The Eiffel tower in Paris has been
supplied with two small cannon, one
of which is fired each day at the
hour of opening the great Exposition,
and the other at the hour of closing
it. This arrangement recalls to the
Chicago News the story of the great
philosopher who cut a hole through
his door to permit his cat to pass
through freely and a smaller hole fol
the convenience of his cats kitten
An ordinary person would have sup
posed that one gun fired twice a day
would be as good as two fired sepa
rately.

We read and hear of a great many
wonderful inventions nowadays, and
consequently are not much surprised
at anything, but it is doubtful if any
body can be found who will take the
following statement without some al
lowances: at is reported that a pro.
cess has been invented for extracting
silk fibre from the mulberry Leaf
without the intervention of the silk
worm. The quality of the silk OBJ.
tanned is declared to be equal to the
best silkworm product. 1t is ar
American invention, and if success
full, as is anticipated, will work 6
revolution in the production of silk

Arrow Poison.

According to Mr.. Stanley, the ar
row poison nsed by the natives Of the
Lower Congo is made from species
of red ants found in that locality.
The ants are dried, crushed into pow
der and cooked in palm oil. The eX-
ceedingly irritating properties of the
poison are supposed to be due to
formic acid.

The farmer ought not to be
ashamed of his calling, neither should
he cause his fields to be ashamed of
him. He ought to put on his think

He ought to use sense and judgement,

that needs proper use of these two
virtues, it is the farmers.

matter with which the Legislature has
nothing in its official capacity to
do. A two hours wrangle then
ensued over proposition to furnish each

pense ten copies OF a daily paper published
in this city containing accurate reports Of

resolution was favored by Wadsworth Of

Yesterday introduced in the Senate bill
providing Tor the rciunding Of the deposits
Of the State Bank To the dcpositors who
have been dciraudc1 Of their dues for
twcniy.thrce yca-s. This is a step toward
larly Justice. But we regret to see that
dcposi,oT who served rs civil aud military
officers Of the Conicdcmcy are exempted
from the operations Of It's provisions.
This, It appears 10 IA, Is unjust The
state has no moro right To conGsc,lc a
mans property because at her command
hc followed her out Of the Union
aud into the Conlcicrncy and served
both during lhc civil war; than she has 10
say she will not refund the deposits, aud
thus levy war tax upon the dcposi,on
exclusively. Tennessee, great State,
should always bc an example Of justice
aud honesty TO her citizens.
