Nothing is easier to aequire, nothing more difficult to loc, I hall a trick of sjioech and manner and nothing is more universal.

If We look round among our friends find acquaintances we shall fW scarcely one who has hot his favorite wonl, his perpetual formula, his automatic action, his unmeaning gestures all tricks caught probably when young, and, by not being corrected then, next to impossible to alwlish now. Who does not know the familiar I say as the preface to every remark? and the still more familiar "vou know" as the middle term of every fchlehce? Who, too, in these latter times, hos not suffered from the affliction of "awful" and "jolly milestones in the path of fpcech inter-sjiersed with even Uglier and more obtrusive signs of folly and corrupt diction milestones that are forever turning Up, showing the successive distances to which good taste and refinement have receded in thir, hideous race after slang to which our youth is given. Then there are the people who erpetuate ejaculations; who say idness!" as a mark of surprise, and "CJood gracious!" when surprise is a little mixed with reprobation; lower in the social scale it is "My word!" "Patience!" "Did I ever!" and indifferently to all stations, You don't say so!" or in a voice ofdeprecation, "No!" and "Surely not!" To judge by voice and word, these ejaeulatory people are always in a state of surprise. They go through the world in unending astonishment; and their appeals to their goodness and that indeterminate quantity called good gracious are incessant. In the generation that died with the fourth George the favorite ejaculations were Iy Jove!" and "J.v George! with excursions into the region of "Gad!" and P.y iingo!

It is emphatically a habit, a trick of speech, meaning for tlie most part no more than the Good ness!" and "Patience!" of the milder folly. A Dream that Parted Man and Wife.

The Louisville Courier-Journal tells this story Petween Clarksville, and Eddyville, on the Cumberland river, there is a cavern which can only lie entered by diving into the water, and which has no other light than that reflected from the lxittoni of the river.

It was accidentally discovered by a young Indian chief, while one day diving for his gun, which he had dropped from his he Indian youth who discovered it, for a long time kejt the secret to himself, and would eften resort to it in his lonely hours, where, by the aid of his flint and a piee-e of dry wood, he would kindle a fire and eniov himself in looking at the magnificence of the si-ene as the light reflected back millions of beams from the numerous stalagmites and stalactites of gigantic size and fantastic forms. The cave was about fiftv feet wide, and about the same in height. In the eourse of time this voting son of the forest became enamored with a beautiful daughter of one of the backwoodsmen in the settlement. Tiie young chiefs name was Wallahalla and the girl's name was Agnes IlofK-rtson. In those days the daughters of the backwoodsmen could sw im, ride, and handle a gun with all the dexterity and skill of their fathers and brothers.

Arriving at the place the lover disappeared beneath the surface of the water and the maiden quickly fol-wed him. Here he informed her she must remain as his prisoner until he gained the consent of her parents to their union. Wallahalla then departed to return soon after with dried venison and such articles as were necessary for her comfort. Returning to the settlement, Wallahalla found that the place had been attacked by the foe and the village burnt to the ground. The parents of Agnes mourned her as dead, or lingering in a captivity to which "death would lie far preferable.

The young chief was loudest in his lamentations over the lost girl, and at the war dance of his trifle swore the direst vengeance against her captors. All the male iortioii of the settlement, together with the friendly tribe to which the vou ng chief Wallahalla belonged, tarted in pursuit of the foe to rescue the 7 A COLUMBIA, JiliL After a long and tedious march they came upon the enemy in the neighborhood of where. Metropolis city, now stajida. A fhrlvW battle Was fought, 5n Whi'cn the attacking party, headed by young Wallahalla, dealt death and ele-struction to their foe until the ammunition was exhausted. At iiioiiieht the enemy was i'ciiiiorced, and the attacking party was compelled to retire acroas the Ohio.

The father of Agnes was almost crazed with grief the loss of his leioVed lp.ij:htei. In his great jpohy lie published to the troops the following announcement Andrew Roltfilson. will give 16 the resetter cf iiiy daughter from the hands of the Iowas her hand in marriage, 1,000 acres of land, 100 head of cattle and horses, 100 pounds of powder, and two rifles."

