BaIIou'S Mdgdzine contains, a.
mong other good things, most
wonderful story of Arctic adj
venture, written by an old
whaleman who passed a winter
among the ice and snow, fro

thing for a hot afternoon, or sea-
side reading. The Magazine is
a household pet, and some peo-
pie think they can't keep house
without it. 1t is cheap but real
good, and one hundred pages
of reading matter are supplied
for fifteen cents, or $1.50 per
year, and a pretty little Chro-
mo as a premium. All the back

The want Of improvement in our
county system was very forcibly illus
trated yesterday and to-day in a case
that not only Affects the life OF a poor,
suffering waif oil humanity, but involves
the health land life Of others; and the
humilating fact was developed that no
provision exists TO meet such an emer-
gency. 1t was q virulent case OF small
pox-the patient eolOred lAborer. who
went eleven miles out Of the city, on the
Macon road, two weeks ago, to chop
wood in the Munson neighborhood. He
soon developed full blown case Of
small.po and yesterday was sent IN a
wagon to the city hospital. The authori-
ties refused 20 receive him, and he was
sent back to the country beyond Wolf
river. To-day he was brought to The
courthouse door and tumbled out
ON the steps by 4 colOred man
named Vet Munson, and another
named Green. A gentleman from the
.hborhood where he worked came
in at the same time and appealed to
Esquire BleekIey, Chairman of the
County Court and financial agent OF the
county, to take the patient and send
him to a hospital or pest house. The
latter is said to have been burnt down,
and the constituted and acting county
authorities seem powerless to do anything
uromptly in the case. The visitor grew
Indignant, said he had done his duty,
and retired unceremoniously. The two
negroes who brought in the patient
after waiting for orders some time,
carried the repulsive object, full OF
misery and contagious erupions, up the
steps and laid him down on his pallet
directly in front Of the Privilege Tax
Collectors door and beat hasty retreat
from the building. At the Jour OF this
writing 1.-TWO o'clock he is still there, to
the terror of many visitors and the dis
gust Of those who occupy Offices on that
floor. Meanwhile Esquire Bleckley and
others are conveniently absent looking
for some one who has had the small pox

last evening, after an agreeable journey
from st. Louis. Governor Noyes, OF

mistake. Alter short debate it was
decided not to return for them, but to
telegraph them to join the party at
Franklin by train. At number OF
places along the line Of the Atlantic and
Pacific road bunting was displayed and
platforms crowded with people, in honor
of the excursionists. AT Rolla the fire
company and the cadets were drawn up
in line and received the train with cheers

Aaooa Example for shelby County


From the Athens Post we learn that
the list of property liable for unpaid
taxes, due State and county for 1869,
1870 and 1871, in McMinn county, Ten
nessee, comprises seven distinct parcels,
and the total amount for which they are
to be sold is $2l2 GO, including costs and
charges. McMinn is above the average
of counties in this State in wealth and
population. If our tax collectors in
Shelby will promptly issue writs of pos
session, under our new revenue law, the
number of delinquents will be CORE
spondiugly smallin this unhappy county.
Those who pay their taxes promptly
should attend the tax sales hereafter,
and buy the property in self defense;
and thus an immediate reduction will be
secured,
