The Nashville Banner says: 1.-THE
Neutrality-suspicious. that the editor
of the CourierJournal has some influ.
ence with the direction of the Banner. /.
our little Memphis Imperialist will in.
quire at the Courier-J Journal office it will
find that it has about as much influence
with the direction of the Banner as the
Memphis LEDGER has with that of the
London Times" Immediately after
reading this, and before the inquiry sug-
gested could possibly be made, we sent
cable dispatch to the London Times
asking how much influence the Memphis
LEDGER might have with it, and received
for an answer the statement that the
LEDGER sold out its interest in the Times
several years ago. This is official and
ought to be conclusive Courier Jour
nal. '
That is so excruciating it must have
taken both papers to produce it, and they
are welcome to all that can be made Of
it. The idea Of the Kentucky monopoly
telegraphing the London Times, and on
such a subjectl The joke would be bet
ter if it contained the truth, but vcracity
nowadays seems to be at discount.
The chief director Of the CourierJour-
nal was formerly editorialIy connected
with the Banner, and that he might con
tinue to have some influence with that
paper we imagined to be probable, as we
had heard that a peeuniary interest had
been retained This last is probably a
mistake, and it is by no means wonder
ful that its influence is only probIemati-

without kn owledge. when that knowl-

simply guesses at things-who has no
better foundation for its attacks than

Better stop all improvements for
the betterment of the city, else. when
completed, some complainer- will
arise. and, guessing that things are
not all right, with the little ''if'' mere

thus destroy its usefulness. Such

This is really excellent work, sci
entifc and yet eminently practical, in
regard to a most important class of
subjects, which, unfortunately, it has
hitherto been left almost entirely to the
quack, the empiric, or the sensational
ist, to "write up" for the million. 1t
treats of the hygiene of woman, in her
various relations of maiden, wife and
mother, and of the married state in gen.
eral. The table of contents includes
such subjects as the following:
The distinction of the sexes. Per
sons of both sexes and of no sex. The
age of nubility. Love. Love is eter-
nal. Of Divorce. Of Courtship. How
to choose a husband. Shall cousins
marry? The wedding night. Advice
to wives who desire to have children.
The limitation of offspring. The signs
of fruitful conjunction. How to have
beautiful children. Transmission of
talent and of disease. How to have
boys or girls at will. Birth-marks and
how to prevent them. Signs of preg
nancy. Confinement. Nursing. The
change of Life.
Difficult as it may appear, these sub
jects are handled with such precision
and frmness, and yet SO delieately,
that the work has received the hearty
endorsement of many of the most dis
tinguished physicians, clergymen, and
philanthropists of the country. Among
the number are Ex Surgeon General
Hammond, Henry Ward Beecher, Rev.
Horace Bushnell, D. D., DR.. R. Shell
ton Mackenzie, Rev. DIR. Mark Hop
kins, President of Williams College,
with many other names equally emf
nent.
Mr.. WIN. BANE is canvassing for the
work in this county, and we doubt not
will meet with liberal patronage. One
or more copies of the book should be in
every household.

Lecture on the Holy Land.

Last Sabbath evening we had the rare pleasure
of listening to a lecture from Prof OwEs, who
fills the chair of Geology in the State University
of Indiana, and who has just returned from an
extensive tour through the old world While at
Athens he beheld the Acropolis brilliantly il
Illuminated to honor the presence of the Empress
Eugene, who visited that city while en- route to
attend the opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt.
At Damascus he witnessed much of the orr
entail magnifcence for which the East was so eel
ebrated in the early days of the Church.
The floors, in many cases, were inlaid with
mosaic and mother of pearl, yet in the midst of
such magpifcence, he was shocked by being
brought suddenly, face TO face, with lepers, and
in the very same place, so it was claimed, where
Naman the leper was bade to go and bathe in
Jordan. From the days of Christ till now, no
cure for this terrible disease has been discovered.
1t seems hereditary, and appears at first as a
pimple or boil, then slowly spreads and grows
into running sores, when the flesh and bones
slough of, and some have no fingers or hands,
Others no feet-nose and palate gone, until finally
after years of suffering, the foul eprosy strikes
vital part and the victim dies This disease was
very aptly compared to sin. He entered Jerusa-
lem from the North and saw with his own eyes
most of the places made sacred by the footsteps
and miracles of our Savior. He passed Jacobs
Well, where Christ met the woman of Samaria.
Saw the ruins of the temple, assembled the Mount
of Olives, where the sermon on the Mount was
delivered Gazed over the same plain that
Christ no doubt looked upon frequently He Wis
tied the place outside the walls, where the Cru
cifxion is said to have taken place. But the
same certainty does not mark the spot as is the
case with all the other places mentioned, whose
identity is now proved beyond all doubt. And
the speaker felt assured that from excavations
now going on in Jerusalem it would not be long
before the identical place. where Christ suffered
and died, would become known.
The discourse was most interesting, instructive
and inspiring.

cloth department, of the Franklin coun-
ty Fair, held at Columbus, says: "The
jeans manufactured by LECLERCQ Bros.

is pronounced the best specimen ever
shown in the city and takes the first
premium"
This speaks well for our manufac-
turers. From a private lester from
Columbus, We learn that the manutac-
turers in that neighborhood were very
much surprised when they saw the
GallipOlis jeans, they had no idea such
goods could be produced here.
