DYER STATION.

Editors Exchange:
Dyer is all right. Every one seems
to have a pocket full Of change, and
of course is in excellent spirits.
Dyer is notorious for the immense
business she does in cotton. Large
quantity of seed cotton is brought here
from this and Dyer county, and sold
to our enterprising ginners at top
prices. Our gins here have put up
near thousand males to date, and will
gin a great many more the current
season. The merchants have been
and are doing quite heavy business.
A number of new houses have been
erected for business, and Dyer bids
fair to rival any town in the country
for life and prosperity.
Our Temperance society is flourish
ing. We are straight out against
whiskey.
Green Fisher and Miss Eta Gard
ner we're married last Tuesday eve
ming at the residence of the brides
father. They seem 10 he powerful
happy and mighty loving" No cards.
Miss Nettie Berry returned home
from Ripley this evening, where she
has been visiting relatives for several
weeks. Ask Miss Katie, if ''some-
hody's darling" came also. He means
business. That wonderful lady, Mad
anne Rumor, says our clever and ex-
allied friend. Joe, is going sitter her
soon. She lives at Bolivar, you know.
All right joe, but don't take buggy.
The matrimonial fever is just break
out here now, and if any of you quill
drivers" up that way are single. we'll
be glad to have you call around.
Going to give you good joke on

New York special to the Chicago
Tribune: The Louisville Il Nashville
road, after making various railroad
combinations over the extreme South,
has at last acquired control of the Mo-
bile and Montgomery. The through
business of the Louisville Il Nash.
vile was hampered Ivy competitive
lines running into Montgomery. The
Richmond Airline advertised to run
trains from New York to New Orleans
in 57t hours. six hours better than
could be made by any other route, and
the Mobile 4 Montgomery was not
disposed to accommodate the Louis>
Vile Il Nashville at the expense Of the
line via Atlanta. Consequently all
through business had to he done joint

President Stamford and Vice Presi-
dent H. Victor Newcomb have paid
several visits 70 New York in the last
two months for the purpose of reme-
dying the discrimination against the
through business of the road. Most
of the stock of the Louisville d Nash
vile is held here. and most of the new
York stockholders were in favor Of
making an arrangement with the Mo-

Photographs from Hades.

Few Of the great European collec-
tions of paintings are forlorn Of works
illustrating topography and architec-
ture of Hades, as sketched out in
Dantes immortal verse. Society,
however, has hitherto yearned in vain
for any authentic description of his
Satanic Msjesty's dominions, illustra>
ted by drawings executed on the spot;
and it has been reserved for Prof.
Leuchin, of Moscow, to eli up this hi
atus by work which he has just pub
lished, under the title of "The Myste>
lies of He'll and its Inhabitants"-a
folio volume, enriched by 20 photo
graphs. Some of these are portraits
Of the leading native celebrities, while
others reproduce the processes of tor
ment most in vogue amongst the pres
ent administrators of the Tartarean
penal code. In his preface to this re-
markable book. the learned professor
gravely remarks: "We have hereto
fore only been able, by the aid of con.
lecture, to arrive at a dim apprehen-
sion of the tortures that await us in
the subterranean realm; but ! have,
at last. after protracted and all but
superhuman exertions, succeeded in
throwing light apon all this more or
less vague information, and in produc-
ing an absolutely authentic descrip-
ton of hell and its inhabitants. Sew
enty striking, original photographs of
eminent Internal personages, and a
faithful depictment of the last judg-
ment, will he found To repr ssent COM
pletely and exclusively all those phe-
nomena which have hitherto proved
insolubly enigmatical to humanity at
large 1t is to be regretted that the
Professor should have preserved a
Sphynxian silence respecting the de-
tails of his journey in the lower re-
gions, and of the visits he must have
paid to the diabolical dignitaries who
so amiably permitted him to pnoto-
graph their expressive lineaments. In
enabling US, however. to contemplate
undoubted likeness as of Lucifer, Ash
taroth, Beelzebub and sundry other dis
tinguished characters of thesame class.
Prof Leucbin has established a claim
to our lasting gratitude.
