TtE TENNESSEE TROUBLE.
Militia aud Convicts Leave for the Mfnea.
Serious Trouble Anticipated.

Militia aud Convicts Leave for the Mines.
Serious Trouble Anticipated.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 4.-The
standing army Of tennessee, composed
of l0s men, three months supplies, gat-
ling guns and regulation outfit, left for
the mines on special train, under COM
mand of Brigadier General Carnes and
Adjutant General Norman. The bat
talon will be swelled by numbers until
possibly $50 men are enlisted when they
reach the scene of the recent trouble.
Three hundred convicts were on the
train and will be put to work in the
mines again. The stockades have been
rebuilt and enlarged and the miners
will have serious opposition in reaching
them if hostilities are renewed. Cen
erals Carnes and Norman are empowered
to make a draft on tho state for volun-
teers in case serious trouble is ex-
pected.
The opinion over the state is that
when the miners find what has been
done they win arm themselves
and sweep the handful Of soldiers off
the earth. OF the eG1 conyicts WIN
were in the uprising at Briceville, Oliver
Springs and Collier, over 800 are still at
large. Special correspondents accom-
panied the troops in anticipation Of
trouble. Tennessee has become the
laughing stock of her sister states on
account OF the weakness of Governor
Buchanan who is trembling in his shoes
now for fear the state troops viii be at
tackled again. Rumcrs have reached
here that the miners had heard Of the
coming of special train and conspired
to wreck it and release the conyicts.
This news was sent to Governor Bu-
chanan who notified General Norman
and every caro- will be taken 20 prevent
this.
BUFFALO, MINI, Jan. S.--lnere viii

there Is no doubt bat what it will be

A PROSPEROUS PEAsANTRY.

The British Consul at Patras, in his report
on the trade Of Morea for 1891, gives an in
teresting account of the condition of the la
bouring classes and peasantry in the Pelop0n-
nesus, which he describes as very satisfactory.
Poverty is unknown to them, for, owing to the
sparse population and The large amount OF
labour required for the cultivation, prepara-
ton, and shipment # the curran' crop, wages
are very high, and there being plenty OF en-
ployment for young and old of both sexes, IA
miles earl enough TO enable them to live in
comparative comfort. The working classes
and peasant proprietors are, as a rule, abstemi-
GUS and thrifty, incompetence Is very rare
amongst them, distilled liquors are avoided,
aud the wine of the country is used IN modera-
ton. The desire to obtain land and house
property is very strong, and owing to their
careful and thrifty habits they are generally
able to satisfy this craving, and there is scarce
ly a family which does not own a small cot
tage or a plot of land or vineyard, which sup
plies oil, olives, wine, or corn, and grazing for
a few goats or sheep. The Greek peasant by
nature is bright ard cheerful and'his condition
might be described as superior to that OF any
similar class III the world.-Times.

READ THIS YE, TOPERs.

The Revd. Madison c. Peters of the Bloom
ingdale Church, at the Boulevard and Sixty
eighth street, gave an interesting I%leoturo
on Samples from Sample Rooms" recently.
Mr.. Peters began by saying that in Deem
Der he visited a dozen Of the best kept liquor
stores in the neighbourhood and bought pint
samples of their best gin, whiskey. brandy,
port wine, sherry, &c. These he had taken
to expert chemists for careful analysis.
"In the sample Of pure Holland gin" said
he, we found neutral spirits, rotten corn,
juniper berries, .turpentine and vitriol; ne
dropped the white of an egg and an oyster,
both easily digestible articles, into this COM
pound and saw them shrivel up into hard,
stringy masses. This shows how nicely a drop
of gin aids digestion. In the sample of fine
old hand made Kentucky whiskey," he IN
tinued, we found neutral spirits, glycerlne,
sulphats Of zinc, chronic acid, ~creosote, unSlack-
ed lime and fusel oil. Now fifteen drachms
of fusel oil evaporated in u box will make
the toughest cat you can put IN that box IN
sensible in less than an hour.
'But the port wine,' said Mr.. Peters,
'that rich, fruity drink which solid respecta-
bility is proud TO take after dinner-that was
the worst Of all. What do yon think we
found in the best sample that could buy?
Well, there was naturally acid, glyoerine.
liquorice, zinc. mercury, and ether. muriatlc

