CHOLERAAT CLsRKSYILLE

We understand that it is still circulated
through the country that we are having
fifteen or twenty deaths per day from chol-
era. This is false. We take extra pains 10
ind out all We can in reference to the sick
ness and deaths in our CITY, and endeavor
to give the facts in the case. Our country
readers may rely upon the statements We
give them. 1t is true there may be some
deaths that we fail TO report, but we give
an accurate report of all that we hear of.
One Of our physicians reports the death
of negro woman this week, near the gas
works, who was the grandmother of the
woman who died on the End nit. This last
case is pronounced unmist2kable cholera.
The negroes used well water.
Melina Taylor, colored, died in this city,
on the Sth inst. The physician in attend
ance pronounce / her disease genuine chol-
era. The disease was superinduced by US
ing improper died to excess.
Mr.. John Kelly, an Irish gentleman who
kept saloon opposite the market-house,
died on the oh inst. This case too, is pro-
nounCed cholera, but as in sill other cases
that have occurred here, was superin duced
by imprudence.
Another death, that Of George Hall, col
ored, occurred last Wednesday evening.
This case is also pronounced genuine chol-
era. We are informed that he ate a large
mess of snap beans the Gay before bis
death.
We hear of no new cases at Erin or Pal

A DRUGGISTS MISTAKE.
Poisoning Of DIR. McROberfs and VIM.
Embry, of Stanford, Hy.-A Fatal
Dose Of QUinine.

Dose of 4Uinine.
iwo poisoning cases have occurred dur.
ing this week in Stanford, town in BOYLE
county, in this State, on the Knoxville
branch Of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, which were seemingly caused by
the csrelessness Of some wholesals drug
gist.
DR.. George McRoberts, not feeling well
after riding all night visiting patients, went
early Wednesday morning TO a drug store
in that village aud took a dose from bot
tie marked "Quinine" standing on a shelf,
He then went to his brothers house to
breakfast, but was taken violently sick on
arriving at the house. He asked for an
emetic, aUd shortly after taking it he died,
The physician who was with him thought
he died ofneuralgia Of the heart, as he was
in delicate health.
The next day, while the funeral was pass
ing out of town, William Embry, boy Of
a1out eight yearS of age, died suddenly,
after taking some quinine out of the bottle
from which DR.. ,mcRoberts procured lis
dose. This was the last bottle of quinine
remaining in the store.
The death of young E nbry excited the
suspicious of the friends of DR.. McROberts
as TO the cause Of his death. Mr. Oliver
McROberts sent to Louisville by Drs. Bal
ley and Payton, the bottle and one Of the
powders given TO Embry, that the drug
may be analysed by some chemist of this
city. q ainine and strychnine resemble
each other in appearance and taste, and it
is thought that tre latter drug was put into
the quiniDe bottle by mistake for the former
by the druggists who sold The bottle.
Dr.. MCROberts was a bachelor about
forty years of age. He had large number
of friends in and about Stanford, where has
been pcacticing for twenty years.-Louis.

THE BORDER TROUBLES.
A Card from Consul Taylor.

a
MILWAUKEE, July ia Minneapoli:
special to the Daily Wisconsin, says; Dur.
ing the proceedings in the Gordon case at
Fort CAREY, yesterday, the legal papers in
the possession of Capt, Hay were submitted
to the court, whereupoD the legal point up
on which the authority to arrest GordoE
depended being exposed, there was
ADecided Reaction
in public opinion among the Monitabans'
Immediately after the introduction of the
paper, United States Consul Taylor issued
a card to the public, the substance of which
is as follows: Gordon was arrested in New
York for ENLIGHTENMENT; Roberts released
him from prison on bail of $4,000.
Gordon Fled the Country
and took residence near Fort Carey; his
Whereabouts being discovered, Roberts pro-
cured bail. The arrest was made to release
Roberts from his bond, and by common
law, the bailee has right TO take the prin-
cipal whenever and wherever found, trea-
ties and extradition laws not being applica-
BILE to the case. The common law exists in
Monataba
Uncontrolled by Statutes.
Following this exposition, the consul de-
c!ares the gravity of the question involved,
as well as The sterest of both countries, r.
quire that all the testimony which the de-
fence prepared to show, should be admit
ted, and that, as an act of international
courtesy, Mr.. Wilson should be heard dur
ing the examination. Other advices state
that the invesgition has brought out the
fact that the American prisoners were ar
rested south of the new boundary lire, on
American coil. This will work
New Complications,
although it cannot be yet surmised just
what effect this discovery will have On 1u-
ture proceedings.

