DIsINFECrON.-If disinfectants destroy
the odor and the infection arising from the
decomposition of offensive matter, why do
not our City Fathers require all such mat
ter to be disinfected Immediately before
removal by the nuisance carts. If sprinkled
with disinfectants and rendered innocuous,
it ceases to contaminate the ar, offend the
nOstrils, and, if fully dsinfected, may be
deposited anywhere to fill up with. Haul
ing to out-of-the-way places without disin-
tccting increases rather than lessons the
evils We wish to abate. Why not furnish
cheap disintectants to every nuisance or
butchers cart and all unsavory establish
ments, and make the owners thereof disin-
feet all such matteri Let the Board of
Health prescribe the best and cheapest
mode of thorough disinfection, and let the
city see that it is enforced. Now is the
time to begin, before the hot weather
generates noXious odors.

A MODEL TOWN.

At a time like this, when crime is holding
high carnival in our city, despite the I'm
mense metropolitan police army, for the sup
port of which our people are GENEROUSLY
taxed, and when the usurping magistrate Of
the State throws open the doors of the Peni-
tertiary, 1t is aggravating to read the fol-
lowing account Of the thriving town of
Dumfries, in Scotland, which We find in the
Dumfries Standard of recent date:
Nowhere in Scotland, perhaps, is there a
better behaved community than ours. 1t it
were not for occasional cases of drunken
ness, the Burgh Police Court would probably
not be open above half dozen times in the
year and at the end of some quarters our
worthy superintendent might present his
report with white kids and a chOker of the
same symbolical color. And it is well that
lit this respect things are what they seem;
for were the disposition to evil largely pres
ent the opportunity would not be wanting.
Maxwelltown is often made merry oyer, with
her population Of 5000 and her formidable
police establishment of one constable, Occa-
siOnally assisted by a scavenger, who is also
lamplighter for the royal bnrgh.
But in reality Maxweltown is perhaps
quite as well watched as Dumfries is at the
present moment for here, with popula-
ton of 10000, the peace aud property of the
town are preserved by three officers during
the day and a solitary constable at night
for although four, including the suPerin-
tendent, are n,minally on the day and two
are nominally on the night shift, one of the
former and one Of the latter are located al
most their entire time in the slaughter
house, for Dumfries butchers, like death it
self, kill at all hours, and the Police Com
mission being tenants of the slaughter house
which is the property Of the Town Coun
cil-do their business on the cheap by stick
ing constable behind the counter there to
upift the dues-notwithstanding the vulgn
notion that constables Were ordained for
quite another purpose. We believe the force
is short in its normal number by two men
but even with these, it seems anything but
sufficient. We would, therefore, suggest
that the Commissioners still DELEGATE two
men to the slaughter-house; they might put
the main force on duty at night, and leave
the safety of the town by day to the soil
tary constable and the watchfulness of
wakeful citizens.

no pleasant mid lie age coming TO take their
place. She married a handsome. hel pess

TIE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-Last evening
those who love the lighter comedy assem-
bled at this favorite place of popular resort
TO enjoy a moment of pleasure and fun. Mr.
Gray's piece of "The Working Girls Of New
Orleans" was not altogether what might
be expected from the author, yet it served
to awake the laughter of the audience. That
little favorite LIE Petite Sallie de Angels
as usual, brought down the house.
In "Checkmate" we have again to COM
mend Miss Alice Harrison's judicious rendi-
ton Of part which is rather below her
standard of power. She has versatility
which promises so much in the future that
she should not for any reason forget that
her dramatic powers are too high for such
character Miss frankie Mcclellan
earned the high opinions so generally ex-
pressed regarding her part. Taking it
altogether, the programme passed off ex-
ceedingly we'll.
To-day noon grand gift matinee takes
place, when one Of those favOrite silver
mounted Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines
will be given to the lucky ticket holder.
Be sure to secure your seat to the Alice
Harrison benefit Thursday evening. Miss
Pauline Markham is to appear. and her vel
vet voice will be heard. Look out for a
crowd.

GLOBE THEATRE.-The attendance last
evening at this theatre, to witness the per
Torrance rendered by the Shakespeare Club
for the benefit Of the sufferers by the over
flow, was very large, and indicated that this
community had kind appreciation Of the
benevolent object for which the club had
kindly volunteered their labors.
The play selected, "Marble Heart, or The
Sculptors Dream" is one SO familiar to play
goers, that any remarks on that score are
simply superfuous. The performance itself
was rendered in style which reflected mnch
credit upon on one Of our favorite dramatic
organizations, and though we could not
with justice particularize, we must be par
doned for mentioning Mr.. L. O'Neil's Phdias
and Raphael Duchatlet, and Miss Amelia
Waugh's Thea and Madamoissette Marco,
which more than eqnaled our expectations

TENNESSEE NEWS.

Cotton is coming into Jackson pretty
freely.
There were twelve deaths in jackson
during September, five whites and seven
blacks.
Milton Mclean, found guilty of the muir
der of Thaddeus Pope by the Circuit Court
Of Madison county, has been granted a new
trial.
The cotton crop of Lauderdale county, is
estimated at about one-half the average
yield, while the corn crop will not exceed
that amount.
The Gdlldtin TeRneSSeeGR reports that
horse thieves have been quite active in that
vicinity during the past two weeks, some
ten or twelve horses having been stolen
The Jackson Courier Herald states that
the farmers of Madison county intend SOW
ing double the usual quantity of wheat and
rye this season. This is the proper policy,
and the example should be initiated in eve
" county in the State.
The Brownsville Bee has been told by
farmers of Haywood county that it is al
most impossible to raise hogs now, on ac-
count of the numerous thieves in the coun-
try, who 60 providing about the woods and
kill them wherever found.
The Ripley Ne1cS says: John II. Grag-
ham, charged with forgery, was convicted
al the present term Of our Circuit Court,
and sentenced to four years in the Peniten-
tiary. Some Of our citizens, who sympa-
thize with his unfortunate wife, are getting
up petition asking for a mitigation Of the
sentence, but as there were no mitigating
circumstances connected with the crime,
we hardly suppose the prayer will be
granted.
