Change and Monotony.

While some will never submit to
any monotony, but live in a contin-
ual rush of changes, thereby bunting
the power for good Of any change,
others are so concentrated in their
thoughts and feelings that they find
it impossible to direct them into any
unaccustomed channel when the
proper time comes. They have by
constant habit become so welded to
monotony, that they have lost the
power to appreciate the natural and
legitimate delights of change. Where
ever they go, they carry their bur-
dens and cares with them. In the
midst of all Natures charms they
have neither eye for her beauties nor
ear for her harmOnies; they are liv-
ing over and over again their busi-
ness details, regretting past mistakes,
making new plans-living, in fact,
the same monotonous life that they
did all the preceding months, Their
vacation is mere hyphen-nothing
in itself, and only used to connect
what has been with what will be.

Jackson s Statue.

n ashville Banner.
Tennesseans will commend the ac-
ton of Senator Bate in protesting
against the placing Of the Lafayette
statue in Lafayette Square so as to
hide Gen. Jackson's statue from pub
lie view. We are pleased to learn
from the Banners special correspon-
dent in Washington that Senator
Bates action meets with general ap~
proval in that city. The people of
this Nation, and especially the peO-
pie of Tennessee, will delight to do
honor to the memory of Lafayette,
but there is ample room in Washing
ton for his statue without Obscuring
that of the great Tennesseean. 1t
was not in Old Hickory's nature to
content himself with obscurity, and
Tennesseans can never consent to
have his monument in Washington
obscured by that Of any other man.

George washington's Coat Buttons

From a profusely illustrated article
in the May Century, by William
Armstrong, on "Some New Wash
ingtOn Relics" we quote.as follows:
"In connection with the conch.shell
buttons shown in an accompanying
illustration, the story is told of Gen
eral Washington that one day, while
walking alone in the streets of Phila-
delphia, he was accosted by a poor
Italian, who, ignorant of the person
ality addressed, continued to follow
and importune him to buy some of
the conch shells which he carried in
a basket on his arm, and which he
persisted were the only things that
he had in the world to dispose of.
But, my good man. demonstrated
General Washington, what would /
do with your conch shells? ] have
no use for them 'Oh, yes, you
have came the ready rejoinder.
you might have them made into
buttons for your coat Smiling at
his prompt reply, Washington not
only purchased the shells, but, the
better to further the advice, took
them at once to his tailor, and, di-
recting them to be riveted, ordered a
brown velvet coat, that their espe-
cial usefulness might be straight
way demonstrated.

IT is an admitted fact among OBJ
serving men of all shades of political
opinion, that the Democratic news
papers, both North and South, are
the most widely read journals in this
country. While Republicans in high
and low stations pin their political
faith to the g. o. p, they look to the
Democratic press for the news, and
even for general information con-
corning their own party. They can
not help but realize how unreliable
and stale thing Republican news
paper is.
