When the frost is on the punkin,
And the cornstalks yet 10 cut,
The wood-pile short of fodder
The big logs yet to "butt;"
And the horses In the stable
still waiting for their meal,
The pigs and hogs Impatient
Each step they hear, they squeal!
And the cows are whiting sagely,
AS also are the sheep
But the frost Is on the punkin,
And the hired mans asleep.
The turkey-cock is gobbling,
And the guinea's cacklin' loud,
The hens a-hoverin' DER her brood
And the ROSTERS very proud;
The SIMS not III, above the trees;
Not gehick or child Is fed,
The most Is ON the punkin,
And the hired mans abed.
Ills true there's something hearty
In the mornings atmosphere;
OF course we miss the flowers,
For the autumn time is here;
But the airs so appetIzing,
And the haze begins 10 creep,
The frost is on the punkin,
And the hired man 'sasleep..
But why.don't Tom, our hired man,
Arise and feed the swine,
The horses, cows and chickens?
For It's past their breakfast timei
Why don't our servant-man and maid
Arise, earth's beauties to behold?
IT'S because the frost Is on the punkin,
And the weather's getting cold,
The Kitchens cold, the fire Is out,
That room Is without charm,
And Bridget, IL not fast asleep,
Well knows 10 Is not warm ~ 81 q
The bed is warm, without Is cold,
She hates now to attire,
The frost is on the punkin,
And-the boss" may make the fire.
The husky shocks of musfy corn,
Are still waiting in the field
To be relieved OF all their huSks-
Each stack" load Will yield;
But Tommy knows there's work ahead,
Although the summers fied,
The frost is on the punkin,
And Tom is still abed.
When the frost is on the punkln,
And the cornstalks yet to cut,
The wOod-pile's short of "kindlin's"-
No fire within the hut;
The horses, cows, and chickens,
The pigs as well, unfed,
The servant-man and serTant-maid,
Will stay till noon abed.

A Terrible Ordeal.
Peckis Sun.

A woman of Bay City, Mich,
disguised herself as a man and
clerked in store for a year and
then applied for membership in the
knights of Pythias and was initi-
ated. During the work of the
third degree her sex was discov-
cred. 1t seems that in the third
degree they have an India rubber rat
and a celluloid snake, which runs
by clock work inside, and which
were very natural indeed. They
let them run at the candidates to
see if they will finch. When the
snake ran at the girl she kept her
nerve all right, but when the rat
tried to run up her trousers legs she
grabbed her imaginary skirts with
both hands and jumped upon the
refrigerator standing near (Which is
used IN the work of the fourth de-
gree) and screamed bloody murder
The girl is member of the order,
however, and there is no help for it.
The affair may open the eyes of Sc
cret societies and cause them to in
vestigate. One lodge here, we un-
derStand, takes precautions against
the admission of women by care
fully examining the feet of appli-
cants. If the feet are cold enough
to freeze ice cream the candidate is
blackballed. .ss,s~ .. t.... ....s +

Spectators have been enabled to
buy up the bonds of the state at less
than half their nominal value.
The conviction is deeply rooted
in the public conscience that the
larger part of the debt is inequitable
and unjust in its consideration, if
not illegal in its obligation.
By reason of the caIamities of war,
resulting in the loss of half the ma
terial resources of the state, the peo-
pie of Tennessee are Justified" by
good morals and the example of
other free states in looking beyond
the letter of the bonds and paying
in their satisfaction such an amount
as the demands of justice and good
conscience, or sound public policy
may require.
A large majority of the people of
Tennessee have declared that on
grounds of public policy, they will
pay in full the bonds held by Mrs.
James K. Polk, and all bonds held
by educational, literary and chart
table institutions; that they will
pay in discharge of their just obli-
cations what is known to them as
the estate debt proper" in full, less
war interest, and that in compro-
mise of the remainder of the debt
known to them as the railroad
debt" they will pay one-half of the
principal and accrued interest by
issuing therefor bonds of the state,
bearing interest at the rate of 3 per
cent. per annum. Now, therefore

STATE DEBT.

by the Committee.


