CESARISM


Our excellent neighbor, the Avalanche,
following the example of the New York
Herald, expresses fears lest some one in
this country shall play the role Of Cesar,
don the robes ofimperialism, and declare
this once free country an empire Why
the Avalanche, which is helping the
thing along from time to time, should
feel nervous about the matter we cannot
conceive. In other words, there is but
one party, to.wit: the dominant or Rad
zeal party, from whom a Caesar can
spring; and inasmuch as the Avalanche
has Of late years had nothing but words
of abuse and ridicule for those who op-
posed that party, we must class it as an
alder and abettor Of that party; and If
the Radical party shall conclude to make
the presidential Office hereditary in the
family of Grant the Avalanche will be
ehargeable with having assisted in bring
ing it about. We are not Of those, how
ever, who fear the establishment of a
Grant empire in this country, although
it is more than likely that the President
will succeed to third term of Office.
We believe there is enough patriotism
and love of the republican form Of gov
eminent, even at the North, TO prevent
the role Of Cesar from being played sue
cessfully by the man at Long Branch.

Greenbacks i'm the Happy Hunt
i1g Ground.
A correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Morning Call gives the following
description of the suicide aud burial Of
Curly Headed Jack, one Of the captured
Modocs;
At half-past eleven o clock on Sunday
morning pistol shot was fired in the
Modoc camp, and temporary excitement
among the troops ensued. Curly-Headed
Jack, prominent warrior OF the Cotton
wood faction, lay in one of the tents
with bullet hole as big as ones fist ia
the side of his head, while his right hand
grasped an army revolver. His mother
and female friends gathered about him
aud besmeared themselves with blood
from his wound, and endeayored by
other Indian customs to save his life.
Outside the tent stood Bogus Charley,
Hooker jim, Shacknasty Jim, Steam
boat Frank, the Curley-Headed Doctor,
and several nameless warriors, all affect
ed TO tears, who had been Jacks COM
panion from boyhood At the end Of
an hour prolonged shrek from the
women announced that his spirit had
fed TO the happy hunting ground.
The bereaved squaws kicked up such
a hubbub in the camp that Col. Mason
decided to bury the dead warrior and
continue the march in order TO tone
down the prevailing spirit Of sadness by
a change Of scene. The body was wrap
ped in a blanket aud so laid in the grave;
the pistol with which he accomplished
selfdestruction was placed near his
heart, and all his property, consisting OF
clothing, trinkets, and slick half dol
lar, was tumbled into the grave aud upon
him. The pistol, the Indians said would
be Of service TO Jack in procuring game
upon his arrival in the happy hunting
grounds.
Before the grave was covered | noticed
Hooker Jim scudding through the mill
tary camp as one possessed Of devils,
and had a curiosity to learn what allied
him. II seems that Jim owed the suicide
81, but had only 70 cents in silver aud a
81 greenback with which 10 make the
the payment, aud as be had borrowed
coin be wished 10 return the same. hav.
ing grave doubts whether greenbacks
would be Of any use TO Jack IL the next
world-sad commentary on lie national
currency. One Of the soldiers gave him
s. 10 silver for bis greenbsck, aud the
coin was at once flung into the grave.
Jim's face wore q look Of cOntentment
after the payment Of this debt The
exercises at the grave concluded with
the ceremony Of providing food for the
use Of Jack on bis way 70 the datsut

