THE TAIL OF THE TALE.
Mr. Cole Closes His Side Of the CauSeWay
Controversy.

Nis. Ep1Ton-I see Mr. Horton and his
''cracker" makes another effort in your IS
sue Of 10th inst. They leave the subject en-
tirely, and enter into ridicule. His ''crack'
eE' has made him employ so many big
words, namely: horoscope, Lllilputlan,
eonable. nondescript, ferociously, 7apor'
! ines, sulphurous, conslomeratlon, coadlu'
tor, philosophize, spleen, pleiGdes, venom,
that I am almost afraid to venture reply.

once heard story of e monkey having
too much tail. 1t ran in this way: Two op-
posing tribes of monkeys were at war with
each other In o battle fought, one of the
leaders was killed, and no one was found
to take MS place. at last one Of the mon
keys agreed to take command provided he
should be furnished every thing he should
want A council of wa- was called, and his
request agreed to- when, to their surprise,
the monkey-leader wanted more tail. Ten
wards was furnished, but he insisted:
'sMore tail" They continued TO furnish,
, until at last winding the tail around his
neck and over his back he became disabled
by having his back broken, and another
leader had to be sought for. Whether it be
bad grammar or not, evidently there is an
abundance of tale in this controversy, and
not desiring 10 continue it any further, I
shall close. Very truly yours,
e. J. COLE.

Handling the Truth yerr CareIessly.

Edmund Harvln, a gentleman of color
from the Fork section, approached rs last
Saturday, begging for an aims, jnasmuch as
he had a week before lost his place b. fire,
tie value being about $4,000 The negro
went on protesting that he was telling the
truth, etc. We thought this was a heavy
loss for negro, and began to make IN
quiries. He said he had lost everything.
We asked him about the size Of his house.
He said his dwelling was a two story, six
rooms house, but thish ad not burned. We
got him finally to til US that he bad lost his
barn containing about 80 bushels corn, l5
bushels pease, cwt. fodder, and some other
little things he said not worth mentioning.
This be put down ct $1,000 in value! Ed
mnnd has not and never will have any such
dwelling as be described, and his loss by
fire was very insignificant, he being given,
so we have since learned, to exaSeration Of
facts and distortion Of the trnth. As soon
as Edmund found out we were going to
publish what he had told US, he sloped Oil,
and refused to talk further.

PINE WOOD KNOTS.

PNEwooD, April l2.-Jh'. G7tor:-Pine-

don't believe it, take the train from Man

YOU down in the denizen forest. We invite
emirrants to come and abide with us; all
good citizens can find home, with cheer
full welcome. Messrs. McLaurin and Ma
son are live men, full Of energy, for in one
short month they have built five new cot
tages. These cottages front the public road,
giving the road the appearance of a wide
street. We of all things need q postothce;
our nearest is Fulton. We frequently re-
sort to Packsville, and sometimes to Pamela.
Every effort is being made to get Mr.. c. L.
Griffin appointed postmaster at this place.
A large petition has been sent to the Post
master General to have him appointed.
Fulton will then be discontinued. \ daily

brief account Of the farmers generally
this week with various other matters of 10

did I rub my back against acollege.R This
is my apology 70 the public for not knowing
better Both of our educational qualifca-
tions are so akin that unless we get Scott
free we will never make book. Then why
prophesy? I shudder at the comparison.
Such sophistry reminds me of our rcbber
Governor when lecturing on religion, or the
devil when lecturing Christ. Is ignorance
grammar? The community Will judge my
brother to have his equal share, for "a fellow
feeling makes US wondrous kind" If I were
capable Of giving advice how willingly
would I say: Brother, Jake by no means
feels offended because you cannot see your
self as others see you" You should never

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an indaDed condition Of the
mucus lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused By catarrh,
which is nothing but an inHamed condition
CT the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that 50
cannot cure by taking Halls caterrl cure.

Opinions Regarding the Vote of Confidence
Taken on Friday.

PARIS, Feb. 1T is the general i'm
preston to-day that the chamber of depu-

before the general elections, which will
not occur until October.
A majority in the division on the vote
expressing confidence in the government
yesterday was composed of Republicans.
The minority included 169 members of the
Right, fourteen Boulangerists and fifty
six Republicans.
The Radical journals congratulate the
members of that party that crisis has
been avoided. They claim the minis
terial question was solved by the vote.
The Opportunists organs declare the gov
ernment has been merely respited for a
time. The BOulangists papers consider
the government as lost.
