NEW PUBLICATIONS.

A HEART TWICE Won, by Elizabeth Van
Loon, just published by L. b. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia, must hit the public
taste, and be a brilliant success. That it is
by a new writer is very evident; it is equally
obvious from the delicacy and force with
which the plot has been framed and worked
out to a legitimate conclusion, as well as
from the development of the respective charac-
ters, that young lady is the author. 1t Is
pure as well as passionate. Moreover, the
incidents, sometimes startling, are put
together in the most sk1llful manner, and by
a master hand, all within the legitimate limit
of probability. We advise all to get this
remarkable book.
HENRY GREvILLE's new book, and most
dramatic and most powerful novel, and the
one that established her fame in Europe, is
SdUeH' ErpiatiOn, now in press and to be
published In few days by L. B. Peterson q
Brothers, Philadelphia. 1t is faithful por
trayal of Russian despotism IN the time of
serfdom; and although the character on
which the plot rests Is strongly drawn, it is
not overdrawn, but is true to the times and
situation, for the pictures Of Russian life are
drawn In manner which would only have
been acquired through actual observation and
experience. Powerful as it is, it Is free from
exaggeration, while a pathetic, tender love
story is presented for relief. This novel shows
more power and wonderful concentration than
any the author has written; the dit seriptions
are so vivid, and the characters and surround
ings presented with such clearness and
strength, that one is carried to the very scene
and feels the atmosphere. Henry Grevlie,
indeed, is charming and exquisite writer.
1t will be issued In uniform style and price
with TReO, Kathleen. Gabrielle and Mss
Crespigny, published by the same firm.

ing in the southern portion Of the city,
Yesterday afternoon a party Of emil
grants from South Carolina, ~ route for
A kansas, came b. the city on the five clock
Louisville train. On arriving they dlscov-
cred that one of the party, youth of tender
age, was missing The last seen of him was
some distance from the city, where he was
observed IN one OF the cars. His loss could
not be accounted Tor, and great distress pre-
vailed among the emigrants. a telegram
was sent up the line making inquiries, 1t be-
ing supposed that the boy got off at some sta
ton and was left by the train. Nothing was
heard Of the missing youth up to late hour
last evening.
We have been shown the prospectus OF
a book nov in press, written by James d.
Lynch, which is devoted to a vindicatiOn of
the people Of Mississippi and the whole Dem
OCTatIc party against the vlllanOuS SANDERS
perpetrated by J. NJ. Wells, and others, who
have painted the Kemper county affair in
colors TO suit their own designs upon the peo-
pie of Mississippi. Mr.. Lynch's book will
contain q truthful and thrilling account OF
the terrible scenes enacted In Kemper county
while under Radical rule, and will show the
existence at that time Of a state of affairs IN
that county almost as incredible as tales of
romance. 1t will be neatly bound in cloth,
viii contain about FIVE hundred pages, and
will be sold by subscription at two dollars per
copy.
They make some fast time on the old
Charleston railroad yet. Last Wednesday,
when DIR. w. Z. Rogers was telegraphed for
20 90 to Germantown to visit Sheriff Ander
son, Mr.. II. NJ. BuIford, master of machinery
Of the road, received orders to dispatch a To-
connective to Germantown as soon as possible.
In twenty minutes the locomotive was
started, with DIR. Rogers on the tender. and
J. +. Cain acting as engineer. The run was
made to Germantown, distance OF fifteen
miles. id eighteen minutes. There are sew
eral sharp curves on the route, which required
the engineer to slacken up occasionally. Old
engineers say this is the fastest time ever
made between Memphis and Germantown.
The engineers and locomotives of the Charles
ton railroad can yet make crack time when
ever necessary.
The affairs of the sheriff's Office are IN
perfect condition. Those having money COM

the committee and vote on 1t section by Sec
ton. The motion was adopted.
The preamble was unanimously adopted.
The first resolution was read, and It's adop-
ton was opposed by Colonel Phelan, who ia
Vored the resolution on the same suoJect
offered by General Luke +. Wright. Colonel
Phelan made lengthy and STIRRING speech
In support of his position, and favored leav-
ing out the southern question from the resO-
lutlons. He referred to the rise of the Ma
tlonal party, Its principles and Its origin.
He stood on the National platform, and in
dorsed every word of it. Both he and the
Nationals of Memphis are Democrats, but
they wanted no dead issues. If the party
held on to dead issues. then he was no longer
a Democrat, and the Democratic party would
go down in defeat. Loud cheers.
Judge L. w. Brown supported the resolu-
ton as reported by the committee. He was
loudly applauded.
Colonel Luke Finlay moved the adoption OF
the resolution as reported by the committee.
At this point a sharp and pleasant passage
at arms took place, in running discussion
between Colonel Phelan and Judge Brown,
which was highly enjoyed by the members of
the convention.
Judge Ray favored the passage of the res
olution as presented by the committee.
The sense of the convention being taken,
the resolution was adopted.
The second resolution was read and adopt
ed. The third resolution was read and
adopted. The fourth resolution was read and
adopted. The fifth resolution was read and

and adopted. The eighth resolution was read
and adopted. The ninth resolution was read
and adopted. The tenth resolution was read

