NEWS AND NOTES.

Men with surplus capital cannot
do better stroke of business than
by investing in land in good locali-
ties in the South. As with Adam
and Eve, when "the world was all
before them where to choose" the
South is invitingly before the great
and small capitalists, saying, if any
thing material has tongue, right here
put in your money, and interest,
many fold, will come out in the tu-
ture days. 1t matters little where
the investment be made, the whole
South is waking up. A steady
stream, not large but regular, Of
workers and capitalists, is contin-
ually flowing to our growing cities
and unoccupied lands. This stream
will increase every year. The south
ern resources are, perhaps, better
understood "up North" than they
are "down South"

Cows wandering at their own
sweet will through villages and
small country towns, are not objec-
tlenable from an artistic or a util-
ltarlan point of view; cropping the
grass along the roadways, or pulling
at the climbing greenery over gar
den fencing, "lends enehantment to
the view" But the itinerant COW
among the horse cars, wagons, car
rlages, and pedestrians of thriving
city, with no business to call her
forth other than that of picking up
garbage, and straw from the pack
ages opposite stores, is neither a
pleasing nor a wise arrangement.
The capital city of Nashville has not
yet been able to Danish stray COWS
from its streets, while, at this end
of the State, Chattanooga is overrun
by peripatetic animals. Both cities
are making vigorous efforts to abate
the nuisance, and put on more met
rODolitan manners.

The elements-wind, water and
fre-have commepced the year with
vigor- All around us, but touching
-SsS H., ,sis~Sslr vantage ground of the
Plateau, floods and winds have swept
destruction. No water can harm
us up here, should the doors Of
heaven be opened for forty days and
forty nights. Wind has roughly
played around the walls of the Pla-
teau, carrying dismay and ruin along
the valleys. Its force is beaten and
broken, however, by the seven or
eight hundred feet of escarpment
holding us above the cyclone paths.
Fire, last week, was running the
forests and turpentine orchards of
South Carolina, and raging for days
over seven counties, destroying farm
houses, buildings, fences and all
things burnable. Again we stand
untouched, fire not being dreaded in
our forests, as an unmasterable
foe.

Snow is still on the ground in the
North, the winter only slowly show
ing signs of making way for spring.
Visitors among us tell how last week
they left ice and frost and snow, and
rubbers and overcoats, to find on
our Plateau the balmy air and bright
skies of spring, with snow a thing of
six weeks ago. We have had for
the Cumberland tablelands a long
and hard season, testified to, by the
oldest dwellers, as one of unprece-
dented severity, and that we may
see generation before such another
falls to us. The mean of twenty
years for Tennessee generally, shows
but an average fall of eight inches
Of snow.

The hour of the base ball player
is coming. The clubs and their ap-
pointments are watched with a min
uteness accorded to no other social
event. AS with the English devotee
of the cricket bat, the American
fanatic of the base ball sees little in
summer life but the tented field of
peaceful rivalry. There is a sound
throughout the land of busy prepa-
ration. The batsman, the pitcher
and the umpire, through the dead
season, has each "fought all his bat
ties Ger again." "Thrice" too she
routed all his foes, and thrice he
slew the slain" 1t is a fine game,
in spite of the undercurrents, and
holds the life of a people together
with all the power of a national
song.

The Pail Mall Gazette, a promi-
nent London paper, urges the Gov
ernment to hesitate no longer as to
its course in Egypt, which, it says,
is plain, and is hourly being endor-
Sed by the thoughtful amoug all
classes. England must undertake
the conduct of everything affecting
the administration of Egypt, great
as the burden will be. This will
probably be the order that will
come cut of the present anarchy.
The late contests have but scotched,
not killed, the snake. A protecto-
rate over Egypt, however, is said to
be not within the plans of the Lib
eral Ministry.

The annual readjustment of the
salaries of postmasters for the next
fiscal year has commenced. The
number to be overhauled is 2,4O5.
The Department is also about to ex-
anime the claims of postmasters for
the readjustmenJ of their salaries
between the years 1864 and 1874,
in accordance with a recent act.
There are many thousands of claims
covering periods of from one to ten
years, and postal officials say the
enormoussum of $5O,0OO,OO0 will be
required to pay them. If readjust-
ment of claims and grievances is to
be undertaken all round, the surplus
money in Uncle Sans pocket book
will not only be useful, but none too
much.
