Jackson Tribune and Sun.
Tennessee may yet return to her
old position among the pivotal States
in Presidential elections. Before the
war she was the mother of statesmen
of national fame. Every contest was
fierce and doubtful. The eyes of the
nation turned to Tennessee. The
mighty political contests in which
she engaged developed strong mental
powers and discovered to the world
generations of statesmen. Each po-
litical party was compelled to put its
best talent to the front and the ma
ton selected presidential candidates
from among them. How has it been
since the war? Tennessee has been
certain and fixed quantity. She
has been put down in the Democratic
column and no further attention paid
to her. Her large DemOcatic MAORI
W has UICu ldCllOllD anu uMdllOs
Brains have, in a great measure,
been discounted by demagoguery.
Anybody could lead with an inn
mense majority. The most reckless,
the creatures ofevery wave of popu-
lar passion, have forged to the front
in the past few years, and the sesult
has been disastrous. The big MAORI
ties are no more. The people fore
seeing the defeat that is to follow the
continued leadership of incompetent
men are beginning to demand that
the ablest men in the Democratic
party shall come to the front. The
Republicans with few leaders to
select from, will bring out their best
men, and the days of close and hard
fought contests are returning to Ten
nessee. 1t will do Tennessee no
harm, and it may restore the former
prestige of her statesmen.

him feelings of opposition and ami
mostly, for although many persons
profess to be above taking Offense at
honestcensure, and even seem to court
criticism, yet it must be very care
fully administered not to be unpala-
table. Very kind and generous ac-
tions are often so uncouthly perform
ed as to cause the recipient more pain
than pleasure, while reproof or
denial may be so sweetened by cour-
tesy as almost to do away with any
sense of modification or disappoint-
ment. True, good breeding is al
ways inclined to form a favorable
judgment and to give others credit of
being actuated by worthy motives;
it does not wish or seem to know
more about people than they them
selves desire should be known, but it
is always prepared, when necessary,
to take an interest in the affairs of
Others, while self is not suffered to
Obtrude unduly. A show of respect
never fails to beget respect. The
stronger an individual, the more i'm
pressive is his gentleness; the wiser
he is, the more gratifying and COM
plimentary his Difference. And in q
world where there is so much una
voidable discomfort and unhappiness,
it is surely every ones duty to culti-
vate those gracious manners under
whose magic influence the restless
and dissatisfied grow more content
with their surroundings, by which
the diffident are encouraged, the in
valid is reused and interested, the
young are inspired with self-respect,
the old are kept bright and hopeful !;
which, in short, beam sunshine
everywhere and increase thousand
fold the aggregate of human happi-
ness.

A Physicians Evidence.

People, as a general thing, endorse
a medicine according to the effect pro-
duced upon individuals, but remedy
to be of universal good, must cure in
all similar instances; hence, the evi.

Importance in summing up the salutary
and curative advantages OF remedy
when largely used by the people. In
this respect, Mans6eld's Magic Arnica
Liniment is supported by an astonish-

others, DR.. T. Harbors, of Magenta,

Good Breeding.

Boston Budget.
There would be fewer broken
friendships, fewer unhappy unions
and family quarrels, were it not so
much the custom among intimate
friends and relations to neglect the
small courtesies of life, to show less
and less mutual Difference as they
grow more and more familiar. 1t is
the foundation of misery in marriage,
and many a serious and lifelong es-
arrangement has begun not from want
of affection so much as from lack of
that delicate and instructive appreci-
alton of the feelings of others, which
makes a person shrink from saying
unpleasant things and finding fault
unless absolutely obliged; and in any
case avoid wounding the offenders

A business man of Holyoke, Mass,
who recently went to New Orleans,
undertook to do some business Incl
dentally while there, and was arrested
for selling goods by sample without
a license, exposing himself thus to a
fine of fifty dollars. After a delay OF
five hours he was brought before a
magistrate, where he pleaded his
case so effectively that he not only
escaped with a warning, but in a
quiet chat with the judge, few min
utes later, he succeeded in selling
him and his clerk specimens of the
very products of Yankee ingenuity
which had just been the occasion Of
his arrest.

is, of course, a steering apparatus,

And the lifting-machine comes into

now suppose you were working

would you expect your employer to

seemed a poser, but it wasn't. "No,"

DISEASES OF CANARY BIRDS.

Outward signs are absolutely neces-

birds are i'll they exhibit strong symp.

of the stomach, which attacksDthem at
a month or six weeks old, In conse-
quence of overlooking on soft food,
such as salad and chick weed. The
extremity of the body becomes swol-
len and Of dark red color, very hard,
and full Of small red veins. For this
ailment put small piece Of alum in
the water and renew it every day for
at least four days. This will be found
very frequently to prove a complete
cure. Still another remedy is to put a
rusty nail into the water, which latter
should be changed twice a week, leav-
ing the nail in it. Boiled bread and
milk with canary seed also boiled In 1t,
is frequently cure. Put this in the
cage for at least five mornings, and at
IL o'clock you may give the usual food.
Another remedy is to put the bird in
luke-warm milk for six or eight MIMI.

be absorbed by the pores, then Put in
warm spring water, after which wipe
it with soft piece of muslin before the
fire until dry; then place the bird in a
cage and set the latter before the fire a
short distance away, or, if you choose,
in tn hot sun In the room. Afterward
han t., cage in its place, giving the
birc lettuce seed and letting him rest
for the next day, but repeating this
the third, and if Necessary, three or four
times, with the interval of day each
time. The treatment will afford relief
if faithfully followed out.--Housekeep
