MENINGITIs.-Thisd disease is, we r egret
to say, very prevalent in Hardeman
county. In almost every instance it has
bafilod medical Skill and to be attacked
by the disease is to succumb to its infu~
ence. We understand it has carried off
six or seven persons in v hiteville, while
in our more immediate neighborhood we
have been painfully reminded Of its pres
ence in our midst Care should be taken
to guard against exposure, more especial
ly by the young people, who appear to be
more liable to the disease than those of
mature growth.

A great controversy is just now waging
in England upon spiritualism, A no less
controversy is going on in the same
country as to whether or no the brutal
murderer of a woman in Great Coram
street will be caught by the police. The
Illustrated London Neacs clutches the
whole thing by asking the whole body OF
those who believe that they have access
to the spirit world whether any one of
them can tell the name of the Coram
street assassin "Let them rap that
out, and they shall exchange their pres
ent positiOn-that of mountebanks-for
that of priests of a new cultus"

themselves as saddlers, visited Toms

a telegram was received from Mr.. w. b.

requesting their arrest They we're, in
consequence, interviewed by Constable

was that they were forced to return to

understanding connected with the owner

Curious FACTs ABOUT WORDS Marsh
tells IL that the number Of English words
not yet obsolete, but found in good
authors, or in approved usage by correct
speakers, including the nomenclature of
science and the arts, does not probably
fall short Of one hundred thousand. 4
large portion Of these words, however, 10
not enter into the living speech, the com
mon language OF daily and burly thought.
Some celebrated English and American
authors have been able upon occasions to

this vast array OF words, although they

. .sr,r-ap,usrpx.. CURRENCY.

II is reported from WasLington-and the
report seems altogether ress"n-h'" - 'hst
Treasurer Spinner, it is r,a'"i, -.li recon-
mend in his annual report to Cougress the
issue of low gold-bearing interest bond,
convertible into greenbacks at call, and riee
rers1. His idea is TO provide in some meas
ure against the recurrence Of such str'n-
ceucy as we have been and are now suffer-
ing from, by making the currency more elas-
tic. Should Lis recommendation be adopted
in times of cheap and plentiful money, the
new bonds would be largely taken. and in Pc
riods of stringency they would be presented
at the Sub Treasure, throughout the coun-
try and converted into greenbacks. This
woa!d largely prevent the present looking
up game of .peculators, which has frequently
proved so disastrous to the best Interests OF
the country, and would further do away with
the absurd boarding Of greenbacks through
a lack of confidence in the banks and in the
soundness of business, or through the selfish
policy of banking institutions. 1t would
cau.e the Government to become national
bank on large scale, keeping accounts with
Whom.oevsr might choose to open them, and
presentine guarantees that could not fail to
beeet and maintain the most implicit conf
deuce. At its back would be all the resour-
ces of the country, practically illimitab'e,
putting doubt of its credit out Of the qnes-
ton; and 80 long a. q bond .as outstanding
there would never be wanting the greenbacks
with which 10 redeem il.

ROSS.

The St. Louis Republican defines its po-
elton upon the Senatorial question in K An
sas "a follows:
If the ne~ly triumphant opposition in
Kansas can rise to the occasion, and If 1t Is
capable Of being an instrument Of such
grand thing as poetic justice, Edmund q.
Ros will 70 back to redeem from disgr ace
the seat befouled by Caldwell. This il 3
gentleman who kept his hands clean when
infamy commanded high premium in Kan
sss. He is one Of the few who dared to do
right in the teeib Of insane prejudice anil Of
frenzied partisan-hip. Aud while the riot
of the thieves and the revel Of the bri''ers
and the bribed ran high, Ross was struggling
with the hard, merciiess poverty that was
his more than royal badge of honesty and
fearless devotion to law and right. A name
that is Inseperably linked with those Of Ly-
man Trnmbull and William Pitt Fessenden,
il one that Kansas is not rich enough in
pul ity to spare from her rolls Of honor.

The Commonwealth says: Lieut.. Govern
or Slower is in the city. A mysterious rumor
reaches us that he was married last week in
Boston to Mrs. J. Wayne, of Topeka.
Should the report be true, We presume some
newspaper will coon be saying that Mr.. So
vers senatorial prospects are row "on the
wane."
And that reminds us of this item, which
We also find in the Commonwealth: The chief
who presented the President with a scalp
would seem to differ with Mr.. Ralph Waldo
Emerson ae to the true theory of presents.
The Concord philosopher says that 'the
only gift is PIT of thyself." Therefore let
the poet give his poem, the sailor shell,
the miner gold and jewels" This Grow H.
dian holds di1erent-it is his opinion that
becoming gift is not psrt of himself, but part
Of another man. Who shall We believe,
Emerson, who is nothing, if not original, or
this red Grow, who is nothing if not aborigi-
