AN EXTRAORDINARY EsCAPADE.

Thursday morning last, about one
o'clock, deputy sheriff. of Shelby county
in charge of the Memphis Jail suffered
several murderers locked up in that mag
niicant building to visit their accustomed
haunts about the city. The gay party of
registering fellows visited the famous
Bromes' Opera House, where wine and
women delight the multitude, the French
gardens, two miles south of the city and
other places which such people are wont
to frequent. Very rudely and ever in de-
fance of the wishes of a charming chief of
police, whose reign blesses Memphis, a
policeman named Athey arrested the
deputy sheriff and his boon companions
and consigned them to prison walls. The
Sheriff of the county, General M. j.
Wright, is absent with his sick wife at
Sewanee and such waslthe indignation eX-
cited in Memphis that General Wright's
friends induced his family physician to go
at once to Sewance that the General might
return at once to Memphis and enquire in
to the conduct and discharge the deputies
who were cognizant and privy to this ex-
traordinary Jail delivery. Such is said to
be the condition of popular sentiment just
now at Memphis that attorneys employed
by murderes will not suffer any criminal
to be tried at the pending term of the
Criminal Court and these deputies may
find their necks endangered. The facts
above recited caused intense excitement in
the city last Thursday. .-- ssr-r--s-

NEWS SUMMARY.

The Times speaks confidently from infor-
nation it cannot make public that the pros
pect Is very good for all the Ring getting to Sing
Sing.
The Tribune says that private advices from
the most trustworthy sources show that Butler
has mo good chance for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor of Massachusetts.
Controller Connolly denies, and shows by
affidavit, that the vouchers in his office stolen
year ago were not taken by his son, as the Post
charges. The general impression in New York
IS that they were stolen through the instigation
of Tweed.
Capt Raphael Semmes, of Sumter privateer-

THE high appreciation for general edu-
cation entertained by the German people
is well illustrated in the following extract
from Senator Schurz's recent speech at
Nashville. In speaking of the need of
popular education, he said:
lam German, and every German heart was
lifted up by those great deeds which were per-
formed recently in France. They say Germany
has great soldiers and great determination. Do
you know who performed those deeds that are
held up to the world as beacon lights to follow
Not the German general, but the German
schOolmaster. [Oheers.l Well, then, if the
schoolmaster could do such things in Germany,
why should he not be able to do them in Amer
lea If he could do them at the North, why
could he not do them in the South
And just here we ought, perhaps, to say
a word concerning the education of girls.
Many people believe that the education of
girls is of minor importance that they do
not need the thorough training of boys.
This is a very grave error. The mothers
of the rising generation shape the destiny
of the country. Frivolous, fashionable
girls, whose highest aim is to dress in
style" have but little conception of their
high and noble mission in life. If we
could reach the ear of mothers, to say to
them few serious words, it would be to
direct the minds and tastes of their daugh-
ter to books and music, and the domestic
duties they will sooner or later be called
upon to discharge. In doing this, there is
no need to lose sight of that true taste in
dress and those higher accomplishments
which will enable their daughters to fill
enviable positions in society-On the con-
trary, it is the surest guarantee that
at the proper time in these matters
they will be guided by that good
Judgment which is SO essential to the
ACCOMPLISHED lady. 1t is sad sight to see
a bright girl in her teens giving her whole
attention and time to the follies of fashion
and pleasure. These things will force
themselves upon her consideration soon
enough after her mind is matured and he1
physical form developed and will even then
have allurements strong enough tC
temnt her. How foolish in mothers though
to allow them to take away the girls
mind from books and those thoughts and
pursuits which are to determine her whole
future, aye even eternity, at time wher
she is peculiarly subject to the temptations
such devotion brings.
The education We all need as a people Il
thorough and practical one, for girls a
we'll as boys-one that will give our mel
and women strong hearts and clear head
TO do we'll their part in life. We meet
agitation onthe subject of how to educat'
girls as well as on popular education

