COMING DOWN To FARMING.

Senator Evarts, of New York, must be
careful what he is about and mind his p's and
as better. In late speech he said that
when a man made failure i'll everything
else being politician included. there was
nothing left for him but to go to better
world or come down to farming.
Senator Evarts should understand that
no man ''comes down to farming. 1t is
at once the most useful and most exalted
of all occupations Any numbskull who
has money can get into the United States
Senate A good many men who are there
now bear witness to it. But to become
well-to-do ut farming requires brains, judg-
ment industry and practical intelligence
of the highest order. Not only have farm
crs to contend against drouths, wet
seasons. rot. insect pests and of all the evil
forces of nature, but they have also to bear
mp against the annual eruption of idiocy of
the average Congressman,
The farmers task is indeed difficult
one. To perform it thoroughly requires
qualities that partake of the heroic. But
the American farmer. fortunately, has
strong, alert mental faculties. A good
memory is one of them. for one thing He
will probably not forget Senator Evart's
idea of the farmer. how when a man was
too utterly blessed fool for anything else
he had to come down" TO farming.

THE WOMEN OF ANCIENT EGYPT.

Lysander Dickinson, who is delivering
course of lectures in Boston on the Egypt
tians. devoted portion of his last lecture
to the condition of women among them.
lie said that though there was no trace
left of marriage ceremony, there were
laws and contracts in force that made the
women equal and even superior to the
men in property and social rights. He
read several marriage contracts to show the
gradual progress in freedom and influence
of married women. In 1el b. c., the de
cree of Philopater, that no wife should dis
pose Of her property without tine consent
of her husband, actually killed women 5
rights, and from tha5 time it would seem
that the dcthronement of women was SIRE
and sudden. Marriage between brothers
and sisters was lawful. the marriage of Isis
and Osiris among the gods forming the
basis for this Monogamy was the rule.

yellow will be lavishly used in spring


There is a young man in this town who
deserves encouragement. i don't suppose
he will get it, for the virtuOus are seldom re-
warded in this weary world; the other boys,
instead of Initiating him, will doubtless
laugh at him and his thrift, and the girls
will look down upon him as q mean-spir-
tied. misery fellow, and he will be called
Sissy and Miss Nancy, but, as | said be-
fore, his merits should receive recognition.
Just think of il, young ladies! He not only
cuts but makes his own clothing, coats,
vests and unmentiOnables. Who among
your gentlemen acquaintance can do as
much, pray? He always looks nice too,
and YOU would never suspect that he is his
own tailor. He has accomplishments, can
sing n little and is quite an artist; that
might be rather of a drawback, but he
evidently knows how TO suppress these
lighter qualities when necessary. My good
ness, wouldn't he be useful in family,
though? ecould not only make clothing
for the children. but his wife could revel in
tailOr-made suits. 1 declare, if was a
marrying woman / should be strongly in
clined to propose to him myself.
&.#
One does sometimes wonder how these
impecuniOus young men manage to 90 so
much into society. but l do think it's I'M
kind to accuse them of clubbing together.
buying dress suits in partnership, and TAX
ing turns in going out. Besides none of
them ever stay at home. unless they bear so
strong a resemblance to one another that
on-lookers are unable to distinguish between
them, but suppose that all of them are al
ways on hand.
-
But speaking of impecuniosity, although
you may have you last fiye-dOllar-bill in
your pocket. and although you may be wor-
ried to death as 10 how you are ever going
to make both ends meet, let me beg of you,

your escort hear you when you ask the
cab-driver to charge you ''as little as posi-
ble." LADY RAMBLER.

we would have done under differ
ent regime. But we like to feel in
our work that we are in a free
country and that the voice of all
should be called for. At the Knox
County Convention a motion was
made by Mr.. Austin to instruct the
State Central Committee to change
the time, and he was the only man
who voted for it. The entire Con-
vention voted that August was the
month to hold the Convention, be-
sides a majority of the Republican
papers favor short campaign.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-05-05

The Republican State Central
Committee has been guilty of a
very foolish thing in changing the
time for holding the State Conven-
ton. With very few exceptions,
the party was satisfied with the
action as it stood. A short, vigor-
Gus campaign would have been
more satisfactory to the people than
a long, dirty one. Long campaigns
always become more or less cor
rdpt in their management; besides,
It keeps the people in a turmoil SO
= long that it is a positive injury to
their social and financial interests.
There is one feature about this
change that we condemn more
than all else: the Committee was
secretly called together, holding q
secret session-no expression Of the
party was asked. The TINES is OPP
POSED 70 this one man power, or boss
rule. 1t is for the people to have q
say what shall be the acts Of the pa: :
ty and not for u secret conclave, ig-
nOring their rights and interests.
We endorsed a short campaign as
indicated by the Democratic State
Central Committee in the TINES,
honestly believing it the best thing
for both sides, and we still believe
it. Of course we shall work just as

The TIMES Of last week promised
to give to the people some letters
from Judge Young and others bear
ing upon the character and stand

the nomination of Mr.. Owings the
friends of Lindsay and Owings
request that they be not
published. In the interest Of peace
we yield to their requests. The
reason why we intend ed to publish
was that our motives were i'm.
pugned for the support the TINES
gave Mr.. Lindsay. Therefore we
felt it was due US to show that his
standing at home and in Office was
just what the TIMES said 1t was.

The Maryville College has been
on the upward grade for the last
two years in number of students
and in her financial condition.
Those who visit there are satisfied
of one thing, and that is, the capaci-
-ty Of the building should be in
creased. A hall with capacity for
seating a thousand persons should
be provided, and as a speciality the
inside finish should be Of the best
quality. The College with its pres
ent faculty ought to have 500 stu
dents instead of 275, and 1t could
have just as we'll as not If the build
ings were such as to offer proper
accommodations and Inducements
With such building capacity made
known up North there would be nc
trouble in putting in the 500 STU
dents. Maryville, with her offer
ings of health, churches, good citi.
zens, morals, &C, would bring young
gentlemen and ladies here from all
directions. The Presbyterians are
able to do this work and do 1t quick
Money could not be spent in bet

The Judicial Convention Of the
3rd district, at LoudOn on the 18th
ult, made Hon. s. A. Rodgers and F.
D. Owings its choice for Judge and
Attorney General. Judge Rogers
is so we'll known to the people OF
this district that no introduction is
necessary. His ability, impartial.
ty and Christian character is so
thoroughly established that no de-
Tense is necessary and nothing can
be said which would strengthen his
cause. 1t is seldom that man can
be found who is so free from the
popular vices of the age and can
still carry his popularity with ev.
cry class.
The selection of F. d. Owings as
the Republican candidate for At

While we were not for Mr.. Owings
in the convention, we believe him
to be qualified for the position in
every respect. Mr.. Owings shall

Bruce Hardin was accidentally

mer, his finger slipped off and the
load was discharged, the bullet
passing through Bruce's skull into
