The Richest Men.

During the last decade thirteen men
have died in Great Britain leaving
property worth more than 81 900, 900.
OF these by far the richest was Baron
l.. n. de Rothschild, who left 92,7OO,-
900. The next largest sum was 91,-

cade ten persons left more than Il,

Silenced Them.

A suggestive scene was witnessed,
not long since, in the corridor of a New
York hotel. Several young men from
the South, who had been long enough
in the city to acquire the address and
manners of dudes" were talking poll
tics.
Their conversation indicated that
they prided themselves on not being
yet reconstructed, and that the pos
sibility of another war between the
North and the South was topic of
agreeable speculation. Several boasts
were made by the young gentleman of
what they would do in the way of fight
ing, should civil war again break
out.
The talk of the youthful Hotspurs
was so loud that it compelled the at
tention of group of gentlemen stand
ing near. One of the group paused in
his conversation and suddenly said to
his friends:
Excuse me, but / think / have a
little.work to do over therel"
Joining the young men, he said, Il
think, gentlemen, from your converse
ton, that you were too young to join
the Confederate army while the late
war was being fought"
The young men assented to this re-
mark, and he continued, "Well, then.
let me tell you that you have been
talking about an event of which you
know little. was there and had all
the fighting that wanted or shall want
for the rest of my life
Who are You, sir?" asked one of the
young men, irritated at the strangers
words.
II am Joseph E. Johnston, sir!" and
he rejoined hts friends. Youths Com.

Partisan Beggars.

There is not block in any street nor
a courtyard, square or carrefour in
Paris that is not the property of beg
gars, writes correspondent from Paris.
Some will come every day before the
rising of the sun to occupy the same re-
lation, and there to remain until night
and gaslight comes to give an. artificial
life to the city. Then they fill the
principal bouleyards until after the
theaters and operas are closed-that is
to say, until after midnight. Others
have their days, even their hours, to
visit certain streets, and they are cum
ming enough not to interfere with each
other in making these unwelcome calls
to the nobility and bourgeoise of Paris.
To be a successful beggar, one must
have some visible infirmity or imped
iment to gaining living; consequently,
all Paris beggars are either crippled,
blind, manned or suffering from hide
Gus sore or cancer affection, which Is
not infrequently assumed or initiated
with no small degree of skill and to our
special loathing. A good many of those
whose infirmities are not of the most
ISDulSlNt CHdTdCbcI NlO HOJ DtS OubilB III.
They pretend to sell pencils, pins,
knives, flowers; they play on hand
organs and other musical instruments
invented to torture the public, go from
house to house singing-heaven help
me, but should have said bowling !
some sort of an air which those Johnny
Crapeaus call musical Each beggar
has his COR her. traditions, his especial
manner of exhibiting his claims on
charity-in fact, the usual mise-en-scene
of the profession. For instance, the
blind-by far the most numerous, i'm
portant and wealthy corporation among
the beggars-almost invariably main
tain rigid immortality, a petriica-
ton which extends even to the dog or
the little child that may accompany
them. Another distinguished feature
of this blind nuisance is that he rarely
addresses any verbal appeal TO the
passerby, but he is very careful that
his placard shall speak for him, and on
this signboard he sometimes takes
flights into the realms of poesy that are
really startling. Often this card APP
peals to the readers sympathy by men
tioning the name of the department or
province from which the beggar has
come.

LOOK UP, NOT DOWN.

Life TO some Is full of sorrow-
Half Il real. half they borrow;
Full Of rocks and full OF lodges,
Corners sharp and iutting edges.
Though the joy-rells may b, rim ring.
No; song yorSil hear them sing .ng:
Seeing n YER makes them Wise,
Looking out from down cast eyes.
All in vain the sun IL shining,
Waters spsrkle. blossoms twning:
They but see through these same Sorrows
Sad to-days ana worse to-morrows:
See the clouds that must pass over;
See the weeds among the clover
Everyt ling and anything
But the gold the spnbcams bring.
Draining from the bitter fountain,
Lol your mole-hill seems me untairl
Drops of dew ana drops of rain
Swell into the mighty main.
All In vain the blessings shower,
Aud the meroies fall with power
Gathering chat, ye tread the wheat,
Rich and royal, meath your feet.
Let Ii not be so. my neighbcr;
Look up as you love aud labor.
No tor one alone woes vials;
Every one has cares and trials.
Joy and care are linked together.
Like the fair and cloudy weather.
May we have. oh, let us pray,
Faith and pat eace for to-day.

