HOF
THE ENTERPRISE.
Sweetwater, Thursday, Aug. 3, 187 1.
Tbe yonngludios at Long Branch are
especially addicted to croquet Evident
ly they follow the ndvice of the old song
which says, "If you ve got a pretty foot
show it," and a short dress and a game
of croquet won't allow thorn that opportu
nity, there is no use in looking for it else
where. The New York Commercial Adverti
ser, in alluding to the recent story pub
liihoJ about Jefferson Davis, says: " "No
sonsible person credited the outrageous
yarn. Mr. Davis moral character is as
much above reproach as was tliat of Cn
sar's wife, aud he sacrifice his dignity
in descending to notico such an emana
tion from a western editorial slum."
The news from Paris is that justice is
to bo tempered with mercy, and the
Communist leaders who were sentenced
to be shot are probably to have their
sentences commuted to imprisonment
Nothing is said of tho chief of Farisan
mobocracy, Itochefort, and there would
seem to be a strong reluctance on the
part oftho Government to bring him to
trial The story that he was too 411 to
undergo that process is generally dis
credited. The Connecticut Senuto has passed a
bill which renders null and void all bus
iness dealings for liquors; enables the
purchaser even of a glass of whisky to
recover tho ten cents he pays for it; de
clares null and void all sales, transfers,
contracts, iuit claims, mortgages, at
tachments and hens, made in considera
tion (part or whole) of the sale of any
spirituous liquor; makes null nnd void
all leases of premises if liquor is sold on
them; punmhos by fine of $100 or a
month in jail (or both) the sale of liq
uor to any minor under eighteen years
of age; makes the person who sells re
sponsible for all damages dono by drunk
en men, and permits any tax-payer to
Hiio such seller whenever tho drinker
ibuses his family. Other stringent pro
visions follow.
Tho most touching illustration of rad
ical love for the man nudbrother has
been recently afforded in Mississippi, as
'iveu to the world by the Oxford corres
pondent of the Memphis Appeal A
certain earpet-baggor runs a low grog
sdop, frequented exclusively by negroes.
In the fullness of his affection lor the
dusky race he insured a strong, healthy
fifteenth amendments life for $'2,000.
Cuffee was then strictly sober in his hab
its and implicity believed that tho policy
would operate to prolong bis life to what
ever length he wished. Tho carpet bnggor
next took him into bis employment and
gave him unrestrcitcd access to a barrel
of tho vilest "bust haul" ever compounded
in Cincinnati. Result Coffee was dead
iu about two weeks and his benefactor
pocketed tho 2,000.
Tho vindictcd feeling which exists in
the hearts of the irreligious Homans and
of the Communists of Borne against the
Pone and tho catholic faith is comment
ed upon in the recent letter of a corres
pondent writing from that city. Young
Italy, it is said lull of wrath and not blood,
has ropliod to the provocations offered by
the lower members of the Church party in
the following strain : "If wo are obligod
to abandon Rome by tho intervention of
Henrv v., (Count de Chambord), or any
other sovereign we will first Lurn the Vat
ican, .St. Peter s, and every other church,
bang the Pope, and massacre every priest
and Jesuit in the city." This is a sad com
mentary on the charactor and purposes
of what is known as the party of Italian
unity, to wh:c l Victor JMnmanuel pander
ed when ho occupied tho Holy City with
his troops.
Tennessee Orphan Asylum.
The Board of Managers of the Tenncs-
8oe Orphan Asylum, having determined
to continue their efforts to obtain informa
tion, in regard to the number who will yot
apply for admission into this institution,
therefore request all poisons wno W;Su to
make applications for such children, or
who have knowledge of any for whom ap
plication will be made for, to write innnc-
.hately to Mrs A. It. Mudford, beerotary
of tho Bunrd at Clarksvillo, Tennessee,
u on the subject
All newspapers friondly to tne cause m

this notice several insertions in their

Don't Do It.
No, young man, don't do it Don't
marry dimples, nor anklos, nor eyes, nor
mouths, nor hair, nor necks, nor chins,
nor toeth, nor simpers. These bits and
scraps of feminity are mighty poor things
to tie to. Marry tho true thing. Look
after congeniality, kindred sympathies,
disposition, education, and if these be
joined with social position, or even filthy
lucre, why. don't let them stand in your
way. Get a woman not one of thoso
parlor lay figuros one of those parlor
automata that sit down just so, thuinp a
piano and dote on a whisker. Living
statues are poor things to call into con
sultation. Tho poor littlo mind that can
scarcely fathom tho depth of a dress
trimming, can't be a help-mate on any
account Don't throw away your tinio
upon such trifling things.
