They Didn't Sell Stoves.
From the Detroit Free Press,

Four or five weeks ago q woman with
an undecided look on her face entered
Detroit hardware store, threaded her
way for sixty feet among coal stoves a
every pattern, and timidly required:
"Do you keep stoves here?"
"Yes'm."
"Coal stoves?"
"Yes'm."
She said she had been thinking Of get
ting coal stove for the winter, and tho
clerk took her in hand: He showed
her how the doors worked and how tho
dampers were arranged, and the hues
situated, and he talked Of double drafts,
great savings, increased cheerfulness,
reduction in price, and all that, and she
said she'd think it over and drop in
again. 49,. -...-
In about three days the woman reap
peared and inquired of the very same
clerk If they sold coal stoves. He re-
piled that they did sell one now and
then, and he cleared his voice and began
the usual thirty minute lecture on the
Michigan, the Detroit and the Peninsular
base-burner. The beautiful nickle-plate,
the place for tea-kettle, the ornamental
legs-the anti-clinker shaker-all points
were touched upon and praised AMI ex-
planned, and the woman said she wouldn't
take one along under her arm Just then,
but would call again. She called again
that same week, heard the same lecture
from the same clerk. and started for
the bank to draw the money to pay for
. base-burner. That was the last eeen
of her for . week. Then she walked
softly in and innocently inquired:
II suppose you keep coal stoves7"
."NO ma'am." +.
''Not any kind?" -..,,..- =.
"Not ! one. We used to, but went
out OF the business Z year ago"
There were twenty coal stoves on tho
floor, but If she saw them she didn't let
on. She heaved = sigh of dissppoint-
ment, glanced around her, and went
slowly out viii, the remark: 2HF

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.

+: Washington Special: The commissions,
Of the gens1al land office, in a communi.
cation to . firm of lawyers, answers some
;very pertinent questions Of interest to home
stead and pre- -emption settlers. In response
to an inquiry relative to the location OF
soldiers additional homestead rights on
mon: contiguous lands, the commissions,
says the land office does not construe the
law so as to require that the
tracts entered :, must be contiguous,
Two, ;%%ofss. the questions relate to

Chains, and to the validity of these claims
when suc,i deeds and contracts are: made or

Another question, as to the time within
which q settler on unsurveyed lands may
make proof after filing Of the township plat
to survey in the local land Office, is to be
answered according to the circumstances of
any case that may be presented. A settler
is entitled to credit for the time of his actual
settlement, whether the land is surveyed or
unsurveyed. and the facts of settlement, res

gether with the good faith of the settl. r., are
matters primarily to be shown in every case

The New Professors Accept.

Col Moses White, secretary pro tenn. of
the board of trustees of the University of
Tennessee, received some days ago COM
munication from Prof. Rodes Massie, of
Richmond, Va, couched in elegant
and BETTING language, accepting the
position of professor of English
and modern languages in that institution,
to which he was recently elected. He will
be here in time for the beginning of the
next term, which is Thursday, September
7th
Colonel White also received yesterday the
acceptance of Prof John w. Glenn, of JEFF
ferson. Ga, of the position of professor of
agriculture, &c, in the same institution. The
reason of the delay in writing was that Prof.
Glenn was absent attending the National
Teachers Association at Saratoga. The
services of Prof. Glenn had also been en-
gagged to hold State Normal Institute in
Georgia, during the month of August, but
he has taken steps to have his place supplied
and will come to Knoxville as soon as he can
wind up his business, and assume the
duties of the responsible position. Prof.
McBryde, who is here yet, temporarily,
will give him such information and assist
| ance as is needed.
Both gentlemen express their pleas
ure at their election, also
| thanks to Col White for his kindness in the
matter, and promise to devote all their en-
ergies to the interests of the institution into
whose faculty they are called.

Hon. Benjamin Harvey Hill.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-An Atlanta
dispatch says: In modern annals
there has not been death so full of
horrors as that which Benjamin
Harvey Hill is suffering, nor has the
resignation and Christian philosophy
exhibited, been excelIed. He is yet
cheerful, patient and resigned The
patient is put to sleep every night
about eight o'clock, with hyper
donnie injection of morphine, and
does not awake until IL o'clock the
following morning. Three grains of
morphine are administered daily, the
patient never being allowed to come
thoroughly from under its influence.
His food consists of milk, into which
yolks of eggs have been beaten, and
little whisky added. About three
quarts of this mixture is passed into
the patients stomach every day
through a tube, no portion of the
fluid touching bis palate-cancer, for
such it is acknowledged to be by all
but those who have not had any con
nectiOn with the case. 1t has de-
stroyed all the tissues of his throat
and mouth, on the left side, as we'll
as the lower jaw or sub-maxillary
bone. The opening is so large that
two or three fingers pass freely into
/ tue mouth from below, and the palate
| can be seen when tie patent Is lying
/ down and one approaches him from
the feet. The outer carotid artery
is exposed, and pulsatIon Is
plainly seen. The soft or connective
tissue has been eaten away, and only
such tough, elastic substances as
compose walls artery are left intact.
What is left of the tongue is at
tached to the right side by very
slender hgament, and constant fear
is felt that it will become detached
and fail into the patients throat
when asleep, and thus end his suf-
fering, while yet sufficient strength
| exists for further continuance OF the
contest with the dual destroyer.
His mouth is kept filed
with absorbent and antisep-
tic cotton, which is frequently
/ changed as is the dressing on the
| odtslde. No intinotanal remedy is
Low given nor has any been admin
istered since the abandonment of the
/ French cancer cure, which consisted
III an injection into the blood'of pu-
rlfied carbonic acid, the object beng
to destroy the cancerous germs in
the blood. The final change, it is
now thought, will come from sheer
exhaustion. If the morphine treat
ment was suspended he would soon
sink from the effects of pain. Now,
all that can be done is to alleviate
his suffering and prolong life a few
days, which, in spite of his terrible
condition, be seems to prize more
than those upon which he gained his
glory.