Wallahalla separated himself fro'al both parties, and by a drcuitoUs route wended his way. to the cavern in search of his IxdoVed Agnes, whom he found 111 a Btarving con dition.

Their advent into the settlement on the following morning was an occasion for great rejoicing.

Feasting and dancing Were the order for several weeks, and the young chief Wallahalla was the toast of the country for miles around, lie was the recipient of presents of land, horses, cattle, skins, to a larger extent than any man living since the foundation of the world. Of the nineteen men who stepped forward to offer their services to Andrew Robertson, not one returned to give in his exiorience, and the general impression existed at that time that they were either tomahawked or burnt at the stake. Wallahalla married and changeTl his name to Robertson. Many of his descendants lived in the neighborhood of what is now known as Crittenden county and Trigg county, till alxmt the year 1818, when they removed to Eastern Georgia. An Asthmatic Prisoner.

He was a fat man, almost as wide as the corridor door, and as he came out one of the newsboys whisjiered: What a sinker he'd make for a fish line!"

Perhaps you have taken me for some one else." "Perhaps I have, Mr. Jackson, but if you weren't drunk, how came you to lie lying flat on the walk, hat in the gutter, satchel in the, street and your feet spread all over? And when an officer raised you uj, Mr. Jackson, you plainly and "distinctly said: 'Zon't g'wav an lemme 'lone I'll knock 'cr head Would a solier man make such a remark?"

"Fat man from Milwaukee," said the court, as the prisoner paused, Once I was like a child, I looked at things as a child. I believed every story and statement, and my heart was free from suspicion. Men took advantage of me; women deceived me. with their crocodile tears I felt sad for the men who cut their hair close and bet their money on dog fights. I have changed, Mr.

The Rural World savs: As soon as the sj)ike-s begin to burst open they must be cut off and thrown into boxes, and hauled to the jxijiping-out plae-e. The manner of gathering is to make a sleigh that will pass ln-tween the rows, having a liox that will hold ten bushels, that being a load for an ordinary horse. One horse attached to a slenl on which a elry goods box is placed will answer. For twenty acre's, three sleds, made of 2xG stuff, wide enough to hold the largest sized dry goods box, will suffice. Care should be taken to gather up those that have popped out In-fore a rain, as rain blackens them, and they will not sell as well.

To prepare a place for them to ikiji out, select a clean, smooth, hard place on the prairie, sloping enough to cause rainwater to flow off freely, so that none will stand or lie dead; take sharj) hoes and se-alp off smooth all the grass on a sjiaee say J00 hy 80 leet, tor twenty neres. 1 his should lie swept oft clean, leaving a level surface of hard ground. Then deposit your spikes, leaving a border uncovered of at least twenty feet all around, to catch those beans that jump outward when opening under a hot sun. AlKiut the second or third dav they should be turned, to bring those at the bottom to the top. A steel garden rake is the imidement to use.

About the fourth or fifth day thev are nearly all out of the burs, and the haulm or straw, then greatly diminished in bulk, should lie pitched on a pile to give them time tor stragglers to leave it, and the beans lx-ing set free are found in the bottom of the debris, can easily be raked clear e.f empty burs, and taken awav preparatory to fanning. Any good fanning machine will clean them, and when the yard is clean and solid very little earth will go with them. After beans begin to ripen the field should lie gone over once or twice a week till frost. In hot, dry weather they ripen more rapidly than in cool, wet weather. Children can jierform this work, and a large family of children can not lie more profitably employed than in taking care of a crop of castor lieans.

The work is all light. With a steady horse children may do all the work.

TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1S75, THE MISSISSIPPI'S MOUTH. Cirnerwl BfUrf the r.ntttmsprn In the The Board of Engineers convened by Capt.

