ANECDOTES OF TITIAg.

During the winter of 1913, Titan went to
Augsburg, where Charles V again required
his services the emperor had become very
fond of the artist, and treated him with the
greatest respect and consideration. While
on this visit, it happened one day that Titan
dropped his pencil. and the emperor picked
it up and returned it to him; court etiquette
forbade that the sovereign should DO such
service for any one, and Titan was much
embarrassed Charles, seeing this, said:
.-Titan is worthy to be served by Caesar"
(..Casar' was one of the titles OF the empe-
ror.)
AT Augsburg the painter was made 4 count
and received yearly pension of two hundred
gold ducats.
Some writers have laid that Titan visited
Spain. This does not now appear to be true
though it is certain that Charles V continued
through life his fayors to him, and when the.
emperor resigned his crown and went to live
in the monastery Of Yuste. he took with him
nine pictures by Titan. one Of these was
portrait Of the Empress Isabella, upon which
Charles gazed when on his death-bed; it rs
now IN the museum Oh ntcIIu. %Nitci Sudiics
had given up his crown to his son Phillip III,
the new monarch patronized the artist as his
father had done, and many fine works by the
master are now in Madrid.
Although Titan had enjoyed much pros
perity, he had also suffered much Lis wife
and his dear sister, Orsa, had died; his son,
Pompouio had been 4 worthless fellow, and
had made his father very unhappy; his daugh-
ter, Lavinia, had married, and the old artist
was left alone with OraZio, who. however,
was 4 dutiful son. But Titan had then
reached such all age that most of the friends
of his middle lite had died, and he was a
lonely old man.
He had painted many pictures of Layinia,
who was very beautiful; one of these, at Ber-
lin. shows her in rich dress holding up "a
plate of fruit. and it is one of the best Of all
his works.
Orazio was an artist, but he usually paint
on the same canvas with his father, and his
works cannot be spoken of separately. Ma
ny pupils from all parts of Europe gathered
about Titan in his latest years, and it is said
that toward the close of his life, when he was
at work upon an ..AnnunciatioD," some one
told him that it did not resemble his former
works; this made him very angry, and he
seized pencil and wrote upon the painting,
'.Tizianus fecit fecit,"-by which he meant
TO say, ''Titian truly did this"'-.T. Nicholas.

TO RUSSIA.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

Where was thou when laid the founda
ton Of the earth Bible.
Who tanned thy lawess Tartar blood?
What David bearded in her den
The Russian bear in ages when
You strobe your black, unbridled steed,
A skin-clad savage of the sleeps.
Why one who now sits low and weeps,
Why one who now walls out to you,
The jew; the homeless, bated jew
Who girt the thews Of your young prime!
Why, who but Moses shaped your course
And bound your fierce. divided force
United down the grooves Of Time?
Your mighty millions, all to day
The hated homeless Jews obey.
Who taught all histories to you!
The jew: the hated, homeless Jew.
who taught you tender Bible tales
OF honey lands, OF milk and wine?
OF happy, peaceful Palestines
OF Jordan's holy harvest wales!
Who gave the patient Christ: say,
Who gave you Christian creed? Yea, yea,
Who gave your very God to you?
The jew! The jew. The hated Jew.

JOLLY GIRL OF TIE PERIOD.

When young girl gets impatient of re-
straint and anxious first and chief Of all, to
have '.jolly time she is in position OF
at least possible peril. From the jolly girls
in certain ranks of society the Jennie Cra-
mers are recruited-girls who mean no harm
but who are so careless OF eonyentionalities
that they are in danger before they are
aware. Our social customs allow freedom
between the sexes which is wise and
healthy, but contains perilous possibilities.
There is room at least for the inquiry,
whether what may be called the caisthenic
craze, tine cultivation of the '.niannish'
sports, games and forms OF physical exercise
among girls, may not have been the occasion
in part for the diminished gentleness and
womanliness Observable in the jolly girl Of
the period.

and said, ''Take this Christian for model.
To Ruyter he said: "Give me thy hand,
Christian. Thou shalt be my friend.' He
threw purse of gold upon the table, and
SAID: 1T is, thou mayst believe, as much
as thou hast asked. will make of the cloth

Ruyter returned to Holland with large pro-
fits but said nothing of this occurrence to
his master, who learned of it first from
other.
This was the beginning of Ruyter's great
fortune. He soon became the captain OF his
masters ship; and after his masters death,
he enterted into the naval service of Hol-

the highest rank, that of admiral, and won
many victories over the enemies of his coun-

BEULAH.
BY A. A. GLENN.

