A FINE FIoURE.-The following is
from the recent speech Of Mr.. GLAD
STONE, the British Chance lor Of the
Exchequer. 1t appears with equal
force to individuals and nations:
There is nothing so insidious as
financial difficulty. 1t approaches
with smiles and caresses. Borrow
ing for the first time appears open
to no objections. There is nothing
in it alarming or menacing. 1t IS
like the cub Of the lioness, spoken Of
BY one Of the Greek poets, which
was rashly taken BY the hunter in
bis house. When it was young 1t
was reared FFith his dogs and placed
among his children. It was mild in
temper, and fawned upon every one,
But when it grow up and felt its
strength, it deluged the house with
gore.

THE VALUE

Of wool has fuctuated greatly since
its culture commenced in this coun~
try but has never sunk below figures
highly remuneratve to the farmer.
AS early as 1907 and 1903 full blooded
merino wool sold in the cast for Sl00
per pound, aud in 1909 it rose to
about 200 dollars and 90 continued
through the war Of 1912, choice lots
bringing as high as $3.50 per pound
but in 1915 it again sank to com
parative low price. In 1873 coarse
to medium was worth 80 to 45c per
pound and fine from GO to 20. Com
ing down to more modern times we
find that during the recent rebellion
wool, which had previously borne
quite a moderate valuation, once
more lea,,ed almost tothe "war prices

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. FRIDAY Ey

great South, was rapidly increasing, and
New England saw at no very distant day,
the loss of her power in Congress, and
the consequent repeal Of the protective
tariffs and fishing bounties Itwas these
selfish motives that impelled these States
to seek dissolution of the Union. Sla-
very was not the cause. The most ab-
ject slaves and the hardest ask-masters
in the United States, have always been
in New England. Abolition was simply
the hobby upon which to carry out the
design of disunion. The leading men of
the Abolition party were traitors purely
through the love of money. All of them
who were not thus actuated, were the
dupes and fools of those who were. It
not new discovery Of the President,
that an Abolitionist is a traitor. In a
speech which Andrew johnson delivered
at Columbia, Tenn, June 2, 1862, he
said IAN Abolitionist is disunionist,
disunionist is a secessionist, a seces-
sionist is disunionist. There is not a
particle Of difference between them"
Daniel Webster, who knew them well,
gave the following opinion of these scoun-
drels in his last days: If the Internal
fanatics and Aboitionists ever get the
power into their hands, they will over
ride the Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, change and make laws
to suit themselves, lay violent hands on
those who differ with them in opinion, or
dare question their infalliblity, and
finally, bankrupt the country and deluge
it with blood This prophetic warning
has already been verified to the letter,
and this idea will forever prevail in the
future, aud be so noted by the impartial
historian, that this Government began at
the wrong place TO put down the rebel
lion. The rebellion proper, originated
with the Abolitionists of New England,
and there is where the bloody work Of
vindictive retribution should have com
menced. 1t is the influence of Eastern
capital, expended among vile, unprinci-
Piled newspaper men, and broken-down
politicians all over the country, that
causes the preseut disunion of the States,
and in all probability, will continue to
prevent all hope of reunion, until pun
lshment is meted out where il is deserved.
Sumner should be substituted for JEFF.
Davis, and Garrison and Phillips for
Wirz and Gee; and instead of the pre-
posed law to prevent all Southern men
above the rank of Colonel from holding
office, there should be law passed, that
every Alb ,lition legislator who had.yoted
for the Personal Liberty bills, and all
members of the present Congress, as well
as all those Northern men who have
made themselves prominent as disunion-
lists and in stirring up and melting the
war of the rebellion, should be forever
incapable of holding any office of profit
and trust. When this bill is passed and
put into execution, then, and not till then
will justice be appeased.

The Great "ocsan Stream ;!

The Baton Rouge Adrocate says Of
Wednesdays storm, beneath which the
great levees broke through:
We have never known the river to be
so rough as on that day. Great waves
that would have done honor 20 the Allan
tic lashed and beat the frail leyees until
the alarm of the people living behind
them became general At the railroad
depot in West Baton Rouge an overflow
seemed at one time inevitable, and would
certainly have occurred but for the ac-
tivity and energy displayed by Messrs
Barrow and Hill in preventing it.
Steamboats, and other craft were unable
to face the furious gusts that swept the
face of nature, and fortunate indeed
we're those that found friendly bend to
protect them from the storm.
Besides the Morganza and Grand
levees, the parish levee on the upper line
of West Baton Rouge broke through, and
will of course add its waters TO the over
flowing foods of Chinn' and Robertson s
crevasses and afterwards joining with the
great Morgana food below, deluge the
whole of Southern Louisiana During
the cold, pelting rain, also, the young
cotton was literally beaten to death A

We take the above extract from one of
many letters giving the status of affairs

Playing Cards for Kisses.

dice of good order Louis keeps saloon
on Canal street, near Monroe. He has
a young wife, and the two amuse them
selves, on these spring evenings, by sit
ting in the saloon and playing euchre,
with kisses for stakes 1t so happened
that several people stood at the window
and peered in at the chinks and crannies
at this spectacle of homelike bliss. A
couple of officers, noticing the crowd,
Joined it, and themselves peered. But,
at that unhappy moment, it came to pass
that the husband had won the game,
and, with magnanimity at once un-
asked for and insulting, declined to re-
ceive his dues. She threw the cards in
his face. He slapped her She lifted a
chair and threatened him. The devil of
discord held at once entire possession
He seized and shook her The police
men went in and arrested them both
Their faces we're red, their eyes sparkled,
and their mouths nervously twitched
When they came before the justice, how

The National Bank Failure-Fenians at
Jones' Woods,

New YORK, May Is. The Post Wash
ington special says developments in the
Merchants National Bank failure, under
the investigation of the House Commit
tee, are very bad 1t is believed ma
jority of the committee will report against
permitting any deposits in national
banks of Government funds But if this
proposal fails stringent regulations will
be adopted.
An immense body of men and women
attended the Fenian demonstration at
Jones Wools to day. The O'Mahony
faction, thus far, is the only one to
acknowledge " the organizer, " as Ste
phens is called. The Roberts men stand
aloof. These men number thousands,
and there is supposed to be but little
prospect Of perfect union here, even
upon the question of national sovereign
ty. The examination of the Treasury of
the O'Mahony men by direction of Ste
phens shows only $500 remain, but by
selling the lease of the Union Square
headquarters, the sum of Sll 900 could
be obtained There is a deficit of $780,
900, which none of the men who ought to
know the facts will explain.
