The Yellow Fever.

New YoRK, March 31.---A dispatch
from Washington says: "a telegram
from Key West announces that the yel-
low fever had greatly increased within a
few days; that all the naval vessels
were quarantined, and the soldiers gar
risoning the forts would leave
Immediately for colder quarters: that the
epidemic was spreading and that deaths
we're occurring in Key West. Instruc-
tinns have been sent to the surgeons at
Pensacola and Mobile, New Orleans and
Galveston, to be on the lookou. for yell
low jack, and promptly report its ap-
pearance. The United States Steamer
Despatch, sent to New Orleans to convey
the Senatorial party to Mexico was at
Key West when the fever broke out. and
there is increasing solicitude in Washing
ton, not only for the nava! officers but FOR
the prominent persons composing the ex.
cursion party.

THE Kosciusko Qnd.) Enterprise thus speaks
of an improved method Of fishing at the
lakes in that county X consists of small
house, built on runners like those Of sled,
in which is placed a small stove, while in the
floor small aperture is left through which to
drop the lines. Holes are cut in the ice, the
houses are moved over them, and the fisher
men sit by warm stove while drawing in the
fish. Several Of these houses are now in use.

Wide Fluctuations in Stocks.

New YORK, March 31.-Speaking Of
the commotion on Wall street yesterday
and its causes, the Times says: 1T ap-
pears that Daniel Drew for some time
past has been selling privileges, chiefly
s'calls'' and ''straddles' on stocks and
s.puts'' on gold.''
The recent large advance in stocks in
dnced some of the holders to present their
privileges for liquidation. and up to yes
terday the calls presented were duly
honored. The handsome profits ac-
cruing from the heavy advances of Mon
day induced others to demand a
delivery of the stock called for in their
privileges. Drew promised to give up a
broker. The large decline in gold caused
holders Of puts to ask for place to
put the gold but Drew had not put in an
appearance and the anxious enquirers
were blandly answered by the brokers
that Drew was i'll and unable to leave his
residence to attend to business. This
was great disappointment. and not a
few were uncourteous enough to express
doubts as to the illness Of Drew. The
first effect on the stock market Of Drew S
absence from the street was
depress prices and generally un-
settle values, but as soon
as it was understood that any permanent
default on his part would place number
of spectators operating on his calls short
Of stocks, the feeling changed and prices
began to advance, just as the Stock Ex-
change was closed for the day.
The effect in the gold room was even
i lol c<o o,1r
and the operations there are generally in.
terpreted as meaning disruption Of the
clique lately manipulating the market fol
use and to distress merchants and make
money stringent.
[Wall Street Telegrams Of Last EVENING"
There was great excitement and wide
fluctuation in Wall street markets at the
close Of the day, with decline in botf
stocks and gold. The occasion Of this
was an announcement that DAME
Drew was confined to his house by sick
ness; and some Of his puts and call
were not responded to when presented
his brokers stating that they could d
nothing in the matter except by order 0
Drew, and he had not given any. Lat
in the day it was reported that Drew ha,
telegraphed down town that he would b
on hand tomorrow, and attend to hi
affairs.

fChicago Telegram, March 3O.1


An order will be issued from General
Sheridan's headquarters tomorrow, en-
closing communication from the Inte-
rior Department in relation to the Black
Hills country. After referring to the ap-
pointment of geologist to explore that re-
gion, and to the desire Of the government

makes this prophecy:
Two years ago the Republican party oi this
State was nearly oyerthrown, Tor the simple
reason that for two successive years it had re-
fused to pass law prohibiting railroad dis
examinations and it was only saved from de-
feat by the belief on the part of the people
that Gov. Davis nomination was a guaranty
that the party would pass such law. Gov.
Davis was elected; ard the Legislature elected
at the same time did pass snch law. The
law was universally satisfactory to all except
the railroad companies and their sp* cially ia
vored localities No party or convention, prior
t- the last election, dared TO advocate its re-
peal. The people, having secured their rights,
went to sleep. Tie railroad companies took
them BY surprise and repealed the law The
Republican party will he held responsible for
its repeal, and the next political Lree1e that
shaI. sweep over our prairies will drive the
Republican craft upon the rocks Of sure de-
feat.
And again the same paper says:
II a "People's Party" will lay down a plat
form of principles similar to that contained in
this issus Of the Radical, and nominate men
who will honestly carry them out, It might BE-
sustained. But why not cal it Radical Re-

