Over a hundred were present, and tho young lads and lasses, and many older ones; from all the countryside around, were on hand, lilled to the full wjlUUicall^jind happiness and enjoylhgStlie fesilVe occasion as only such a party can. About hall-past 10 o'clock some lemonade in couple of jars was brought in and com menced having n rapW sale, the boys and girls imbibing with equal free dom.

I allude to the piece of mechanism exhibited by Dr. Fooser at the lust annual Fair of the Agricultural Association. I have learned .that ho has made much im provement on it since, and, accident all}-, have gotten hold of a circular which he has issued to some extent through the count}'. While I will not pretend to sr.y whether or not the invention will ultimately perform all that i3 claimed for it, I must believe there is much that it will do toward the saving of labor, time and money. I enclose the paper above referred to that you may make such oxtrncts or comments as you deem pioper. While I am playing the role of cor respondent will give you a few jot-j lings. From the wail that is going up in every locality nnd judging from your humble servant's predicament, General Green has taken tho fields in strong force.

With some satisfaction we refer to our recent Floral Fair, but with the apparent thrift and success of your city folk it should have not only been a successful undertaking, but a grand affair. Our country people, though capable of appreciating its impor tance, arc loo busily engaged at this time of the year in attending to the substantiate to indulge much in the condiments and sweetmeats. "Hon ors are not easy" either, and those who hold "Hush" and have "the age" should go more generally to the front. The most polite and inoffensive young gentlman heard from lately, is one who met tho other day a female canine having rabies, and exclaimed : "I would shoot you on the spot but for the respect I have for your sex," and passed over a convenient fence without deliberation. The question, is, docs lie or does he not believe that, "Courtship is only tho skirmish before the great battle begins to rage." May the Democrat long "stick." Hermes! Bettor Times Ahead. On a goncrul review of tho busi ness outlook a commercial journal concludes that there has been n great improvement, nnd that the indica tions clearly point to further improve ment. It says: "The period of de pression is ended, bankruptcies have declined fifty per cent, in the last six months; a feeling of courogo and confidence has succeeded the pro tracted period of despondency and doubt; a l etter demand is reported for most kinds of goods throughout the country ; in most branches of in dustry agtcaler activity is repotted, based upon a more active demand ; scores of mills and factories have started up which have been idle for several years. A poetess sings: "Tho' I were dead my heart would beat for thee." (This wotdd certainly be a "dead heat;" and it strikes us tho poetess [assumes too much poetic license* Love as an Investment. Love is the only thing thai will pay 10 per cent, of interest'on the outlay. Love is tho only thing in which tho height of extravaganoo is the last degree'of economy. It is the only thing, I tell you. Joy is wealth. Love is the legal tender of the soul? and you need not be rich to bo happy. Wfa have all been raised on success in Ulis country. Always been talked with about being successful, and have never thought ourselves very rich un less we were possessor* of souio mag nificent mnnsion, und unless our names have been between the putrid Hps of rumor we could not be happy. Every litte boy is striving to be tins and be that. 1 tell you the happy man is the successful man. The man that has been emperor of ono good heart, and that heart ombraee all his, has been a success. If another has been emperor of the round world and has never loved or bcon loved his life is a failure. "*V-'i't'i? ; It won't do. Let us teach our chil dren the other way that the happy man is the successful man, and he who is a happy man is the one who always tries to make some ono else happy. The man who marries a wo man to make her happy ; that marries her as much for her own sake as his his own ; not the man that thinks his wife is hie property, who thinks the title to her belongs to him?Iba?, the woman is the property of the mnu ; wretches who get mad at their wives and then shoot them down in the' the streets because they think the woman is their property. I tell you it is not necessary to be rich and great and powerful to be happy. A lit'la while ago I stood by the graye of the old Napoleon?a' magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for ja dead deity?and gazed cpon the sarcophagus of black Egyptian mar fide, where rest at.last the ashes of the restless man. I leaned over the bal ustrade and thought.about the career of the greatest soldier of the modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide?I; saw hiiu.al TouloiWr-I saw him putting down the mob in the steets of Paris?I saw him at, the head of the army of Italy?I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his hand?I saw him in Egypt in' Use shadow of the pyramids ?I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle tho eagles jof'France wjlli"the eagles of the crags?I saw him at Marcngo?at Ulm and Amderlilz. I saw him in Russia, where the infan try of the snow and cavalry of the wild blast .scattered Iiis legions like winter's Withered ' leaves. I saw htm at Leipsic in defeat and disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Parish, clutched like a wild beast, banished lo Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by force [ of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful . field of Waterloo, where chance and fate combined to w eck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sud and solemn sea. I I thought of the orphans and wid ows he bad made?Of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of ijio only woman who ever loved him, pushed fiom Iiis heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said 1 would rather have been a French1 peasant, and worn wooden shoes. I would rather have lived in a hut, with a vine growing over the door, and the grapes growing purple in tho kisses of the autumn sun. I would rather have been that poor peasant, with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky?.with my children upon my knees and their arms about me. I would rather have been that man, and gone down lo the tongueless dust, than to, have been that Imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as Napoleon the Great. Tiib following unique epistle was p oked up in tho streets at Schuyler villc: "Dear Bill: Tho reason I did not lalf when yu laft at nie in the,post oils yesterday was becaws I hoy a bile on my face, and kan't lalf.

