notices, extracts from the pres, and
testimonials from the late President
Lincoln and others, reminding people

SCOT any COW bells?" ''Yes step this
way" '.Those are too small. Haven't
you any largerl" mo, sir. The large
ones are al sold" He started off, and
got as far as the door, when the clerk
r;lIled after him: "Look here, stranger,
take one Of them small bells for your
cow, and you won't have half the trouble
in finding her; for when you hear her
bell you will always know she can't be
far Off" He bought the bell.
Cincinnati GazeHe: From the South
ern newspapers we conclude that the
rules of the political campaign are
these: l. No Radical ticket is to be
allowed. 2 All candidates in oppo-
sitiOn 20 the regular Democratic NOM
ina'ions are 20 be classed as Radicals
3. The colored people are to be al
lowed to live so long az they do not
meddIe with politics. We judge tnat
the canvas in the South generally Is
organizing or organized upon these
rules, with military bands to enforce
them.
The United States consumes annually
a.,ween six and seven hundred thousand
long tons Of cane sugar, less than Is per
cent of which is OF home production.
The leading sources Of foreign supply are:
Cuba 100000 tons, Spanish Possessions
10000. Porto-Rico 10000, French islands
p. OOO Brazil $4,000, Dutch East Indies
1000. British West Indie. O,OOO, British
Guiana 10000, Sandwich Islands 10000.
Twenty other countries supply less than
as many thousand tons IN all. In 1862
our home product was 191 900 tons; it fell
to 5000 tons in 1865; then slowly rose 20
1g,GOO tons in 1871. The crop OF 1870
was 1900.

THE Il - = %, paper pub
lished al Okalona, Mississippi-a pa,
per breathing the same spirit of rebel
lion that was manifested from 1891 to
1865, gives the following endorsement
Of the Democratic nomination for
Congress in the Toledo district:
Hon. Frank Hurd has been nonin.
ated for Congress by the Democracy
i'll the Toledo (Ohio) )disti let, defeating
General Jim Steedman, a war Demo
crat. who believes in the black amend
ments and the like Radical devil work.
Mr.. Hurd was peace Democrat in the
battle years; he was the brave young
statesman who led the opposition TO
the new departure of Mr. VaIlandig-
ham in 1871, and his course has been
signalized from the first by unwavering
fidelity to Jeffersonian principles. II
he was candidate down in this coun-
try the Conservatives would refuse to
vote tor him on account of his Bour-
bonistic prOclivities. o, he's one of
the royal boys, you bet.

SYMPTOMS of a DiseasedLi

Symptoms of aDiseasedLiver.
DAM in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are coStive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex.
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive OF
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to.
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with thi!
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements. and a
a simple purgative, they are unequaled
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.

FoREPAuaH's CIRCUS AND MENAGRIE.
-Forepaugh's celebrated circus and me-

The great row of tents somewhat indicate
the magnitude of this show. However, to
appreciate and enjoy it, one must visit the
entertainment and there behold its ami
mails in the ~menagerie and witness the
wonderful and brilliant features Of the
circus. The reputation which Mr.. Fore
paugh has earned and the happy efforts
he has made to afford the public an at

entitle him to the praise and Endorsement
of an appreciative and intelligent public
We feel confident that this menagerie ant

The p%alatial passenger steamer Illinois
has been withdrawn from the Vicksburg
trade for the present, and goes out this
evening in place of the Phil Allin, to
Riverton and Arkansas City. The Illi-
nois is one of the best packets onthe river,
and will be a daisy in the Arkansas City
trade, being swift and a safe carrier, and
having palatial passenger accommods-
lions. She leaves at 5 o'clock, sharp, for
Arkansas City, in place of the Phil Allin,
the latter steamer laying up. Captain
George Malone, the popular skipper of the
hopping Phil, will command her There

Murdered by NEGROES.
This morning the following Telegram
.l l. 4 nhnriA.

This morning the following telegram
was received by the sheriff;
GERMANTowN, December s, 1SlS.-E.
L. MCGOWAN, sheriff, Bartlett, Tenn
d. G. Rhodes was shot and killed by ne
groes last night. The murderers have not
been arrested yet. If you think proper
come. j. ID. ALsUf.
From what we can learn MI. Rhodes
was assassinated while sitting in a store
house. Unknown persons, supposed to be
negroes, stealthily approached the house
and one of them fred at Mr.. Rhodes. The
bullet Atruck Nh. Rhodes near the mouth
and came out below the occiput, causing
almost instant death. The fact of the
assassination was at once made known and
officers of the law went in search Of the
murderers. AS will be seen by the above
telegram, the assassins were not caught,
and we hear that they are net known
In fact, nothing as to the nature Of the
horrible assassination is known. Mr.,
Rhodes was a quiet, orderly man, highly
esteemed by all who knew him. His
mother and younger brothers live in Ger
mantown, where he had resided except
when connected with Mississippi rivel
steamers running to and from Memphis
He was a brother Of Mr.. Platt Rhodes
clerk of the steamer George w. Cheek
and Of j. w. Rhodes, who lives at Colder
Lake, Ark. These gentlemen reached tn
city this morning, and left at once for Ger
mantown to attend the burial of theii
brother, whose death is deeply regretted
by all who knew him.

Rare Visitor.

A representative of the LEDGER visited
the vast pavilion of F~orepaugh's circus on
the bluff, at noon, and took a look at
the material on the ground, and the pre-
parations for a grand show tonight and
tomorrow. The menagerie alone covers
a space of 800 feet in length by $50 in
width. 1t contains nearly forty cages of
mostly very fine and rare animals, and is
without doubt the finest collection that
ever visited the South. The common
shows that come along usually num-
Der a dozen or so cages Of
animals, and sometimes these are
too tame TO illustrate their natural charac-
teristics. The great feature of the menag-
erie, however, and the object Of your COM
m%iIsioners' visit this morning, is the hip
popotamus. We do not remember to
have seen this animal in any former trav-
cling show, and went around more 10
verify the advertisement than anything
else. But it is there and no mistake, a
thick, red-skinned beast that stirs around
and snaps his eyes as if trying to KEEP
this cold weather. There are perhaps
no children, and but few grown people in
this city, who have ever seen ar
animal of this species. The rhinoc
eros is the best imitation yet discovered
This one is a youngster only three year
old, but cost twenty thousand dollars, ant
bids fair to make his mark in the world
He is quite aristocratic, carries his owl
bath-tub, lives alone in a big wagon, all Il
himself, like a railroad king in a palace
car, and requires an extra amount of at
tention on account Of this rigorous climat,
This pachydermatous magnate is an e1
pensiye luxury for a circus, but he pay
his way and is one Of the central figure
Of the menagerie. Our commissioner WI
also permitted to see, in advance, a fin
polar bear, a horse antelope, and other fin
animals, which compare favorably wit
