A Star Ascendant.
From the Nashville News.

From the Nashville News
The Washington Star celebrates its if
tleth anniversary by a special edition Of
more than usual interest and attraction. 1t
contains, besides very full and profusely
illustrated issue, filled with accounts of
Washington enterprise and progress,
magazine supplement Of special articles
showing the great changes that have taken
place in Washington during the past half
century, and a facsimile Of the initial num-
Der Of The Star, issued in December, 1862
From the editorial columns of this old
sheet, which in size and general style re-
sembles a crossroads weekly Of today, we
clip the following paragraph concerning
Tennesseeans whose individual stars have
gone down the while the journalistic lumi-
nary has assembled the zenith:
Or. Parsons, in the Nashville Christian
Advocate, calls Uncle Toms Cabin the
best fabricated lie of the nineteenth CEN
tury.'
Colonel Gentry of Tennessee, who re-
fused to support General Scott. made
speech at Franklin. in that state, a few
days ago, in which he proclaimed himself
still Whig.''
And we note another which reminds us
that while institutions change and slavery
Is no more, man remains much the same,
even to the photographic humor in vogue
then and now:
1.-The SIS 600 raised to indemnify Mr.. Lem
mon for the loss of his slaves is called
Lennon aid Judge Paine, whose decision
set the slaves free, is called Lennon
squeezer. The 500 contributed by the Judge
for the relief Of the slaves is denominated
as Lennon juice. The sneers of the Trib-
une and the abolitionists generally at the
contributors Of the Lennon aid are called
acidulated Lennon drops"
The following squib shows how far
have left behind us the postal regulations
of fifty years ago:
THE man that nowadays will write
And not prepay his letter
Is worser than the heathens are,
What don't know any better;
And If you take a fne-tooth comb
And rake down all creation,
You couldn't find a meaner man
In this here mighty nation"
