Periodic Disorders.

The paroxySmal maladies which characterized
by heat and cold prevail extensively at this season.
and curious fact that in many parts of the

general resemblance to fever and ague, remitent
fever, assume periodic type Thus in many sections
infested with chls and fever rheumatism, neuralgia,
hysteria diarrhUl &c, sometimes become intermit-

cd by the same poisonous exhalations which produce
the first named disease.
In all these masked of aguefor such they are

HARD TIMES.

We hear great deal said abont lizard
times in East Tennessee. The'people are
all complaining about the scarcity ofmoney.
We are not surprised that this is true. We
send our money away to other sections,
and the balance of trade is against us. For
instance: We are informed from reliable
source, that company of itinerant stove
dealers, who have travelled over a large
portion of East Tennessee within few
months past, have received from our peo-
pie for their wares, upwards of $500, 900
This amount is about the same as q clear
loss to this section. 1t is true, we have re-
ceived large number of inferior stoves
for our money, but it is gone, and We will
derive no more benefit from it.
This is only an example of what we are
doing in many other instances. We have
plenty of money, or ought to have plenty,
to supply every branch and class of trade,
but instead of keeping it, we send it away
from home for the purchase of articles that
we ought to manufacture ourselves. 1t is a
species of suicide for us to send away more
than 5000, 900 in one season, when money
is so scarce, for the purchase of stoves,
while our hills and mountains are full of
iron and coal. While we continue to pur
sue such policy, we must expect to re-
main poor. Hard times is the natural
result of our short-sightedness.

THE TIME TO RAISE SHEEP.

The year 1872 will be profitable one Tor
wool growers. For the two years just end
ed tens of thousands of sheep have been
slaughtered in the North for their pelts,
They were bought up by droves at fifty
cents per head and slaughtered for their
hide and talIow. This wholesale destruc-
ton of course caused a rapid decrease III
the production of wool, and rapid in
crease in the price. Last year the wool
demand was far greater than the year pre-
ceeding, and this year it promises to be
still more. We are advised by a gentle
man now in the city, from one of the larg-
est wool producing counties of Ohio, that
agents are now busy throughout that sec
ton, contracting for the coming wool clip
on the foot, at siXty-five to seventy-tive
cents per pound, one half more than paid
two years ago. Sheep are hard to be
found, and the class that sold two years
ago for fifty cents, are now bought at from
three to five dollars.
The above facts are worthy of cOnsidera-
ton in East Tennessee. We have heard
lately of parties going through our coun-
ties buying up sheep at low figures and
Strengthening them for their hides. The
farmer that sells sheep now for such pur-
poses, is pursuing very short sighted pol
icy. For the next few years wool growing
must prove profitable everywhere and par
ticularly here, where sheep can be raised
and kept for one half what it costs in
Ohio. We have repeatedly published the
statement of experienced wool men, that
East Tennessee presented more induce
ment to this interest than any other sec
ton. We believe that if our au-
thorities would tax dogs and
kill off all that are not proper
Iy fed and kept, we would soon
boast of some of the finest fiOcks of sheep
anywhere to be found. We know of farm
ers in Ohio who fed during winter three
thousand head of sheep and made money,
with wool at fifty and sixty cents. How
much better would the same business pay
here, where the winters are milder and eX-
ira feeding necessary only few winter
months We hope the prospect now be-
fore wool growers will induce our people
to stop the foolish killing Ofsheep for their
hides and encourage them to raise them
for wool.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE GENERAL ORDER
BUSINESS.