Eads, with the approval of the President, for purpose. of considering hU ploha r.c th1? hdiistrtictioh rf a Mrai-em of jetties at the South Pass of the Mississippi river, resumed its session yesterday morning at the Fifth avenue hotel. Though, the details of tfie Him tiion hlcli the jetties. are to be constructed Were fully examined and discussed, ho action was taken except to recommend that the be laid in thfc Her oui lo the depth of thirty feet ot water, Mr. Whitcohib, secretary of the board stated yesterday that Very little doubt was entertained of the.

success of Capt. Ead's plan. Unless the construction of the jetties, he Paid, Should develop some acnon oi me wavers ene river auuvt aiul in the gulf, W-hich can not be fore seen or calculated oh, the ietty system will attain all that is neceessary to make the river navigable tit its flioUlh. No engineer, who has given the subject the slightest consideration, entertains any doubt that by confining the river be tween artificial Walls the ft ce of the currents thus produce! ieepen the channel. The experience elerived from other Works of a similar character has satisfactorily settled this point.

The chief difficulties thnt lay ih the Way of the jetty system are supposed to exits in the construction of works having suf ficient stability to withstand the action of the current of the river within and of the tides and gulf currents from without, and at the same time preventing the formation of a new bar within too short a period. It is now generally addhiitted by the present board of engineers that Capt. Eads has obviated these Some members of the board believe fliat it will require over a century to form a new bar, while others, who do not think it will take so long, believe for at least twenty years the mouth of the river will be kept free from obstruction by the works now in progress. It is also the opinion of all the members of the commission that the mattress system of building up the jetties will be successful. Awe York Tribune.

The Turning Tide. It is noted as a significant fact that the southern and western merchants now crowding into New York for fall purchases, almost universally take a more favorable view of affairs than they find existing in that city. The United States Economist says they all report that business in their districts is active; that the crops are abundant, and that the planters and farmers are in a more favorable condition for supplying themselves with the commodities ef which they stand in so much need. And they afford the best possible evidence of their views by purchasing with a freedom and lilierality that affords assurance of an active trade just as soon as the crops begin to move forward freely. An impression also logins to prevail that the less favorable condition of affairs in the northern manufacturing states is more apparent than real.

When the crops in the other parts of the country begin to move forward, orders will pour into the factories from all parts of the country to supply the demand for agricultural utensils, clothing, and household goods generally. The manufacturers as a rule were never in a lietter position to take advantage of any improvement that may take place in business. In this connection the following remarks of the Economist indicates that northern manufacturers liegin to realize that "protection" is not without its -awhacks It is a significant fact that the chief complaints of bad business come from what are known as "tlie protected industries," those which enjoyed the highest Iiounty of the government now mak ing the most complaints, and lact suffering most severely. This is esjiecially the ease with the iron trade, which has been benefited to the amount of scores of millions of elollars a year by federal legislation. It exhibits least vitality anil energy.

Nashville American. Darwin on Consanguineous Carriages. In a letter to the London Academy, George Darwin, son of the great scientist, says My father has now been carrying on experiments for about nine years on the crossing of plants, and his results appear to him absolutely conclusive as to the advantages ot cross fertilization to plants; although as the investigation is as yet unpublished, Mr. lluth, of course, could not lie aware of this. Now, all modern biological research points to the legitimacy of arguing by analogy between forms even as distinct as animals and plants, and ace-ordingly the fair deduction to Ixj made from this inquiry will be, that what is good or bad for plants is the same for mankind and animals.

But this purely scientific point stands rather apart from what is in fact the main practical puestion at issue, Iseonsanguineous marriage, to the extent to which it is now practiced by civilized nations, detrimental, and is the detriment so great as to justify legislative interference? Mr. lluth himself must be forced to admit that it must be to some extent detrimental from the multiplication of identical pathological germs, and from the fact that no man knows with certainty until towards the end of life what ills may lie hidden in his edition of the family constitution; but by his work he makes a good case for the opinion that the evil seems thus far practically small, and that legislative interference is so far uncalled for and this opinion my own recent inquiry confirms. Our Short-Horns. The question is often asked whether our short-horns of to-day are equal to those of five-and-twenty years ago. Many contend that they are not so good, and assign, as a reason, that too much attention has lie-en paid to jiedigrec, to the neglect eif quality and meat-producing attributes.

