Wnman,s Rnrdans Linhtened.

It is a common saying that "a wO-
mans work is never done" and the
saving is too true. From early dawn
to deWy eve, and often far in the ST.
lent hours OF the night, woman al
ways finds work for her busy hands.
And thus il is that she sometimes is
heard TO exclaim that she "nerer has
q moment to call her OUH.' Work and
toll by day-toil and work by night
unceasing Kindergarten lily paid
for or unrequited. But science has
come to wOman's aid, and in a great
degree Iightened her burdens. Wheel
er & Wilson have proved themselves
the true friend of wOmankind, andb by
inventing and perfecting their sewing
machines, are entitled to the proud
appellation of wOman's benefactOr.
1t were needless for Us to more than
call the readers attention to the
Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma.
chimes. In this community their su.
porior merits are too well known tC
need any praise from US, and in al
competition throughout the world
thew have stood the test, and to-day
| stand before the country iCithOUt q sU
periOr in public estimation.
Now, it should not be with any
man of question of dollars and cents
whether he will have a sewing ma
chine or not; for it is, whether he 81
regards it or not, a question of length
of life and happiness to those in whom
he is most interested-his oJCn family
At Nc. 256 Second street a machin'
can be obtained by paying ten dollar

rate his means, can longer have al
excuse for denying his family tn
blessing of a sewing machine.

LOskjaw Cured by Tobacco,

A writer in the Scientific american
gives an instance of the cure of te,
tanus or lockjaw by an application Of
tobacco on the pit Of the stomach: A
soldier had been wounded in the foot,
and having taken cold in it, tetanus
ensued. The Major of the Tenth In
diana cavalry, of whose regiment the
soldier was a member, casually
learned his condition, and as it was q
case Of life or death anyhow Tor rather
certain DEATH, resolved to try an ex-
pertinent and save him If possible.
The man had the l0ekjaw more than
forty hours; they had no medicines
along useless if they had); and the
Majors Oniy resource was a plug OF
navy tobacco. He cut of a square OF
it (abOut three inches square), putt IL
in a mess pan with boiling water nI5
til it was hot through ana saturated
with the water; taking it out ne al
lowed it to cool, so as not TO blister,
then aatening It out, he placed II ON
the Dit of the stomach. In about five
minutes the patient turned white
around the lips, which also began to

C-ircumstantiaI Evidence.

a striking example OF cireumstan-
tial evidence is given by the Paris cor
respondent of the american Literary
Gazette: In March, 1874, CondOrcet,
under sentence of death and Outlawed,
Yentured into an inn in the suburbs
of Paris, to breakfast. He had been
wandering for some days in theneigh-
boFhOOd, hiding during the day in
abandoned quarries, even then nu-
merOus in that quarter. Tired of such
a life, cold, hungry, weary, he deter
mined tUrun The risk of entering the
first inn he met. He had quilted
Paris without a passport, but he had
put on a round Jacket of coarse gray
cloth, and wore a wooden cap, such as
teamsters wear, and he hoped no one
would recognize him in this disguise.
When he entered the inn he ordered
an Omelet. The master asked how
many eggs he should put into it. Con-
dorcet, who was ignorant of domestic
affairs, ordered half a dozen. This
circumstance aroused the i~nnkeeper's
suspicious, and the d~is0rdeFed clothes
covered with mud, disheveied hair,
unkempt beard, worn and melanehOly
face heightened these suspicious. Con-
dorcet observed them, and, to remove
them, drew from his pocket a hand
some portfolio, the last vestige OF his
past splendOr. Amember of the Rev
dictionary Committee was seated IN
the coffee room of the inn. The ele-
gance of the portfolio showed him the
new conner was on "aristOcrat." He
at once had him arrested, Bnd carried
to the prison at BOurg-la-Rheine, and
ordered him to start without tasting
food. COndOrcet, who had eaten no.
thing for four and twenty hours, faint
ed on the road. He poisoned himself
in prison that same night.

Amateur Sculpture in the French
Army.