The enemies of the President have all
the time been striving with great zeal, to
connect him in an Odious manner with the
General Order abuses in the New York
Custom House. In their zeal, they have
unwittingly removed the thin veil, be-
meath which they sought to conceal their
real purposes and now every one can see
that if they could not convict Grant, they
didn't care to convict any one. On Mon
day the investigating committee heard
General Porter, keeping him Oh the wit
ness stand five hours. 1t will be seen by
the following report of his evidence, which
we find in the Courier Journal, the lead
ing southern Democratic paper, that his
evidence does not Criminate the President
in any sense:
WASHINGTON, March 4-The investigation
into the corruptiOns of the General Order bust
ness of the New York Custom House was re-
sumed at the Capitol by the Special Committee
on Retrenchment, and General Porter, the
Presidents Secretary was examined at great
length. His evidence covered nearly live hours
of time, most of which was occupied IN severe
and most searching crosS-eXamlnatlon byMeSSrS.
Bayard and Casserly, which brought out all the
witness said he could reCollect relative to what
was done and said at the Executive Mansion as
to LeetS connection with the General Order
business. In brief, this most protracted exam
nation amounted to just this in the main, that
while the President had given Leet of his
former staff, letter to Collector Grinnell,
of simple introduction, he had before that
directed General Porter to write Leet that the
President did not think that anv one who had
been connected with him as Leet had been
ought to become interested in the custom
house contracts or business in any wav. The
original of this was followed by Statement
that the first that was known at the Executives
Mansion that Leet was in any way connected
with the custom house was the appearance of
Leet's name in the evidence of the old Re-
trenchment Committee. This announcement
created some surprise. General Porter then
explained that the famous military mess about
which so much had been said was merely an
economical arrangement between Leet and
Babcock and himself and their families to live
cheaper, and that the highest bill any one paid
in one month was not more than sixty dollars,
instead of thousands as heretofore stated
The statements of the witness in New York,
that Porter was in the custom house, the latter
pronounced to be utterly false, and their authors
slanderers, liars and libeers. In the case of
MIDGET, who made such a statement, Porter
read letters from all the parties whom Mudgett
gave as authorities for it, to prove it untrue.
These were the three points of the direct exam

BAXTER first shook the foundation stone
of the Nashville papers, when he exposed
their frauds on the State treasury IN the
public printing. They have of course pur-
sued him with malice and vituperation
ever since. The country weeklles are now
knocking another stone from under them
by some ugly facts plainly told. Ever
since Baxter's public printing swindle
exposures took from them the nice job of
two prices for printing, they have been
hard pressed for money. They have lately
been making huge efforts to make raise.
They flood Middle Tennessee with their
weekIies sent on credit to thousands, and
then boast of their circulation to get adj
vertisements. Then they advanced the
price of their paper from ten to twelve
dollars, and cut off sending their daily for
country weeklies. The latter class of pa
pers have been letting fly some singing
articles in return.
The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf hits them
in this style:
There was but one reason why We should like
to have their papers Confound them, they re-
quired watching. Trying to run without brains,
and wholly without political principles of any
defined nature, they will never take part in any
matter of State policy unless it be one on which
they will have no opposition.
The Union and American never rises above
anything Its policy is to compose the rear
guard in an advance, and an advance
guard on a retreat, two positions for
which it is pre-eminently qualified. Not
long since we felt called on to denounce
what we consider an Ubiquitous thing, the pas
sage of law obviously 70 allow thes two pap
erS to remove their suits ofJno. Baxter against
them to Nashville. Being evidently for their
benefit, we had right to suppose that it was
passed by their procurement: The Banner
promptly discontinued its exchange with us,
not even sending a weekly. We suppose, and
have right to suppose, it was on that account,
and we may here remark that it is not the only
paper or person which dislikes to hear or read
the truth,

one moment how such vileness can ca
ist as one hears of. the next, one cannot
understand where all the zeal, energy
and money comes from that does such
great good"
One would fain believe that in Mem
phis as well as in Philadelphia there
are plying, tender-hearted women who
would stretch out helping hand to the
fallen, but repentant OF their own sex,
to those more sinned against than sin
ming, did they dare brave the censure
and seorn of the immaculate throng Of
gentle women who, neverhaving known
a temptation, gather closely their snowy
robes as they pass the poor outcast who,
perhaps, erred through concession to
her highest and noblest instincts. Dare
to raise voice for them, and it is sug-
gested that one must have a leaning to
their crime to feel any sympathy; try to
help them, and the cutlery is louder and
more insulting; go hear them and try
to raise them up, and disgrace stares
you in the face; and so, shaekled by ig-
BOrance, thOughtlessness and criminal
propriety, we stand still, and day by
day the fair forms which once bright
ened happy homes sink down under the
dark waters of pollution and are seen no
more, unless their CHASTITY, woe-begone
faces rise to taunt US when some known
and loved form yields to the mighty
tempter and joins the dark throng.
In the name Of Christ and sweet, holy
charity, begin the noble work, you true
hearted women of Memphis. Give
what you can, your money, energy,
time or sympathy, for it is Gods work,
and must be done. BEATRICE.

