Stick to Your Farm.

NoW lOIh Ablhlus
Trade in manufactured goods is
playing some queer pranks nowadays.
A man or company may work hard,
expending much time and money in
perfecting some article of general use,
and suddenly find that elsewhere some
one has been at the same work, and
can sell the results for less money. A
few years ago England was the only
country which manufactured cotton
prints for export, while the idea of any
one competing with her in her home
markets was laughed at as a bit of in
sanity; but to-day American prints
are being worn by operatives in Eng
lish cotton mills, having been found to
be prettier, better and cheaper. Now
we hear that agents of German cutters
have been to Sheffield, heretofore the
acknowledged center of the cutlery
trade of the world, and sold their goods
at prices which the home manufac-
turers could not underbid. Sheffield
will continue to make knives and seis-
sors, and no American will be foolish
enough to hope that the English print
works will be closed, but the illustra-
tions which we have given of the
fluctuations of trade will show the
American farmer that business which
he mournfully considers more profit
able than his own is subject to draw.

How Dean Cured Then,.

Cleveland Leader.l
Many congregation made it a part
of their religion to twist their necks
out of joint to witness the entrance Of
every person who passed up the aisle
of the church.
Being worried one afternoon by this
turning practice in his congregation,
Mr.. Dean stopped his sermon, and
said.
Now, you listen to me, and I'll tell
you who the people are as each one Of
them comes in.
He then went on with his discourse
until gentleman entered, when he
bawled out, like an usher;
Deacon A, who keeps a shop
over the way"
He then went on with his sermon,
when presently another man passed
into the aisle, and he gave his name,
residence and occupation; so he con
tinued for some time.
At length some one opened the door
who was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when
he cried out
"a little, old man, with drab coat
and an old white hat don't know him
look for yourselves"
The congregation was cured.

Mr.. AND Mrs. A. NJ. ARzExo both died

Mr.. AND Mrs. A. M. ARzENo both died
at No. l8 Mulberry street yesterday.
These parties left home in July remained
in Michigan, near Detroit, until the 8th
of November, and then returned to a
house that had been we'll ventilated and
every precaution taken. They had been
here five days when they were both taken
sick. Two young men had been occupy
ing the room for eight days previous to
Mr.. Arzeno's arrival. Neither they nor
any Of the other boarders in the house
have been taken as yet.
The above appeared in the LEDGER
of the 10Th inst. The morning papers
of to-day contain notice of the death
of Miss Nellie [. Arzeno, lovely
young lady and the last of the family.
She also died of yellow fever. Here
we have three unmistakable instances
of death among those who had
not been in an infected dis
trict until they came and who took
every precaution that seemed necessary
They came back to Memphis ten days
after the board of health declared that
it was safe for all to return, making nc
exceptions as to those who were in the
vicinity or elsewhere They took the
fever here as others did and from the
same kind of germs or poisor
that had existed here from the
first. How many others came
home and took the fever after the 28tl
of October will perhaps never b,
known, as it became very unpopula
all at once to call any case of sickness
yellow fever when any other nam
could be used. 1t is very remark
able that malarial and congestiv,
fevers are always so prevalent just be
fore and Immediately after an epi
demic.
1t is all over now; it is safe to tall
about it and to make few RETROSPECT
tive remarks.

WHAT GEN. CHALMERS SAYS
How the Election was Conducted in Mis-.
sissippi.

Washington Postl
General j. l.. Chalmers, member of |
congress from the Sixth district of |
Mississippi, who has been in Washing |
ton a day or two, is suffering from a
severe attack of malarial fever which
he contracted about two months ago.
His illness prevented him from max
ing a canvass Of his district, but the
result proved that this was not neces-
sary. The colored troops fought
nobly" and sent him back to congress
by very large majority. In conver-
sation with the Post yesterday, the
general was informed that certain
Radical organs had charged that the
Republicans were afraid to run a can
didate in his ditrict. ''Why, they did
run man against me, he replied.
In fact, they run two-a white and
colored man.. While was sick they
tried to work up the colored vote
against me, and they brought out Cas-
tello, one Of the unsavory carpet-bag-
gers of Natchez. Griggs, colored
man, also ran as a Republican. Cas-
tello carried only his own county, and
up in my part of the district both he
ane Griggs together didn't get enough
votes to make it worth while to count
them. The colored men walked boldly
up to the polls and voted for me.
| There was nothing on our side to ex-
excise any nyundue influence upon them.
What do you think of the admin
| istration's change Of policy?"
"What is its policy2 I've read q
| good deal about it, but confess dom
yet understand what it means. Does
| it mean that Mr.. Hayes proposes tC

he going to do it. If it means that
election frauds-if any were commit.
ted-are to be punished legally, that
is all right. If any frauds were com.
mitted against the ballot in the South
let them be punished just as such of
fenses would be punished in New

NorthernState. General Butler openly
charges that bulldozing in Massachu
setts prevented his election. Now LEI
the same course be pursued to punish
the offenders in Massachusetts that il
applied to South Carolina, and nobody
will find any fault.
