Q TENN AnOrICf On 1879


The Sisters of st. Mary are engaged in
visiting the sick and the distressed, and will
carefully distribute whatever means may be
placed In their hands. Money for the relief
of the sick and the starving, quinine, stlmu-
lants and clothing are urgently needed. Re-
mittances and packages may be forwarded to
Sisters Of st. Mary, No. $50 Poplar street,
Superior, st. Mary's school, Memphis, Ten
nessee.
A week ago yesterday | commended to the
protection of Almighty God two of the Sis
tiers of st. Mary just as they were starting
out on their return to Memphis, whence so
many that could were fleeing. Two weeks
before they had come on to New York for
needed rest and refreshment. News came of
the breaking out of the fever. Without de-
lay or hesitation they went back to the post
of duty and of danger, and it may be of
death
have varied experience, and have wit
messed much, but | have seen no Drawer sight
than that which | saw In Varick street In
front of the Trinity inirmary, when, just at
evening, blessed those sisters sitting alone
In the carriage which was to take them to
the train for the journey to Memphis.
Is it much for US who are to come, please
God, into no such peril of death, to ELL their
hands with such things as they need for the
sick and the dying and the destitute?
If it be more convenient send to me what
ever You will, god friends, and there shall
be no delay in its reaching the sisters.

OUR ORPHANS TO BE CARED FOR.
Huntsville Independent, 29th: On Tuesday
last Dr. Dement, received a dispatch from
Captain Grant, at Memphis, asking if the
city authorities of Huntsville would take
charge of and support until the first of No
vember the orphans of the Orphans Home at
Memphis, numbering about forty children.
The matter was brought promptly to the at
tention of our city government yesterday, and
under the advice and suggestion of the board
of health the mayor and aldermen consented
that the children of the Orphans Home should
be brought here, on condition that they re-
main outside the city limits for fourteen
days; at the end of which time they could
be brought into the city and be permitted to
occupy the old Donegan hotel, near the hotel.
The city treasury is just now depleted, and
owing to this fact can itself give no pecunlary
aid, but has by resolution appointed COM
mittee of its citizens to canvass for contribu-
tons of food, money and clothing. The COM
mittee appointed for this purpose consists OF
the following named persons: First ward
Mrs. W. B. Leedy and Jere Murphy; second
ward--Mrs. G. G. Sale and ). 5. Darwin;

Third-Io minister to the dying.


Fifth-To take Immediate care of the chill
dren who are made orphans by the ravages
of the fever. These little ones cannot at once
be taken into the church home, and it is our
wish to establish comfortable refuge, where
they may be detained and cared for until it
is safe to transfer them to the home.
To meet all these requirements we have
absolutely nothing, and there is nothing we
look for unless the hearts of our brethren are
touched by this plain statement of our wants.
We are not justified in looking for any
thing less than a prolonged and trying strug-
gle with the fever in its worst form, accom-
panied by It's most heartrendng incidents.
In this view we offer an appeal for aid from
all who are able to give US help.

"A special to the Nashville american
from Murfreesboro, dated August 9th, SAYS
DIR. Howell Hopson, of Memphis, died at
the residence of Mr.. E. L. Jordan, of this
place, of yellow-fever, at half past eight last
night. DIR. Hopson was an old practicing
physician of Memphis, left there last Thurs
day morning, to visit his sister, Mrs. E. L.
Jordan, of this city. About Friday noon he
was taken sick with what was then supposed
to be a case of maarlal fever He gradually
grew worse, and yesterday his physicians,
Drs. NJ. Ransom, J. Z. Wendell and ]. f.
Byrn. became convinced that his was a case
of yellow-fever. He died last night at half
past eight, and was buried at nine o'clock
this morning, aged sixty-fve years. He had
the yellow-fever in Memphis in 1855. The
residence of Squire Jordan is one of the
highest and most secluded portions of our
burg. which, in the opinion of Drs. Ransom
and Wendell, precludes all ideas of infection
Oar city Is IN fine sanitary condition. and
no fears whntever are entertained of the
spread of the dreaded scourge IN this COM
munlty.
The Somerville Falcon, of Thursday,
says: "Our authorities should see to it that
no running back and forth from Somervllle
to Memphis is permitted. Let those who are
here remain; or, If they will return to Mem
phis, then let them stay there. A regulation,
too prohibiting persons from coming to our
town who have remained in Memphis until
the whole city is infected, and until thew
probably have the poison already in their
systems, ready to be developed after their
! arrival here, would not be amiss Most of
those coming to Somerville at this time are
colored people, who have renamed as long as
| they dare, and are now fockiDg to country
| towns. 1t is said that number of them are
| quartered In the northern part of town, and
hat this number is being increased by the
arrival of every train. 1t is also stated that
there are some parties here who are going to
Memphis every day and back at night, but
leave the train where it stops short distance
from town and walk in, IN order to conceal
the fact that they are pursuing this course
We do not vouch for the truth of this; but if
so, our authorities should put stop to it.
They should be required to stay either here or
in Memphis "

GONG TOTnE COUNTGY.-We have
of late heard Of several business men
who are preparing TO goto the country
to live, being satisfied that business
is wocfully overaore in town, and the
chances for making money few and
far between, PEI baps as time rolls a
long, Others will become CONVINCED OF
the wisdom of such changes, ard that
before the close of the year many will
follow the example. A lew years ago
town property was HIGH and in demand
and lands in the county were drug
on the, market. Now the reverse is
the case, and this is the best visible
sign ,nsurng better times in the future,
but that future is certainly one, and
perhaps two or three years OF. Those
who look for better times in a few
months will look in vain, and they may
lust as we'll understand it at once. No
enc thing can bring about satls'act-
DRY change, aud the hoped for change
will not be sudden, but gradual, even
after the beginning -. Sta 'esmdn.

out of the Presidency. 1t is now
charged that leading Sou thern polili-
clans combined with Hewitt, the cha'f'
man of the National Democratic COM
mittee, to sell him out and let in Hays,
the later agreeing to favor them. Mr..
Watsersop, of the Louisville Courier
Jouraui, writes on this subject as fol-
lows:
In the end the complete history of
the mismanagemeut OF the DemOc at
ic campaign, al,er the election OF Mr..
Tildeu, will uufold itself. 1t will teen
be found that Mr.. T;lGen himself was
opposed to the Electoral bill. aud made
his opposition Sulic'eciy d;slnct to
Mr.. Hewitt; ih-t Mr.. Hewitt sup
pressed Mr.. Tildcn's disnatch aud
went ahead in sni.e OF his master; and
that but that it was unsafe to swap
horses IN the middle OF the stream,
Mr.. Hewitt would have been super-
seeded 10 the middle OF JaGuary.
