An Old School Democrat.

Our esteemed correspondent who
writes from Big Rock, Stewart
county, over the signature of
Farmer" says: "I noted a para
graph in the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
which says w. M. Daniel, of Clarks-
vile, is being appealed to to an
nounce himself as a candidate for
governor. He has not, however,
seen proper to do so. Now it is the
opinion of Democrats in this county,
who know him well, that Mr.. Daniel
will not see proper to do so, from the
fact that he is an old school Demo
crat and believes in the doctrine
of letting the Office seek
the man, and not the man seek
the Office. And if the conven-
ton sees proper to nominate him
without his solicitation, he is pa
triotic citizen and could not refuse to
accept the honor. Otherwise, Mr..
Daniel will never be governor of the
great State of Tennessee"
If our people were not given to so
much sensationalism, following
after men of noisy pretenses, seeking
Office, and would return to the old
landmarks looking to principles,
and select leaders who entertain
these old school notions in regard to
the fitness of men to fill places of
high honor and trust, rather than
men who regard an office as thing
to be traded for, then we would be
able to return to honest and econOmi-
cal government, having the laws adj
ministered with equal justice to all.
Will our brethren of the rural dis
tricts who claim to be conservative
and are organized for the purpose of
lettering their condition, take this
view Of the situation, attend the
county conventions and send dele
gates to the State convention to Sc
lect an old school Democrat for gov
ernOr? Or will they be led off as
usual and divided by the several
flashy booms of selfapplauded merit
and much noisy pretense, in which
there is nothing? We shall see after
the State convention what virtue
there is in the farmers union for
that reformation which the organiza-
ton lays claim to, and whether or
not its leadership is wisely guided
by pure motives, looking to the good
of all, or is simply using the order as
machine for place hunters. There
are plenty of good men such as Mr..
Daniel to be had-men who are every
way qualified to fill places of high
trust, and why will Democrats suf-
fer themselves dragged into contest
of choosing man from a set of
scramblers to fill the dignified place
of governor of Tennessee =?

Yesterday was engaged in hoasework,

how terribly ounces are supposed to stain
and blacken the hands. For days and days,
under the old thought l have worn upon
my fingers the dark stains made by pairing
ounces. Well, as l worked over these
ounces yesterday, pairing, quartering,
handling them, / thought, How foolish,
now, to suppose that these unreal, unsub-
stantial, nonresident things should stain
my handsP and resolved that they should
not stain my hands, and that would not
look at my fingers until my work was over,
and then would find them perfectly clean,

When the Scientist" had reached the
stage Of the tomatoes the women of the
audience began to look wonderingly and
significantly at one another; and when she
announced the miracle handkerchiefs were
stuffed into mouths all over the little hall,
and chests were heaving with suppressed
laughter. Being in considerable part
housewives, the ladies knew that in the
nature of mere material things the juice
of tomatoes will wash away and utterly re
move the stain of any other fruit whatso-
ever, and that, after cutting up tomatoes,
not a vestige of the ounce stain could
have been left upon the woman's hands,

"Where is the clerk who issues marriage
Hcenses?" demanded q middle aged, buxom
woman, stepping up to the railing in the
office Of the clerk of the district court
''Where is the clerk? We want a license,
and we want it quick, too"
Eyes, we want it quick, echoed young
man, who followed the woman in, in much
the same fashion as child would follow its
mother when she was leading the way to
some place he was afraid to go alone.
License Clerk johnson was on his feet in
a second, ready to issue dozen licenses, if
necessary. The couple began conversing
with him, and he finally asked the pros
pective husband:
Don't you think married life is some
thing of a failure, after all?"
Before the blushing youth could reply
the woman, who, by the way, appeared
about fifteen years his senior, brushed him
aside, and raising her voice a few octRyes
replied:
Young man, don't you go and poke any
fun at us. have been married before, and
can say from personal experience that mar
riage is not u failure"
Marriage is not a failure" came the
echo again.
"You keep quiet, snapped the woman,
turning to her escort. II know all the
ropes, and I'll get this license and do all of
the talking necessary"
The young man subsidized, and after his
soon to be bride had paid for the license
followed her meekly out, like a lamb being
led to the slaughter. Minneapolis Times.

recent stvIes in Stationery.

The stationery of the day is nothing if it
isn't startling and bizarre. The extreme of
the mode is heavy paper of bright scarlet,
upon which the writer's name is embossed
in black fac-simile of her own handwrit-
ing. Correspondence cards for the families
of country houses have etched corners
showing the most picturesque portion of
their ancestral homes. Fair maidens in the
JOY of their first betrothal use paper and
cards with pansies in pairs at the top. There
is a cobweb paper in which a busy spider
has apparently spun a dainty web all over
rose pink or leaf green surface, and
wedgewood paper, on which the writing is
done with u peculiar kind of white ink, and
all manner of kid finished, cloth surfaced
papers on which you can write only with
dull pointed pen or quill, owing to its rough
ness. As for the writing, it has accom-
plished the old task of squaring the circle;
no curves must slip in; no lines of beauty
waver, but angular and erect, and the more
illegible and puzzling it is the more dis
tingue and swagger it is considered. -New

w. M, Duncan Talks.

VIM. M. Duncan has returned from
New York and has been interviewed
by the American in regard to mat
tiers concerning the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railway Company. Mr..
Duncan says reports are not true re-
garding a misunderstanding between
Plat and Alger, that they are on the
best of terms, as are Plat and John
Inman. Gen'l. Alger sent in his
resignation as director some months
ago, and not on account of any mis-
understanding or recent political
charges brought against the cOmpa-
nv. Mr.. Duncan admits that he has
been approached by parties wanting
to buy his interest and that of others
in the American for the controlling
stock of the paper, but he has de-
clined to sell the paper, and no eff
forts on the part of those wanting it
will ever succeed in buying his in
terest through any newspaper twad-
die, or any other effort to annoy him
in his possession of the property.
He bought it because he thought it
cheap and had since been offered
more than double what the paper
cost him, and ne thinks it worth
three times its original cost as bust
ness enterprise.

Cycling Bad for the Young.

DIR. Richardson admits that since he first
warned us of the dangers of immoderate
cycling changes have taken place in the con-
struction of both bicycles and tricycles which
materially modify the old drawbacks. He is
still, however, of opinion that cycling should
never be practiced by boys and girls, since it
differs from other excuses in the fact that
it molds the bodily framework, as It were,
to it's own mode of notion and riders in
course of time almost invariably acquire
what he calls the Cyclists figure which
is not graceful, and is not indicative OF the
possession Of perfectly balanced powers. In
brief, this eminent sanitary authority is con-
WINGED that Mr.. Punchs picture of the de-
formed skeleton of the cyclist of the future,
though overdrawn, was not altogether wide
Of the mark. OF two things at least he is
satisfied. They are that the temptation Of
competition is to an earnest and practiced
cyclist a demon of danger" and that the
systematic pursuit of cycling should never be
fully commenced before the age Of 2l.-Lon-
