Scenes on the Memphis Train.

LOUISVILLE, July 21.-Probably no epidemic or
consequence Of war ever produced greater ex-
citement for the number Of people concerned,
or witnessed y more outrageous scene than that
at the depot at Memphis Sunday morning, when
the train left there at clock that morning
and which only reached here yesterday between
II NJ. and y. NJ.
The majority of the frightened humanity on
that train were woman and children, many of
whom had no protectors to guard and care for
them-women with young babes at the breasts,
others whose great age made it seem q mockery
to flee from death yet they were there, and
were so unfortunate as to be herded (for no other
word expresses the meaning so welD with set
or male dogs in human guisc, who drank vile
liquors, smoked mean cigars and putfed the
smoke in the faces Of delicate ladies and, not
content with that, drew from the spacious pock-
OTIS of their busters those emblems Of hell and
low life, playing cards, formed games for money,
and, MS natural consequence, began cursng
and blaspheming in q manner that would shock
the most foully raised yagabond. No word was
too vulgar to be checked upon the lips of those
foul-mouthed rutians. will add that even this
was bearable compared with the brutal conduct
of some of these-things, for they could not ap-

double share of room while poor, weak ladies.
for such they arc, were forced to stand in those
jolting cars as best they could, many of them
with little ones in their arms, until the train
reached Milan. Many of these ladies' weak and
exhausted, sank to the floor amid all the filth and
dirt thatit is possible to imagine. Added to this,
there was no water and no one in authority seemed
to make any attempt to provide it. Very few
had anything to eat, nor could they get i. for
any price until they reached this city, having
then been more than twenty eight hours in this
suspense and misery. Ladies who at home have
carriages and aR that wealth can command were
glad to find n seat on the step. Of the car plat
form, and many were for hours forced to remain
in such fearful danger. A Southern man should
blush to know that, even to save his own life,
he should be guilty Of such inhumanity to a wo-
man. l take great pride in saying that there
were few men on that train composed Of the
true elements of gentilty, who did all in thier
power to alleviate the sufferings of the women
and children. One young man in particular,
whose name regret did not learn, observed
brute disposscss some little children of seat
they had from the first occupied. lie stepped
forward, and, by a we'll directed blow, hurled
the scoundrel out of the place he had usurped
and restored the little ones, Probably the rail
road officers in charge of the train did all they
could, but that is questionable. Not half the
passengers secured checks for baggage. Many
who did did so by paying the baggageman heav-

SHYING II0RsEs.-W. \. Cleveland,
veterinary surgeon, in writing to IHuAace's
Monthly about shying horses, says: 81 saw

the reason why horses shy, or why horse

road, and if they cannot be broken of the
habit. | will give my idea of this trouble
and let the reader reason as he pleascs.-
There never was a sbying horse that was not
ncar-sightcd. They do not sec the object
until getting right on it, That being the
case, nothing will break the horse of the
habit, unless the binders arc discarded and
an open head stall used. Treat the horse
kindly. Never whip him, but try to coax
him up to the object, that he may smell Of

An ADMINISTRATION PLAN FOR CARRYIN,

An ADMINISTRATION PLAN FOR CARRYING
SOuTH CARoLINA.-Therc is to be q sweeping
change i'll the Federal officers in South Carolina
This change will soon DC announced. Certain
South Carolina Republicans have been in this
city within the last few days, representing that
South Carolina could be carried for the Repub-
licans in 1880 in case the right kind of Federal
ottceholders are placed in authority. Those
now in place are men who are timid and luke
warm in their Repubicanism, and have not the
requisite backbone to stand up against the tissue
ballot frauds and intimidatinG processes Of the
chivalry. What is needed these Republicans
say, is class of men brave enough to enforce the
national election i'll the face Of death, intimida-
ton and personal insult. 1t is claimed that the
present Federal oticeholders in that State are
either ovcrawed by the Democrats who arc now
in power, or else have formed affiliations with
them that destroyed their party usefulness.
Although this is q strictly civil service Ad-
ministration, John Sherman has succeeded in
so representing matters to Hayes that there is
high authority for the statement that sweep
ing change will be made throughout the count
ry. Where close contests are probable, the Fed
cral marshalships are to be made as strong us
possible. Upon the rigid enforcement of the
National election law in 1880 depends tho sue
cess Of the Republicans. AT least this is the
view taken by the National Committee.-N. Y.

BEWARE OF CHUFAS.-Last year
planted ! acres in Chutas and was we'll
pleased with the result, but this spring
have not been able to get any stand of corn
where the chufas was planted on account
of peculiar bug, specimen of which
herewith enclose. have planted this
ground three times. and had corn up beau
tifully each time, and now there is not one
blade to be found within fifty yards of
where the chufas grew, the ground is full
of these bugs, and have finally abandoned
the idea Of corn and planted it in peas
The bug thrusts his bill into the stalk of
the young corn and sucks the life out of it,
Several of my neiShbors say their expert
ence is the same as mine, they having been
entirely unable to get corn to stand on the
same ground where chufas grew last year.
One OF my neighbors planted chufas again
In the same place, aud reports that this
same bug has killed all the chufas. This
is the experience of every one so far as |
have heard who planted on stiff land, some
who planted on light sandy land do not
complain. This bug is not new conner,
but has been here for years but it is GER
tainly raised and encouraged in some way
by the chufas, to an extent never known
before.
l write this to put my brother farmers
on their guard, aud would advise those who
have not tried chufas to wait awhile and
see what people say enc year from Eow, for
fear that in this instance all is not gold
that glitters. lfmy experience next spring
is the same as this shall have no more
chufas about me. [ got splendid stand
of corn on all my land except this one piece,
