A MODERN BORGEA
Vine Uses Boiling Water Instead Of
Cold POisOn-A Sad Case.

Last Monday a lsboter named Thomas
Phillip Mccormack was subjected to a
merciless punishment by a boarding.
house keeper named Mrs. Dryer, who
has an establishment at Woodstock, on
the Padueah railroad, ten miles from this
city. Mccormack had a dispute about
two drinks of liquor, and the landlady,
remarking that she would make him
suffer for it, retired to the back part
0 fthe house. In less than a minute the
woman returned with a cup of boiling
water, which she dashed into McCor.
mack's face. The unfortunate man
staggered and fell to the floor, utterirg
beartrending screams, which attracted
a Rumber of persons to the house. It
was then ascertained that Mccormack
face was sealded, and both of his eyes SO
severely injured as to render him blind.
Mccormack was put 10 the
train and brought to this city,
whence he was led by a negro man to
the City Hall, where application was
made TO have him sent to the hospital
This application was cruelty refused and
the man directed to the board sf health
office, on Second street, opposite Court
Square. Upon reaching this Office Nc
Cormick made his want known, but nee.
essariIy had TO await the return Of the
hospital wagon, which bad gone to carry
a smallpox patient to the county pest
house. As the wagon did not return in
time a son Of Dr.. Brown. secretary of
the board of health, led the blind man to
the city hospital, on Union avenue. This
was a generous act, which merits more
than a passing remark, as the distance
from the health Office to the hospital is
over a mile, and the helpless condition
OF the sufferer rendered the trip both slow
and troublesome. The negro who had
conducted Mccormack to the health of
fee refused to lead him to the hospital
unless paid for it. Hence the commend.
able action Of young Mr.. Brown. Nc.
Cormack is seriously injured. one Of his
eyes being destroyed, and the vision Of
the other perhaps irreparably damaged.
Mrs. Dryer is said to have treated an
other msu in q similar manner two years
ago. About q year ago she became Of.
Tended with q man who neglected to re-
place a book in the exact place whence
he had removed it, and dealt him a
powerful blow on the head, thereby TO-.
fllcting serious injury. The man Min
chen, who fell from a hand car and was
killed some time ago, had been frequent.
ing her tavern, near which place the sad
accident occurred. There is a report
that a man, and NJ. drs. Dryer, threw
the water into E~cCormack's face. The
matter should be Investigated by the
grand Jury.

Maennerchor Hall, which was artistically
decorated with evergreens and flowers.
The ladies presented a bouquet to every

of sixteen Of our welLknoEn young

received from the ladies a handsome
basket bouquet, which was presented by
Mr.. Saufeld. Mr.. Baeker responded to
the presentation, bis remarks being
graceful and happy. The entertainment
was creditable to the PhGnix, and at.
forded unexceptionable pleasure.

There is a rumor aioat that a young
lady named Miss Maud Rogers, aged
sixteen years, mysteriously disappeared
Monday from the steamer james How
ard, on which boat she was a passenger
from st. Louis, being en- route to New
Orleans. 1t is said that the girl was
placed under charge Of Captain Pc.
gram, Of the James Howard, but
while that steamer was at the wharf
here Miss Rogers came up town,
aud has not since been seen by her
friends. The police know nothing about
Miss Rogers, whose disappearance is
somewhat strange. 1t seems that Capt.
Pegram has not taken any means to as
certain how the girl disappeared. In
one Of the morning papers appears the
following:
Information is wanted of the where.
sbouts of Miss Maud Rogers. sixteen
years Of age, brown dress and black hat.
She came down Monday from St. Louis
on the steamer James Howard, and was
to 90 to Vicksburg under Captain Pc
grams charge. She came from the
steamer into the city to do some shop
ping, and hae not been seen since.

Colonel Leon Trousdale, superintend
ent Of public instruction, has written an
important letter to Messrs. T. B. Edgipg.

committee of the Memphis board of edu
cation. The letter has the following
statement Of valuable facts:

NASHVILLE, March 81, ISIS.
Messrs. 7. B. Edgington, W, C. Folkes. n
Townsend. Committee of the Board of Edu-
cation, Memphis:
GENrLEMEN-I learn from a report
made by your committee to the Memphis
board of education, on the 'llth lust.
that you have made the mistake of sup
posing that the different County Courts
are not authorized to levy a greater sup.
Elementary county tax for the support Of
public schools than ten cents on the hun.
dred dollarN' worth of real property. If
you will allow me, | will coil your atten-
lion to chapter 81, acts 1877, the first
section Of which provides as follows:
That the State tax on every one hun.
dred dollars worth of taxable property
shall be ten cents for the year 1871 and
ten cents for the year 1878, for current
expenses only; provided, that this act
shall in no wise interfere with the levy.
ing and collection Of taxes for school
purposes as now provided by law"
Now the levying and collection Of
school taxes as now provided by law" of
course, refers to the additional tax levy
tor school purposes authorized to be
made by the respective county courts,
by the act commonly known as the pub
lie school Law" passed in 1873, approved
March 10, 1873, which provides that this
additional levy 'bhall not exceed the en-
tire State tax" The entire State tax al
that time was forty cents on the one hun.
dred dollars worth of property, aud it
cannot be doubted hat the legislature,
in the above proviso in the act of 1877,
intended to maintain intact the right OF
the counties TO still levy "a supplements
tary tax to keep up the schools five
months in the year. and they may levy
a tex mot to exceed the entire State tax
Of forty cents to prolong the schools
beyond the Ave months, as the act of
1873 expressly authorizes. They nav
also levy an additional poll aud privilege
tax for this purpose, as is also expressly
authorized; aud | would here suggest
that the levying Of an additional Doll.
tax mot 10 exceed the State tax on one
is especially called for, inasmueh
as a very large majority of the tene6ei.
aries of our public schools are not in a
condition to pay any other tax; and it
would seem to be q matter of equity that
they should, at least, contribute q poll
lax toward the support of schools. Such
an additional tax in Shelby county, or in
any county, would raise a considerable
revenue for the purpose, il a strict
enforcement Of its collection were oh.

old gentleman should know. He did
know, and a check for more than a thou
