Unanimously Adopted In the Rail- +
road Convention in Knoxville.
Apr. 8.
At the mass convention in Knox
vile April Bird with representatives
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia
North and South Carolina, when
the Ohio River, Knoxville and
Tidewater Railroad was properiy'a
begun, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There is without
question necessity and demand
for a line of railway extending from
the coal fields of Kentucky and
Tennessee to Tidewater;
WHEREAS, This has been so clearly
recognized for the past fifty years
that various efforts have BEEN
made to construct such a railway,
lines have been located and much
work has been done towards con-
struction
WHEREAS, The reasons for fail
ure in each case, heretofore, have
been exceptional and in no way
implied any change in the con-
ditions demanding the road;
WHEREAS, These reasons being
now stronger than ever, from the
fact that the mineral and other
resources of the various States
through which the road should
pass have been developed,
and have been found to be richer
than ever anticipated, an unlimited
market for coal and timber awaits
the construction of this road at
'ridewater; and,
WHEREAS, The number OF enter.
prises that would absorb capital
with an assurance of absolute GER
tainty and profit are more limited
than heretofore; therefore,
Resolved, That the time has
come to build this road, the con-
ditions being more favorable than
ever before.
Resolved, That this convention,
having heard the plan proposed by
Col. Albert f. Boone, cordially en-
dorse the same, believing that his
proposals are reasonable and such
that promise success.
Resolued, That having investi-
gated the record of Col. Boone, we
believe he comes to this wcrk,sfully
equipped by ability and large ex-
perince to carry to successful
issue his plans.
Resolred, That we for ourselves,
and the sections we represent,
pledge Col. Boone our enthusiastic
support, and that we recommend
the raising and expenditure, of such
preliminary funds as may be neces'
sary to put this road in shape to
be considered rs by the CAPT.
talists who will be asked to. take its
bonds.

taining Oxygen.
Physicians have been withheld
from using oxygen to a large ex-
tent, because .of the difficulty in
getting the article in its purity, and
also from the cumbrOus means of
its manufacture. With the Elec-
tropoise system is presented
which obtains oxygen in abundance
in its entire purity, and with no
trouble or expense. The oxygen In
the air was created for man, hence,
of all sorts, atmospheric oxygen is
probably best fitted for mans use,
and this the Electr0poise supplies,
enabling the patient to receive it
by skin absorption, and certainly
giving to The lungs an enlarged
capacity for its reception and dis
posal.
FAVOURABLE"
We know that is sounds quackish
to talk about the EIectroposse cur.
ing Observation-Disclosures, but bear in
mind the fact that it is the old
treatment which has prOnour ced
the case incurable. We do not
make the claim, that we can cure
all so-caIled incurable diseases, but
we do maintain with all earnest
ness that case pronounced in
durable by your family physician,
is splendid field for the operation
of the Electropois,. 1t may be just
the treatment nessary and is quite
likely to be so. If it fails, this is nc
argument against the "Poise," but
in such case, the fact of the physi.
clans statment is proven to be true
But many's the patient who has
been given up by his physician who
has sgain received life through
treatment of the Elcctropoise.

FRETTING UNDER THE LAW.

There is said to be law in Massa-
chusetts making it an offense TO give
away any object or thing as an induce
ment to purchase other things; for ex-
ample, to give away picture with
every certain amount of other things
purchased. There was once law
which made it an offense for man to
kiss his wife ON Sunday, but was
strangely silent about kissing some
other mans wife. Many a man still
living can remember when it was not
permissible to open the theatres in Bos-
ton on Saturday evenings, and there
was a law to punish any dissipated in.
dividual found smoking on the street.
Some of these fantastic old legal freaks
have been done away with, but there
are some communities which, like
some individuals, require quite an un'
considerable time to get wide awake. -

