at Runnymede the charter of liberties.
which they had drawn up.
The following are the principal provis-
ions contained in the magma Charta," as
Johns charter is called:
FSrst-The church of England shall en-
joy its liberties inviolate, especially its lib
erty of elections.
Second-Reliefs are reduced to a fixed
sum for the various classes of the vassals.
Heirs and heiresses are protected in their
goods and persons. To widowsare grant
ed the possession of their own inheritance
and of their dover, and the permission to
remain single as long as they please.
Third-The case in which the king can
exact aids are reduced to three, namely {,
when he himself is to be ransomed from
captivity, when his oldest son is made a
knight, and when his oldest daughter mar
ries. To levy an aid at other times the
consent of the great council is required.
Fourth-No freeman shall be arrested or
imprisoned or 'disseized of his lands, or
outlawsd or destroyed in any manner, nor
will we 60 upon him, nor send him to
prison, unless by legal decision of his
equals, or by the law of the land.
Fifth 1--WE will not sell, we will not re-
fuse, we will not defer right or justice to
any one.'
Sirth-''The city of London shall have
all its old liberties and its free institutions.
Moreover we will and grant that all other
cities, towns and villages and barons of the
cinque ports. and all our ports, shall have
all their liberties and customs Free"
These were the principal provisions of
this celebrated document; and in order
that the king might not evade the obser-
vance of them, he was forced to allow the
barons to appoint twenty-five from their
number, whose duty it was to see that the
charter was observed; and who were invest
ed with the power of calling the freemen
to arms against the king if he should vio-
late it.

Il BO!d Criticism Nrs. LNngtry's Peg

Under ordinary circumstances, criticism
has nothing whateveIto do with the per-
sonal attributes CT an artist; but when
these are the only grounds upon which she
bases her right to appear upon the stage,
it may not be very far amiss to consider
her merits from that point of view.
She. certainly has an air of refinement
and of distinction, and is unquestionably
a well-bred woman. But these are not ex-
ceptionable qualities on the stage. Her
eyes are steel gray in color, and are by no
means sparkling or capable of variety in
expression. Her mouth is large and not
particularly shapely, while her lips do not
follow the line Of beauty in their forms
Her nose is long, ungraceful in its lines,
and out of proportion to the length of her
face. Her chin is full and heavy, as is the
whole lower part of her face, which, though
amiabie in its general expression, conveys
the impression of fxity Or lack Of fie1i-
bility. Her neck is very beautiful, aid Is
surerbly set upon her shoulders, which are
shapely and are well carried. Her hands
are large, though not badly formed. bnt
her wrists are ugly, and her arm. from the
wis. to the elbow, is anything bu; the IDEAL
of physical beauty. From the elbow to
the shoulder it is thin in proportion to the
fullness of her figure. Her feet are large
and not we'll shaped. Her legs are thin
and far from abundant in lines Of grace,
and her knees protrude. Perhaps the ar
tistic manner in which they are padded
may have something to do with the unfav-
orable effect produced. Her stage walk is
heavy and ungainly, and at times she stalks
with vigor that is far from becoming. In
fact, 10 be brief, we have seen many women
of much greater physical beauty on the
stage, about whom it has not been consid-
cred OF vital necessity for either the press
or the public to rave.

If the bondholders understood the
condition and the temper of the pco-
pie Of Tennessee and really desired to
secure permanent settlement of the
debt they would not ask more than
5O.3. That passed even by the pres
ent Legislature might stand. The
people are tired of agitation and
ready to begin the serious aud practi-
cal work Of paying something, provided
their equities are recognized and that
the whole pound Of flesh is not de-
manded. 1t is suicidal to attempt to
pay more than they cln, even if there
were no equities or grounds for abate
ment in the case. Another default Of
interest would be the result in less
than five years, and then in spirit Of
despair and resentment the people
would become repudiators in
dead earnest, and the State
would be set back twenty
years. A reasonable proposition would
do more to foster sentiment Of State
credit and encourage the people than
all the Trades Of abuse and high.
toned moral homilies ever written.
The 6O-4-5- proposition is not liberal.
In the FIRST place it is more than we
morally owe, and secondly it imposes
too great burden and drain upon
the producing forces Of the State.
The debts say no less than $32, ,000, 900.
At sixty cents on the dollar, this
would be reduced to $l9, 100000. The
interest on this, at 4 per cent, would
be $76s,OOO per annum. In three
years, under the plan proposed, this
would amount to $2,3O4,OOO. At
per cent the interest would be $500,
COO per annum, Or $4,8O0,0OO in five
years, as proposed, or 81, 100000 to be
paid out in eight years without re.
ducing the principal after that, at
per cent, the interest would be 81 ,152,,
600 per annum. That is what the
people are asked to dig up and pay
out, the most Of it to go. out of the
State and be withdrawn forever from
business and circulation, as lar as
Tennessee is concerned.

The Porter Guards have been so
generous in helping others that COM
plimentary benefit to them is pecu-
liarly fit. The Broom Guards, Cap

charming entertainment, and the
funds realized will be applied to a
worthy object. 1t will be something
out of the usual line, although in the
military line, very happily combining

that there is but one step from the

Concert Last Nlghi.
The concert at the theater, last
night, in the interest of Mrs. Fits
and Miss Pierce, was a decided sue
cess so at least say those who at
tended. The fair benefciar;es exerted
themselves to mako the musical fea-
lures ell, and more, than was ex.
pected, while an appreciative public
attended literally and rendered rich
returns to the treasury. The pro-
gramme, as heretofore printed, was
fully carried out, except in the case of
Miss Hunter, whose absence, it is
stated, was due to indisposition. Mr..
kirkland served as general manager,
while, besides Mrs. Fits and Miss
Pierce, the participants in the exer.
cises were Miss Sallie Brown, Miss
Sophie Houston, Miss Minnie Hannah,
Miss Sallie Woodward, Miss Louise
Smithwick, Miss Arna Hall, Miss
Maggie Karr, Miss Mollie Barrow,
Professor D. G. Lawson, Mr.. George
Handwerker and several Others.

third anniversary in America, and
thirty-ninth in this city, of the Inde-
pendent Order ofOdd Fellows.

Effects Of Goodness.

The recent cool weather has had
the effect Of checking the growth Of
tender and youthful vegetation, in
cluding garden productions. 1t has
also caused fruit to drop from the
trees very literally. Orchards Of this
section are, however, everywhere
heavily laden with young fruit and
can we'll afford to lose more than half
of their burden and still have an
abundance.
In this connection, it may be we'll to
mention that the effects Of the frosts
of the l4th, 18th and 18th inst. upon
young cotton was not Of serious i'm
port. In the valley country lying
along the river to the northward it
was estimated that between three and
FIVE thousand acres Of early planted
cotton had come up and was nipped
and killed.
While this was probably the fact, few
had planted any cotton at all and no.
body as far as heard, lost over 100
acres total. This on large plantations
where from three to say eight
or 800 acres are to be put

The plantation Of J. W, jefferson,

the dust of Dallas from his feet, and
is due in Little Rock tomorrow. He