It is true that we have many animals of the present day that will compare favorably, if they are not superior, to any of their predecessors, but are the different short-horn herds, in the aggre gate, up in every particular to the standard jxjssessed by animals five and twenty yea rs ago? To breed first-class animals requires the greatest care, rare judgment and skill, with the free use of the knife. Our earlier breeders paid the stictest attention to breeding, and bestowed great care in the selection and skillful mating of their stock, and from this brought their herds to a high state of jierfection. This state of success is not to lie attributed entirely to any particular trilie or family, as some would have us Ix-lieve, but to the admirable lore-sight and suiie-rior judgment with which the animals are bred. The earlier breeders did not expect to sell their animals on a long and fashionable pedigree alone, but expected to furnish quality and meat properties as well as breeding. The great claims of Bates and Booth blood are owing more to the high pitch of perfection to which the renowned breeders carried their animals by the scrupulous care and attention they gave to the mating and selection, and the free use of the knife, than to any particular strain of blood in their pedigrees.

Bates and Booth marked out for themselves an ideal short-hoTn, and all their eflbrts looked to the attainment of their ideal perfectibility. To accomplish this they were comm'iled to make close alliances 1 1 blood, and to discard weeds and faulty animals, however well breed. In other words, they set out to typify an ideal standard of their own. How well they succeeded the enormous prices these families still continue to command is the greatest monument ta their care, judgment and skill. How many of the young breeders of Any jdefinite plan of breeding, or fixed standard of to say they are not a majority, most of them blindly follow fashion to tlfe exciusioli of the hfwhpiftaim all shorthorn breeding quality and Dec.

We elesire to see our young breeders taite pattern after such inch as Mr.Abram Rehick, who has linked his name impef-ir-hably With the grent Rose of Sharon family, that not only posse-sseS fashionable jiedigrees, but are extra in touch and quality; to take pattern after the Yan-nietcre', Who inaoe famous the Young Marys, Young Thyllises aittl Oelii take pattern after the Alexanders.Robort A. and A. who maele distinguished the Mazurkas, Victorias, Filagrees, Belle DuchesseN, Rosabellas and Mow Rose; to take pattern after such a veteran as Major Jerry T.

There are as good fish in the sea as ever came out, and if our breeders will breed to a fixed standard of excellence, both in touch and quality, as "Well as pedigree, we have no fear of the future of short horns, but their course Will be tipWard and onward to a state of the highest perfection. Live Stwk Record. Fancy Farmers. No class of men have been ridiculed so much, and none have done so much good, as those who are denominated fancy farmers. They have been, in all times and countries, the benefactors of the men who have treated them with derision.

They have been to farmers what inventors have lieen to manufactures. They have experimented for the good of the world, while others have simply worked for their own gain. They tested theories while others have raised crops for market. Thev have given a dignity and glory to the occupation of farming it never had before. Fancy farmers have changed the wild boar into the Suilolk and Berkshire; the wild bull of Brit ton into the Short-horn; the mountain sheep, with its lean lxidy and hairy fleece, into the Southdown and the Merino.

Thev brought up the milk of cows from pints to gallons. They have lengthened the surloin of bullock, deepened the udder of the cow, enlarged ham ot the heig, given strength to the shoulder of the ox, rendered finer the wool of the sheep, added licet ness to the peed ot the horse, and made beautiful every animal that is kept in the service of man. Thev have improved and hastened the development of all domestic animals, till they hardly resemble the creatures from which they sprang Fancy farmers introduced irrigation and under-draining, grinding and cooking food for stock. They brought guano from Peru and nitrate of soda from Chili. They introduced and domesticated all the plants we have of foreign origin.

They brought out the theory of the rotation of crops as a natural means of keeping up and increasing the fertility of the soil. They first ground up gysum and bones, and treated the latter with acid to make manures of peculiar value. They first analyze-d i soils as a means of determining what was wanted to increase their fertility. They introduced the most approve-d methods of raising and distributing water. Fancy farmers or fancy horticulturists have given us all our varieties of fruits, vegetables and flowers.