Arto-nus Ward says in Mllii Book."
"A female woman is one of tbe greatest
institutions of which the land can boast.
It is imposiblo to do without her. Ob wo
man! woman! vou are an anoel when you
behave your self; but wheu you take oft

speaking) get iuto pantaloons, and under
take to play man, you play tne aerti, ana
are an cniplnmo uuisaoco.
A MOUNTAIN OF SILVER.
Mineral Wealth in Colorado-Discovery
of Immense Ddposlts.
A correspondent of the Denver News
says that the mountain village of George
town is still wild with excitement over
the discovery. Leavenworth Mountain
is within a mile and a half of the Placer
diggings. On iU sides silver was dis
covered by the In graham brothers, two
export Miners, some time in December
last They were in tho employ of the
Equator company, and were drifting
when they canio across large quantities
of mineral imbedded in the "slides,"
both above 'aud below the main vein.
Aftor concluding their work for the
Equator, they went quietly to work for
themselves, and in the course of three
weeks had taken out from $1,000 to $1,
500 worth. One solid chunk weighed
sevon hundred and sixty-six pounds,
and from it they realized over $300.
The work, however could not long re
main a secret, and the "Silver Patch
Diggings" became the rage. The ex
citement spread, and soon Leavenworth
Mountain was a scene of business ac
tivity seldom witnessed. At a distance
the mountain resembled a mammoth ant
hill, so thickly was it beset with
amateur and professional miners. The
scene was an amusing and interesting
one.
Many would "pitch iu" and dig a hole
large enough to contain a largo cat, and
failing to "strike it," would wend their
way down tho mountuin. Those "hav
ing the sand" bent themselves to their
work, and such never failed in being
well rewarded.
"I've struck it," was tho prevailing ex
pression, and whon an unusually large
piece was taken out, there was a rush to
examine it and congratulate the lucky
finder. The largest solid piece that has
yet been found turned tho scalo at four
hundred and thirty-two pounds. We
saw several pieces of pure mineral aver
aging from two hundred to three hun
dred pounds each, which, when essayed,
gave a returu of from 1,500, to 2,000
ounces per ton.
Wirt and Webster's Wit
Daniel AVebstor was once engaged in
the trial of a case in ouo of the Virginia
court;, and tho opposing counsel was
William AVirt, author of the "Lifo of
Patrick Henry," which had been criti
cised as a brilliant romance. In the
progress of the case, Mr. AVebster pro
duced a highly respectablo witness, whose
testimony (unless disapproved or im
peached settled the case uud annihilated
Mr. Wirt's client After getting through
the testimony, he informed Mr. AVirt,
with a significant expression, that he
was at his service. Mr. AVirt rose to
commence the cross-examination, but
seemed for a moment quite perplexed
how to proceed, but quickly as&uming a
manner expressive of his incredulity as
to tho facts elicited, and coolly eyeing
the witness a moment, he said:
"Mr. K , allow me to ask you if you
have cvir road a work called the 'Baron
Munchausen ?' "
Before the witness had time to reply,
Mr. AVebstor quickly rose to his feet,
and said:
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Wirt, for the
interruption ; but there was one quostiou
I forgot to ask the witness, and if you
will allow me that favor I promise not
to interrupt you again."
Mr. AVirt, in tho blandest manner, re
plied:
"Yes, most certainly; when Mr. Av eb-
ster in the most deliberate and solumn
manner, stud :
"Sir, have you ever read Wirt's Patrick
Henry?"
Iheeflectwas irrcsistiole, and even
the Judge could not control his rigid
features. Mr. Wirt himself joined in
tho momontary laugh, and, turning to
Mr. Avobster, said:
"Suppose we submit this case to the
jury without summing np," which was
assented to, and Mr. AVebstor s cheut
won the suit Bench and Bar, by L.
J. Bigelow.
Buried ileauty.
