gratuitous articles trimming over

anything more about woman's du-

therapeutics, how to clean up a
house-how to cook palatable dish

how TO nurse the baby-how to
sleep-how to eat, and, alas! vault
ing impudencc overleaps itself and
tells the poor objects of its admo-

seems TO be desire 20 promote the

Death from Choral.

Mr.. j. +. Pratt, a prominent mer-
chant of Memphis, was found dead
in his bed oD Sunday morning last
under very distressing circumstan-
ces. On Saturday night, being in
great pain, caused by scrofula, he
took a large dose of chloral which
speedily caused his death. This
chloral is new substitute for NOR
phine or opium and while some ply
sieians pronounce it harmless, 9th
ers declare it extremely dangerous.

don't come up to our expectations.
We of the CITIZEN have sometimes
perhaps, fallen into this system of
publishing bits of moral homilies
and dispositions on "How to make
home happy.a allow to please your
husbands eye, &c, DC. If SO, We
subject ourselves to the penalties
pronounced in this article. AS an
illustration of the Iudicrous results
following the practice of newspaper
theories ON the above subjects, we
remember a lady friend of ours in.
an adjoining town whose husband
WAS an editor and much addicted to
publishing such homilies. The la
dy was not pretty, was past the
middle age, but shrewd, amiable
and desperately fond Of a joke
She said that after reading an arti-
Gle in her husbands paper headed,
Always meet your husbnnd with a
smile she determined to reduce it
to a practical experiment. She
dressed herself with unusual care,
paid much attention to her toilet,
and awaited her lord and masters
coming at the gate. He came and
found her face wreathed in angelic
smiles. lie looked at her rather
carelessly, appeared annoyed, and
said sharply, ''What in the thunder
are you grinning like monkey for?
There's no menagcrie around here,
and you are old enough to know
better" This smiling dodge don't
work when it's made a regular bus
mess.

It is said that President Grant
viii appoint the distinguished (?)
negro, Fred Douglass, one of the
Commissioners to San Domingo
We have heard good many hard
things about Grant and his family,
but this is the first time we ever
suspected Fred's relationship to the
President. AS Grant only gives
offices to his relations We suppose
Fred's appointment gives color to
the kinship. Wonder lift was old
Jesse? If so, he was old enough to
know better.

The True Friends Of the south.

We notice with regret n DISPOSE
sion among many conservative jour
mails in the State to quibble over po-
litical technicalities. Nice distinc-
tions are drawn between the terms
Democrat" and conservative"
and issues are revived that have
no real connection with the present.
The tendency-of this petty warfare
between men whom n common bond
of sympathy and suffering should
unite, is to rctard, rather than pro-
mote the true interests ofthe South
whose livery they wear. The fu-
ture Of the South does not depend
upon political parties-it rests up
on the industry of It's people. The
farmer who devotes his whole time
to the Improvement of his lands
and the increase Of his crops; the
mechanic who contributes the la
Dor OF his hands, and the merchant
who donates the profits Of his trade
to the general Gauss of improve
ment, arc destined to pc the real ar
chitects Of the South's fortune
Politicians who divert the minds of
our people from their farms, their
workshops and counting rooms,
under the grlise of patriotism and
in the character of alarmists, are
the enemies whom the Southern
press should fight. Radicalism is
doomed. Rational public senti-
incdt, influenced by commercial and
agricultural intercourse between
the sections, will sooner or later
work out the South's deliyerance.
Stump speeches, inflammatory har-
argues and newspaper rhodomon-
tade will accomplish nothing. Sec
tioBal wealth and prosperity, (if
we are to draw sectional lines, J viii
accomplish more than sectional
prejudice and poverty. The plough
share AMI pruning hook, the loom,
the mill and the mandatory, the
hustle of trade and the sails of com
merce are the trustworthy agents
of our deliverance.

they have never given any reason

The Sheafe- TiIlman Contest.


The Shelbyvillc Rescue pertinent
" says;
The Manchester Conservative
states that it is daily in oxpection
of adyices from Washington as to
the decision ofthe Scheafe- Tillman
contest; and states that it is under
stood that Captain Sheafe viii get
his seat, and the opinion or judg-
mcnt. of the Committee has been
made UP, but that it has been held
back for the pecuniary benefit of
Mr.. Tillman.
The Committee are disposed to
swindlc the government out of
some twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars for the benefit of Mr.. Till
man, and Mr.. Tiilman will accept
it, though he we'll knows that the
money taken from the pocket Of a
gentleman by a picll-pocllet is as
legitimatciy the property of the
pick-pocket as that which he re-
ceives from the government is his.
He has not only taken Sheafe's
seat in Congress, by virtue Of GER
tificatc frauduleutly issued by the
prince of political scoundrels,
Brownlow, but lac is ready to peck

The London Conference PostpOneJ

BY cable kilograms we have the
highly important intelligence that
the London conference Of the great
Powers on the Eastern question viii
not meet in session. The plan has
failed. France refused to take part
in the assemblage. The absence Of
one of the co-signatories to the
Treaty of Paris is considered fatal
to the idea Of such an assemblage.
The resolutions of the other mem
bers would be useless and unavaii-
able in consequence. This intelli-
gence is of very great moment. It
goes to prove that the monarchists
have really acknowledged that a ma
ton cannot be Obliterated because
its people may change the form of
government. Republican France
is France still. The conference
men dare not go back to the empire
and the radical democracy will not
go to them.

Our Debt and Resources.

On September l, 1865. the pub
lie debt of the United States was
$2,757, $3.50, 81. This was the lar
gest amount of debt the nation ev-
er owed. 1t had been augmentlng
vastly during the four years war
which closed in the spring of 1865.
For the first few months after the
close oft the war-that is from April
to September large amount of
floating indebtedness had to be adj
iusted, and it was this that brought
the debt up to the highest figure in
September. But from that time it
began to waste away 1t has been
steadily and regularly decreasing
since. On January 3, 1871, the
debt was $2,349, 663, 800. This is
the lowest point it has reached
since September, 1865. Thus then
there has been paid in the course
of five years and four months $685.
O25,251.
During Johnson's administration,
or, rather, during the three years
and six months of his administra-
ton from the time the debt was adj
jnsted and reached the highest fig
ure, there was paid $212,652, CO.,
Since General Grant has been Pres
ident, or during one year and ten
months, there has been paid 1885,
372,5 S4. It must be remembered
however, that the claims upon the
Treasury arising out of the war, for
the first two or three years after it
ended were numerous and large
Many of these were settled before
General Grant entered the White
House. Indeed, the amount of war
claims and expenses of the govern
ment growing out of the war have
been less every year for several
years past, and will continue to di-
minish henoeforward. Even the
war pensions will fall off every
year
