From the Virginia City Enterprise.l
On a ranch on the Carson river, eight

born and raised in this State But two

would seem that the original lot fell into

Washoe growth. The camel may now
be aid to be thoroughly acclimated in

il more difficult 20 breed and rear them
than would be experienced with the
same number Of goats and donkeys.
The ranch upon which they are kept is

Half Alive.-It is a sad thing to pass
through life only half alive. Yet there are
thousands whose habitual condition is one Of
languor and debility. They complain Of no
specific disease; they suffer no positive pain,
but they have no relish for anything which
affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and energetic fellow-beings.
In nine cases out Of ten this state Of LASH
tude and torpor arises from morbid stomach.
Indigestion destroys the energy Of both mind
and body. When the waste Of nature IL not
supplied by due and regular assimilation Of
the food. every organ IL starved, every func-
tiop interrupted.

An exchange gives the following
analysis of butter. We have none OF
that kind however, in Memphis. Ours
is all fresh and pure, just from the COW:
The butter of commerce is a curious
compound, which defies analysis. There
are hundred or more modes Of adulter-
alton known to and praotioed by the
INSCRIPTIONS hucksters who infest the
market. Salt, lard, mutton tallow, dirt,
feathers and hair enter into the precious
compost with which we Intricate our
daily bread. Salt, being comparatively
cheap, despite the tariff thieves, and
heavy withal, is quite favorite with the
butter fends, and is added generously to
the greasy mess ofnastiness Ordinarily
the butter Ihiscreants practice their ne
farious acts secretly; but one shameless
scoundrel-an Ohio man, be it said to
our eternal disgIace-is so lost to all
decency as to apply for a patent on his
infamous system Of robbery. The fol-
lowing Is his formula;
Take ten pounds Of ordinary butter,
and wash the same Gs cold as il can be
worked in clear lime water, in which
about four ounces Of lime 20 the gallon
of water has been dissolved; warm the
butter and mix it with sweet milk and
-four in paste; color it with eggs, car
rcts or annatto and turmeric, until at
length the precious mess produces eight
cen pounds Of good, solid butter, which
may be printed in cakes or made into
rolls or packed"

Trying as it will be to the French to
meet the demands of their victorious
enemies, they can hardly be called upon
for sacrifices so great as they were com
PEELED to make in payment for the hun
cred days Empire they permitted to The
First Napoleon in 1915. Then armies
were put in motion which outnumbered
even the hosts Of Germans who are
swarming in and toward France now,
and all Europe, from the Ural mountains
TO the Atlantic, was filled with camps
For that three months enthusiasm
France paid down l,525, 200, 900 francs,
maintained 10000 of her enemies for
three years in her territories, and when
they lef., commute1 the cost Of support
ing them for two years more at 265, O00,-
900 francs. The money cost of her de
feat was at the lowest calculation 2,20e,-
900, 900 francs, or $40, 100000 in gold,
be7ides the expenses of her own troops
and preparations If there is any one
who thinks the resources Of France can
be exhausted in FIVE weeks, let him re-
call these proofs Of what the country
could do after twenty years Of war.

movement Of the sort has yet taken
place, nor do we believe that it will.
The candidates are going among the
people next week. They begin at Gov
ington, and will, during the week, speak
successfully at that place, Mason's, Ger
mantown, Collierville and Baskerville.
The people of the last named places, as
we are aware, desire an expression as
to their proposed new county. They
believe that they have the territory,
the population, and majority for new
county, and that under the constitution
1t is their right and wish to take vote
ON the question. Our friends out there,
who are distinguished for their Democ-
racy and the heavy vote they have al
ways polled, when allowed to vote at all,
cannot be used by the Radical party at
this late day. True, they have been az
itated by Radicals and soft-shell Demo
Gratis, and urged to stand off from the
nominees and unite with the Radicals,
who, Just now, are rich in promises and
humble in their demands; they are so
sympathetic that they would even vote
for mistreated Democrat or liberal
Republican. But the false reports, the
soft words and specious promises
will not avail them. The people
of Collierville and similar places
are patiently awaiting to hear
the nominees, and we believe that
when Messrs. DuBose and Harris are
heard upon these important local ques-
tons, they will unite the entire district.
These gentlemen will take ground that
will become honest, fearless, candid
men. and which we believe will be all that
our fair-minded country friends can ask.
Give them hearing, we would say, be-
fore believing the prejudicial rumors
started by few sore-headed Democrats
and circulated most industrlously by
every Radical in the county.