Iu the city of Rome there formerly
stood an linage with its right hand ex
tended and on its forefinger the words
"strike here." Many wise men puzzled
in vain over the meaning of the inscrip
tion; but at last a certain priest obsorved
that whenever the sun shono on the fig
nro the shadow of the finger was dis
cernible on tho ground at a little distance
from the statue. Having marked the
spot he waited until midnight, and then
began to dig. At lost his spade struck
upon something hard. It was a trap
door, below which a flight of morblo
steps descended into a spacious hall,
whero many men were sitting in solumn
silence amid piles of gold and diamonds
and long rows of enameled vasca ,23c
yond this he found another rooui, a
gymnasium filled With beautiful women
reclining on richly embroidered sofas;
yet, here too, was profound silence. A
superb banqueting hall next met his as
tonished gaze; then granaries loaded
with forage; then a stable crowded with
motiouless horses. The whole place was
brilliantly lighted by a carbuncle which
was suspended in one corner of tho ro
ception room ; and opposite stood an ar
cher with his bow and arrow raised, in
tho act of taking aim at tho jewel As
the priest passed bRtk through this hull
he saw a diamond-hilted knife lying on
the tablo; and, wishing to carry away
something wherewith to accredit his
story, he reached out his hand to take
it; but no sooner had he touched it than
all was dark. Tho archer had shot his
arrow, the bright jewel was shivered into
a thousand pieces, the staircase had fled,
and tho priest found himself buried
alive.
"I forgot s great many things which
happenod last year," said s little girl,
while tears ran down her cheeks, "but I
ean't forget the angry words I spoke to
niv dear mother who is now dead."
Yauderbilt'g Beginning iulift.
The newspaper often contain an ac
count of Vauderbilt's beginning. M't
of these) acuounts are apochrypual His
own statement of his first real success is
this:
He was a young man on Stalen Island.
He was master of rowing. IU was ath
letic, strong and daring. One night
stranger cams to the landing and wanted
to be rowed serosa to uowainns. The
night was dark and stormy, and the
wind blew a gale. Not s boatman could
be fonnd who would leave. Tho land
lord said, "There is nobody who can row
ou over bnt Uonu Vandcrbut for so
ie was called. It was doubtful he said.
whether he would da it Vsuderbilt
was found snd in answor to the request,
replied: "It's pretty rough, but if youH
give ins $10, lie down in my boat, and
not stir, or do just what I lid you, I'll
try it" He rowed the man over and
b.ick in safety. As soon as he landed
on btatcn Island, the stramror said:
Young man, how would you like to
run an opposition steamboat V
"Nothing would suit me better." was
the reply.
"Have yon pluck cnondi to obev or-
dors?" stid the stranger.
"1 nave, was tho response.
"Suppose I was to tell tou to run into
a steamboat, wlmt would you do t"
"llun into Her, by ." The bnr-
gnin was soaled amid the storm that
night on the Island, and Vanderbilt soon
began his well-known career as a steam-bottt-man.
Stuten Island Leader.
An old story contains a lesson which
many married collides have not vet
learned. When Jonathan Trumbull was
Governor of Connecticut, a gentleman
called at his houso one day requesting a
private interview. Ha saiil: 'T
called npon a very unpleasant errand,
sir, ana want your advice. My wifo and
I do not live happily tosrethor. and I am
thinking of getting a divorce. AVhut do
yo j advise, sir ?"
llie Uovernor sat a few moments in
thought; then tumim to his visitor.
said, "How did you treat Mrs. AV
wuen you were courting her, and how
did you fool towards hor ut the time of
your marriage? '
faquiro Av replied. "I treated her
as kindly as 1 could, for I loved her
dearly at that time."
" V elL sir. ' said tho Governor. "ra
homo and court hor now just as you did
tuen, aim love nrr as when you married.
Do this in the foar of God for ono year,
and then tell me the result"
The Governor then said "Let usnrnv."
They bowod in prayer and separated.
VY mm a year bad passed away Squire
W cidled again to see the Governor,
and said, '! have called to thank you
ior tno good auvico you gave me, aud
to tell you that my wife and I are happy
as wheu first married. I cannot he
grateful enough for your good counsel."
"I am glad to hear it Mr. Wr ,"
said tho Governor, "and hone vou will
. , y
continue to court your wife as lone as
you live."
The Newspaper.
"The Newspaper," as the Courier-
Journal truly observes, has done "a no
ble shore in bringing the world np to the
sublime attitude it now occupies." It
adds: "The fact that its columns are
the converging focus of tho olectric fluid
as it flashos tho news of all nations
arouud tho world renders the live news
paper an article in unusual demand. In
addition to this the local and domestic
news is reflected daily in its pages. The
statesman and the cross-road politician
must have it The merchant prince and
the peddler are ill at oase until they have
scanned its columns. The professor
and the student, the opulent planter
counting his acres by hundreds and the
small farmer who bares his brow to tho
noonday sun, evince an anxiety to hear
from the great world that can only be
satisfied by the columns of tho daily
newspaper.
Bad Fix for a Lover.
The Wythcvillo Dispatch relates the
