THE MACHINE SHors Approaching
the numerous advantages that will accrue
to the town in case the machine shops Of
the Knoxville Branch are located at Rich.
mond Junction; the Board Of Trustees has
very wisely ordered an election TO be held
tomorrow, Wednesday, between the hours
Of 0 A. ~ and p N. to take the sense Of
the people in regard to the town subscrib-
ing 81 600 towards securing that location.
The only trouble about locating at the
Junction seems 20 be that the railroad
company is Of the impression that the land
they wish ia held at price beyond
its value TO them, and for that reason their
engineer, Capt McMichael, has reported
in favor Of Crab Orchard, where the lands
necessary to the works can be had either
very cheaply or entirely free Of cost. IL
will require for the shops and side
tracks about 20 acres Of land for which we
understand they are willing to pay from
$50 to s75 The owners Of the lands they
would use at the Junction, hold it at from
500 TO Sl25, and it il worth all Of the
former figures, even for farming purposes.
Now the proposition seems TO be that il
the people Of the town will pay the differ
ence between what the Company thinks the
land is worth and what the owners hold it
at, the shops will be located at the June
tion, and that point be made the terminus
Of both the Louisville aud the Knoxville
Divisions. In other words, two full sets
Of hands for all the trains will lay over
there. All the repairs necessary for the
two divisions will be done there, and it is
also said that shops for the building oil
cars will be put up. A railroad Official
tells us that il is likely that the force o.
hands required al the shops and others who
will have to make their homes there, viii
draw a monthly pay Of at least $4,000
the greater portion Of which will be spen
in this locality. IL will therefore be seeI
the location is worth striving for, Th'
merchants, of course, would be the mel
most largely benefited, but what benefits
them indirectly benefits the whole com
munity. II will enhance the value o
lands and Of town property, and no doub
bring other important manufactures here
There are those who say that they would
do most anything before they would Civ
to a railroad; that il the railroad wants th'
shops at the junction, the difference of
few thousand dollars will not proven
them. BE this as il may, 1t ia silly to urg
Il. liza few thousand dollars will secur
the shops here, every man with the inter
est Of the town at heart should vote for th
proposition, aud every man OF busines
should privately contribute to the exten
Of his ability. We understand that iror
, s., 500 to $4,000 can be raised by priyat
subscription, and surely there ar
; enough public spirited men in town
; carry the election in favor Of the propos
ton,

Utilizing Rough Ground.

On many farms there are portions Of
land that cannot be plowed without
great difficulty on account of ravines or
stones. They may be seeded to grass
and used for pasturage, but it is hard to
cut the grass that grows on them. This
broken land may generally be utilized
to excellent advantage by planting it to
crops that require considerable room.
Grapes do well on rocky and broken
land, if sufficient pains be taken to pre-
pare the places where the vines are to
stand. Quite large hole should be
excavated and partially filled with man
ure and loose earth. A rocky soil is
ordinarily warm and well drained by
the spaces between the stones. Many
of the best vineyards in Europe are
located on land so broken and rocky
that it cannot be made to produce pay
ing crops Of grain, grass, or potatoes
Tomatoes can also be proftably raised
on broken land. The vines require con-
siderable space in which to spread their
branches. There is some trouble in
preparing the hills, but the warm loca-
ton and good drainage will generally
insure large crops that ripen early in
the season. Pumpkins, melons and
squashes may be planted on broken and
rocky land to most excellent advantage.
AS the hills should be about ten feet
apart, but little difficulty will be found
in making them. Excavations can be
made with the spade or pick if Unnecessary,
and nearly filled with suitable manure
and fine earth. The large space between
the hills will require little attention ex-
cept to remove the weeds, which will
not be very troublesome in poor soil.
If u farmer has large tracts of broken
and rocky land he can scarcely do better
than to plant it to forest trees, giving a
preference to those that will produce
nuts.

