a little daughter Of Leander Wardwell, the
stage driver, went up to Norway with her
father. She is only . or 6years old. She al
tempted to cross the main street near Finney's
store when a team with two fellows in a

Blood Will Tell.

There is a good story going the rounds at
Bar Harbor, about married lady there who
has two beautiful dogs and one beautiful
child, (some think the child is better looking
than the poodles, but that is merely mat
ter of tasts.) Last Thursday night she was
dressed to 20 to the Assembly" and friend
of hers was waiting for her in her room. On
her bed were sleeping her dog and her son.
She bent over and kissed the dog and passed
out. Her friend remarked that she hadn't
kissed the child. "Oh, :" remarked the fond
parent, "the dog is SO good and the child is
so bad that | can't go out at night without
kissing my little dog before leave"

The Cumberland Mountains Of Tennes ses
BY REV. B. DODGE.

The Cumberland mountains Of Tennessee,
more fifty called the table-iaad, are so little
known to the people Of the United States
that it maybe Of interest to some of the
readers Of your valuable sheet to have q
word from one who has dwelt here almost
year. Trace the SO deg. of latitude, and
south of it, and you will hit this locality.
AT the foot Of the western escarpment of
the Cumberland tabe-land is an elevated
and sharply outlined division Of the State
Of Tennessee. Ii is usually called Cumber-
land Mountain, but better name is table
land. for ii is plateau with broad and gen.
orally level Outstanding in bold relief above
the low-lands on either side, the rim lands
on the west and the East Tennessee valley
1000 feet above the sea. This tsble-land 10
the Tennessee coal field. embracing 500
square miles, about ope-eighth of the state.
Within its limits are Scott, Morgan and
Cumberland counties, with portions of eleven
other counties. The western edge of this
tsble-land is notehed and escaloped by deep
coves and valleys. These are separated by
hnger-like spurs, while its eastern edge i.
nearly direct or curving line On both
sides, the tahle-land suddenly breaks of in
sand stone cliffs from 20 TO 200 feet in
height.glving everywhere sharp and prom
inent brow. Commencing in the body of
the table-land near the middle of the State
It extends seu,hwesterly into Alabama and
here the table-land is split longi,udinally in
two b. the deep Sequatchie valley. a mar
row trough 60 miles long. and not more
than miles in width on the average. OF
the two arms thus formed, that west Of the
valley bears the name Cumberland, while
that to the east is called " nldens ridge,
being so bold and prominent as to be seen
at long distance. The surface Of this
Cumberland table land is often nearly fiat
for miles with m open growth mostly of
oak which is the case here in the region Of
Pleasant Hill. Then again it is rolling
and diversified with hills and shallow val
leys. In the northeastern part are high
ridges resembling mountains This table
land IS capped with sand found from
two 10 six feet below the surface.
The soil Is not rich, neither is il poor, for
with very little ftrtilisns bountiful crops
OF corn. potatoes, oats, millet. rye. garden
vegetables and fruj,sof nices; kinds are pro.
duced. This 'abe-land, however. ha. attrac-

From tie Athens (Ga.) BdnRsr- Wdtchadn.
Among the many absurd cam naign ru-
mors that are flying around is one to The
effect that one OF our prominent preachers
prayed in his church on Sunday for the
SUCCESS Of the Citizens ticket. This IL
altogether a mistake. Those who heard
the PRAYER referred to say that the minis
ter prayed that God would control th,
passions Of men at the approaching mu-
nicipal election, and that Gnd-fearing and
Gnd--erving citizens might be chosen to
I'll the offices and rule over the city with
Justice and wisdom. We presume thai
the rumOr grew out of the fact that this
class OF men compose the Citizens ticket.
Hence the charge that the church was
working and praying for its success.
