TIE reunion of the One Hundred and
Fifty-fourth (%senior) and the Thirteenth
Tennessee Confederate regiments in this
city will be one of the most notable
gatherings Of the kind held in the State
yet. These regiments were composed Of
the best material that the South ever
produced, and though the ranks we're
often thinued out by battle and disease
the survivors we're faithful and undaunt
cd to the last. At the end Of the war
these regiments we're but skeletons. The
most Of them returned to Memphis and
vicinity, and though many have since
di0d, a goodly crowd, we think, can yet
be paraded. The committees are work
ing faithfully to perfect all necessary
arrangements.

of the little party of four who, in Mr. Pot

turn to his own room.
Once inside the door, the n0nchGl1nt

man, and he muttered fiercely:

Extract from a letter in the London Times.
Thomas Carlyle on the Eastern Question

To undertake a war against Russia on behalf
of the Turk it is evident to me would be nothing
short of insanity, and has become, we may fond
ly hope, impossible for any minister or prime
minister that exists among US. Twenty years
ago we already had a mad war in defense of the
Turk; a mass Of the most hideous and tragic stu
pidity, Encouragement and disaster lin spite of
bravest 6ghting) that England was ever concern
ed in since / knew it a hundred millions of
money and above sixty thousand valiant lives
were spent in the enterprise. BY treaties of
Paris, etc., the Turk was preserved intact, bind
ing himself only to reform his system of govern
ment, which certainly. of all things in the world,
needed reform. And now, after twenty years of
waiting, the Turk is found to have reformed
nothing nor attempted to reform anything.
Not to add that by bankrupt finance he has
swallowed a disastrous tribute of many new
millions from the widows and orphans of En-
gland. AS fnis to all which, he has wound up
by the horrors of Bulgaria and such savageries
as are without q parallel. With these weighty
agravations, the Turkish question returns upon
us anew and demands a solution. 1t seems to
me that something very different from war on his
behalf is what the Turk now pressingly needs
from England and from all the world-namely,
to be peremptorily informed that we can stand
no more of his attempts to govern in Euope, and
that he must guam priD1unp turn his face to the
eastward, forever quit this side of the Helles-
pont and give up his arrogant ideas of governing
anybody but himself.

Diphtheria in New York.

The origin Of diphtheria, says President
Chandler Of the New York board Of health, Is q
mystery. Mos. New York physicians, l believe,
think that sewer gases started it. 1t is a germ
disease, like small pox, and Is communicable.
Ii often seizes robust children who, at the fune-
rails of playmates, or in school or church, are ex-
posed to is direct influence. The diphtheritic
poison, impregnating the air passages Of the pa
tient, affects the entire system The alr-passage
impregnation speedily changes into inflammation,
accompanied by the formation OF membrane
Fever next follows. The poison begins to act as
soon as it falls upon the tissues of the air-pas-
sages, but doesn't sensibly affect the patient IN
til two to five days later. Then he feels great
prostration, his throat is dry, and he has prick
ling pains in swallowing. The thzoat reddens,
white membrane sppears in patches, and the
glands swell. In fatal cases the fever increases,
the throat Inflammation spreads, and general ex-
haustion follows. The diphtheritic poison clings

afterward. Diptheria prefers, seemingly, child
rem between one and ten; the average age OF
Its victims now is about two years. Neither
heat nor cold, rain nor drought, affect it. Clean
illness and pure air everywhere in q dwelling
tend to avert and mitigate it. Where it exists
no child should be permitted to kiss strange
children particularly when they have sore
threats, or even to play with their toys. When
any child in a family has a sore throat, the other
children should be kept rigidly apart, in dry,

should be promptly treated. The sick child
should be watchfully nursed in a well-Ventilated,
sun-lit-room. Men who live on Fifth avenue
are astonished that their children die. 1t is not
at all marvellous half of the houses there are
not fit to live in. 0ne-half of their owners, |
am confident, have never been in their own Gel
lars. They fill their drawing-roons with satins
and gliding, but give no heed to the drain pipes.
Often S. would have saved a loved child'e life,
if seasonably spent in repairing a defective
drain-pipe. a few days ago went into the
cellar of a great brown stone house. The cur
rent of sewer gas, rushing directly up to the
bedrooms, put out my candle, and left me to
grope my way out in darkness. We have only
one expert in plumbers work, and as the exami-
nation of a single house takes an hour or two,
he cannot accomplish much. Men should look
to their own plumbing for themselves. elf the
board of health had a hospital in which children
suffering with dipltheria could be isolated, it
would be the saving of many lives"

Origin of Life and Mind.

