NEWS AND NOTES.

The Board of Aid is not dead, it
is only sleeping. 1t is not strictly
that, either; as. when intently
watched, the limbs are seen to be
quite actively employed in preparing
the ground for the occupation of
those it intends to put upon it. 1t
is one of the many lively corpses
that are about in the land. If it
does not show to the outside world
a great deal of work, we can assure
our readers, it is endowed with a
marvellous thinking capacity. 1t
is is honest, tee, which is is a very j. -grsat great t
thing; it has also been unfortunate,
which is another very great thing.
Its honesty and steady energy, how
ever, will make the crooked places
smooth; of that there is no doubt.
The period of Information is nearly
over, and the year we are in must
be the most promising Of Rugby's
history.

Active preparations are being
made to relieve General Gordon
and Khartoum. The number of
men will be about 10000, with forty
steam launches, 400 shallow-draught
boats and several thousand camels.
1t is not expected the expedition
will reach Khartoum before Sep
tember. By that time if Ell Mahdi
be a genius of the Napoleonic stamp,
or a Mahometan bolt especially
forged for the inidel dogs, Gordon,
if not hanged, may lead to a march
to the equator.

1t is not the big manufacturer
that is to be particularly envied, his
humber and less monied brother
who runs a small manufactory of
some necessary domestic article, is,
in a thousand instances, better off,
and with less anxiety. 1t is the
same with farms and farmers; the
big cultivators Of England and
Scotland, and of this country, are
not to be envied by the man who
looks at things Alright, whereas there
are no more happy and contented
people, with better cultivated acres,
than those forming the large ma
jority of the small farmers of Bel
GUM and France. They rarely
emigrate.
Upon the Cumberland Plateau a
man who wants a farm can have
one, and almost for the asking, so
cheap is land compared with its
price in Europe. The small manu-
facturer, too, with some knowledge
Of the uses of wood, can find among
us abundance OF material, and near
markets ready to take everything he
can make.

If half as much was heard of the
resources of East Tennessee outside
the State as we hear of within our
borders, surely the tide of immi-
grafton would more rapidly flow
this way. What we have not to
offer the capitalist or the home
seeker, as inducements to try our
country, would be a little hard to
define. We have a climate second
to none, a soil as diversified as any
farmer or specialist could desire,
with timber for the most varied
manufactures, and an inexhaustible
wealth of coal, iron and limestone.
For marble we are famous, while OF
zinc and other valuable deposits our
hills and valleys are full. Oul
means of communication with the
worlds markets are of the first-rate
both railway and water. Every
thing, however, is only partially
developed, some industries barely
touched, but enough has been done
and is doing, to give a solid guar
antee of the coming greatness O.
East Tennessee.

1t is said of Scotchmen that when
once they go south of the Tweed
they never recross the river, at least
not until they have feeced the
southerner. Much the same may
be said of the emigrant from the
Old World; of the millions who
come over here but very few return
to the other side of the ocean. One
day last week, however, the City of
Rome took back 245 Steerage pas
senyerS, the largest number, it is
said, that ever left New York on
one vessel.

Among the productions Of the
plateau may very prominently be
named fruits, Of nearly every kind,
too. Ten acres put out in apples
alone, taking one year with another,
will one day be as valuable as an
orange grove. with not half the risk
or uncertainty. Grapes find here a
soil that is native to them, and if a
fruit can make appeals to the
avarice of man, the vine is ever
mutely saying See what am trying
to do unassisted by the skill and
experience of the vine dresser.

The arithmetic of the hour con-
sists of addition and subtraction,
upon the slate of the coming Chicago
Conventions. Tennessee is to 90

says the delegation will give Arthur

Each State is adding up its list,
and the more learned in all the

cooking the accounts.

The New York panic among the

week gave the money market Of the
country a lively shake up, has
quieted down to a country bank here
and there going to the wall. There
has been no general financial disas-

gambling and overspeculating bro
kers. The sharp drastic will un-
doubtedly reduce the high fever of
