Chattanooga Times, Special.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE
proposition pending in the legislature
TO give "The Hermitage" for twenty
five years as soldiers home is very
generally supported except by those
who think the historic value of the
place would be injured thereby. A
meeting was held this afternoon at
the Maxwell house looking to the
perfecting of an organization to
purchase, preserve and perpetuate
The Hermitage" as state and ma
tional memorial to Jackson. Those
who are advocating the home talked
the matter over and agreed to a prop
Osition whereby both will be accom-
modated. The compromise plan pro-
posed is that "The Hermitage" asso-
cation buy the homestead, the grave
and 200 acres for the state at the
states own price. The other 800
acres and the amount realized from
the sale it is proposed the legislature
vote to the Confederate home associa-
ton, the ground being sufficient and
the money enough to erect the neces-
sary buildings. Both will urge the
the Legislature to appropriate the
grounds for the purposes indicated.
Committees were appointed to meet
tomorrow and agree on a plan of op.
rratiOn.

Go Slow.

The Columbia Herald gives the
Legislature lot of good advice, from
which we extract the following:
Run from a lobbyist as you would
from a leper, but lookout that you
don't run into the arms of a cantering
demagogue. For we warn you that
much of this talk about railroads,
trusts and such like is by class of
slick artists who have axes to grind,
and expect to sharpen them with the
oil of prejudice.
Of course, if you can make impossi.
BILE certain combinations commonly
called trusts, do it; by all manner of
means do it. But remember all the
while that manufactures and manu-
features are necessary nuisances, and
it would hardly be wise to legislate
them out of existence.
And these domineer;ng railroads
are rather convenient at times. They
are not pure and holy by any means,
but they have repented many of their
sins and are doing fairly well, don't
you think? They only charge three
cents mile where they used to
charge five, and freights have been
correspondingly reduced. In times
of yellow fever epidemics they come
in right handy to haul people over
the country free of charge. If you
are sure you can expurge a great
wrong, why of course wade in, but
don't get up a big row to accomplish
comparatively nothing.
Now you have elected all your Off
GERS, throw politics to the dogs anG
give us practical business legislation
y registration law that will make
pure our elections; a road law thai
will make good our highways; anC
whatever laws you do pass, further
legislate to have them enforced. &c
slow. Do less work and do it bettel
than your predecessors have.

DEALING IN FUTURES.

The little boys of a well. known
gentleman of this city devoted con-
siderable attention TO the raising of
ducks, their father taking all they
can raise at the usual market price
when they are grown.
Recently one Of the boys aged
about 10 approached his father and
told him he wished to sell him a
brace of fine ducks well grown at 35
cents each-for future delivery. The
father being absorbed in some per-
picking legal question being a law
yer-olosed the contract-paid over
the price agreed although it was
ten cents each more than he had

replied the father-"How was it you

The son replied Well, sir, you
know futures" are often higher
than ''spots" in market quotations;
and the rule holds good in ducks as
we'll as in cotton, grain or other pro-
duce," and the answer was so shrewd
that the astute father had to ac-

THE TATTLER.

What is a tattler? A vile leach,
sapping the life blood of human hap
piness. A black, greedy vulture
feasting upon the carrion of society.
\ busy-body who listens gleefuliy to
anything harsh you may say of your
neighbor, either pettishly or in a
joke, and then carries it magnifed
and patched up to suit himself, and
pours it scorching hot into the ears
of, perhaps your best friend, and af-
ter succeeding in getting him or her
to say something equally as harsh
returns to you laden with his pre-
cious burden Of strife and adds fuel
to the smoldering fire. Thus, little
by little this ghoul of human society,
flches the happiness of human
friendship and develops between the
kindness of neighbors and the best
of friends, a feeling of hatred which
should be known only to the bosom
of demons. Are you tattler? Do
you SOW among your neighbors the
seed CT discord and hate? If so, in
the name of humanity. let us beg you
to desist. We are all liable to err,
all too apt to say in a moment of
sudden passion or in silly joke,
things calculated to deeply wound
the heart OF neighbor; things which
an hour afterwards, in a moment of
cool reflection, We may heartily wish
unsaid. But.deeper is the sin and
thicker is the crime of him who,
taking our weakness for his capital,
effects the destruction of the happi-
ness of his neighbor at his interest.

Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE!

Is marriage a failure? In many
individual cases, yes; in the great
aggregate of human experience, no.
We cannot allow it to be a failure.
1t is the anchor which saves a man
from shipwreck. 1t is the harbor
into which woman guides her boat
to find peace and safety from lite's
storms. The history of all that is
greatest and best in the world
records many failures, but the eter-
nal principles of right move on with
the resistless and unchanging males
ty of the stars in their course.
Dare we look into the innocent eyes
of childhood and allow ourselves to
debate this subject? If but for one
instant we compare the conditions
that surround the child born in we'd
lock to the child born without; if we
contrast the situation OF the moth
ers of these two children, we receive
an answer to this question that
should forever end the argument

A DOlRLE LESSON.

following stray bits, found floating
unclaimed upon the sea of Journal
ism. If parents and teachers will
only stop to dig out the truth Git is
not far below the surface; either,
and then apply it in the training of
children, they %ill find that this
practical method of teaching the
Golden Rule, or any other rule, for
that matter, results in far more
fruitful impression than the mere
enuncistion of "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you"
be il a thousand times reiterated. 1t
contains lesson well worth learn
ing by both parents and children;

In appearance the beer drinker
may be the picture of health, but in
reality he is most incapable of re-
sisting disease. A slight injury, a
severe cold or a shock to the body
or mind will commonly provoke
acute disease, ending fatally. Com
pared with other inebriates who use
different kinds of alcohol, he is more
incurable and more generally dis.
eased. 1t is our observation that
beer drinking in this country pro.
duces the very lowest kind o.
inebriety, c osely allied to crimina
insanity. The most dangerous elias.
of ruffians in our large cities are
beer drinkers. Intellectually {
stupor amounting almost to paralysis
arrests the reason, changing all tn,
higher faculties into a mere animal
ism, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied
only with paroxysms of anger, sense
less and brutal.

The New York Daily Times says,
Southern stocks are likely to be
made particularly conspicuous soon
if the present bull market is to be
an abiding one. The Louisville and
Nashville's big earnings are a fair
criterion of showings TO be made for
almost every railway property in
the South. Every southern crop is
big, the cotton yield is in both
quantity and quality beyond every
record, and the iron industry is
livelier AID more profitable than
ever. This condition means abound
ing business for the railways, with
rates much above any that have
been recently obtainable.'
