The following rules are common
place enough, but we can assure oul
readers that if they will observe
every one OF the rules, they will be
anything but commonplace men
and women:
Don't stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.
If you have place OF business,

and also prOmptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you
know nothing OF.
Pay as you 20.

you cannot afford to, simply be-
cause it is fashionable TO gia-e.
Learn tO.think and act for your
self

Careless of Money.
Arkansaw Traveller.

A party of men stood on a street
Corner watching an old leather
pOcket-bOOk that lay on the side
walk. The men were waiting to
see some one come along and pick
it up and throw it down again. A
drummer smiled when he saw it,
stopped and joined the crowd.
"Here comes an old negro" said
the drummer. I'VE Will have
some fun"
The old negro stopped, and look
ed around and said:
"Peers dat some generman hab
los his pOcket-bOok."
No one replied. "Well," said
the old man, "es no pusson peers
ter own hit, blebe III take hit my
SELF"
The men began to smile. The
old fellow took up the pocket book,
opened it and took out two twenty
dollar gold pieces while the gentle
men, instead OF laughing, stared in
"Wall, fore de Lawd! 7" exclaIm-
ed the negro, putting the money
into his pocket. Folks in dis town

Tennessee Day at New Orleans.
Nashville Aunarinun

We heartily agree with Commits
siuner McWhirter in the timely
suggestion that it would be emf
nently proper that the Legislature
of Tennessee visit in a body the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition at New Orleans
on january 8, 1885. A Tennesseean
commanded, and Tennesseeans
achieved a victory unexcelled in
warfare upon that day III years ago
in sight of the city of New Orleans;
therefore he thinks this should, of
all other days in the year, be set
apart as Tennessee day. The Mex
lean veterans of the Volunteer
State, and the survivors of any OF
the battles i'm which Old Hickory
was IA commander, would form an
appropriate part of Tennessee
delegation to New Orleans on that
day. There has ever been the clO-
course between Tennessee and
Louisiana. and before the era of
railways New Orleans was Tennes-
sees commercial emporium. The
people of no other two sister States
are closely identified, and the pres
ence on the anniversary Of the bat
tie OF New Orleans of the descen-
dants of the Tennesseeans who
fought under Jackson in defending
that city from the foreign invader
would be "A memorable event, elO-
quently signalizing that peace hath
her victories no less renowned than
those OF war.

Jesse James Blood.

Sir James Morrisey, the theatric-
al agent, says the Philadelphia
Times, stood yesterday in a group
of newspaper men in his hand n
blood stained splinter from a pine
board.
"That," said he, sis covered with
the blood OF Jesse James. Thi.
piece Of wood is from the plank in
the floor where the notorious out
laws head struck when he was
slain by the Ford boys at st. Joseph,
Mo. was In st. Joseph shortly
after James assassination, and like
every one else that went there, visi-
ted the house where Jesse met his
death-the house which stands on
the summit Of big bluff and is
owned by an old widow woman.
The number OF visitors to the place
was so great that she began charg-
ing them twenty-five cents to enter
the place and fifty cents for cutting
a splinter out OF the floor. This i
how | came into possession OF this.
1t Was not long until the entire pOr
ton of flOor where the bandit fell

Referring to the steady falling
off OF the democratic majority in
Tennessee ind the causes which
have obtained to bring the organic
zatIon into growing disfavor with
the public, the Memphis Avalanche
says
Neither the protection issue nor
the railway commission question
has wrought this result, nor have
both together. 1t is by no means
personal to Gen. Bate. II is simply
the unfortunate wild war hoop
element in control, assuming all
leadership and direction, and dis
gushing all thinking men. That
leadership has been as shallow,
silly and absurd in all its sugges.
lions as to aud discussions Of public
questions as it was possible 10 be.
Even the really able men connec-
ted with the rule of the past two
years have not been able to control
their comrades or give them sense.
The ability of Mr.. Vertrees is be-
yond question OF high order, and
yet he has not been able TO impart
any Of his capacity to those with
whom he has been aligned.
They have discussed every public
question from the narrOwest party
standpoint and appealed to a low
party SentimentaliSn, rs disgusting
as it has proved Ineffective and
positively hurtful. 1t is always the
cry to ''the brethren, "good demo-
Gratis" and such tOmfOOlery, instead
of the plain, commOn-sense appeal
of men to ii common interest in a
cOmmon-cause, with the public in
terest plainly aud clearly set out.
This must be reformed if this every
time-cut-in-twO is to be stopped.
There must be new and better
leadership and more attention 10
public.issues from public stand
point broader than that OF a narrow
ring Of small politicians, with
naught but wholesale abuse of OPP
pOnents and wholesale praise of
friends. Let the party building of
itself follow devotion of public
interests and it will build itself
strong again.

