Representative Will A. McTeer, of Blount
County, has presented to the Bureau of
Agriculture, Statistics, Mines and Immigra-
ton some specimens of the Tennessee
Pearl" buttons made at the Eagle Button
Factory at Maryville, Blount County, East
Tennessee. The buttons are made of muscle
shells gathered from the various rivers.
Thus they are not only made in East Ten
nessee, but from Tennessee material. The
buttons are pronounced by judges to be of
the very best character, better than those
usually kept in our stores They certainly
look well, having nice pearl lustre. They
have been placed on exhibition in the Bu-
reau cabinet, where all are invited to in
spect them. MIR. McTeer says that the fac
tory now employs eight men, while many
others are engaged at times in gathering
the shells. At present the demand is very
great, fully equal to the capacity of the
factory. Mr.. A. P. Thompson is the man.
ager of the business at Maryville.

Alice Garland's Fate.

The Canadian papers say news from
the Northwest territory is to the follow
ing effect: An old and well'known In
dian, who had just died, before his
death made confession which entirely
cleared up what had been a painful
mystery for full half century. Fifty
years ago Nicholas Garland, a pioneer,
took tract of land situated in what is
now the township of Beckwith, in the
county of Landrk, built cabin en- it,
and proceeded to clear away the dense
forest standing upon the tract. At
that time he had wife and one small
child, very pretty little girl, named
Alice. One day Alice did not return
from the edge of the clearing where
she had been playing with two other
children. An alarm was raised, and all
the woodsmen in the country there
abouts joined in search, which lasted
for many days, but resulted in no clew
to the missing child, and the general
verdict arrived at by the hunters was
that Alice had been carried away and
devoured by one of tae bears with
which the country then abounded.
This conclusion seemed to he corrobo'
rated by the discovery of some clean,
small bones few months afterward ID
deep hollow couple of miles from
Garland's cabin. They were gathered
carefully together and buried by the
father and mother of Alace near their
home. All the people for miles around
attended the funeral, which was the
first ever held in that section by the
whites. The loss of her child and the
terrible strain Of the long suspense
and the CHASTITY discovery subsequently
broke down the strong constitution of
Mrs. Garland, and she died with q
broken heart not long after the funeral.
Mr.. Garland, after his wife's death, be-
came hard and ascetic, never referred
to his trouble, never associated with his
neighbors, and has ever since lived a
hermit in the cabin he first built. This
old Indian who died yesterday, how
ever, says that he saw Alice on that
day, when she was playing with her
companions on the clearing, became
fascinated with her childish beauty,
and carried her away and raised her as
one of his own family When she be-
came manageable she was thoroughly
Indianized, and her abductor managed
to have her married to one of his own
sons. She is now living in Bruce
county, and is mother of large family.
She has never shown that she had any
recollection of her parents or home,
and appears to be happy. The dying
Indian said that so we'll had she
been cared for that he believed no one
could have convinced her of her real
origin, or induced her to change her
lot, and he added that no one but him
self and the son who married her was
ever made acquainted with her history
The story is believed to be true, and
causes u drofound sensation.

Eggs from Different Breeds.

A correspondent of the ohio Farmer
says: "Atter repeated experiments
with the different varieties of fowls,
and comparisons with others who have
experimental in the same direction, l
have concluded that the laying capacity
of the principal varieties is about as
follows:
Light Brahmas and Partridge Coch-
ins-eggs seven to the pound, lay 130
per annum.
Dark Brahmas-eight to the pound,
100 per annum.
Black, White and Buff Cochins eight
to the pound, 1875 per annum.
Plymouth Rocks-eight to the pound,
$50 per annum.
Houdans-same as the Plymouth

Polish-nine to the pound, l25 per
annum.
Bantams sixteen to the pound, 80

Note by our hen-editor: The above
estimate may be a correct average
when the hens attend strictly to bust
ness, but don't you forget it" that their
laying varies considerably from year

A Young Man With Great Future
Reflhre Him.

As YOU are of so numerous class,
and OF such usefulness to the public, a
word or so in your praise would seem
to be in order. You make yourself felt
wherever you go. You spice small par
lor talk, you pepper the lyceum debate
and give zest to the conversation in the
shop, in the street Car, in the family
circle. You have learned the art o!
the kitchen, and you make it warm for
the women of the house at breakfast.
You have perfected yourself in the pro-
fession of news gathering, and you
critically edit the editor as you read
your morning paper You have studied
political science thoroughly, and on
Your way down town you let your
friends know by cutting epigram
what fools such and such statesmen
are. You have gathered privately all
the golden grain of literature, and you
tear even the pulled up Shakspear to
tatters by thrust of your lance. You
have settled the problem of the future,
and the preacher is leveled by a sly
theological slash. But your most
pleasing and powerful accomplishment
is tue sheer. IL Is II piece Vi hOHOh
modesty in mask. 1t plainly lets peo-
pie see that, though you never have
done anything, you have all your lines
laid for any mentionable achievement
of which the object of your sarcasm
has failed Jones, who is innocent but
companionable, tells of glorious sights
seen in the mountains, and you take
him down a button by twist of the
lip. Smiths story, though harmless
is not as classical as one you have in
your mind, and with just a touch of
brass in the ironical lift of your eye
brow, you cut him short, to be contin-
ued in his next You have a great flu
ture before you, and your delightful
sheer may, in time, become the smile
angelic.

