An Essay on woman.
fter man came woman.

After man came woman.
And she has been here ever since.
She is a person of free extraction,
being made of mans rib.
L don't know why Adam wanted
to fool away his ribs in that way,
but / suppose he was not accOunta-
bic for all he did.
Il costs more to keep a woman
than it does three dogs and.a shot
gun.
But she pays you back with in
terest-by giving you house full
of children to keep you awake at
night and to smear mOlasses candy
over your Sunday coat.
Besides, a wife is Il very convent
net article to have around the
house.
She is handy to swear at when
ever you happen to cut yourself
with razor, and don't feel like
blaming yourself.
Woman is the superior being in
Massachusetts.
There are about sixty thousand
more of her sex than males in that
State.
This accounts for the terrified,
hunted down expression of the
single men who emigrate from the
East.
Woman was not created perfect.
She had her faults-such as false
hair, false complexion, and so on.
But she is a great deal better than
her neighbor, and she knows it.
Eve was woman.
Sha n1nst no va hapu a m O1al Uifn
too; for it cost Adam nothing to
keep her in clothes.
Still don't think she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles
and air her information about
everybody she knew. nor excite
the envy of other ladies wearing
her new winter bonnet to church.
Neither could she hang over the
back fence and gossip with her
neighbor.
All the blessed privileges were
denied her.
Poor Eve! she's dead now.
Woman is endowed with ire
mendOus fund of knowledge, and a
tongue to suit. "
She has the capacity for learning
everything she was divinely intend
ed to know, and few extra items
besides,
Young ladies take great deal of
stock in classes and learn fast.
When you see Il young lady stu
dent from Vassar, with an absorb
ing look in her eye and her lips
moving you understand at once she
is memorizing a passage from Vir-
gil. -...
But perhaps a closer inspection
will reveal the fact that she is chew
ing gum.
A woman may not be able to
sharpen Il lead pencil or hold an
umbrella, but she can pack more
articles in a trunk than a man can
pack in a one-horse wagon.
The happiest period of woman's
life is when she is making her we'd
ding garments.
The saddest is when her husband
comes home late at night and yelIs
to her from the front door steps to
throw out a handful of key-hOles of
different sizes.
There is some curiosity in femi-
nine nature,

The Case Finally Disposed OF by
the Supreme G0nrrs

the Supreme Coart.
sPhe following decree, written by
Judge M'Farland, was read in the
Supreme court at Nashville, on Sat
urday:
Henry ]. Lynn ct al. VS.. NJ. t. Polk ct al.
This cause was on this and
former days of the term heard be-
fore the supreme court, the Hon.
Edwin III. Ewing, acting by special
commission in the place of the Hon.
w. +. Cooper, who is incompetent
by reason of his interest in the re-
suit.
Whereupon the court is OF the
opinion that this is not a suit
against the State or forbidden by
CHAP. xiii. of the acts of the LegiS-
lature of 1873; and that complain
ants have such an interest as to au-
thoriZe them TO maintain the suit.
The court Is further of the opinion
that the act of the General Assem-
bly, passed on the 5th and approved
on the 9th of April, 1881, and en-
titled an act to compromise and
settle the bonded Indebtedness of
the State of Tennessee is repugnant
to and in violation OF the Constitu-
ton of the State in that it provides
that the coupons to said bonds shall
be receivable for all taxes and debts
due the State, except for taxes for
the payment of the interest on the
common school fund, and that said
coupons shah show upon their face
that they are so receivable, and also
in that the form of the bonds as set
out in said act containing the stipu-
lation that "the coupons of the
bonds as they become due are re-
ceivable for all taxes and debts due
the State of Tennessee" The court
is of opinion that the Legislature
had no power to authorize the issu-
ance of bonds making said provis-
ion part of the contract and that
the bill was properly filed against
the defendants and the injunction
properly granite d and the
Chancellor erred in dismissing the
bill for want Of equity upon its face
and dissolving theinjunctiOn.
The court is therefore pleased to
adjudge and decree that the decree
of the Chancellor be reversed and
the cause be remanded to the Chan
Gerry court at Nashville for further
proceedings.
The court declines to allow the
motion entered in this court by the
defendants soliciting to modify the
injunction so as to permit the de-
PENDANTS to issue bonds without the
provisions above specified or to give
directions 10 the Chancellor to SO
modify the Injunction. ~
The defendants will pay the costs
of this court.
The above decree completely dis
poses of the 100 case and nothing
can be done relative to the settle
ment of the debt until the meeting
of the Legislature.

