The Bank of America.

This institution is not in Wall
street. Its area is Co-eXtensive with
that of the land we live in. Geolo-
gists differ as to the date when its
foundations were laid and how
deep they reach, nobody can tell,
The bank of America is its marvellous
soil, surcharged with undeveloped
deposits. Millions of fortunes in the
rough lie in its vaults and crypts and
rOck-ribbed strong boxes. All the
drafts that enterprise and industry
directed by science can make upon
it for centuries to come are as sure to
be honored as the sun is to shine,
No paper currency however IRE
dundant," can represent its reserved
capital, for the amount transcends all
estimate. Talk of a soil that when
tickled with hoe laughs a flower
That's a trife. Tickle California
with pick-axe, and she laughs gold
Give Idaho dig in the ribs with 6
shovel, and she smiles silver. Raise
the lid of Alabama, and a peal O.
merriment exults in Der hidden
treasures. Probe Pennsylvania with
big auger, and she spouts oil. Per
forate the earth almost anywhere be
tween Maine and Mexico, and you
will get some cheering, pocketSflline
mineral manifestation.
If we are little eXtravagant as &
nation, who can blame us, with soliC
and fluid treasures cropping out anC
bubbling up in almost miraculous
profusiOn in nearly all the States anC
Territories of the Union ? A fig fol
alchemy /! Nature herself is in the &C
of projection. " Her crucibles arr
full. All we have to do is to breal
through the roof to her grand labra
tory and help ourselves.

The Road Congress.

Mai. B. M. Hord, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, has issued the following
letter to the Chairmen of the County
Courts:
"In February this year this bureau
published statement made up from
the reports of the County Trustees,
which shows the annual outlay for
the maintenance of common high
ways in the State to exceed 1885,
600. That this immense outlay has
not brought the desired improve
ments of our roads is we'll known.
"Upon the invitation cfthe County
Court of Davidson County a road
congress will assemble in Nashville
Aug. 26, 1890, and the several county
courts have been asked to send dele
gates to this congress.
If the appointment of delegates
from your county has not already
been made, 1 respectfully ask you to
do so at next quarterly meeting, and
suggest that the very best men be
chosen who will certainly attend this
assembly. Representative men
from all parts of the State, coming
together for a definite purpose, will
accomplish great good for the State
by devising such methods of road
Improvement as should soon enable
the farmer of Tennessee to realize in
full the superior advantages of hel
commanding geographical position
and her varied soils and produc,
TONS"
We hope the Warren County Cour
will take this matter under consider
at its July term, and appoint dele
gates to the congress.

Starting a Balky Horse.

On Friday afternoon young man
drove up East Main Street on the
car tracks, says the Rochester DEM
ocrat." He had One-horse wagon
and a load of hemlock slabs. When
he got about halfway up East Main
Street hill his horse baked. There
was a row of street cars behind him
which reached to the four corners in
few minutes, and every driver was
leaning out from his platform and
yelling more or less emphatically at
the young man to start his horse.
The young man climbed down
from the wagon and tried to start the
horse. He coaxed, swore, tried to
lead and then to push the horse along
but to no purpose. THE animal want
ed a vacation, and wanted it right
away.
Meantime crowd had collected on
the sidewalk and yelled:
"Twist his tall"
"Build a fire under him !"
"Put pepper in his nose /! "
"Stick pin in him !"
"Club him !"
"Get a whisp of hay and lead him.
Glitch team to him!"
"Blow smoke in his ears!"
BY this lime the street cars drivers
were frantic, but the horse did MOI
seem to care. He never moved
Finally an old farmer came down the
walk, stopped, saw what was the
matter, and went up to where the
horse stood. He reached up to the
horses head and stuck his fingers
down in enc of the horses ears.
The effect was almost instanta
neous. The horse started up instant'
ly and the street cars moved OF
again.

They are passing away-the old
fashioned negroes of the ante-bellum
Southland the places which knew
them once will soon know them no
more forever. They will in few
years be entirely supplanted by a
progeny little like their ancestors.
The old plantation-"de white folks
house"-the negro quarters-the
family ties which bound the two
races together in bonds of affection
and tender consideration which one
must have experienced to appreciate
gone, all gone!
Old massa, old missus and the
young massas and misses. What a
happy family! And who ever MOURN
ed with more unfeigned grief than
the old family servants the breaking
up Of the family when "old massa"
died? Alas, it always fell upon the
former with bitterness born of the
uncertain fate which awaited them
afterwards!
But they are fast dying out; the
old plantation songs have faded from
the lips on which alone they were
musical, which no other conditions
may ever realize. Did you ever see
the long procession of family serv-
ants-fifty or hundred or more
follow the coffin which bore cole
massa' to his last resting place?
Down in the cornfeld,
Hear dat mournful sound;
All de darkies am a.weeping,
Massa's in de cold, cold ground
Talk about the negro dialect! No
writer has ever Appropriated it I'M
less he was born and reared on the
old Southern plantation from child
hood to age.
And Christmas times "befO' dc

Lees Statue.

