Lamb. Just like nothing that ever
appeared before them, or has since
appeared, are the quaint and delight
full Essays of Ella" a new edition of
which has recently been issued by AL
den, "The Literary Revolution"
publisher of New York. Turn to any
ofyour cyclopedias and they will tell
you that Charles Lamb was one of
the most charming essayists that the
English language has ever known,
and also that his Essays of Ella" are
the choicest of his works. They are
not merely the first work of their
class, but, like "Pilgrim's Progress"
and Robinson Crusoe," they cOnsti-
tute a class by themselves. The vol
ume is certainly one of the most de-
lightful of the books described in Mr..
Alden's 14S-page illustrated catalogue
which he offers to send for cents, or
the 16-page catalogue sent free. Ad-
dress, John B. Alden, Publisher, New

election shows the drift in the East,
and from every section we see new
men, vigorous thinkers, with pro-
gressive ideas, men fully abreast of
the times, coming into both branch
es of Congress. Virginia not to be
left in the race for fame ond substan-
tial progress will send the brilliant
young statesman John w. Daniel to
the Senate as the successor of VIM.
Malone. Daniel is both statesman
and orator. He has been defeated for
Congress, for Governor and for the
Senate, and fate seemed to be for a
time against him, but defeat never
weakens a man of strong points, and
now the tide has turned in his favor.
Daniel was elected to Congress at the
last election, but Virginia wants her
best brain to the front and so she will
advance him to the Senate. Success
which grows out of defeat is usually
well founded in merit and it is likely
to endure. Daniel will do homer to
"the mother of Presidents" in either
branch of Congress.

The Library Magazine.

Alden's LIBRARY MAGAZINE is
quite the peer of the great 81 month
lies, in the amount and high quality
of the literature which it presents,
though its cost is only the nominal
sum of $3.50 year. Among the con-
tents in the current number are arti-
Giles by such noted authors as Canon
Farrer, Max Muller, the Bishop of
Carlisle, Cardinal Newman, Phillip
Schaff, and others. This magazine
ought to have a circulation of hun
dred thousand. You can get speci-
men from the publisher, John b. Al
den, New York, for the price 10 cents.

A Mothers Work.

Many discouraged mother folds
her tired hands at night, and feels as
if she had, after all, done nothing,
although she had not spent an idle
moment since she rose. Is it nothing
that your little, helpness children
have had one to come to with all
their childish griefs and joys? Is it
nothing that your husband feels safe
when he is away to his business be-
cause your careful hand directs every
thing at home? Is it nothing when
his business is over that he has the
blessed refuge of a home which you
have that day done your best to
brighten and refine? o weary and
faithful mother! you little know your
power when you say, 81 have done
nothing" There is a book in which
a fairer record than this is written
over against your name.

A Bad Accident.
Tullahoma Guardian.

TullahOma Guardian.
On Thursday night last Mr.. f. Cor
zelius went on the train to see a friend
and while talking with him the train
pulled out. AS soon as Mr.. Cornelius
felt the train moving he made for the
platform and jumped off just where
the road crosses Lincoln street, falling
on his shoulder and head. His arm
was broken and his head badly bruis-
ed up. No one seeing him he had to
get to the hotel as best he could, which
he was just able to do, fainting as he
got inside the door. DIR. Phillips was
called in Immediately and bound up
his wounds. We understand the
fracture is a bad one and will be some
time in healing.

