There is an increasing belief here
that a war is inevitable between
this country and Mexico. The
Greasers, far from making an effort
to suppress thieving excursions from
their country into ours, rather seem
to grow worse. Only night before
last a band of forty rushed across
the Rio Grande and riddled a good
citizens house with bullets. They
have recently acquired a particular
contempt for everything American,
and will henceforth show their dis
positions more plainly than they
have in the past. Their renewal
of hatred is because of General Nc
Kennels recent crossing Of the Rio
Grande with several companies of
his troops. AS an evidence Of the
manner in which they look upon
US "poor white trash" your CORE

THE best news in regard to yell
low fever is no news. There is no
yellow fever in Memphis or within

prevent its appearance. People who
are away need not be uneasy about
Memphis. The health of the city

of a long hot summer is calculated
to weaken the system and reduce
its power to resist disease. Hence

THE Avalanche says; "The Dem

the funding act and funding policy
that fixed on the people of Tennes-

more Republicans, in proportion to

for the funding act than Democrats!

VALUE OF COTTON SEED.

Among the various products pecu-
liar to the South is that Of cotton seed.
Hitherto it has only been considered
valuable as manure-as it is equally
valuable for every variety Of soil and
production. 1t is now however found
to be valuable for other purposes, be-
ing excellent feed for cattle, of which
they are very fond. The seed when
pressed yields q very fine quality Of
oil, which is about to be introduced as
a substitute for Linseed or paint oil.
materially reducing the price of that
article. The cake or OIL CAKE as it is
called-is exported to Europe or used
at home for feed or as manure, as there
is nothing superior to it as such. It is
not improbable that Northern capital
and enterprise will reap golden har-
vest from this product, which the
south is unable at present to take adj
vantage of for want of CASH.

The Best Cow for Small Farms.

It is not supposed that COWS kept on
a small farm are placed there for the
purpose Of raising calves for sale.
They are placed there for the butter
they produce. The question is often
asked, (Which shall they be, blooded
or scub stock?" The question is easily
answered. Keep only such stock as is
best adapted for the purpose. Our
opinion, and also that of the principal
dairymen of the country is, that the
Jersey-commonly called Attorney
is, above all others, the best butter cow.
They are easily kept, very docile-a
point not to be Overlooked-and beau
tiful, giving milk of superior richness,
from which is produced fne-colored,
solid butter, having an equal texture
and flavor. Butter made from such
milk has been known to keep, when
placed in dry-not cold-cellar, with
out the use Of ice, and when taken out
was in a hard, firm condition, and was
then sold twelve TO eighteen cents a
pound higher than the best ordinary
butter. The cost of Jerseys is not
much more than for scrubs, and they
will more than make up the difference
in price in few months.-Liye Stock

A little romance, good deal of pride

they call it love. "Of all the sad
things in this world, the saddest is the
leaf that tells what leve meant TO be,
and the turning of the leaf to tell
what love has been. One all blossoms,
the other ashes; one all smiles and
gladness, the other all tears and sad
ness. Nothing is so beautiful as the
temple that love builds; nothing is SO
miserable as the service of that temple
if God be not in it. If there be any
thing that young welded love should
have as it's first vision, it should be a
vision Of a ladder between the earth
and heaven, and the angels of God as
cending and descending. and God over
all blessing it. Then there is hope.
