LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Prevention and Cure.

EDITORS APPEAL.-You report me as say
ing. at the citizens meeting, few days ago,
that g the Howard association was beneath
contempt, because it would not give up its
money for sanitary purposes. | have long
regarded many of the members of that body
as personal friends, of whom | could speak
only IN terms OF kindness, even did l not
know how unselfshly they discharged
sad and sacred duties in 1873, when
death was lurking in so many homes.
To have spoken harshly of an organi-
cation that has strewn the hard paths
of the sick and needy with comforts and bless
ings, would be to avow myself the enemy of
charity. | was not criticising the Howard as
ISOLATION, as body, but was commenting on

Is about to begin. Prepare for it by buying
some of the seamless sacks and sacking for
cotton pickers which are now offered for sale
by Wormeley g. Goodman, at No. 338 Front
street. These goods are made in the best
manner and of the most substantial materi-
ais, and, if properly cared for, will last for
two seasons. They have been used for the
past two years by many planters, with entire
satisfaction, and are now being sold at re-
duced prices. Cali and examine them.

The executive and finance committee,
representing the citizens sanitary commits
sion find that it will be utterly impossible for
them to call upon all persons who may wish
to contribute. They therefore earnestly re-
quest all parties who desire to aid them in
their efforts to prevent the introduction of
yellowtever into our city to call at the cotton
exchange and leave their names and sub
scriptions with Mr.. John S. Toof, secretary of
the chamber, or Mr.. C. P. Hunt, secretary of
the auxiliary fund.

closed the concerts given at Deuel. park by

ton that the music was Of the highest order,
and by far the best of the kind that has ever
been given in this city or State. We find it
almost impossible to pick out our favorte
among the many perfect gems that were CIV
en-, but will say this-no cultivated lover OF
music could have listened to the Selections
from Martha" without admitting that that
one piece wac worth the price of admission.
We hope TO see the day when our citizens
will be able to boast Of such an organization
as that we listened to last night, and Mem
phis has indeed reason to be proud Of her or
chestra and brass band, for they are not only
cultivated musicians, bat gentlemen whom it
is a pleasure 10 know"

Newspaper Lies.

A newspaper Is q tremendous speaking trum-
pet. What q great paper says goes laundering
and echoing round the world. Everybody must
hear and attend. But q lie can thunder quite as
uproariously as the truth. And as the nearer or
the reader cannot know the motive Of the speaker,
who may be interested in making a lie as sonor-
Gus as possible. the hearer must be on his guard
constantly, not TO believe merely because there is
such an overwhelming noise.
This Is especially to be remembered now when
almost daily the gentle reader viii see in his pa
per some important statement in regard to some
important person which Is wholly untrue. It is
made generally with detail and precision. 1t has
the air of all the other information in the col
umn. 1t is elbow to elbow with an undeniable
truth. There is apparently no more reason for
not believing it than for discrediting everything
else in the paper. Time, and place, and person,
and remark are all quietly and -circumstantially
told, and it is a lie. Or, again, it appears under
a slight veil of insinuation. The mischief done
by these two methods Of SANDER, the one direct
and the other indirect, is incalculable; and the
with the gentle reader-in fact, with the respect
ed unit of the community who is now glancing
at these words.
There is no supply where there is no demand.
Such lies would not be told if they were not read
as news-that is, ms truth-by the gentle reader.
The remedy lies, therefore, with him, and it is
very simple. 1t is merely that he shall confde
in character. He has only to trust his knowl-
edge against a cloud of lies, and the cloud will
cease to form. The character of the press does
not depend upon the editor and the reporter only,
but quite as much upon the reader who makes
every kind of public life more difficult by believ-
ing whatever an irresponsible and anonymous
writer may choose to say.-Edsy Char, an Har-
per'S MAGAZINE.

Sin of Suicide.

In the AdUOcate, of which CounsellorShupe is
the editor, the organ of one wing of he Labor
and Greenback party, we find a discussion as to
the causes Of suicide. This crime has realty in
creased in the United States within a cry recent
period, and the remarks made by this paper may
have a real truth at the bottom. Crtainly the
Christian philanthropist will think tenn worthy
of profound consideration
1.-The suicidal mania is spreading beyond all
precedent, and it becomes the duty d the moral
list, the phIlanthropist, and the tatesman to
study the subject. The barriers tc self-destruc-
ton seem to be giving way. The great protec-
ton in a society like ours, withits high eleva-
tons and deep depressions, has beea in the
profound religious convictions of our people that
suicide is a pronounced sin, abbrrent to Chris
tianity and severely denounced in the Word of
God. In this age Of free thinling, scientific in
vestigation, and universal criticism, one by one
the great truths contained n the Bible, the
corner stone of our religious cystem, are assaiIed
or doubted, and tie faith whi.h has been handed
down from generation to generation questioned.
The consequences are inevitable. Destroy the
faith of men in the Bible and the great truths it
teaches, remove the restraints OF religion and
teach anlihilatiol, and you will reap, without
the aid of insanit!, a harvest of suicides that will
astOnish the worH.'
