gambling holes, and revelling day and
night in idle wickedness.
Instead of wasting the precious hours
Of youth, the energies of mind and body,
let all the young men Of Memphis end Of
the South find employment, 20 to work,
and belp rebuild the fabric ofSouth-
ern prosperity. In the usual course OF
nature the old men go off and the young
men come on the stage Of action SO grad
ually that the balance between the con-
servatiye wisdom of age and the impul-
siye energy of youth is beautifully pre-
served. But the South no longer moves
in the natural order of things. Her en-
tire system has been wrenched from its
ancient grooves, and is now seeking Q
new direction along new lines. The
war brought forth the young men
and men Of action. 1t drilled them IN
lessons of patient toll, of calm endur-
ance, and, more than all, OF noble self
sacrifice. The war taught young ana
old. male and female, to rely upon the
young men, and this very reliance made
men of mere boys.
Opportunities are now offering on oil
sides. The cotton crop is to be gathered,
and railroads are TO be built, and any
and everywhere is an opportunity prof
fered to gain an honest livelihood by in
dustry and labor. This should be the
programme of action adopted by the
young men of city or country. 1t will
be the foundation for great and success
ful accomplishments; and united with
proper purposes and virtues to actuate
them, and by generous infusion into
the body polite of goodly amount OF
the young American spirit, we may ere
long bring back the life, hope, vigor and
virtue of the time when the physical,
moral and intellectual power OF the
Southern youth was peerless in the most
renowned energies and Accomplishments
of ancient or modern times.

How NEVADA CITY CAMEO ITS NAM.
The Nevada (CaD Transcript gives US the
following interesting particulars with regard
to the naming Of Nevada City:
Nineteen years ago yesterday, the town
of Nevada was given its name. Previous to
th-t time il had been called Caldwell's Store,
and on the 18th day Of April, 1850, about
twenty or thirty persons met in an old shan
iy, where Goes shoe store now stands, TO
give the town a name. Quite q number
we're suggested. Some favored calling it
Caldwelrs Store, others Deer Creek, Upper
Dry Diegings, and quite = difference Of
opinion existed at the meeting. 1t was then
suggested that each one present write q
name on a slip of paper and place il in =
hat, and the name of the town be decided by
lot. o. P. Blackburn then suggested Ne
sada rs the name. stating that the town vas
higher up towards the summit of the Sierra
Nevadas than any other in the State, that
its mines were valuable and it was destined
to become an important place. The beauty
OF the uame as we'll as its appropriateness
was adopted unanimously. Since that time
it has been appropriated by a number Of
other towns, as shown by a correspondence
in o-day' paper. Chas. Marsh is the only
person now a resident Of this city who was
present at the meeting which gave the town
name. Mr.. Blackburn We believe is nov
a resident of New York. This name was
given to the city before the county was orga-
nized, and the county was named from the
town which was made the county seat.

THE CUBAN QUEsTI0N-THEC CASE OF
TIE EARY POWELL.

With a more definite explanation OF
the circumstances attending the capture
O! the American vessel, Mary Powell
At one OF the bahama Islands, the in
.uit which the Spanish authorities have
offered to the United States becomes
more evident !; and with a more init
mate acquaintance with that unwar-
rauted transaction We are also apprised
of the extent of the provoea,ion offered
10 the English fsg at the same time.
This subject matter and the general
question Of American recognition Of
Cuban independence is thus treated by
she Washington Chronicle Of the 2nd
instant
We hope it IS true. as reported, that the
Spanish officials at Cuba have released the
American vessel, the Mary Powell, captured
by their man-of-war. AEdalusia, at Ragged
Island, Bahama, \ British port, whence she
had been driven BY stress Of weather. She
was forcibly taken from the British custom
house officials. She had the American flag
living at the time Of her seizure. Her des-
rinatioa was Vera Cruz. Her papers were in
due order, and her cargo could not, by any
law Of war, be subject to examination. This
outrage is only one of series, end deserves
punishment, if it is not promptly atoned for.
The presence of additional United States ses-
sells in the adjacent waters was necessary
before this last wrong, and we are glad they
are on their way.
The American Government has no desire |
to become party to the conflict between tbs |
Cubans and thei. Spanish oppressors but
the sympathies of our people cannot be res
especially when to a sense of the
sutferings of the Cubans is added the sting |
of such outrages as that of the capture of the
IIary Powell. They reflect that if the revolt
in Spain was just, it is folly to deny the
greater justice of the revolt in Cuba. Who
IAN object to the same rule which recognized
, new Government in the mother country
being applied to the attempt to establish
republican government in Cubas A very
title more good luck on the part of the pat
lots. and the recognition Of their independ-
nee by our Government would not only be
roper in itself but inevitable. That is far
,eiter way than for US to initiate England BY
belligerent rights to the Cubans.
The recognition of their independence BY the
United States would, We believe, put an end
o the conflict, make the island entirely free,
nd surround is people with thousands of
olunteer defenders. ,

The DANcB or DEArn.-Grim death as
any time or place IL IN unwholesome visitor,
but more especially when he stalks among
scenes where only the sound o. music and
the laugh Of pleasure should be heard. A
dance vas in progress last evening: at No.
IA Augusta street, place where Ieutons
most do congregate to enjoy the pleasure
will vouchsafe. A large party was present
at an early hour, and at eight O'Clock the
| band struck up lively waltz. Away vent
the dancers, tripping the light fantastic to
| inspiring music, and no one dreamed Of an
| i'll wind, when suddenly a woman's Shrek
rose high above the sound Of the carnival.
Almost simultaneously the body Of q man
fell heavily to the door. forming barrier to
the dancers, several OF whom fell headlonR
over the PROSTATE form. Many thought it
was only slip, but when the man continued
to lie mOtionless, the crowd gathered about
him, and an investigation disclosed the
startling fact that the person was dead. The
deceased was . young man about twenty
five years Of age, namrd Albert Kraft.
Among his friends the impression had pre-
vailed for some time past that be was al
ficted with heart disease, and he had been
counseled no, to enter into festivities calcu.
lated to engender excitement. But young
blood 10 needless. Being fond of dancing,
he entered heartily into the festivities Of the
occasion. About eight o'clock he chose =
partner for a waltz, and it was the scream
forced from his companion, when she
discovered the face that looked into hers
suddenly grow rigid in death, that first at
tracted the attention of the assemblage to
the sad occurrence. DR.. Freyer was instant
ly called, and pronounced life extinct. The
cause Of the death he alleged to have been
heart disease. The parents Of the deceased
reside at No. 1877 Cornell street, to which
place the body was subsequently removed.
Coroner Cleaver has been notified and will
hold an inquest over the remains this morn
ing. 1t is perhaps needless to say that after
this occurrence the music and dance lost
their sweet favor, and among the ladies
:here ensued a panic that nothing but alb |
sence from the scene Of death coud quiet.
Trombone, fiddle and horn were quietly |
packed III their boxes. and very shortly the |
hall was given over to the gloom which death |
and darkness usually inspire.-Ch'cago Tn
