FROM Friday,a KNOWING Parers.

From Fridays Knoxville Papers.
Andy Taylor, the notorious criminal
sentenced to be executed at Loudon to-
day for the murder of Sheriff Cate and
deputy Conway, of Hailten county, was
conveyed on yesterdays noon train to
the scene of execution in custody of
Sheriff Feute and deputy, U S.. Mar
shall Vest and Policeman Fitzgerald, of
Chattanooga.
Before leaving Knoxville, the prison
er requested Sheriff Gilmore tn present
him with a neat suit of clothes in which
to be executed. The sheriff selected a
suit which pleased the prisoner and
Taylor expressed thanks for this and
other acts of kindness to which he was
indebted to the sheriff.
Taylor slept soundly the night before
and ate heartily yesterday morning
but showed evidences of breaking down
later, when the officers arrived at the
Jail to convey him to the train. He
wrote his farewell letter Yesterday
morning to his brosher-in-law and 9th.
er relatives, and left it in the hands of
Sheriff Gilmore, with request to de-
liver it.
On leaving the prison, he babe his
cell mates farewell, but visited no other
cell. His suppressed emotion was evil
dent to all about the Jail, when the mo-
ment came for parting with prison Gem
panions. He trembled visibly from
head to foot, but feigned an air of IN
difference as he moved out of the Jail.
An immense crowd congregated about
the depot to get glimpse of the noto-
rious young criminal
At the Akin House barber shop he
was shaved, announcing to the crowd
in slang parlance, "I'm now gettin'
ready for the racket" Having COM
pleted his tonsorial makeup, he asked
to visit the bSr-roOm, where he swal-
lowed the contents of two glasses of
wine. As he prepared to drink the
last, he held the glass mp to the crowd,
saying, "boys, here's what got me
where am; it will always do it if you
stick to it ~ .aa 80 T. .e 80
The prisoner. appears quite nervous
and watches closely the movements of
crowds about him-evidently having a
remaining hope that by a mob or some
unforeseen accident he may have a
chance of escape. Before leaving he
expressed the hope that the train might
be wrecked before reaching Loudon.
Andy Taylor has boyish face. He
is freckled and slightly marked by the
smallpox. A few stray hairs protrude
here and there from his chin and upper
lip, clearly showing that a razor has
but seldom crossed his face. Short,
light hair adorns the top of his Uranium
and his whole face lights up with an in
telligent expression when he talks. His
teeth are small and even and are plain
ly visible when he laughs. Though but

THORN HILL DOTS.

THORN HILL, Tenn, Nov. %, 'S3.
To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
The farmers in this section are very
busy gathering corn. They report the
crop short-fully One-third.
Capt. J. N. Turnmire, who lives
about 212 miles west of here, has dis
covered a very rich silver mine on his
farm. The vein is some four hundred
feet wide, and as to its depth it Is yet
unknown. Mr.. Turnmire has some of
the metal that has been separated from
the ore and it resembles that of silver
very much. He anticipates going TO
Knoxville very soon and having some
OF the ore smelted-or rather an assay
made of the metal,
There has been sold and shipped from
this neighborhoOd, in the last two
weeks, about 900 bushels OF green
apples, mostly Of the limbertwig varie-
ty. The price paid for them per bushel,
RUIZ from forty to fifty cents. Still we
have plenty of apples left for home con-
sumption.
A great many persons killed their
hogs during the recent cold spell. Some
few lots of good hogs for sale-but, as
cousin Spence Jarnagin has failed to
make his appearance in our midst this
season, the superstition is they will be
slaughtered at home.
The large distillery owned by Messrs.
Rhea q Monroe, which for some time
has been in operation, will N a few
days suspend operation until next
March. This firm has about nine hun