MILWAUKEE, March q, 1875.
The speculative movement in wheat
has not been so large during the week
Just past, and aside from few legit-
innate orders the demand has been chiefly
from s'shorts,' which element is now
nearly extinguished from our market.
Some Of the leading bulls have also bought
in our market and sold in Chicago and
brought values here up to Chicago prices.
The weather during the past few days has
greatly improved, and is now all that can
be desired. Indications are now favor
able to an early seeding. From central
Iowa we hear Of farmers sowing and in
10 days Northern Iowa and Minnesota
will do the same. At present everything
promises we'll. Our receipts have nearly
doubled during the last few days AMI nc
cumulations along the lines will give us 1t
least two weeks Of large re-
cciprs. Farmers deliveries will be very
small until after seeding. Lack
Of time as we'll as bad roads will check
them. A decline Of Sc on eastern
| freights impaired an advance to our mar
ket, but this impetus to shipments, -
well as prospective large arrivals in New
York, from removal Of the distractions
to traffic caused by foods. has had de-
pressing effect on New York, which was
developed to-day under more liberal ar
rivals. Additional reports from winter
wheat growing states do not confirm the
apprehension felt for the wheat
plant, but present prospects are
rather favorable. and copious rains in Cal
iforn;a have insured an abundant yield
there. English and continental markets
have ruled firm with the tendency up,
but are not quotab;y higher. Small ar-
rivals in Liverpool is the reported cause
Of the frmness, but it is also evident that
the supply on the conti-
nxnf has been largely OCer-
estimated. We yentured that asser-
ton early last fall, and the non-appear-
ancc Of the immense crops on the mark
cts as yet is evidence that they DO n0t
e.rist tn such an extent as reported.

LIFT A LITTLE.

Lift a little! lift little!
Neighbor, lend a helping hand
To that heavy-laden brother
Who for weakness scarce can stand;
What to thee with thy strong muscle
Seems light and easy load,
Is to him ponderous burden
Cumbering his pilgrim road.
Lift little lit a little!
Effort gives one added strength
That which staggers him when rising
Thou can hold at arms length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,
Not thy praise that thou art strong;
It is God makes lives to differ,
Some from wailing, some from song.
Lift little! lift a little
Many they who need thine aid;
Many living by the road side,
Meath mlsfortune's dreary shade.
Pass not by, like priest or Levite,
Needless of thy fellow-man;
But, with heart and arms extended,
Be the Good Samaritan.

What prolific time of complaint.
ASK your neighbOr what he thinks, and
he thinks of 'hard times" How he
feels, and che feels the hard times, .
The complaint is universal, general, all
pervading, and the consequences are ap-
parent to all. A community can soon
complain itself out of money, credit.
enterprise, and in fact every requisite
70 its general good and welfare. Just
now We are realizing some of the
benefits of such a course. Bailiffs
are out like warriors OH the war
path; merchants eagerly, anxiously
striving to collect even the smallest
accounts due them. Bankers are grave,
and sit with closed vaults. s'NO accom-
modationS" is written on all faces and
all results from our natural desire to
complain OF s'the times" let US hedge
of for while. DO If you please. "The
times" are not so bad as we suppose.
There is bread in the eountry-plenty
of it-and money too, as to that. We
know whereof we speak. Let us quit
complaining, and rest assured Sfthe
times" viii assuredly grow better and we
viii be a happier and better contented
cOmmunity.-G Daily Meas.
The above is applicable TO Pulaski

III Had Leisure.

"If had leisure, / would repair
that weak place in my fence" SAID a
farmer. He had none, however, and
while drinking cider with a neighbOr,
the COWS broke in and injured a prime
piece OF corn. He had leisure then to
repair his fence, but it did not bring
back his corn.
eff L had LEISURE" said a wheelright,
last Winter, 81 would alter my stove
pipe, for l know it is not safe" But he
did not find time, and when his shop
caught fire, and burned down, he found
leisure to build ANOTHER.
ali had leisure,n said a mechanic,
81 should have my work done in season.
The man thinks his time has been all
occupied, but he was not at work till
after sunrise; he quit work at five
o'clock, smoked a cigar after dinner,
and spent two hours on the street talk
ing nonsense with an idler.
of had leisure" said a merchant,
81 would pay more attention to ac-
counts" The chance is, my friend, II
you had leisure, you would probably
pay less attention to the matter than
you do now. The thing lacking with
hundreds of farmers who till the soil is
not more leisure, but more resolution
the spirit to do-to do now. If the
farmer who sees the fence i'm a poor
condition would only act at once, how
much might be saved. 1t would pre-
vent breechy cattle creating quarrels
among neighbOrs. that in many cases
terminate in lawsuits, which take
nearly all they are both worth TO pay
the lawyers.