A fancy farmer in New York a few years ago originated the Early Rose potato, which added millions of dollars to the wealth of the country, and proved to Ix.1 a most important accession in every part of the world where it was introduced. Another of these same fancy men originated the Early Wilson strawberry, and another the Concord grape. It was a fancy farmer that brought the Osage orange from Texas to the northern states. Among the men in this country who were classed as fancy farmers at an early day were Washington, Jefferson, Frank lin and Livingston, lfie first introduced mules; the second the cultivation of improved rice the third the use of land jilaster, and the fourth the raising of lucern. More than anv men of their time did they add to the wealth of the country.

After them came another race of fancy farmers, who introduced Arabian horses, Spanish sheep, and the improved breeds of English cattle and swine. These fancy farmers added immensely to the wealth of the practical farmers of the country. What wc want, to develoji the agriculture and horticulture ot the country to their fulk-st extent, is a large numlx-r of fancy fanners, men who work for pleasure rather than for private gain. These are the men who will perform experiments and give the world tbe benefit of them. These are, the wen who will carry on investigations for the sake of investigating.

These are the men who will bring in new grains, new fruits, new vegetables, and new varieties of animals. These are the men who will devote their time and money to the improvement of old varieties and the creation of new ones. The country is sadly in ne-eil of more fancy farmers. i'him'jo Times. The Latest Fashions.

A great many trousseaux are made in for the weddings that take lace later in the autumn. The new fabrics for wedding dresses are creamy white brocaded silks, or else white with the faintest pink tinge, covered with brocaded white roses.

White rose brocaded silks in cream and in snow tints are $7 a yard; those with scroll and leaf pattern are $0. Some of these rich bridal dresses are made in princesse shaje.

The-y are quite plain as low down as the knee, but lx-low this they are richly flounced with plain gros grain and lace.

JEWISH mOYATlOX. Tliif Anolent Rarf lippcpiiiic up wiili tli of the -tire. The Jews ale hloVihtr with the rest of the world. They find they must, (if lie-forever stranded ujxin the shoal of some past time. They have as keen money interest in the world as any other people or sect, and this will eventually drift them into the current of affairs passing lx-fore them, and bring them into sympathy with the age in which they live.

The Jews have many anctent religious customs, rites and observances which have been transmitted from generation to generation so long that they seem like a packet of old jewelry out of fashion, and very inconvenient to take care of. Fashions have chmige-d, and they cannot be worn as the world goes, but they have them still to carry about in their march to the promised land. Many of these customs have lx-eoine burdensome. They lxdong no more to the Jews; the Jews be--long to them, and such transposition of ownership makes a great difference in the spirit and temper of the observances themselves. The present orthordox and reformed divisions of the Jewish church very naturally grew out of the religious and civic situation.

It is also natural that these divisions should drift wider and wider apart. Sweeping change's are constantly taking place in the ritual of the reformed Jewish church. They have their separate temples for worship, separate teachers and newspaper organs. In the old Jewish synagogue the men sat covered in the lxuly of the church, and the women were stowed away in the galleries. In the reformed temple Ixith sexes sit together and enjoy equal privileges of place.

The men also deem it not only Kilite, but find it comfortable io take off their hats in the house. These are very small things, x-rhas, but they constitute a departure. The reformed church has dropjx'd some of its cumbersome ancient Hebrew load, ami is runninglightcrthan the-orthodox purists. The members of it may also have given themselves more license in the matter of diet than the old eode prescribed. Many things good to eat have lx-en discovered since Moses issued his bill of fare.

The Christian world took a notion to discard the original Jewish Sabbath and estali-lish a day of rest for itself. In Christian countries the Jews find it very inconvenient, in a business jxiint of view, to observe their own Sabbath on religious grounds and the Christian Sunday ujxin compulsion, because no regular business is doing around them on that day. The Reformed Jews may have to make another compromise with the general conditions which surround them on all sides, and so they will go drifting away from their old landmarks, but lighter ami livelier at every step. A few days ago another of the twenty-six Jewish congregations in New York ranked itself ujHin the heterodox or reformed side of the Jewish question. It was the B'nai Jeshurun.