DEATH Or WELDKxowS PKsTEE
AID EDIToE-Tbe Confessional Of
yesterday says:
The many friends Of Major J. J..
Gibbons will be panied 10 learn Of his
death. He died suddenly at Frankfort
Tuesday night about halfpast 3 o'clock.
He was standing in the Office Of the
Capitol Ho-el, and. without a premoni-
ton. fell 10 the floor and expired. II l.
supposed that heart disease was the
cause Of his death. Major Gibbons was
well known IN the State. having been
connected with the press for many years.
Al one time be was connected with the
Frankfort Yeoman For several years
he was associate editor Of the Selma
ALA Times. Some weeks ago he came
TO Kentucky in company with bis daugh-
ter 10 visit relations, aud was on the
point Of departure for Missouri when he
died.
Major Gibbons was also well known in
this city. He was formerly foreman in
the Avalanche Office. some three or four
years ago. During the war he was a
major in the Confederate army. The
daughter alluded to formerly attended
ST. Agnes Academy. Major Gibbons
was by profession printer, and was

The French are preparing for vigor-

it is asserted by the leaders of the gov
eminent that they mean to compass the
Prussian besieging army, and to carry
the fight to their rear and between them
and their line of retreat. A large force
of troops will operate in the rear of the
Prussian army around Metz in like man

A decree has been issued by the Min

The places italicised correspond as to
time with the appointments made by
Messrs. Vaughan, DuBose and Harris
the nominees respectively for Congress,

flying 10 see such champions Of State
and National Democracy take the field.

speakers, thoroughly posted on the issues
OF the present, as well as the history Of
the past, and are calculated 10 rouse up
and enthuse the people Of West Ten

may be a conceded fact, but this should
not cause our people 10 be Indifferent or
neglect voting their full strength. The
Radicals are on the alert and have made
some nominations already, even where
there is not a hope Of success. They
have nominated Old Grandmother Wise
ner las be is classically called in his own
neighborbood) as candidate for Gov
ernor. He has about as much prospect
Of election as General Andrew Jaekson's
monument in Court Square, and If
elected would not make as good Gov
ernor. His party still has one hope
that lies in the reconstruction OF Ten
nessee. II is a sweet dream, but with
the amount Of work on hands the next
Congress will probably have enough TO
do without meddling in our local az
fairs. Still, the party hopes the Ku-
Klux sill break out, or something turn
np that may turn them up 70 the surface.
General Brown will be elected by about
seventy thousand majority; he has no
imposition TO mention Colonel W. W.
Vaughan will be elected to Congress by
from five to seven thousand majority
over any man the Radicals may
conclude to put -on the ticket.
Bat the present member went IN
BIZ fraud, and as Congress will do
anything, however Infamous, to keep out
Democrats, they will run Smith, or Num-,
which is the same 10 us, in the hope OF
repeating the outrage Of two years ago.
The jackson convention, however, to
guard against contingency Of this
kind, avoided taking any chances by
nominating a Union man who is at once
acceptable to the people and can take
his seat when elected. Thus far the
Radicals have nominated no candidates
for Senator, Floater and County Repre-
sentatives. The party is rather poor
now, and too weak to enter the contest.
Their only hope is that some disafecied
Democrat will offer TO fuse with them.
The slight local differences which ex-
listed two or three weeks ago, on non
political subjects, gave them a tempo
rary hope that the Democrats would
throw them a loaf or a cold potato for
their votes and sham neutrality. No