EIkton Correspondence.


Mr.. EDITOR: Saturday last was a
day long to be remembered here. The
people began to gather themselves to-
gether, even from Dan TO Beersheba. 1t
was conjectured that they had assembled
for the purpose of celebrating the re-
turn of their popular FlOater, DR., j. 4 a..
He seemed to enjoy the thing hugely,
and bobbed around among his delighted
constituents in manner that done
credit to himself, as well as reflected
honor on the truly honorable body to
which he belonged. r. II. WyHne, the
author of that celebrated letter on the
dog law, was also here, receiving the
unqualified thanks of has constituents.
BY the way, that dog law has stirred up
old harry III the canine ranks, and they
are beginning to move their washing
toward the "happy land" to souI-stirr-
ing notes of "Old Dog Tray" BY two
o'clock the celebration was at its hight,
and one of your handsome young legal
gentlemen trOtted off with his nose
''atween his fingers and mashed into =,
| jelly" as our friend SUIT Lovengood no.
etically puts it. Ii is supposed that it
was a fifty cent fellow he bumped his
/ head against. The result was thirty
two dollars and fifty cents fine, costs,
/ etc. The sheep are in high spirits over
| the passage of that celebrated law, and
| by general order of the head rams, every
1 lamb, ram, sheep and mutton carried a
/ double bOw-knot tied in his tail, and
from this fact may be called, not inap-
propriately, Borrers.

want any more down here though, be-
/ ing absolutely washed away, root and

spirits, but are doing remarkably we'll
in the way Of planting, blowing, etc.

/ ing caught on the jury?

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1875-04-01

Mr.. EdttOF:-Our farmers are doing
a little blowing, their wives are plant
ing beans and beets, their daughters
are fixing up sprigs of Spring finery
wherewith to deal destruction TO the
enemy man. So that the Depot is less
lively than usual. Our merchants have
sold a great deal of grass and garden
seeds. The indication are that the land
will be covered with clover and timothy
next year. People try one thing and
find there is hard work and less money
in it than they expected Then
they stampede off to something else
generally to make the same discovery.
In seeing these changes of business
and the frequent failure to realize ex-
pectations, we are often reminded of a
remark of MIR. Robert Laird, to the
effect that every family in the country
| which had taken one business and had
stuck to it through good and bad prices
had become rich. There is a world OF
wisdom in this remark. 1t requires
years of close study and attention for a
man to learn to produce any one crop
to the greatest advantage. Whenever
he changes his business, all his previous
| experience is lost, he must begin to
learn anew, and he must expect for a
time to work at a disadvantage. We
are fully convinced that it is better tc
continue at the most unprOmising crop
that is planted, than to change from
one thing to another.
| Ia spite of the cry for emigration
we believe there is a surplus of labor
| in the country. This surplus will be
vastly increased as farmers give up cot
ton. There is perhaps no part of the
world where there is greater induce
ment held out to manufacturers than
in the counties of Giles and Maury
Cheap labor, cheap living, healthy eli
mate, Railroad facilities, an abunda nee
of cattle, sheep, cotton, it surely seems
that nothing is lacking, but little en-
terprise to enable this part of the State
to use up its own material instead o.
sending it of to enrich other sections
1t is only in this way that we can re.
tain that valuable yeomanry that il
yearly moving to Texas and Arkansas
In our Responding moods, when We
see the children chewing tobacco, the
youths drinking whisky,-althougE
thank heaven we do not see that mucI
now-strOng men without energy, Ole
people like babies, and the bottom on

we do not have the management of the
whole concern. We would certainly
wind it up; which would be pity
We are not abiding to our own very
nice village and neighbOrhoOd, which