MASQUERADE AND mAsKERs.


Masquerade parties have become 80
popular in Memphis this season, and are
becoming SO numerous, both private
and public, that a few suggestions may
appropriately be made to maskers.
The great difficulty generally is that
80 few attempt to represent character
and act it out, and Disguise seems to be
almost the only aim. With few excep-
tons, we never see any real conception
Of character displayed, and it is not so
much from inability as from evident
mistaks or indifference. More well
chosen and well acted characters, with
less decided view to disguise, would give
parties and balls more life and vim, for
in most cases the first part of a naasque-
rade is actually stupid and boresome.
Let clubs of Dickens's characters,
" Shakespearian characters, y and others,
be formed, then our affairs will never
prove tiresOme. If something of the
sort is not done, people will grow weary
OF the decided and fatal sameness, char
acteristic now of such amusements. One
or two really good characters viii make
a party a success. Twenty or thirty win

STEAMBOAT DISASTERS.
The Steamers Undine and Laura Sunk,
and Several Fine Boats Badly
Damaged.
The West Wind, Belle of Pike, st.
Francis, Andy Baum and the Wharf
boat Cat Loose by tAe lee.

Great excitement and damage was
caused at the levee, between one and
two o'clock this morning, by the break
ing up Of the ice, which commenced
running 50 strong at the foot Of Washing
ton street as to break the fastenings OF
several boats lying near that point. The
boats thus released were forced against
others, some Of which we're so damaged
as to sink in a short time; while the ice
cut down a few Of the lighter craft.
The disaster occurring at q time when
there were so few people at the landing,
and so near our hour Of going TO press,
it was impossible to get full report Of
the damage done and the names Of the
losers. People who were working at the
wrecks could hardly tell what amount
of sinking had occurred. We give the
following as the result Of inquiries among
the steambOatncn who had OppOTtuni-
ties of learn of the result:
The Dry Docks broke loose, and
caused several coal bsrges belonging to
Brown & Jones to sink. The docks were
caught and fastened.
The Arlington fiOated down the river
but was made fast again at the foot Of
Union. 1t was also reported that she
was slowed in, but up to haif-past four
o'clock this morning she had taken no
water.
The Andy Baum's line broke and she
foated some distance, coming in con-
tact with the West Wind, knocking
down the chimneys and generally de-
mOlishing the upper works Of the latter.
The Baum was however, afterward
secured.
The old ferrybOat Laura was sunk.
She was commanded by Captain James,
who, we are informed was her owner.
The OsceOla packet Undine sunk. She
was owned and commanded by Captain
Goodrich.
The r. p. Walt was crowded ashore
where she now lies, considerably dam
aged. Several persons on the levee re-
ported her broke in two; but nothing
definite could be learned as to her in
juries.
The Pat Cleburne, Choking a stump"
above Poplar street, was reported o. K.
The st. Francis, Mary Miller, Ash
land. Frank Forrest, Lawrence, Belle Of
Pike, A. J. White P. W. Strader, Glas-
gov, and H. {. Yaeger, were also more
or less injured, and some Of the above
boats were reported in a sinking cOndi-
ton.
No loss of life was reported, though
several persona were hurt, and others
had narrow escapes. The barkeeper of
Baum received a severe wound and Tay'-
Tor Wells, pilot of the same boat, was
badly bruised on the head. John Gin
ton, second clerk of the Baum, was also
a sufferer by the collision of the Baum
and West Wind.
