An extraordinary scene has occurred
at a Methodist chapel in Hunley, near
Newcastle, England. An old man of
seventy, with several grown up children
and grandchildren, had arranged to be
married to girl of eighteen years old.
On the party arriving at the chapel they
were attacked by large mob and their
clothes much torn. Ten policemen were
present, but were over-powered, and the
mob rushed into the chapel, making a
continued noise while the ceremony
proceeded. A window was broken, and
there was almost riot. The married
pair finally escaped by different doors,
and eight constables conducted them
home. rsf.s 49, <Fsfs sTss ~

The closing exercises of Morristown

well attended by citizens and visiting

has ever been, aprofitable and enjoyable
occasion The examinations of the va

entirely satisfactory to the patrons and

did healthy and vigorous advancement

liable to the pupils and praiseworthy to
their teachers. Thursday night, at the
Methodist Church, before an audience
that could not be seated in its spacious
room, thirteen young ladies read origi.

room to give the programme, with the
names of the young ladies who made
the commencement exercises so enjoya-

essays separately. We gather them all
up in our hand and hold them over the

FEMALE CHARMS THE BASIS OF
SWINDLING OPERATIONS.

Cincinnati and st. Louis have developed a
phase of crime in the persons of two beauti-
full women that has shocked the moral sense
of their people as lit has never been
shocked before. In the case of the Cincin-
natl charmer, it turned out that hers was
an old trick of which the authorities had
never heard until week or two ago, because
her previous victims succumbed and were
afraid to say anything about it. She had
practiced it so successfully that she be-
lieved herself secure, and so became reckless.
But, as Is always the case with
criminals, she tried 1t Just once
too often, and is now in jail to answer
| for an attempt to obtain money under false
pretenses. Her last victim was a real-estate
agent, whom she called upon to negotiate for
the sale of some property in ST. Louis, Of
which she claimed to be possessed. Beauti-
full In face and figure, stylish in dress, at
tractive In manner, and very winning in her
ways, she won the old man at first sitting
Although sixty-fve years of age and grand

There is the table of shame, one which St.
Louis people will not be inattentiye to if they
consult their own interests, for we can assure
them that the present feeling here is to IN
crease the Cincinnati branch Of our business.
That market is often cheaper than st. Louis
can afford to be, the merchants there are
accommodating, and it is a pleasure to do
business with them. Cincinnati fifteen years
ago was the center of our up-river trade,
and we left there from political rather than
business motives. Those motives exist no
longer; and Cincinnati offers inducements
that will not be neglected in the face of the
ungenerous and unfair conduct of the ST.
Louis company. The Cincinnati boats that
come here have gai2ed high degree of
popularity from the agreeable and liberal
manner in which their business is managed.
The exclusiveness with which Memphis has
given its trade to st. LOUIS has only engen-
dered grasping spirit there; to give a gen
erous portion of it to Cincinnati will be to
induce competition and obviate monopoly,
by which this city will be greatly benefited.
A plan is spoken of by which business with
st. Louis can be done at much less ex-
pense to our merchants than by the
present line of st. Louis boats. A steam
tug of the requisite power could be had for
six thousand dollars, and frst-class barges
for two thousand dollars each. For an out
lay of twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars,
freight could be taken up and down the river
at low rates. When press of business made
more frequent trips necessary, the st. Louis
transportation company can be relied upon
for extra aid Our city council has suspended
acquiescence in a proposal to allow the st.
Louis line a wharfboat at the landing, not
from an ungenerous desire to throw Difficult
ties in its way, but as means Of arousing
the attention of the people of ST. Louis to thC
fact that our citizens at large resent the ex-
tortion practiced upon them. They will be
wise to take the caution so Enthusiastically
given, and to remember that Memphis is by
no means disposed to submit to a discrimina.
tion that is not only discreditably unjust. but

AMERICAN GRASSES
Being Tested Chemically, with Inter
esting Resuits-Twelve Hundred
Varieties to be Subjected to
Examination.
SnecIal to the New York Trihune.l

