Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
CLARKsvILLE, Tenn, Sept. H.
AS it has been asserted by some
persons that the yellow fever has
made its appearance at Erin, Tenn,
and that several deaths have oc-
Cured from it's visitation, it may
not be altogether uninteresting to
many of the readers of the Courier
Journal to know something about
this little town.
1t is situated in a narrow valley
at the east base of Tennessee Ridge,
on the Memphis and Louisville
Railroad, ten miles east of Tennes-
see river, and twenty-eight miles
west of .ClarksVille. Before the war
there were only two or three fami-
lies living in what is now embraced
as the town. McWilliams branch
runs through it-a small stream
which empties into the west fork of
Wells creek, short distance below
the place. 1t is indebted to the
railroad for its existence, as it is not
probable that any town would ever
have been built there if the railroad
had been located at another and
more distant crossing of the ridge.
To the energy and enterprise of
some of its leading citizens it owes
its growing prosperity and its inn
portance as a central point of traffic
to the people living in wide extent
of country around it.
Hemmed in by high ridges each
side of it, covered with primitive
timber, a neVer-failing stream run
ming through it, and here and there
a marshy place in the valley and a
luXuriant underground everywhere,
the exclusion Of the rays of the sun
from so great a surface would,
likely, cause its atmosphere to be
damp; and its impurities, arising
from the decomposition of rank
vegetable growth, cause the fevers
which generally prevail to a greater
or lesser extent in this little valley
and its neighbOrhOod, as well as in
the Cane creek valley on the west
side of the ridge.
But we do not believe that Yellow
Jack has ever shown or ever will
show himself at Erin, unless he de-
velOps there in a person coming
from an infected region. He seeks
lower elevations and different at
mOspheric conditions than can be
found there.
l give you the elevations above
mean gulf tide at several places be-
tween the Kentucky State line and
Memphis, and you will see that they
are at an altitude considerablyabove
the points where the yellow fever
has yet appeared in epidemic form:

Mark Twain's lEusket.

Mark Twain tells the following
story related by fellow passenger
who, bantered about his timidity,
said he had never been scared
since he had loaded an old Queen
Annie musket for his father once,
whereupon he told the following:
You see, the old man was trying
to learn me to shoot blackbirds and
beasts that tore up the young corn
and such things, so that / could be
of some use about the farm, be-
cause l wasn't big enough TO do
much. My gun was single bar
relied shot gun, and the old man
carried an old Queen Annie musket
that weighed ton, and made re-
port like thunder clap and kicked
like a mule. The old man wanted
me TO shoot the old musket some
times, but | was afraid. One dny,
though, got her. down and took
her TO the hired man and asked
him to load her up, because IL was
out i'm the field. Hiram said:
"DO you see those marks on the
stOck-an Y and V, on each side Of
the queens crown? Well that
that's her load"
"But how much POWDER"
"Oh," he says, "it don't matter;
put i'm three or four handfuls."
So loaded her up that way, and
it was an awful charge had
sense enough to see that-and start
ed out. | leveled her on n good
many blackbirds, but every time /
went to pull the trigger ! shut my
eyes and winked. / was afraid Of
her kick. Towards sun-down
/ fetched up to the house, and there
was the old man waiting on the
porch.
'aBeen out hunting, have YEP"
"Yes sir" says /
"What did you kill"
"Didn't kill anything, sir--didn't
shoot her Off; was afraid she'd
kick-T knew blamed well she
would"
"Gimme that gun ~ the old man
said, as mad as sin.
And he took aim at sapling on
the other side Of the road, and be-
gan to drop back out Of danger, and
the next moment heard the earth
quake and saw the Queen Annie
whirling end over end in the air,
and the old man spinning around
on one heel, with one leg up and
both hands on his jaw, and the
bark flying from the old sapling
like there was hail storm. The
old mans shoulder was set back
three inches, his jaw turned black
and blue, and he had 10 lay up for
week. Cholera or nothing else
can scare me the way / was scared
that time.

PARIS IN GENERAL.