Deecher on Lincoln.

al think that Lincoln Was to q re.
markable degree both statesman and
politician; that he based his views oil
expedieney on great principles, but
that in executing expedient objects he
was as shrewd and keen politician as
ever was in Washington. He had a
broad sympathy for human nature and
he understood it very we'll. He was
rs devoid of personal ambition and sell
fishness as any man of whom we have a
record in our history He was man
who wanted to do that which was right
and best for this whole nation, South
and North, and was willing to go as
near to the edge of doubtful expediency
as man could 60 and not 60 over the
precipice; but he saved himself"
Whatever its effect upon the country,
don't you think that his death and its
manner and at the time was q great
thing for him in history?"
"Yes, sir. / think that his coffin was
more than the Presidential chair. 1t
certainly gave to the whole of his career
the influence of kind of political
saintship."
do YOU believe he would have car
ried out different policy from that of
Johnson?'
Il know that Mt the time that things
were drawing to a contamination he
had in an inchoate form the very policy
that johnson undertook to- carry out
under change of circumstances. L
know it, because the Cleveland letter
that / wrote was the result Of con-
ferences with Gov. Andrew and Presi-
dent Lincoln, just preceding Lincoln's
death, as to what were to be the next
coming steps after the breaking down
of the rebellion, and at that time,
under the circumstances, it seemed to
me that they had, on the whole, very
wise views. 1t may be said almost in a
sentence what their policy was. 1t was
to say to the leading public men of the
South: Gentlemen, you took your
section out of the Union; you must
bring it back. We hold you respon-
sible. We will give you all the power
necessary to do it. Slavery is gone,
and, as you went out with these men
who have been defeated, now you must
come back and we will trust you. -

Salt.

Mr.. Thompson, veterinary surgeon
of England, has paid great attention to
salt during the past thirteen years,
having watched the effect of something
like 5000 tons of salt applied to land.
He found on pasture that it had the
power of preventing such diseases
among animals as cripples or rheuma-
tism, red water, fuke, Looping i'll or
scours in calves, etc. Sheep brought
down from the hills to winter in past
IRE bordering on the ocean were much
more healthy than when kept on in
land pastures. Salt destroys snails,
small mollusca and other minute ami
mails; at the same time il so greatly
improves the heritage that stock will
forsake fresh pasture which is along
side of sailed, when able to get on it.

decided to begin the work of replant-
ing the forests in the valley of Mexico.
The contract has been made for plant
ing 1000, 900 trees in four years, at the

statesman-like act, and sure indica-
ton that Mexico is coming forward

The Condition and Advantages Of The
state 80 rs 10 Secure Immigrants.

Through the Nashville American we learn
that the Commissioner of Agriculture, Ststis-
tic., Mines and Immigration, is now Prepar-
ing and will have ready for publication by
Nav the first, "Bulletin Of farms, fsrming
lauds, residences, timbsred mineral lands,
small lots Of lands adj AGENT to Giles or towns,
that are adapted to garden products, water
power adapted 10 milling or manufacturing
purposes, city, town and suburban !ots;'
which he designs for general distribution In
connection with the Handbook Of Tennessee"
throughout the United States, the Canadas,
Great Britain, the German Empire, Austria,
Norway and Sweden. He intends to have
not less than Que fourth Of this, his first "Bul-
lelin," printed in German, aud the remainder
10 the English language, which TACT Will be
approved BY all who favor hardy, thrifty
and Industrious immigration TO our State.
The fee Of 81, charged by the COM
missioner, is very small, for the insertion OF
each tract or lot OF lands, and made SO inten-
tionally, for the purpose Of inviting patron
age from all sources. 1t Will by no means
deffay the expenses incurred by the depart
meut, except by the inducements 1t will offer
to those living in colder and more inhosPlta-
BILE elm ates, aud who are cultivstiug more
uuproiuctive soils, for leaving them and
immigrating to Tennessee. The act creating
the Bureau OF Agriculture etc, leaves II
Discretionary with the commissioners a5 TO
the language IN which he may cause the
books, or pamphlets, emsnating therefrom TO
be published. Heretofore they have been
published only in the English language, but
this being an age Of progress, and the new
commissioner aspiring to success IN whatever
he undertakes, displays good business talents
in selecting the German language, which
will be used in at least one-fonrth OF the
edition, as the best method for reaching the
stocial but thrifty German immigrant. No
advertisement will be recorded for publica-
ton without it is accompanied with the fee
of 81 for each separate parcel, tract or lot OF
land; also his postoffce, number Of his civil
district and county in which the land or
property is located must be written in a
legible hand at the foot OF the advertisement.
The description oil il must be as concise as
the accuracy OF it will admit. The commits
sioner receives from five to forty letters daily
| from parties who wish TO move to Tennessee,
| inquiring in regard to the climatic and asrl-
cultural advantages of Tennessee, and as 10
| the price of farming, mineral and umbered

ADJUSTMENTS.

was given by the Haverly Company last
ight 10 full house, aud made a much more
favorable impression than on it's production
by the Fora troupe. The music, though in.
terspersed with bright and lively numbers, is
more difficult than that OF most comic
operas, and for that reason requires
certain degree of familiarity for lis
full appreciation. TIE Hav.riy Com
pauy also added the advin'age OF
very handsome costumes, a good orchestra
and well-balanced corps of vocalists. 1t
was evident, however, that with the singh
exception OF Miss Dora Wiley, the voices of
the cast were unequal to the call inside upon
them. Her "Vi0letta" was an admirable
personation, and with the chorusss Pustaine
the weight of the vocal score. Ia the first
act she Gang "rbe Silver Line" from Lord
Bateman, SO we'll that il was REDEEM snded.
Drew's voice was entirely Inadequate to the
proper execution of the music allotted him,
and his good aching alone saved 'Spinola"
from dismal failure. The same may be said
of Golden. He can't sing even little bit,
but his "Msrquis" was a delightful pisce of
comedy work, reminding one by its quiet
and 6nish of Frederick LesIis's Duke des