SCOUNOHKLS OK TIIK COUNTRY TAUK.N AT LAST. The detectives havo at last succeed ed in bunting down and wresting u man named Lindner, who. has long been recognized as one of. the most 'daring and adroit swindlers in, tl>c world, and has opetated- successfully, in most of tho cities of the continent, j He is the son of an Austrian pfUecr, and twenty years ago came to Ibis, country and worked two years for a pawnbroker, at Cleveland, Ohio, who paid him 51 per week. He made the acquaintance of i\ set of burglars, and linally assisted them to rob.the pawn shop. Soon afterward he went to St. Louis, and enlisted in a Missouri reg iment, from which he deserted after pay-rolls, lie was next heard of in New York, where he speculated in stocks and made money for a lime-, but finally lost 810,000 in Hannibal and St. Joseph stock in one day. By various lorgerics Lindner again accumulated money, and at the closc of Ihe war bought a largo plantation near Natchez. This proved to be a bad investment, and he abandoned his heavily mortgaged properly and renewed his career of forgery, work ing principally in the Southern Stales with raised checks, lie then wont to Europe, committed several forgeries on tho the Rank of England, and re lumed to this country in 1870. Obtaining a genuine lettor of orcdit for 300 German marks on a bank at Hamburg, Germany, ho stole a blank, forged a letter of credit for 00,000 marks, went to Hamburg, drew ihe .money and was back in less than four weeks. In 187G he committed a most daring and successful forgery. At a time fixed upon a confederate pre sented to the Chicago Grain Ex change a certified check for $9,8.r>0 on a New York bank. At that time! Lindner was in the vestibule of the bank, Iiis cap in Iiis pocket and pen behind his car. j :! "When the telegraph ihessbngcr'ar rived at the bank withja ftijjplqlch :nsk>, ing if check NO.Y-Was ?orrev't? Lindner intercepted him, and with ju7 air of authority, opened the dispatch, read it and handed the messenger an I nillrmative answer. Later he. opened ja small job printing ofllee in Eighth ! avenue, near Thirty-second street, 1 and printed a large number of cheeks on banks all over the country, the paper being genuine paper, which a confederate (an cx-vicc-presidont of a bank) procured at Washington. ? He had seven confederates with whom he carried on extensive operations. About two years ago Lindner be gan operations in Newark with raised checks', and succeeded in defrauding several banks, but, the banks becom j ing more careful, he began the work I of forging the certifications j and, re turning to Newark, swindled a large number of merchants. The clue which led to his arrest was given by a convict in the Hudson County pen itentiary. The next clue was given to Detective Becker from Petersburg, Ya., where Lindner was seen to pur chase a ticket for Boston. He is now confined in Essex County jail, at Newark; His cell is handsomely carpeted and litted up, and he is np j patently nol greatly depressed. A Dilemma. ! The Washington Slar says the uu jlhoritics of Dooly County, Georgia, have an elephant on their hands. A 'lire in a neighboring county, which j destroyed valuable records, prompt \ cd them to buy of a Northern firm a fire-proof sale about half as large as ja freight cur and weighing 9,000 pounds. Twelve mules moved it at ti cost of $100 three miles from the railroad, but there it stuck and refus ed to move any further towards its destination, Vienna, the county seal, still nine miles 'away. Three com ! missioners were appointed who look up their lodgings in the safe, and is sued a circular therefrom, offering 8100 reward for the best plan of get ting over the difficulty. Competitors arc numerous. One suggests build ing a railroad to it, another thinks a I canal tho thing, another flippantly recommends making it a summer ro< sort, and yet another sagaciously says "move Vienna up to the safe." The last plan would have been adopt ed ns the cheapest, but the safe un fortunately happens to bo stuck in another county. At last accounts the .commissioners still had their head quarters in the safe. Gen/Shields' Swords; ; At the funeral of Con. James Shields, of Carrollton, on Wednes day, the two swords presented to him by the States of Illinois and South Carolina were crossed over the casket containing his body, and with llic floral decorations helped to make up a rich and pleasing picture. In the procession they word bomb, re spectively, by Col. P. G. 15ullin?*a.l, of Ottumwa, Iowa, and Mr. J. M. Wilooxson, a banker of Carrollton: TJ10 inscriptions' 'on '{fie tesli'monial.4' are: On the first? "Presented by the State of Illinois to Gen. Jas. Shields' for gailant sei vice at - Vera Cruz, Ccrro Gordo, Conlrerns, Cherubusco, Chapultepec, and the GAretta of 13c lin, City of Mexico."

