A PRINTERS SUCCESS.
A SINGULAR EXAMPLE OF THE
FREAKS OF NEWSPAPER MEN.

A Unique Literary Enterprise and the
It-A Newspaper without an Editor.
The Result Luck.
Moses A BOWS experience in life furnished
n singular example of the freaks of fortune,
and, perhaps, "a not altogether encouraging
illustration of the prizes which come to men
who cater to the reading taste of the public.
Mr.. Dow was originally an industrious and
hard working printer l made his acquaint-
ance at this time. He was working in a
printing office "a compositor. He was not
so swift rs younger men, his work was not
constant, and he was able to make but So n
week. This sum went further then than it
does now, for those were not days of extrava-
gance like the present, but IL would not sup
port family Mr. Dow dropped his com
posing stick and determined to make strike
for n living in another direction l met him
one day N the street soon after. He had done
nothing, and was poorer than over. But he
had then n scheme in his brain which he I'M
folded to me, and asked my opinion of it. 1t
was to establish The Waverly Magazine. l
told him it was rs wild project was ever
conceived; that there was no possibility of
success in it. He said that was almost the
universal opinion among those with whom nc
advised, and that no one had confidence
enough in it To lend him the small sum Of
money with which he felt it necessary to
start. Neither of the prominent type found
ries would let him have type on credit, but
he had hope of smaller house which was
thinking of advancing type and material and
taking n mortgage on them.
1t is a singular coincidence in this connec-
ton that l convcrscd last week, in st. Paul
Mimi, with gentleman who told me that
he loaned Mr.. Dow the first $50 land prob
ably almost the only onc) with which he
started this office. For he did manage to get
the loan of the type and to start it. He
worked himself, and ne hired girls at a small
compensation and doubtful pay to help him,
and after the most extraordinary effort, the
first num.Sr of the paper was got out. 1t
proved To he very handsome paper, typo
graphically. One of Mr. Dow's hobbies was
To have n good-looking paper, and he was
wise enough not to let his poverty be seen i'm
its appearance. BY great personal effort he
got il into circulation, and obtained money
enough from the sale of the first number To
print the second The third was n little
easier, AMI there began to be hopes that Mr..
BOWS sanguine views were not 50 wild, after

wether the distinguished temperance
workers, spoke for constitutional pro-
hibitlon to an overlooking house at
Elders Opera House Friday night,
fully 600 people being present. 1t was
considered the most brilliant temper
ance audience that ever assembled in
Montgomery County. Preachers,
judges, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers
and merchants were largely represented
as we'll as the leading society ladies' and
gentlemen of the city. The interes
manifested for constitutional prohibi-
ton in Clarksvile is simply wonderful.
the men and women, white and colored
are talking it upon the street CORNERS.
in the shops and at the fresides. An
other large audience greeted Mrs. Meri-
wether and Mrs Saxon tonight. During
their stay here the Montgomery County
Colored Alliance was organized with
the following officers; Daniel Overton,

FROM LAFAYETTE. KY.

Il
To the Chronicle:
The appearance of spring has revived
the hopes OF the farmers and they are
making strenuous efforts for the planting
of a tobacco crop. The tobacconist
have made a start buying tobaccos,
they are giving comparatively nothing
for it. In view Of the low prices we
cannot understand why the farmers
want to continue to grow the corp.
Wheat is growing nicely and bids fair
to be mn immense crop. Corn is de-
clining in price all the time. Seed oats
are cheap and an immense acreage will
be sown.
This town was animated BY the ar
rival Of DR.. G. ]. Northington on last
Friday. He has been gone since No
yelnber. He has Travelled through
Wyoming, Montana and Utah terrific
ties. The Doctor has stood his trip
very we'll and look remarkably well.
The firm OF shyer Bros. will soon
leave for Hopkinsyille.
Mr. Sink Wooten is in Texas on bust
ness.
Mr. Chas. Hargrove passed through
town this week en- route for Macedonia.
Ill. He expresses himself as being very
much pleased with our country. During
his short stay here he has made many
friends.
This week the writer visited Stewart
county, and met with some of the lead
ing men in the county and interviewed
them in regard to present depression
in trade. They seem to be detected,
for they say 1t is ruinous to business.
Stewart County's Raeding Circle
will be organized at Dover on the 9th,
inst. This is OF utmost importance and
should be attended by all thinkging
teachers.
Next the writer visited the enterpris-
ing firm OF Buck and Morrow at Oak
wood. This firm is doing an excellent
business, both in dry goods and tobacco.
they are aflable and energetic men.
Thence he went to Jordan Springs and
met with Messrs. Anderson and Daniel,
two merchants at this place who are
doing lively business, In all his jour-
ney across the country he heard nothing
but hard times We hope that times
will get better and the faces that are so
long now will resume their original
shape. DEMosTHENEs.

