Practical Joking In England.

Americans do not understand prac-
tical joking IN the same sense that it
is understood in England. Practical
jokers who tried their pranks in the
United States would probably receive
a reception that might astonisl them.
In England practical joking seems to
be the sllInmum bonum OF many mems
lives.
At II country lrusc in England there
is certain to be Il good deal of practical
joking, particularly if there is one man
who is considered SLOW" In Kent,
not long ago, when Il cricket week was
in progress, a guest had the bad luck
to incur the i'll will OF the rest of the

An ONYX Vein In the OZarks.

Large deposits of onyx have been
found in the Ozark mountains, only u
short distance from st. Louis. The
only onyx in the market has hitherto
come from Puebla, Mexico, SO the dis
covery of this new vein is of consider
able commercial Importance. Onyx
is very valuable, selling for from
three dollars to fifteen dollars per
cubic foot. the buyer taking the risk
of possible flaws below the surface.
In mining it no powder can be used, so
holes are drilled in rows and wooden
plugs inserted These are then caused
to swell by soaking in warm water, and
a solid mass of the desired size is thus
separated without danger. The onyx
is reached through a wide mouthed
cave in the mountain side, SO it can be
marketed at very slight expense. New

HE ESCAPED THE DEATH PENALTY.
A Confederate Sentenced to BE Sh
Evxtles His Union CaPtOrs.

A Confederate Sentenced t" BE Shot
Eva,les His Union Captors.
II have one man under sentence OF
death for smuggling arms across the
lines, and hope Mr.. Lincoln will ap-
prove it," This sentence was contained
In the letter from General Sherman to
his brother, John Sherman, written
from Memphis, Tenn, under date of
Aug. l3, 1868, and published since the
generals death.
The man whose death sentence was
referred to by General Sherman is M.
A. Miller, an ex-captain of engineers in
tln Confederate army, who lives on a
farm in IIenrico county. near this city.
Captain Miller has narrated the story
of his wonderful escape from the doom
that awaited him. Says the captain:
ut was such sudden thing the way
IN which was first made aware of the
seriousness of my position. 1t was one
afternoon late in July, 1862, while l
was in Federal prison in Memphis,
Tenn. that n friend of mine, n Miss Glib
son. who had been to call on me,
whispered, Lieutenant, you are under
sentence of death and are to be shot at
an early day. Take my advice and get
away from here before they put the
bracelets on your wrists and sh;sckles
on your ankles, for then you will be
totally disabled and can do nothing
"Mr Lincoln did approve the SEN
tence of death, but am still here while
he and General Sherman have gone to
Join Lee and ecllson and other good
soldiers. When Sherman first took
possession of Memphis he issued an
order declaring gold, medicines and
salt contrabands, and a. such prohibit
ed their sale to the people. But his
orders were practically ignored and we
got anything we wanted.
For month | was steadily supply
ing our soldiers with arms, and met
with no serious difficulty. But one
afternoon in July my good luck de-
serted me. | was carrying over two
boxes of officers swords, and was in
the middle of the river when n picket
boat ran up to me. | ut once knew
that danger was ahead and jumping
on the gunwales of the boat tried to
sink it. But the skitf was too heavy
and would not dip. The officer in change
of the picket boat arrested me and the
sklr man also, and took us with the
two boxes to a gunboat near by.
"Therc the boxes were opened and
as soon as the nature of their contents
was disclosed was ut once carried to
the military prison in the Irving block,
in the center of the city"
Miller describes his trial by court
mart ial, conviction and sentence to be
shot the Friday following the Monday
of his conviction. Of his escape the
captain says that he induced his guard,
who was not aware Of the gravity of
his sentence, to let him go home to see
his sick child While in the house he
went upstairs, jumped out of window
and fled through the lines, Atlanta

That body of picturesque incompe
tents, the Tennessee Legislature, afraid
that they would not be returned to the
fleshpots if they done so noble and
worthy thing, measuring the liberal
ity and patriotism Of the people by
their own, refused to vote an appro-
priation for the Worlds Fair. This
act was only needed to prove their
utter, disgraceiul incapacity to dispose
wisely and probably OF questions af-
fecting the public welfare. Now, after
the Legislature has, by the limitations
OF law, been forced to separate them
selves from the substantial blandish.

