A FIEND.
Grady. the White Camanehe-A Devil
and Brute-Beast in Human Shape.

From the Shreveport Times
As the scourge through which we are
passing has served to develop the
nOblest traits that sdorn humanity, so,
too, it has brought TO the surface pas
siOns that would disgrace a Camanche.
Among the vile few with which this
community has been cursed in its days
of death and desOIation, one J. c. Grady
stands pre-eminent. This base creature,
shortly after the breaking out of the epi-
demic, volunteered his services as a
nurse, and while in that capacity at the
residence of an estimable citizen-Cap-
tain w. w. Barrett-is supposed ohave
stolen one hundred dollars, that sum
being missed after Grady's leaving the
house, and he showing a large sum of
money while on a spree shortly after.
Arrested for outrageous disOrderly con-
duet, he showed so much professional
skin in trying to dig out of the Gala
bOOse, as to leave no doubt that il was
not his first stay within prison walls
But these exploits were nothing in COM
parison with what We're to follow. In
the scarcity of nurses, Grady succeeded
IN fOisting himself upon a worthy
couple residing a short distance from
the city, the husband being down with
the fever at the time. From his drunken
neglect the lady was soon a widow, and
was taken with the malady. While
lying fever-scorched and battling with
death. this fiend made brutal attempt
upon her person. But heaven lent the
almost dying woman strength in her
dire extremity, and she succeeded in
fOiling the wretch's hellish design.
Fearing rope and short shrift, Grady
"lit out, - and is supposed to have gone
in the direction Of Little Rock, where he
at one time figured as printer. That
the public at large may sspOt" the
brute, We give the following descrip-
ton of Grady: He is about twenty
eight or thirty years old, five feet eight
or nine inches high, weighs one hun
dred and thirty pounds, has gray eyes,
light brown curly hair, light mOustache,
has a broken nose, hair-lip, and Is an
ugly GUS. generally, whose looks would
condemn him without due process Of
law. Our hope is to hear soon OF his
arrest and speedy execution.

THE OUTLOOK MORE CHEERING
In the remarks we have made in this
column, from time to time, touching the
fever prospect, we have endeavored to
confne ourselves strictly to the facts as
they were reported to US at the end OF
each twenty-four hours. Grouping these
facts together, we have had to paint
manv gloomy pictures, seldom a
cheering ore. Yesterday what we
had 20 sly was tinged with a melan-
chaiy rs somber as the bleak, inhospit-
abe and wintry sky. Every one likely
TO know anything of the fever and fever
patients that our reporters met with on
saturday, was blue. The weather had
taken another turn, it became soft and
warm again, and the sky was overcast
with clouds that broke late at night in
torrents Of rain, and yesterday poured
necessarily. This, coupled with the still
large mortality list, and the still large
number Of new cases and rtlapSes, took
away what hope We had, and We said
80. The reports of the Howards and of
the various other relief bodies, was any
thing but cheering, and the physicians
shook their heads in doubt, some Of the
experienced nurses expressing fears that
the disease would take a fresh start. But,
as We have said before, all signs
fail, and there is nothing certain
but death. The murky weather
has BOT "aided and abettedn the
lever. On the contrary, the reports of
yesterday combine to give us more heart
aud hope than ever. There is a very
great reduction in the number of cases
under treatment, and a great decrease
in the number of new cases. This,
with the changeto cold weather, which,
as we write latter midnight promises
very favorsbly, and We think
we are over the apex of the
arch, and will hereafte, move
rapidly down to the other side. The
deaths of yesterday are no reduction on
those Of the day before. They are the
same in the total, but those by yellow
fever were as twenty-five to
iwenty-four on Saturday. This, of it.
SELF would not be encouraging,
but coupled with the other facts
enumerated, we think we can draw q
free breath, take fresh courage and pre-
pare to give the yellow monster the
cup de grace. There is still much
nursing to be done, still a great
deal Of afliiction to relieve, still
many hungry and naked thou
sands to feed and clothe. There
is yet a great deal of labor before our
relief committees, our physicians, our
nurses and our board OF health. If it Is
done as well as that Of the past six /
weeks We may by next Sabbath be able /
TO report such a decrease in the mortali-
y list as viii encourage our
sb~eutees TO couEt the days when they
can return TO their homes and begin /
again the labors Of life. As yet, they
must not think of it. The return of any
number Of our citizens at this time .
would only be as so much fuel for the
flame, and might eventuate in re-
turn Of the epidemic with force and
energy more fatal than We have yet |
had 10 chronicle. For those at home
there is yet much hard work and many /
anxious moments; for those abroad there
Is patient waiting for the end.

