river over three feet. The Missouri is
falling at Omaha, but continues TO rise,
though not so rapidly, at Kansas City
and below. The Ohio is falling at
Evansville and is stationary at Louis

The Allen residence property to be
sold on Second street, tomorrow after
noon, is one of the most desirable points
of locality for a pleasant and elegant
home that can be found in the city, and
we suppose the sale will bring together a
large attendance. The fine size OF the lot,
having so large front and being on the
crown of the ridge, which may justly
boast of having always been regarded
the healthiest part of the city,
are points of attraction, which, in
addition to the chance of securing a
bargain at a peremptory sale, will be
apt to- make a lively and interesting sale.
The sale is to be at 4 o'clock, on the
premises on Second street, above Pop
lar, next lot north of First Methodist
Church. Read the advertisement Of
Messrs. Register, Trezevant Il Co., on
| first page.

ST. JOHNS DAY.
Picnic and Baby show.


On st. Johns Day, the oath instant,
the Masons of Memphis will give a grand
picnic, into which they have concluded
to incorporate the anticipated and ex-
pected baby show. A number of prizes
will be awarded to babies 6, IL and "a
months old. The twins will not be ig-
nored, nor would triplets were there any
such on record in Shelby county. A
prize will also be given to the father OF
the largest family of living children, the
latter to be on the ground on the
show day. 1t is understood that the
awarding committee will not be com
posed of bachelors either young
or old, but of staid fathers of families
and sensible matrons. Refreshments,
music and dancing will be the order OF
the day, and at night grand exhibition
of fireworks will take place. The pro-
ceeds of the picnic will be appropriated
to the Masonic Relief Board for the
benefit of the widows and orphans OF
Master Masons--a most laudable object,
and one which will receive the patronage
and encouragement Of the public.

Oliver Wendell Holmes says that we
must bestir ourselves, for the new gene
ration is upon us-the descendants of the
old cannibal troglodytes, civilized as well
as savage races, live upon their parents.
Each generation struggles and devours
its predecessor The young Fijian car
ries a cord in his girdle for his father $

producing anything of a scare. Sales
were 525 bales, including a list OF l64
bales average strict good ordinary at
lie and another lot of 65 bales strict
ordinary at Ice. The New York market
opened strong to-day and Liverpool IS
6rmer. Offerings here are so light that
selections are nearly out Of the ques-
ton. 1t is estimated that out of the
5693 bales reported as the stock on hand
there is not more than 1900 bales on the
market for sale. Factors are firm and
buyers Indifferent. Small lots are
picked up here and there at irregular

A ROYAL FRESHMAN.
He Nonplusses the True Blues.


A very amusing anecdete is told of
an Irishman who happened to be in
Paris short time ago, while three
crowned heads of Europe were there
on a visit to his Imperial Majesty,
Napoleon. These distinguished per-
sons were the Emperors of Russia
and Austria and the King of Prussia.
One day, having thrown aside all
state ceremonial, they determined
to see the sights of the beautiful city
on the Seine, for their own delecta-
ton, and for that purpose they re-
solved to go incog,, so as not to be
recognized by the people. Howev-
er, in their stroll through Paris they
went astray, and meeting gentle
manly looking person, who happened
to be an Irishman, they politely asked
him if he would kindly direct them
to the Palais Royal. "Faith, and
that will my boys" says Pat, at
the same time taking mental pho
tograph of the three "boys." "This
way my hearties." And so they
were conducted to the gates of the
Royal palace, and the Irishman was
about bidding them farewell, when
the Emperor of Russia, interested
and pleased as much by the genuine
politness of Pat land what son of
Erin was ever yet deficient in cour-
tesy and politeness,) asked him who
he was. "Welp rejOined their guide,
III did not ask you who you were
and before | answer you, perhaps
you will tell me who you be-" After
some further parleying, one said 81
am Alexander, and they call me
Gear, or emperor of all the Russias,"
Indeed" said Pat, with rou-
gish twinkle in the corner ofhis eye,
and an incredulous nod of his head,
las much as if to say, "This boy is
up to coddling me a bit.") "And
might make bowld to ak you who
be, me Aower?" "They call me
Francis Joseph, and the Emperor of
Austria" ''Most happy to make
your acquaintance, Frank, my boy"
says the Irishman, who thinking he
was hoaxed in his despairing efforts
to get the truth, as he conceived, out
of any of them, turned to the third
one and said: "Who are yon ~
"They call me Frederick Will
lam, and | am King of Prussia. y
They then reminded him that he
promised to tell them who he was,
and after some hesitation, and
a mysterious air of confidence,
Pat, putting his hand to his mouth,
whispered, II am the Emperor Of
China, but don't tell anybody"

