 A. J. Wheeler, editor of the Masonic Jewel, of Memphis, Tenn, is no more. In his noble work of self.sacriiice, soothing the burning brow of the fever -parched victims of the seourge, he, himself fell into the clutches of the merciless pest, and yielded up to God as noble q spirit as ever devoted itself to the cause of humanity. Memphis mournes him as one of her irrepara- ble losses, and thousands throughout the land will share her sorrow.
