in,y out Of hostilities, Joined his coun-
trvu,en Of the Confederate army
and distinguished himself for bravery
and chivallous bearing in every engage
ment in which he participated. AT first
he ioined the military branch of the
Confederate service, and rose rapidly
having been commissioned brigadier-
general and assigned the command OF
the stronghold of Arkansas Post. AT
ais 9 request he was transferred
20 the Confederate navy by
Secretary Mallory, and commanded the
gunboat Morgan at the time of the sur
render. Captain Fry was man Of
s,,lendid physique, being more than six
feet high, and skilled in the use of side
arufe. He was cool as he was brave,
amiable and gentle as he was courageous
and magnanimOus. Spain may disavow
his brutal murder, but she never can
atone for the crime. We must build his
monument on the soil of free Cuba,
when The flag of the United States waves
over Moro Castle, and ,the bloody stains
of Spanish tyranny are wiped out in the
distraction Of Spanish domination in

SANITARY.

In another column we publish, from
the board of health, call upon the citi-
zens to begin at once the work Of cleans
ing their premises, and putting all re-
fuse matter in barrels for removal by the
men to he employed for that purpose by
the board. This is a timely movement.
Anv person who now sees the streets,
alleys and backyards, and remembers
what they were under the boards di-
rections when the yellow-fever was at its
hight, will bear witness to the fact, that
they are filthy beyond comparison. A
reason for this state Of things is, that
the baard has, in vain, sought, through
the city authorities, to find the means Of
doing what is essential to the continued
good health of the city, and despairing,
in view of an empty treasury, and an
"emptier'' disposition by the city faith
ers, this appeal is made direct to the
people themselves, TO initiate what
should have been compelled by
the board at its meeting a week
since. We trust the citizens will care
fully read this notice from the board,
and that all will be prompt to obey it. If
not, and should the city council con-
tinue 20 disregard the public health by
continued failure to provide for the
cleansing and publication fthe eity,we
might rs well close our business houses
and confess our inability to make city
of Memphis. To this complexion has it
come st last.

THE LATE GENERAL HARuEE.

The soldiers who served in Arkansas
in 1861; those who served in Kentucky
in 1862; the soldiers of the army of the
Mississippi; the soldiers Of the army Of
Tennessee: the soldiers Of the depart
ment Of the Carolinas, and those who
composed the army which surrendered
to General Sherman in April, 1865, will
all feel a deep pang of sorrow 10 learn
that their brave commander, Lieutenant
General William J. Hardee, is dead.

military grade, from cadet to- heutenant-
general General Hardee's stNTvices I'D
the late war are too familiar to med 1e-
production here. Suffice it to say, -
commander of an army corps, either IN
camp, on the march, or in battle, he had
no peer on the western continent. 1t
was a common saying, that superior as
was Hsrdee as corps commander, he
was not qualified for an independent
command. Itis true, he declined the army
OF Tennessee, but the lack of confidence
in his ability, originated with himself.
That he would have commanded an
army with the same distinguished
efficiency with which he filed all other
positions to which he was assigned,
those VINO best knew General Hardee
will not for a moment doubt. He felt
that with thirty thousand or even forty
thousand men. he could not, when OPP
posed by Sherman with one hundred
thousand men, do all that was expected
q him by either the government or the
people, and he shrsnk from undertaking
that which his unerring judgment told
him could not be accomplished. His
course since the war, has been a model

following preamble and resolutions in regard
TO the death of the late ]. Joseph Williams
VI D., were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an all-wise Provi-
dence, in His lnscrutable wisdom, to remove
by death one of our members, ]. Joseph VII
ltams, NJ. D., who died Of yellow fever, near
Memphis, October, 1873; therefore, be 1t
ReSOlUed, That in his death this society has
sustained the loss of one of its most prOInis-
ing and highly esteemed members, whose re-
moyal, in the meridian of life and in the
hight of his usefulness, 1t cannot too deeply
deplQre.
Resolred, That the cause OF medical science
has reason to mourn the loss of one of its
brightest ornaments. He was a skillful ply
sician, finished scholar, a polished gentle
man, and a sincere and devoted christian.
Resolved, Tuat society will long feel the need
of that influence which his genial qualities OF
mind and heart ever shed upon IL. Wherever
he moved his spirit was benign and his pur-
pose fixed TO illustrate, by his actions, the
highest principles of philanthropy, virtue
and religion.
Resolred, That we offer TO his afflicted family
our tenderest sympathies and our profound
est regrets at his irreparable loss.

