Memory leads me back to the play ground of

made most joyous by thy gentle presence, for
none so loved as thou. Nature bid an Angelo
to fashion and chisel thy form, and now, scarce
finished, thou lest another Psyche, embraced
by thy mother Earth; yet Love and Friendship
cannot return thee, as the pick and spade Of old
unearthed that peerless marble.
They sent thee to the hall Of Minerva and the
Muses., and hardly hadst thou heard the joyous
welcome of the "dearest spot on earth" to thee,
than thou vert called to thine eternal home.
Thou vast thy mothers rose, Frankie, whose
fragrant beauty fell like balm upon troubled
soul, and around which brother, sister and
friend twined love irresistible

the disease made its appearance there,

Monday says:
We are glad to be able to announce more
quiet in the minds Of our citizens this morn
ing than at any previous day for the past
week. At this writing, a. M, after careful
irquiriDg, we can hear of no new case OF
cholera since yesterday afternoon. This in

has had the happy effect Of rousiug the
hopes of our people that the epidemic has
done its worst, that thu long weeks of ter

His Honor, Judge Guild, was promptly
on hand to open Circuit Court, this morn
ing, but no suitors, or jurors, and but few
members of the bar appearing, he adjourn

PRESIDENT hIaeAIAHON.

The MacMahons are descended from Bri-
an Boru, who was King of Ireland in 1014,
and acquired great renown as Tire conquer
or of the Danes, over whom he gained q
decisive victory at Clontarf. The French
MacMahoDs are descended from the two
brothers Maurice and John, who settled in
France in the year 1850, the first of whom
shared the fortunes of Prince Edward in
Scotland, served in the Spanish army, and
afterwards was made captain in the French
service; the second was created Marquis
d Equity, and admitted 10 the estate of
Burgundy. The MacMahons were fight
ing race, and their names frequently
occnr in the French military annals,
sharing in the disasters as well as the
glores which attended the French arms.
At Waterloo one Of them behaved with
great gallantry. The battle was lost, but
it was necessary to make desperate effort
to cover the retI eat of the shattered army.
"Charge-keep charging, boysr' said Mac
Mahon to the Third Cuirsssiers. "Mar-
shal," said the Colonel, tive are so cut up it
is certain death for US to charge; you know
it." embrace me, my friend" was Mac
Mshop's only reply, and then the two gal
liant soldiers led forward the regiment
which made those three terrible charges
that are recorded among the great deeds of
the French army. Only one hundred and
nine men of its number remained, aud OF
these all but eight we're woun ed.

LAST SLAVE SALE OF NEW Jersey

The Vest Jersey Press has this bit of
local history with reference to Gloucester
cou lty:
A few days ago We listened to the recital
of the circumstances attending probably the
last sale ofslaves that took place in Glcuces-
ter county, nearly 60 years ago. A free col
ored man became epamored of coloTed
girl, a slave, belonging to family in that
county, and desired to marry her, but as
the law would not permit the marriage, he
determined 10 buy her. He applied to the
owner, who agreed to sell her to him for
half crown. The money WAS never paid,
however, but this fact was not developed
until years after, when, by an accident
which befel daughter by this marriage,
she became charge upon the county.
This took place within few months after
the death of the owner ofthe girls mother,
and the executors Of the estate sought
counsel in the premises, and were told, in
advertising the personal effects of the de-
ceased, to conclude with these words:
"Together with ali the personal property of
said deceased" This was done, and at the
sale, which took place in the year 1916, she
father of the girl bought bis wife and four
children for forty cents. The descendants
of this family are now living in Salem
cOQptV.

WHY Is sARATosA Saratoga

There is a secret fascination in Saratoga,
as is shown By the thousands who rush
hither every season, in spite of the absence
Of any visible inducing cause. 1t is not the
waters, for few women, and no men, drink
them after the first week. 1t is not the
drives, for after you have gone to the lake
and returned you have exhausted the driv-
ing sensation. It is not Broadway, for
Broadway is as bot, lonely and monotonous
a street as can be found even by dilgent
searching. 1t is not the society, for that is
miscellaneous and often uncertain. 1t can
not be gambling, for, if human testimony
can be believed, everybody you meet ex-
presses an aversion to the vice. What is it
then? Is it the men and women? 1t must
be they. If not the at'ractors they are GER
tainly the aettracted. None of them seem
to know exactly why they come; Tut the
cause of their comm is the coming of 9th
ers. They are aware that Saratoga is pop
ulsr, and they aid to swell its popularity.
They are sure of crowd there at the
height of the season, and the average man
and women are drawn to a crowd simply
because it is a crowd. Saratoga has been a
cenhe Of folly and extravaganza, ostenta-
ton and clothes, for great many years,
and is likely as such in the future even TO
deepen and expand.

