rTo LaFayeHe and ISatk,

It is rather a laige undertaking to
yoss Lookout mountain, when the mer
it ry stands up in the nineties, but neces
ity is not only the mother of invention,
.ut slie is also the parent of energy in a
reat measure. So in became very nec
tary that We cross this “pre-eminence,
jiui 12plus 2 when sol seemed to he doing
ns level host to melt all things tenes
r c
rial* in conmpuny with a discipleof Es
ulapius also a student of Elaeksteuo,
Vlioseevery day name is Dr. Lumpkin,
tightened the leathern straps on the
Sag’s spinal column, and shoved out lor

with his whiskers said if
Von make it across the mountain this af
ternoon, you are in posossion of a better
horse than I^think you are.” Rut at
this we were not discouraged. And
driving on we soon caiiie to the base of
‘the mountain. Here we met the good
{Samaritan, in the person of Rill Eoat
bnan, who offered us his large balaam to
quill us up the mountain, so in a twink
ling we took Mollie out of the buggy
and tied in the long-eared stock, and ho
'walked up the mountain with that
buggy and two men just like there was
nothing tied to him. We whirled on
over the top of the mountain culling our
oxygen with more freedom. We noticed
the finest oats we ever saw raised on the
V'"
mountain. The water is getting very
low on the mountain, and the stock arc
crowding the springs to get water, but
the grass looks remarkable well for the
dry weather, At gri/.ly twilight
we were at LaFayctte save about ten
miles, stopped all night with t\w 1
of Mr. Milch Coulter. Sunday
at ten o’clock we drove into the quiet
little village of LaFayettc. Here we
received the liotpitality of Mr. Hugh
Lumpkin and fiis kind mother. At
night we preached in the Methodist
church.
LaFavette is a very pleasant little
village, and we saw some very handsome
buildings embowered wif h luxuriant ev
ergreen and flowers of every variety,
and shaded by beautiful and stately locus
trees; which were planted in 1825. The
people seemed kind and inteligent
"We had tl:e pleasure of a vi.sit to the
house of Rro. Me Han, and was Wei!
pleased with his family. Mr. Edgar
Me llan, the proprietor of the Messengoi
is a genial, clever, and indiistriom; young
man, and deserves much credit for his
enterprise. Rro. A. Median is not hurt
with industry, hut is a wholesouled Rap
tist and makes a good editor. The Mes
senger is a good paper, and the people </l
Walker to appreciate it enough
to give it a lively support.
Monday morning we drove out for
home, and though it was very hot we
made good time, and while yet the sen
hung high up in the sky we drove into
Rising Fawn.
It may bo interesting to some of our
readers who hove friends and relatives
in Texas, to hear what I have to say
about the “Star State Jn the first
place, I think its the best place in.the
world for a poor man; and when rich men
go there they never return, which proves
it is the best place lor them also, I
have read letters saying “poor men bad
better stay at borne;” this is all talk.
Lot Killian (as some of oui readers re
member) left here a few months since
with just enough money to get himsell
and family to Fort Worth; L saw him
in Fort Worth, and he told me that lie
], a d bought two good cows, a horse, and
thought his cotton crop would huv him
a fnnn this fall. If he had remained in
the “old country"’ (as Texans call it)
he w< u cl nevtv have had even one c w.
(food men get from 12|o 13 dollars
■pci litomli for work or. the farm, take
care of stock ivc.
If any class of men ought to slny
away from Texas, it is tlio professional
man, as cveiy oilier one yon meet is a
professional man.
The couniiy west of l oit is
being settled up very rapidly. Seve’al
hundred hands are engaged at work on
the new road between Fort Worth and
Weatherford over which they propose to
have trains running by September next.
Those western trains are always crowd
ed with passengers, but 1 was informed
by one of their conductors that at least
half of the travel was free; there-fore
we perceive at once the generosity that
exists in the west.
Ry the aid of our friend dim Sutton,
Passenger agent in Chottanooga, we
were kindly furnished with passes to
Fort Worth and return, for which we
ate under many obligations.
Well, you have all heard oft.he“oow
Roys;” a heavy set of boys they are too!
If one of them were to come out here
with his uniform on, and riding one of
those duck-legged ponies, and with those
big white handle pistols bucketed
on him, our boys would eat him alive,
though in Texas you find very lew men
that can rakeup courage enough to tackle
ou3 of ’em. They wear leather pants,
big spurs and a big hat.
Fanners living on the prairie usually
raise two crops on the same piece ol
g.iound in one season. When I got to
Fort Worth they had thrashed wheat,
and had planted part of the stubble
and in ottuian l part in corn, aW of
which was looking well when 1 left.
While there I had the pleasure ol
meeting Mr. Elev Austin, who is well
kowu here. He insisted on my going
out home with him, but being a little
“home sick” I was compelled to decline.
Mr. A. is a jovial old gentleman. Said
he was going to send ns ten subs, for the
Gazette; they have not yet arrived
We saw some of their “jack Habits.”
Their eais are long enough to make sad
dle skirts. They are white and very
pretty. If Dave Forester was to see one
oil Lookout, mountain lie would’nt come
home till his face would be a rod long.
I guess 1 have said enough about Tex .
for this time hut I’ll say # this: I believe
a man can make ss*there while lie can
make one here. D. M. C.
Tlie Familv Wagon*
How many a man’s life has centered
) .-out the wogon ! Asa child, lie rides
as a treat, to the hay-field with 1 1 is
father; as a lad, he walks beside the
leader, and gets the first idea of the
great world when they v isit the market
town; as a man, he takes command and
pilots the ship for many a long, long
year. When he marries, the wagon,
lent for his own use, brings home his
furniture. After a while his own chil
dren go l’ora ride in, and play in it when
stationary in the shed. In the painful
ending, the wagon carries the weak-kneed
old man in pity to and lrom the old
town for his weekly store of goods, or
mayhap for his weekly dole of that staff
of life, his aged teeth can hirdly grind.
And msnv a plain coffin has the old
wagon ca rie l to the distant church
vard on the sicl 3of the hill. It is a cold
spot, as life, t a), was cold and hard ; yet,
in the spring the daises will come, and
the thrushes will sing on the hough!
The senate has n worrying over a
bill to prevent the linger furnishing
of intoxicating liquors within two miles
of elections. .
The veas and nays were called-for on
t! c bill offered by lloii.M. A, E. Tatum,
of this county, to abolish the state ng
riculural bureau, with the following re
sult, Of) yeas and 82 nays. Pending
this pill Mr. Livingston made these re
marks ; “Dade >vas a large state and it
would take a man a longtime to catch
ambit in it, but she sent her trade to
Tennessee, what legislatures and the
constitutional convention had in vain
endeavored to do, Dade had better let
alone.”
The Gonst it ut ion of yesterday has
! this to say ; “Mr. Tatum, of Dade, the
author of the hill, instead of closing the
debate himself, yielded his lime to Mi
]Miller, of Houston, and Mr. King oi