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
Money Easy and PIenty-StOck Market
The Railroad Freight War, Etc.

New York, January 4.-The Commercial
Bulletin says; The L. S. Sub-Treasury was,
this morning, debtor at the clearing
house in the large sum Of 81, 36T ,S33, and
in addition 81, ,A900j of bonds included in
the l05th and l06th calls, were presented
for redemption, to-day, so that money is
coming out of the Treasury so freely that
the loan market will soon be out Of the
reach of speculative control, which yeSter-
day established - of per cent per day as
the highest rate, and to-day, 1-16 per cent
The highest rate to-day was made early,
and dwindled 10 1-6i of l per cent little
after two o'clock, and later fell TO plain 8
per cent, which was the closing rate, the
market having been easy at the close.
Share speculation at the opening was
very weak, but it soon became apparent
that while traders were putting out short
sales, larger capitalists and Spectators
were actively but quietly picking up the
stocks. and in the afternoon ii leaked out
that the Vanderbilt family had been taking
m stocks like Lake Shore. Michigan Cen
tral and New York Central, and put
ting them away in their strong
boxes. This was naturally enough con-
strued as meaning that they think the
raj lroad war will not last for ever.
In this connection, we hear that prom
inent manager of one OF Vanderbilts WeS-
tern roads is busy here carrying on nego-
tiations between Vanderbilt and other
trunk-line managers, but there have been
so many slips between cup and lip IN this
matter Of ending the railroad war, that the
public will do well to await the official an
nouncements before accepting as true even
the most creditable reports on appearances.
Another circumstance which set good
many of the old heads 10 thinking, was the
departure for the West Of Jay Gould, ,ostensi-
bly, to inspect the Wabssh system. He has

Special Dispatch 10 The Register.
WASHINGTON, January At is generally
understood that the first regular business
will be the contested election cases. That
from Utah will probably come up first.
Gov. Eli II. Murray, jolly, good fellow,
who was formerly L. 5. Marshal for Ken
lucky, is here, backing up Campbell, to
whom he issued the certificate OF election,
although he only received about one vote
for each 16 OF his opponent. There is no
question of Cannon'S election, and the fact
that he is blessed, or cursed, which ever is
preferred, with four wives, has not hereto
fore proved any obstacle to his holdinga
seat in Congress, and nothing but the claim
that he has never been naturalized, now
prevents him from doing So 1t is now
likely the seat will be declared vacant and
new election ordered.
The friends of ex-senator. Sargent are
now pressing him for the Navy Department,
and bringing every possible influence to
bear to secure his appointment. The fact
is, however, that the recent discussion of
his senatorial record has hurt him in pub
lie estimation, and the President does not
want any one about him against whom
there is aqueStion. Ii is also this which
has hitherto prevented Chandler from get
ting good position, though ii Is possible
he may yet secure place.
The project to make a State out OF Da-

fact is" he continued, Utah is more fit
and better equipped every way than Da-
kota, but shall object to the admission of
any of the Territories as States until the
boundaries Of population become fixed. l
should oppose the admission OF Utah, New

though we would get Democratic Senators

ought to wait until the West

than ordinary intelligence" displayed
their agility as well as their ability in

Tho usually pleasant corridors of the Ne

became aroused and he proceeded to fire

mans upper story. The latter fearing
that somsthing of q more effective charac-
ter wyuld follow, at his idea of the usual
motion on the part of Mr.. Lowry, seized a
small esrthen spittoon and cast it at
the Gsntleman's head, lnfiIctiug
a wound from which the blood flowed
freely. The two had the passage 70 them
selves. Retiring to the drug store Mr..
Lowry enlisted the sympathy Of a Mr.
Smith and a second gentleman, and they
proceeded to demand redress from
Col. Tenncy, the proprietor. The
lie was passed, and Messrs. Smith
and Lowry had light set-to. Fearing his
employer was about to suffer, Charles
Brown, the little elevator boy, attacked
MIR. Lowry, and dealt him blow or two
which brought the blood. Quitea crowd
gathered at the scene and enjoyed the
sport. The elevator lad was laudeda and the
rear attendant exonerated. The scene Of
the first encounter presented the. appear

IRISH SITUATION.
John Bright Oh the Cause Of Irish Dis.
affection.

LONDON. January Right Honorable
John Bright, Chancellor OF the Duchy of
Lancaster and the Right Honorable 10,
seph Chamberlain, President Of the Board
of Trade, spoke at Birmingham yesterday.
The former traced the cause of Irish dis
affection to the long course of tory misrule,
and justified the coercion measures on the
ground of their absolute necessity. lie
pointed out that much of the Irish discon-
tent now arose from miSConception or lg-
norance of English liberality, while Irish
poverty resulted from the driving away OF
English capital.
Chamberlain said the government would
suppress open or covert rebellion, and would
find means to enable the land courts to deal
with the cases coming before them. He
had no sympathy with absentee, agitators
who, from safe distance, counsel others 70
commit crime while they administer the
funds sent from America in q safe retreat
i'm Paris or London. Chamberlain rldi-
culed the landlords demand for compcnSa-
tion. He thought the tenants rather ought
TO be compensated for the excessive rents
extracted from them for many years.
