Keep the Mouth Shut.

This is very important both for happi-
ness and health. BY keeping it shut
more than it is, fewer disagreeable
things will be said, which will make
US less unhappy, As regards health
il also important. Weshould cultivate
the habit of breathing through the nose
more than we do. Mans nostrils
were not intended for the sole purpose
of distinguishing odors, good from
bad, but were put in his head to filter
and purify the air he breathes before
it enters his lungs and to soften and
warm it when chilled, damp, and
unhealthy from the influence of Q
variable climate. He who breathei
through his mouth will always FIND
himself more or less in trouble with
pulmonary or bronchial difficulties

New Hampshire.

The election in New Hampshire has
been carried by the Democrats by a
small majority. Our Democratic ex-
changes are airing their roosters, and
feeling good generally. Following so
close upon the late unpleasantness al
Washington between Mr.. Sumner and
the United States Sentate, the news
does not create that surprise that il
ctherwise would have done. We ac-
ccpt this as punishment for mistake
made by our Senate. When this is
dried up, we shall again have our usual
victories and maiorities.

SHOOTING AT McCLINToCK.-Last

ger was found prowling around the
premises of q citizen of McClintock-
vile in very suspicious manner and
under very suspicious circumstances.
The citizen watched the intruder as
well as he might OH so dark a night,
until becoming convinced that foul
play was intended, when he brought
his revolver to bear upon him and let
drive. The would be burglar, assassin
or whatever he was or might have been

Operations on the r. L. Shaw farm,

Before persons commence gossip,aud
retail scandal in the community, let
them look into their own hearts, and
remember the secret history of their
lives, and see if they have not been
guilty of as bad or even worse sins,
than they are condemning. The only
difference being that they have been for
tunate enough to keep theirs concealed.

A Question.

Which will you do, smile and make
others happy, or be grabbed and make
everybody around you miserable? You
can live among flowers and singing
birds. or in the mire surrounded by
fogs and frogs. The amount of hap
piness which you can produce is in.
calculable, if you will only shed a
smiling face, a kind heart, and pleas
aht words. On the other hand, by
sour looks, cross words, and fretful
disposition, you can make others un.
happy almost beyond endurance.
Which will you do ? Wear pleasant
countenanee; no joy so great as that
which springs from kind act or pleas
ant deed and if you do a kind act
during the day where by some fellow
mortal has been made happy, you will
feel its glorious influence at night when
you st,and throughout the Cay when
about yonr daily business.

Raftsman's Journal:
A correspondent informs us that, on
Wednesday night, March Sth, between
IL and / o'clock, a shooting affair
came off at the American House" in
Curwinsville, the facts of which are
substantially as follows: A young
man named Jack Robson came in and
demanded liquor. Mr.. Brown, the
bar-keeper, thinking he had sufficient
already, refused to comply with the de-
mand, whereupon Robson drew out a
pistol, and the bar.keeper retreated
Robson then called up Mr.. Reed, the
proprietor, and repeated his demand
for liquor. Mr.. Reed refused to grant
the request and thrust Robson into
the street whereupon the latter at.
tempted to break in the door. Mr.. r.
then stepped out and caught Robson
by the wrists and threw him down,
Robson having the pistol in his hand
at the time. While in this position,
Robson fred; the ball entering Mr..
Reeds left leg just aboue the knee, ,and
coming out under the knee, having
passed through without beaking the
bone or cutting an artery. The wound
is not considered as being Immediately
dangerous. Robson has not been ar.
rested as yet.

HORACE GREELEY's VISIT TO MEM
PHIS.

Horace Greeley's visit to this city is
purely a business one. He comes here
as lecturer and as such he is certainly
entitled TO respectful hearing from our
people, and for the credit of our city we
hope he will receive the courtesy which
has been extended him everywhere else
during his visit to the South. Whatever
may be the views Of Greeley, both re-
hgious and political, he certainly is a
man of brains, and will not fail to OBJ
serve and appreciate the receptions
which he has everywhere met with. We
daily hear of our people crying for more
immigration. Northern capital and peo-
pie are both needed among us. What
better advertisement for Memphis could
there be to secure this than Greeley s
kind treatment whilst in our city2 and
what stronger answer to the many ku-
Klux outrages charged against the South
than the uniform courtesy be has every
where received2 Greeley wants to bury
the tomahawk, and asks that there may
be stronger bond of union between the
two sections. He says in the conclu-
sion Of his New Orleans speech
that he bad never before been a visitor
to the South. He went there with u
heart devoted to the good of all people
"They are not my enemies now" he
continued, who were so ak or eight
years ago. bear hatred to no ons. "
He believed in the best men occupying
the best places, without any reference to
the by-gone. The peril which neoessi-
tates the exclusion Of some men from
the ballot-box no longer exists He
stands opposed to disfranchisement as
no longer necessity. There would be
nothing more heard of the doings of the
Ku-Klux if Acknowledgement had been
abolished FIVE years ago. A general
amnesty would be a powerful factor in
tranquilizing and reuniting the once dis
cordant elements composing the Ameri-
can. Nation. For this he had acted and
struggled, and the result was not far
distant.

yELLOW FEVER.

The ravages Of the yellow fever al
Ruenos Ayres seem TO have been more
terrible even than at first reported. The
city of Buenos Ayres contained popu-
lation of about 2O0,O 900 inhabitants, and
10000 of these have already died OF the
nlague. All who could leave the city
have fed, and of the $4,000 remaining
5000 are down with the disease. The
mortality in one day reached seven hun
dred and forty-nine, says a correspond
ent of the New York Herald. The prin-
cipal cause Of this terrible visitation of
the plague in that city at the present
time seems to have been the terribly
filthy condition of the city. There are
said to be no sewerage or drainage, and
no provision was made by the authorities
to remove the dirt and filth which daily
accumulated upon the streets, and OF
course amid so much dirt aad filth dis
ease found. an easy lodgment and the
yellow fever congenial home; and the
citizens of Buenos Ayres to-day are pay
ing the terrible penalty of their great
want of cleanliness.
May not Memphis take warning from
the dreadful scourge now inhicting
Buenos Ayres, and our city authorities
see TO it that our streets and alleys are
made perfectly clean. and kept SO, and
all proper sanitary regulations are
strictly enforced, to secure the health
of our citizens during the hot summer
months now commencing Let us not
forget the last visitation of yellow
Jack" in this city in the fall Of 1861;
and when we hear OF him being again
abroad in the land, see to it in time that
he does not again pay US a visit. An
ounce of prevention may be worth sew
eral pounds of cure, and now IL the
time to take the necessary steps to ward
of epidemies during the coming sum
mer. There is no disease incident to our
Southern cline that carries such con-
sternation and fear, and which generally
proves so speedily fatal as yellow fever,
the successful treatment of which seems
to battle all medical skill, and the patient
in few hours from perfect health is
gasping in the agonies Of death.
We do not wish to unnecessarily alarm
our people, but want them to profit by
the sad lesson Buenos Ayres ia now
teaching, and in time to take such pre-
cautions as will render the health of this
city during the coming summer and fall
beyond all peradventure.