APARADIsE FOR FORTUNE HUNTERS.
Washington is the paradise for fortune
hunters. In no other city in this country
do they ply their avocation with greater
success. The great freedom with which
society opens its arms to every newcomer,
without inquirlng too strictly into his an
tecedents, encourages the trade, or rather
the profession, Of the fortune hunter. 1t
has indeed become fine art with mOstof
them. they know, as rule, long before
the advent of this or that family to the
capital, what their social status at home
is, what the fathers business Is, how
much his bank accounts, how many sons
there are among whom to divide it, how
many marriageable daughters, the 'dot'
likely to ial to each, and all about it.
There is a certain bond of sympathy, too,
among this gentry. 1t is almost a sort Of
freemasOnTy, by which they manage to
compare notes. put each other on the
right track, aid the falling member of the
fraternity or rejoice with the lucky one
who has carried away a rich prize. Each
member Of a certain clique of fortune
hunters successfully proposed to the
same girl. the girl refused each In turn
only To fall later on into the hands OF an
other fortune hunter who had piled his
trade with greater discretion. A cOnspic-
uOus example of the fortune hunter beaten
at his own game was furnis he'd this win
ter by the marriage of a certain Lieuten-
ant who had become engaged to three
young ladies in succession in as many
years, mad Tilted each upon finding that
neither had as much money as he antci-
DaLed, and is now tied to "a woman whom
he supposed to be possessed Of a large for
tune but which is said to have mysteri-
ous ly disappeared since the death of her
father who lived here for many years in

the PARsoN HEARS TUE NEWS.

About ten minutes past midnight Dr.
Sunderland was found at his home, on &
street, by a small army of reporters. The
doctor received the congratulations eX-
tended him with some surprise. He was
decidedly as onished when the partIcu-
lars of the forthcoming wedding were i'm
parted to him. He said absolutely that
he had no knowledge whatever of the
marriage, or the fact that he was TO Of
ticiate. The Presidents special messen-
ger had not found him. The doctor was
glad to hear the President was 10 be mar
red. He had heard so many reports con-
corning 1t, he said, that be had almost
come to the belief that there was nothing
in them. AS 70 the question OF his Off
ciating ne said that 1t would perhaps be
indeicate for him to accept the tender be-
fore it reached him. His tone, however,
implied that he would accept with su-
pTeme pleasure.

Washington society, whatever is said
TO the contrary, is prepared TO give a
hearty welcome TO the bride, and wishes
her a wiser reign in the White House
than that of her only youthful predeces-
scr, Mrs. John Tyler, who brought many
f0llies into its dignifed domain, and was
the first Presidenps wife to have dancing
at her evening parties-a custom which
soon fell into ''innocuOus desuetude."

The Fire Sunday Morning.

Mr. Edit0r: Please allow me space in
your paper to explain nv conduct at the fire
on Sunday morning. We arrived first on the
ground and laid out our hose and were short
four lengths to reach the burning building. I
went to the driver of reel No and asked him
TO lengthen my line so as TO reach the fire.
He said he would when he laid out his, al
though he had not started to lay his line out
then told the Chief about it. and he told me
If ! din not shut up he would have me ar
rested. Now, it was the Chiefs place to
lengthen my line first; and, secondly. il reel
No. had had her full amount of hose, the
Chief would not have had to call reel No. ! to
lengthen my line about 10 minutes after, and
leave the eastern portion Of the CITY unpro-
tected from fire. ANDREW J. HARRIS,
