Sam Jones Clues In.

Chicago, March 2S.-The Rev.
Sam Jones, preaching tonight be-
fore a great crowd, ended his dis
course with a statement which ere
ated a decided sensation among his
auditors. The declaration was to
the effect that he had quit the use
of tobacco. Said he:
II consecrated myself to Christ
thirteen years ago, and have since
tried to live rightly, but I have a
habit which is called. a stumbling
block to others by good Christians
in the North, and announce to
you tonight that you can say Sam
Jones has got no habits that will be
a stumbling block to anybody.
Tremendous applause. When
ever l find I have about me any
thing that may prove q stumbling
block to keep others from Christ, it

Already the effect of Northern,
Eastern and Western men is being
felt in the South in manufacture,
Agriculture, horticulture, stock
raising, numbering, mining
and building interests. There is
now more building in Southern
towns-more signs of improvement
than were ever manifested since
the country was settled. In all
towns and cities of any size are
organized immigration societies,
composed mostly of Northern men,
but organized by prominent citi-
zens of Southern birth, the object
of which is to lay before Northern
people the great inducements and
openings of the South. The next
decade will witness great changes
in Tennessee in all her material in
terests.

The Tribune says it is lie that
Post Offices have been removed
from points where they have been
held for years, to points where a
democrat could be found TO take
the office. The Tribune CONTRA
verts a fact that is patent to all
here. A number of offices have
been removed: Seaton, Huffstetler,
and probably some others. We
had it from one subscriber that
since the removal Of the post office,
he has four miles instead of one to
60. So, Mr.. Tribune, it is not re-
publican lie.

COST OF PROSECUTION.

The people ask what goes with all
the money collected in the shape OF
taxes. Here is a statement that
shows state of dishonesty in
the whisky and beer selling move
ment, which ought to open the eyes
of the people. Nine-tenths OF the
newspapers are under the whisky
influence. A large per cent. of the
judges, jurors, attorneys and wit
nesses are brought under this same
influence, so that it has become the
great money making scheme Of all
these parties. Serving on the jury
is getting to be profession. In
some places court houses, mayors
courts and magistrates Offices are
filled with professional witnesses
and jurors, all paid out of the coun-
ty treasury; but through them the
whisky prosecutions fail, and the
tax payers pay the fiddlers.

The adjustment Of the labor ques

The adjustment Of the labor ques-
tion ID the United States is the
problem Of the times. 1t is one
that will give trouble to the indus
tries Of the United States, and will
be o. difRcult TO settle as slavery
and the liquor, question. 1t is near
" Of kin to both, except that the
labor organizations have no money;
bat they have thousands of votes
that carry with them a power not
to Q ignored by politicians. 1t is
said there are q million Of men
now lie, and this idleness does not
grow - much out of 2 want of de-
mand Tor labor as out Of refusal to
comply with sthe.. change in the
prices paid for labor, as also 8 do
moralitation:: from certain contract
ed habits which are at war with the
honest industries Of the country.
The attempted war between cap
ital and labor is the commission of a
Gfeatwrong to both, as there should
be the closest and most friendly re.
lations existing between the two,
for neither can prosper without the
other. Capital wants the labor and
must havelit, while the labor can
hot Do without the capital. And
he who attempts to create trouble
between these two adjunct powers
toss itsttbe expense Of right and
food government. Bad men,
prompted BY demagogy, have much

A Deferred Duel.


We were all officers of the line stat
ioned in small town. In our circle
there was one PrusSian, man of about
3J years, and of serious, almost gloomy,
habits. He hal distinguished himself
as an officer of the Tenth huzzars, and
no one could imagine why he had left
that regiment to livein wretched little
place where life was SO monotonous.
His principal occupation was pistol
shooting, and the walls OF his room
were literally honeycombed with bullet
holes. Duels were often the theme of
our conversation, but Sylvio never took
part in such discussions. If asked if he
had ever fought duel, would simply
answer, Yes" in tone to indicate
that any further questioning would be
lisagreeable to him.
One day while we were at cards a
stranger who had joined us became
angered at something Sylvio said, and
insulted him. All supposed that the
stranger would on the morrow fall
victim to Sylvio's skill; but next morn
ing at review, while We were wondering
whether the young lieutenant was alive,
he suddenly appeared in person. Sylvio
did not allule to the matter As he
had received an insult without resent
ing it we gradually dropped him from
our circle.
One morning he received letter. |
watched him as he tore it eagerly open
and perused its contents with flashing
eyes. His strange manner past un-

own affairs "Gentlemen," he said, 81

night, in fact-but beg you will all dine

pect you, especially, without fall" he
added, turning to me. He then hur-
riedly left ms.

bare walls, so curiously honeycombed
with bullet-holes. Our host was in
good spirits, and we soon all followed
suit; champagne corks flew about,
| glasses were filled and refilled, and all
heartily bade OAR friend God-speed. 1t
was late when we rose to so. When
my turn came to say good-by, Sylyio

remained. When the guests had
left, he seated himself opposite me, and

The GAME OF LIFE.


This lie Is but game of cards,
Which mOrtals have to learn;
Each shutllcs, cuts AMI deals tie pack,
And each n trump doth turn.
Some bring high card to the top,
And others bring Il low,
Some hid II hand quite flush Of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shuttle with practical hand.
And pack their cards with care,
So they may know, when they are dealt,
Where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes Of rogues,
Wmir rOgucs each other cheat,
And he is very wise. Indeed,
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw out the ace,
The counting cards to save;
Some play the deuce and some the ten,
But many play the knaye.
Some play for money. some for fun,
And some for worldly lame,
But not until the games played out
Can they count up their gain.
When hearts are trump we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour;
Nothoughts OF sorrow check our Joy
In beauty's rosy bower.
We sing, we dance. sweet verses make,
Our cards at random play,
And while one trump remains at top
Our games holiday.
When diamonds chance TO crown the top,
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won,
BY gamblers !oGng and old.
Intent on winning each his game
Doth watch with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbors cards,
And beat them on the sly.
When clubs are trump look out for war
On ocean and on land;
Fer bloody horrors always come
When clubs are held in hand.
Last game of all is when the spade
Is turned by hand of Time.
lie always deals the closing game,
In every age and cline.
No matters how much each man wins,
Or how much each may save,
The spade will finish up the game,
And dig the players grave.
