conceived that system of mech ami

edge, and simultaneous type setting
by machinery was by him carried to
a apraotioal issue, though he found
that his invention did not result in
profit. He worked number of
type.setting machines by operating
on the keyboard, proposed to set up
newspaper columns for any number
OF papers by this simultaneous pro.
cess, the only difference being that
tue various machines could not : be
placed in distant places. In other
words, he did not connect them with
electricity. The fact remains that
he actually worked ten or twelve
machines on this principle of con
nected action, which derived It's di
roofing power from one keyboard.
There is no moral doubt that the
same thing can he done on wider
scale by electric agency. But, if
done, We uld the game be worth the

FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES.
Three HOunH Girls Attacked by q

New York SUM-
Yesterday afternoon three young wO-
men, residing near the Big Brink pond.
in Shohola Township, Pennsylvania,

ming in the water. Thinking it was q
dog, they paid no urther attention to it,
tut started on their way across the
pond, which is about two miles wide.
AT eT rowing for several hundred yalds,
the girl VINO was plotting the boat saw
that what they at fist thought to be q
Cog swimming In the water was buck,
which was coming directly toward
them. Having 8 clumsy pair Of oars, il
was some time before the boat could be
turned, and then the deer had reached
TO within a few yards of them. The
girls became greatly terrified, fOT the
deer was fast gaining on them, and, from
the way it snoTted and plunged, they
were satisfied it meant mischief. While
the one rOwed with all her might the
other two padded, thus somewhat in
creasing their speed; ~! the deer was
slowly gaining on them, and, knowing
they could not reach the shore before
being Overtskeo, they ceased rowing to
prepare for the inevitable battle. When
the deer, snorting and plugging, had

brought down their raised paddles upon

weapons, and as the head roae to the
surface they again brought their paddles
TO bear upon it with the same result.
When the Geer egain raised from the
water il seemed ID realize that this was

started fIOm its nOstrils, and il sank

really only stunned. The girls then
started ios the shore, leaving the deer

PARIS, TENN.
Complaint About the Mails From Mem
Phis-The Tobacco CrOp-The TU-
IeIIigencer, Etc.

From an Occasional Correspondent
PARIS, Tenn, September Il, 1875
The mail from Memphis to
this place Is in such cOndi-
J.0n that letters and papers leaving
Memphis one day 90 not reach here Uu-
Ill the next day, st eleven o'clock in the
forenoon. The Nashville papers reach
mere the day they are published, but the
Memphis papers published on to-day do
not reach here until tomorrow, by mail,
though the newsbOys on the train bring
them here the same day they are pub
lished. Letters from Memphis lie over
at M'kenZie, and letters from this place
for Memphis also lie over at M'Kenzie.
The mail agent that leaves Memphis to-
day, at half-past twelve does not come
on, but stops either at Milan or M'Ken-
zie, and the mail lies over until tO-mOT-
row morning. This should be corrected.
1t puts Memphis at great dissdvant-
age. The farmers in this county are
very busy with their tobacco, which ia
a decided SUCCESS this year. They eX-
pect to make from eight hundred to one
thousand pounds TO the acre, and to get
from eight to ten cents per pound It
is, however, said TO be a very trouble
Als
Three acres in tobacco is what they give
to each hand to cultivate, besides Il rea-
sonable quantity in corn and
wheat. It is now SO dry here
that they are unable TO prepare
their land for sowing wheat. ! have
seen the best harrow to brake clOds that
can be found in the State. 1t cuts
them up and then crUshes them, so as
to leave the land perfectly smooth. They
are made in this place, by M. II. RisOn.
There will, l learn, be more wheat sOWn
in this county this year than there Was
last fall. They are coming ID the con-
ciusiOn that wheat yields more in pro.
portion to the labor and expense pat
upon it than anything else Rye, in or
der TO make very good pasture, ought
to be sOWn with the last yI0WiLg Of very
lats corn, in August; but sOWn now, il
will yield considerable p0sturage, II the
winter should be mild one. TAe c0un.
try around Paris is one Of the best mutt
regions in West Tennessee, Rs il is so
elevated. The health of this county il
said 10 be very good at this time; II is
very little subject to malsriOus diseases.

of the most progressive, live papers in
the State. DIR. DickensOn, one OF its ed