The state debt committee has
completed and drawn up bill to
settle the state debt. A few ex-
tracts from the lengthy document
wifi give the reader correct idea of
its purport:
A bill to settle the amount of the public
debt of the state, fix the rate of interest
thereon, provide for the funding thereof,
and the compensation of the officers of the
state therefor.
Whereas, a large part of the
bonded Indebtedness of Tennessee
is composed of interest which accu-
mulated during the war between
the states, when the people were
unable and also forbidden to pay
the same.
This illegal war interest was,
under the forms of the law, funded
into six per cent. bonds at a time
when large majority of the citi-
zens of the state were DISTINGUISHED.
Over seven-eighths of the indebt-
edness claimed against the state Of
Tennessee consists of bonds loaned
by the state to railroad companies
on the faith and credit of their prop
erty.
A large part of the railroad
debt" arose out of the calamities of
civil war.
Another large part of said "raH-
road debt" accrued to the state by
reason of faithless management in
recklessiy loaning the bonds of the
state without compliance with the
restrictions and Limitations. -
A large part Of the bonds loaned
by the state to railroad companies
were contrary to law, sold at less
than half their nominal value for
national currency.
No interest, comparatively, has
been paid ON the debt since the
beginning of the war between the
states, but the principal has been
wrongfully and unlawfully in
creased. --za'zs7s1---

as every prisoner has to do every
month under six months imprison-
ment. Under these conditions it
would have been thought that all
would have lost flesh, but curiously
enough that is not so, even in the
cases OF those who it might be sup
posed from their weight were accus-
toned to better food outside, so that
loss of weight cannot be put down to
deprivation of opium.
The heaviest smoker was the
fourth on the list, his daily con-
sumption being 10 mace or $50
grains, he had been an opium
smoker for 30 years, he comes into
gaol weighing 1O7 lbs, does not
loose weight at all, but in three
weeks rises to ITO lbs, at the end Of
the fourth week weighing the same.
1t appears to me that the opium
smoker suffers much less from the
enforced deprivation of the accus-
toned luxury at once than the
tobacco smoker. Many of them
make no complaint at all, there is
no particular symptom caused by the
deprivation, which is common to all.
There is certainly no loss of sleep to
any extent, for l have had many of
them specially watched. Yet ac-
cording to statements made by the
Anti-opium League, they ought to
have suffered tortures, but then it is
the custom Of the Anti-opium
League to repeat and believe all the
yarns they hear, and not to take very
much trouble about verifying them.
Physicians of hospitals at home are
easily misled by patients, where the
watching is at any rate much better
than in any hospital in China, and
yet to read the accounts by the ply
sicians themselves of how they have
been imposed upon for consider
able time by patients is quite suffi-
Gent to show how easily an old
opium smoker could bamboozle a
physician in a China hospital. In
the gaol it also can be done, but it is
not so easy where they are watched
day and night by European warders.
And this is the only gaol in China
that affords such facilities for watch
ing such number of opium smok-
ers.-Hong Kong Daity Press.

AMERICAN MISSES.

leader of French society, has put
her number two-and-a-half foot down
with thump, declaring no more
American misses shall enter the
sacred Partisan fold if she can keep
them out. Anyhow, they shall be
excluded from the best society of
Trouville, the wateringplace watched
over by Madame la Princesse, unless
there are good and sufficient reasons
for the contrary. No ''miss" from
over the Atlantic shall step across
this ''cordon bleu" blood, SO to
speak, unless she is recommended
by two ladies of undoubted rank, if
not of unimpeachable virtue. 1t is
hard on the Daisy Millers, but the
line must be drawn somewhere, say
at Miss Chambe.' Elaine, and an Anne
rican girl who can not find "two
ladies of undoubted rank" for
vouchers doesn't deserve to take the
shine off this venerable Partisan belle
who represents French society.

amount of damage and settle the
bill. Fortunately, the Coloncl's
stock of liquor was low at the time,
so that he only asked $50 in full
satisfaction of all claims.
Shortly after this event a quarrel
arose between lawyer from Ken
lucky, named Beck, and an Indiana
man, by the name of Walker. The
dispute occurred about the dividing
line between their respective claims,
and ended with a duel, in which
Beck lost his life. Colonel Potter
and one of the sailors also fought q
duel, right in front of our tent.
Neither was hurt, and / always had
my doubts about the affair being as
genuine as Beck and Walkers.
At the approach of winter, the
camp broke up and the diggers
sought more congenial climes. The
Harbor Mole Company, too, dis
persed, never again to resume ope-
rations. When last heard from,
Henry Hancock was land agent at
Los Angeles; Fred White was farm
ing in Illinois; Andrew White,
Fred's brother, was robbed and
murdered by the notorious free
booter, Joaquin, about the latter
part of 1851; James Macdonald
disappeared, and [ know not what
became of him; Israel Fisher, who