"a German Remedy"

munication headed "a German Remedy"
which reflects urjustly upon our city
druggis s--who, SO far as the writer is
aware o, have by their acts of charity aud

during the present epidemic. He further
asserts, that the "Etherial TinctuIe of Va

suited "Griffith's Universal Formulary," a
book to be found in the library of every

universal endorsement of both professions
for the last tl0epty gears, be would find on
page 463, formula for "Etherisl Tincture

JUNE 23.-Jaek Slaughter, (col.) cholera.
al of these cases of cholera were direct
ly caused by imprudence in diet, and neg

cases of choleraic diarrhea yeste: day and

WHAT a CITIZEN THINKS OF TT

from the IazeWell spectator.
No law is more abused than the last
assessment law Of the State; before the
m citing of the Legislature that made the
law, the press, the people, and the publ C
officers, were all calling for law to compel
every taxpayer to pay his pioportionable
part of the public taxes; and we all know
that under the old law there was no uni
formity in assessing the property liable for
taxes, and that the shirkers always managed
to get their property assessed at from one
fourth to one tenth of its real value; but,
thanks TO the new assessment law, if they
get it done now, they will have to do it by
base and wilful swearing. The law itself,
in our humble opinion, is just, and, if exc
cuted according 20 its own provisions, will
raise our public credit to a respectable
standard, and do it without incre sing the
rate CT taxation or ipjuring any of our
citizens, as the rate of taxation by this law
is no higher than for last year, and not so
high as former years. 1t is not claimed that
the law is perfect in all its parts; but it is
claimed that it is a great improvement on
the old system of assessing property, for
what we want is uniformity-thst every
citizen should Fay lis proportional part,
and that seems to be the very object of
the law as it now stands. TAXPAYER.

Preparing for the seourge.

An extra from the Fayetteville Express
Monday last, contains the following:
although the cholera has not yet INSIDE
its appearance in Fayetteville, our citizens,
in view of the fact that the town has rarely
ever escaped its visitations in the past, have
adopted the precaution OF dispensing and
seeking temporary homes in the country, as
the safest and surest method of avering its
ravages. The town is now almost depleted
Of its population, and if the prevailing
sickness resches here 1t will have but little
material to operate upon. Business is
virtually suspended, dwellings are closed,
o. localities lately busting with life are
now hushed in solemn silence"
The extra also makes the further an
nouncement, that the Express will be sus-
pended until the alarm and excitement have
subsidized.

Liberal Contributions.

The Robertson Association yester day APP
pointed committee composed of Felix De-
poville, r. B. Chestham and Capt. J. M.
Smith to solicit provisions for the destitute
sick in The city. These gentlemen started
out at once TO perform the dutie, ass gned
them, and in a remarkably short splce of
time succeeded in getting large amount of
bacon, rics, meal, -four and such other srti-
cles as were necessary. Not wishing to
neglect the dry goods merchants on the
Square, they also waited on them, and OBJ
tanned 3 sufficient amount Of sheeting, ETC.,
TO distribute around where needed. The
Robertson Association is now thor
oughly organized, and for several days
past have been doing noble work. We think
it is safe TO say that there is MOI family in
the city, either white or black, where sick
ness prevails, that IS not receiving every at
tention necessary. We feel proud in being
able TO put on record the fact that netwith-
standing the dreadful scourge that has been
with us for the past three weeks, and suffi-
Gent 10 itself to unneTve any community,
the people Of Nashville who are able TO do,
have lost none of that Christian philsnthro-
py for which they have so long been noted.
1t is a consolation in these times Of sorrow
and affection to know that the hand of gen.
uine anc unseltish charity is visible through
the gloom that las lowered around and
about us. May the noble work that they
are engaged in meet with that reward which
always attends the good and true.

A Nashville vocalist out west.

ADtnver Colorado exchange thus notices
the arrival of Miss Julia Palmer of this city:
Among the recent arrivals, we are pleas
ed to mole that of Miss Julia Palmer, of
Nashville, Tennessee, accompanied by her
mother. Though still very young, Miss
Palmer has achieved most envitable rep
utation as a vocalist, and her proficiency
has received the highest encomiums, not
only from the press, but also from such
judges as Strakoscb, Ole Bull, the PATHS,
and others of the most prominent masters
and primd dornGs who have appeared be-
fore an American public. There is COM
bination of melody and compass in her
voice which is really wonderful for one who
is yet in her girlhOod, and which is said,
by those best qualified to judge, to be I'M
surpassed by one of her age. She visits
Colorado for the benefit other health, and
will probably make protrscted stay in Den
yer. Our citizens will sooD have an oppo-
tunity of hearing Miss Palmer, as we learn
that she has consented to sing at the Sum
day school anniversary which take place at
the Southern Methodist church, tomorrow
evening, and also at the grand concert al
the BAPTIST church, Friday evening.

KIDNAPPING AT CASTLE GARDEN

FROM the Troy frtSs, June H. /.
There is something rotten in and around
Castle Garden, New York. About four
weeks ago we noticed the case of young
girl who had just landet from the old
country, who was spirited away mysteri
ously, snd her friends have not yet learned
her whereabouts. And now we have an
other similar case to report. On the 9th
of last month Sarah Kelly, aged twenty
years, landed from Ireland with her brother.
At Castle Garden, woman, who gave her
name as Mrs. O'Sullivau, and said she re-
sided at No. 14l Second street, New York,
engaged the girl to work out at service.
The brother came on to this city, where
be has brother aud sister residing. The
two brothers have since been to New York
in quest of their sister, aud are unable to
learn any tidings of her. At the above
number they called, and were shown two
girls who, it is stated, were the only ones
on the premises. Can it be that the Com
missiOners of Emigration are allowing the
keepers Of observation-disclosures to inveigle
innocent girls arriving from the cid country
into their dens? 1t looks very much like
it, to say the least.
