Among, young writers especially, there is an almost universal tendency to treat their renders to a weak solution ot words, instead of a compact procession of ideas.

East. A main cause of tlai. incre(l»q is a steadily growing disposition to do away with the services of nihtdlomen. At nearly every railroad town of any consequence in ll>e iuterior may be found one or more representetives of Eastern spinners, who purcliase on small commissions snd ship direct by rail, virtually to tho very mill doors. Compresses have been ereded at many of these points to secure all possible advantages from rail ship ments, aud the railroads afford every taeility aud inducement to cotton freights. 1 fully agree with Mr. Fontaine when hejsays the South is a fine field for emigration. The abolition of sla very will make it less difficult for white emigrants to compete iu .agri' cultural pursuits. Mr. Trenliolm dial shown us how the mobility of the la boring population of the South not only excluded immigrants from new territory, and prematurely diminished tlie laboring population of the older Slates, but how in these latter the slaves became massed together as the competition of the richer States of the southwest came to be more and pore felt there. The same causes practically prohibited manufactures, because manufactures, even more than agricul ture, depend upon the fijrity of popu lation. Tlie great development of the manufactures of tbe West, as I pointed out to the Nun’s reporter, lias been due to cheapness of living, and Jo uniform ity and regularity in the supply of the accessaries of life; bat these cuuditions until recently were not. attainable ; in the South, where a large port of the titied by the innocent holder to come forward and pay il.

Indeed, so dangerous would lie a change, or even an ignoring of its foundation purposed and its loundation prosperi ty, that should these errors obtain we may expect to see our city retro grade rather than hope for its ad vancement. „ Athens was made an educational confer, a city of learning and letters, an das such it should and will continue, and be so regarded, at least ditriqg its days of prosperity.

In this country, no matter where, reside ttvo lawyers, no matter whom. Suffice to say these lawyers are young, genial ami deep in legal lore, tod as such are occasionally sought after in criminal cases of smalt import. A very short time ago. no matter when, pro fessional duties called them lieforc a certain Justice of tho Peace in the country. One was to prosecute and tlie other defend. Tlie ease was con ducted with skill and ability, aud tiie Court, unaccustomed to sucli, beamed with deep admiration upon the young lawyers, and was happy. The time arrived for the pro-ecuting attorney to deliver liis speech, and he waxed elo quent ou the subject of carrying con cealed weapons, and made moving appeals in the name of the law that ytstbly affected the'Court, who wept muchly, and mentally vowed venge ance against the culprit. AU at once, however, and from some unaccounta ble cause, his eloquence suddenly ceased. Iris left i leg seemed to be troubling him beyond measure, and he affectionately grasped it with both hands and groaned dismally as he cast an apDeaiing took toward ti e door, as if be desired above all earthly things to be on the outside. AU at once the mystery was cleared tip. , An inno cent revolver serenely glided out of the pants leg ou the floor.

Tim young attorney was unable to of for any excuse, aud the Court promptly fined him $25 anil cost, and hereafter he Ajcill be taore careful. themancen iron horse, and tlie ponderous vagons he pulled along with -uch peed and ease. The thought struck him they would lariat and take in one of these horses for their own use. Accordingly, they procured a v ry troug lariat about three hundred teet long. One hundred Indians bid iu some tall grass near the railroad track, and waited for the next horse to come along A dexterous hand with the lariat was placed in position to throw the noose over tlie horse’s head. Ere long the iron horse came thunder ing along, little dreaming the Red skins were lying in wait to catch him. As he passed the noose was thrown over the “cow-catcher,” aud in a twinkling ono hundred Indians were jerked about three yards flat of their stomachs, their breath knocked out of them, and when they were able to get up on'tlieir feet, they saw the iron horse three or tour miles away, speed ing along as though nothing had hap pened, with the lariat dangling along by the side of the train. They at tered their usual “Ugh ! uglt!” and broke for tlieir mountain fastnesses, and never again did they undertake to lariat another iron horse. Miss.

Prentice arrived in Louisville, it was not as a brilliant voting journalist, looking for a pastion in' which to shine, but as a drunken loafer, utterly uncertain about a place in winch to sleep. In this condition he met and made fi ieuds with a fel- 1 low who was as near a tramp as any that existed in that day, and who was known as a “strolling tinker,” or traveling mender of tin pots. They mado a day of it, to the extent of the funds thov both had, and such credit' as they eouid get, at the risk, of boots their , . applied to their coat-tails.
