Fun from French Papers.

Mime. B. is endowed with phenome-
nal conversational powers, which she
does not permit to become impotent
through inaction.
TIE other day she was showing her
portrait to friend. and, after volubly
expatiating upon its beauties. and how
much it had cost to have it painted, and
how she had intended to wear dress
of different color, and SO on, she IL
nally said to the visitor:
But you haven't told me yet how
You liked it! Don't you think it is a
good portrait-a speaking likeness?"
my dear, it is a speaking likeness,
or, rather. it would be if you would
give it chance to get in word edge
wise"
The lady of the house was a hand
some woman of mature order OF beau
ty, and when she had completed her
toilet she gazed fondly at herself in the
glass and remarked to her new maid:
You'd give good deal to be as
good-looking as l am, wouldn't you,
now?"
''Yes'm; almost as much as you
would give TO be as young as l am"
1t is not believed that this epigram-
matte young woman will be chosen
again at the expiration of her present
term.
Inevitable French New-Year's joke:
A beggar runs after passer and
asks for aims. Receiving two sous, he
cannot conceal his disappointment and
disgust, and says: What! only two
sousr'
isn't that enoughe'
No; expected to be remembered
at New-Year's time"
Remembered? Why,what on earth
should remember you at New-Year's s
time for?"
The beggar, responsibility: Haven't
begged before your door through the
whole year without ever missing a
day?"
A gentleman who has just returned
from India is relating his experiences.
The worst thing about the place, J"
he saws, ..is the nuisance of numerous
servants. Why, when l was at Bogg-
lywallah l had four servants to look af-
ter my pipe alone!''
-Four servants to attend to your
pipe?'
Yes. The first one brought it to
me, the second one filled it, the third
lit it"
..And the fourth?"
! 30, he smoked it! l never could
abide tobacco in any form, you know!'
1t is the custom at railway-restau-
rants to serve the coffee and bouillon at
such a temperature that it is impossi-
Bile for the traveller to consume them
during the brief time that the train
| stops at the station.
The other day the lady in charge of
one of these establishments was found
in tears.
What is the matter?"

Has he insulted you?"
No; worse than that! He has swal-
lowed that bouillon that made and set

While we regret ever so sincerely TO
differ with the Nashville American be-
cause, the leading democratic journal
of the capital it should be, and ordi-
narily is, orthodox, Still it has made
two serious mistakes recently which
all true democrats will condemn !: (D
Introducing the race question into
state politics and (2) advocating, con-
trary to a time-honored custom, the
holding of one convention to nominate
political and judicial candidates. The
American prides itself in claiming to
voice public sentiment and in yield
ing to the majority, but in both the
above instances it does not reflect the
prevailing popular sentiment in the
state. Especially in West Tennessee
the people regard the introduction Of
the race question us unfortunate, not
to say absurd, and heartily desire two
conventions. Seeing how the MAORI
ty of the democracy think ON these
questions, the American should grace
fully yield to what it denominates as
the aggregated wisdom OF the MAORI
ty in the party. y."-BroVnsVa States and

lie may not be brilliant, his editori
torlals may be ordinary, but if he is a
true gentleman he will not descend to
abusive and offensive language. If
writer fails to convince or carry his
point by fair argument and reasoning
he can not hope to do sc by resorting
to epithets and to omud-slinging. Such
practices are not only sign OF men
tai weakness, but of coarseness and
low-breeding. Any fool can throw
mud and call names. Any ignoramus
can swear. Whenever an editor seizes
his little pencil and writes lot of stuff
about an opponent or a contemporary
being Il liar, a scoundrel, ETC., you can
make up your mind that said editor is

or manhood, but rather of the lack of
both, when an editor allows himself to
use ungentlemanly and offensive Ian
guage in his columns. A certain
young man who used TO edit Ken

cused of having IL corner on brains,
missed an issue of his paper
IN which he did not accuse somebody
and almost invariably somebody
more decent than himself-with tell {

The Americans Two lleresles.
Memphis Avalanche.

The American has advanced two
heresies under which it has been
sqlirming. These are projecting the
Jury ol both races, interrupting the pro-
cess OF quiet and orderly settlement
of question necessarily slow OF solu-
tion, and the advocacy Of a single Ju-
dicial convention contrary TO all DEM
ocratic precedent and the plain
teaching of the constitution which has
wisely separated judicial from political
issues. AS to the first, the abstract
merits OF the race issue are not now
under discussion. When they are,
without being radically progressive to
the injury OF society and Of both races
the Avalanche will occupy no narrow
bourbon ground. Taking observation
and the testimony of other observers,
even some OF them ardent republicans,
such as Senator Hawley's partner, we
find the question quietly settling itself
as fast as possible. No process can
further its solution beyond the inoul-
cation of sound and wholesome pub
lie sentiment. No argument against 1t
it is need beyond that it was revival
from the democratic camp OF an issue
that has sufficiently vexed the country
to be left to the silent operations Of
society and education, acting upon
both races, bringing about whatever
practical solution is possible. 1t Is
perfectly clear that the masses OF Ten
nessee are opposed to its agitation at
this time. 1t is fatally wrong policy
because it not only revives a race
question which was dying out of poll
tics to grow silently into practical
solution as the races mingle In daily
business.
1t is simply with change of names
what Malone tried in Virginia. Wis
dom would have allowed it to slumber
and work out by the silent process.
As TO the other questions, it is urged
that it Is economical to hold one con-
vention for political and judicial NOM
nations. In the harder times follow
ing 1873 the sturdy democrats of Ten
nessee never dreamed of violating a
sound principle, imbedded in the CON
stitution and fixed as democratic pol
icy by every convention ever held,
violated we believe by no party, unless
it may have been the republican party.
1t is fatal to violate sound and es-
tablished principle because OF the cheap
ness of its infraction. 1t costs always
more to gather up the consequences
of error and to lind the right road
again than may be saved, while the
moral and political consequences far
outweigh any pecuniary saving.
II the democratic party OF Ten
nessee shall take this step its enemies
will not If for pittance OF expense
never complained OF before they vio-
late sound and fixed principle we
cannot affix the time when they will
recur TO the right road nor the cost.
We have endeayored to give the
American calm discussion OF a grave
question based upon public grounds.
We believe both positions are impreg-
nable when tried upon the same plane.
In this we solemIy believe We reflect
the conservative progressive wisdom
OF the public.

