JOHNSON CITY, February 10.-Prof.
Felix L. Oswold, the scientist, who
lived for the past TIVE years as her
NIT on Holston mountain near Eliza
bethton, packed up his grip, his box
OF monkeys and snakes few days
ago, and took his departure as silently
and mysteriously as he came.
1t is said that a woman who has fig
ured extensively in the history OF the
great naturalist, was the cause OF his
sudden departure. A few days ago the
woman appeared in Elizabethton and
made inquiries about the Professor
and his lonely hut on the mountain
top. Securing the information de.
sired, she left for the top OF Holston's.
II is said that when she reached there
the hermitage was deserted, Prof. Ga
wald having heard OF her coming. 1t
is not known where he has gone, nor
what became OF the woman after her
return to Elizabethton from the noun
tain top. Whether the woman is his
wife, or a heartless Nemesis constant.
ly upon his trail is not known, but il
is fact that he deserted his retreat in
the Chilhowee mountains near Mont
vale several years ago because Of hei
approach.

Judge Chandler Not a Candidate.
EDITOR COMET:
A correspondent in the Knoxville
Journal writes that | am "favorably
spoken Of for the mayoralty Of this
town." and ! owe it to myself to say
promptly, that while / appreciate the
good opinion OF my neighbors, ! am
not candidate, and will not be, for
any Office within their gift.
! tried to point out last week that
a political city election would be ca
lamity to the town, and | say now that
any contest between opposing candi'
dates will result in no good. Let there
be only one ticket, composed Of the
liveliest men in the town who can be
induced to accept place on it, and
when elected let the whole people
stand at their backs and hold up their
hands. This is no time to reward
friends with office, or to vote for a
good fellow. We are all agreed that
some improvement in the present
condition of things is greatly to be de-
sired-that errors must he corrected
COMMISSIONS supplied-and the great.
est possible vigor infused into the city
government. The spirit OF a vigor-
GUS and pushing city administration
become contagious. but the people
are apparently already in advance Of
their authorities. They spend tn ir
money freely il not always wisely.
The money invested last year in store
houses MT presently needed, if loaned
70 the city and put into school aouses
and streets, or If put into industries
that would bring people TO the town,
and give them employment, would
have put the city in condition to
defy hard money markets, and the
delay in building our railroads. We
must make the vim, push and wisdom
OF the city government an example
for the people.
II it be trHe, as reported, that a
number of citizens are wishing to
serve the public, and are becoming
candidates, some sort OF meeting o.
the people will be necessary TO put
the best possible ticket for Mayor and
Aldermen. Let mass meeting be
held at some suitable time, and let al
our best people Attended, all con
flicting interests and claims be har
monized-all parts of the town fairly
epresented-and harmony cannot
fail to b, secured, and the city put or
the road to splendid development.
Respectfully,
g. g. CHANDLER.

The pension sharks made no mis-
take in counting upon the assistance
of the Republican Senators, to cut out
the reduction in fees placed in the
pension appropriation bill by the
House. The Senate made the attor-
neys fee for all future increases OF
pension So, instead of 80, as the House
had it, and upon motion of Mr.. Quay
the new fee is only applicable to appli'
cations filed after this bill becomes a
law. That motion, If not interferred
with by the House, is estimated to be
worth more than 100000 to the
pension attorneys.

1t ia not long until the municipal
election, and no steps have been taken
to put a ticket in the field. johnson
City has reached that period when it
needs practical, sensible end energetic
men in the council, and they can only
be- selected in a mass convention OF
the citizens. Unless some action is
taken election day will arrive and we
will be asked TO vote for lot OF self
appointed candidates who, perhaps,
have not the interests OF the city en-
tire at heart. Let the citizens get to-
gether, lay politics aside, and nomi'
nate good man for mayor and seven
more for aldermen. The COMET has
no choice, but would suggest that toe
much care cannot be exercised in the
selection of candidate for mayor
Either of the following, whose names
have been mentioned in that connec
lion, would serve the city well in that
capacity; Judge G. G. Chandler, F. A
Stratton, Robert Burrow, Gen. J. I
Wilder, VIM. G. Mathes, A. B. Bow
man and w. NJ. Christian. The alder
men should be selected from different
parts of the city and should represent
the whole people.

Facing Toward Free Trade.

Facing Toward Free Trade.
New York Herald
President Harrison's treaty with
Brazil is step in the right direction.
Free trade with that Republic must
prove benefit to everybody concern.
ed. 1t will bring the two nations into
closer relations, open our markets to
their products and open their markets
to our manufactures.
We make our compliments to Mr..
Harrison. The doctrine of protection
on which he was elected has not re.
suited in the national prosperity which
was promised. The Mckinley bill is
admitted to be sham and humbug.
The ante.plection oratory, with its ef.
florescent buncombe, is pronounced a
cheat and a lie. The home market,
which they told us would give the
working classes purple and fine linen
at a nominal rate, raise wages to the
maximum and reduce the price Of
groceries to the minimum, is the Pc
tered out delusion OF crank in politi-
cal economy, and the very man who
went to the White House on this homo
market fanaticism is now trying to
induce Rio Janeiro merchants and
American mill owners to trade with
each other.
All right. While the lamp holds out
to burn the most frantic protectionist
may return. Free trade with Brazil il
good Democracy, and we are glad to
see Mr.. Harrison swing round to
sound orthodox policies. 1t is even
limited that he contemplated opening
the markets OF all South America to
our business enterprise and that the
day is not far distant when we shall
trade in them without let or hin
drance. That is agreeable news. We
, shall welcome the President and Mr.
Blaine into the Democratic household
when their eyes are still further open
ed and they are ready to confess the
error OF their past lives. OF course
they are honest enough not to sail un
der false colors, will, therefore, repudi
ate the folly of the Chicago platform
proclaim their conversion to free trade
and ask 70 be proposed as members O!
3 the great Democratic party.
I Free trade with Brazil is q gooC
thing? Free trade with all the South
. ern republics is a good thing2 Their
why not extend its limits and give III
free trade in every market Of thu
worldY The logic OF the situation is a
cheering as it is memorable. II thil

oar HIgh School.

Since the first OF the year there has
been added to our public schools
High School Department, in which
are taught Bookkeeping, Algebra,
Latin, Rhetoric, and all the branches
usually included in the grade. Only
the most modern and best approved
methods of instruction are used, and
it is the intention to build up High
School equal in thorougnness and
scope to that of any city in the State.
Written examinations are held FIRE,
quently, the examination papers being
permanently filed away in binder
kept for that purpose, These papers
are open to the inspection OF the pub
lie at any and all times, and show not
only the extent and nature OF groun |
covered, but the degree of proficiency
attained by each scholar.
The present High School class,
though small in point Of numbers, Is
deserving of praise for their energy
and progress. In regard to discipline
no such thing as compulsicn is used
The members of the class are consid
cred as having passed that stage wher
it was necessary, and are spoken Il
and treated as young ladies and gen
tlemen. While any distinction o
names would be unjust, it may prop
; erly be stated that several student
have given evidence OF marked ability
and their examination papers com
; pare fsvorably with those of many al

There seems to be no reason VIII
our young people should go off to er

. system is now capable OF qualifyin
pupils to enter any of the regular CO

If reciprocity is right with Brazil,

Brazil is poor buyer. We sell to
her about $11 100000 worth year, and
buy from her $6O,000,OO0. Such was
the record OF 1890, and there is no
prospect of any material increase in
