Gold Bricks.

The National Review gives the fol-
lowing succinct history of the gold
brick panic in Nashville:
"Shrewd man came to Nashville.
Wanted to swindle somebody.
Hunted up Mr.. o. F. Noel, who is
rich. Told Mr.. n. he had a gold
mine in Arazona. Took him out in
woods to see specimen bricks of
metal. Bricks looked fine. Shrewd
man bored them. Mr.. Noel thought
them genuine gold. Had them
weighed. Jeweler pronounced them
worth $4,000. Shrewd man pawned
them with Mr.. N. for $4,000. Bricks
turned out brass. Mr.. n. took lock-
jaw. Offered reward. Shrewd man
caught and put in Jail. Mr.. N. got
experience and the bricks. Man got
money"
Since the arrest of the "shrewd
man" another man from Indiana has
turned up whom he duped in the
same manner as Mr.. Noel to the tune
of 5000.

The Interstate Agricultural and In
dustrial Convention.

Tribune and Sun, Jackson, Tenn
A reporter of the Tribune and Sun
interviewed Asst Com'r Gates this
week, who originated the idea and is
workingitout, and gathered from him
the following interesting facts in re-
gard to the Interstate Agricultural
and Industrial Convention" to be held
in this city February 24th, 18th and
Goth next.
The convention is exciting much
interest in the eleven States to berep-
resented. They are the States of
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Capt j. f. Merry, Gen'l
Western P, A. Of the |. c. road re-
ports a growing interest in the North
ern States that are to participate, and
says the special excursion from the
North, Northwest, for the occasion
promises to be the largest and most
fruitful of practical results that has
ever come South. Capt Merry, who
has charge of the Northern part Of
the programme, also says that he will
bring with him a number Of the most
eminent men in Retrospective fields
of thought and enterprise in the
Northwest, who will make addresses
and read papers on number of sub
jectS embraced in the field of agricul-
ture, industrial development and edu-
cational progress. Mr.. Gates is con-
tident Of full and able representation
from the Southern States participant
ing, and now has positive assur-
ances of attendance and cooperation
from large number of the most pro-
minent and distinguished orators and
public men of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
A feature of the convention will be
the meeting of Northern and South
ern land agents for consultation and
organization to more effectually work
the movement, of capital and settlers
into the South. A special hall will
be provided for them.
Another feature will be the bring
ing together of capitalists who are
seeking southern investments, OF
looking South for manufacturing
locations, or points to which they may
move factories and mills already es.
tablished-the bringing ofrepresenta.
tives of this class of Northern men tC
meet Southern men who are tho.
roughly posted in the resources and
special advantages of their respective
localities. Another and wider reach.
ing feature will be the dissemination
of ideas of practical value, the ex-
change of experiences, the encourage.
ment of better methods in agricul
ture, to stimulate industrial develop
ment, to excite emulation in the field
in enterprise and in education, and tc
give increased impetus to the move
ment of capital and thrifty home
builders from the North to the South

Does Not Intend to Resign.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Feb. 1.-THE
Every Evining will, today, upon the
most reliable authority, publish a
contradiction of the report telegraph
ed from Washington yesterday, to
the effect that Secretary Bayard
would resign his Cabinet Portfolio
and retire from public life, and 60 to
Europe for a few months. Thewarm-
est personal friends of the Secretary
say that such astepa at this time would
be most iniudicious, as the necessity
Of active employment of his mind is
imperative.

Murfreesboro News.
The time is fast approaching when
the minds of the people should be
turned toward the consideration, if
not the selection of the men who are
to represent them in the State Legis-
lature. Inasmuch as that is the body
to which we must look for the enact
ment of laws by which our conduct is

to be regulated as citizens, it assured
ly behooves us to choose such men as
merit the confidence of the constitu-
ency they represent, and have both
the intelligence and courage to put
forward and maintain measures
which will insure the welfare and
prosperity Of the State.
1t is fact much to be regretted
that of late years the Legislature Of
Tennessee, as whole, has not been
composed of such material as would
either reflect credit upon the name Of
our State, or bring harmony and con-
tentment to her people. While this
is true in the main, there are yet eX-
ceptions-eXceptions in men who
went there with settled convictions
as to their duty, and faithfully dis
charged it. For such men we enter
tain feelings Of the highest regard,
and hope they will again feel called
upon to watch over the interests and
steer the ship Of State.
No State can flourish with igno-
rant law-giyers. NogoVernmentpol-
icy can secure the welfare ola people

McMinnville, Feb 5, 1886.
Very little produce trade has been
done during the past week on account
of the inclement weather. While the
snow is nothing like so deep and
heavy at this place as reported at
many other places, at Z o'clock this
(Friday) morning the mercury was
7 degrees below zero We have no
changes to report.
Eggs are very scarce, not enough
coming in to supply the local de-
mand. They would readily bring
l5c, but as soon as the weather turns
warm and the production increases,
as it will, they will necessarily de
preciate.
Stock peas are very scarce and
would probably bring soc per bushel.

