An Old DepOsitOr Turns Up.

The San Francisco Examiner says:
A man deposited 5000 with the Hiber-
MIA Bank in 1864, and was not heard
of for IA years. 1t was considered GER
tain that he was peacefully at rest IN
his grave for at least ten years; but, to
the surprise Of every body, and without
a trace of smile on his face, he walked
into the bank last month, threw
grimy-looking deposit-book on the
counter and asked how much his pile
now amounted to. 1t was found, on
balancing his book, that he had nearly
50, 700 to his credit. This depositor's
head was clear on the subject of inter-
est. He evidently put the $500 away
as nest egg only to be looked at or re-
sorted to when it had grown very much.
He was not one of the sort Of depoSltors
who keep running every month to draw
money for a new suit of clothes or to IN
dulge in any kind Of extravaganza. lie
did not mind the harangues Of loaters,
either, at any time, about our savings
banks being unsafe, but he let his S9Oo
lie until it had grown to very respect
able and useful dimensions. lie was
looked on as something of a curiosity at
the bank, the reason of which he dld
not understand. We have not learned
where this depositor kept himself
whether he has been quietly at work
here all the time or whether he has been
an exile in Alaska, at the North Pole or
in Africa, or whether he was Shipwreck-
ed on a reef or had been making pro-
longed stay at Salt River. One thing
is certain, however-he knows how to
save. He could teach the most of us
lesson on that now nearly lost art. If
the crowds who are daily eating from
the charity Of church lunch-tables had
little of our long-lost friends sense,
they would not need to descend to free
meals or to work for a dollar day.
A YOUNG woman in MOrristown,
Mimi, who had an attack Of spinal men
ingitis three years ago, since which she
has been in poor health, apparently died
recently from neuralgia in the head, and
ARRANGEMENTS were made for her funer-
al. As the hour for the funeral ap-
preached, it was thought that the body
showed signs cf life in the coffin, but the
services were nevertheless held, the min
lister announcing at their conclusion
that the corpse would not be buried un-
til the absence of life was positively YER
flied. At last accounts the burial had
not occurred.

OUR QUARANTINE.
SOME COMPLAINT ABOUT THE WAY 1T Is
MANAGED. A GOOD SUGGESTION.

SOME COMPLAINT ABOUT THE WAY 1T IS
MANAGED. A GOOD SUGGESTION.
There is some complaint among citizens
at the action Of some of the city officials
with reference to the manner in which
the quarantine at this point is being con-
Quoted. 1t is said that when a steamboat
from the south makes its appearance in the
bend Of the river below Fillmore, besides
DR.. Dunning, whose duty it is to inspect all
steamers before allowing them to come
into port, Mayor Winter Chief of Police
AFTER and not unfrequently half dozen
citizens board the tug and proceed down
the river to meet the approaching steamers;
and following close upon DR.. Cummings
heels, the whole party 90 from stem to stern
of the boat, and then, the examination over,
they all return to the city. To this
many citizens object, and declare
that the quarantine might as well be ab0n-
doncd altogether and boats be allowed to
come and 90 at will as to have dozen
men boarding every steamer that comes up
from the South, and then go about the
city and minglc with crowds of people
here there and everywhere. This is all
wrong. No person other than the quaran-
tine physician and one or two officers de-
tailed for that special duty and to be subject
TO the orders of the quarantine physician
should be permitted to board or 90 near
boats coming up from the south. In this
connection it is suggested that the quar-
antinc physician and one or two officers
should be required to take up their quarters
at Fillmore, from which point they could
reach boats more readily, and with much
less expense than under the arrangements
now in vogue. The maintenance of the
quarantine physician and his assistants
at Fillmore would not it is claimed,
cost the city any more than it does now to
employ tug to 60 down the river to meet
every boat that comes up from the south,
while the quarantine could be made more
effective and give more general satisfaction
to the people Since the fever has ma le
its appearance at Grenada, Grand Junction
and Memphis, the people here are becoming
camorous for more thorough and
stringent quarantine, and it is to be hoped
that hereafter no one but the quarantine
physician will be permitted to board boats
coming from the south.

Third. To provide for a large Sc

Fourth. To provide printed circu-

for emigrants to Tennessee, in which
all the facilities and advantages of the
farming and mining interests of our
State are explained.
Fifth. Whereas most of the foreign
emigants have not the means to buy
lands and pay the cash down, | viii

offer part of their land entirely on
time, payable in yearly installments,
and in such amounts as will be within
the reach of the earnings of the crop
raised by the purchaser ON the land
bought.
An owner ofland who has thus dis
posed of, say fifty acres of tract of
five hundred, at $40 per acre, could
surely get from the next settler SIS,
and so upward. Landowners in the
several States aforementioned have
adopted that system, and it has proved
to them a steady increase in value of
their lands, and thus benefited them
selves and their State generally.
