IT WASN'T HER HUSBAND, AFTER
L

ALL.
A story has gone the rounds Of litera-
~ gossip about an attached pair of
names not unknown to fame, who went
to board where people also went, who
were literary and Of good taste. The
lady, thinking that rs she and her hus-
band were all in all to each other, it was
as well they should remain so, desired Of
the hostess that there might he no intro
dnctions to other boarders, which was
observed. Various tender passages be-
tween the amiable pair on their way to
and from the dining-room edited the
family during the season. In time a
Boston man came to board, and ON his
way to the basement Mt dinner, going
down late, he heard a light laugh behind
him, and a figure not so light as the
laugh sprang on his shoulders and
claimed a ride down stairs. The Boston
man took things coolly, carried his bur-
den down stairs into the dining-room,
and shot her into a vacant seat at the
table. The lady looked up to find her
husband already there before her, and
every eye was turned to watch these ex-
tr~aordinary proceedings. There was
nothing to be done but to burst into
tears, which she did.-NeU York

THE recent parricide in new York, now
that the facts have been calmly put before
the world. discloses brutal and inhuman
murder. The grandson of Chancellor
Wolworth, known far and wide as the en-
bodiment of all the qualities ola Christian
and spotless, able jurist, leaves his home,
one hundred and fifty miles from New
York, with the deliberate intent to MUIR
der his own father. He sends for him, de-
liberately locks him in his room in the
hotel and there defenceless and unsuspect-
ing, after drawing from him every promise
exacted, he deliberately shoots him four or
five times and leaves him to die. This pic
ture is too horrible to contemplate. JUS

What Is Asiatic Cholera?

The New York Herald says: We have
before us communications from an intelli-
gent citizen, in which, after referring to
our late editorial mention of Raspail's
opinion that the Asiatic cholera is an
animalculse disease, our witness on the sub
ject says: "This theory of Raspail, l
think will ultimately prove correct. In
of the cholera in the West Indies, 1 found,
on examining microscopically the water
of the localities where the disease existed,
that it was impregnated with animalcule
foreign to the place, which disappeared
simultaneously with the disease. These
animalcule would die when placed in con-
tact with camphor, which seemed to be to
them deadly poison" This is strong cir
cumstantial evidence in support of Raspail,
and we are almost certain that thorough
microscopical investigation, not only of the
water in the localities affected, but of the
excavations of a sufferer from the pesti-
lence of the Ganges, would establish the
fact that the disease is caused, propagated
and diffused by animalcule. a
Should the cholera again visit our shores
our correspondent recommends the fol-
lowing preventive, and says that it will be
found of great value, as he has seen it sue
cessfully applied: "All water for drinking
purposes should be we'll boiled and kept
tightly covered; for it is in the water
where the greater number of animalculfe
are found. We should also carefully alb
stain from all liquids which have not been
thoroughly purified by fire. A judicious
use, internally, of a few drops of spirits of
camphor, daily, destroys the animalcule
as fast as they enter the system, thereby
arresting the disease" 1t will thus be seen
that our correspondent in the premises is
fully convinced that the animalcule theory
solves the mystery as to the real character
of this Asiatic pestilence; and the testi-
mony he has given us from his own Obser-
Vations upon the subject is entitled to the
special attention of scientific men i'll
Europe, who have the opportunity for the
full Investigation we have suggested.

Health of Merchants.

A writer in the Science of Health says,
mercantile life, on the whole, is not favor
able to health; not because there is any
thing uhwholesome in the business of buy
ing and selling, but because of the uncer-
tainty attending it. 1t has been stated
that nine-tenths of all the merchants who
have been eminently successful in acquir-
ing wealth, have failed one or more times.
But the few examples of colossal fortunes,
like the few prizes which are drawn in the
lotteries, are sufficient to cause constant
ruse into the business by the many,

If the reports concerning the extent OF
the cholera at Nashville prove true, there
will likely be some excitement throughout
the State. From what we publish else
where of the condition of the streets and
alleys of that city, it is not surprising that
they have cholera. But there is no need
for alarm in Knoxville. We believe our
streets are in fair order. A good rain will
wash off most of the filth from our streets,
and we have bad no lack Of rain this
spring. The Street Committee are already
at work to cleanse the alleys and by-ways,
and we believe our city is as favorably sit
uated to contend with the cholera, should
it visit this section, as any place in the
State.

OUR CHARGES AGAINST THE RURAL SUN.

