Half a Million Missing.

1t was difficult for us to believe it
when first we heard that Col. Marsh T..
FOLK was defauter to the State in the
sum of nearly half million dollars, but
the facts are truly this way, and he has
left for Mexico, South America, OF
some other country. A resolution has
been offered in the House asking the
Governor to publish a reward Of s2O,.
OOO for the apprehension OF Col Polk
But will his arrest get back any Of the
money? However, he ought to be pun.
ished. But If he has so much money,
the fear comes in that he will not be
punished
otis sin to rob hen-roost Of hen,
But stealing largely makes us gentlemen"
We knew Col Polk, personally, and
we thought he was the very soul Of
honor. Alas how one can be deceived |!
The Nashville World says Gov. Haw-
kins knew Of Folks defalcation and took
no step to prevent further waste Of
public funds, and there is talk Of i'm
peaching him.
So, now we have an empty treasury
only about $4,000 on hand to pay
current expenses of the State for the
coming year.
The World says:
at is a matter of regret to every
Tennessean, that Col. Marshall Tate
Polk, trusted and popular official of
this State, has so far yielded to the man
fold temptations that beset his path as
to squander over half n million Of the
public money and thereby throw a dark
cloud Of disgrace over name that is
honored and respected throughout the
Union. 1t is sad to think of the hight
from which he has fallen, of the bright
and cheerful and happy family that he
has wrapt in the gloom Of disgrace, and
the friend that he has betrayed and
chagrined by wild, dissipated and
reckless crime.
"In the latter part of his boyhood he
was an inmate Of the Presidents man
sion at Washington, beloved and trust.
ed nephew Of its occupant. James X.
Polk. At West Point he was educated,
and in the same class with Gen. Han
cock. At the battle of Belmont, where
Grant met his local first defeat, he lost
leg under the flag Of the Confederacy,
and in the command Of his kinsman, the
warrior bishop. 1t is impossible in this
country or in any other to name man
who had rarer advantages and more
honorable connections. lie has been a
favorite of Fortune and along his
pathway she has strewn her choicest
flowers. Notwithstanding all these IA
voring circumstances and rearing and
training and living he has deliberately
robbed the hard working and toillng
people of his native State of more than
a half a million of money. There is no
excuse that can be offered for him and
absolutely nothing can be said in expla-
nation of his conduct. He is to-day q
fugitive from a State and Il people who
have honored him and his family in the
most extraordinary manner"

70 MY TWO CATS.


nave TWO cats and one Is white
As Is new-fallen snow;
The other one, upon my word,
Is black as any crow.
IT'S not because they catch the mice,
Or sometimes catch big rats,
But It's the color OF them both
That makes me love my cats
The colors represent, you see,
Some elements in life -
For instance, now--the white Is Peace,
The black is Hate and Strife
The white is Love, an emblem iuir
OF all that lie is worth =
If Love could rule 'twould make, indeed,
A paradise Of earth.
The black Is Hate and darl, Design,
And Broken Vows of Love,
Which bring TO mind the Arab stone
That came down from Above.
And when descended, white as snow,
But now as black as ink,
Yet still the Arabs worship it
(Most foolishly, l think.)@
Twas sin Of man that made it black
As one Of my good cats,
For one il black-the other white
But both are good for-rats.
Their color does no difference make,
Except to outward gaze;
They both catch mice, and rats as we'll,
And both shall have my praise.
Therefore judge that outward show
in either Church or State
Is not an evidence to me
About our Final fate.
This cat Of mine that is 30 black
Is just as good for mice
As is the white one that love
AS frolicksomc and nice.
So, do not judge by outward show
About the heart within;
And do not think that all in Church
Are therefore free from sin.
They may 60 through the litany--
May say their prayers at night
Yet not az honest as my cats,
The black one and the white.
My cats, | know, by Natures laws,
Do practice some deceit,
No Revelation yet they've had
With them Ills "bread and meat
They watch for mice and watch for rats
Are very sly, indeed;
And sometimes do, must admit,
Show very much of greed.
But they have souls-ndeed they have
Pythasoras was right
And well love these cats of mine
The black one and the white.
They re not as bad as human kind,
But oft are led astray,
Like men and women nowadays
In sweet Temptations way.
Led off by passions wild and strong
Yet Love makes all things right
Unto the one who acts just like
Ny black cat and my white.
." In the city of Mecca was temple, or
place OF supreme sanctity. Within this tenn
pie was a stone which was the peculiar Object
Of generation and was said to have descended
from Heaven, in those days of innocenc,
when man was free from guilt as he came
from the hands of the Creator. The stone
was then white, but gradually became sullied
as man became more wicked, until at last il
grew entirely black" as fear virtue becomes
in these times by mingling too much with thu
fashionable follies ofthc day.

those were the same principles we were
working for, and that it was his duty
to assist us in the good work, in which
he acquiesced, and ordered the Re

renewed our meandering through the

And we at once proceeded with peril

being absent from the farm, putting up
fine tWO-StOry residence for Matt. Bry-

emigrated to Dickinson county six years
ago from Franklin county, Pa, pur-
chashing the farm upon which they
live. For several years Mr.. q. felt
quite discouraged, but is now beginning
to think that Dickinson county is not
any worse than Pennsylvania with its
drouths and drawbacks. Being invited
to put up for the night, and as the
gloomy shades of evening had begun to
appear, we accepted. After putting up
and caring for our horse, we proceeded
to the house and sat down to splendid
meal prepared by Mrs. G. and her beau
tiful daughter, Carrie. After the fes-
tive board was cleared we gathered
around the family hearth and spent a
pleasant evening in conversation. At

in the arms of Morpheus until the bright

departure, after extending our best
