AFFLICTIoNs OF MEMPHIS.-The list
of the sufferings of Memphis during the
current year is very extraordinary and
saddening. First, comemrce by river
was impossible on account of ice for two
months. Next, as soon as the river was
navigable the epizootic prevailed to
such an extent that there were no horses
to haul freight to the steamers-a fact
which absolutely paralyzed trade and
industry. The third calamity was the
smallpox, which so frightened people
in other cities that Memphis was left in
want not only of necessary aid and at
tention, but of food. Fourth came the
indigenous" cholera, whose ravages
among an already disheartened popula-
Iation were as severe as those of the
smallpox. The cholera had not fairly
run its course when the yellow fever
made its appearance as the fifth, and by
far the most terrible scourge, within ten
months. Yesterday, the telegraph tells
us, the streets of the city were almost en-

of burial has been shorn Of its solemn
formality, and to meet the demands for
the removal of the dead undertakers are
required to move with celerity more be-
coming merchandise transports in the
midst Of the busiest season. Occasion

The Northheat nisastar

The details of the terrible disas-
ter to the ship Northfeet, are pub.
lished, from which it appears that
at half-past ten at night, the Cap.
tain and others were alarmed by a
cry from the officer of the watch.
A steamer ran into US. The Captain
and pilot rushed on deck but before
they got there, the steamer had run
into the vessel, striking her amid
ships, and cutting her below the
water mark. The carpenter quickly
reported her half full of water. The
pumps were started promptly and
the crew worked hard at them for
some minutes, but when it was
found the water was rapidly gaining
panic seemed to seize both the
crew and passengers, and the officers
could not keep the latter in check.
A crowd of men and women had
rushed up from their berths. Many
only had half their clothing on.
The passengers had mostly retired,
but a few were undressing. The
noise of the collision is likened by
one of them, to a peal of thunder,
and such was the violence of the
shock that those standing were
knocked down. 1t appears that the
steamer rebounded and came sec
ond time in collision with the North
feet. The water began to pour in,
and in a very short time the passen-
gers quarters were swamped. The
women were slower to rush on deck
than the men, and many were not in
a condition to go till the water run
threateningly around them. No one
on board the steamer was heard to
speak, although the loud and eager
shouts from the Northfleet must
have made her crew aware Of the
terrible danger that existed. She
backed for two or three minutes and
then streaming rapidly away was
soon out Of sight.
For half an hour the scene on
deck Of the Northfeet was appalling.
The women shrieked, the men ours
ed and swore and fought their way
toward the boats, whilst the captain
and first mate roared out commands
to the men to keep back and allow
the women to get to the side of the
vessel, but apparently without sue
cess. Rockets we're fired and blue
lights burned. A gun was loaded
but the screw of the ramrod became
detached from the handle, and the
piece could not be discharged. The
signals of distress were seen by sew

In 1924, those officers who were
invited to dine with the archduke OF
Austria were instructed by a circu-
lar of the royal chamberlain how to
conduct themselves at the table.
lst. They were directed to come
neatly dressed in coats and boots,
and not enter in half drunken con-
dition.
I'd. At the table they were not
to tilt their chairs, nor rock them
selves, nor stretch their legs at full
length.
Sd. Nor drink after each mouth
ful, for if they do they would get
tipsy too soon; nor empty their COB
lets to the extent Of more than one
half after each dish; and before
drinking therefrom they should wipe
their mouths and moustaches in 3
cleanly manner.
4th. Neither are they to thrust
their hands into dishes, or throw
bones under the table.
9th. Nor lick their fingers nor
expectorate in their plates, nor
wipe their noses on the table-eloth.
9th. Nor to fall from their chairs
and make themselves incapable Of
walking straight.