The hilt is studded with diamonds, rubies and emeralds, and on the scab bard is a palmetto tree, with dates of the several battles in which the old hero fought in the Mexican war. South Carolina invested the hand some sum of $7,000 in this gilt. It may bo slated that Gen. Shields breathed his hist in a hospital at tached to a Catholic convent, presid ed over by a female relative of hi?,in the beautiful little city of Oltumwn. The immediate cause of Iiis death was the bursting of the old wound'1 received by him at the battle of Ccr ro G Dido. ' ? . ? _!?i-? I ? i?.-r it'j b'ji'i! Horrible Story from Mexico. Last week, in Chihuahua, a wonian went into a shoemaker's Fbop in front of his dwelling and was meas ured for a pair of shoes. The son of Crispin said to the woman : "You have a very pretty foot."

The next day the shoemaker was out when the wo man with the pretty foot called, ac cording to agreement, and the wife got her into the back room and stab bed her to death. The wife then cut a steak out of the dead woman's leg and packed the body under the bed. The shoemaker came home and ate his dinner. The wife asked him how be liked the meat. He answered that "it was the best he had ever eaten." The wife then told hi mi he bad eaten a part of "the prettiest leg in Mexico." lie asked her what she meant. She showed htm the hotly under the bed, and made a dash at him with a knife, bul he escaped and ran to the l'alacioand told the.lmlge I what happened.

Secrets of Masonry. Old Zuch Wheeler was quite a character in his tune, being a clever, easy-going, confiding man, who man aged to let everybody cheat him out of his inherited estates. Just as his last farm was obout to slip out Of his hands he succeeded in raising the money to lift the mortgage. Aaron Retner, a prominent Mason, accompa nied him to the town.

We have information of a terrible affray which occurred in Anderson County last Tuesday witli a vicious horse. John Coward, the young son of the widow Coward, a member pf , the mercantile firm of Worlhington & Coward, went into tho stable where there was an old family horse, which bad been known to bo always as gen- - tie as a dog. Suddenly the beast was, seized with a fit of viciousness, and: pitched upon young Coward. ,Uc-, fore he could get awny from tho fer rocious animal ho was almost literal ly eaten up. The horse had biUou almost all the muscles nndjiosh loose rroni both arms above t'.io elbow,; had also bitten him furiously in the sides, on the hips and other (daces. Dr. Coward, uncle of tho young man, was summoned and gave all the su% gical assistance and relief possible, but tho wounds were of a very dan gerous and serious nature, and it was feared he could not survive. A' ne gro boy went into the same horse af torwa:d and was also sot upon by V, and pretty roughly i^ed* and it was with difficulty lm was .rescued, Tho hor80 was^noYcrJtnowp.Jp'.bn vicious before, and its conduct . could not be explained. Young Coward wanted it.killed, but nothing was donp about it. The horse seemed flnajly to get over the spell and was taken out and worked iu the plow the saipa day. [Kno^ville ]yiiig.