The Rural Sun, of the 5th, is silent as to
our charges of the shameful fraud by
which the ten thousand dollars annually
paid by the people of the State, for the ben
eft of agriculture is absorbed in eXorbitant
salaries to the officers of the Agricultural
Bureau, all of whom we believe are con-
nected with the Sun, which salaries are
paid and allowed by authority of the Com :
missioners of Agriculture, two-thirds of
whom are stockholders of the Sun. These
grave charges are not noticed by the R,va
Sun. We take it as a confession that they
are true, and We, therefore, ask
the farmers of Tennessee, how they can
encourage such paper. Such bare-faced
extortion is outrageous, and the journal
that perpetrates it does not deserve the
countenance or support of honest citizens.
But, though the Rural Sun is silent,
Governor Brown, through his organ, con-
fesses the truth of the CHRONICLE charges,
and explains his position as follows. At
ter quoting our charges, the Union and
american says-the italics are our own:
The act of 1873 appropriates ten thou
sand dollars annually out of the treasury
to defray the expenses of the Bureau Gov.
Brown, we believe, is absent from the city,
but it is due to him to say that, hearing re-
Gently that the Agricultural Bureau had
voted what seemed to him erorbitd,at s6tZsr-'
ries in proportion to the amount appropri-
ated by the State, he at once communicated
with the officers of the, Board and request
ed an assembling of the Board, in order
that they might rectify any mistakes that
they had made in that particular. Gov.
Brown has nothing to do with the man
agement of the Rural San, and in subscrib
ing stock to establish that paper, did SO not
as pecuniary investment, but to aid in
what he believed would be an improving
enterprise for the agricultural portion of
our population. The charges which the
CHRoNICLE makes against the Bureau had
received the attention of the Governor be-
quite sure they will be thoroughly and
satisfactorily investigated.
We have no disposition to do, Gov.
Brown any injustice, and if he will handle

LIME VS.. ASHES FOR TREES.

Place a piece Of iron or steel in
damp ashes, and it will soon corrode
with rust. Place the iron or steel in
lime mortar, and it Will remain bright
and the rust will disappear. Sow
small grain where a brush pile or log
heap has been burned, or where a ibe-
raj dressing Of ashes has been applied,
and there Will be rank growth that
will probably fall and never mature
Sow the grain where lime has been APP
piled to the soil, and the grain viii
grow with stout, stiff straw, and plump,
hard heads that mature well.
Ashes cause a rank growth of the
herbaceous part of plants, such as
leaves, straw and grass; lime induces a
growth of the woody part Of plants,
and the grain or fruit. Ashes stimu
late heavy muck and rich or vigin
soils. They appear to disintegrate or
make available what is already in the
soil. They seem to act specially on
vegetable mold and manures from the
barnyard. Apply them to the
most offensive pile of compost,
and they will render it inodorous and
worthless as a fertilizer, their effect be-
ing that of releasing the ammonia from
the compost. Ashes used with a COM
post heap of decaying vegetables mat
ter would be wasted-worse than vast
ed-as they render the compostinert as
a fertilizer. Applied to an offensive
tink, sewer or cesspool, they serve an
excellent purpose as a disinfectant.
They promote the growth of grass and
forage especially, proving valuable on
low lands; Will stimulate trees, etc, to
a vigorous growth when the soil is
strong. They exhaust strong soils and
injure poor ones.
Lime improves poor soils, especially
sandy ones, by rending them more
compact and capable of retaining fer
tility when applied. AS promoter of
health and vigor in apple trees, it is one
of the best applications that can be
made to the soil. Under its influence
trees mature well, the fruit is finer, and
the trees are free from disease. Lime
may be applied with benefit ON most
soils and many plants, but is Of special
value to the apple tree and strawberry
plant, while ashes are valuable on
heavy or rich soils for the grosser feed
ing plants, such as our native plums
and curraut bushes.-Cor. Horticultur-

FALL MANAGEMENT OF LAMBS.

III. n. Russell, Jefferson county, Ohio,
writes the Germantown Telegraph: In
order to have lambs 90 into winter
quarters in good condition it is import
ant that they should receive proper at
tention in time. Not only should they
have good pastures to run on, but they
should be fed a small quantity of grain
ut least once a day. Oats orrye is pre-
ferable to corn; and if inclined to
scour, a little wheat bran is an excellent
thing to give them. A small portion
of salt should be put in their feed,
which will give them better relish for
it. By pursuing this course they will
grow very fast, and small, weak lambs
will become strong and thrifty, and
when winter sets in they will be so
trained to eat that it will be a pleasure
to tend them. They should be shelter
ed from the cold rains that very fire.
quently come during the fall months,
when little nice hay should be put in
to the racks for them to pick at.
As a general thing it is better to
have lambs in two fiocks, as the strong
ones will crowd the small ones out if
left together An old pasture field of
blue grass and timothy is better for
them to run on than meadows, as there
is inclination to scour. Clover pastures
should always be avoided l have
found from experience that it is much
easier taking lambs through the winter
that were well taken care Of immediate
ly after being separated from the ewes
than those that were left in a manner
to shift for themselves.