net officers in the line of succession
to the Presidency in case of the death
Of both the President and Vice Presi-
dent.
In the House of Representatives
the important question now is a re-
vision of the rules, and as the Speaker
will not even announce the arrange
ment of standing committees until
the matter of rules is settled, no real
work need be expected from that
body for some time.
Mr.. Carlisle is engaged with his
troublesome duty of committee MAX
ing. Much of the time he is closeted
with some of his trusted friends, and
they talk the matter over and over
again. Members write notes to him
asking to be placed on this or that
committee, where they think they
will FIND the most congenial work.
1t is probable that a revolution in
the business methods of the House
will be adopted during this week,
and that the plan will be that pro-
posed by Mr., Morrison, the author of
the horizontal tariff bill of last ses-
sion. The House began to discuss
his proposition today. 1t provides
for a distribution of the work of the
Appropriations committee. This OBJ
ject will not be accomplished without
a sharp contest. The struggle will
not be in the nature ola party con-
tiict, however, but between those who
think that the plan will facilitate
business and those who think it will
result in increased expenditures to
make such changes at this time.
The President naturally feels much
gratified at the almost universal
praise which his first message has
evoked. Nor did he find the first
week of Congress 50 harassing as
many expected. \ great many
Senators and Members called upon
him, but there were fewer appeals
for Office made to him than to any
President at the assembling of Con-
gress for years.
About three hundred of the Presi-
dents recess nominations have been
sent to the Senate for confirmation
Republican Senators discussed in eau
Gus the policy to be adopted in regard
to them. There was an animated de-
bate and quite a difference of opinion
manifested. Some favored general
opposition, others admitted that good
appointments should not be Oppofed.
Time only will prove what course
they will pursue.
The Republicans of the House
adopted in caucus a resolution which
was purely demagogical scheme to
capture the soldier vote. They de-
clared in favor of unconditional re-
peal of the limitation of the payment
on arrears on pensions, and also in
favor of further extensions of the pen
sion system. Many Republican Con-
gressmen will be found supporting
extravagant measures this winter
The discredit they propose to shift
upon the majority, when these meas
ures prove unpopular.

Washington Letter.

During the first week of this new
Congress, neither the Senate nor the
House has done anything more than
prepare for work. AS you know, de-
bates on bills cannot begin until COM
mittees report the bills, and as yet
only one bill has been sanctioned by
mittee. This is the HOar succession
bill, which reached the Senate today.
1t will be taken up at once, and
though it will give rise to considera-
bic discussion, it is likely to pass dur
ing the week. In all important fea-
lures it is the same bin passed by the

Southern Lumberman: The city
government has granted the right of
way asked for by the Chesapeake &
Nashville railroad through Nashville
to the union depot, and the money
asked for is about all procured. The
company has promised to complete
the road to Gallatin in the early
spring, and the prospect now is good
that Nashville will have, in a short
while, new line of railroad from
Nashville to Atlantic tide-water,
through one of the finest hardwood
lumber regions in the South. The
Crawford road, called the Nashville
& Knoxville, will connect with the
G. & n. at Gallatin and when both
roads are completed and put in opera

Professional Ranks Overcrowded.

On the principle of "give the devil
his dues" the National Review is en-
titled to credit for an occasional good
thought. Every now and then the
facile editor of that journal lets go the
crank of his political smut mill, and
writes some good, solid sense, as the
following from a recent issue attests:
"If dOting parents in the country,
who long to see their sons graduate
as lawyers and doctors, could spend
a few months in the cities and see the
almost countless hundreds of young
lawyers and doctors who walk the
streets clientless, patientless, seedy and
hungry, they would doubtless adopt
the more sensible course of teaching
their boys to master trade and pur-
sue it. This country is Overstocked
with professional men. 1t needs a
healthy growth in the mechanical de-
partments of life. From the narrow
and rugged road which leads to for
tune in the practice of law now, there
are thousands of broad and easy di-
verging ways that lead directly to the
poor-hOuse. In some places the doc
tors are so plentiful that they sit
around idly, like so many buzzards
waiting anxiously to see who shall be
the next to fall. The "professor" can
be found, with his short pants and
gourd head, in every village and at
every crossroad, while Journalists"
like the poor, Eye have always with
YOU" The post of honor is getting
to be the more private station of the
machine shop and carpenters bench.
OF the young men who enter profess
sions in these days, less than one in
ten succeed. Young man, if you
want to live poor and die worse, be a
professional man."
Tribune and Sun: The ablest, the
brightest and the best equipped young
men in the nation are coming to the
front in politics, and the indications
point to the early infusion of a large
supply of young and vigorous blood
into the leadership of the Democratic
party Of the country. Cleveland's

THE temperance question has been
sprung in the U. S. Senate. A bill
came up before that body for discus
sion on the 10Th, providing a code of
Joint rules for the Senate and House
of Representatives, including one
rule to prohibit the sale of whisky in
the Capitol. Several members at
tested that public business had been
quite frequently retarded by the
drunkenness of Senators. If there is
one place in this country where pro-
hibition is more necessary than an
other, it certainly seems that the
