DIR. Winthrop H. Hopson, of the Chris
tian Church, arrived by the afternoon train
from Louisville, Monday and addressed q
large and attentive audience that evening
at the church on Church street.


DR.. Hopson preceded his discourse by
reading from the sixth to the twentieth
verse Of the Gospel by Matthew, taking
the confession of Peter that "Jesus is the
Christ the son of the living God, "for his sub
ject. He made many good and interest
ing points, saying great deal in the most
concise manner, proving to his audience
that he is a speaker of no ordinary ability.
The leading object of the speaker was to
show that the confession made by Peter
the same made by every member of the
Church, with which he stands identified
that ''Jesus is the Christ, the
tson of the living God" contained the
grand central and leading thought Of all
that has ever been written by the inspirR-
ton of God and found in the Bible. That
to believe this was to believe everything
else announced in Gods Holy Word, be-
cause the law and the prophets looked to
Christ and the New Testament, written by
inspiration, contains the language of the
Holy Spirit and declare him to be the
Christ, the Anointed One Of God, the only
Potentate, King of kings and Lord Of
lords. The Church of Christ in demand
ing this confession to be made by all in
the light of the Gospel ss necessary before
fellowship, can demand nothing less, and
to demand more would be blasphemous


DR.. Hopson viii preach again this even
ing at the usual hour.

In the worlds history the superior intel
hgence of a nation has been marked by
their appreciation of art as well as science,
and there can be no higher indication Of
tree refinement than just and true ap-
probation of the beautiful in art, and to
such an extent is this truth realized that
trip to the old world is considered almost
q failure if the immortal productions Of
Raphaelle and Michael Angelo, and of
Titan have not been witns ssed.


When Walter gave Us his celebrated en-
craving of Lee, we did not dare to hope
that another such master piece would
be given to us in the same century, and
we but echoed the sentiments of the ablest
critics throughout the entire South. But
the almost inspired hand cf the great artist
has again been busy, and another produc-
tion stands forth fair as the first and as
dear to every Southern heart. Its name is
''Stonewan jackson, and we will not close
this sketch without giving those who
will not have an opportunity of wit
Messing this magnificent work some
idea of its execution. 1t is nearly life
size, and like the Lse, is surrounded with
q rich dark background of the Rembrandt
order, producing fine effect. But it is in
COuCopilOu dS WCl1 dS IL CAoSub1OA NA1oS
Walters great success lies, and here he
has succeeded. In gazing at this picture
we see in every feature the indomitable
will which characterized jackson, and
made his name terror to his foeg-the
same expression that he wore throughout
his valley campaign and the memorable
battles around Richmond.


As the engraving represents jackson
without his hat, we see more of the well
balanced head than in any other likeness
of him than we have ever seen. He must
have possessed massive brain, as the de-
velopment is of an unusual capacity.


In closing, we heartily commend this
memento to our citizens. OF course, every
one who has the Lee will have one of this,
and we hold that it is DUTY for every one
to cherish the memory of those truly
great men, and to transmit them
to posterity. Who can hear those last
bright words of jackson as he said ''Let as
cross over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees" without wish that
our children may initiate his virtues and
cherish his memory. Messrs. Summers &
Tremaine are the agents for this State and
the State of Arkansas, and will cheerfully
give all an opportunity Of possessing one
of these enpravinQS.

There resides at No. III South Summer
street. an aged couple, both of whom have
lived in this city for many years, and while
health permitted made sufficient to live
comfortably. About four years ago the
husband was stricken with paralysis, since
which time the unfortunate man has been
unable to do anything for thar support.
The wife, with that heroic devotion that
has ever characterized the true woman,
has stood by her afflicted husband The
poor woman states that she has managed
to procure the common necessaries of life
by assiduous attention to her needle, while
some Of the ladies of Nashville have been
more than kind in furnishing her with
sewing, by which she could satisfy the
pangs of hunger; and to those philan-
thropic ladies she feels truly grateful. But
alas for their terrible misfortune, he to
whom she gave her girlish heart became
so helpless, both limbs and arms being
paralyz zed, and at the same time he is suO-
ject to fits, that she, poor creature, has
been compelled for the last twelve months
to remain By her husband constantly, thus
preventing her from earning livelihood.
This is case that demands Immediate at
tention and should enlist the sympsthies

We noticed yesterday in market a very fine
lot of native fruit trees. Some specimens were
climatized Northern varieties. Our people are
learning that it is better to raise their fruit trees
at home. There is no reason why we should
send fifty or sixty thousand dollars to the North
every year from East Tennessee for fruit trees
alone. But on the other hand there are many
reasons why we should not do so. 1t is an un-
necessary drain upon our money the trees are
much higher priced: purchasers are often uncer-
tain as to what they get, and many excellent
varieties are unelimatized and prove worthless
2 We have known farmers to spend large sums
for Northern fruit and derive little or no profit
therefrom. Of course there are exceptionable
cases. The nursery business should be made to
pay well in East Tennessee, and ought to be
carried on more extensively than it is at pres

farmer should be without good orchard,
Thousands of bushels would find ready sale in

If it pays to ship it that distance. it ought to
pay well to produce it here. Let it be done.

The Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat
gets oil the following fish story, which,
if true, will remove many doubt
from the skeptical mind as to the adj
ventures recorded of Jonah:


Up the river, in a town called Eas-
ton, two of its inventive citizens are
training surgeons to q novel use.
They cause a couple of the fish to
draw a small boat, in harness, and at
tach them also to two imitation swans
which float above them and prevent
their diving. The boat is shaped
like a shell. The mode of Harvesting
the surgeons is peculiar. A broad
India rubber band, encircling each
fish behind the pectOral fin, has q
brass ring attached on top. Through
these rings a stout ashen pole, about
eight feet long is inserted, and TO two
staples in the pole the traces are fas-
tened. There is also a gum-elastic
band around each sturgeon, just be-
hind the dorsal fin, with a loop in the
side holding the opposite ends of a
much lighter pole, to compel them to
swim at q regular distance from each
other. Phillippi, who acts as driver,
has his seat in the bow, and directs
their course with q goad, which is a
long pole, and as thick as ones wrist,
with sharp spike sticking out at right
angles from the.end, and it is surpris-
ing with what alacrity they obey.
When they are to be turned to the
right or left, a sudden prick on the
opposite side of each sturgeon causes
the pair to take the desired course;
when a'greater speed is desired they
are pierced near the tail; when they
are required to halt, the goad is reach
ed forward and they are pricked in
front of the head.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have q good thing, advertise if. If
you havn't, don't.
If you don't mean to mind your own
business, it will not pay TO advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods in
public. Let him do his own advertising.
las az true of advertising as anything
else in this world-if it is worth doing at
all, it is worth doing well.


We don't recommend 'sd vertising as the
best way to get wife bu; we know that it
is the best way to get good trade.


You can't eat enough in one week to last
q whole year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.


A large advertisement once, and then
discontinued, creates the impression that
the man has fzzled.


IniudicioQs advertising is like fishing
where there's no fish. You need to let the
lines fall in the right1place.


A constant dropping will wear rock
Keep dropping your advertisements on th'
public and they will soon melt under it lik'
rock salt.


Large typo isn't necessary in advertising
Blind folks don't read newspapers.


If you can arouse curiosity by an adver
tissment il is q great point gained. Th
fair sex don't hold ell the curiosity in tn
world.


Don't be afraid to invest in printers ink
lest your sands of life be nearly run out.


When you advertise, see that you do it o
the same principle that you buy goods. Ge
the most you can for the money.


People who advertise only once in tn re
months forget that most folks can't remen
ber anything longer than about seven day