One of the incidents of the EN-
perOr's fete in Paris is thus mentioned
by a correspondent:
"The glory of the camp in works of
decorative art are the pieces of sculp-
ture with which it is enriched by the
hands of soldiers and officers tempo
rariIy stationed there, The district
produces an abundance of brittle
stone, and when, some years ago, it
was found that this could be easily cut,
a sort of sculptO-mania set in among
those who had any pretensiOns to art.
One or two OF the best works produced
under this influence are, we believe,
in the mess-ralm of the officers. Two
or three have been newly executed
and erected in the open air, at differ
ent parts of the camp, in honor Of the
day. One is in the quarters of the In
fantry de Ia Murine. A soldier of
more than life size is represented, rifle
in hand, with bayonet adyancedin de-
Tense of AN eagle perched on the rock.
On the pedestal are these words of the
Emperor: " L'HistOrede nos queries es'
fhiStOire des progres de Ia eiriGsdtiORt
"a somewhat dangerous impression
to have produced in the minds of a
million soldiers. IN another spirited
life-sized group, cut by a sous-lieuten-
ant in the 44th regiment of infantry,
an officer and two men. are guarding
the flag, the staff of which is already
broken, and which is in evident dam
ger. These and other art objects to be
found in many of the little gardens
around the camp show a taste and a
happy employment of spare time
which deserves high praise.

twiteh-the man was getting very
siek-and in nine or ten minutes his
jaws fell open. Indeed, it seemed as
if the patient would fall all apart and
go to pieces, so utterly was his entire
muscular system relaxed. The tObae-
co was Immediately removed and
some whisky Cruel given TO stimulate
him. Next day the man was taken
along in an ambulance, and in a few
days mounted his horse all right, as
bold a "sOger boy" "a any. 50 much
for a dead man.
1t seems necessary i'm this disease to
produce nausea, or sickness Of the
stomach, to cause the rigid muscles to
relax. It is very difficult or almost
impossible to administer internal
medicines, and some external appli-
cation becomes necessary to produce
nausea, and this is furnished by the
tobacco. The Major found afterwards
that damp tobacco applied to any part
Of the body would produce sickness,
but much more quickly, of course,
when applied to the stomach.
The editor of the Scientific American
in commenting on the above case, re-
marks that the remedy proposed is
one Of great power, and would need
to be used with extreme caution, to
avoid fatally nicotizing the patient.

MILKING.

Little dun COW to the apple tree tied,
Chewing the cud Of reelection,

Lost In a sad r-etrosPeetion.
Far DER the fields the tall daisies blush warn,

Across the still valley, DER meadow and farm,
The flush Of its beauty Is lying
White foams the Mill in the pail at my feet.
Clearly the robins are eaiilngs

Cool the long shadows are falliug.

Up from the sad east the deep shadows

banks. / have been a careful observer
of the action of the currents and ed
dies of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers on their banks for over twenty
years, having been a steamboatman
for a good portion of that time. l
remember well of many places which
have been saved from caving in or
cutting away, by using brush and
stone, but / have never known a place
to be saved from cutting away by APP
plying the brush and stone at the
point caving in. 1t is always best to
apply the stone and brush at a point
above the point of caving; and if Mr..
Moons suggestions of building a
break-water on the Arkansas shore
above the Hen and Chickens were
carried out, the whole current of the
river would be thrown down through
the Tennessee chute, which would so
straighten the current that we would
never hear of the levee caVing in again.
The chute up in the bend on the Ar
kansas side above the city would fill,
the point opposite the city would stop
cutting away, which causes the big
sand-bar opposite the city, and which
| would be swept away by the straight
| ening of the current down through
the Tennessee chute above the city.
The idea of piling stone in theriver
| below the mouth of Wolf river for the
purpose of stopping the wash, is a
very wrong one. 1t would be throw
ing money in the river. The city of
| st. Louis is now at work stopping a
wash in the big bend above the city,
and is doing it by building a dyke or
rip-rap of stone and brush out from
the bank some six miles above where
the bank is caving. The dyke, when
completed, viii straighten the current
by throwing it down the chute OF
Gaboon Island on the opposite side OF
the river. The same results can be
accomplished here at a comparatively
small expense, if the work is under
taken at once. Bonneville and Wes-
ton, Mo-, both lost their landings en-
tirely by delaying too long, just as
Memphis is doing now. st. Joseph,
Mo-, saved her landing from being en-,
tirely swept away by building a dyke
at a very small expense, some -four
miles above the city, and afterward
spent over 500 1000. 1t has been 8
mystery to me ever since / have lived
here, why the old citizens do not take
some steps to prevent the loss of the
wharf when it can be so easily and
cheaply done. F. NJ. n.

