The New Albany Ledger relates the fol-
lowing little domestic joke which occ urTed
in that city
A few days ago married lady, in the
absence of her husband, took his mail from
the postofice, he having left orders with
her TO forward it to him. Among the let
ters was delicately tinted, rose-perfumed
note, addressed in the handwriting of a
female. Without losing any time the seal
was broken, and the wife read in the de-
spair Of loving heart TO "Ay Dear, and
appointing meeting at certain house on
one Of the back streets that evening. The
wife anxiously awaited the hour, and de-
termined to visit the house at the appointed
hour and see who the rival in the affections
Of her liege lord could be. a
As matter Of course, the female sho
wrote the note vas on hand, and Judge OF

versatlon, each bent on finding out the OBJ

wife said she expected TO meet friend,
while the other informed her OF whom she
intended to meet, mentioning another per-
son than her husband. The married woman
was highly pleased TO learn that 1t Eas not

THE DISEASE kMONG CATFL 4.

Many animals die while eating. The ap-
petite and digestive organs remain unsl-
tered through the whole course Of the dis
ease. Sometimes cattle, while grazing on
the lawn, suddenly fall, and die in a few
minutes, whose eanditiOn short time be-

Then Its invasion is sudden and often with
out premonition. A physician who has
seen a number of animals die from it, in
forms us that the external swelling presents
more of the characteristics of eFysipslas
than any thing else, and suggests that the
disease may be epidemic erysipelas among
cattle. 1t travels quite rapidly, going over

cholera. The mortality is generally from
sixty to eighty per cent. Of cases attacked.
There seems TO be no preventiye-iso-
laled localities having been visited as se-
verely as those in the thOrOughfare. The
most si6eacious remedy yet used, we be-
lieve, is the following Nitrate pOtass, three
drachms water, two pints mix and admin
lister every four hours DUNG the first twen-
ty-four hours after the disease is discovered.
Then mix six ounces whisky and one
drachm tincture ferri, and give every three
or four hours. When thes efusions on
the surface attain sufficient size TO open,
make free incisions long and deep. Dress
the wounds with sweet oil, linseed oil, or
the cold water dressing. Unnecessary, give
a saline cathartic of EPSON salts. Keep
the animals in the shade, or let them Craze
in shady place. Under no circumstances
are they to be used or exercised. 10 case
of suaocation, open the wind pipe in the
median line, with sharp knife, by diyid-
ing three or four rings, and arrest the he
morrhage caused by the operation with
persulphat of iron. Convalescence will
cover period ofthree or four weeks.
We have devoted some space to this sub
ject, knowing that it is one ofVitBl interest to
our country readers. We would be glad
to see our medical friends take hold of it,
give their experience and views, aud clear
up all the phenomena of the disease.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS-FLAM
LEAP THOUSANDS OF FEET.
From the Denver NOws. July :.

The people of Denver will remember,
about a week ago, Friday week in fact,
cloud Of smoke thai arose from the noun
tains and formed band half way round
the horizon, obscuring the sun, 90 that
some thought il was an eclipse. Mr.. Z. j.
Sweet, of Central, informs Us that it was
from a fire in the woods, just above George
Town, which got out through carelessness.
il started just below the Equator lode, aud
merely licking the foliage and gummy
bark, scathed a track, mostly east Of The
creek, about three miles square, 10 almost
no time. Had anybody been in its course,
he must have been burned, the flames
seeming 10 leap from thousand 10 Eve

consumed, and about five thousand cords
Of corded wood. The heat eonld be plain
Iy felt one and half miles distant from
the FIRE, and at a distance of half a mile

TRENTON, TENN, July IS, lS68.-The
Democratic Convention Of this Congress
sional district met here on yesterday.
Lauderdale, Dyer, Gibson and Henry
counties were all represented in the con-
vention. Harden j. Turner, os Lauder
dale, and voter under registration msnip-
ulation, was chosen eiector. 1t is the true
policy 10 select voters, where they can be
gotten for such stations. It is not known
positively whether he will accept. Gen.
Thorpe, Of Henry, was chosen alternate.
Resolutions iHdorsing with unanimIty
and cordiality the New York nominees,
and urging the organization Of Democratic
clubs in each civil district in each county
Of this Congressional district, were passed.
Likewise was a resolution offered and
passed, without a dissenting voice, If we
heard Alright, reciting, that inssmuch as
President johnson had issued an amnesty
proclamation recently, etc, and III view of
the condition Of things surrounding us
therefore, that a committee be appointed to
prepare and forward to the Legislature of
the State Of Tennessee, soon 10 convene in
extra session, a memorial for this district,
asking for repeal Of any franchise restric-
tions now resting upon the white people OF
our State. s
This county will have a large political
gathering in few days. As it is trne that
our situation in Tennessee is pre-eminently
cursed, 80 let our efforts for deliverance be
pre-eminently great. HAL. .

rmE CorTON WORM IN TExAs.

