PHIs.
A Corinth, Mississippi. subscriber writes US
letter, dated the twelfth, in which he says:
There was a report in town this evening that
there were twenty-five cases of yellow-fever
IN Memphis, and fifteen deaths In twenty
hours after the first case had appeared. The
report set the city council to thinking, and
they concluded that the best thing to be done
was to clean the city and establish a quaran-
tine against Memphis and New Orleans. No
freight will be received. Two hogsheads of
sugar from New Orleans, consigned to a gro
ceryhouse here, were not allowed to be put
off, and were sent north. If fellow violates
the councils regulations they will fine him
twenty-five dollars and kick him out of town.
The town is thoroughly cleansed and in a
splendid condition. Every effort will be
made to keep the fever out, and it can be
done"

Miles ON Miles 0f winged Ants.

Yesterday afternoon spectacle wa;
witnessed by DansyillianS resembling
one of four years ago in character, but
greatly exceeding it in magnitude
Clouds Of small-winged ants blackened
the atmosphere in perpendicular streaks,
extending north and south an apparent
distance Of five or six miles, and per-
pendicularly from near the earth about
a mile upward, and moved rapidly from
east to west with the wind from near 4
O'Clock until it was too dark to see them,
so that the vast insect flock must have
been over 75 miles in length Many of
them settled down in the village, very
thickly in spots, but not nearly SO thick
ly as in 1874. The most of them were
very small, but many of them were as
large as a large ant, and some of those
large ones were without wings, the
wings probably having dropped off. Oc-
casionally one of the clouds, q few feet
in thickness, would be seen moving
rapidly downward as well as
westward, while others would keep
light on. We have found no Dansvil-
lian who recollects any phenomena of
the kind except the one of 1874, which
occurred September s OF that year, ear
ly in the evening.-DaASvalle (N ~

Legal Advertising in Cooperative
Newspapers.

An important decision, touching the
legality of advertising in newspapers
print d on the cooperative plan, has
oeens rendered by the New Jersey
courts. A mortgage sale was adver-
tised in newspaper printed on this
plan, and the property was sold as ad-
Vertised. The owner of the property
protested against the proceedings, on
the ground that the advertisement
thereof was not legal, because the
newspaper printing it was a so-called
"patent inside" A petition to set
aside the sale was accordingly filed in
chancery. The petition fully and square
ly raised the issue as to whether news
paper using "patent outside" print
ed outside the State, was newspaper
printed and published in the State, in
which land sales might be legally ad-
vertised. The question was fully
argued before the Vice-Chancellor, at
Newark, N. j., and a decision rendered
THAT such an advertisement was legal
and sufficient, and was both a substan-
tial and literal compliance with the
statutory requirements" and the mo-
ton to set aside the sale was denied
and petition dismissed.

TIE PAINTERS SCARE-CROW.

Miss Arabella yandyke Brown
Had small studio In the town,
Where, all the winter blithe and gay,
She drew and painted day by day.
She envied not the rich. Her art
And work made sunshine in her heart.
Upon her canvas, many scene
OF summers past, i'll golden green
Was wrought again. The snow and rain
Pelted upon her window pane;
But she within her cOZy room
With Joyous toll dispelled the gloom;
And, sometimes, in an undcrtOne,
Sang TO herself there, all alone.
But when the spring and summer came,
Her stu0io grew so dull and tame
she sought the rural sOlitudes
OF winding streams and shady woods;
For painters work contract q faint
Unless from Natucrs self they paint.
So out Miss Arabella went,
To sketch from Nature fully bent
1t was lovely summers day;
\ lovely scene before her lay;
Her folding stool and box she took,
And, seated in quiet nook,
Her wnite umbrella DER her head
(Llkc tall giant mushroom spread)
Began TO paint, when, 10! anoise
She heard. \ troop of idle boys
Came flOckiug round her, rough and rude.
Some o'er her shoulders leaned; some stood
In front OF her. and cried paint me!-

Some laughed some shouted. "What set!
Said AraUelia, in pet:
"And no policeman within hail
TO send these ruftian imps 10 Jail"
In fine, she could not work, so went
st aight homeward in great discomfort.
she had no brother to defend her,
Nor country cousin to attend her.
A plan occurred to her next day
To keep these idle scamps away.
And easel by her side she placed,
And over it she threw In haste
A hat and cloak:-and there it stood
In bold and threatening attitude.
The rabble at distance spied
The scare crow standing by her side;
And, thinking twas the town police,
They left Miss A. V. Brown in peace

Sometimes, an innocent pretense
Is the best means of self defense,
And il a scare crow keeps the peace,
Whta need to summon the police?

A Sword with a History.

The Charlottesville (Va.) Cbronicl'
says: When r. T. W. Duke entered
the Confederate service in 1861 as Cap
tain of Company A, Nineteenth Virgins
Regiment, he carried with him an old
sword which, according to the family

the Virginia troops under Washington,
in Braddock's army. At the battle of
Sailors Greek, April 6, 1868, Colonel
Duke, then commanding a regiment in
Custis Lees division, was, with his en-
tire command, captured by the Federal
troops. The Colonel surrendered to a
Lieutenant Cronert, in New York
regiment, and requested his captor TO
preserve his sword, acquainting him
with its value as family relic. Captor
and captured then exchanged addresses
and parted, the Colonel to remain some
months in Johnson's Island Prison.
Since the war several efforts have
been made to find out the ColOnel's
captor, but it was only a few months
ago that his present address was OBJ.
tanned, and letter received from him
contained the information that the
sword was still in his possession. Aftel
some negotiations the sword was for.
warded, and is now in the Colonel's pos
session.
1t is a quaint and singular looking OLD
weapon, trangular-shaped, having thre,
cutting edges, solid silver hilt am
guards, is of the style known as dres
sword Of the time of Charles ard Queer
Anne, and has doubtless danced at th
side of some gay cavalier in the days
when "Church, King and State" was
the cry. 1t followed its owner to tie
Old Dominion, and paced minues
with his descendant at court balls It
Williamsburg, ran away with him It
Braddock's defeat, saw the Revolution
of 1776, and now after being drawn H.
to four years contest for the "Lot

heart, has again returned to whom it
belongs, where, we trust, it will reman

DR.. Walker, the original owner of tie
sword, was quite distinguished mann
the early history of this and Louisa
Counties, representing both of thee
counties time after time in the House Of
Burgesses. He was the guardian Of
Thomas Jefferson and intimately con
nected in public and private relations
with Washington. He was MARRIED
twice, his wives being Misses Thorntm,
first cousins of Washington. He hid
many important offices in Virginia, Je-
ing a member of the conventions of 115
and 1889. At one time he owned he
land upon which Charlottesville is now
situated, and he gave the public squire
to the county to build the Court House.
1t is said he could ride from GordMs-
vile to the Ohio River and sleep every
night of his journey on his own grond.
He is buried at Castle Hill, the resideace
of his granddaughter, Mrs. William C.
Rives. DR.. Walker left numerous de-
scendants in this county, the Rires,
