The Judge then charged athc jury,
|" Gentlemen of the jury, pay atten'
tion to the charge OF. the court
| You have already made one mis-
| trial OF this case because you did
/ not pay attention to the charge oi
the court, and / don't want you ia

state it again. II you find at the
time of the sale Jones had the dis.
temper, and Smith knew it, then
Smith cannot recover. But, gen
tlemon, will state it a third time,
80 that you cannot possibly make a
mistake. II at the time of the sale
Smith had the glanders, and Jones
had the tlistemper, and the horse
knew 1t then neither Smith, Jones
nor the horse can recover. Let the
record be given to the jury.

from the heavy stupor in which be

Mr.. Stackpole had vague idea that
something out OF his usual run OIL

The Difference Between a Cy
clone and a Tornado.

The difference between a cyclone
and tornado is defined by Mr. VIM.
Ferris, Of the United States coast sur
vey, to be this: "A cyclone is usually
a broad, fiat, gyratiDg disk of atmos
phere, very much greater in width
than altitude, a tornado is column Of
grating air, the altitude Of which is
several times greater than its diane
ter. Cyclones are born OF
conditions extending over large
areas, torEadoes depend rather upon
the vertical relations OF the atmos.
phere, and occur whom, owing to local
changes Of temperature, the under
strata OF air bursts up through the
everything strata. The enormous We.
locities Of the ascending currents OF
tornadOes are supposed to be caused
by the difference between the eyratine
velocities above and those on the sur
face. II is these ascending cur.
rents which carry up the vast
bodies Of water afterward prec-
ipitated in the form Of a deluge
Of rain. The water is sometimes kept
from falling by the ascending currents
and is often projecting outside the
area Of the tornado, when it falls in a
gentle shower over larger area.
When the weight Of the water over.
bears the force Of the ascending cur.
rents, there occurs the tremendous
/ fall Of rain known as a cloud burst
When the area Of tornado il

their height from 30to 1900 feet. A

The accompanying cloud is invisible

A NEW BANK IN KNOXVILLE,
Capital, 100000 Major Tom
O'COnner, President.


The Mechanics National Bank was
regularly organized in Knoxville yes
terday, with a paid up capital Of
100000.
Major Thomas 0 Conner was elected
President; Sam House, Cashier, and
+. w. Armstrong, Assistant Cashier.
The following compose the Board OF
Directors:
Thomas O'Conner, S. P. Evans, R.
N. Hood, B. r. Strong, M. l.. Ross,
Frank McNulty, j. w. Lillard, A. j.
Albers, S. b. Luttrell, Joe I. MeTeer,
James nj. Meek.
The new bank is a designated State
depository, and will transact regular
banking business, dealing in foreign
and domestic exchange. Drafts can
be obtained here on all the principal
cities of Europe.
For the present the new bank will
occupy the old East Tennessee Nation
al Bank building, and will be ready
for regular business next Monday
morning.
1t is the intention of Major 0'Con-
ner to erect a new building for the use
of the bank. 1t will be built of mar
bic or iron, and will be one of the
handsomest structures in the State.
he has already offered large sum,
$l4, 900 we believe, for the property on
the corner of Gay and Union streets
known as the Round House. This
figure has been refused by the
owners, and it is understood that
the new bank building will
be erected near r. s. Payne's new
wholesale house or adjoining Colonel
Meek's new building. Of course the
Round House corner would be more
desirable location and it is greatly to
be regretted that the site cannot be
obtained. We would like to see the
present unsightly round house torn
away and splendid three or four
story marble building erected in its
place.
Major 0'Conner has gone to Nash.
vile for a few days, but will return 10
Knoxville about the 10th of May, and
hereafter make Knoxville his home
