This expression first occurred in Hey
wood Proverbs, 1862, and was subse-
quently quoted in Hazltts English Pro-
verbs, with Haywood as authority. The
story of the origin of this familiar saying
is as follows: A young English gontle-
man had married Il very handsome lady

be SO determined to be the head Of tho
family that he was anxious to part from
her. He accordingly laid the matter
before her father, Offering, il he would
take her back, to refund all the fortune
which he had received with her. The
old gentleman assured his son-in-law
that his case was by no means IN unusual

not only wish to govern their husbands,
but that they actually did so, some by
one means. and some by another

SymmeS's Hole.

One OF the HIrpsr papers this month
is on the curion4 aui half-forgotteu
theory OF John Oleves Symmes that the
earth Is hollow, open AZ the poles, and
probably, nj le ast capable of being. in
habitel Perhaps the polar interest ot
tls present time invests this tooic with
new interest, Sbnt it has Certainly
already hal IN agazine treatment that is
comparatively recent. lin the Atlantic,
in 1873 J aud in 1876 ii was brou yht
somewhat into fresh publi sitv nv re-
ports that son of Symues had revived
i. One of Symmes's sons -wheth r
the particular one who was to revive the
theory we do not know-has furnished
the writer of the Harper pager with
some OF his Information, but we do not
hear that the son proposes again to have
the theory enforced upon the attention
of a hitherto incredulous world.
"Svmmes's hole" was certainly a
romantic sort of theory. "Svmm0s
believed" says the writer OF the Harper
paper, "that there were beneath our
feet miles and miles of wondrous. uu-
claimed d,main; reindeer roaned its
colder hord srs, fish swan in its seas,
animals aud trees and Il lwers Of curious
and unknown shape made its life a
primal gladness; splendid visions OF
untold wonders. misty dreams OF
spiendors uunamable floated through
his nightly aud daily thoughts. and,
greater than all, burned within him the
ceaseles3 desire to become the dis
coverer of this unknown land" The
writer has no doubt that Symmes was
sincere and entirely above any charlatau
idea of notoriety. It Is to be dtv )utly
hoped that the new attention which this
article will draw to his theory, will not
tend to encourage any further polar
exoeditions. For the present our desire
for these expeditions has been well cared
for and probably all men of science feel
that they have had enough OF Symmes's

vided for foremen and Off icials. A large
hakeshop is kept busy constantly
There is a common butcher shop, and
all the other accessories of large
town. All sales are for cash, the bust
ness is carried on by the firm as part OF
its plan, and the operatives live in the
best style of their countrymen of the

houses are provided and schools main
tanned; industrial education is given. to
both boys and girls; there IS hospital
for sick or injured employees, and, al
together, everything is done that in

of the Krupps attractive and remuner-

The Lime Process.

A new and Interesting method, called
the cline PR ass" has lately been d s.
covered in England for breaking down
coal in a mine without running any of
the. risks incompatible ON blasting.
The process, which is said by the Lon
don Echo to be decided success, is
bri, az this Holes are drilled in the
solid coal ut intervals near the roof, and
into these are inserted cartridges" of
highly compressed. very caustic lime.
The cartiidges are three inches III dame
ter. and OF any desired length, but they
are made with groove into which a
small iron pipe can be inserted. The
hole being filed and the pipe inserted,
it is plugged or tamped to prevent the
escape Of steam. aud, a number being
ready. a small force-pump is attached
by Fl xihle tube to the pipe and the
water forced in, which, escaping, vets
the lime. The pipe is then closed by a
stopcock, and the same operation re-
peated Mt the next hole. The first re-
suit ia the conversion of the water into
steam, which itself tends to force the
coal down but after q time the lime
swelIs with irresistible power, and, the
sprags being removed, the coal comes
down in large blocks. The operation a
watering the ime is performed very rap
idly, a few minutes suffic ng to 3" fire y
any required number of trtridges.

Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-03-30

The license were procured last Saturday
by youth of some II or Is years, residing
in the Shieldstown neighborhood, to marry
a neighbours daughter, of equally tender
years. The match, it seems, was to be a
runaway one, and the event was to culmi-
nate in an elopement Saturday night,
but the parents of the girl kept
such watch upon her that the
scheme failed. 1t was next intended to
have the ceremony celebrated Sunday, and
again Monday, but it was o failure each
time. Finally the parents of the girl be-
came somewhat softened in heart, and
agreed that the marriage could take place
at home. Consequently the arrangements
were consumated, the preacher procured,
and all seemed ready on the in
tended brides part, at the
appointed hour yesterday, but
the intended groom did not put in an
appearance promptly, and when he did
come he announced that he had changed
his mind and concluded not to marry. II
is said that some vigorous parental threats
played a conspicuous part in bring.
ing the young man to such a conclusion.
At any rate, the fun was all spoiled, the
minister's dream of a munifeent(?) fee
faded away, the would-be groom was out
his so cents expended for license, and the
assembled guests departed in a disappointed
mood.

quaintance, and none knew her but to ad-
mire and esteem her for her many excellent
and womanly qualities. She leaves faith
