A VARIED STOCK.

'The most enterprising man I wot of anywhere" said an old reporter, lis the publisher of country weekly and pro- prietdr of job printing shop up in Tennessee. I don't know anything about the paper. or the shop, or the town or the gentleman himself and base my opinion entirely upon this letter head, which starts off with this an- nouncement: We deal in books, maps, charts, school furniture, tombstones, fruit trees, &sc.' That to my way of thinking is a Napoleonic combination and reveals a moster mind. l have no idea what the '&c.' is supposed to indi- cate; but it wouldn't surprise me if it stood for washing machines and wooden legs. A man who can conduct an estab- lishment of that kind and at the same time run a weekly newspaper is un- questionably a genius I used to think the most picturesque concern in this end of the continent was a little store in South Georgia with sign reading, Bake shop and circulating library. Also embalming done. But it isn't in 1t with the Tennessee literary empori- um. m.'''-New Orleans Times-Democrat.
