ly had neglected to maintain cor
respondence. The epistle he dictated
was as follows:
Dear old peg: Allow me to crawl
on my face with apologies for not
splitting you a little chatter before
this. Have been buster than banjo
in spook cabinet; otherwise would
have dipped a gallon of fountain pen
sap long ago. Hoping you are all to

Wonder if AquiIa Il. DuIaney is
mad or happy Jailed at st. Louis for
forgery, he woke up to find his wife
in the next cell for bigamy. What
is the natural emotion when one is
stopped in the gentle and genteel
business of forgery to find that the
only wife of ones bosom has been,
meanwhile, marrying another man.

Myrtle has a peg top skirt
Slit up to her knee,
Made of f1imsy crepe de chine;
Thin as it can be.
Neck and shoes are very low;
You can plainly see
Her silk hose are very sheer
Sheer audscity.
Myrt a white fox collar has
On her velvet coat,
But it's only in the back;
White bare is her throat.
Myrtle has the rheumatic
In her dimpled knee;
Quinsy in her lily throat;
Also pleuTisy.
Myrtle has a hacking cough,
And her nose is red.
She has influenza, too.
Stuffy is her head.
Through her fever blistered lips
Still she gayly smiles;
For she knows she's all dressed up
In the latest styles. 1~>..

II Frank Dibrell,las Comp.

If Frank Dibrell, las Comp
troller Of the Treasury of Ten
nessee could clear up all else in
the way of charges against the
conduct of his Office, he could
not Justify his revenue agents
bringing on small delinquents
the enol nous costs collected by
them. In one particular case il
was shown that the unpaid tax
was eight.cents, and the costs Of
all kinds aggregated about ten
dollars. No official with a wor-
thy object in view would allow
the accumulation of so much cost
on so trivial sum. Mr.. Dibrell
was credited with stating last
week that to itemize all the mat
ter of back taxes collected by
his agents, would require a spec.
ial appropriation Of $1,000.

Worse Than Patterson.

The remark has been made
that Comptroller Frank Dibrell
and his horde Of back tax eaters
have been more damage in dol
lars and cents than Ham Patter-
son ever was. True, Patterson
outraged justice from every
stand point and ran a pardon
mill which was a disgrace to the
fair name of the state, but even
if pardons were sold outright,
those who made the dickers
with Ham and his pardon attor,
neys got what they paid for.
On the other hand, Dibrell and
his faithful tax eaters, in their
work of seeing that Tennessee
and the counties should be paid
taxes Of which they had been de.
frauded, or the money in some
other way Withheld, skinned
without mercy the poor man
whose insignificant tax had es-
capped payment, as well as The
corporations who had escaped
the payment Of taxes as much
through the negligence of col
Letting officers as by any other
means. Nor is that the worst
feature Of it, for in the collec-
ton OF $4,000 state and county
taxes in the county of Davidson
alone, Q charge of $6,238.S8 was
made for Expenses" outside of
$1,000 for State commissions, In
. total Of $4,000 collected
measly $4,000 went into the :
State Treasury, $4,000 for sal. {
ARES OF revenue and 1885, 900 for
expenses. Not in a thousar
