Having is nearly fin lshed, and our farmers report that they crop, and we hear the same complaint of the oat crop......Mrs. Wesley Gibbs, who has been spending several weeks at her fa- ther's in Berkshire county, Mass, has re- turned to her home in this village.....It does not seem to be understood by some people that they have no right to break open and read other peoples letters and re- tain them ln their possession, but let them be assured that it will prove rather danger ous business if continued any longer......

Eg The New York Tribune of Saturday, August 7th, is a remarkable issue even for that journal, and very completely illus trates it's claim to be the leading American newspaper In addition to all the ordinary and extraordinary news of the day from all parts of the world, it publishes letters and special articles from Charles Readc, who treats of international copyright from Bayard Taylor on Cape Cod scenes and life; from the Rev. Dr. John Hall on the American Eyangelists, Moody and Sankey; from MT. T. Adolphus Trollope on the Italian Parliament from Arsene Houssaye on life in Paris; from John Paul at Sara toga on finance and other topics, and from it's special correspondent with the Powell Western Exploring Expedition. Such an array of brilliant names and talent has rare ly if ever been gathered in any sin gle pub lication, and never in the columns of any daily newspaper Readers of the Tribune enjoy daily miracle, which places such a wealth of treasure at their command for the nominal sum of four cents, or one Gol- lar month-postage paid.

It never pays to fret and growl When fortune seems our foe; The better bred will push ahead And strike the braver blow. For luck is work
 And those who shirk Should not lament their doom, But yielc the play

Eg The failure of '. B. Ford s Co., of New York turns out to be very bad one. The committee of creditors, after examin- ing the sffairs of the concern, recommend the acceptance of thirty-five cents on the dollar payable 1n installments within fifteen months. If the creditors do not accept these terms and allow the firm to continue. it is doubtful if half that amount can be re- alized. The failure is attributed by many to Mir. Beecher's loss of popularity, but this is not in accordance with inc facts. The firm had invested 800 900 in very com plete illustrated mechanical dictionary, which in c6nsequence of the dull times, met with almost no sale. There was also a loss on account of Mir. Beecher's inability to finish the concluding volume ot the Life ot Christ, the sale of which was consequently stopped after 5O,0 GOO copies of the first vol ume were sold. The Christian Union, MT. Beecher's paper, has always been prof itable and still continues so.

Chinese Wheelbnrrow.

A correspondent Of the Gardener S
Chronicle dilates upon the ingenuity
which the Chinese have displayed in the
construction of the national wheelbar-
row. The one large wheel used is placed
in the center of the vehicle, so that the
entire load rests directly upon it. The
streets Of Shanghai are filled with these
carriages, which ply in the place Of
hacks and drays. Two persons can CON
veniently ride in one, sitting on the
wooden platform at either side of the
wheel, resting one arm on framework
raised over it, and planting one foot in
a strrup of rope. 1T is by no means
uncommon, however, to see as many as
four persons conveyed, without any par
ticular effort the ground being level) by
a stalwart Coolie." Garden and farm
produce and live stock are transported
in the same manner. The Chinese
farmer often wheels his animals instead
Of driving them to market; and fat,
live hog lying on each side of the wheel
may frequently be seen bowling along
to the place OF sale.

Irving and Hamthorne

Irving died at Sunnyside in 1850, aged
seventy.seven. Hawthorne, who next to
Poe is the most mysterious of American
authors lived till sixty. Willis lived two
years longer, dying in 1869. These men
were New Englanders, the first being
native OF Salem, while the second was
born at Portland; but what contrast is
exhibited in their books and characters
George p. Morris, whose name is so
closely identified with that of Willis, was
native of Philadelphia, and died in
New York in 1864, aged sixty-two
Joseph Rodman Drake was the youngest
OF all our poets at the time of his death,
being just twenty-five. he was born in
New York in 1895, and died in 1920.
His profession was medicine; but his
marriage rendered him independent.
His poems were all produced in very
brief space. and the Culprit Fay" is
due to the attempt to show that the rivers
and mountains of America are capable
of romantic incident. Drake was en-
couraged by his friend Halleck, aud they
wrote in a literary co-partnership, whose
signature in the Evening Post was
" Croaker Il Go" His death occasioned
that exquisite utterance of the latter
commencing Light be the turf above
thee"