entertainments Of Nashville "wine,

ed to their homes after in exhileIating
season OF observation-disclosures
with their per diem, mileage, perqui-
sites and railroad passes in their
pockets the board of managers for
Tennessee are working up the move
ment to secure the necessary amount
by private subscription. Ata meeting
called by Gov. Buchanan, it was de-
cided to call upon different cities
and towns for contributions in the
ratio Of their assessed property valua-
ton and likewise upon the various
railroads, public interpretations, and
iron, coal and other interests. And we
would suggest that those members Of
the Legislature, (and they are all well
KNOWN, who spent their time in dis
sipation and in obstructing needed
legislation, be called upon to return tC
the people, in the way of contributions
to the Worlds Fair fund, a part, a
least, Of the large sum of mony they
received for services never rendered.
The Legislature put upon the gen
erous and proud-spirited people 0
Tennessee the stigma OF illiberalit.
and niggardliness. They said to tn,
world, we do not represent patriotic
intelligent and prosperous people; on
constituency takes no interest an,
pride in the marvellous development
OF human genius and activity and dc
sires no part in the mighty achieN
ments of human industry and entel

spouse to the appeals Of the board {
managers, the people OF Tenness,

The Land of Promise,

Northern capital has poured into
the South this year in constant
stream. 1t has become generally
known to the wealthy men of the North
that the South is the most inviting
and promising field for the investment
of their idle millions The farms Of
the Northwest are mortgaged for all
they are worth, and the farms in New
England are being abandoned by the
hundreds, and three per cent. is the
best that these moneyed men can get
at present in those sections where they
have made colossal fortunes by loan
ing money. Their unneeded wealth
must lie in the vaults or seek some 9th
er field FOR safe investment than the
West and the North. The West has
been over-boomed and over-worked
Exclusively agricultural, and not per
mitted to have reciprocity, in the ex
change OF its enormous surplus, with

foreign nations, it has been ruined by
the prevailing low prices Of the home
market. The East is full of wild spec
ulatlons and risky ventures, and finan-
cial wisdom steers clear OF these GARY
fabrics OF an unsubstantial dream"
Town lots on paper only, railroads that
have no existence, save on maps, and
rich mines in No Mans Land have
lost their power to charm and attract
The capitalists are turning away
from the exhausted regions OF the East
and West and giving their attention to
the much abused and thoroughly de-
spised South. They find here natu-
raj field for investment. To their
amazement they find that our people
are civilized, and not a community Of
pistol swingers and dagger artists.
They want to come and are welcome.
The South is a most attractive field for
their operations. 1t has golden oppor
tunities, the richest promises and SUI
perior advantages. Its climate is a
paradise OF genial warmth and invigo
ration. Its soil is generous, producing
in abundance all the great grain sta.
pies and cotton enough to Glothe mum,
berless millions. Its magnificent for
ests are still in their primeval glory
and grandeur. It's mineral stores are
superior in quality and exhaustless il
quantity. The people are hopeful

WHEN SCHOOL Is OUT.

Did YOU ever hear rush and a roar,
Such as you have never heard before?
If you haven't, pray you pass the door
OF the public school when school is DER,
A cataract cleft with the thunder-clOud
A demon dancing about in a shroud,
A thousand wild animals believing aloud,
Could make no more noise than this rollickinl
crowd,
Gay little rebels sparkling with fun,
Half resenting that school has begun;
Away they start on a race and run,
And laughing gayly every onel
And we who pass by the school house door,
And hear the rush and maddening roar,
Sigh that our own school-days are Ger
And long to run and shout once more

groves and cotton fields to the Worlds
Fair, but one hundred thousand dol
lars beside, Tennessee is worth ten
times as much as "the Aowery land,
and should advertise herself in this
miniature of the worlds productions
by an expenditure of a half million
dollars. A less sum will not do her
justice. Let not our failure at the
Philadelphia Centennial, with all its
burning disgraces, be repeated at Chi
cago Every Tennesseean at the cen
tennial exposition felt his nerves give
way and his heart sink within him as
he looked at the display of his State,
and hied himself as quickly as possi-
BILE from this solitude to the vast
throngs surging around other dis
plays.
We feel assured that Johnson City
will not suffer her proud name for
public spirtedness and enterprise to be
Swallowed by, at least, partial failure
She has n great interest at stake, and
when called upon by the board Of
Tennessee managers will show to the
world her wonted pluck and generous
impulses. She ought to be made the
centre of a large area contributing
together-say Washington, Carter
Johnson, Unicoi and Sullivan. The
industrial enterprises embraced within
this area should subscribe literally ac
cording to their means, and the PEG
pie, (and who will not be?) who are tt
be benefited by the development o
the country, should seize and improv
this opportunityto bring the resources
of the country to the notice OF tn
world.
The Centenniel was worth million
to the country. The Worlds FAIR wi
be worth inconceivably more.
