Senator Bbownlow.?TheLynehburg
Virginian says:
"As announced by telegraph, Senator
Wm, G. Brownlow passed through this
oity Saaday morning, on the 4.20 train,
en route to his home in Enoxville, Tenn.
To see him, one would wonder what
keeps him alive. Thin, pale and ema?
ciated, and shaking with palsy, the poor
old palterer, deprived of motion, was
borne from the Orange to the Tennessee
train by the assistance of three gentle?
men, and as carefully seated as though
he wore a wounded soldier borne from
the sanguinary confliatr. He was cleanly
shaved, attired in a block suit, and woro
a white slouch hat, drawn- over his fore?
head. He Is, to all outward appearance,
a human wreck, and it is more than pro?
bable that he has made his last visit to
the Senate Chamber. But it ".wouldn't
be safe, notwithstanding, to bet on
Brownlow's dying within any given
Alme."

wait of several minutes had boon mado.
The play, proceeded, and between the
second and third acts tho President made
his appearance, when tho orchestra,
breaking off in tho music they were play?
ing, struck up "Hail to the Chiof." Re-,
gardiog this as an unwarranted iuter-'
ruptiou of the piece, Miss Oashmau be?
came indignant and properly domanded
that tho orchestra stop its servility and
that the play proceed. Her order was
obeyed, to the very groat surprise of tho
President's flatterers and himself and
family. So relates a Washington cor?
respondent of the Norfolk Journal.
It is reported that Judge T. H. Cooko,
j of tho Eighth Judicial Circuit, is closing
up all the bar rooms in Anderson, Ooo
ueo and Greenville- Connties, which do
not conform to what is known as tho
Tapper law. This is a law which has
remained on tho statute books of tho
State for many years, but has been prac?
tically a dead letter, for it was never exo
jonted. It provides that do one shall
I keep a bar exoept he has a certain num?
ber of beds and accommodations for

Judge Cooke, it is said, ignoros licenses
issued by town or city corporations, and
holds each vender to an acoount uodor

The Modehn Leandkh.?Abont ten
days since, a white man, giving his name
as Joseph Taylor, was brought in from
Horn Lake by some citizens, who
oharged him with being a horse thief.
He was turned over to Chief Atby, who
locked him up. The following day, a
well known lawyer visited Captain Athy,
and claimed to know Taylor, and vouch?
safed for him as a well-to-do and respect?
able citizen. His name, the lawy er said,
was Tucker, and be liyed near Pratt's
Mills, in Do Soto County, Mississippi.
The lawyer accounted for his presence
and suspicious actions near Horn Lake,
by stating that Tucker was engaged in
an amour near that place, and changed
I his name to -avoid detection. As there
Was nothing against the man bnt suspi?
cions. Chief Athy, upon the lawyer's
statement, released him, at the same
time writing to Sheriff Daily, of Do Soto
County, making inquiry concerning
Tucker. Three or four days later, he
received an answer ? from that officer,
stating that no such u man as Tucker
had ever beou seen in the vicinity of
Pratt's-Mills, where he claimed to re?
side, j Officers were at once, put on the
track of Tucker, who had *rumuihed in.
town, with orders to arrest him. Th'nt
Worthy, iu the meantime, had formed
the acquaintance of Maggie Morris, the
heroine of the", nobody % block' story,
and they had sworn to stick to. each
other through thick and tb In. Maggio,
it will be remembered, after her rescue
from the block, wub turned over to
Father O'Brien, who placed her in St.

Ibers js?t two days; .whom telling, a

Tucker, he by some' means learned of
their movements, and, with Maggie, fled

.Being close pressed when he reached
Wolf River. Tucker placed the girl on
his back and plunged into that tarbid
stream, swam, safely to ? the other side
and made good his escape.: Informa?

Daily, with a request -to'capture him
if possible. .Since .his escape, several
animals, haye been atolonv-from the vioi

that he was again operating. Saturday
night, Sheriff Daily sent Chief .Athy. a

number of the missing animals were
from Mississippi. The whereabouts of
the innocent Maggie is not known.

indiscriminate- rush..over -benches and

the more powerful of those present, and
the oanvas was slashed with .knives in

completely buried them. A brisk rain?
storm prevailed at the time, and the]
saturated oanvas extinguished the lamps
and left the people in confusion and
darkness, with no means of escape. Jn
the rush several of the cages, containing j
the'animals connected.with tbe mena

of tbe frightened boabta lent a now
terror to the scene. After an anxious
suspense of nearly an hour, however,
the canvas was raised sufficiently to ena?

of worship in Paris and its vicinity, and
five or six ministers, including the Eng?
lish olergymen, comprised the Protestant
pastorate. Now, Mr. Cook reports fifty
oight Protestant plaoes of worship in
Paris or its immediate suburbs, forty
soven of which are within tho oily pro?
per. Nearly half of these are either Lu?
theran or Reformed churches. Many of
these places of worship are very small,
while in most of them tho attendance is
limited to one hundred or less.
Iu tho convention whioh framed the
Federal Constitution, in the course of a
debate as to tho titles which should be
given to the various officials, Dr. Frank
lin brought tho whole matter into deri?
sion by proposing that the Vioe-Presi
dent be styled "His Most Superfluous
Highness." As this officer now reoeive3
the handsome sum of $10,000 per annum
for sitting in a soft ohair, gavel in hand,
and looking ns wise ss an owl, it must be
admitted that official superfluity, like
godliness, brings great gain to its owner,
if not to the country.

A Paraorath for DrsPEPncs.?If
you have a weak stomaeh, and wish to
mako it weaker, take violent purgations.
There is no surer way to render indiges?
tion ohronio. But if you are dyspeptic,
and, liko a sensible person, desire to
strengthen your digestive organs snd
compel them to perform their essential
duties thoroughly and regularly, take a
doso of Hoste tier s Stomach Bitters be?
fore every meal, until your delinquent
stomach is restored to a healthy condi?
tion. It should bo understood that dys?
pepsia is always complicated with dis?
turbances of the liver and an unnatural
state of the bowels, and that no medi?
cine which does not. reach and reotify
these irregularities can possibly cure this
agonizing disease Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is an anti-bilious agent and a
gradual cathartic, as well bb a tonio and
stomachic, and hence ils unparalleled ef?
ficacy in the severest oases .of chronic in?
digestion. M16f3jl