MEssRs. J. N. HARRIS Co., Cincinnati, Ohio:
Gentlemen-l heard one of my customers speak in
such high terms of Aliens Lung Balsam to-day that
ment: He says his mother, who is now sixty years of
age, has suffered with consumption for several years.
and has been under the of all best physicians
but never received auy permanent benefit; then she
resorted to most every kind of Cough and Lung Bal
that could be procured for her. but all to avail
She still grew worse until she confined to her bed;
she would lose the power of respiration, and they
compelled to resort to various restore breath
ing and while she coughed hard she could not eX-
pectorate anything, and the family and friends had
the advertisement of Aliens Lung Balsam in the
Christian Advocate and they thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They commenced giving her the Bal
sam at o'clock P. NJ, as directed, dose every hour
until midnight then she took another spell of cough
ing, and expectorated mouth full of dark yellow mat
ter which something she had not been able to do
for time. They continued to give her the BaSam
until morning and then she began expectorate free
ly and within two hours she had eXpectOraed three
pints of mucus matter, which gave her immediate
lief and since that time she has continued to improve
and take considerable outdoor exercise. Her son
bought more of the Basam to-day and he is re ,on-
msnding it very highly to every 1 one
Was there greater proof of merit than the

public. 1t contains opium in any form, and its
is harmless to the most delicate.

Another Conspiracy.

There is every evidence Of larger demand
for our breadsulIs for. supplying European de-
! licencies Than has been known for many years.
! A II sorts Of corn have advanced largely, and
are held very stffy in The Liverpool and Con-
! linental markets. The crop area in Europe is
much smaller than the average while that
! which has been harvested is inferior both in
quantity and quality 10 the crops Of any Of the
three previous years. The surplus in Russia
Of wheat is conceded to be ten per cent. less
| than the average and there are many com
plants IN regard to the quality Of the harvest
ing in England and in France. The potato
| crop in Ireland is such total failure that al
ready the .Noyh Lime Enpress sounds the note
Of warning to Government to take measures
for preventing u renewal Of the famine horrors
Of l817 In short, rything indicates that
there is already nm export demand for wheat
and corn and flour, which must advance prices
an average of not less than 20 per cent.
This Is the legitimate scale Of profit to which
our suffering agreultnriss are entitled. But
they do not get it. Wheat and corn are adj
yancng daily in Liverpool, but they are not
advancing in New York aud Chicago. There
is conspiracy to prevent the farmers from
reaping the advantage of our superior soil and
season--a conspiracy rs deadly to the produce

and Fisk IS gold conspiracy Of 1869. The con-
sumner will not he able TO get flour any cheap

Ger cannot realize those prices now, at this

THE Accuracy OF NEWSPAPERS. peo-
pie have an idea that tits the business of news
papers to lie and are SO wise as only to believe
newspaper report when they think il would
be easier for the paper to tell the truth than il
is TO tell a lie and they think itan evidence oil
wit TO reject all evidence for authority that
comes from newspapers. A few minutes
thought would convince any person Of COM
mon judgment that such conrse is great
mistake. The editor gathers his news from
thousand sources, from acquaintance and
strangers, from letters and papers. He Sits,
culls, hunts, condenses and endcavors to get
the straight Of avery story he publishes, for II
goes TO the public over his name, and he
knows that in great measure he will be held
responsible for it. The private individual
hears piece Of gossip, carelossly, ard repeats
it with carclessness, and il called upon for de-
tails nine cases out of ten cannot furnish
enough of them to make an intelligent item for
paper. II is 10 the advantage Of the news
papers TO furnish facts, but where there Is so
much FIRE there must be some smoke. How
many men can show q record for correctness,
accuracy and truthfllness that will compare
with the average newspaper The wonder
instead Of being that the newspaper should
contain occasional Inaccuracies and nis-state-
ments, is that they contain so few Of them,
considering the sources from which the editor
derives bis information.
