SITTING ONA MAN.

The Persian method of collecting
debts is to visit the delinquent
debtor and refuse to leave until he
makes payment. The creditor
brings his blanket and taking his
station in front of his house he
makes all kinds of dolorous music
much to the discomfort of the be
seiged who pays him in order to get
rid of him. The proceeding is
called "sitting On a man."
The number of our delinquents
is too great for this method to be
practicable and as TO the music it
would avail but little as we fear
many of them are deaf. We judge
from the fact that they do not seem
to have heard our last call. We can
neither sit on five hundred men at
once, nor cause the deaf to hear,
but those who refuse to pay US
will one day lift up their eyes be-
holding the astounding fact that
the devil has come to sit upon
them, and the devil is a first class
collector.

Eorax and Nitre i'm Colds

DR.. W, Carson states, in the Med
icaI Record. that by the use of these
two remedies he has had the pleasure
within the last few years. of restoring
to number of clergymeu and lee
turers the lost gift of speech within
twenty-four hours The paper con>
tains a statement of several cases.
He sums up the results of bis eXper-
fence in the following conclusions:
That in sudden hoarscness or loss of
voice in public speakers or singers,
from "colds," relief for an hour or so.
as by magic, may be often obtained
by slowly dissolving and partially
swallowing a lump ofborax the size OF
a garden pea, or about three or four
g rains, held in the mouth for ten
minutes before speaking or singing.
This produces a free secretion of
saliva, or watering of the mouth and
throat, 1t probably restores the voice
or tone to the dried vocal cords just
as ''wetting" brings back the missing
notes to flute, when it is too dry.
Such colds may be frequently
"broken up" at the very commence
ment, and this restorative action OF
the borax to the voice may be mater
tally aided by promptly taking the
evening p evious o the public efforiE
dissolved in glass of sweetened wa
ter. piece of nitrate of potassa. or
"5altpetre' little larger than a gar
den pea or about five grains, on go>
ing to bed, and covering with an ex-
ira blanket. The patient should
keep warm next day. This both
moistens the dry throat and fnrther

THE SHAH.

The Vienna correspondent Of the
New York World thus pictures the
glittering and gorgeous brute who
has just made the tour Of Europe,
TO the disgust of civilized people.
The Shah arrived in vienna 10 or II
days ago on Wednesday night. On
the morning after his arrival it
was intimated to him that the Em~
press wss ready to receive him. But
the Hub of the Universe, influenced
by Oriental views of woman kind, did
not see why he should exert himself
even for the wife of his host and re
piled that he would come when he
got ready. So the Empress, feeling
not only sighted but positively INSULT
ed. threatened to pack up her trunks
and leave for Hungary, her place OF
refuge whenever thing go wrong IN
Austria Nothing but the strongest
reasoning induced her to abandon her
eatened hegira. At all events, the
Shah was never formally received
and n fact never met the Empires,
until the very night before his derar-
ture. VIXEN he was presented to her
in an of hand way in front Of the
balcony at Schonbrunn. The cor
RESPONDENTS Of the English press, who
have been so lavish in their praise OF
the Shah for political reasons easily
understood will DO well to reflect
awhile on this Treatment of a woman
who is pot only renowned for her
beauty and accomplishments but
respected for her personal amiablllty.
Why should one hesitate to speak the
truth of a barbarian that insults the
wife of his host, eats without knife
and fork and wipes his fingers on the
window-curtain, soils the floor and
carpets in manner uncomfortable,
sells out orders and ribbons, permits
his retinue to convert their quarters
into a high temple of VenuS OutytCdgG
and leaves without paying his blllS u!
We're Baron Reuter- and the Grown
Prince of Prussia and the PRINCE OF
Wales to publish their private &C
counts, showing where they had made
the deficiency good. what a revela-
ton we should have! Here in Vienna
the jewellers profted by the Ex>
neriance of their brethren in Berlin
and Paris. The successful applicant
for a Persian order did not receive 1t
direct from the Shah, but got only an
authorization to have it made. In
this manner, it will be observed, the
Shah got his money, the applicant
his decoration. and the jeweller his
money and so the satisfaction was
general and complete.

THE SUPREME COURT OUT
RAGE

1t is announced that the SUI
rremc Court of Tennessee has de-
clined holding its fall term at
Knoxville, and business goes over
until Spring. 1t is unfortunate
that the few cases of cholera occur
ring there have alarmed our SUI
preme Judges. Many parties suffer
enormously by these delays. Bank
ruptcy aud financial ruin frequently
come of them. The truth is cur
judges should be compelled by
force of stacuary law TO hold their
regular sessions somewhere. Many
persons have all they are worth
suspended in these Courts and it
is cruel and unnecessary TO keep
them stretched upon the rack f
financial torture, Just because some
disease may be threatening some
locality. The members of the bar
are too often parties to these post
ponements, having some cases
which they think would profit by de-
lay. The result is they ask the
Court for general postponement
of the term. We know that this
thing has been done, and it should
by some means be condemned. If
the candidates for the Tennessee
Legislature would take bold ground
in favor of stopping this outrage
they would gain popular favor by
II.

''MahOne and Railway ConsoIi-
datiOn.

Unde ,this head ng. the Memph S
Appea continues its earnest advocacy
of the proposition looking to the
consolidation of all the railway lines
from Norfolk, Virginia, to Texarcana
Texas, under the management or
General Malone, who it fifty describes
as ga wonderful organizer aud mana
ger of great railway lines" As we re-
marked yesterday such a consolida>
ton, under such management, would
prove of incalculable advantage to
Lvnchburg, which would thus be
placed on the highway of an East and
West line promising unexampled
prosperity. Says the appeal.
Ii the railway lines from Texarcana
to Norfolk were consolidated under
Malone and Jaques and Ross, the
PREDICTS of Texas, as shown by tables
of distances, would pass through
Memphis and Norfolk. and by sea to
New York, IN less time and for less
money than Ly any possible route for
fie;ghts. With these 70 Ids consolida-
ted, the whole emigrant population
of the States east of Memphis would
select this route to the west. People
moving from one State to another
pursue the parallels of latitude on
which they we're born and have spent
their lives. Thus Virginia and Ten
nessee and North Carolina would find
a highway to the west exclusively
over this Memphis highway. Messrs.
Jacques and Ross have already address,
ed themselves to. he task of securing
a share OF the travel, trade and traffic
ofTexas. and in order to control it
beyond the possibility of successful
rivalry, Malone and Jaques should
co operate.
Let us have the roads from Nor
