A Western Vendetta.
BY J. W. WATSON.

In the summer Of 1888, was
obliged to spend few days in Mem
phis. 1t was then a considerable
town, though, of course, nothing like
its present size or business Importance.
l arrived late at night, and in the
morning, sallying out to see the town,
/ was taken some What aback at OBJ
serving more than half the stores I'M
opened, though it was then after ten
O'Clock. 1t did not take me very long
to arrive at the cause of this, for OBJ
serving stream of people setting
westward through the main street, l
questioned and was answered that IA
fights comm off jist down in the
gully"
l had come fresh from New York
with certain civilized notions respect
ing duels, which made the mans an
swer CRATE rather harshly upon my
ear, and yet with the same morbid Gu
riosity that makes men travel far and
pay we'll TO see a man hanged, | de-
termined to go out and see that fight,
as l saw clearly it babe fair to be o
holiday in Memphis, and that any
business l had to do might as well be
deferred until its citizens had settled
''the fight" l therefore joined the
throng for the gully. and walking hur-
riedly overlook my original informant,
and undertook to get more knowledge
from him. The fight, he told me, was
to be between two men, Waldron and
Jones by name, each representing a
large family of the respective cogno-
mems, and each fighting to settle an
old feud that had existed for over
twenty years, and had already saori-
feed to it three or four members on
each side; for, be it known, that at the
period of which / write, and even
twenty years later, these family quar-
rels were carried out, in the south
west, in all the unforgivingness and
venom of the Italian vendetta, trans
mitted from father to son, from broth
er to brother, and from kinsman to
kinsman, with undying hatred. 1t
was duel of this description | was
going to witness
Twenty minutes walk brought me
upon the ground, where ! found, al
ready, about three or four thousand
persons engaged in every conceivable
occupation, whisky drinking being the
most prominent. There were few
improvised tents upon the ground
where certain antiquated darkies dis
pensed luxuries in the shape of colo
ham and corn-bread, fried chickens
and doughnuts, with various othel
vegetables, and numberless wagons
barrows and ox-carts, each carrying ;
= key or barrel of whiskey either on pri
vate account or TO retail at half dime
a drink. On a liberal calculation
, counted the crowd as three quarter
drunk when | arrived on the ground
/ and fast hurrying to make up the 9th
er quarter The fight, as my inform
, ant stated, was to come off at tel
O'Clock, and as it was then nearly elev
en-, / made no doubt but within few
) minutes should be gratiied with tn
smell of powder in tho first act.

In the report of the Revenue Com
mission we find the following facts
about the profits on teal
The original price of good tea is
about 1Sc per ID. This is the "ship
off price. The Chinese producer does
not get this. There is the export
duty, tolls levied at the various sta
tons on the way to port, expenses OF
packing, and the two or three profits
accruing before the tea reaches the
hands of the exporting merchant.
Adding his profit, the price at Chi
nese port of shipment is, as stated,
about 1Sc. per h. for good tea. Sta
pie grades of black Oolong tea are laid
down in New York at about SOC. per
h., free of duty-that is to say. sin
bond" This includes all charges, sell
ing commission, freight, insurance,
etc. all over this price being profit.
The Commission state that the
profits of the tea trade, after leaving
the importers hands, and before reach
ing the consumer, have been enormous.
They add, that of the profit paid by
the consumer not more than one
fourth reaches the original Importer
Three fourths of it stops in the pockets
of the iobber and the retailer,
/ The Commission tested this by the
following case: A pound of Oolong tea
was purchased of each Of two diifereni
and respectable groeers in New York
on the same day, at 81, 80 per pound
This tea was Immediately taken TO one
of the leading "tea brokers" and valued
by him at market price of 90 cents
for one of the samples, and 93 for the
other.
The market for tea at the time wa
steady, and had been SO for months
gold also being steady at lag to li7
The brokers' valuation, returned t.
the Commission on the samples sub
mitted to him, was the price at whicl
the tea would have been sold by tn
impol ter. The tea in question cost

him closely. He remained standing
motionloss, with his arms folded, his
head bent on his breast, and his eyes
cast on the ground, and but for his

taken him for statue At last the
door opened, and Napoleon came out.
Instantly the Mameluke fell on his
knees at his feet, and bowed his head
to the pavement.
We'll, exclaimed Napoleon, in a
tone of annoyance, what now?
Mighty Emir, said the man, with
his head still bowed, to-day you

power. l have come now to place my
life in your hands. Tell me how

that surprised every one who knew

DEGRADING SUPERSTITION IN SWEDEN
AT a late execution in Sweden a vast
crowd assembled, some of whom en-
deavored to become possessed of some
drops of the blood of the victim, think
ing they would so obtain specific
against epilepsy, cramp and other
diseases. 1t was even observed that a
family in the higher ranks of society,
in large town, had come from some
distance to the place of execution for
the express purpose of obtaining this
talisman, which they were most eager
to procure, as a remedy for one of their
children, who had been grieyously af-
flicted. Immediately after the execu-
ton the crowd pressed around the
scaffold, and tho military guard had
great difficulty in keeping them off
but no sooner had the troops and the
police been withdrawn than men and
women rushed forward and scrapeo
the ground with their hands thai
they might collect some of the bloody
earth, which they subsequently
crammed into their mouths, in the
hope that they might thus get rid o
their diseases.