Prospects of Tobacco.

The prevalence of cool weather
smacks very much of an early frost
in our locality. The growing tobacco
was never in more ununiform condl-
ton than it is at present. The knife
has been applied to some fields, and
the plants are hanging in the barn;
while in other places the leaves are
Just beginning to shadow the earth,
and it will be weeks before the plants
can be topped. The crop of 1884
proved to be a large one, and, MS a
consequence, the surplus which al
ready existed in the English market
was further increased. The question
whether or not large yield this year
is desirable, is certainly debatable
one. Farmers with ability to look be-
yond their noses, must see that III the
long run (that is, taking several years
SUCCESSFULLY light crops would net
them as much as large acreage and
abundant yield; for in the former
case the manufacturers would have to
fight among themselves to secure to-
bacco for their trade. AS it now exists,
there is plenty for all, and no buyer
is afraid OF not getting enough. II, by
COnnlnOu CDls6ut, SNSIy plAIlbCE WOulu
both agree and really curtail the plant
ing of tobacco, it would rest with the
farmer and not the buyer, to say how
much shall be paid for a crop. But
such state of affairs will never exist
except in ldeality; every tobacco
grower will seek to grow more than
his neighbor, and so realize greater
sum. The intelligence of everybody
agrees to the fact that for years past
2O0fbs of tobacco has brought no more
than 100 pounds would have done, had
only the production been one-half as
great. The fault lies in the peculiar
disposition to consider only the pres
ent, and this characteristic can never
by any means be effaced from the far
mers' disposition. But to consider
only the present crop, which will un-
doqbtedly be a short one, it ia highly
probable that, considering the small
expenditure on the growing crop,
there will be realized by raisers almost
as much as there would have been in
case OF big yield. The effect will be
to stimulate the English market, and
so encourage the factory men to bid
with more alacrity and confidence.
Should the proceeds be much less than
is customarily received, it will be some
consolation to know that for next year,
at any rate, the gain will be assured.

Democrats Must Unite.
Tribune and Sun.

One of the foremost and ablest Dem
ocrats in East Tennessee, in letter to
the editor OF the Tribune and Sun.
says:
al chanced to see in the Union OF the
9th, the republication of your editori-
al on the internal troubles of the Ten
nessee Democracy, and cannot refrain
from expressing by letter my own
qualification and approval of the senti-
ment and spirit so happily expressed
therein, and my belief that it contains
the opinion and desire of East Tennes-
see Democrats generally. In essen
tials unity, in on-essentials liberty and
in all things charity should be the mot
to and practice of our party at all times
at the present it mast be, for we are
in danger of the common enemy"
The position OF the Tribune and Sun
is endorsed in every part of the State,
and when the representatives OF the
party meet in convention the leaders
of faction will be relegated to the
rear The masses of the Democratic
party are not divided and they will
not tolerate any effort to divide the
party in the interest of any individual
or factional interest. We must have
"in essentials @nity, in non essentials lib
e,ty and III all things charity"

EplroR Cm,Is:-l sec considerable
said in the papers about the roads and

submit to toll roads | think Edgcrlon's

Il citizen OF Livingston county am OPP
posed to toll roads, If they can be 9th
crwisc made. 1t seems TO me that the
people ought to have 4 chance to make
free roads, before toll road, are fixed
ON them for all time TO come, and to
do that they must have Il vote ON ii.
Every person Of common sense
knows that ii We ever have roads we
will have to pay for them in some way.
ii we do not taN ourselves and build
free roads we will have to pay for tray.
cling on toll roads. So it will be tax
anyway, and prefer the taN and free
roads.
If the people ever get toll roads fixed
on them think they will wish they
had voted tax and built free roads
before they get rid OF them. Ii we
build free roads and pay for them We
arc done with it. But if we get toll
roads they are never paid for and al
ways paying too, Ii we are not mis-
taken the assessed valuation of this
county is ahOnt five million dollars
Now say the rgoplo would vote one
half OF one per cent on all taxable
property in the county for one year; it
would raise about $4,000, and for two
years 100000, which would be enough
to niacaiam'2c all the roads in the
county That would not be much lax
compared with the amount Of good it
would do A man that paid on $1,000
would only have about 50 extra for
roads, and in one months lime he nGy,
er would know the difference. Some
seem to object to such vote because
, de law does not warrant it. ! don't
suppose therv ~ aNy law againstit, and
we are all alike interested. We do not
mean to vote u bonded Indebtedness,
bat vote the amount and collect it and
use it Gn the roaiy nstead Of paying

Let tho people speak out through the

known.
I believe the people will have roads
before long of some kind if they have