Not for many years has the vote
of New York State and New York
city been studied as closely as it has
been since last Wednesday morn
ing, when the returns then indica-
ted that the majority given the

The Great Fraud.
Boston Post
Boston Post.

We mean Ben Butler, the man
OF crooked ways and distorted
mind". Yesterday he appeared in
hiI favorite role OF the "TraitOr
and Fraud" and made what we
suppose his Republican friends
will call a success. He prevented
Massachusetts from giving its cleo
lorial vote to Cleveland and Hen
bricks, but II was narrow squeak
for him. He has earned the hatred
of thousands OF men who stood by
him last year and the year before.
not one of whom would ever again
vote for him, even for the high of
flee of hog reeve. But it il doubt
full IL he earned the fee which il is
alleged Steve Elkins paid him for
his treachery.

PetersOn's Magazine.

Peterson's Magizene for Decem-
Der comes to US ahead OF all others,
perfect marvel of beauty. There
are more thansa hundred pages of
reading matter; two superb steel
plates; eofored pattern. costlier
even than chrome; cOlOred FASH
ion, double size, printed from steel;
and more than half hundred
WoOd-cuts OF fashions, work table
patterns, etc., etc. The stories are
exceptionally goot: though ''Peter-
son" always has the very best. Ii
is standing wonder to us how this
magazine can be furnished at its low
price it can only be explained by
the enormous circulation which Pc
terson has had now for more than
thirty years. We really suppose
there are few families, al all pretend
ing to refinement, in which this
magazine is not to be found. Il
claims, and not undeservedly, to
give more for the mOney-and of d
better quality-than any other.
The December number ends the
year. Now, therefore, is the time
to subscribe for 1885, or 10 get up
clubs. We advise our fair readers
to subscribe for no magazine till
they have seen copy of this.
Specimens are sent gratis, if writ
ten for in good faith The price is
but Two DOLLARS year to sim
gle subscriber. To clubs, it is
cheaper still, viz: -Four copies for
six dollars and half, with an ex
ira copy OF the magazine as a pre-
MUM to the person getting up the
club. Or five copies for eight dol
lars, with both an extra copy of the
magazine for getting up the club,
and also superb illustrated book
OF American poets, called 1.-The
Pearl of Price, or large-size steel
engraving, for framing, "The Lion
in Love-" No other magazine giUes
such costly premiums. For larger
clubs, the price is still lower, while
even more premiums are given.

is the wife OF John Mccullough, the
tragedian. They have been living
apart for years, though he contrib
uies literally to her support. Why
they separated is their affair, and
perhaps no other PERSONS business.
She is a good woman, if she is COM

he was unknown and poor, and she
was what she still is, simple
hearted woman of that part of the
city That we call Fishtown. He

Drop Politics Now.
Jackson dispatch,

Another presidential campaign is
now over. For weeks business has
been almost at standstill and
every body has been talking, eating
and sleeping i'm the midst of poll
tics. The election is now over and
1t Is time for business to resume its
wOnted activity. We can not live
on politics and the election of any
man or set Of men will not furnish
bread and clothes for the people of
the United States. We have done
our duty to ourselves and to our
country and have accomplished
all the good that we can do, if we
voted our honest sentiments last
Tuesday and now that is settled, let
us each and every one return to
our business with renewed energy
and zeal. Let the wheels of com
merce aud progress move on and
everybody to their post of duty.