Special to the New York Tribunel
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Prof. Collyer, the
chemist employed by the government for the
department of agriculture, Is engaged, with
his assistants, in making some analyses that
promise to be of considerable importance to
the agricultural interests of the country.
The department has received, from various
parts of the United States, specimens OF
grasses which, having been ground to pow
der are submitted to chemical tests to deter
mine their relative nutrltive value for the
purposes of feeding stock. The grasses now
under examination comprise twelve OF the
native varieties of Kansas. None OF the
analyses are yet complete, but the experiment
of Analysing agricultural products being new
in the United States, the results OF the ones
now in progress are awaited with interest.
One of the first tests applied to these grasses
Is that of incarceration, or burning, their or
ganie substance being consumed. The nu-
tritive value of the grasses Is IN some inverse
proportion to the inorganic or non-nutritive
matter which remains after the fire. One of
the western grasses already tested In this
manner has been found to contain less than
eleven per cent. or the alkaline or non-nu-
tritlve substance. Subsequent tests are made
for the purpose of determining the varying
proportions of starch, sugar, albumen, ETC.,
contained In the grasses. According TO IN
designations made by Prof. Coliyer, there
grow within the limits of the United States
not less than twelve hundred varieties of
grasses, the New England States alone fur
nishing about two hundred varieties. Prof.
Collyer mentions as curious fact, showing
the limited attention which has hitherto been
given to agricultural CHEMISTRY In the United
States, that almost no analyses OF even the
common cereals-corn, wheat and rye-have
been made by American chemists, our knowl-
edge of the results OF such analyses coming
mainly from England and Germany. He
also thinks that the meadow lands of New
England, which have become barren from
being kept constantly sown with one kind OF
grass, could be made abundantly productive
again by being treated to some other of the
multitudinous varieties, which, after investI-
CATION, would probably be found adapted to
the present condition of the soil. At pres
emit. he asserts, the chemical assistance at his
disposal is wholly inadequate to undertake
Investigations of this kind.

DR.. J. H. Curley, formerly of Oktibbeha
county, attempted to commit suicide in Jack
son last week, by seveling the veins of the
lett arm. Drs. Craft and Kells were called
to his assistance in timeto restore him to con-
sciousness, and he was removed to the lunatic
asylum.

Tilden, Hendricks and reform In the last
Presidential campaign.
Canton Mail, 5th: The supreme court of
Mississippi has decided that Madison county
must pay the bogus bonds of the Vicksburg
and Canton railroad, now defunct. Our board
of supervisors will now be compelled to make
a special assessment to raise the accrued in
terest on the bonds in litigation-about one
thousand dollars, we believe.
The Brookhaven Ledger spells some hard
words at the citizens of Vicksburg, like these,
for instance: Some of the State papers are
severe upon the citizens of Vicksburg for not
entertaining the members of the late press
convention The citizens of that city deserve
to be reminded of their niggardly, inhospl-
table conduct. Captain Worrel seems to
have been the only man in Vicksburg who
extended the customary courtesies to the
press 1t is safe to say the press convention
will never meet in Vicksburg again.
Corinth SubSOiler and Democrat, 9Th
There has been large quantity of fruit

Little less than marvellous, such a result Of
the eastern war, If predicted six weeks ago,
would have been considered chimerical. A
great triumph, accomplished in that part OF
the world where most she desired a victory,
it is cheap to England at the cost of the war
preparations which excited the envy OF other
nations. No opposition in parliament can
dim the glory of this achievement. the grand
est England has probably ever known, nor
can anything like carping criticism detract
from the merit of the minister, who, with
such wonderful, almost president, skill,
guided his people cut Of what for years has
threatened another such war as that of the
Crimea, and, iE a peaceful contest, has
wrung from Russia, with the consent of all
Europe, guarantees that leave her to pursue
in peace the policy she has In view
of civillzing Hindoostan up 10
European standards. So great a deed
is worthy of the highest recognition by the
British people, and if making Disraeli duke
will, to them, be the measure of his deserv-
ings, they should make him that, and, If nee
essary, add to 1t the right of precedence over
all other dignitaries or personages in the en-
pire, after the queen. No honors are too high
for the first man in England to-day.