GENERAL NJ. D. LEGGETT, father Of
the Cornell student who was killed by
falling from a precipice, last week,
writes to the Washington Star that he
is convinced that his sons death was en-
tirely accidental and in no way con-
nected with "hazing." He says the young
man had asked and received consent Of
his parents to join the secret society, and
continues: 4" Mortimer was there OF his
own free will, and with his own chosen
friends. In the ceremonies of that aw-
full night, those students had in view
Mortimer's pleasure and profit, and had
no more expectation of danger or aeel-
dent than he had. L cannot, therefore,
find it in my heart to specially blame
these young men nor Cornell Unlver-

M'KENZIE.
A Most Pleasant TOwn-InVitatiOn to
Immigrants.

From an Occasional Correspondent.
MCKENZIE, Tenn, OctOber24, 1873
This locality has enjoyed the favor of
a fair average crop OF cotton this year
perhaps a full average, and of good
grade, now being gathered rapidly. The
corn crop may fall somewhat below
full average. The amount of hogs viii
be rather short for the demand. Some
more hay saved than usual. The for
mer owner of the lands Immediately
about the crossing of the railroads here,
Mr.. Mckenzie, departed this life few
days ago. He was a man of great ener-
~ and perseverance, very ardent in his
feelings, a kind neighbOr and devoted
friend. Bethel College, located at this
place, the school at which quite a num-
Der OF the business men of Memphis
were educated, stands high in public
favor. Her superior faculty and mOder-
ate charges ELL an Important demand in
the country at the present time. West
Tennessee may well be proud Of this in
stitutiOn on account of its high moral
tone, conservative character and princi-
pies, fine discipline, and thOroughness
of scholarship, in all Of which il ranks
among the foremost institutions of the
country. 1t is now working on the CO.
educational system, and giving entire
so far as known. This is a
favorable point for persons desiring a
pleasant country town. The surround
ing country is a high, productive region,
with q plain, industrious, enterprisiDg,
church going population. There has
never been a case of cholera or yellow
fever originated here. Let persons pro-
posing TO change location direct stten-
lion to this place. There are frequent
for homes here. The town
is increasing as rapidly as could be ex-
pected with so many railroad crossings
in the country. With the superior edu-
cstional facilities, fine health, and pro-
of the country, this point is
bound to be desirable. Y. y.

JAMES w. WALLACK laid the fOun
dation of his fortune here by buying out
John Brougham, then the proprietor
and manager of what was known of
Brougham's lyceum, afterward Wal
lacks theateT, and subsequently Woods
theater, near the corner Of Broadway
and Broome street. Wallaek happened
10 mention, one morning, to the large
hearted landlord Of q Broadway hotel,
where he boarded, that he thought he
could make a good deal Of money
if he only had six thousand dollars"
" How could you do that?n was the in
quiry. - could get possession OF the
theater with that sum, and 1 am conf
dent [ could make it pay handsomely"
The landlord quietly remarked: Per-
hsps can do something for you, Wal
lack and the conversation was
dropped. Boniface went to two or
three OF his friends, and the same eve
ming handed Wallack a check for six
thousand dollars. The lyceum was
purchased; the name was changed
TO Wallack's theatre; and in
few years, Wallack was worth two
hundred thousand dollars. At that the
ater, Lester Wailack, then known as
John Lester, went upon the stage, and
soon became q favorite. He had held a
in the Brit sh army, but
soon sod out on account Of bis extreme
short-sightedness, which prevented him
from serving with any sort of satisfsc-
ton. Eis father built the present play
house at the corner Of Broadway and
street, and when he died,
left it to Lester, who.has made il emf
nenlly prosperous, and who has reVe-
nue. therefrona Cf from fifty 10 sixty
Thousand dollars yesr.