JERSEY CRY, July 27.-The strik-
ing freight handlers met to day at
st. Michaels Institute. President
Mcnamara announced that he had
seen Rev. Father Deconcilio, of st.
Michael's Roman Catholic Church,
who had authorized him to state that
the Erie Company had offered to
tp ke back their old hands without

they would give up the union. He
asked the men if they would agree
to Go it, and was answered by deaf
ening no." from all parts of the
hall.
jeremiah Murphy stated that as
the workingmen of the country had

money, it would hardly be fair to
them to abandon the union No

The peculiar action on the kidneys and
urinary organs of asparagus is frequently
noticed during the season. Prof. Benton
recently proved in the case of Emperor
William and others that in combination with
malt and quinine it is an absolute specific
for diseases of the liver, kidneys and urinary
organs. His method has been adopted by
the Malt Bitters Company, and this great
German food is now composed of malt,
Hops, quinine bark and asparagus.

When l see a house in process of build
ing without a liberal allowance of piazzas,
/ resent it almost as n personal injury, al
though there may be no proba-
bility that / shall ever sit under that
mans vine or fig-tree. The vine, especially,
would be altogether fgurative without the
material support of a veranda. As good n
rule would be, in building first make your
piazza, then attach a house to it:
The indoor parlor is sure to be provid-
ed with the usual amount of sofas and
draperies but the outdoor is too often like
a rent-the accident of a day. shall we
run out a railing here and n few steps, and
have a veranda Yn asks Paterfamilias, in n
dubious sort of a way, and his wife usu-
ally a~ssents, for she does not dislike the
idea although she would sooner part with
this a%ppendage than give up the valuable
Enclosure at the back of the kitchen, which
is so particularly handy as a sort of store
house, and n place for the doing oil odd JOBS.
The enthusiasm comes from the girls,
who know the value of a front piazza with
a thick green curtain of honeysuckles and
wisteria, making n shady retreat through
the long June days and the torrid August
noons-fragrant, like carefully kept linen,
with delicious country smells-clover and
fresh hay, in place of lavender and rose

And when the moonlight comes and
traces n lattice-work of leaves on the piaz-
"a floor, and touches with lambert light
each spray and corner,
Making earth's mmo things appear
All rOnlRntic. poetic and tender
the outdoor parlor is in its glory. 1t is the
most delightful, dreamy Longing place,
where the h~oneysuckle perfumes the air,
and the steps are frequently occupied by
half-visitors who could scarcely nerve them
lelves up to the formula of n regular call.
How charming is its twilight darkness to a
class of people who do most of their CONVEX
sation in whipers, and who are seldom char
acterlzed as great t~alkers-who look upon
the brightness of the indoor parlor and its
animated groups without any feelings of
envy, assured that whatever good times
there are in the world they are having
them! What would lovers do if there were
no piazzas?

ERRORS OF PRINT.-The most common
kind of absurdity in printer used to be
comes in the compositors work he
mechanical process of type-setting. As
for instance: A compositor on the Bing-
hamton Republican, who was recently
handed q paragraph which read; The
lumbermen in this vicinity are busy skid
ding their logs, preparatory to hauling to
the mill" set it up to read, The humber
men in this vicinity are busy skinning
their dogs, preparatory to hGuling to their
meals
Sometimes, however, we lave to credit
the writer with the whimsicality-as in
cases of Irish-English, or naiue s~uper1uity,
like the following:
A Chicago morning daily found q little
boy a few days ago, who, according to its
veracious chronicler, was very dead, in
deed. The reporter wrote: THE boy was
quite dead. No efforts could resuscitate
him in the least"
This is quite rs good as the amusing
"bull' culled from a recent feuilleton in
the Paris Figaro, which runs Not a cry
did she utter, nor give any sign of life
not even when her brother-in-iaw put his
hand to her heart and said 70 Vague, She
is dead"