KNOX COUNTY.

We are exceedingly gratided to be en-
abled to state TO our readers that the tax
list of the LIST district, comprising the city
of Knoxville, will sum up over S4,250,000,
an increase over last years assessment of
over S1,000,000. Whether this prosperous
condition is due to the materi,l thrift of
our wide-awake citizens, or has been
brought about by the much abused new tax
law, we are not prepared TO state; I'M
doubtedly it is the result of both causes
combined. Counting the $1,000 exemp-
ton on personal property and the deduc-
ton Of Is per cent. on real estate, besides
the not iGconsiderable amount of property
inaccessible to our efficient assessor, we
may safely estimate the wealth Of our city
to exceed 100000, exclusive of The stocks
of merchandise contained in the numerous
stores and warehouses in the city.-KnOT-

CLERGYMEN'S LIVES.
Preaching Conducive TO Longevity

Preaching Conducive to Longevity,
From the New York Methodist,
The fscj, so often asserted, of the lon
gevity Of clergymen, has received a fresh
demonstration. Professor Tuttle Of Wa
bash College, Indiana, has made an examin-
alton of the ages Of 2, 442 ministers whose
lives are noticed in "Sprague's Annals" and
other records. Their total Of years was
14S,970, their average age little over sixty
one years. Only fifty-two Of the whole
number died under forty. "One out OF
every seven of the whole number was
eishty-one years old or upward at death.
Between one-third and ope-half Of the
whole were seventy years or upward at
death. Considerable more than one-half
death. Three-fourths Of the whole
we're over fifty years of age at
death. Seyen-eighth3 of the whole were
over 40 years of age at death" As TO the
several churches, there is difference. The
Orthodox CongregatiOn1list ministers show
an average of 65 years, the Baptists Of ga,
the Presbyterians of 81, Episcopaliaus Of
SO. No conditions were more favorable to
long life than those under which the min
listers of New E. gland lived in the olden
time. Their settlements were often for
life, their incomes, if narrow, were assured;
their studies and labors were free from anxi
ETY. aud vexstion. The m dern ministers
who will best compare with them are the
Weslayans, of England. The Wesleyan
system provides so thoroughly aud 50 inn
partially for the wants of ali its ministers
that they are without serious cares. As a
consequence, they are noted for the great
ace which many of them attain.
This longevity is but part Of the general
effect of Christianity, for Christianity, as
organized in civilization, has increased the
average duration of human existence
Where Christian faith prevails there are
fewer suicides, there is less excess, aud a
greater patience in bearing the ills to
which flesh is heir. Clergymen are but
examples of what the Christian religion
will do Tor human life under favorable coz
ditions.

There is consolation to some persons in
the thought that others are in worse con-
dition than they are, and for such we ex-
tract these brief statistics from the Boston
Journal in reference to heat:
In Thibet the summer temperature is a
maximum $50 degrees. In Senegal and in
the West Indian Island of Guadalupe, the
summer temperature often reaches $50 de-
grees-which is the utmost that Europeans
are called upon to encounter. 1t is enough,
however. In Persia the thermometer
rises to 125; which justities the
Shah in absenting himself for one summer.
At Calcutta there is frequent heat 12O
degrees; which is about the limit in Cen
trail America. In the deserts OF Africa,
which have had an undeserved reputation q,
the maximum is 10 deg 'ees, the same that
is reached in the inland valleys of Califor-
mia. The maximum for Utah Is 10,
Greece 104, Arabia 103-Montreal, curious
ly enough, being the same-New York lO2,
the other Northern Ststes o.. For glance
at the other side we have Nova Zembla,
which has an extreme midsummer heat OF
81 degrees-the refrigerator OF the nations

Three stores have been opened to-day, or
rather two stores and one family grocery.
We now have strong hopes of seeing the