HENRY WARD BEECHER ON SPIR-
ITrAlISM.

Mr., Beecher, in q sermon, lately re-
ferred as follows to spiritualism:
1t is generally admitted that from
the very beginning Of things this
world has been open to the influence
of spirits. We can readily believe
that there is a spiritual influence that
we can neither understand or appre.
eiate. This Is certainly the doetrine
of the New Testament. 1t was taught
both by the Savior and the Apostles,
that both divine and demoniac inf1n-
enees did roll in upon the human soul;
and 1 aver that there is nothing men
should so much desire-and do 50
much need-as those divine influences
which the Bible teaches have been
waited over into this sphere. That
fantastic and false notions have arisen
during all ages concerning this spirit
ual doctrine does not prove its fallacy
by any means. How do men account
for the fact that out Of the lowest saw
age animal condition of man there
has come this conception of free
spirit and consequent spiritual illam-
ination? This idea was with the race
of man as far back as the beginning,
and their vague feeling out after light
showed then as now their need Of It.
OF course, mere seeking does not
prove the existence of an object. but
1t shows a need which it is not part
of Gods economy to allow. Our
Savior asserts the reality of these spir-
itual influences, and declares it Is not
possible for men to understand them.
It is impossible to interpret a higher
T. . Ion hama f1fa
great truth cannot be unfolded in de-
tail as if it were an earthly truth.
Those living in the present have
not so much need of this spiritual
help; but for that great part Of the
race who live in daily Consciousness
of imperfectiOn, who struggle on in
darkness and doubt knowing not how
tn comfort themselves, it Is the one
thing needful. 1t ia the office Of the
Divine Spirit to inspire and comfort
men. There are times when we are
all Of US conscious Of being influenced
| by a spirit outside of ourselves, and
although it is true that this influence
transcends our understanding, we are
nevertheless able 10 prepare ourselves
for its reception oy making ourselves
susceptible to spirit presence. II you
have q sense of personal communion
with the spirit world, believe that
God has found you. Do we not long
to separate ourselves from mere PHYS
ieal consciousness? u? Can any body en-
dure the thought of going down to
the grave to Rnnihilation? Is there
anything we desire more than light
to shine upon the road that leads to
the great beyond?

ON ORIGINALITY.

One does feel sometimes, if one
writes, that there is nothing left in
the world to be original about; that
pretty much everything has been
said, sung, described. The cycioal
theory is a dreadful nightmare. And
to think of LiVingstone's finding in
the very heart Of Africa just the same
sort of bird trap that civilized Amer
lean boys catch chippies with! civ
en-, a human being-and everything
is included. You get your original
idea down to its simplest statement,
and there is nothing left but some
proyerb. familiar as household words.
bne doesn't know whether to be flat
tered or annoyed; but If one does
strike off something really original
something that one may be morally,
If not statistically, certainly cannot
be found in the aneients-he Is sure
to read 1t next day in the Presidents
inaugural or George EllioPs latest
novel. These columns of cnoice ex-
tracts from the best writers, new and
old, which are getting to be more and
more in vogue in Journalism, are
more harassing than any special class
of reading to a person who imagines
that he has a patent on any one idea,
or group of ideas. But doubtless one
should congratulate ones self that the
seed of truth is sure to struggle to the
LIGHT through every soil that deep
drainage does no. necessarily help
nor do superpb0sphates hinder it.
This ia the view am inclined to take,
If Shakespeare happens to say the
same thing that l do, let me not be
ignobly Jealous. Rather, let the race
receive my congratulations.-Scri6'

