RUMoR OF A PROPOSED ROYAL VISIT TO
IREIASD.-It is said that Queen Victoria will
probably visit Ireland, with the Duke and
Duchess OF Edinburgh, next autumn. This
visit is no doubt well-intenioned, and it
ought to be regarded by the Irish people in
that light The latest visits made to Ireland
by members Of the royal family were some
how unhappy. The presence of the Queen
herself on Irish sol, accompanied, as she will
be, by her illustrious daughter-in-law, the
Grand Duchess Marie, may have some effect in
bringing about better results 1t will be o
fresh test of the loyalty of the Irish people

Origin Of Typhoid Fever.

A controversy as to the origin of
typhoid fever is held by various men of
science in the columns of the London
Times. DIR. Lionel Beale takes the
position that fever-germs will not be
developed from filth. The influence of
bad air arising from defective sewerage,
the vicinity of foul matters, etc., etc.,
is to prepare the human system for the
invasion of fever-germs when imported,
and to render it favorable to their
growth and multiplication. When the
body is perfectly healthy and strong, it
is able to resist successfully the action
of feyer-germs but, when it is dis
ordered and weakened through con-
tinued living in disregard of sanitary
laws, it is ready to fall victim to dis
ease and the generation of fever-poison.
The dadnction is nerfectlv clear. keen

THE LUMBER BUSINESS.

THE LUMBER BUSINESS.
Chicago is still the largest and most
important lumber market in the world.
There are now about $50 firms engaged
in this branch of business, and over
$12,000,000 is constantly employed in
the city, while over $50,OOO,0 900 is in
vested by Chicago men outside of the
city, in mills, pine lands, etc. To
transport this property large feet of
vessels is constantly engaged during
the season of navigation, and upward
of 10000 men are employed in piling,
distributing and manufacturing it into
dressed lumber, sash and doors. The
following table shows the receipts and
shipments of lumber, shingles and lath

CLEAN up

The statement from Memphis that,
although the river has fallen ten feet,
the bayous opposite the city are still
within seven inches of their highest
tide, is disagreeably suggestive of stag
nant water and malarial effluvia. The
pcstilence atthis point last year was gen
erallv attributed tothe longIainy season
through April and May, followed by
the scorching suns of June. This year
we have had heavier rainfall, but it
ceased much earlier, and the weather
of May has been comparatively cool,
with notably cool nights, rendering it
reasonably certain that the effiuvia of
the late floods Will utterly disappear
before being vitalized into morbific
germs by summer heat. Not so with
the Mississippi valley, if the staSnant
bavou waters linger on tillnext month.
The surest means of preventing the
,nro-tation and domicil of pestllence
among Us, is to keep the city thoroughly
claansed. Thiscan be donemostcheaply,
and perhaps most effectively, byprlva' 2
efforts. it is a duty that every houfe
holder owes to his neighbor as well as
10 himself and family. By Its topo-
graphy, Nashville ought tobethe clean
est city IN the country.

The amended free banking bill was
reported to the House to-day, and MIR.
Maynard gave notice that it would be
brought up on Monday. While the
amended bill will not receive hearty
support from Eastern men, it viii prob
ably pass the House. The amendments
adopted by the committee to-day were
several in number. Only two of them
were of essential Importance. The first
provides that the Cancelled greenbacks
shall be charged as part Of the SINK
ing fund; and the section directing the
Secretary to sell bonds for the purpose
is struck out. In the ninth section of
the Senate bill, the provision for new

backs, is struck out, and in place OF
this, the Secretary is authorized to Is
sue the bonds authorized by the act OF
1870, bearing five per cent, four and a
half per cent, and four per cent instead.
The full COMM ttee confirmed the az :
ton of yesterday, striking out the third
section, which required banks to keep
their money reserves in their own
vaults. These are the most important
amendments, most of the others being
merely verbal.
The bill, as amended, is compro-
mise measure, and if it fails in either
branch there is no probability that any
financial legislation will be carried
through at the present session. Tfhe
best impression seemsto be that it will
pass, and be signed by the President.

HUGH BRINCKLEY,s DEFENSE.
New York Sun, May q

The BriIckley divorce suit, continued
yesterday before Judge Van Brunt and a
jury, attracted an extraordinary amount of
attention. Besides the crowds who wish
to attend the trial on account of its roman
tic features, the legal fraternity take great
interest in the case as one which must set
tie many troublesome questions touching
nOn-ceremOnial marriages and the laws af-
fecting marriage. generally. At least fifty
prominent members of the bar listened ca
geTly to yesterdays proceedings.
The continuation Of the eXaminatiOn-in-
chief of the defendant, Hugh l.. Brinckley,
lasted until after the recess. He denies
generally and specifically all the material
testimony Of the plaintiff; and fatty con-
tradicts DIR. Mott, Mr.. Moller, and half a
dozen Memphis witnesses, asserting that he
never thought of the plaintiff as his wife,
and never in any form or at any time &C
knOwledSed her to be such.
At late hour Mr.. Beach commenced a
cross-examination of the most searching
character. Under it the defendant fire.

A GENTLEMAN connected with Grace
Church, New York, gives us some ex-
traordinary figures connected with
that parish. During the years 1873
there was contributed for the religious
and benevolent purposes of the parish
S2I5, 3l422, and the collection at Easter
was about $4,000. In addition to
this, and to the usual annual contribu-
tons for parish work, Grace Church
has during the past five years contrib
ted over $500, 900 for objects outside OF
its own parish. 1t is doubtful if any
single congregation in the world can
show such munifcent gifts during a
similar period.

eminent, we do not see how Con-
gress can reasonably deny their petit
ton for admission into the Union as a
State. The recent testimony of United
States Senator's proves that the proper
ty Of landholders in Washington and
the District is wholly In the power of
irresponsible officers appointed by the
President and others. One Senator
testified that his house and lot had been
damaged to the amount Of $4,000 by
the digging down of the street in front
of his property, and another Sena-
tors place had been injured 81, 500.
Intheirrespective States, thelaws would
have either prevented the preparation
OF such wrongs, or compelled compen-
sation; but a Federal Board of I'm
provement has assumed the duty of
expending unknown millions IN level
ing hills, and filing up low places, and
the old ship canal, for which the tax
payers of the District or Congress
must pay. As the people had no voice
in the appointment Of this reckless
Board, it would be an obvious outrage
to hold them responsible for its acts,
whether good or bad. Give the people
the American right of self-government,
and then let them make and pay for all
needful improvements.
The organization of a territorial
government in and around Washington
was for purposes of public plumber,
which have been accomplished by Boss
Sheperd and his ring without the aid
or consent of local tax payers; and the
only way to prevent the continuance of
these gigantic frauds, is to allow the
people to form a State, with the usual
powers of self-defense. The metropolis
of the nation should not be in a terri
tory, nor should the people be held as
wards of Congress to be fed from the
public treasury.

dress, after having been defeated by
Gen. Gordon IN the Senatorial election,
he remarked that the inexcusable blum
der of the South since the war had
been her refusal to send her statesmen
and her great citizens to the national
councils. He invoked ''the future his