A gentleman in the vicinity Of Cat
Spring., Austin county, informs the Texas
C0tmhg7ada that the worm has appesred in
his neighborhoOd, and is committing great
destruction on the young cotton and other
vegetation.
The Galveston Disp1ieL Of the l0th says
il is reliably Informed that this insect has
also made its appearance in great numbers
in Fort Bend and Polk counties making
sad havoc upon the cotton crop, and fears
are entertained that ihe yield in these
counties will he materially il not totally
cut short.
We copy as follows from the Galveston
Nars Of the lOh:
. We have undoubted intelligence from
Fort Bend county regarding Ihe appear
ance Of the cotton worm, which seems 70
contradict the statements contained in the
letter published yesterday. From the Kyle
and Terry plantation we learn that email
worm has appeared in the fields OF that
neighborhood in insufficient numbers 10
T do any damage, and which Is not like the
armv worm either in color, appetite, or
odor. A gentleman from Richmond in
the same county, gives us leave 10 say that
the scare about the worm is about over ;
that the grass worm has come as usual, and
a. usual varies his diet by nibbling dainty
as some Of the tender leaves Of the cotton,
but that he has no stripes across his back
and is not the unmisiakable army worm.
BY the same train gentleman from Whar-
ton county arrived, and declares the cotton
worm has not appeared 10 that county, that
they have had no rain in three days, and
that the planters feel secure if there is no
! more rain in fortnight

THE CROPS,

We are still having most favorable
weather. Abundant showers have sener-
ally prevailed, and all kinds of crops are
pushing forward with unexampled rapid.
ity. The soil has recovered from the ef-
feet of the long, beating rains, and it works
up loose and spoBgy after the plow and
hoe, condition highly favorable for the
growth of the roots of plants, and which in
ordinary seasons is attained only through
assiduous cultivation, or ia deeply
plowed or drained ground. Since plant
ing-time-late as it was-corn, potatoes and
other farm products have had an unchecked
growih-also another unusual condition
and there can now be little doubt that there
will be no check between this and maturity.
When crops have such a growth, the yield
must be heavy and of extra value. These
remarks apply more particularly to the
loans and clays of the sea-board, compris-
ing fully three fourlhs of this section but
by all accounts from the West, and also
from the intervening region, the conditions
aud prospects are similar and, up to this
date, il is safe to predict that the general
harVests Of this year will be something in
excess of several past years. In the future
are possible droughts and frosts, and rust,
chinch bug, and other insects and other ad-
verse canses may diminish the expected
yield, but this is for future, not for pres
ent estimate.
In England, the hay crop, mostly hsr-
vested, is acknowledged considerably
lighter than last year, owing to the want
of rain, but the same cause has been favor
able to wheat and other grains. Alderman
Mechi writes to the London Times that the
heat and drought have been favorable to
productions on heavy clays, and that
great contrast is presented in comparison
with the laid and twisted crops of last year.
1t was thought that in Essex wheat-cutting
would commence by the middle of July.
Another writer, in giving summary Of the
conrse of the seasons from 1916 to 1850,
states that the summer of 1926 was the hot
test and driest ever known; in Devonshire,
cattle had to go miles for water, and yet
the harvests were abundant.-Ne0 York

NO HOPE FOR GRANTIN NEW YORK

The New York Sun (which supports
Grant has the frankness, IS well as the
foresight, to say;
"The cause of the Republicans in this
State seems to-day simply hopeless. They
may accomplish something by better or.
ganization and by skillful electioneering.
They are also sure to gain voies even in this
city by the great prestige of the names
upon their ticket, and by some of the points
in their platform. But on the other hand,
they will find that liberty and lager are
hard powers TO fight against, and that with
Horatio Seymour for President, and John
T. Hoffman for Governor, the Democracy
will have in 1868, as they had in 1867,
more than $4,000 majority in eight coun-
ties alone. These are hard figures TO beat !;
and though we are rejoiced to see that the
Republicans are going TO put iu their best
efIorts-for il would be disgusting to have
such an election 60 by in this State without
struggle and without interest-yet our
conclusion, looking calmly and impsrtislly
at the whole question, is that the Democra-
cy must carry New York in spite of every
thing"

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The debate in
the House on the Missouri contested cleo
ton case was interesting, and although the
Election Committee reported in favor of
SWitzler, the conservative Radicals refused
to give him a seat, but recommitted the
case on charge of disloyaIty, which issue
was raised only to-day. The secret of this
maneuvering is that if Switzler is allowed
seat the registered vote of Galloway
county stands, and the Radicals declare
that under the registry law as applied to
that county, Missouri will go Democratic.
The Election Committee profess their in
tention to do justice, but believe that party
necessity will exclude Swilzler.
Notwithstanding reports, an eally ad-
journment of Congress il is certain will not
occur until several political bills are passed
over the Presidents veto, and proelama-
tion of the ratification of the fourteenth
amendment by requisite number of States
issued. s.B a-
