CovINGroN, Tenn, March 24.-Why
are so few candidates offering for
Governor? Col. Looney appears to be
the only candidate from West Ten
nessee. The Democrats of this county
think it is owing to Looney's popu-
larity and that he will have no m
petition from this division of the
State. Ny business has called me to
various parts Of West Tennessee and
all the Democrats, without an eXcep-
ton, are for Il. +. Looney for Gov
ernor. If we consider moment we
will understand why West Tennessee
is so unanimous for Looney. This
division OF the State since the forma'
ton of the State has had only two
Governors, namely, Harris and Porter
1t is wrong that there should be any
such question raised, but as the lines

was extremely interesting, having had
the pleasure of seeing the wares made

and to those who have a special love
for the beautiful, and anticipate TRIP

lent to visit this works, for since the

produced here. Copeland's well known
pottery is also located at this place.
We also visited the home of James
Brindley, a man whose memory all
England is proud to honor. He was
born in 1718 Of poor and humble par
entage, and by his own personal ef-
forts became one Of the first engineers
of his time. He planned and superin-
tended the work of the first successful
canal built between Worsley and Man
chester. He engineered and managed
the construction of several others, and
in the hands of monied gentlemen was
the means of opening up the vast
wealth that now exists in the interior
of England. He died September q
l772, during the construction of the
Trent and Mursay canals, and was in.
tered in the burying ground at New
Chapel, near Tunstall. We visited his
old home and made a sketch of his
study and the lock he built as an ex-
pertinent which still remains in the
garden preserved as monument OF
his genius.
We have had several pleasant rides
upon our wheels, hut two of our num-
ber waiting to purchase at Birming-
ham. The roads to an American are

til we get started toward London. ] be-
lieve that am the most attractive man

Wherever stop they swarm around

show it up and many funny remarks
are passed. but they are forced at last
to at least admire American genius.

THE antiquity of the harp appears
to the fact that the ancient Egyptian
frescOes contain harps that are 5000
years old. Dr~oe gives some copies OF
paintings in 1OO-gated Thebes OF
harp in the tomb Of Rameses, thus
showing that before Athens was built
the Egyptians used this instrument.
Bible readers know King David's
favorite instrument was the harp
called minor. It is said that when
hung over his couch the wind caused
the strings to sound at midnight-the
principal of the aeolian harp.

SO he proceeded to do for each half
days travel nearer the beast, until he
had placed erect and in a straight line,
six arrows. Then, with his seventh
arrow in his hand, the tamanawus
approached the bear, who cast upon
him the evil eye; but his tamanawus
was so strong that it had no effect.
He then shot the remaining arrow into
the beast, and turning swiftly ran for
the arrow last placed in the ground.
The beast followed. When the tanlan-
awus man came to the arrow, he
seized it and shot it into the animal.
So he did with each of the other
arrows, until he arrived at the last
arrow, which he, with his greatest
strength, shot through the heart of
the beast, and thus killed it. The ia
manawus man, by his cunning, had
thus led the beast to the centre of the
great Nisqually plains to die. Its
death caused great rejoicing, and then
there was gathering of the whole
tribe. After the skin was taken off
the beasts carcass, it was divided
equally between the different branches
of the tribe. And so large was the
beast that the skin of one ear, which
had been given to the Tumwater
branch of the tribe, was taken to
Mound Prairie to dry, and 1t covered
the whole plain. The next thing
done by the great tamanawus man
was to erect large and strong build
ing, with but one opening or door in
the same. He then gathered all
the
DISEASE, DEFORMITY AND CRIME,
And placed it in the house and
secured the doors. Then he appointed
certain family to take charge of the
house and said family and its decend-
ants were to ever remain in charge
of it. He gave strict orders that the
doors were never to be opened under
any circumstances whatever. What
the house contained was only revealed
to the head of the family, and thus it
became to the remainder of the tribe
great mystery. In time this partic-
ular family became reduced in num-
bers, leaving but one old man with
lis WHO and dA..yI'sA-. Ouu ttuy the
old man, forgetting his duty and dig
nifty, went from the house to assist
his wife to perform some labor, thus
leaving the daughter alone. Her Gu
riosity had long been aroused as to the
contents of the closed room, and this
was an opportunity not to be neglected
to satisfy that curiosity. She undid
the fastenings to the door and pushed
it back but a short distance. But that
was sufficient. The inmates got the
advantage and all rushed out, and 40
the world was filled with disease, de-
fOrmity, crime and woe. Thus is
made manifest what woman's curiosity
has brought upon mankind. So Of