acid and alum.
Il have statistics to show that one hundred
times more imported wine is sold than can DO
fromallthe grapes inOporto. Iii the itr
with all other wines. Madeira produces 80,
900 barrels of wine per year and America
alone drinks $4,000 barrels Of Madeira wine
in that time"
III the best Lagerbeer he could get Mr.. Pc
tiers says there were discovered pepper, ginger,
vinegar, capsicum, cream oftartar; a%cetic, nj
trio, ~tartaric, sulphuric, and acetic ether, spi-
rit of nitre, the oils of v@itriol, turpentine and
cassia; cara way seed, cloves. JaPonic extract,
bitter almonds, orris root, grains Of Para

COST OF SUPERSTITION.

"What is the value Of superstition in this
age p asked a gentleman the Grand.
Mine people out of ten would say it cuts no
figure in finance, but there never was a great
or mistake. Just to illustrate the point it is
only necessary to call attention to the fact
that on the street railroad lines the receipts
per car are on the average from 81 TO IS
smaller on Friday than on the other days of
the week, The cause is plain. There are in
this city thousands of people who will
not move about on Friday because of the
superstition connected with the day, and ss q
consequence the street car companies suffer.
Inquiry develops the fact also that the same
conditions apply to steam roads and steamer
lines, and it is found that their ticket receipts
fall off heavily on that day."-Son FrGnstsc@

The weather during the past week has
become distinctly warmer. 1t also continues
in most parts Of the island very dry. There
have, however, been some promising showers
during the week, for example on Monday IN
the North. west, when Annaly had 9 lines,

Sion Hill and the neighbourhood, and on
Wednesday there was a fine shower through
the central part of the island. The Factory

ENCOURAGEMENTS TO FLOWER

1000 persons, to say nothing of a host of

who knew the inclination and susceptabilities
of the people. A good deal might be said of
the inperfections Of the Show, but a great deal

How Coal Was First Named.

Curiously the word coal was in use long
before as well SIS long after the commence
ment of the coal trade, with a meaning
quite different from that which it now has.
The term originally belonged to wood fuel
and was applied in particular to wood
which had been charred Or what is now
called charcoal.
When the trade in mineral coal began
this was usually distinguished by the sin
gular name of sea coal. 1t would seem that
from having been gathered in early times
on the seashore, more especially of North
cumberland, along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this pecu-
liar substance was supposed to be of ma
rine origin. From this circumstance and
its resemblance to wood coal in color and
burning properties it obtained the name
Of sea coal, by which it was 50 long and 50
widely known. Then in the course of
time, as this new fuel gained upon and
superseded the old, the simple name of
coal became universally tri nsferred to it.

The Woman Who Eats.

Have you ever seen her-the woman vino

museum nothing so remarkable was ever
seen. She generally lives at a hotel run on
the American plan, and evidently feels in
duty bound to take everything on the bill
of fare in order to get her moneys worth
1t never occurs to her TO skip one single
thing. yet every meal she studies the menu
with an interest as absorbing as though
she were only 10 be allowed one portion,
and that one size was determined TO have
the best. When this exhaustive survey is
finished she leans back in her chair, looks
up at the waiter in attendance with coy,
sweet smile and says, u viii commence

If there was anything ahead of oysters
for her to begin with she would do so, for
she Is a systematic feeder and Will 20 on

til the weary waiter confides to Il sympa-

ion that she i the india rubber girl.
Whgu at last the finishing sip of coffee
has been swallowed, she dips her fingers
in the bowl of water near at hand, gathers
up what she has not eaten of the fruit and
passes ont, leaving the waiter to wonder at