AMOUNT OF MILK FOR A POUND
OF BUTTER OR 4 POUND
nE rHFEgR

We find the following afoat among
the items of the agricultural press:
1.-THE milk that will make one
pound of butter win make two pounds
Of cheese and the butter Is worth
twice as much per pound as the
cheese. Then the buttermilk Is worth
twice as much for feeding hogs or
calves as the whey, leaving q small
balance in favor of making butter.
This, as a general rule, is far from
true, and is calculated to give false
idea. 1t might be true in particular
case. Take the milk Of the Ayrshire
or Short-h horn, twenty or twenty-five
pounds Of which will make pound
Of butter, and this proportion would
approximate the truth, as it requires
on an average not far from ten pounds
of milk to make a pound of cheese.
It often requires thirty pounds OF the
milk Of common stock to make
Mound of butter. This milk would
make at least three pounds Of cheese.
In butter factories generally, 1t re-
quires twenty-four or twenty-five
pounds Of milk to make pound Of
butter. Some Of the Devon dairies In
Otsego county turn out pound Of
butter for every sixteen and seventeen
pounds of milk, which would make
something over a pound and..a half Of
cheese. Many OF the Jerseys give
milk so rich in cream that twenty
pounds of it, and sometimes less, will
make pound of butter,-an equiva-
lent for q little over q pound OF fcheese,
which would OF course be very rich II
made from such milk. -F rl
As rule, we believe The proportion
of caseine diminishes as the proper
I ten of cream increases so that milk
very rich in cream is likely to be de-
| ficient Ia caseine. If we have the
weight in cream, we do not have II
in caseine; but 1t is nevertheless true
that milk may be rich in both butter
and cheese, or poor in boths in either
case having case having easeine In cor
responding proportions. 1t Is mani
| festly a great mistake to use milk ex-
cessively rich in cream for cheese-ma-
king; or thar which Is excessively
rich in casino for butter making.
While 1 believe it holds true that the
milk of COW noted FOR its large flow
may be rich in casino, it Is seldom rich
| in cream; and that a COW giving milk
very rich in cream seldom gives s
large quantity, which is rarely rich IN
caseine. The owners of dairies should
be careful, therefore, to note whether
/ their milk is rich in cream or easeine,
and decide accordingly whether Il
had better be used for making buttef
or cheese. It is Improbable to de,
vote cheese cows to butter making, os
butter cows to cheese making. - Vtieo

A just word for an Abused Nam.

The Nation does not think Mr..
Garfieldis defense of his action in
connection with the salary bill is en-
tirely satisfactory. But at the same
time it remarks that "be has not
shared personally in the plunder, and
he has too many years OF usefulness
and honor behind him, and has shown
himself on too many occasions one Of
the Congressman on whom the eye of
an American citizen can rest with
satisfaction, to be lightly laid on the
shelf by any constituency.
This is eminently fair. 1t has the
merit, which is too rare with our i'm
petuous American press, of making a
Just discrimination between q single
mistake and the general tenor of a
life. MI. Garfield opposed the in
crease Of salary and refused his back
pay. He may have made q mistake
in not carrying his opposition to the
point of seeking to defeat the whole
bill even at the risk of an extra ses-
sion. But that was a question upon
which there might fairly be a differ
ence of opinion; and even IL he did
make q mistake, it is not one or two
mistakes which can outweigh the
long and useful career of such man.
General Garfield has been in Con-
gress for many years. Among the
members of that body he has been
one of the most conspicuous not
merely for ability, but for his watch
full fidelity to the Interests of the peo-
pie and his opposition to corrupt and
extravagant jobs. There are few men
who have been so uniformly right
He has lattsrly been subject to much
criticism, but the Nation has express.
