Medical R1nnders.

From the period when surgeons applied
their salYes to weapons instead of wounds
TO the present wide-awake age, the medical
profession has often unwittingly taken side
with Disease in its conflicts with the hui
man system Even yet, in spite Of the
teachings Of centuries OF experience, some
physicians believe ia depicting their pa
tients, already seriously exhausted by sick
ness, with powerful evaeuants, emeiics,
salivaRts, eautharidal plasters, or the Ian
Get. But, proyideudally, public intelli-
gence Is ahead of these medical fossils,
who belong, Of right, to the era Of the
Crusades! That powerful ally OF nature
in its warfare with the causes Of sickness
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, has opened the
eyes of the masses to the paramount impor-
lance of increasing the vital strength Of
the body when menaeed by disease. They
understand that when the atmospheric con-
ditions are adverse n health, IL Is wise to
reinforce the system with wholesome toR-
ic and stlmulant. and thus enable it to COM

VIM. Mclean, late Tax Collector
of Shelby county, has been Tor a
week or two on trial FOR embeEEle-
ment of public funds. The jury
could not agree, and so William was
bound over to another term aud an
other trial.
The Troy Times says ObiOn couH-
ty was q territory fifty years ago,
with less than one hundred men in
it. Five of the men, who were then
old enough, and were married, still
live there and have never lived out
of the county. Elisha Parker was,
perhaps, the first man that ever
built a permanent residence in the
territory; and he lived there fifty
years and moved to Arkansas, to
start a graveyard, but still lives.
The Lawrence Journal tells of a
hen belonging to a citizen. She
Matched out a brood of chickens

them proudly. But three weeks al

laying for another, and now, when
she wants to go to her nest to Jay,
she takes her young 10 another hen

AIcOrn aRd Ames.

The opinion prevails that the ex-
IRENE Radical carpetbag State tick
ct in Mississippi will be as follows:
Gen. Ames will be the nominee
for GOVERNOR Ham Carter, (colored)
for lieutenant-governOr; Geo. +.
Harris, of Hernandez, for attorney
general; j. Ii. Pyles, (col.) of PIANO.
Ia, for State superintendent of pub
education; w. IL. Nasser, the pres
ent incumbent, for treasurer, and
some southern Republican fer audi
tor of public accounts. Strange as
people may think it, Ben. Butler
has an eye on the presidency, and
Mississippi Is to be made one of his
stepping stones by his son-in-law
Ames. Were it not for this Ames
would have returned to his home
down east long ago. Butler viii
care for Massachusetts,, and Ames
comes up with his corner away
down south. Alcorn is supposed to
condemn this nice little scheme, but
the chances in Ames's favor against
Powers or any friend Of Alcorn are
not brilliant, If Radical papers pro-
perly expound popular Radical feel
ing and preferences in Mississippi.
But if an Alcorn man enter the
field against Ames, and the Conser-
vatives have a straight Democratic
candidate, it is said that Ames will
walk over the course, winning an
easy triumph. OF all this we are
not wholly prepared to speak. The
above are views of an intelligent
correspondent at Jackson.

The salary steal.

The Credit Mobilier operations,
supplemented by the salary steal in
Congress, do not go down well in
the land of the Pharisees, who must
turn up their blear eyes about it for

The honester portion of the people
and the press condemn it with one
voice. Here is what the Boston

other able journal at the hub is Civ

it:
The cOndemniDg voice of the press
and people still lashes the "salary
steal" that was the concluding bust
ness of the Forty-second Congress,
and they who dare support it now

of, through some Journals dodge a
positive denunciation. The New
York Nation periodically likens

that he never associated with pur-

stubborn Facts.


In regard to the Funding bill, the
Avalanche produces the following
stubborn facts:
The amount of the debt of Ten
nessee to be funded under the fund
ing scheme is S29, 125, 94S. The in
terest on this at per cent, payable
semi annually, is s., 747, $50 50. This
can be raised only by taxation on
$3.50, 600, 900 of property which, for
the sake of decency in behalf of the
funders, we admit will be increased
TO $500, 200, 900. Now, the leading
advocates of the funding scheme =
Messrs. Houk and McFarland-are
irrevocably committed to the posi-
ton that forty cents viii raise reye-
nue. sufficient to carry out the pro-
visions of the funding bill. Well,
forty cents on $500, 100000 yields
81, 200, 900; privilege tax, $4,000 ;
total, 81, 100000, provided every
dollar can be collected, which never
has been, and never will be. There
will then be 81 zoo, 900 to pay the in
terest, which is $1,747, $50 IS, or q
deficit of $47, $50 So on the interest.
To this must be added the follow
ing items of indebtedness:

contrary, refused to give the small
aid asked to the Nashville and North
western road, and that road went to
Mckenzie, and built up a rival town
at our own doors. In this, Paris
and the county Of Henry committed
a fatal mistake, which many of our
people now plainly see. And now
the last-the only remaining oPpor-
tunity-offers itself TO our citizens
to repair our mistake, in the offer of
the Narrow Gauge road. If we ac-
cept this opportunity, the town of
Paris, and the county Of Henry,
may net only regain what we have
LOST, but we may rival Jackson in
point of importance in any CONNER

the advantages we naturally possess

The talk about Whitthorne, or

What our jackson NeighBOrs are
Doing.

The people of our neighboTing
city of jackson have been for sever
al years, a most industrious and
Jealous set of workers; laboring not
only with zeal, but with intelli-
gence, in favor of Railroads. The
fruits of this zeal and labor have re-
suited in making Jackson a great
railroad cepter, and where once a
little inland town rested quietly and
unnoticed upon the banks of the
Eorked Deer river, now is to be
seen busy new city. Everybody
who now visits Jackson, is impress
ed with her growth, energy and en-
terprise. Her citizens well deserve
the success they have won by their
libeTality in aid of the railroads that
have made her what she is. What
would jackson have been to-day
without her railroads!
But still she reaches out her strong
hands TO secure more, aud we hope
they NAV succeed The PROPOSE
ton now before Jackson, to vote
500, 900 to secure the extension of
the Nashville and Northwestern
road from Huntingdon to that place,
might look like folly in the eyes of
some men. But that project is
worth all of the proposed amount
to Jackson, and we think her peo-
pie have the discretion and enter
prise necessary to make it a success.
= And now, in this connection, let
us come to our own case. Not ma
nv wears since Paris was q more i'm
portaRt town than Jackson. Paris
sold more goods, and had a fairer
and more hopeful prospect, (future,)
from the fact that Paris was nearer
the Tennessee river, then the only
artery of commerce in this section
of the State. Paris merchants re-
ceived their goods at the landings
on Tennessee river. and Henry
county producers hauled their pro-
duce to the same points. At that
period Jackson merchants hauled
their goods from Memphis and 9TH
er points on the Mississippi river,
and Madison county producers haul
ed their products 10 the same points.
But the days of Railroads came,
Jackson obtained one road, and
hauling a distance of from sixty to
ninety miles ceased. Paris obtained
OuC lOa0 WIN 4CG0Als--
These roads worked wonderful
changes in these (then) rival towns,
and their respective counties, both
of which were largely developed in
wealth and commercial facilities.-
But Jackson, by keen foresight,
and the energy and enterprise of her
citizens, went 10 work, and obtain
ed another road, and here her foun-
dalton as a city was permanently
laid. During this time Paris and
Henry county made no effort to Sc
cure any more roads, but on the

the only remedy for heavy freight