The Cincinnati Tobacco Journal,
in order to answer the question of
how much seed is necessary to plant
an acre OF tobacco, has pursued an
investigation and found this: In
one grain we found by actual count
! ,494 seed. This would make, by
multiplying by $50, the number of
grains in an ounce, III, 170 seed to
the ounce and S,605, 440 seed to the
pound. Estimating 5000 pounds to
the acre, and suppOsing every seed
will make a plant, every half ounce
will plant nearly seventy-twO acres,
an ounce IA acres, and one pound
1,72l acres. As many farmers are
contemplating planting largely this
season, we recommend careful
study of these figures.

S STATEMENT
UNDER OATH.

| Y HAVE been afflicted for twenty years
l. with an obstinate skin disease, called by
some M. D. Ssoriasis, and Others Leprosy,
commencing on my scalp, and, in spite of
all l could do, with the help of the most
skilltul doctors, it slowly but surely extend
ed until year ago this winter it covered
my entire person in form of dry scales. For
the last three years have been unable to
do any labor, and suffering intensely all
the time. Every morning there could be.
nearly a duStpanful of scales taken from the
sheet on my bed, some of them half as large
as the envelope containing this letter. In
the latter part OF the winter my skin COM
menced cracking open. l tried everything,
almost, that could be thought Of without
any relief The 18th of June started West,
in hopes could reach the Hot Springs. 1
reached Detroit, and was so low 1 thought
should have to go to the hospital, but finally
got as far as Lansing, Mich, Where had
sister living. One Dr. treated me about
, two weeks, but did no good. All thought l
had but short time to live. [ earnestly
prayed to die. Cracked through the skin
hands, limbs, feet badly swoolen, toe nails
came off, finger nails dead and hard as
bone, hair dead, dry and lifeless as old straw.
Oh, my God how did suffer! ..-
My sister, Mrs. K. II. Davis, had small
part OF a box of Cuticura in the house. She
wouldn't give up; we will try Cuticura.'
Eureka! there was relief; stopped the ter
rible burning sensation from the word go.
They Immediately got the Cuticura Resell
vent blood purifier), Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap 1.-THE great skin cures). i commenced
by taking one tablespoonful of Resolvent
three times day, after meals and bath
once day, water about blood heat; used
Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura
morning and evening. Result, returned to
my home in just six weeks from the time
| left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet
of paper. / -

a little tive-year-old boy was
told by his mother a day or two
since to amuse his sister, child of
three. Accordingly, he took her
to one corner of the room, and, tell
ing here to sit down, proceeded to
divert her with story. "Once
there was man named Jesus
Christ" said he; ''he was a good
man, but some bad men got him
and said they meant to hang him ::
and Pm id if they didn't do it."
The mother interrupted the story
right there.

THE Chattanooga Times asserts
that iron can be made at lower rates
in Tennessee than anywhere else in
the Union, and proves it by figures,
thus:
Iron was made in Alabama and
Tennessee furnaces from 1876 to
1879 at an average cost of 81 per
ton. The cost now less than Sl3;
whereas the same quality of pig
costs on the furnace banks in Ohio,
about SIG; in Michigan, SIS, and in
Pennsylvania $40 to $50. 1t is easy
for the crudest observer to see that
the Southern furnace has the best of
it and will continue to improve its
situation as home consumption for
making bar iron, nails, bolts, spikes,
splices, railway bars and other fin
iShed material increases. The
Northern furnaces use over their
cinder, and resort to every device
of saving ON labor and material, in
order to make money. The South
ern masters are put to no such
shifts; and the next panic will
demonstrate their superior advan-
tageS even more markedly than
they have yet been shown. When
that time comes every well built
and fairly managed furnace in the
South will go on blowing, whereas
half of those in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania will blow out or become
bankrupt.