Dor. ltwas moved to amend the resolution
by striking out the words ''in mines"
Judge Ray moved that Colonel Phelan's
resolution on the subject of convict labor be
adopted in lieu of the resolution offered by
the committee. Colonel Phelan's resolution
opposed the employment of convict labor In
any manner competing with the honest labor
of the State.
Major Minor Meriwether supported the res
olution of the committee.
Colonel Phelan's substitute was laid on the
table, and the original resolution of the COM
mittee was adopted as reported.
The eleventh resolution was read and
adopted.
The report of the committee as a whole
was then unanimously adopted.
THE wIND-UP AND ADJOURNMENT.
Captain r. c. Williamson offered resolu-
ton as to the mandamus question, and de-
manded legislation on the subject and a rem
edy, if legal one can be found.
Colonel Luke Finlay opposed the resolution.
Captain Williamson withdrew the resolu-
ton.
On motion, the convention adjourned sine
die.
The convention was a large one, and the
greatest of harmony prevailed; the resolu
tons adopted were satisfactory to all, and
even Nationalist present could find no OBJ
lection to them. As several of them said,
I'm our platform we will have to promise
more to the people," and as another leading
Nationalist said, 'The Democrats have stolen
our thunder"

A MEMPHIS LADY
InsuIted by a Little Rock Hickman
who, at her Instance, was Arrested
and Held for Trial.

Little Rock Gazette: w. A. Woods, hack
driver, was arrested yesterday on the COM
plant of a lady: who charged him with in
ducing her to take ride in his hack and
conveying her to the outskirts of the city, and
there insulting her. The lady, whose name
we suppress for obvious reasons, was en- route
for Memphis, in company with her child, a
girl Of some eight years of age, and was
detained at the Union depot. She alleges
that she was approached by Woods, who
urged her, as it would be several hours be-
fore the train for Memphis would leave, to
take a drive about the city. Her little girl
being anxious to 90, she finally consented,
with the above result. Woods was arrested
upon a warrant which was sworn to by the
lady, and, after undergoing preliminary ex-
animation by Justice Howe, was committed
to jail in default of FIVE hundred dollars bail.
He had only been in the city few days, and
it is but justice to the Jehus of this city that
they not only universally disown all fellow
ship with Woods, but we have yet to hear OF
the first instance where any of them have in
suited a lady passenger.

HydrOphobia.

THE case of Miss Maria Baldwin, of
West Granville, who was bitten in the
face by q mad dog in April, and last
week gave signs of hydrophobia, is
peculiarly interesting as another and
strong evidence that the disease is not
altogether one of the Imagination. She
had always held that no one need go
mad from dog bite, and since she was
bitten had showed no nervousness con-
corning it, going about her duties as
usual. The dog. had also bitten two
other dogs and two sheep. One dog
was killed at once, but the other and
the sheep have since gone mad and
been killed. Moreover, one of the
sheep bit a hen, and the bird also went
mad, showing its condition by running
about wildly and pecking at its fellows
until it was killed. But Miss Baldwin
was not told of this, and thought light
ly OF her own case until last Monday,
when she suddenly found herself unable
to swallow water. Later she was
thrown into spasms and foamed at the
mouth. when she gave up hope, but
would allow none Of her friends to come
near her, lest the saliva should inocu-
late them also with the disease. The
spasms became more frequent and Sc
we're through the week, the doctors be-
ing able to do nothing but administer
opiates, and Miss Baldwin is now either
dead or at the point of death. She was
eighty years old, q woman of great
kindness of heart, and much beloved
by all her friends, and was q relative

broad charity, the flashes of eloquent
admiration, excited by all that is most
noble in humanity, should have guar
anteed the book against insult, at all
events. Ipassed q bad night over it,
but recovered my selt-possession in the
morning, and at breakfast expressed
myself in terms which brought color
into the cheeks and light into the eyes
of the poetess. AS for the hostile
critic, alluded to him in q way which
prevented the ladies ever mentioning
his libel again, for fear, as Sinclair told
me, lest should find out who the cul-
prit was and become engaged in some
personal conflict with him. That
might be spared no element of remorse,
Miss Daisy proved to be an orphan and
poor; her father, a retired Colonel,
having fallen into the trap which
catches 50 many old officers, and be-
come Director of some company which
broke down and swallowed his little
property.
However, l managed to calm myself
down, and tried to make amends by be-
ing as agreeable as I could to the young
lady had unwittingly injured. 1t was
rather q dangerous operation, consid-
ering that was several years short of
thirty, and she was still younger, but
it had the fascination about it which
dangerous games often have. What
with bathing, boating and making
amends, a fortnight slipped away pres
emily, and when l returned to town at
the end of that time could scarcely be
called free man.-C0sselrs MAGAZINE.

About Canary Birds.

PLACE the cage so that no draught of
air can strike the bird. Give nothing
to healthy birds but rape and canary
seed, water, cuttlefish bone, and gravel
paper or sand on the floor of the cage.
No hemp seed. A bath three times q
week. The room should not be over
heated-never above seventy degrees.
When melting Shedding feathers)
keep warm, avoid all draughts of air.
Give plenty Of German rape seed; lit
tie hard boiled egg, mixed with crack
ers grated fine, is excellent. Feed at q
certain hour in the morning. By OBJ
serving these simple rules birds may
be kept in fine condition for years.
For birds that are sick or have lost
their song procure bird tonic at bird
store. Very many keep birds who
mean to give their pets all things to
mako them bright and happy, and at
the same time are guilty Of great
cruelty in regard to perches. The