The synagogue had been remodeled and threw ojx-n its doors to a mixed congregation, male and female, who occupied family K-wsjustas jx-ople do in any other church. While the improvements were in progress one old Jew lifted uji his voice in the courts, protesting against the innovation as a violation of his rights as a cw-holdcrs and submitting that the changes were "immodest, unchaste, unlawful, and contrary to the rules of said congregation." Tlie court silenced him by deciding that the society had the right to make changes in the mode of worship, and left the question to be decided by the congregation. Of course the conscientious old fellow was ruled out, and so much of the world as worshiped in that house went past him St. hum Jiejniblimii. How a Trial is Conducted in Egypt.

The Hon. George H. Batchler, now a judge in Egypt, has ritten an interesting letter to a friend, describing the peculiarities of the Egyptian courts, which has lx-en published in the Trov Times. Here is a mrtion of it: "I will attempt to de-scrilxj a trial in the court oi assizes, wnicn is owe our uyer ami Terminer. The criminal was indicted for burglary.

After the reading of the indictment, the attorney general makes a short siieech to the jury, ami the counse for the prisoner follows. Then the novelty lxgins. The attorney-general sits quietly by, and so dx-s the counsel for the accused, while the presiding judge examines the witnesses. Commencing with the prisoner himself, he puts him through a fire sharp and severe, debating points with him, and commenting on his statements as he rattles along. Then the witnesses are brought in, and, after lx-ing asked a few questions by the judge, he tells them to make their statements to the jury; here the judge often breaks in, and so tlocs the prisoner, but seldom the attorney-general or the counsel.

The prisoner often gets up a sharp discussion with the judge-, and often addressed the jury, and occasionally judge and jury and attorneys all talk, keeping up a running fire for some time. And thus the evidence is taken. At the close the attorney-general sums ii) to the jury first, and is followed by the counsel for the prisemer, and then the judge sums up usually against the accused in his charge to the jury." VOL.

A recent letter from Chicago to the gives a picture of clerical life which has a valuable hint in it to those who long for such employment to enable them to escape the more lalxirioua work of the farm. A short ei tract is given to show how thoroughly the individuality ami the inahhood must lie crushed out to give place to the mechanical obsequiousness of the clerk i "It is estimated there are 20,000 in Chicago. The salaries of thoo animated automaton range from six to fifteen dollars, seldom as high eighteen dollars, ler week; and how under hHvcn they lflafce the legendary 'two ends' meet is one of the mytenes. The salaries of those who gain their livelihood by their rather than by brains and brawn have Ix-en cut down since the fife fully 100 x-r cent.

There has Wen no reduction in living exjx'iises consequent upon high rent, which has Ix-en very generally maintained. These clerks are compelled to lo) their individuality completely, and have become, in consequence of their virtual slavery, veritable ptipjx-ts. Supposing there was not the constant terror of loss of situation and there is, for an advertisement in the Tribune for any manner of a clerk will bring from 5ou to 1,000 applicants, each able to bring the vert" bet of references' and we may say the clerk receives the munificent pittance twelve dollars per week, which eettuinlv the average salary'.

The Sort of Revival That Is Seeded. We need a revival that is not only a revival of sounder scriptural preaching, but a revival of true Christaiu living. We have had quite a surfeit of the religion which luxuriates in the devout fervors of the prayer-meeting and the campground, which sings sweet hymns and applauds sweet sermons, and then gx-s straight off to its moncy-grasiing and its pleasure-socking, and its panderings to self and sin.

God forbid that we speak lightly of true spiritual emotion. But the Christianity which Christ demands is something dccix-r than a song or sermon or a sacrament. It is the holy and the humble imitation of himself. The revival, then, which we need is a revival of the religion which keeps (Sod's commandments; which tells the truth and sticks its promises hich pays twenty shillings to the jHiuud; which cares more for a gtxid character than a fine coat; which votes at the ballot-liox in the same direction that it prays; which denies ungodly lusts of temptation. A revival which will sweeten our homes, and chasten our press, and purify our politics, and cleanse our business and commerce from roguery and rotteness, would lx- a Ixxm from heaven.

A revival which will bring not only a Bible knowledge but a Bible conscience to all is what the land is dying for. The world's sorest want to-day is more Christ-like men and women. The preaching it needs is more sermons in kIhx-s.
