One of Col. J. r. Fl. Claiborne's
Stories.

The following story was related to the ed
itor of the Natchez Democrat and another
journalist while on visit to the sage oil
Dunbarton
"Many years ago" said Col. Claiborne,
when had planting interests in Madison
and Holmes counties, [ used to ride through
the country on horseback, and as / was in
feeble health / usually had i. my saddle
bags bottle of good old brandy. This |
had to economist, as it was not to be OBTAIN
ed on the route. Stopping one day at the
log cabin of good old man, / will call him
Shaw, before taking the dinner he had pre-
pared, / drew out my bottle, and of course
invited my host to join me in testing the
virtues of my Otard. My host, looking ut
the bottle, very considerably as | thought
declined my invitation, on the score that
there vas not probably more of the brandy
than would last me to the end of my jour
ney. Really approaching the consideration
of my friend | insisted on his joining me in
a drink, and as further inducement told
him that the cup from which we would drink
had once been the property of General /
Washington, and that he would have the f
pleasure of drinking from a cup WHICH had
touched the lips Of the Father ofhis Country. /
"This cup, you say, belonged to the immor- /
tai Washington, the Father of his Country ? /
Then | will take drink from it'd So say I
ing, he poured out stiff horn, and having /
smacked his lips over it, a thought seemed /
to strike him, and he called out, Oh Mrs. 7
Shaw, come here, if you please. Mrs. Shaw.
said he, this cup was the property of the F
immortal Washington. and has touched the /
lips of the Father of his Country. You /
must take a sip of good brandy from this
venerable relic So she poured out another I
drink from my bottle, which was quafIed /
with a relish by Mrs. Shaw"
My friend again called out: COIL Polly /
Shaw, come here, my daughter. Here is a
cup that once belonged to the immortal /
and has touched the lips Of the
Father of his Country. You, my daughter, |
must take sip of good brandy from this /
relic. Miss Polly did not object, I
and another draft was made upon my sup
ply of Otard. There was now but q single
dose of my precious medicine left, and /
was watching it with some anxiety, when
new impulse seemed to inspire my friend
Shaw, and he cried out: Bring Claiborne
Shaw here" Flattered by the knowledge
that scion of the Shaw family was dubbed
with my own patronymie, l awaited the ar
rival of Claiborne Shaw, who proved to be
chubby little fellow Of two or three years of
age.

The planters of the Mississippi fats,
especially those in the food country, are
probably correct in expecting unusual
damage from the worm, to follow as a
consequence upon the crop being bella
ted. 1t is only fair supposiion, from
the present outlook, that the plant viii
be seriously attacked before it begins to
make crop. On these accounts the
relation of most of the planters of that
extensive region as mortgagers to the
great mercantile houses that advance
their supplies ON the ruinous credit sus-
tenn there prevalent, is, at this date,
very unpromisiBg and unsatisfactory TO
both parties. And these premises nat
uralIy account for the unusual number
Of letters now coming from planters and
merchants Of that section Of our country

pest and the best methods Of preventing
or resisting its progress.
It would indeed seem wise for those

SMALL.

Millinery Trade Review.
With all and with the many shapes and
styles in which the millinery of this spring
has come out, popular taste and fancy seem
TO be narrowing down to two distinct ideas,
and these are embraced in the shapes OF
bonnets and hats that are very large, and in
bonnets that are very small The large
hats, as per recent importations from Paris,
are growing larger late large bonnets,
when regarded comparatively, are of pro-
portions considerably magnified, while the
capote expresses the prevailing Juror in the
small bonnet Bonnets of medium size,
however, have not entirely disappeared
from notice. We fnd them in small NUM-
bers in all consignments from Paris, aud
they are shown in the millinery parlor Of all
our reliable modistes. But for the most
part they are held in reserve for ladies Of
middle age and older, who regard the capote
as inconsequ and undigai6ed and the
larger bonnets IS haunting aud audaciously
eoquettish.

THE WORMS ARE AT WORK now

on certain plants in certain fields, from
March until winter; that the killing Of
one early insect may prevent thousands
of future progeny and save hundreds Of
dollars. In the wet country the early
worm will probably be found first on
the earlier cotton. On the dryer sandy
ridges or higher clay slopes, while the
later worms, which have generally been
the first ones noticed, and only observed
when they appear in very destructive
numbers, may, to the less careful
observer, first come to view in either
the same kinds Of "cuts" or in the wet
buckshot lands, upon which they thrive
especially we'll in the latter part Of the
season.

a much smaller quantity Of the poison
and its dilutents viii be sufficient. and
when the poison is blown into the I'M
der surfaces the adhesive element IS no
longer needed.
Both Paris green and London purple,
when not adulterated and where prop
erly applied, have always given salts
isfactory results. The latter seems to
act a little slower than the Paris green !;
perhaps because the worms do not eat
at it so quickly, for they refuse to eat
poisons until they become very hungry,
but it is much the cheapest, and being
a finer powder is susceptible of much
thinner distribution than it usually gets.
If very thinly and evenly applied it will
be eaten sooner, and when used IN due
time viii prove equally as effective as
the Paris green. And it Is likewise
commendable to administer any poison
whatever, that is to be used, SO early
as to destroy the worms before they
reach destructive size, and before they
appear on the upper surfaces of the
/ leaves. Planters must be urged to
watch carefully the under surfaces Of
the foliage throughout the eultiyating
season. The very young worms are less
easily seen than the small pots of light
color made by their gnawing off little
patches from the lower surfaces Of the
leaves. As soon as, and wherever the
young ones have started, apply the
poison Immediately beneath the foliage.
The plowman or ''weed-choper," should
be taught how to see the young worms,
and be carefully trained to find them.
| At the same time he should have, hang
ing from his shoulder or pillow, a light
bellows-atomizer charged with poison
ready for use.

New Court House.

Mr.. EDITOR: Most heartily do endorse
your editorial of yesterday morning with
regard to a new court house. Stir the
question more and more till the old ''rat
harbor," now styled a courthouse, is torn
down and a new one erected. 1t is GER
tainly, as you tersely intimate, a disgrace to
our civilization and downright nuisance.
1t exhibits Knoxville in shabby, indecent
attitude. Our citizens, one and all, should
be ashamed of it as, no doubt, they are.
You, however, say nothing as to where
the new courthouse should be built. Let
me help you out in this. Doubtless you
never thought of any other location than
the present one. | am satisfied you will be
convinced that it ought not to go there
when l call your attention to one of the
handsomest and most eligible locations in
the city. refer, if you please, to the en-
tire square on which the Franklin House
stands. Had you thought of that site !?
Is it not the very thing? Would
it not be a commanding place? So broad
and roomy, so fascinating IN its surround
ings, such charming view of river, vallies
and mountains? Don't it take your eye?
Don't it charm you? How proud would
Knoxville and Knox County be of splendid
courthouse erected on it That is the
place of all the places in the city for it.
Nine tenths of our citizens will say SO when
they come to think of it. presume the
square could be bought, and I imagine, at a
reasonable price. It would help, too, that
part of the city.
Think over my suggestion and see what
you think of it. PRoGREss
We think it best to resolve first to have
new Court House; and second to secure a
good location. We don't like the present
location; but prefer to raise and settle one
question at time. A dispute over loca-
tions may kill the new Court House. THE

procured supply for the child. On reaching
home and acquainting his wife with what he had

child, as she was strongly in favor Of Homoeo-

and the parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the baby
still worse; and while contemplat ng another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from the
room to attend to some domestic duties, and left
the father with the child. During her absence
he administered portion Of the Soothing Syrup

hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in