Does Her Own Work.
Docs she ? What of it. ? Is it a dis
grace ? Is she any the less a true woman
less worthy of respect than she who sits
idle in clothes, vain of fingers that
never labor ? “Does her own work.”—
We listened to this sneer a few days ago
and the tone in which it was uttered be
tokens a narrow ignoble mind, better
fitted for any place than a country whose
institutions rests on honorable labor as
one of the chief corner stones. It evinced
a false idea of true womanhood, of no
bility. It showed the detestable spiiit
of case, of rank, which a certain class
try to establish—a caste whose sole foun
dation is money, Position in their rank
is bought with gold, and each additional
dollar is another round in the ladder by
which elevation is gained.
moral Character.
There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty and power <f man, as a
good moral character. It is bis wealth
—his influence —his life. It dignifies
him in every station, exalts him in ev
ery condition, and gloryfies him at every
period of life. Such a character is more
to be desired than every tiling on earth,
It makes a man free and independent
No servile tool, croaking sycophant,
or treacherous honor-seeker ever bore
such a character. The pure joys of
truth and righteousness never spring in
such a person. If young men but knew
how much character would dignify and
exalt them, how glorious it would make
their prospects, even in this life never
should we find them yielding to tlie
groveling and base born purposes of the
vicious.
Yellow Fever.
The latest news is that the yellow fe
ver panic in Memphis has subsided. It
is thought by those who ought to know
something about it, that there will not
be much in f Memphis this year, and none
in Chattanooga. Rut there is one thing
that we are compelled to notice, and that
is, the course the and imes took last year,
and the one taken by that paper ibis
year. Last year if there was any vil
liage or town quarentined against the
yellow fever, the Times was tnc first
to publish it as being-filled with selfish-,
