SIerited Honor.

During the yellow fever Louis Daltrof,,
chief ofthe Howard burial corps, evidenced
a fearless conduct and noble duty that
must always challenge the admiration and
command the respect of Memphians. He
was unexceptionably true, faithful and
good in the discharge of his terrible duties.
An evidence of this is shown by the fol-
lowing merited letters of commentator
from ex-Mayor John johnson and Presi-
dent Langstatf, of the Howard Associa-
ton:
HOWARD ASSOCIATION, MEMPHIS.
Tenn November 10, 1878. Louis Dali

ton.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November Is, 1873.
Mr.. Louis Daltrotf-Dear Sir: 1t affords
me more than ordinary pleasure TO bear

tending to the burial of the Howard
Dead" was the most disagreeable of any.

and in rain and sunshine.
With my best wishes for your success

Adams streets. Two young men were
playing chess in his office. The game was
interrupted by this earthquake, which
caused the young men to abandon bishop
rock and queen in order to escape check
mate, That earthquake, Colonel
Avery says, was not as fearful.
as the one last night. This we
readily believed, although a gentleman
who was enjoying a coterie of a number
of friends said DO not be alarmed, it is
nothing but some one moving furniture
in the room below" We are inclined
to think that Satan was moving
his furniture in the kingdom below.

The Christian Brothers College has an
able corp Of nine professors who are pre-
pared 10 gyealh necessarv attention to
the various departments in the College,
| Young men who desire TO continue and
complete their course in English litera-
ture, the higher mathematics, the Greek
and Latin classics, bookkeeping or any of
the branches included in the classical, sci
entifc or commercial courses viii find it
to their greatest advantage to become stu
dents in this institution of high repute.
The intermediate and preparatory CLASSES
are designed for boys averaging from ten
to fifteen or sixteen years Of age where
they can receive instruction in all branches
according to age and capacity, The
primary department is for boys averaging
from six TO ten years of age, where the
greatest care is bestowed on their carly
training. The branches of music and
drawing are likewise greatly encouraged
and carefully taught by the Christian
Brothers, SO that those desiring instruc-
ton on the flute, violin or piano, or a
course Of linear or free hand drawing will
find the best of opportunities at the Col
lege. In addition to the most careful and
thorough instruction the Christian Broth
ers use every possible care to form their
pupils to excellent morals and gentle
manners, cleanliness and neatness in per-
sonal appearance, economy and care in
the use of clothing, books, paper, etc. In
fact they include every element that goes
to make up such an education as the most
exacting of parents can desire for their
sons. The terms are very moderate, as
can readily be perceived by consulting
their circular,

faithfully. The committee reported that
they had not time to examine the vouch-

A Nest or RattleSnakeS.

A nest of rattlesnakeS was recent
ly found 10y MI. Mcpherson, Tex
as farmer. Being in quest Of fire.
wood, he cut down q tree on his
place, which fell across q large
brush pile, In few moments af-
terward Ire heard a rattling noise,
and turning saw seven or eight
larEe rattleSnakes within fifteen
feet of him. The tree in falling had
caught one of the snakes, burying
part Of its oody in the ground,
which caused it to writhe and strike
about. Several Of its companions,
doubtless not knowing what to make
of such proceedings, attacked and
soon succeeded in killing it, after
which they directed their attention
to Mr.. Mcpherson, who, seeing the
fix lie was in, ran to a neighboring
house, and getting a gun, returned.
Everything was quiet, and none, save
the dead snake, was to bee seen.
Upon throwing a stick into the
brush, however, he brought out
eleven snakes. when he fired, wouL d.
ing TWO of them, and the Others at
tackled them as they had the first.
and finished them. While reload
ing his gun, he heard a rattle be-
hind him, and, in aiming To jump
out OF the way, jumped near one Of
the snakes, and was bitten in the
ltft leg. Tying his handkerchief
above the bite to pEeye'.t the too
free circulation of the poison in his
system, he made for the house. The
wound began to swell rapidly, while
he was at The same time suffering
great pain. A quart OF whisky was
procured at Il neighhoring house,
which he drank without the slight
est Inconvenience. 1t produced
very little signs OF intoXication
The wound was sucked By his heroic
wife, and the venom removed. At
last accounts he Was doing very
well, and 10 fear is entertained OF
his recovery.

COST OF T2AYEL.

Col. Forney says The cost Of
ocean travel contrasts favorably
with the price On our railroads, the
fare being for first class cabin pas
Senger on the Illinois. which in
cludes everything but wines and
liquors land it is noticeable that
very little of these is consumed bv
our company, is $73 to 500, accord
ing to cabin accommodations, or
$40 to $iS0 for the "round trip"
The distance from Philadelphia to
San Francisco by rail is about the
same-1,000 miles-and a ticket
costs about $3.50. exclusive Of sleep.
ing accommodations and food. Add
these last, and the expense is con-
siderably over 5000, unless you are
your own commissary. The differ,
enee between the time by land and
water is one-half, in favor OF the
former. 1t takes over six days OF
rail to tie Pacific coast, and the
average time to Liverpool by the
Illinois is ten to eleven days. But
the contrast does not end here. 1t
costs twice as much to live in San
Francisco as 1t does in Europe to
the ordinary traveller. l ought to
add that while there is but one fare
for on the railroad, there are three
fares on the Illinois-$75 to 500 for
the cabin, $45 for the intermediate,
and $2S for the steerage. Many
persons shrink from a sea voyage.
They dread the sickness and the
danger /; but when We recollect that
Captain Shackford has carried his
ship 210,0 miles since March 5,
1874, and has made thirty-two voy-
ages and a half, of sixty-five passa-
ges, with little or ho illness, aud as
safely as if he was conducting
train on land, the reason for such
fears is slight indeed.

I'm Wow OF the attractions of the

that l have secured four furnished