From the New Orleans Times Conservative.
THE sYMPATHIEs OF THE PEOPLE.
All the sympathies and interests of the
American people, regardless of race or
color, favor the cause in which the
Cubans have so long been engaged.
The reasons for a generous recognition
of Cuban efforts are so numerous, and
those in favor of a contrary policy so
few, that non-actioA on the part of our
national authorities can no longer be
assured Of even a taciI tolerance. If OuI
government and people take no steps to
put an end to the wholesale butchery OF
Cuban sympathiZers, they will be, in
consequence of their power and neaI
neighborhoOd, held by the public opin-
ion of the world as in some measure re-
sponsible for these barbarities. More
than this, they will stand self-condemned
if they permit patriotic effort for free
dom to end in subjugation and contin-
ued slavery.
NO EXPLANATIONS NEEDED.
From the New York Herald independently
We regard the course of Spain to-
ward the United States for a number OF
years past as insolent and Overbearing
to an objectionable degree. How far
we have provoked the treatment by our
own uncertain and timid policy we dc
not care to inquire. 1t is an unthank-
ful task to condemn the foreign policy
of our own government, and to accuse
our State department of want of pluck
and dignity. But we must insist that
ia this outrage OF the Virginius there is
no room for argument or excuse; that
the Spanish authorities at Santiago de
Cuba are self-condemned; that, what
ever may have been the character of the
| Virginius, the murder of four Of the per-
sons found on board was an insult toll
American flag, and as such must be full
/ ly atoned. But how? Not as Secreta-

REVOLVING CRIME.
Bruce Berry, of Hawkins County, Run
Down in Texas, and Taken Back
to Knoxville.
His Daughters Testimony as to The
Murder Of her MOther-Lust,
Incest, and Murder.

From the Knoxville Press and Herald.l
Deputy-Sheriff Blevins, of Hawkins
county, Tennessee, left Knoxville on
Monday last, en- route to Sherman, Tex
as, to bring back to Hawkins county the
murderer Berry, who, for killing his
wife last fall, had been incarcerated in
the Rogersville Jail, and had, together
with other prisoners, broken Jail in Feb
Tuary last and made good his escape. 1t
was learned not long since that the fugi-
tive had made his way to Texas, and was
living in the town of Sherman. a
requisitiOn was made by Governor
Brown some time ago on the governor
of Texas for Berry, and the governor
promptly issued warrant for his arrest,
and placed it in the hands of Jesse
BrowH, sheriff of Grayson county, Tex
as, who promptly arrested Berry at the
house of his brother, respectable citi-
gen of the county, and placed him in
Jail to await the arrival of the authori-
ties from Hawkins county, Tennessee.
The circumstances of this murder
are so horrible that it is to
be hoped that the full measure
of punishment will be visited upon
the murderer. Berry, who lived a few
miles from Bells Gap, had married a
second wife, having several grown
daughters by former marriage. He
was known frequently to beat and abuse
his wife, sometimes driving her from
home for several days at time. In
November, 1872, he and his daughters
left home suddenly, and, as nothing was
seen of Mrs. Berry, the suspicious of the
neighbors were aroused, and after brief
search her remains were found in a
thicket, with slight covering OF earth
over them, with the back of her head
beat in and a bullet-hole through her
stomach. The Berrys were followed
and captured, and one of the daughters
turned States evidence, and gave the
following sickening details of the
murder: 'Mrs. Berry left the house
to go to the wood-pile, q little
before daylight, when ber hus-
band followed her and struck her ter
rible blow with sn ak on the back OF
her head, telling her at once to the
earth. To make his fiendish act doubly
sure, he then shot her with his pistol
through the stomach. 1t being now
about daylight, he carried her to an old
stable and covered her with shucks and
straw. Mrs. Berry continued 10 live in
/ this terrible condition till the next eve-
ming, when death put an end to her suf-
ferings. Under cover of the night, Ber-
ry, after removing every particle oi
clothing from the body, buried ii as
above stated" Berry's motive for this
revolving act is said to have been the re-
moval of witness to his ineestuous in
tercourse with one of his own daughters.