BLACKBERRY VINE The black
berry season will soon be upon US,
and we would urge our readers to
make the most of it. This delicious
fruit is not less valuable intrinsically,
because it grows spontaneously all
over the country, and may be had
in profusion for the picking. Apart
from the delicious pies, cordials, mar
mades, it yields wine, with proper
manipulation, superior to the best
claret that can be bought in our mar
ket; and is also valuable for its med
icinal properties. How many fami-
lies throughout our fruitful Southland
might supply their tables the year
round with blackberry wine, almost
without money, by the exercise of a
little care aud industry and intelli-
gence at the proper season, thus adj
ding a luxury to the house supplies.
To manufacture the wine, mash
the berries in a vessel--a jar is best
the vessel and let them stand
for twenty-four or thirty hours
Then strain the juice by squeezing
through cotton or linnen cloth into
jars. Strain again once day for
two or three successive days, until
the Juice becomes cleared of dregs,
This being done, add three pints of
water to one gallon of juice. Then
put into it two and half pounds of
the best brown sugar to the gallonJo
Juice and water. After standing two
or three days closely covered jars,
strain it again through flannel
cloth. 1t will be finished and ready
to be put away in air-tight vessels =
demijohns are the best, for the rea-

THE CAUSE OF RUST IN WHEAT

! have before me an article in last
weeks Telegraph stating that it is
getting to be the pretty general opin-
ion among farmers that the sowing
of grass seed, clover or timothy, in
the fall with wheat, is the cause of
rust in the same, &c.
| beg leave to differ from that ar
ticle; first, clover is generally sown
in the spring, in the region of coun-
try at lea8t-the winter would prob
ably destroy it; but timothy is US
ually sown with the wheat or close
following it, If any person wishes
to raise a crop Of wheat and rust, |
will give him receipt how to do so.
Sow your wheat very late in the
fall, in order to not get much root,
so that the frosts Of winter may
raise much of it out of the ground
and cause it to perish it will then
start in the spring thin, grow rank,
with very dark color and ripen
very late. You may then expect a
good crop of rust, Yet if it is sown
in good season, ground good, plenty
of seed, timothy moderately, you
may expect as bright straw as any
of your neighbors, although they
may have sown grass seed or no.
Damp or rainy weather is favorable
to smut, but that will come if it
choose, grass or no. If the wheat is
sown early, the timothy need not be
quite so thick as was formerly the
custom when sown later; the reason
is it will supply itself with a strong
er root. But the grass seed is of
high importance, as the wheat crop
will barely pay at the present prices
of grain, labor, machinery, fertiliz-
ers, &c.
tits also claimed that grass seed
sown after harvesting the wheat will
produce as good crops the following
year, as it would if sown with the
wheat. Here | differ again, very
much as to the timothy and clover,
also, if it is sown after the wheat
harvest; for we well know that we
are very liable to have much dry
weather after harvest, that would be
much against its taking root; we al
so know that many weeds and much
fall-grass, as it is usually termed,
would be striving for the mastery
and smother it out, so that in the
following fall or spring we would
have to put on our "specks" per-
haps to find it; and to have good
crop the following season the chance
| think would be slim. With even
a wet autumn, the fall-grasses and
other intruders would even more
quickly, perhaps, choke the newly
sown grasses.--Cor. IN GerDsantO'on