Sweet Reulah-land, of thee i sing,
The SYMBOL OF holy thing;
The synonym OF welded bliss
OF pure affections ardent kiss.
The brightest leaf on memory's page,
From blooming youth to hoary age,
When two fond souls, their wishes crowned.
In Hymen's silken chains are bound,
Joined heart to heart and hand to hand.
They journey on through Bculah-land.
OH Beulah-land. oh blissful state,
oh JOY beyond conception great,
" hen hopes that long our bosom thrilled.
And loves young dream were all fulfilled,
When proudly TO our throbbing breast
The ..chosen one was foudly pressed,
And, treasured up each word and tone
As but the echo of our own,
We felt that all eur SORROWS past,
In Beuiah-land we dwelt at last.
This bliss in days gone by was mine
This happiness almost divine
Ny thirsty soul then deeply quatfed
Loves sweet intoxicating draught,
And deemed that at length bad found
Celestial joys on earthly ground:
Nor dreamed that ought below could sever
The ties hoped would last forever;
or death along my pathway ding
The shadow of his sable wing.
Nv idol shattered in the past
BY DEATH and the stern iconociast,
And my once happy home by fate
Made sad and dark and desolate;
No more in Beulah-land / rest,
Nor clasp the loved one to my breast;
But all bereft, I'm left alone,
Among lies path to wander on,
Until lay my burden down,
And for the cross receive the crown.

ALL IS VANITY.

What is Hope ? A smiling rainbow
Children follow through the wet;
IT'S not here. still yonder, yonder;
Never urchin found it yet
What is Life A thawing ice-board
On a sea with sunny shore;
Gay. we sail it melis beneath US
We are sunk and seen no more.
What is Man? A foolish baby,
Vainly strives and fights and irets;
Demanding all. deserving nothing:
One small grave is all he gets.

Necessity for House of Correction.

There is a great and growing need
throughout the State of Tennessee for the
establishment of houses of correction Es-
pecially is this need felt in Memphis, Nash
vile, Chattanooga and Knoxville. The
enormous increase of crime in the State de-
mands it, for every day brings to light fresh
instances of depravity in the youths and
maidens, in the men and women who COM
pose society, and the crying need of the
hour is the establishment of houses of correc-
ton in the cities and large towns, by means
of which crime may be checked, and crimi-
mails reformed into good, hon.
est men aid women The
penitentiary at Nashville contains about
three hundreds youths who have been seL-
fenced for criminal deeds for a period ex-
tending from three to ten years. They will
come out of the penitentiary hardened
criminals, because they will not dare to look
honest men in the face. They will feel the
sting, and should they ever forget it for a
moment, the burning disgrace of having
suffered confinement in the penitentiary,
with convicted felons and murderers will be
thrust at them, and they will be shut out
forever from all hope of expi-
ating their errors, their crimes,
perhaps, and living honestly in the
| sight of God and man. At the next assem-
| ling of the Legislature we hope steps will
| e taken toward the establishment of such
houses. In every judicial district in the
State there should be three-one for juven-
lies, one for women and one for men.
There is no doubt that they would do much
good in the way of reforming both sexes
and keeping them from going headlong into
the deeper sloughs of sin and vice. These
establishments would bring about a moral
cleansing, and the pollution, filth and crime
which are now so prevalent, would be in a
manner extirpated, and we would see that 50
many ofenses against morality, purity
and honesty, would not occur, and the
cities and towns would not be so crowded
with criminals and depraved men and
women of the lowest character. Let the
Legislature pass law for the establishment
of houses of correction for Juveniles and the
men and women who transgress the laws of
morality and society. Unless some such
method is employed, our State will be a
synonym for bloodshed, butcheries, thefts,
immortality and everything contained in the
calendar of crime. Criminals will infest
every portion of the State and rapine and
high-handed crime will be its motto

STATE ITEMS.

The undergraduate exhibition of the
East Tennessee Wesleyan University at
Athens, was held last Thursday. The Post
says: ''The term which has just closed has
been successful as any other correspond
ing term in the history of the institution.
One hundred and twenty-five students have
been enrolled, who have uniformly conduct
ed themselves in quiet and orderly man
ner, and have diligently applied themselves
to improving their opportunities for ac-
quiring an education. The second term,
which is just opening, promises to be one of
the most prosperous the University has ever
known"
The editor of the Kingston East Tennes-
seean passed through Roanoke, Va, a few
days ago, and has this to say of the won
derful growth of the place: 'What year
ago was a bowling wilderness is now q
busy, thriving city. In 1881, where was
harvested a field of wheat now stands a
grand hotel, costing $50. 900. Lit up with
gas, and with hot and cold water from cellar
to attic Numerous manufactures are
springing up, and the hum of machinery is
heard on every side. a two-hundred acre
farm sold there the other day for $40, 600.

containing 600 acres, nearly 200 of which
was steep upland-for S125, 600 A Mr.

