Prince Gortsehakoff, who has just
died. was singularlv vain. his idea
being that no one could write bet
ter dispatch, and that he possessed
the fascinating power of the serpent
over the female sex. He had two
sons, and when they were lads he
was under the impression that each
had inherited one of these gifts, for
he used To explain that one of them
was destined to be the terror of
diplomatists and the other of bus
bands. Whenever auy lady with
whom he had been flirting left st.

ask the Prince when she would re-
turn. in order to receive the invari-
able reply, Il cannot say; she is no
longer under the fascinating glance
Of NV ewes. The absurdity OF the
answer was heightened by the fact
that the Prince had saucer eyes, as
dull as those OF a Goldfish, and that
these watery orbs were covered by
spectacles.

4 PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Nashville Ranner


We suppose the Senate hinged
their action of yesterday in order
ing suit by the attorney general
against the last ennesse, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, upon Gov
Bates message, where he declares
that the validity of certain bonds
has been "disputed" Because of the
doubt of this validity, the Senate
seeks out $734, 1000 of a particular
class of these "disputed bonds" the
payment of which to the State it
desires to annul. Would it not be
more consistent and more Just to all
TO open the courts to the whole
SIS, 600, 600, which Gov. Bate says
are disputed, than to pick out only
S734, 600? If there is doubt as to
the legality of the States obliga-
tons, why not test the validity of all
bonds thus in doubt? The fact is,
the State is estopped from any such
action. Former legislatures author
lied the payment by the railroad
of any series of bonds,
and this legislature has recognized
the legality of all Tennessee bonds
by providing for funding those now

DEATH OF JOHN BRO WIN.

John Brown, the wellknown per-
sonal attendant on Queen Victoria,
is dead. His death occurred at Wind
sor Castle, March, %. John Brown
was the SON of a poor Scottish
eotter. He was the favorite body
servant of Prince Albert, andsfre2
quently accompanied him on hunt,
ing excursions to Scotland. He was
deeply attached to the Prince Con-
sort, and il said to have refused to
eat between the death and burial of
his master. The Queens attach
ment to John Brown runs back to
the time when she was the wife of
Prince Albert, with whom Brown
was tavorite; and during all the
years of her widowhood he has been
the especial guardian of her person.
Whether she was at Windsor Castle
or Balmoral, or at any of the other
royal residences, whether she was
in her own kingdom or upon the
Continent, whether she was driving
or walking or sailing, John Brown
was always near at hand. When |
the Queen went out, he would see
that she was properly wrapped uD !;
he would assist her in putting on
her cloak, and if her Majesty shawl
CHANGED to slip, he would see to It's
upon theroyal shoulders.
Any faultfnding of outsiders with
John Brown, any criticism of his
ways, seemed but to increase her
to him; and she did not
scruple to offend any parsonage,
however high, as proof of her pre-
ference for him. 1t would not be
to hear that his grief
over the fall of the Queen, a few
days ago, on the stairs of Windsor
Castle, had something to do with
his death. His devotion to the
Queen was proverbial, and be was
,alled her watchdog. OF late years
he had worried greatly about her
'afety. He was very much troubled
N mind because the lunatic who
hot at her two years ago was not
:aptured by him, but the crowd.
lie saved her from attack on several
occasions, and 1t is probable that
here are few persons whose death
he will more deeply regret than
hat of this consequential but stanch
ervitor.

THE GROWING LNF44Y.


MISERABLE DBAAG0GLSA A
A set of men at Nashville, whose
names We give in group below,
have succeeded in showing that they
are possessed of the above named
quality in n more pre-eminent de-
gree than any like number of men
any where Everybody knows the
name of George Peabody, and what
be has done for the poor children Of
the South and of Tennessee. For
ten years past $4,000 of his boun-
ty have been expended each year in
the education of the children of
Tennessee. 1t was asserted by a
Senator during the discussion that
il was probable that the income from
the millions donated 10 the outhern
States by Mr.. Peabody would con
oentrate at Nashville, Ia establish a
grand Normal school to educate and
qualify teachers 10 take charge OF
the various schools throughout the
Southern States. During his life he
founded and endowedinM arylahdan
institution of learning intended esPe-
ciaIly for the education of the chill
dren of the South Among his en-
dowment investments are 100000
in Tennessee bonds. Relying upon
the gratitude of Tennesseans, no
doubt, he directed in ibis lifetime
that these bonds should not be sold,
expressing the belief that they
would be paid in full. Recently,
however, the legislature of Tennes-
sec was called upon TO say what they
were willing TO do about these Pea
body bonds. According to the spirit
of the act settling the State debt, all
bonds held by similar institutions
in Tennessee are TO be paid dollar
for dollar without discount on eth
er the principal or interest. When
it was proposed to put these bonds
on the same footing the Immortal
thirteen" of the Tennessee Senate
said no we will pay nifty and three!
A man who openly shows ingrat-
itude to a benefactor is always just
ly characterized as bSe. A man
who deliberately destroys the source
of his income is-simply fool. The
man who does both of these in
Legislative capacity, hoping thereby
to ride upon popular wave, is a
pure demagogue. If we knew
nothing of the men who forced this
infamous measure upon the people
of7Tennessee except that they did
this thing, these are the epithets by
which we would describe them
unworthy, ignorant, demagogues
But mark our words These men
do not truly represent Tennessee.
They have had their day, made
their record and now retire to pri-
vate life. The question as to the
100000 of the Peabody bonds is
not settled by their vote. Tho next
General Assembly will hasten to
wipe this foul blot from the escutch-
con of Tennessee. Meantime, we
expect the children of Tennessee
and the Normal institute at Nash
vile to suffer for the next two years |
from the miserable demagOgism
Of the immortal thirteen" who re
fused an honest funding ofan honest
debt because as one of the tribe ex
planned to the Nashville B 4s"er,
the Bate platform did not contem
plate dispensing charities by the
State of Tennessee throughout the
United States =" How true

A VERY RAIR ILLUsTRATTOE

Knoxville Chronicle.
We have a consistent legislature
but its consistency consists in its
consistent and persistent inconsis-
tency. After declaring in favor of
free trade and practically frowning
upon a protective tariff, it has just
passed law exempting from taxa
ton all articles manufactured from
the products of the soil of Tennes-
sect Mark you, we don't complain
of this. But what we want to know
il: what is the difference between
this law and a protective tariff. The
man who manufactures goods from
the products of other States must
pay taxes on them. The man who
manufactures goods from the pro-
ducts of Tennessee pays no taxes on
them. Is not this a protective
tariff? 1t il nothing else. And if
this Is a good law to build mp manu-
features in Tennessee why is 1t not
a good law to build up manufactures
in the United States as against for
eign countries?
