Our Candidate.

Mr.. Blank is a candidate for the
position of no-matter.What. He
wants TO serve the dear people. He
has always had a special fitting for
that position. To the farmer he is
in favor Of low taxation. He en-
4uires about the babies, wife, crops
and finally button-holes the farmer
into a corner and wants some
pledges for active work in his
neighbOrhOod. Mr.. Blank squares
up his Out-lawed accounts with the
gentle remark that it should have
been paid before this, but it acct
dentally slipped his mind. He pats
bummers and dead beats on the
back, cracks jokes and sets 'em up
as though they were old pards, and
lends them all a quarter apiece.
He sits on the front seat at meet
ing, pays the preacher quite liber-
ally and invites the influential
members Of. the church home to
dine with him. He takes imposi-
ton with the best of grace, his to-
bacco is passed around quite pro-
fusely.
Mr.. Blank subscribes for his
county paper and clears up the old
score. In fact, Mr.. Blank is for a
, season an obliging, polite, energet.
ic and accommodating citizen.
To his brother republican he Is a
stalwart. To democrat he Is u
liberal. To the bummers he winks
and says "yOu are fine fellows" To
the "bOys," 1t Is all right to take q
drink. To the prOhibitionist, he Il
thoroughly Disguised with the ours.
ed stuff and Is in favor Of wiping II
out of the land. Smiles and sun.
shine play continually across his
visage, and he tips his hat to the
ladies with the utmost grace.

A word of advice to the Republic
can Executive Committee of BlOunt
County:
My dear sirs, the time has come
with us when excuses must be laid
aside and every man turn out. But
before we are called to meet in
convention, let US call np0n the Re-
publican voters Of our District and
get a full expression from them, SO
that we will be able to make q wise
and satisfactory nomination. The
time has come when we must not
sleep, but 60 to work. We can elect
all the county officers in Loyal Old
Bl0unt, and carry the State II we
will only work. So, hold up your
heads, and open wide your eyes
and see the last breath 60 out Of
Democracy in Tennessee in next
November; and when Tennessee

Attorney General, in refusing to furnish the
reasons asked for In relation to suspended off,

they would reject nominations where they had

to furnish the information called for by the
Senate. And lastly. they condemned the Admin

packed houses, stirring speeches, and unabatable
enthusiasm. This is the eighteenth time in q

can fast all day and go to the evening

but the beverages are apt to bother
her, and she may soon get inca

The day is gone by when lobbery and

English printers are complaining that
Englishmen possess no originality; that
very few improvements are made; that
the papers and books printed in England
do not show the same progress made in
the ART of print as is made in foreign coun-
tries. An English editor cries out In de-
spair; is there one great improvement in
printing originally due to an English
printer" Then he tears his hair by re
ferring to the w~ell-known historical facts
that it was n German who invented 18th
ography; n Frenchman who invented a
hthographing machine; a Yangee who in
vented the fast press; the first single-cyl-
inder book machine was invented by u
Frenchman; the first good perfecting press
by a F~renchman; another Yankee named
Gordon invented the treadle jobbing ma
chine. Stereotyping was invented by a
Frenchman, and newspaper stereotyping
by an Italian.
Al this is very discouraging to the Eng
lish printers. The same editor bewails
still more over t~ypefoundlng. The old
hand-mOld was used for centuries until
Didot, "A Frcnehman. and Bruce. an
American invented the machine-mold
And worse than all that, English printing
IS going into France and Germany-to
Germany for cheapness and To France for
taste. The editor cries out. III this con

An officer stationed at Kalladgee, in
India, was once climbing a rocky hill,
when he and a native who accompanied
him witnessed the following episode: A
poor monkey was being slowly e~nwrapped
In the voluminous folds of an enormous
boa, Its bone breaking like pine stems by
fhe pressure. Gradually the reptile I'M
wound itself, leaving Il crushed, unrecog-
nizable mass. The numerous monkeys on
the rock were in the greatest state OF ex-
element, running wildly about, gesticu-
lating, chattering, and moaning, though
OF course powerless to help their comrade,
While the snake was commencing its
gorge, and before its body began TO fill
and swell, the officer and native went in
quest of a stout cudgel and a sharp knife,
expecting to make it an easy prey as soon
as it should be hlled 10 replction.
When they returned to the scene Of the
strife, the boa lay thoroughly gorged, be-
meath n projecting mass of cliff, looking
more like a log than anything more lively.
On the summit above n troop Of monkeys
were assembled, and three or four OF the
largest and strongest were occupied in
displucing a massive fragment Of rock,
already losseuod by the ain from the
main ledge BY enormous eXertion-made,
too, with a silence quite unusual to monk
eys-they ut length succeeded in pushing
the rock until it trembled just over the
boa's head; then, uttering a yell Of tri-
umph, they dropped it over the miniature
preeipice. 1t struck the boa on the head,
MASKING It to a jelly. As its great tail

gle, there was n general chorus Of exulta-
