An exchange says: The pathetic side
Of this yellow fever scourge will never
be fully known. When we learn that
every white person in Memphis expects
it, and the probabilities are that it will
spread from its present localities on over
the sunny south, and when we remember
too, tho dread with which it is regarded,
and the family ties which it breaks, and
the mental horror which it inspires, and
the unspeakable suffering it compels, and
the frightful mortality it produces, and
the dreadful desolation it inficts in the
community, and then multiply the evil,
and augment the effects, so that the
whole southern section is under the saff-
ron pail Of the pestilence that walketh
in darkness, and the destruction that
wasteth at MONDAY, perhaps faint idea
of the unspeakable wretchedness of the
poor sufferers may be obtained. Oh, it
is pititu To read the wall of the dying,
trace the tears of the griefstricken, as
but dimly outlined in the southern pa
pers, makes ones blood rush through
ones veins like frozen bolt. Give
ye who know not one days difference
from another, secure in your oontentment
of happiness and peace Give, ye who
know, or can imagine the distress of
those who verify sit in the darkness of
terror and the shadow of death Give,
give, give, and blessed be the money
that finds its way to those who scan the
heavens, and see only the pittiless ar
rows of an infuriato destroyer piercing
the air for their destruction !! There is
a subimity Of charity set over against
this pathos of helplessness which fills
the heart with admiration, exalts ones
estimate, and gives him new view of
mans humanity to man. Give, and, in
giving, do rs you would be done by!

John I. Henderson of Fulton, Ark
writes to the St. Louis Republican to
say that he has discovered a certain cure
for hog cholera, He gets an ounce OF
strycnine, divides it into eight equal parts
and adds to each part one half teaspoon
fnl of calomel, and puts the mixture in
to sweet milk or anything else that the
hogs will eat. One part will serve for
twenty hogs. and will cure them, Mr..
Henderson says, in any stage Of disease.
If any of our Ripley county farmers has
tried this remedy, or know of a better
one, we would be glad to hear from
them.
