The Pestilence at Memphis.

A recent telegram from Memphis
SAYS that the harvest of death
sweeps on with resistless force in
that city, cutting down the aged
father, the blooming maiden, the
pulling infant, the poor, the rich, and
all alike, without respect to caste or
standing. Father O'Brien, the third
Dominican priest to suecumb, was
taken to his last rest this forenoon.
The total deaths here during the
fever of 1866, were only one hun
dred and eighty-fve, and in 1867,
but one hundred and ninety-one.-
The present visitation has already
snatched nearly one thousand vic
Tins of a population of not over
twenty-five thousand in all, the re-
mainder having left the city since
the sickness broke out. The pecu-
liar nature of the pestilence ls
strange and inexplicable. Persons
apparently well and hearty eat a
solid meal, and in half an hour take
chill, and in two hours are delir-
ious and in raging fever, often
sinking to their last sleep in less
than forty-eight hours; sometimes
lingering with life as if hanging by
a thread for seven or eight days,
and then, emaciated and exhausted,
quietly breathe their last. Some
times black vomit, a substance like
coffee grounds, is thrown from the
stomach, and not more than one in
ten of such cases recover. A few
get through safely after they have
been given up by the attending ply
sicians, and some have mild attacks,
break the fever in forty-eight hours,
and after ten or twelve days again
appear on the streets with saffron
hued and sunken cheeks and yellow
ish eyes, but soon get stout and
strong again.
In 1867 the fever ceased here on
the 7th of November. 1t may,
therefore, last three weeks or more
yet. At all events, pail Of gloom
will hang over our doomed city for
some time.

MISCELLANY.
How Does He Sleep!

A man who achieves any great
thing in any department OF human
effort must have assistants in the
shape of employees, lieutenants,
deputies, Observation-Disclosures you
may choose to call them. He has
brains enough to furnish direction
to the energy of many men. His
success or failure will be due to the
iudiciousness of his selection. He
must know his men. They must
be capable. They must be faithful.
They must have no bad habits.
This brings me to what / wish to
present to my readers.
One of the most important things
to know about any man upon whom
you are going to place any depend
ence is, how he sleeps. Sleepless-
ness may sometimes be involuntary.
There may have been some shock to
the mans nerves which has made
him insomnolent; but sleeplessness
is more frequently voluntary. Men
choose to push their studies or their
work into those hours when they
should be asleep. 1t does not mat
ter for what cause man may do
this; the mere fact of not sleeping,
spoils his case. He may spend his
nights In the theater, in the study,
or in the "protracted meeting. 1t
will make no difference; the result
to the body will be the same. The
sleep was not had, and for that the
man must pay. One man may do
with little less sleep than another;
but as a general rule, if you want a
clerk, a lieutenant, lawyer, legis-
lator, a physician, judge, a presi-
dent or a parson, do not trust your
interests to man that does not take
on an average eight good, solid
hours of sleep out of every twenty
four. Whatever may be his reason
for it, if he does not give himself
that, he will snap sometimes just
when you want him to be strong.
The intellectual and moral con-
nections Of sleeping have, I think,
not been sufficiently appreciated
Men and boys have been praised for
burning the midnight OIL" Now,
this midnight oil" is delusion and
snare. The student who is fast
asleep at eleven o'clock every night,
and is Wide awake at seven in the
morning, is going to surpass another
student of the same intellectual abil-
ity who goes to bed after twelve and
rises before fve In sleep the plate
on which the picture is taken is re-
ceiving its chemical preparation,
and it is plain that that which is
best prepared will take the premi-
um.
Men who are fastest asleep when
they are asleep, are the widest
awake when they are awake.
Great workers must be great
resters.
Every man who has clerks in his
employ ought to know what their
sleeping habits are. The young
man who is up till two, three and
four o'clock in the morning, and
must put in an appearance at the
bank or store at nine or ten o'clock,
and work all day, cannot repeat this
process many days without certain
shakiness coming into the system,
which he will endeavor to steady by
some delusive stimulus. 1t is in
this way many a young man begins
his course to ruin. He need not
necessarily have been in bad COM
pany. He has lost his sleep; and
losing sleep is losing strength and
grace.

Among the extraordinary specta-
cles witnessed by those who ''go
down to the sea in ships" none are
more impressive than combat be-
tween the monsters of the deep
The battles of the swordish and the
whale are described as Homeric in
grandeur. The swordfsh 60 in
schools like whales, and the attacks
are regular sea fights. When the
troops meet, as soon as the sword
fish have betrayed their presence by
O few bounds in the air, the whales
draw together and close up their
ranks. The swordfsh always en-
deavors to take the whale in the
flank, either because its cruel in
stinct has revealed to it the defect
the brachial fins of the whale spot
where the wounds are mortal-or
because the flank presents wider
surface to its blow. The swordfsh
recoils to secure greater impetus.
IF the movement escapes the keen
eye of the whale he is lost, for it re-
ceives the blow of the enemy, and
dies almost instantly. But if the
whale perceives the swordfsh at the
instant of the rush, by spontane-
Gus bound it springs clear of the wa
ter its entire length, and falls on its
flank with crash that resounds for
many leagues and whitens the sea
with boiling foam. The immense
animal has only its tail for defense,
and it tries to finish its enemy at a
single blow. But if the active
swordfish avoids the fatal fall, the
battle becomes terrible. The ag-
springs from the water and
in It's turn falls upon the whale, and
attempts, not to pierce, but to saw
it with the teeth that garnish its
weapon. The sea is stained with
blood; the fury Of the whale is
boundless. The swordfish harnesses
him, strikes him on every side, kills
him, and flies to other victories. -
often the swordfish has not time to
avoid the fall of the whale, and con-
tents itself with presenting its saw
to the gigantic animal which is
about to crush it. 1t then dies
like Maccabeus, smothered beneath
the weight Of the elephant of the
ocean. Finally the whale gives a
few last bounds into the air, drag
ging its assassin in its fight, and
then perishes as it kills the monster
of which it was the victim.