Paris is by far the loveliest, pref
tiest and most attractive city / ever

SO many have styled it the "Queen
City" of the world. In metropoli-

tectural workmanship, blending
beauty and symmetry so gracefully
together; in making the busy
thOroughfare of the city SO many
magnificent drives and walks, with
beautiful shady avenues running

commingled with such taste and

ment by Egypt in 1882, erected in
'36. This obelisk is one huge mon.
olith of reddish granite, weighing
100000 pounds. 1t ornamented the
palace of the kings of Egypt al
Thebes about l 800 years before the
Christian Era. To transport and
erect it here cost $400, 900.
AS you stand in the Champs
Elysees, to the right and to the left
of the Egyptian monument are two
magnificent fountains, one on each
side, in full play all the time. Then
outside the fountains surrounding
this large open space are eight
splendid statues, representing the
eight principal towns of France. In
front and beyond the space occupied
by this monument and these statues
opens out the Garden of the Tuile-
ries, lovely little park and garden
right in the heart of the city, with
some of the finest retail stores sur
rounding it probably in the world.
Some 500 or 600 yards through the
Garden of the Tuileries and you
come to the Palace of the Tuileries
(nOw in ruins); then, adjoining, is
the magnificent Palace and galleries
of the Louvre then you can turn to
the right or left and ramble over
the city till its very magnificence
will almost bewilder you. A stroll
or a drive along the Champs Elysees
in the afternoon from 5 to s presents
a magnificent spectacle with its en-
tire length filled with fine carriages.
VERSAILLES.
Last week | took a drive with an
excursion party of English and
American visitors out to Versailles
pronounced Vair-saigh), some II
miles out from Paris. There were
Y of us in the party; three large
four-horse coaches, a guide and in
terpreter with us. The Grand Pal
ace, the Trianon Palace, the Park
and Garden of Versailles received
at the hands of Louis XIV. the
most lavish expenditure that any
palace and park of Europe has ever
received from anyone. The picture
galleries of the Grand Palace cover
a space of walls amounting to six
miles in length. The park and |
gardens are in keeping with the
palace. The display of waterwOrks
and fountains in the park is the
grandest in the world. The foun-
tains there are so immense that they |
are played but once a month, an
hour at a time. 1t costs over 81, 900 |
to play them one hour. The muse
UNI at the Grand Palace is said to
be unparalleled in Europe.

These elevations may be regarded
as reliable, as they are taken from
the location LeUeI notes of the engi-
neers, checked repeatedly on the
construction of the road.
High water mark at Memphis is
above the Gulf 220 feet; railroad
depot ground, 230 feet; Brownsville
(57 miles,, 270 feet.
In the progress of the fever up
the Mississippi Valley, it has made
its appearance at many places on
the river, and along the line of the
railroad, and in the country east OF
it, but, at no point, as far as my in
vestigatiOns have extended, has ii
appeared as an epidemic at an ele-
walton of three hundred and fifty
feet above the mean gulf tide.
On the New Orleans and Jackson
Railroad, it swept around Brook
hOVen, one hundred and twenty
eight miles from New Orleans, and
elevated over five hundred feet
above the Gulf land, and attacked
Canton, two hundred and six miles
distant, and Grenada, two hundred
and ninety-four, and Holly Springs,
three hundred and siXty-nine miles.
From Holly Springs to Jackson,
Tenn, is seventy-two miles; from
Jackson to Milan is twenty-three
miles, and from Milan to Paris is
thirty-eight miles.
AT all the points in its route north
where it has made halt in its pro-
gress, it has evidently been checked
in its desolating course by the in
creased altitude of the country above
the gulf level.
The position taken by your dis
tinguished citizen and SdUas1t, DIR.
L. S. Bell, in regard to the spread
of the fever is unquestionably true,
and has its demonstration in the
facts now being developed.
Resting our faith in the belief that
Bronze Jack has a line in altitude
which he can never surmOunt, that
this line is fixed by the natural law,
and that your beautiful city is far
above it, as we'll as our own, we
need not feel that we are in any
danger Of visitation of the dread
full scourge in the form of an cpl
