Adventures Of Monkey that is
not Afraid of the Fever.
Memphis Avalanche on Tuesla y.


A son of Italy, a hand organ and a
monkey explains the situation at Stan
ton. On Sunday morning the organ
grinder, large and very stout looking
man, boarded the train. He was III
stantIy interviewed by DR.. Williford,
but the o. g. could speak bat one word
of English, and that word was mem
phis. Expostulations and threats
were not of the slightest avail. He
would not bulge. He was too big to
handle. DIR. Williford is. however, Il
man full ofresources, and finding that
words had no effect, he seized the hand
organ and carried it out into the woods.
Of course the organ grinder followed
his organ, and was thus got rid of for
the occasion. The monkey accompa-
MED the organ, and fought the Board
of Health Inspector like Il young tiger,
the doctor barely escaping with a
whole skin. The monkey, the hand Or
gan and the organ grinder are al now
camped on the railway platform at
Stanton. There is logged determi~
nation about that monkey and organ
grinder that is convincing to the minds
of the railway officials and to the
Board of Health Inspectors, that the
latter are not done with them. This
musical menagerie will be heard from
again, probably in DIR. BradforPs
haiiiwick. This reporter proposes to
keep his weather eye open, as that
monkey will yet afford some items OF
interest to the public.

THE EXCHANGE
THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 1879.
WAS IL Suicidei

News reached here last Sunday that
a Young man named Britt, residing at
Wildersville, in Henderson county,
had been found lying dead in the
woods near that place the day before,
and that his body had been almost de-
voured by hogs. A reporter sent out
from this Office ascertained the fol,
lowing particulars, which, taken alto
gether, form one Of the most horrible
items it has ever been our duty to re-
cord: Last Monday morning the
Young man Britt borrowed a double~
barrel shotgun from Mr.. Parker, as
he said, to 90 squirrel hunting. Not
returning the next day, his relatives
grew uneasy and instituted a search
for him. Nothing could be learned
as to his whereabouts, and thus the
week wore away. On Saturday, tho,
some men were attracted by an Of
fensive odor, and repairing to the por'
ton of the woods whence it emanated
found the body Of young Britt, so
horribly mutilated as to be almost IN
recognizable. An old SOW seen lurk-
ing near had eaten great hole in his
shoulder, and nearly severed his head
from his body; while the buzzards had
torn out his eyes and otherwise lacer>
ated his face. On the ground near
the body lay three squirrels, and the
gun with one barrel shot off, which
leads us to believe the young man was
killed by an accidental discharge of
his gun, and did not commit suicide,
as some seem inclined to think. Tie
horribly mangled remains were taken
up and decently inferred. Mr.. Britt
was young man universally esteemed
and his dreadful fate cast a gloom
over the community in which he re-
sided. Huntington ViadicatOr.

Colonel Bright, the SeFgeant-at-Arm
of the Senate, has just done an act which
will incense the old soldiers from one end
of the country to the other. For more
than ten years there has been on duty as
dOOr-keeper in the ladies' gallery of the
Senate cleanly-shaven, handsome-look-
ing gentleman, who lost both legs in the
Union army. This man was an old school
mate of mine, and a nobler-natured man
does not live than Sydner T.. Wilson. He
writes me from Fredonfa, N. Y, that he
has received notice from the Sergeant-at-
Arms that his successor has been appoint
ed, and that his services would no longer
be required after the 9TH inst. No cause
was assigned for his removal. Wilson
enlisted among the earliest soldiers in a
New York regiment, and served with dis
tinguished credit in the Army of the Po-
tOmac, participating in all the battles un-
til wounded at Gettysburg. Wilson was
wounded at the time Sickles was endeav-
Oring to check LOngstreet's charge. He
was at first shot through the leg, and
while lying on the field with shattered
] bone, his other leg was carried away by
a shell. Both legs were amputated on the
! field, one below the knee and the other
above. He lay on the field fifteen hours
| before he was cared for, and came near
Edying. He was in bed eighteen months,
hanging between life and death. He
finally recovered and was enabled to walk
with the benefit of two wooden legs and
a pair of crutches. In 1869 Senator Fen
ton secured his appointment as Door
keeper. He was great favorite about the
Senate on account of his gentle manpers
and obliging disposition. He walks very
well with the aid of stout cane. The
action of Colonel Bright in removing this
legless man is simply an outrage Will
son votes the Republican ticket, hut hC