Life appears ten thousand ages or more after
the earth began to form. Whence this life ?
Prof. Huxley seems to find it in some protoplasm
or gelatinous substance. Was this one Of the
original elements of the nebulous matter? If so,
how did it come through that terrible heated
temperature? If il did not exist till after the
temperature had cooled, how did it come in ?
Professor Huxley has been the most determined
opponent in our day Of the spontaneous genera
ton Of life, and is thereby left without a means
of generating the life of plants and animals.
Darwin feels himself obliged, in order to account
for the phenomenon, to suppose that there were
four or five germs created by God. Tyndall
thinks that Darwin has at this point fallen into q
weakness. But meanwhile, Tyndall has no
means whatever of accounting for the appearance
OF life. Mr.. Darwin further calls in a pangene-
sis-which is just another name for the vital
force of the older naturalist-in order to account
for the generation of new animals. But he does
not tell US, and evidently cannot tell US, whence
this pangenesis, which cannot come from devel-
Opement, of which it is the source. and not the
product. Herbert Spencer prefers to bring in
physiological units.
ment when sensation, pleasurable or painful was
felt for the first time in the universe. Was this
at the beginning? If so, one wonders how the
sentient substance came through the heat, where,
so far as we can judge, it must have been suffer-
ing intolerable anguish without the power of re-
lieving itself by self-destruction.
Was this protoplasm self conscious L rather
think that neither Prof. Huxley nor Prof: TN
dali would say Inat 1t was. Animals from the
very first have SENSATIONS, and also, at least the
highest Ones, ideas and very curious instincts, by
which they make provisions for coming evils of
which they can have no conception.
Finally, in the last unnumbered ages we have
man with his intelligence, his conscience and
free-will, all attested by consciousness. Will
reyolutionists pretend that on any rational or
inductive principle they can tell how these
powers came into being and into action? When
the book of Genesis tells US how these agencies
did come in, and in particular how man APP
peared, science has and can have no facts to lead
us to discredit it.-Dr. McCosh, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly for November.

SATURDAY. MARCH 10.
The Best Legacy for Sons

Every parent Is anxious about the future oil
his children. Ibis is q natural instinct. but
in these days of luxury and speculation fathers
make fatal mistakes in regard to their sons
Even self-made men who have won success
through toll and hardship, by q mistaken a1ec-
ton withhold the discipline that made them what
they are, and which is absolutely necessary 70
develop the manhood of their boys. Ii Is wen
and wisely said that the best legacy a man can
leave to bis children is the ability to take care oil
themselves. Fit them for active business or
useful labor, and you secure them an income Tor
for all time to come. This income is as much
greater in value than the same income derived
from inheritance, as useful employment Is better
than idIeness. A practical knowledge OF some
useful business, art or trade, seems indispensable
in these days of sharp competition and hardship.
And in selecting employment for your sons, one
thing should be clearly understood-the market
is largely overstocked with clerks and statesmen
who expect large pay for little work. Success
and afluence must be looked for IN other fields.
And those most promising in good results are
identified With the demands, growth and develop
ment of the country, where the profits may be
small, but sure. "Small, steady gains lead to
competence and peace of mind" Give q young
man good moral habits, and a practical knowl-
ledge of some useful business, and the chance is
that he will not be long in working his way into
a position where he will realise $1,000 a year
an amount about equal to the interest on Sl5,-
900. Now, a young man who thus earns $ ,OOO
a year is in a far better position than a thought
less and idle young spendthrift who possesses
$15 900, because he is more useful and is max
ing himself happy instead of miserable.