member the shade of an African wood
land is not the shade Of England, and
coats are doffed and fastened to the
saddle bows. That is a mistake, as
will presently be seen.
The two men now separate. Within
ten minutes one Of them, peering
through the trees, sees in front of him
what, between the glare and the play
of light and shade, he takes to be the
stem of an old withered thorn tree. 1t
moves. That is no thorn tree, but
merely the long neck of an old giraffe
bull, which has taken alarm and, with
its fellow, swings round and is away
on the instant. The bush hereabouts
is horribly dense and thorny, and the
thorns are of suoh nature that the
strongest cord breeches can scarcely
Withstand their assaults. The old
bulls, with hides nearly an inch thick.
care for no thorn in the forest, and
plunge through the armed thickets as
though they were black -cuIrant bushes.
There is only one thing to be done; to
forget the sickle thorns and follow
them. The spurs go in, the gallant
pony springs forward, and the chase
begins. 1t is truly headlong. Crash
go the tall giants. their long necks
rising and falling rythmioally, their
heads sometimes bending low to escape
bough which all but sorapes the
withers. 1t is wonderful how such
mostrous game can evade branches,
and tack this way and that among the
Interruptions and obstacles Of the for
est. 1t is tough gallop. indeed. but
in ten minutes the hunter has driven
his pony right up to the tail of the
nearest bull, and, from the saddle,
has fired his shot, He falls behind a
little, then closes up and fires again.
Both bullets, planted oicse to the root
of the tail, have plowed deep into the
short body Of the giraffe and done their
work. The painted giant falters,
sways, and then in an instant falls
crashing to the earth, carrying with
him in his ruin a stout sapling. Dark
chestnuts of coat (almost black with
age upon the back.) this old bull, meas
uring nineteen feet from the hoof to
the tip of the false horns, forms noble
prize indeed. AS he lies there in the
long yellow grass, he looks surely the
strangest of all survivals of the fauna
of the drak ages; priceless and
pathetic relic, left to the modern world
by the ravages of time.

SEALING IN LABRADOR.

Late in February the Newfoundland
sealing steamers break through the ice
in st. Johns harbor, and make their
way to some northern outposts, lying
there until March 10. the earliest date
on which the law allows them to "go
to the ice" They stand out to sea
until they meet the immense fields OF
ice from the Arctic Ocean. These
fields are often many square miles in
extent, and fairly TEEN with seals. A
great seal hunter told me that the sea
seemed suddenly coverted into an ocean
of seals and ice. The steamer breaks
into the jam and floats with it OF
skirts along the edge, the crew, 200 OF
800 in number, taking to the floating
ice and living there for days and
nights.
The young seals fatten co rapidly
that sealers say you can actually see
them grow while you are looking al
them. The poor creatures are easily
killed, blow with the butt end OF a
gaff finishing them. The hunter then

and hauls them aboard with donkey

The Newfoundland seal-hunters al
ways speak of seals as "swiles. aEt

A school master, who had been listen

FRANKS OF FLORIDA WOOD.RATS.

The latest narrative of the queer do
ings Of the Florida wood-rat. the best
known of them all, comes from Mrs.
G. f. Latham. of Micco. Florida. Pre-
yious to the destruction by fire of the
old Oak Lodge. year before last, it was
often visited by a pair of very sociable
and quite harmless wood rats, who
nested in palmetto hut near by, and
made it their home until some cats
came into the family. The wood-rats
were big eyed, harmless creatures
without the vicious look of common
rat. with fine, yellowish-g fur,
white feet, and white under parts. In
asmuch as they never destroyed any
thing save pair of Mrs Latham's
shoe strings. which they had to cut in
order to get them out of the eyelet-
holes, they were tolerated about the
premises. and here are some Of the
queer things they did.
They carried some watermelon seeds
from the lower floor, and hid them up
stairs under Mr.. Baxter's pillow. In
the kitchen they found some cucumber
seeds, and of these they took table,
spoonful and deposited them in the
pocket of Mr.. Baxter's vest, which
hung upstairs ON nail. In one night
they took eighty-five pieces of wood
from box of beehive fixtures, and laid
them in a oornbox. The following
night they took about two Quarts of
corn and oats, and put it into the box
from which the beehive fixtues came
Once Mrs Latham missed a handful
of pecans. and they were so thoroughly
hidden that she never found them.
About year later the rats realized
that Mrs. Latham had "given it up, !"
and 10! the pecans suddenly appeared
one day upon her bed!-Prof. 7. Horn

THE USES OF CHARCOAL.

Charcoal is one of the most remark
able articles in common use, and pos
sesses many qualities not generally un-
derstood by the laity. AS an absorb
ent of bad odors it has no equal.
Placed around articles of food it pre-
vents decay and preserves them for a
time in all their freshness. In fine
powder it is one of the most perfect
dressings for malignant wounds and
those where proud flesh is present. AS
a cure for headache it is invaluable. u
teaspoonful in half glass of water Of
ten affording immediate relief. The
power of charcoal to absorb gases is not
generally appreciated. 1t will take up
and hold thirty volumes of ammonia,
forty of nitrous oxide, sixtyfive of sui
phurous acid and eighty-ive of hydro
chloric acid Some of these gases may
be withdrawn and used at will. The
storage value of charcoal, while it is
just becoming known to practical work
ers. has already opened many avenues
of future usefulness.

