the great majority are of course negroes,
though there is great suffering among the
whites, consequent upon the unsettled con-
dition of the country and the ruin of the

freedmen political supremacy the radicals
have succeeded in impressing them with the
idea that they are to be supported without
work. Never was policy more ruinous than
thato Of the Jacobin Congress.

MURDERS IN SHELBY.-The Memphis Ap-
peal of Sunday says
About half mile north of Shelby Depot,
and about four miles from Hickory Withe,
the bodies Of too men were discovered in the
Loosahatchie River, and were drawn to the
shore. They had eyidently been murdered
and thrown in the river One had been shot
in the head and the other in the back, with
buckshot One Of them had letter freq
his mother, addressed to J. Pratt The other
had q fve-dollar note. They were both
plainly dressed, we're evidently strangers,
and had been in the water about two weeks.
1t is thought that they were victims of the
prowling band who have been committing
outrages in that vicinity and as yet have
eluded the vigilance of the people Of the
Deighborhood, who have been successful
only in the capturing and executing of one Of
the most daring among them.

BOWED Turkey This noble bird, the
pride of American tables, cannot easily be
recognized after undergoing tho culinary
process termed boning," but for a cold
relish, the Germantown Telegraph says,
nothing more acceptable need be sought 1t
is a fayorite dish at evening parties It may
be thus prepared: Boil turkey in as little
water as may be, until the bones can be
easily separated from the meat. Remove all
the skin; cut the meat in thin slices, mixing
together the light and dark parts. Season
with salt and pepper. Take the liquid in
which the turkey was boiled, having kept it
warm, pour it on the meat and mix it well.
Shape it like loaf of bread, wrap It in
cloth, and press with a heavy weight for a
few hours. When served up 1t is cut in
thin slices

In getting wet there is great danger of
taking cold. When a person is wet he ought
never to stand, but to continue in notion
till he arrives at a place where be may be
suitably accommodated. Here he should
strip off his wet clothes, to be changed for
such as are dry, and have those parts of his
body which have been wet well rubbed with
dry cloth. Tho legs, shoulders and arms
are generally the parts most exposed to wet j;
they should, therefore, be particularly at
tended to- It is almost incredible how
many diseases may be prevented by adopting
this course.