sale at reasonable figures. They claim

bernn Cor. London Telegraph
How far the duel is not only winked at but
absolutely enforced in Germany is perhaps
scarcely known to the majority of your Eng
lish readers, and yet it is a fact which n resi-.
dence in the country or n perusal of the daily
papers will scarcely fail to reveal. Within
the last few days two duels hnve been re-
ported in the German press. In one case, at
Wurzburg, one of the two students concerned
was shot dead on the spot; the other fled. ~
A duellist apparently finds it a more simple
matter to escape the arm Of justice than the
common murderer.
When any German officer Is challenged the
question goes before the court of honor of
his regiment, composed generally of the
senior members OF each commissioned rank
of the service. If it is decided that the in
suit is real, fight he must or leave the service.
Skilled or unskilled in the use of arms, II
matters not. True, the decisions of the said
court form some kind of protection against
the attacks of mere d~uelling bullies, upon
whose heads their challenges may recoil with
dangerous severity; but the value Of indi-
vidual lives, the contingencies of the contest
or any such considerations are, of course,
utterly unregarded. Every man for himself.
And the result-if two workingmen were
TO quarrel, and one in the hot blood of the
momentary struggle struck the other on the
head with the Implement in his hand, it
would be well for him if he escaped with his
life. But if an officer, in cold blood, shoots
another dead, he is punished with a term Of
"Festungs Gefangniss"-that is to say,
he has to retire for perhaps a year to some
fortress where he is subjected to so mild q
form of Imprisonment that he is scarcely in
convenienced, and then returns to his regi-
ment without the slightest mortal faint on his
character-nay, he has indicated his
honor as q man and a soldier.

A Point He Had Overlooked.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
81 remember" said Mr.. Zerbe, the we'll
known patent attorney, speaking OF eccentric
inventors, "a man who came here from Wis
consin with an automatic mattress and COW
er-adjuster. He was extremely confident of
success, and had held letters patent on the
arrangement for six months. His model was
a perfect little beauty and worked ike q
charm. He sat it on the table, and used a
corncob in lieu OF the human occupant. You
see,' said he, smiling, when a person wishes
to retire he just piles into bed, a portion of the
mattress sinks, the sides and a suitable foot
rest close over him, and there he is, snug as e
bug in a rug, without the worry and trouble
of fixing the 'kivers.' AS / before remarked,
it worked like a charm The corncob would
roll into its little bed and fix the kivers' as

brought his right hand down on his thigh he
blurted out: 'D-n me If l ever thought of

MUSIC ON TAP.
Hands Supplied at n Moments's No.
tice---The Wages Which Profess
sfonal Musicians Get.


Philadelphia Times.
Among the reputable musicians the head
quarters of the Musical society fonn a sort Of
an exchange for the employment of talent.
There the managers of balls and of theatres
and those who desire to employ sweet music
In diverting and enlivening their guests can
engage performers Of all grades, from the
maestro who can play first fiddle or first cor
net to the youth who intelligently jingles the
the cymbals or the genius who belabors the
big drum. Wages are fixed by a schedule, in
which first violins are allowed IS a day OIL
ordinary occasions and 81 for concerts. A
good first cornet-player gets IS a day and is
always in demand. II he attains to reputation
as a solotst he can command as high as $40 or
$40 a dAv on great occasions; generally, how
ever, he = mot expect to make more than
$50 a week.
The men who engineer the trombone and
TIE tuba, Notwithstanding the lung power
that those instruments demand, are not quite
- well paid, and no matter how skillful they
may be, there is a general prejudice that bars
them out as ~soloistz. Hence, II they are
steadily engaged, as generally happens in the
summer season, their wages seldom exceed
$50 a week. For manipulating the big drum,
which involves considerable muscular exer.
ton and is sometimes combined with the
operation of the cymbals, the pay is from 50 to
81 a day, according to merit and extent of ex-
pef1ence. AdTummer is always a determined
and energetic man, the trouble being with
many leaders to control his exubernnce and
to prevent him from literally overwhelming
the other Instruments. The same care must
he taken to mitigate the energy Of the tuba
and trombone operators, who are given at
moment of excitement to blasts Of harmony
that are calculated to throw the treble instru-
ments altogether out of the harmony. These
performers get about 50 a day, as do the
lower grades OF violinists who play second
fiddle.
There are about a dozen musical leaders in
the city who stand ready at q moment's
notice TO supply music for any occasion, from
a ball or a concert to a funeral They keep
their force of performers well in hand and
are always ready to organize u band or an
orchestra of any desired size. They make
their own terms with performers Subject, of
course, to the society's schedule, which is
always strictly adhered to- and generally
themselves. Most Of the professional must
clans in this city are Germans, but there are
some Frenchmen and a few Italians and now
and then, but rarely, an American or an
English professional. Some of them are
musicians Of the first clnss and always com
mand engagements at good salaries, but the
greet majority are dependent upon the lead
ers and do not get very steady work. The
orchestra performers in theatres have steady
and generally well-paid positions, but those
professionals who depend upon transient en-
gngements sometimes fall short, so far as
their incomes are concerned, in the early part
OF the winter season, when the ball season
has not fairly opened.