The Washington Post of May 29th,
the day on which the equestrian
statue of Gen. Lee was unveiled at
Richmond, spoke editorially Of the
affair in the following liberal man
ner:
Lee was a soldier and a gentleman
in the highest sense of both terms,
despite the fact that he took up arms
against the Government, under a
mistaken sense of superior duty to his
State. He possessed in remarkable
degree those qualities of character
which command respect and win es-
TEEN. He was citizen upon whose
private life rests no reproach, and the
South is not alone in her opinion Of
his greatness and goodness. The
standard by which true manhood is
measured is a universal, not mere
ly local or sectional standard.
The Post is not of those who hold
that because of the South's hostility
to the Federal Union she is thereby
debarred from paying memorial
tribute to her fallen leaders or that
because the issues of the war on
which she fought and lost are dead,
the brave men who fought and lost
with her should therefore be buried
in neglected graves and out of re
membrane.
1t is not in human nature that they
should be. 1t casts no imputatior
upon the loyalty of the South to the
restored Union that they are not.
PitifuI indeed would be the spec
tacle were the South so forgetful o
her distinguished soldiers as not t
celebrate their virtues and keep thei
memories green. Then indeed .wer,
her honesty to be questioned and hel
self-confessed humiliation to be DIES
pissed, and the value of her citizen
ship to be discounted. The South i
simply doing what any other peopl
of ordinary pride in themselve
would do under similar circumstan
ces.
The Southern people have accepte,
the results of the war. The lost caus
is no more, nor ever more to be. ]
is a living cause for which they ar
now contending, and in view of tn
wonderful progress they have mad
in the last twenty-five years, of tn
sturdy, self-reliant capacity the
have developed, of the READINGS
with which they bear whatever bur
den the Government imposes upo
them, of the unquestionable alacrit
with which they would rally to tn
defense of that Government were
once in peril, it will require some
thing more than their veneration fo
Robert E. Lee to convince us tha
they are not sincere in their devc
ton to the old flag, or that beneat
professions of loyalty they conceal
reasonable purpose.
So let the statue be unveiled in a
its majestic proportions, midst must,
oratory, and heroic ode. 1t will M
endanger the liberties of the peopl,
1t will cause no patriot to draw bs
ted breath. 1t will shock no mani
sensibility. 1t will simply sho'
that the South retains a grateful al
preciatOn of her noblest son, an
commends his name to the muse
history as worthy of exalted perpet,
alton.

A DRUG CLERKS MISTAKE.
He Sold Deadly Poison by Mistake
Which May Prove Fatal.

Julius Schaidermandel, a New York
drug clerk, has been arrested at the
instance of the board of health. charged
with having mistakenly sold deadly
drugs. Two weeks ago John b. Nc
CURE went to his store and ordered
five cents worth of powdered licorice
for use as medicine for his wife. The
clerk sold the licoIice. which was done
up with proper label on the outside.
The woman and a niece of hers took
some OF the powder and in short time
they were both taken sick. The wo-
men became partially supplied, and
when the doctor was called in they
were both suffering from weak action
of the heart. The women's life being
in danger, the husband went to the
drug store and asked the clerk what
he had given in the parcel, and the
clerk tried to snatch what was left of
it from the mans hand. Mcclure then
took the powder to the board of health.
Here the doctors found that it was Il
deadly poison that had been put up.
1t was pure digitalis. Experiments
made on dogs and rabbits with the
drug showed that the action OF the
heart was affected and they soon died.
Mrs. Mcclure is permanently injured
by the powder and the doctor says that
1T is only a question of time when she
will be dead,

How brave Men Died.

IL was ut the battle Of Mobile bay,
Aug. ., 1864, that Admiral Farragut
was dashed to the main yard, up to
which no had climbed in order to be
above the smoke and so be able to over
see the operations of the fleet. All the
world has heard of the admiraPs cour-
age, but comparatively few will, per-
haps. so much rs remember the name
of man who, in this same battle, per-
formed deed Of still nober heroism,
says the Youths Companion.
Dir. Hutchinson, in his account Of the
battle, says that the Confederate ram
Tennessee started out from behind Fort
Morgan Just before the head of the
federal fleet was abreast OF 1t, intending
to attack the ships one by one. On re-
ceiylng two or three broadsides, how
ever, she changed her course and ran
back, closely followed by the federal
monitor Tecumseh. AS the Tecumseh
neared the fort, pounding away at the
ram with 15-inch solid shot, she struck
n floating torpedo and exploded IT. As
was afterward ascertained by the divers,
the explosion tore u hole in her bottom
more than 30 feet square, and she sank
like stone, turning over as she went
down in eight fathoms of water. BY
this frightful disaster 10 out of 12O
men were lost in Ia single instant. Com
mander Tunis A. Nj. Craven, one OF the
most gallant officers in the service, lost
his life through his noble disregard of
self. He was in the pilot house with
the pilot, close to the only opening in
the whole ship, and this only large
enough to allow one man to pass at
once. Capt. Craven was already partly
out, when the pilot grasped him by the
leg aud cried, Let me go out first,
captain, for Gods sake! have five lit
tie chldren!" The captain drew back,
saving, "Go on, sir, and went down
with the ship, while the pilot was saved.
A week aiterward, when the divers ex-
amined the wreck, they found nearly
all the crew Mt their posts, just as they
had sank. Tie chief engineer, who had
been married in New York only two
weeks before, and who had received
from the lagship's mail his letters as
the line was forming, stood with one
hand upon the revolving bar OF the
turret engine, while the other held an
open lie ter from his bride, which his
dead eyes still seemed to be reading.
