Sage Sayings.

The apple you mustn't have always
looks the sweetest.
Words hurt more than blows and
heal more than balsams.
People do not grow In grace by
looking at the faults Of others.
Discomfort is the want OF self-rs-
lance; it is infrinity Of will
A lie Is one degree worse than the
sin which il tries TO conceal
We lose the peace Of years when
We hunt after therapture OF moments.
That mans end is easy and happy
whom death find with weak body
and strong soul
There are two many people ia the
church who won't march unless they
can be at the head Of the procession.
There are people who never give
away any milk until after they skim
it, and then they want credit for
cream. 1t is easy to be merry when
the heart is light; bat the true phil
osopher is he who can make sunshine
on cloudy day.
The end of hearing and learning L.
not TO fill our heads with notions OF
our mouths with talk, but TO rectify
and direct our affections and cony-r.
sations.

Correspondence Leaf-Chronicle.l
Quite a strange freak of the light
ming happened upon the farm OF
Brad Martin during the recent
freshet. He has near his house q
field of tobacco, part of which is in
hollow between two hills. The hills
on both sides of this low ground are
covered with trees. The lightning
struck a plant of tobacco in this hol-
low and literally burned it up. The
current of electricity then passed
into the ground, making a round
hole about two inches in diameter,
and so deep that it seemed to be in
search of the immortal, but Inflated
McGinty. The tobacco for an area OF
about one hundred square yards was
destroyed, the effects of the current
passing out and reaching all the sur
rounding plants. The strange thing
about the matter is, that the current
was not attracted by the surrounding
trees, but on the contrary, came
down through their midst and took
effect on the tobacco.

special 10 the Leaf-ChrOniclel
NASHVILLE, Sept. 3.-The chief
matter of interest in the Legislature
to. day was a heated discussion OF the
penitentiary lease system and the re-
cent troubles at Briceville.
Mr.. Jones introduced a resolution
asking that committee be appoint
ed to investigate reports that Labor
Commissioner Ford and his assistant
representative, Alleman, were in a
measure responsible for the recent
trouble between the Briceville mi
ners and the prison lesses. Mr.. Allie
man himself demanded the reading
of the resolution and asked that the
committee be appointed, which was
done.
A heated discussion arose over a
resolution of Mr.. Johnson, of Mont
gomery. 1t sets forth that, under
the constitution, this Legislature has
no power to abrogate or in any way
amend the existing lease. This
brought out a debate of the entire
lease system, the prison management
and the troubles at Briceville. Pend
ing its consideration the house adj

the rose red color of certain of its solutions,
is also 94OO per pound. Vanadium, deriv-
ing its title from one Of the appellations
of the Scandinavian goddess, Freya, and
at one time considered the rarest of me-
tallic elements, has been reduced In price
to 9375 per pound, at which value there
will no doubt be many eager buyers. Irid-