RATES or FRCIUllT
Performance Of a Somnambulist,

A curious psychological study is af-
forded by the case of young lad of
fourteen years, whose performances
when asleep are certainly marvellous.
The lads name is Martin Frobischer,
and it is said of him that from his ear
lest boyhood he has been the subject of
somnambuism. He has n decided tai
ent for drawing, in which art he has
lately become quite interested. This
exercise has taken such a hold upon the
boys mind that he rises in the night in
completely unconscious state, and will
continue to work on an unfinished piece
of drawing with as much skill and dex-
terity as though he We're awake, The
other night he got up and drew head
from east which he had drawn on pa
per during the previous day, on the wall
of his chamber. In conversation with
the boys father, the latter said, ii can
understand how somnambulstic sub
ject can go through certain mechanical
motions, but it is inconceivable to me
how the boy is able to draw with such
perfect attention to every detail-to put
expression into an eye, for instance, and
spirit into face" He exhibited some
very clever drawings by the boy, par
italy done, as he declared, while tho
little fellow was in this remarkable con-
dition. He is very DESTROYS that the
case should have the light of n scientific
investigation.

Vaocinating Prima Donnas.


Ecv tho Girm'a Troupe was inccula.od In Philadelphia.
A well-known physician of Philadel-
phia was very busy the other day with
various members of 'Ier Majesty's OPP
era Company. The fear of smallpox
was rampant in the breasts of prima
donnas and tenors, bassos and chorus,
and even the gallant manager and his
brawny son We're waiting their turn in
the green-room of the Academy of Mu-
sic for incubation with the safety-giving
virus. A Press reporter tells the story
thus;
"1ou must bare your arm, Miss Juch;
! assure you it will not hurt you in the
least, a little tingling sensation and all
Is over
81 cannot allow you to distigure my
arm, Monsieur" was Mile. Juch's eX-
clamation as she drew back with pretti-
ly feigned horror from the doctor. "How
can look pretty on the stage if you put
those great ugly scars on me; no, will
not have it."
''But, Mademoisele, considerthe risk,
smallpox would disiigure you alto
gether."
bah! Perhaps! But nevertheless
you shall not spoil my arm; if you insist
on vaccinating Newell, you must do
IL on place where il will not be SEEM"
The doctor argued, but in vain, and
finally the fair soprano suggested that
the incubation should be made on one
of the main supports of her body when
in an attitude of prayer; the portion Of
the right lower limb known to the stu
dent of anatomy by the Latin name of
Synobm. Plainly, she would be vaccin-
ated in one knee TO this the physician,
after some demur, consented, and the
operation was performed. "Now il 1t
swells,' said the prima donna, as the
medical man bowed himself out of her
presence, al will hate you always"
Each member of the opera troupe,
while anxious to be insured against tho
dread disease, had his or her theory as
to how the lymph should be applied to
their bodies. Several were willing to
allow their arms to be punctured; the
majority, however, especially those Of
the fair sex, insisted on being vaccinated
on the least conspicuous part OF tbeir
persons. The knee, tho calf Of the leg.
the wrist, the foot, and even the back of
the neck had its advocates. and general
commiseration and coincidence Is the

Freaks of Gamblers,

Enough has been said about the super
stitions of gamblers to fill volumes, but
the subject will never be exhausted so
long as the passion for gambling exists.
Among the "Gleanings from Monte
Carlo" have recently appeared the fol-
lowing instances of the lunacy to which
gamblers are subjected:
"A well-known Italian Marchesa never
sits down without a talisman in the
shape of a tiny glass bottle hidden in
the palm of her hand and containing
live insect; and one of the most indefa-
tigable votaries of roulette, Paris
banker, positively declined, a few
months ago, to commence operations,
and returned to Nice, because q ticket
bearing the number twenty-nine had
been given him at the door in exchange
for his overcoat.
Last winter two habitues were talk
ing of a common friend of theirs, who,
one of them remarked, was in deep
aflliction on account of the death of his
only son.
VERY sad, indeed" observed the
other: 81 conclude that you ascertained
the necessary particulars and profited
by themP"
Il did and / did not" replied the
first speaker; "that is to say, / found
out that the boy was Sugars old, and
that he died on November 80, at 6 o'clock
Naturally played pretty heavy on these
numbers-eight, thirty and six-one
after another, and then what do you
think hapenedP"
They came up, Suggested his friend.
"Not they. That scoundrel of an en-
ployee-the thin one, you know, with
the hatchety face-actually brought up
twenty-scven, my pet number, three
times running, and, of course, l was not
on it. Can you conceive anything
more unlucky?"