MEMPHIS, TENN. FRIDAY EVENING NOVEMBER r. 1875

This engimatieal series of problems is
not yet ended"
This criticism of Mozart by Italian
appreciation sixty years ago is curious,
and reminds one OF the "Tannhauser"
hissed from the Parisian stage some
years past:
1T may be remembered that Mozart
in Milan in 1915 was looked upon as a
barbarous composer, whose troppo 70.

phrased it, might possibly please. not

An unfortunate clock maker OF the
Quarter Latin named Maramoot, hav-
ing shot the seducer Of his daughter,
Alexander Dumas comes out with long
article as a pendant to his "Tuelal"
wherein he no longer cries, "Kill herl
but, more. sensibly, kill him" The
peculiar and cold. blooded indelcacy Of
style of the great author. when he plies
his pen III behalf of these social prob

tracts. / was struck, however, With one
passage, wherein he advocates a change
from the invarisble French practice of
bringing up young girls in ignorance
and in leading strings. Teach them

them guard against themselves" would
be.the advice Of an American, and such
substantially is that Of NJ. Dumas "She
would know, it is true. what young
girl ought not to be told, but, on the
other hand, she would know what a
young girl ought not TO do" Come,
then, if American training is advocated
in Paris by such an advocate, there is
hope for the future Of Partisan society,
after all.

Lucy H. Hooper, in Appleton's Jour
nal, gossips as follows
Here is a just and vivid picture Of the
genius of the elder Dumas That ex.
traordinary talent, that tropical genius,
powerful, abundant, ardent, mobile and
entirely physical, did not need to create
a work 1t warmed into life whatever it
encountered. A Protestant refugee at
Rotterdam had published in that city,
about the year 100, three wretched little
volumes of a tolerably happy invention,
but diffuse and vulgar in style. Dumas
made Of them the entertaining history
OF the 'Trois Mousquetaires' You might
bring him history of any kind, a sub
ject well or i'll treated, the astonishing
artist would cast the paste into his oven,
whence in few minutes it would come
forth we'll cooked and savory. | think
that he has signed thousand works,
dramas and novels. He has been &C.
cused with having stolen the half of them.
That is net true. The oven belonged to
him. No matter from what quarter came
the paste, so long as he had not kneaded,
retouched and watched over it, it had no
value. He corrected the mould, recon-
bined the elements and superintendent
the baking. One of his comedies, the
DemoiselIes de ST. Cyr,' which achieved
more than a hundred representations,
was, when it fell into his hands, nothing
more than a little uniformed vaudeville,
which its author sold for fifty francs He
was at once a wit, q poet, maDutac-
turer and an engineer.
Here is a sketch Of Bismarck: This
redoubtable cotemporary, who already
has his coat-of-arms, and whose father
was the guardian Of state fortress, the
Prince Von Bismarck, is human enig-
ma, who has in his service the strangl
est Of faculties. History can alone solve
this riddle. He might replace his armo-
rial bearing by silver sphynx on field
gules. It is not yet time to judge this
wild Richelieu of the Baltic. But quail
ity which cannot be denied TO him is q
power of penetration, which was aided
by his journeys and his youthful observ-
ations, which was sharpened by his SO
journ in France, and which is marvel
lously aided by his natural boldness aud
his brusquerie, assumed orreal, and which
permit him to manage, will not say to
deceive, mankind. When he busted him
self with over-feudal principalities Of
Germany he was thought to be Demo-
crat, and all Democrats hastened 10 toll
low in his train. When, afterwards, he
brought up the old grievances of the
Prussian monarchy against us, aud
raised up the trivial Spanish quarrel Of
the Hohenzollerns, so insanely accepted
by the representatives and masters Of
France, the Prussian Feudalists, then
taking him for the most monarohial Of
Royahsts, and the most feudal Of Feu-
dalists, fought at his side as one man.