was found at some distance from the
post, on is back.
None Of the generals received any
injury except to their uniforms. In
deed they persented rather demoral-
lied appearance when the experiment
was over. l understand that they re-
ported against the adoption of the gun,
which is not astonishing when the
circumstances of its trial are taken into
consideration.
The death of the enormously wealthy
Russian philanthropist, M. de Tego-
row, at Moscow will probably have the
effect of opening to the public the great
baths which nine years ago he caused
to be constructed under the shadow of
the Kremlin walls. Not only was pro-
vision made for the classes, but also for
the masses, while tho clothes of each
bather who desired it were to be
washed and ironed free of cost.
M. de Tegorow spent many million
rubles in the erection and furnishing
of this establishment, which was to
have been thrown open ON Jan. /, 1855.
Dismayed, however, by the prospect
Of too much cleanliness. the gypsies de-
termined to devote all their efforts to
frustrate the excellent intentions of the
philanthropic millionaire, and conse-
quently an old woman who had be-
sought him to permit her to tell his
fortune warned him that he would die
on the day that the baths were opened.
Like all his countrymen, M. de Tego-
row was extremely supersti tious. and
the dismal prophecy resulted in the
huge structure with all its magnificent
appointments remaining unopened and
unused. Meanwhile, the object of the
gypsies had aeen attained, for nobody
would invest money in the construo-
tion of other baths while any possibility
of the opening of those built by M. de
Tegorow remained. The result Is that
Moscow and its citizens have lived up
to their reputation Of being the dirtiest
city and the most uncleanly people not
only in the empire but in all Europe.
1t is likely, however, that before the
summer comes the establishment will
be in full operation. .-Marquise de

A CURIOUS BATTLE.

II. ". WdlUoTS, llVluR Ill ouO loWOi
edge Of Alexandria, had the misfortune
to be robbed of his horse during the
last week of December. Being unable
to institute search for the animal
during the unprecedented cold weather
which followed his departure and hav-
ing had no special need to invest in
another horse, Walters stable has re-
mained empty for the past three
months.
On going out the other day to see
what repairs might be needed in the
stall for the accommodation of another
horse, Walters found that spry
young pullet had taken possession of
one end of the feed box, made her a
nest and laid quite a generous supply
of understood eggs. He took out all
but the nest egg and thought nothing
more about the pullet and her offerings
until to-day, when he again had occa-
sion to go in the stable As he came
within the neighborhood Of the barn
yard he heard hen cackling and cat
screaming in such frantic manner
that he fastened to the stable to see if
anything serious was happt ming to the
pullet. Opening the door suddenly he
beheld a queer battle well onder way
in the feed box.
Since his former visit it transpired
that an old gray cat had taken up her
abode in the opposite end Of the box,
depositing fourishing family of
kittens, which had not yet arrived at
the open-eyed stage of existence. But
this is anticipating. What Walters
saw most conspicuously was big
black chicken snake, with three or four
Jumps showing prominently in his
anatomy, marking the last resting place
of so many Of the young pullet's eggs,
outside of which he had just comforta
bly, put himself. But therein ended
that snakes comfort surely, for he was
trying to get out Of the way to the
tune of double quick, but, of course,
his internal possession hampered his
movements, and, besides. the old cat
and the young pullet were aiding
nightly to his discontinue.
Taking advantage Of the snake s

worth. pecking and clawing and
scratching and biting until the air was
murky with flying fur and feathers.
When Walters appeared upon the scene
of action he says the cat and pullet
were certainly getting the best of the
conflict, and the snake seemed to be
decidedly mot in it," Pretty soon,
however, lusty blow from the cats
paw broke one of the eggs within the
snakes "littie inside" and the old
fellow "kind of eased down" and took
long breath. Presently another
hump disappeared, then another and
another, till all the eggs were broken
and the snake was in state of genel al
collapse, with raw eggs streaming out
of his moth.
His spirits, however, rose, as is
abdomen sank, and, by and by, she
seemed to feel thrill of Ii fe along his
keel and turned in his wrath anG
would have made short work of demol
ishing that gay young pullet. in spite
of the cats kindly interference in hel
behalf, had not Walters gone quickly
to the rescue and put an end to the
snakes earthly career. Special to the
Times.

good recommendations, but we can
not commend the clause obligatinR
the state to pay $40 per month to
the convicts family during his i'm

self shall not be permitted to earn

what is produced BY his labor.
Such g. provision would cause a
heavy and unjust taxation upon
the state, and there can be no good
reason why the Taxpayers OF the
