By WILD EDeERroS.

The conquered South Who tells the idle story ?
Who bids 1t live, the tale Of blood and woe
Is there delight in retrospect so CORY
The war-worn victor whispers sadly 'No."
The conquered South? It wakes no thrilling chord
To cheer reunited nations heart;
It tells Of devastating flame and sword,
And wounds yet tender from the battles smart.
The conquered South? What's won if love and
trust
Are lost, and hearts are still e. tranced and cold
If steel must meet the bayonet's mad thrust,
Let hands unarmed receive tbs grasp OF old.
The conquered South Beneath sheltered dome
The sorry speech i oftenest detained
Those who have fought now gladly welcome home
The prodigal and brother new reclaimed.
The conquered South IT'S hate that prompts the
boast
Blind hate that viii not tfuant hearts forgive.
Hate that would smIte a brave, detenceless host,
And bid the bitterness Of discOrd live.
The conquered SOUTH Sealed be the sneering
That prat 5 Of traitors and relentless foes
When treason in the North is crushed. the South
With loyalty shall blossom as the rose.
The conquered South! Land beauti al and bright
Heed not the idle words that goad thee now
Fond hands would lift theeErom the battles blight
And place the crown Of Union on thy brow.
The conquered South Boast not the bitter end,
Oh, giant Nerth imperiOus in thy pride
Each gallant fOelnan won to be a friend
Is worth an hundred warriors to thy side.

Who holds the sunny land IN letters fast
Holds with the magic of friendly hand,
And says in kindness LET the past be past"

Is Consumption Contagious.

Popular belief has generally been on the
side of the contagiousness of pulmonary
consumption. In Southern Europe, it is
part of sanitary Legislation to destroy the
clothes and bedding Of those who have died
of this disease. Until recently, the opin-
ions of medical men have leaned to the 9TH
er side. Experiments and observations
now being mads in Europe seem TO show
that tubercle introduced by inoccuation in
to the body of healthy animal will give
rise to tuberculosis or the formation and
deposit of the like matter in the tissues and
organs. DR.. Gerhardt terminates his pa
per on the treatment Of continued fevers by
some remarks.on the transmission Of pull
monary consumption from one person to
another, when sleeping in the same bed.
"a He says :
81 should set down the probability of
consumption occurring to persons thus ex-
posed to contagiOn, as husband and wife,
two sisters or two brothers, sleeping to-
gether in close rooms, to be at least three
fold greater than ordinary. if they be long
exposed to inhale the exhalations from one
patient to another"
AS regards the prognOsis of cOnsump-
ton, or the judging of the period gifts du-
ration, DR.. Gerhardt speeks very properly
of the difficulty of making it, and cautions
against telling patients that they have con
sumption. which is interpreted BY them to
be decree of death:
"This popular beliefs Of course an abb
surdity, for person may live while labor
ing under tubercular disease, nearly or even
quite as long as if he were not affected
with it."
We are not to understand by this that as
a general thing a cOnsumptive patient will
live long, but only that consumption is not
always fatal disease, nor one that invaria-
bly, shortens life.

After Ten Years.

All our readers. we suppose, have read
more or less about boys who have run away
from home in their youth to go to sea, or to
search for adventure. A gentleman from
Williamson county tells us of case of this
kind in which the hero. after an absence of
ten years, has just returned home. The
wanderer is the son of a well-to-do farmer.
He became dissatisfied with the prosaic
lie of the country and the monotonous la
Dor OF following the pillow, and when fifteen
years of age packed mp one spring morn
ing a little bundle and started out to seek
his fortune. He came to Nashville, where
he took passage on a steamboat down the
river. At Vicksburg his money gave out
and he thence worked his way to New Or
leans. Thence he shipped on vessel to
Cuba and made several Voya ges back and
forth between that island and the Crescent
city. He finally shipped on a merchant
man bound for China. and was wrecked off
the coast of Sumatra. Here be lived for 8
full year. He again took to the sea and
made voyages to all parts of the world, du-
ring which time he was twice shipwrecked
and formed, on one occasion, one of the
! three survivors of crew of sixteen Dur
ing the third year of the war, Waldron, such
Is the young mans name, was in Buenos
| Ayres. South America, herdng cattle on
the Pampas. He kept at that employment
for several years, acquiring meanwhile, a
considerable property. Not loEHzsince a

The white population of Memphis is a.
bout fifty thousand. The negro population
is about fifteen thousand. The negroes
gave 1900 votes at the late city election.
There were 1000 white men in the city,
but 1900 of them were disfranchised, so
that they pOlled only 24OO votes. Only
one white person voted ont of every twenty.
whilst there was a negro vote for every
four negroes. Thus $4,000 white men in
a great city are under the control Of 1000
niggers.

The present year is said to be one for
the appearance of the seventeen year locust.
The Observer published at Centreville,
Massachusetts,. states that the locusts made
their appearance in Maryland in 1899, and
returned every seventeen years after that
time, last appearing in 1851.
