posted the following notice to employ

the company can obtain cash through
the banks as heretofore or they can stop

Kelly Says

The silver dollar is greater than old
few days ago when Kelly said the silver
dollar was as good as gold the people
thought he must have one of those fts of
temporary insanity he talks so much
about but we see that the New York
market to-day has proved that Kelly was
right. The silver:dollAr sold at $1.04 on
the New York market to-day; gold only
sold for S1.02f. Another black eye for the
editor who says the silver dollar is worth
only IS cents, and this knocks the presi-
dents message out of sight.

a fifty cent piece will buy the following

The Loyal MOuntaineers.

r. p, a soldier of the Fifteenth Army
Corps, writing from Culpeper County,
Virginia, to the National Tribune, of
Washington, d. c., says: Soldiers have
you ever noticed that there has never
been break in the enormous majori-
ties these loyal mountaineers roll up
since the warY Why? They know
what loyalty cost They have not for
gotten, as is the case with far too many
of us, that this was political war, and
is going on just the same, on exactly
the same issues, only with ballots in
stead of bullets. Has any one ever
found among these hardy mountaineers
an element that is so common among
our soldiers North, and known as
freaks, frauds, fads, fanatics. popnlists,
prohibitionists, etc? No, they are not
affiliated with mugwnmpery, green
backerY, tariff reform. In these de-
generate days, when old fashioned pa
trlotism seems to be on the decline.
and when we need so much to call
back the spirits of Lincoln and Grant,
and Morton and Ben Wade, and Thad
Stevens and Brownlow, we commend
the ex-soldiers of the Nation to the
loyal, self sacrificing heroes of East
Tennessee, where patriotism still exists
in its original purity"

group of listeners in North Carolina,
and stated that, in fact, Avery evinced
a high degree of bravery, "for," said
he, few living men could have SO long
faced the towering form and terrible
martial expression of jackson as he
advanced"
1t was added, that the whole thing
was at once explained to Avery, sup
plemented by good-humored apol-
ogy from jackson; but it was said that
Avery never forgave either Jackson or
the two lawyers who played the part
of friends and advisers in that first and
perhaps only regular duel ever fought
in Washington county.
This calls to mind another fact con-
nected with Jackson's early visits to
this county, which will merely refer
to, and, possibly it will refresh the
memories of some old residents so as
to resurrect quite chapter of Incl
dents.
Some two and one half miles north
west of johnson City, and five and one
half miles north east of Jonesborough
is an old homestead farm that has been
known as the old King place. Mr..
Broyles now occupies the old place.
On this farm and a part of the farm
owned by j. NJ. Reeves was race track
one mile long extending along a
level valley which curved in the
form of new moon. In the early
history of the county, dating back
llO years, or more, this track was
extensively used for training and run
ming fast horses. Horse racing was
then, and for many years later, lead
ing sport of the county. Jackson was
very fond of it; and, in his visits to
Jonesborough, often spent a week, or
more, as the guest of King and engag-
ing in the sport of the track. Who,
from memory or tradition, can give
incidents of this old sporting ground?

Boys Idea of an Editor.

A schoolboy in Loerabaya, India,
was asked to describe an editor of a
paper. He did so in this way:
IAN editor is the luckiest man in
the world. He can go to executions
and other nice things. He has free
tickets to all the theaters, receives
presents at his office, and gets his ears
boxed, too. He goes also to Prigen,
Malang, or Lawang places of amuse-
mentl. He does not do this often,
however. In one paper he can deny
everything that was said in the pre-.
vious one, and he does so, as rule.
When other people are already in bed
the editor is still up. When l grow
big l shall become an editor. Then
can stay up, too. New York Journal

Almost Raised From tbe Dead.

Thomas johnson writes us the recent
exposure gave him terrible cold; the
cold, a bad cough, and the cough
gave him what his friends thought to
be consumption. He was induced to
buy bottle of Symphyx, keeping his
bowels open with Dr. Hart's Blood and
Liver Pills. He says in two weeks he
was nearly as well as ever and that he
considers himself as almost raised from

and red hair of a woolly texture.
Specimens of them are occasionally
to be seen in the markets of Sala-
manca, and there is said to be a mum
Der in the Col de Tosas and the valley
of Ribas, several hours by rail from
Toulouse. 1t is not improbable that
the Mongolian eye, which is observed
in a small percentage of Welsh and
English people, is derived by inherit
ance from the Iberian pyg1nies or a
common ancestry. -Cassel's Maya

Catching a wildcat In Ones Hands.

The wild jungle cats of southern
India are tall. long legged, bold and
dangerous animals. One of them
was prevented from doing serious in
jury to General Hamilton by the
skill he had acquired in catching
cricket balls.
The cat came to the cantonment
prowling after fowls. The dogs were
set on its track, and for some time
there was an exciting chase among
the hedges which divided the Off
GERS quarters.
Then there came long check, the
dogs having lost the scent. Hamil-
ton at last espied the cat squatting
in a hedge and called the dogs.
When they came, he knelt down and
began clapping his hands and cheer
ing them on. Suddenly the cat
sprang at his face, but he caught it
as one would cricket ball, gave its
ribs strong squeeze and threw it to
the dogs.
The cat had made its teeth meet in
his arm, and for weeks he carried it
in a sling. g.-Youth's Companion.

Marry in Lent,
Perpetual Motion Reward.

l am often asked the question,
How much money do the different
governments of the world offer for
the discovery of perpetual motions
To all such / invariably give this an
swer: There is no patent law relative
to perpetual motion machines. Nei-
ther is there fixed sum of money Of
fered by any government for the in-
vention of such an unheard of con-
trivance. AS early as 1775-11S years
ago-the French Academy of Sciences
refused to even consider the claims
of the SO called perpetual motion in
ventors. A valuable reference work
before me in making mention of
those who are experimenting in that
direction says: "They have an idea
that some immense government re-
ward has for years been laid aside
for the successful inventor. Unhap-

A PArIaIan Idea

An entirely Partisan idea is the
project TO erect in different parts of
Paris statues of the women who have
been reigning beauties in that city,
either in past generations or in the
present. The idea of the protector Is
that beauty should not be the only
consideration in the selection Of mod
els, but finish of costume should be
carefully considered" 1t might do
10 have annual balls for the selection
of a lady who shall be honored by
the erection of a statue at the public
expense. Philadelphia Press.