HOW ANTS LIVE.
Cleanliness of the Thrifty Little
Insects.

From the Cosmopolitan.
In spite the multitarious duties and
tasks that are imposed on these tiny bur-
ghers, they still find time to clean and
adorn their worthy little persons. No
spot. no atom of dust or anything else I'M
cleanly will they tolerate on their bodies.
They get rid of the dirt with the brushy
tufts on their feet or with their tongues.
They act, for all the world, like domestic
cats whenever they clean and lick them
selves, and they assist one another at the
toilet precisely like monkeys. Their
sense of cleanliness goes so far that the
naturalist often finds, to his unpleasant
surprise, the colored marks that he had
applied with so much care on his ''trial
ants" removed by their dIrt-hating
friends. They keep their dwellings just
as cleanly.
But the conveying away of their de-
ceased brethren, whose bodies they ap-
pear to regard with the greatest an
tlpathy, gives them more trouble than any
thing else. When some members of an
ant community which Mr.. Cook kept in
prison died, and could not be removed,
those remaining seemed affected with the
greatest horror. For days the insects
ran about seeking way out, and ceased
only wi en- completely exhausted. The
ants belonging to the camponorus species
seized the dead and threw them into the
water pail, which they converted into
sepulchre. Ordinarily, though, the ants
are said ToltreHt their dead with more
reverence. They even possess their own
grave yards, Which lie in the vicinity of
their nest, They convey their deceased
comparisons shither, where they lay them
down in orderly little heaps or rows.
Itisronly the corpses Of their fellows,
heWever, that they treat in this manner.
Dead strangers they throw out like some
thing ipnclean, or tear the body in pieces.
Even between the master and slaves OF
the same Community, Miss Trent says
she has observed a dissimilar mode of
burial. While the masters find their last
repose in special graveyard, the slaves
lie like heaped up refuse near the nest,
despised equally in death as in life. The
ant cemeteries are often thickly popu-
lated, for their life is short. The males
live only through the summer, the females
live somewhat longer, and the workers
die OF old age in the eighth or tenth year.

SENATE LITERATORS.
The Literary Proclivities of Some
of Our Statesmen.

The Literary ProcIivities of Some
of Our Statesmen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.--The fact that
Senator Riddleberger has written Christ
mas story for a Baltimore newspaper has
led writer in the Republican to make
some investigations concerning the lite
rary procllvities of certain statesmen OF
the north side of the capitol. 1t is to be
doubted whether some Senators, as the
writer seems TO believe, consider it be-
meath Senatorial dignity to appear in pub
lie print, or if,they do so at all, think that
their efforts should be confined to ponder
Gus magazines or still heavier quarter
lies. There are few Senators, indeed,
who would not be particularly un-
happy were the newspapers suddenly
TO take IL into their heads to drop their
names altogether. Senator ingalls, sell
dom refuses a publishers request for bis
views, and takes great pains to make his
contributions attractive. He frequently
appears In the North American Review.
His articles are always interesting on ac-
count OF his polished style and the vein
OF satire which runs through all he
writes. Many persons think that Mr..
ingalls, could be a second Junius, II he
devoted his time to political writing.
Senator Wade Hampton Is fond OF writing,
too, but il cannot be said that he would
be a success as literary man. His
style is clumsy, and his use Of words does
not show q familiarity with etymology;
still no has an exalted opinion OF his
ability in the literary line. When one of
his articles Is published he gets hundred
or more copies OF the magazine and dis
tributes them among his friends. ANY
one who desires TO reach the
Senator's heart has only to praise
his literary work In discreet
way. senator Dawes does considerable
writing; nothing delights him more than
request for an article IN Indian affairs.
What he doesn't know about the lone
Indian isn't worth knowing. He also
likes to write occasional editorials for
Massachusetts, newspapers. He can,
however, no more keep the Indian out OF
everything he writes than Dickens DIR.
Dick could keep King Charles /. out OF his
famous memorial. Senator Blair often con-
tributes 10 the magazines articles dealing
~ith educational and temperance topios.

senator Cullom has recently written

harrison contributes occasionally to a
magazine. Senator Brown likes to write
Tehglous articles for the Baptist papers.
