"Old Kentucky Home,n

Next to the words of ones mother,
the songs or music one has loved in life
are the surest visitors to his last mo-
ments. The Troy IN. W Times gives
this pathetic incident. A company OF
negro minstrels were playing in London,
and were softly singing one night to q
crowded house the chorus in "Od Ken
lucky Home"
When the last notes melted away q
strengthening figure advanced few
steps from his seat in dark corner, and
the auditors were startled ut hearing a
voice say earnestly and distinctly
"Sing the dear old song again-sing
for me. I'm listening hard, boys, and
every word is friend TO me; home to
me everything. Say, will you sing it
just once more?"
1t was the figure and voice of an old
minstrel, who left this country several
years ago, and after playing in Australia
made his way, n brokcn-down old man,
to London. Here he supported himself
by playing the banjo, but generally eked
out miserable existence.
The Ministries sang the chorus again,
and the figure sank back into its seat.
When the audience dispersed it re-
manned motionlcss. and when an attend
ant came to rouse Tie old man he found
he was dead.

Poetry and Prose.

Many reader of Byron's beautiful
poem, "Thc Prisoner of Chillon." has
been filled with tender pity for tho poor
captive. The long confinement; the dark
ness, broken only by pglimmer of light
the damp floor under the waters of Lake
Lcman; the helpless prisoners, chained
to a massive pillar; the two brothers,
dying in confinement, make u touching
story,
But Byron used n poetic privilege Of
creating his facts. Downward, the pris-
oner, was no martyr for religion. He
was one Of the most frivolous thinkers
and writers Of his eye. The sull'erings
Of father and brothers were simply In
yentions Of the poet. There were no
cheins TO bind him, nor was tho prison.
loor beneath tho surface of the lake.
nor was he confined for many years in
the cell. lie was shut up IN the cell
four years. with no special privations
and suilcrings, and spent his time in
writing Latin and French verses, so lax
in morals Us 70 DO unfit for publication.
But Byron will keep the field for years
to come, and q majority of readers will
take their facts from the poet rather
than the historian.

Important NOtice-WOrd of Warning.

We desire to give this friendly word OF
warning to whom il may concern, that all
persons who have been, or are now dealing
in preparation called "Clayton G. Russell's
Celebrated Stomach Bitters,' put up and
marked by Adams & Co., of New York,
render themselves liable to prosecution and
damages, as said article has been pronounc-
ed by the u s. Circuit Court, Southern
District, New York, in decision rendered
by his Honor, Judge Blatchford, February,
1882, as being all intimation of Hostetter's
Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and who grant
ed decree of perpetual injunction with
damages, against the said Adams 81 Co. for
violation of our Trade Mark in the premis-
es. The principle Of this important de-
csion applies with equal force to any arti-
Gle of Bitters, the labels Of which bear
general resemblance to our Trade Mark,
as well as to the re filling of our old bottles
with spurious stuff, or selling in bulk any
article purporting to be our preparation
and hence this friendly word Of caution,
We never fail to convict, as the Court Re-
cords Of New Orleans, st. Louis, New
York and other points fully affirm.

some Sj0,000,0O0 in New York Central
and Hudson River stock, $4,000, 600
more in other railroads in this and other
states, and a vast amount Of valuable
real estate in this city. His property can
not amount to less than $500, 900, 900,
and probably is nearer $500, 900, 900 than

GreeneyiIIe Letter.

GREENEyIILE, TENN, February l, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR: On last Monday the magis-
-trates of the county were called together for
consultation on the subject of county Jail.
The result of the conference was the ap-
pointment of committee to receive plans
and specifications, as well as bids, for a new
jail. 1t is not known how soon the con-
tract viii be let, or what kind of plan for
q jail Will be recommended, but the people
expect and demand that the jail be built Sc
cure.
Since the burning of the jail the Greene
County prisoners have been confined in the
Jonesboro jail. Circuit Court will COM
mence one week from next Monday, and it
will be found both troublesome and expen-
sive to bring the prisoners here for trial,
guard them, and send them back again.
A very sad accident occurred i'll the
Sd civil district of this county, one day last
week Two sons of John A. Ottinger were
engaged in hauling out manure, and in load
ing the wagon one of them, Floyd, walked
in front of his brother, who stuck one
prong of the fork in the back of his head
killing him almost instantly OF course the
accident elected the sympathy OF the entire
community.
Greeneyille is again agitating the question
of forming taxing district, or being again
Incorporated. Something must be done, but
as to whether We shall have a corporation
or a taxing district, public sentiment is di-
vided. Since the abolition of the corpora
ton the sidewalks and streets have been go
ing down, and no measures have been
adopted to repair them. The consequence
is, that although, naturally, Greeneyille is
one of the prettiest towns in the State, its
streets are in disgraeeful condition, and
this has caused a great decline in real estate.

WEEKLY CHRONICLE.
Women Wanted.

Wyoming's want is women. We want
women here, partially to even up the
population and partially to marry. Our
territory Is suffering more now Tor choice
styles of young and middle-aged woman
than for anything else. We need them
III all departments of industry where
women may be employed, and also in
our homes and by our fresides. There
are hundreds of lonely men in Wyoming
who are doing well financially and who
would willingly rush into matrimony #
there were enough matrimony to go
around. 1t is the saddest feature of our
wide Western country at present. The
oyer-populated East, where young man
may pay for ice-cream or oysters for
three girls at time, ought to contribute
some Of its wealth of girls to this desc
late land, where there is only one woman
to five or six men, and where life is a
hollow mockery.
We sometimes wish that nature had
designed us for hired girl instead of an
editor so that we could have been indie
pendent. In this country 'ta hired girl "
is only another name for af1luence and
financial stability.
Twenty-Five dollars per month and
board make the poor, cringing editor
green with envy. And yet there are not
enough girls in this country to do half
the work. A man lives out half his DAYS
and at last secures a wife, only to find
that the latter part of his career will be
devoted to securing a servant girl for
her.
It's tough.
80 4Dn los 10 no 4rI4 o1
this manner. One friend of ours who
has been reared in luxury has been with
out a girl for two months, and although
he has offered all kinds of inducements,
he has been compelled to make the beds
and do the chamber work, while his wife
did the washing and cooked the meals.
Let the man who never tried it, rise at
O'clock, dress five children In the sub
dued light of early morning, then cook
breakfast, eat it and go down town for
couple of months, and he viii allow the
girl that will work for him the use of his
upright piano and take her with him to
the theater. Why, it has arrived at such
a stage here in Laramie that when a man
asks one of his nighbors if he knows of
a servant girl that he can get, the mob
turns loose at him and laughs at him
till he wishes he was dead
Ii is not an uncommon occurrence for
girl to come West, work at regular
wages two or three years, and then, as
an heiress, marry a bloated capitalist
and settle down.
1t is a horrible fact that unless some
thing is done to prevent the centraliza-
ton of capital among the servant girls of
Wyoming, areyolution cannot be avoided.
There is not man within the sound
Of our voice that viii not admit with
tears in his eyes and both suspender
buttons trembling and tottering to their
very foundation, that such is the case.