MELBouRSR, May l2.-On the 29th
ultimo. one Walter Rodney, Welsh
man. was shot dead at Ballyrat by au
American jobber named Frank Cole,
This affair OF honor arose mainly out OF
dispute on international matters. Sew
eral weeks ago Cole, who had been a
strictly temperate man for over q year,
began 10 drink freely. During Coles
carousals Rodney, the Welshman, with
whom he lived, missed a purse and a
gold watch, one containing one hundred
hounds and the other valued at fifty or
two hundred and fifty dollars. Rodney
asserted in public that the money and
watch were stolen by Cole, that damned
American" as Rodney spoke OF him.
Cole heard Of this and instantly made his
way 10 Walter Rodney 10 demand oil
him an apology or a denial OF the re-
port. Rodney compromised between
the apology aud denial by an effort TO
explaiA how Cole had taken the watch
and the money, but with an intention OF
restoring them when he had recovered
from his spree. Thereupon Cole knocked
the Welshman down with a blow Of his
Est. 1t was in a respectable public
house. and the friends Of both men
promptly interfered by separating the
eombatants. Rodney, on arising, at
tempted to draw a pistol, but II was
taken from him. Cole said, Rodney,
you are a coward, aud you have proved
il by striving to shoot me while | am
unarmed." Rodney replied that he
would shoot down any Yankee as he
would a dog" Cole tried hard TO break
through Rodney's friends, who sur
rounded him. IF you won't fight me
naturally" said Cole, will you give me
a chance witha pistol2" Rodney agreed,
asking when and where. Here and
now, answered Cole. Several Of those
present sought to pooh-pooh the affair,
but the majority stolidly accepted the
utimatum. Pistols were procured, and
Rodney offered to give Cole his choice,
saying, 81 can shoot against Yankees
every day in the week. Cole seemed
to grow white with anger. but did
not answer word. A long room
in the rear of the house was
the place of meeting, and only twelve
PAGES we're measured off. The combat
ants were blindlolded and placed side
ways toward each other. The referee
repeated the signals, One, two, three,
in slow and measured manner, and
three was the cue to the trigger. The
first fire ended literally in smoke. Each
combataut, pale aud anxious, pulled of
his mask, expecting to find o corpse be
fore him. But neither of them had been
touched. Here some of the witnesses
called upon the duelists to accept the
result as providential and shake hands

WHATS THE NATTER

The following editorial from Neal
State Gazette, published at Dyersburg,
Tennessee, contains news 10 the people
Of Memphis. There is evidently some
misunderstanding or misrepresentation
Of facts existing between the Gazette
and the company:
The Paducah and Memphis railroad is
treating Dyersburg aud Memphis with
bad faith. II has realized over $1,000
900 from the sale Of its FIRST mortgage
bonds; it has $4,000 worth Of Overs
burg bonds, on which our citizens are now
paying interest at the rate of about $l0a
day; it has SO, 900 Of individual stock
from our citizens; the time for which il
promised our town a railroad connec-
ton has passed, and still there is no
contract let out that will bring the
road TO Dyershurg The prospect is that
the trade OF Dyersburg, worth $3.50, 600,
will this season be diverted to depot
north of us aud that our town has paid
100000 for the privilege Of losing
$3.50 600 Memphis subscribes to the
road with d liberal hand, and now, by
not completing the road this year, the
Company b. diverting north an immense
trade That legiiimateiy belongs 10 Mem
phis u occurs 60 us that the business
men Of Memphis and their Chamber Of
Commerce should speedily interview the

Deeoya for shoppers.

Endless are the Establishments and the
seductive devices of trade. A famous
dry goods store lately startled the shop
ping community of Paris by opening a
free restaurant, a billiard hall and q
reading room for the use and behoof of
its customers. When the ladies 60 to
purchase at this place, while preparing
their lists, polite clerk escorts them to
the buffet, which is set out with ices,
cakes, Madeira wine, and 80 forth; and,
having ended their repast, they are again
escorted to the counter at which they
wish to buy. But sometimes the ladies
bring their escorts--husbands brothers,
or other useful puryeyors Of lucre-and
the question arises, therefore, how to
provide for them. The device of the
reading room and billiard table is inter-
posed for this purpose, and servant in
livery informs them when the buying is
completed, and when their own duties
namely, of footing the bills-are to be
gin. The care and ingenuity with which
the French guard against any annoying
moments in life are well exemplified in
this device. The free reading-room as
an adjunct of the dry goods store is not
wholly unknown in New York. but the
free buffet has not, we believe, been
transplanled there. A very much cheaper
and far less praiseworthy mercantile
trap for catching custom in the same
branch of trade also originates at Paris.
One popular store has superb clerk,
whose specialize is to place himself near
the door and to murmur whenever a
new customer enters, Hum Ia jolie
femme!" The storekeeper is said to
have observed that the effect was imme-
date and lasting, the newcomer remain

this device is not to be ranked for breadth

The telegraph has recorded the ac eli
dent by which the aeronaut La Mountain
was precipitated from his balloon, al
Ionia, Michigan, on the Fourth, and
dashed to death upon the ground. 1t is
a remarkable coincidence that three
years ago another aeronaut, also called
La Mountain, persisted in nearly simi-
lar manner, and, not a hundred miles
from the same place. This was in 1870,
at South Bend, Indiana; an impatient
crowd cast him off before be was quite
ready, with the valve rope tied several
feet above his head; the balloon shot
into cloud Of mist and sleet, which
froze the valve board fast. The intrepid
voyager climbed the network and tore
open the balloon with his teeth. The
balloon collapsed and fell, and the
aeronaut was frightfully mangled.
