How Memphis Looks.

Some parts of the city are nearly alb
solutely abandoned, You can walk
square after square, day and night,
without finding soul to talk to,
without finding an open door, or seeing
light or any other signs of life.
Death and fright have carried or driven
the people all away. An owner of
property in what is called the "infected
district" directed his agent, as a matter
of charity, not to call on his tenants for
pay on the usual day, and sometime af-
ter, when going through the neighbor.
hood, it was found that all his houses
were empty. Those who had not been
taken by the plague had been driven off
by terror. Business is at a perfect
standstill, when, had it not been for
theepiiemic, Memphis would now be in
the flush of trade and commercial &C.
tivity. A large proportion of the pri-
vate residences are closed, giving those
funereal appearance whichever have
had no such sad oecaion of mourning
within their walls. Most of them,
however, are associated in the minds OF
the citizens with scenes of disease and
death. Very few ladies are met on the
streets, save those wearing the badge Of
some charitable society, or the weeds
of mourning, The street cars are never
crowded, generally having but one OF
two passengers, and are scarcely more
numerous than hearses. Theaters, Of
course, are all closed, and so, too, are
more than two-thirds of the bar-rooms.

Here we see heavy decline in the
gross wheat receipts from Russia dur
ing the first nine months of the present
as compared with the corresponding
perio IS in the two preceding years. At
the same time there is corresponding
increase in the supplies from the United
States. There is this year decrease
in round numbers OF 100000 cwts. of
wheat from Russia, and an increase of
no less than 100000 cwts. in the i'm
ports from the United States. The
falling off in Russian supplies is of
course result of the failure of the
wheat harvest in southern Russia, upon
which western Europe is so largely de-
pendent.

Worcester, Massachusetts,, is a
nice, moral, orderly, pious town, but its
nicely, morality, order and piety com

married couples of that place from ask

the divorces were granted on account Of

The BRIGHT SDE.-Look ON the
bright side; it is the right side. The
times may be hard, but it will make
them no easier to wear a gloomy and
sad countenance. 1t is the sunshine,
not the cloud, that makes the flower,
Troubles gives sinew and tone to life,
fortitude and courage to man. That
would be a dull sea and thesailor would
never get skill where there was nothing
to disturb the surface of the ocean.
What, though things look little darkP
the lane will turn; and night will end
in broad day. There is more virtue in
one sunbeam than in a whole hemis-
phere of clouds and gloom.

We have told our readers that Gen. Candy was
murdered for pelf, that the persistent folly with
which the Modocs were begged to accept n peace
which they could not understand and coBtemncd
was due TO the cOvetOus unTightcOusncss OF the
power behind the peace rings, and that this folly
was the direct cause of the devoted Canby's as
sassination. Why were the peace negotiations
thrust so peTsistcnty at Capt. Jack and his banor
Look al the fourth and nfth articles of the treaty

vlded for certain annual instalments of $1,000
each, "to be applied under the direction of the
President" OF these there were at the breaking
out of the war $20,O 600 still TO be Distributed

he intends to remove TO Arizona with the rest OF

in the reply says that if the MOrmOns about to
leave Utah he has net yet learned Of it, and that
the settlement south of St. George in Arizona, is
being formed just as all the other Mormon settle-
ments have been formed in Idaho, Nevada and
Arizona. Brigham Young may probably go there
for the winter for his health, and this will be
aboHt the extent of the great Mormon "exodons." "
As to the Morraons, he says they expect to remain
in Utah and there 70 work out their destinies-