TRANSIT OF VENUS.
The Magnificent Sight that Will Appear
In the Heavens To-day


In the Heavens To-day
Provided the weather be favorable, the
people of the whole United States will to-
day have an opportunity, which will not re-
cur till the year 1904, of observing transit
Of Venus. an astronomical phenomenon of
the first importance. The planet. reaching
her inferior conjunction, to-day makes her
way over the SUMS face. Those who may
be so much interested as to have
provided themselves with pieces of
smoked glass to protect the
eyes from the glare of the orb of day will,
few minutes after a. M, see tiny black
dot making its transit across the SUMS disc.
The journey will continue until a few min
ntes after 3:l5 p. M, when, the transit
having been concluded, Venus will disap-
pear from sight, reappearing after few
days as the morning star. There are four
phases of the transit which astronomers will
take pains to note with the most perfect
| accurancy. These are the four CONTACTS"
which, for observers in our longitude, will
take place at the times here designated:
First contact at about sos a. IN,
First internal contact at about 9:29 a. m.
Second internal contact at abont 800 p.
Last contact at about 1927 p. m.
| At the first contact" the round, dark
ball of Venus first makes apparently q
notch in the solar disc; at the first internal
contact she has passed wholly upon the
SUMS face, and solar light begins to glim.
mer behind her; at the second internal con.
tact the planet, having passed entirely
across the SUMS surface, joins its dark body
to the darkness around the sun; at the lats
contact she has completed her egress and il
| he nf has oSs
must be asoertained to within the smallest
possible fraction of second. The regular
observers sent out by the transit of Venu,
commission of the United States have beer
| practicing on an artificial transit, with
| view to train their faculties for the mic,
service required. A bright image of the
sun is provided and a round black dist
of tin, representing Venus, moves out BY
clock work at about the rate of the planet
as many as possible of circumstances of ths
| transit being secured. There is the same
tremor of the light before it shoots acros
at the internal contact, which renders exsc
determination of time impossible, and thu
same inability to see the notch the first in
stance of its formation at external contact
In the real transit Venus cannot be seen be
fore her first contact, unless possibly JUS
prior to it her presence be manifested BY
faint ring of light about her, due to the
refraction of her atmosphere, After she il
partly projected on the sun thread O
light, due to this cause, will doubtless b,
observed. The notch in the edge of tn,
sun which is the first reliable indication o
the beginning of the transit, will be lookes
for at point on the southeast limb of the
sun. The point of exit will be on the sum-
southwest limb.

To the Public!I

Ny name having long been used without
authority in one or more advertisements of
The Tennessee Life and Nuptial Union" in
points remote from Knoxville as director
of said association, L take this method of
stating that I was induced to sign the ap-
phcation for charter for said association,
which I did without reading it or knowing
anything of its objects save that it was said
to be intended to aid young men who de-
sired to marry. After the charter was OBJ
tanned, was notified of the intention to
meet and organize, when I distinctly an
nounced that would have nothing to do
with its organization in any manner or form
and never have had any connection with
it further than as above stated, nor have I
had any knowledge of its transactions, ex-
cept such as was common to the public.

Judge Houk Highly HonOred.

Information reached the city yesterday
that an election was had at the Garfield
Fair, which was recently held in Washing
ton, to ascertain the choice of the visitors
for the next President of the United States,
and gold watch, valued at three hundred
and sixty dollars, was the premium offered
to the successful person. The Fair was
grand success, large crowds,
numbering hundreds being present, and
Judge Houk was the lucky man. His vote
was 1851; Logsn's sS2; Blaine's 419; the other
votes scattering. It will be seen the Judges
majority over Logan is 169, over Blaine
632. AS soon as the full returns come in
they will be published. This is a oompli-
ment and honor the people of the Second
district will not soon forget.

Colourless and Cold.

A young girl deeply regretted that she
was SO colourless and cold. Her face was
too white, and her hands and feet felt as
though the blood did not circulate. After
one bottle of Hop Bitters had been taken
she was the rosiest and healthiest girl in the
town, with vivacity and cheerfulness of
mind gratifying to her friends.
