TIE latest reports concerning the move
ment of cholera in Europe offer grounds
for belief that it may not find its way across
the ocean this year. In Central Europe it
has been confined TO the north and eastern
provinces of the Austrian Empire. In Feb
rusry it existed to a greater or less extent
in Gallicis, Slesia, Hungary, Moravia and
Bohemia. The latest news, however, indi-
cltes very considerable dimiDntion in the
number of cases. Tbs Turkish Govern
ment has made a suggestion thst a Sanitary
Commission be appointed, to consist of del
egates from the European powers, Persia,
ard the Porte, to investigate the internal
sanitary condition of Persia and the fire.
quently recurring epidemics in that coun-
try. Mos of the European powers have
received the sugge stion with favor, and we
believe the Commission has been already
organized, and is composed of men compe-
tent to grapple with the difficult question.

aWEDDING DISTURBANCE.

At a Milwaukee wedding recently,
startling episode occurred in connection
with the marriage of Mr.. L. B. Gregg, a
worthy business man, and Mss Augustus
Sherman, daughter Of Mr.. James 2. Sher-
man, wealthy private banker. MIR. j. Z.
Sherman, a brother Of the lady, remon-
strsted against the bans, and his parents,
refusing to listen to him, he became VIC
lent and made threats. When the wedding
party arrived at the residence of the elder
Sherman, the young man rushed to his
room. Mr.. Sherman, the elder, and his
son. in-law, Levi Blossom. followed the
young man quickly, and found him armed
with a loaded shotgun, which be leveled
at his father. As he pulled the trigger,
Mr.. Blossom threw up the barrel OF the
gun and the murderous charge shattered
a mirror in the room. Young Sherman
then procured a revolver, but before he
could make use Of it, he was bound hand
aud foot and conveyed to the county jail,
The marriage ceremony was then performed
without further molestation. ~.

ARarbarous Murder.

CHICAGO, April 22-A shocking murder
was committed last night at 503 west
Madison street. VIM. Brown, colored
barber, came home and found one of bis
employees, Jesse Jones, also colored, visit
inc his wife who was sick in bed. Brown,

of Jones, and at oBce became violently en-
RACED and finally seized heavy skillet, at
tackled Jones and beat him in terrible
manner over the bead, before the noise OF
the ARRAY attracted the attention OF the
men at work in the shop which adjoined
Browns apartment. Jones was taken away
and a physician called to attend him, but
the unfortunate man never recovered con-
sciousness and died early this morning.
The matter was then for the first time
brought to the notice of the police and
Brown was arrested and put in jail.

to that journal from Norfolk: SIN all my

TAXES.
From the Trenton Gazette.

FROM the lEcnlOn OaL6Ilc'
If Tennesseeans are characterized by one
popularity above another, it is hatred to
tax-paying. Having never been oppressed
by such burdens they now vince and shrug
their shoulders when the tax-gstherer COM
pels them to loose the strings of their pleth-
oric purses to aid in the payment of the
State Gebt, to educate the masses or defrsy
the expenses CT the S ate Government. The
rate of taxation is less in Tennessee than in
most of the States. In Illinois the rate OF
taxation is four and five -tenths per cent.
In Pennsylvania it is one and eight-tenths.
In Iowa it is two AMI nine -tenths. In Mis-
souri, it is two and fye-teBfhs. In Tennes-
ssee it is very little over one percent. on an
average over the State, intending State,
county and city taxation, though in some
particular localities it is higher than this.
The average in nearly all the States is much
greater than in Tennessee, and in some it is
Two and three times as much.

two or three hours, until the symptoms are
overcome. Follow each dose Of quinine
With a heroic dose of bromide of potassium
combined in solution with an ordinary dose
of solid extract Hyoscyamus. The object
of the bromide is TO control reflex action,

APROPHECY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ATLANTIC.

The Boston Times relates the following
incident of the lost Atlantic: "When about
mid-ocean 8 curious incident occurred, which
if true, as related to our reporter, is very
unaccountable. The Storage passengers
say that at about that point on tie voyage
two or three of the passengers declared, as
if gifted with the spirit of prophecy, that
the ship and all on board would be lost.
They kept repeating the prediction, packed
their carpet bags and went on deck to watch
for chance passing vessels, saying that they
were going to leave her, as they were sure
she was doomed to destruction. The cap
tain then interviewed and locked .hem up as
madmen, and when the prediction they had
made in their supposed insanity received its
fearful fulfllment, they, it is said, persisted
in confinement"

Growth and Prospects of Erin.
To the Union and American:
ERIN, Houston COUNTY, TENN, April
II, 1S73.-Erin is little town situated on
the Louisville, Memphis and Clarksville
Railroad, 81 miles west of GAINESVILLE, IL
miles east Of Arlington, tire county seat OF
this county. Erin began to be little VII
lage four years ago; it now has about 400
inhabitants. Ten families have been added
to it since the first of last January. 1t has
hotel now under the proprietorship OF
Armstrong & Bissett, which was erected at
a cost of $4,000, while S., 800 was paid for
It's furniture. 1t has forty rooms
and seems to be kept in superb
style. Another large boarding house IS
rapidly going up oDly few rods from the
Central hotel. Here there is great deal OF
railroad business done, there are a great
number of side tracks, two turn tables and
a round house is in course of erection and
should not doubt if there is asmuch railroad
business done right here as there is on this
road anywhere this side OF Louisville or
Memphis. Erin will surely be the county
site of Houston county ultimately. 1t has
one drug and fine dry goods stores, one or
two family groceries, three blacksmith shop,
postoffice, express and telegraph offices and
several other business houses, one good
school and large number OF intelligent,
cever citizens.
At Arlington, the county seat, Circuit
Court was held last week, closing on Thurs
day. In the case Of the State against Bat
teau and Dickson nOLle prcsequi was en-
rered, thu above named gentlemen being
taxed with the costs. In the case of Mara
BILE against the Railroad Company for
damages to a fine mare, a judgment Oh 500
was found for the plaintiff.
By sor1e means Mr.. Hol Seals, OF Dick
son county, charged with the murder OF
James Jones of that county, and since
Charlotte Court, lying in Jail at that place,
falling to give q bond Of $4,000, got
change of venue and had a new committing
trial at Arlington. His bond was reduced
to $500 and be returned to Charlotte.
On las Saturday evening, Mrs. Margaret
A. Ellis, widow of the lamented DR.. L. w.
Ellis, died on Yellow Creek in this county.
Mrs. Ellis was an intelligent and highly ed
ucated lady, so very able and perfectly will
ling to befriend the poor and needy That
your correspondent has been forced to the
belief that one combining all the excellences
of character which she possessed is seldom
to be found.
Mr.. Robert Boon, very excellent young
man, also died near Erin ten days since.
The recent storm blew down the shelter
at Wells Creek camp ground. The people
in the vicinity of McKendree church, on
Grice's Greek, have recently built a very
lar e shelter at that church, locking to q
camp meeting in the summer. =,
Several nights past have been very cold