OUR neighbOr, the AualaRehe, brings
out seven names for Mayor, selected
from men who can swear that they
deplored the late "unpleasantness."
We will not deny that these gentle
men would either Of them ill the
angus Office of Mayor Of Memphis
with great dignity and efficiency.
But we wish ii understood that these
are not the only seven wise men Of
our Gotham We know not whether
they all voted for negro suffrage, and
whether they have fairly earned
the right to lead the uni
versaI suffrage" party, which,
according to our neighbor, as,
and according TO the Banner is to be.
But We know some who certainly did
do that very thing, and about whom
as universalers there can be no dis
pute. For instance, there Is our
friend BARBOUR LEWIS, and there Is
one WILLIAM HUNTER, and there Is
JAMES NJ. ToNENY, and S. B. BEAU
MONT, and ED. SHAW, THOMAS A.
HAMILTON and JAMES GALLAGHER.
There are seven names for you "as
are" names; men who have done the
voting and can do the swearing, and
every one Of them wise enough to be
put to sea in a bowl. And yet our
neighbOr Overlooks them, when its
very business is to cast about for a
candidate to be selected by the uni
versal Suffrage" party to run out in
the wild ocean Of HelFs HalfAcre,"
Happy Hollow" and ".Pinch,"
and "Aristocratic Row." in search
of that Aldermanic oasis which

will get hurt, or stake care" for fear

sufragers after the fight the thing
cannot be proved on, so well as it a
on the old warriors we have named.
And so we think our list of candidates
has the advantage of that Of our
neighbOr in the fact that their political
status has ALWAYS been pIacaFded on
their backs ever since STOKES, their
eagle, struck bis talons into the "uni-
versal suffrage" carcass, and under
took to bear il Off as his and their own
peculiar trophy. As to our ticket,
everybody knows where to find it

spOils, on both sides ofthe fence. Beg
ging pardon, we bespeak for it the

party. Hone we don't intrude.

THE following extract is from the
Chicago Tribune, a Radical paper of
large circulation and influence in the
Northwest:
Gov. Senter's assurance TO President
Grant OF his belief that his party will III
timately pass the Fifteenth Amendment.
is dubious and unsatisfactory. He must
remember that, though Mr.. Stokes de-
mand that Senter's election shall be de-
clared null, seems wild at present, never
Iheless all parties concede that the cleo
tion Of Senter was a sort Of cup d etat
wherein. by common consent, the whole
rebel population of Tennessee were IN
lawfully registered and voted. The SEN
ter party live in a house of exceedingly
brittle glass, and they cannot afford to
throw stones at those who put them in
power. If, Immediately on the session Of
the Legislature, Tennessee passes the Fif-
teenth Amendment, Congress will over
look violations oflaw which, in the event
of the defeat Of that measure. will be
thoroughly investigated and punished.
= = > : We cannot predict that the de-
feat Of the amendment in Tennessee will
lead to any action by Congress tending to
the dispIaeement of the Senter govern
ment. or 10 the investigation into the ir-
Irregularities by which il came into power,
or TO the rejection Of its Representatives
from seats in Congress. But il is by no
means impossible that it may.
Our people and the new Legislature
a now see how they are threatened,
and Judge for themselves of the safety
of their "house of exceedingly brittle
glass" We have not a word to say
about " rights" the Constitution"
and similar old fogyisms. There
stands the threat, and we may take
the warning. In spite Of right, the
Constitution, established principles,
public sentiment and other such trihes,
Congress already holds by the throat
three States, and has the very same
right, as well as the same power, TO
sieze any other. We must determine
whether to establish negro suffrage in
accordance with the behest of our
Congressional masters, and have
peace" oil condition of aiding their
usurpatiDn and making our elections
