A Wan who wants Entire Freedom,

While the special meeting of the County
Court was in session yesterday, and en-
gagged in an interesting discussion on the
proposed new tax list, an individual who
had for a time listened attentively to the
various views presented on the subject,
and who had evidently been mixing his
drinks, or getting too many of one sort,
made his way into the space occupied by
the court, and in an agitated manner asked
to be heard on the great question of the
day. "Win you let me spake word
said he, and before permission could be
either given or refused, began declalmlng
in a vehement manner against taxation In
general as unfriendly to the liberties of the
people. His remarks took wide range,
and indicated that he did not have very
clearly defined idea of the subject in hand.
He said he came to this country to get nd
of onerous taxation in another, and hoped
to see no legislation here which would
drive him to some land where there was
entire freedom and no tax for the privilege.
When about to enlarge upon this branch OF
the subject, a motion to adjourn vas
adopted by unanimous vote, and the ex-
cited individual was left at liberty to
''spake" his fill to empty chairs.

memphis. Feb, "a.

The staple has been fairly active during
the week, and prices are softening daily,
with receipts large and stock increasing
steadily. From the attitude of affairs we
must confess that we can see no reason
for reaction in the immediate future, and
should not be astonished if prices remained
weak for some weeks to come. There is
no demand in this market directly from the
spinner. Nearly all sold is for foreign ac-
count and to fill shorts. The demand to-
day was mostly for clean stained or low
grades, and the sales for the day were in
the aggregate as follows; 7S5 inferior and
mixed 13@2lc, 121 do. 2l5c. 80 good
ordinary 223e, 100 do. 22@225c, I2I low
middlings 23@234c, 800 middlings 2310
23se, 500 stained 213@22c, 242 mixed,
private. Total sales 9, 4S5 bales. The
weeks sales amounted to 1,151 bales,
against 5,907 bales sold last week. Weeks
receipts 10, 7S5 bales, against $40 bales
received last week, and S,971 received for
the corresponding week last year. The re
ceipts to date last year were 1873, 1914 bales
an increase this year over last 13, 691
bales. Stock on hand at same date last
year IS, 552 bales. Thest nov on hand
Is heavier than it has been at any time
since the war. It may be proper to state
that some 5000 bales of the accumulation
has been purchased several weeks, and has
been detained here for want of tonnage

,Efle Egg Rusineas.

Few of our citizens who use yolk and the
batter in a hundred ways, have any idea of
the extent to which the egg trade is pushed
in this and other places, the amount of
capital employed or the number of hands
engaged. The art of packing eggs for
shipment requires the skill of an adept,
which is only attained by o considerable
apprenticeship at it as a speciality. It may
surprise many of our readers when we in
form them that aside from other dealers in
a retail and small wholesale way, there is
one firm in this city which packs daily for
shipment from twenty to twenty-five bar
rels of eggs and use daily in this branch of
business alone from 81, 200 to $1,000, yet
it is nevertheless true. MesSrs. Hinesly
and Noel on Broad street are these egg
packers and shippers, and they yesterday
telegraphed for a couple Of additional ex-
pert packers, none who were sufficiently
skilled being obtainable here.

No wonder that the face of the dySpcptiC
has II dragged, worn, hopeless expression
that is pitiful to see. No wonder that the
miserable martyr to indigestion is fretful,
irritable, and unsocial. Whoever can bear
the pangs of this tormenting complaint
checrfully, and with an unruffied temper,
is little short of saint. But why should
human fOrtitude continue to he thus severe
~ tried, when an absolute specific for the
disease is always on hand. Everywhere
within the limits of civilization in this
hemisphere HOStetter'S Stomach Bitters is
Obtainable, and the history OF the first case
of dyspepsia in which IL has been admins
tered in vain, has yet to be written. The
sickness mt the stomach, the sense of weak
ness and Stupor, the feeling of emptiness
and hOllOwneSS before eating, and OfOppreS-
sion afterwards, the fluttering of the pulse
the intense nervous irritation, the morbid
indiSpoSition to eXertion, the WEAKNESS of
life, and indifference to all its pleasures
which are among the symptoms OF the dis
ease in its chronic form, are rapidly anne
liOrated by the tonic operation of this pala-
table vegetable restorative, which seems to
renOvate and quicken all the dormant forces
of the system, and rouse the mind from the
apathy and GLOOM inseparable from de-
rangement OF the digestive and secretiye
functions. In ordinary cases few weeks
SufliccS 10 complete the cure, but when the
disease Is complicated, rs il often Is, with
tOrpidity of the liver, severe constipation,
impurity of the blood, and sluggish circu-
lation, longer time may be required Per-
severe, however, and the result is certain.
An encouraging Improvement will be per-
ceptible from day To day, and the GONZALES
cent, knowing and feeling that he or she is
on the high road TO health, will await the
happy issue with comparative patience

attention between his own and other
peoples affairs.
1t is absurd to attempt to set our
neighbors right, before we have per:
fectly adjusted ourself. BY strict atten,
tion 10 our own business, we shall
observe that which is essential to our
personal interests, and discover less TO
he nreiudice of mankind in general.
Never suppose that your own abilities
will be enhanced by what you can de-
tract from the merits Of contemporaries
Do not imagine that patrons and con-
stituents are such great fools as to take
YOU at your own estimate, when there
are palpable evidences to the contrary,
FIRST establish your honor and worth,
You will then receive, spontaneously,
| what YOU might otherwise beg for in
vain.
Temporal advantages are dangerous
for MANY reasons, two of which shall
name. First, they are usually the sub
terfuges of deceit and INSCRIPTIONS de-
sign. Second, artifce is gilt which
scales off in a short time, and leaves the
bascness bare.
Do not suffer the fluctuations of con
ventional within and caprice to attach to
your character, or you will soon lose
your individuality, and cease to possess
a character
Treat all men as gentlemen until they
prove themselves knaves. Do not dis
pise man because he is rich, nor treat
another with contempt because he is
poor. Weneed not tell YOU that if Won
cringe at the feet, and lick the hand of
a Superior, through motives Of avarlce
or sheer sycophancy, YOU are nobody,
and deserve to be the entity which You
are.
A truly good thing is always good,
whatever position it may occupy. If
it is not useful it is because it lacks the
opportunity to he so. \ proper applica-
ton of positive forces cannot fail Of graf
living results. Discard all family pride
and exclusiveness which is not founded
upon the purest and most enduring
principles of moral and intellectual
worth. 4 mans opinion of himself
amounts to nothing, if it benot indorscd
by public judgment and universal good
taste.

amenities of society. Do not let your
boot-black out do you in politcness. If
YOU are afflicted with the herecies Of
caste, nevertheless you will not compro-
mise your exalted position, for he who
is truly great can well afford to stoop.
