"
this year in the South is calculated to
consternate every heart. The Board of
Health of memphis declared it existing
in That city last Thursday, and advised
all persons who Icould Ieaveftb do so
quietly and without excitement. In
consequence of this 5000 or e008z cftf-
zens are now absent, many of them in
our section. There have been three
deaths out of six cases since Thursday
last, with no new cases up to Saturday
night A dispatch of the 18th, the
latest we have, says much better feel
ing now PREVAILS ahdzthe exodus of citi-
zens has somewhat subsided. QPhys
icians express the hope that there will
not be anything like an epidemic. No
new cases have been reported for three
days. Judge Ray and son will die,
most probably, THE panic is subsiding,
though numbers are still leaving. al
The State Board of Health on the
18th, established quarantine on all pas
sengers and trains leaving Memphis.
| Inspecting officers viii be appointed to
inspect all passengers and baggage leav-
| ing the city, and a certificate will be
given in each case at a point five miles
from the city. All passengers. and bag
gage will be transferred to the regular
| through train under the supervision of
| another inspecting officer. The same
| precautions will also be used on all
| trains coming into Memphis. tf1
Chattanooga, Pulaski, Cairo, -Yicks-

and many other railroad and river towns
have quarantined against Memphis.

The usual quiet of-these corners was
disturbed on Tuesday evening last, by
the approach of caravan from your
town. The band wagon approached
''with a band of music" which gave
promise of the near approach of a meua-
gerie, or some other show. Soon anoth-
er wagon heaved in sight-and that was
all, and nothing more" But soon
learned that that prince of good
fellows, Nathan Stubblefeld, was lead
ing the van. What in the world was
going on I could not conceive, but soon
it was divulged to me that merry par
ty of eight was on its way to Roam Noun
tain, to rusticate and recuperate. 1t
consisted of the said Nathan Stubblefeld,
E. J Wells, of the firm of Brown &
Wells, George r. Stuart, teacher, George
S. Andes, clerk in Brown s. Wells store,
Joseph A. Stubblefield, teacher and
preacher, William Boyse, tinsmith, s.
M. Shannon, Oscar Harmon, whose oc-
equations are unknown to me. A more
respectable set of eight couldn't be scar
ed out of MorristOwn, and / wish them
all the enjoyment in making music for
themselves and theirs, hunting, fishing,
eating and sleeping that can possibly be
crowded into a fortnight's time. They
were in high ghee when they passed by
the store here.

dug
From an Exchange.


About two centuries ago French
navigator named Begon brought
from Asia new plant, which is still
called after him, Begonia. Few
readers would suspect the part this
plant plays in the production of the
handsome shawls so priced by the
ladies. The best, by far, of these
are made in Cashmere, beautiful
district at the foot of the Himalaya
mountains. The material used in
their manufacture is the finest down
from the Thibet goat. Every one has
probably remarked the singularly
graceful patterns with which they
are ornamented, and perhaps Won
dered whether they were studies
from nature or the productions OF
the artists brain. They are the for
mer. Nature in the East supplies
admirably graceful leaves on which
the sun designs delicate ornaments,
and the workmen of Cashmere imi-
tate them, as the Grecian sculptors
copied the curves of the acanthus in
the Corinthian capitals. These
leaves are those of the begonia.
when the French arrived in Egypt,
at the end of the last century, they
were surprised to see the Orientals
wearing costumes, shawls, turbans,
sashes, etc., OF beautiful Cashmere
work. They greatly admired these
dresses which fall so gracefully on
the human form. When the conquer
ors of the pyramids returned home
to France, they displayed their rich
booty which Immediately came into
fashion among the ladies. From
that period they have constantly re.
manned in high favor. Their prices
vary from 5000 to $500. Under
the empire, no lady with any preten-
sion went without a Cashmere shawl.
The taste for these articles, although
not so great as formerly, has not en-
tirely ceased. However, it is very
rarely now that a person wears a
real Indian Cashmere; the article
in general use is the product of
French manufacture.

wet this thoroughly, and put the cut
tings close around the edge of the
pot, for if the bud or joint comes in

Pull off the lower leaves before you

a great deal of your success in rails
ing the cutting depends upon the
close contact OF the sand with the
stem. When the cuttings are firmly

Moisture, light and heat, are the
three essentials to plant life-with-

supply of moisture, and you can hard

The Red Scale i'm Citrus Trees.

From the Southern Horticulturist for September.
During our recent visit to San
Francisco, while examining an invoice
of lemons recently from Australia,
we noticed that much OF the fruit was
badly affected with the red scale bug,
an insect that is considered the worst
enemy of citrus fruits yet discovered.
A few years since the same red scale
made its appearance in the San Cab
riel Valley, and active work was at
once inaugurated to exterminate the
pests. The damage by the red scale
in that valley has amounted to thou.
sands of dollars, and large sums have
been spent in the effort to extermi-
nate them, and thus far with only
partial success. OF late we under.
stand that this insect has made its APP.
pearence in several localities in the
Los Angeles valley. If its ravages
are not stayed serious damages will
ensue. There is no use OF longer
closing our eyes to the danger ahead.
So long as the red scale was confined
to one locality, and was being slowly
but effectually crushed out, then the
people had no cause for alarm, and
there was less use for united effort
of the people to avert the threatened
danger, but the plague is spreading,
and now calls for vigorous treatment.

In reply to correspondent, the
Floral Cabinet gives the following

In selecting cutting, a great deal
depends upon a judicious choice; if
the slip is too young and full OF fresh
sap, it will fade away from too much
evaporation if it is too old-hard
and woody-it will take a great
while to strike root.
You must take a cutting that is

The other night as old Blinks, who
presides over the case-keeper of faro
game, sat listening to the various
opinions expressed about our Indian
troubles be felt constrained to relate
some of his own experiences with the
Iadians, prefacing his remarks with the
assertion that not one man in ten thou

Said be: "You give me one hundred
men as brave as myself, who would rely

subjugstiOn of al Indian tribe all on his
own hook. He was both infantry and
cavalry, and his courage and willy tactics
appalled, the Indians more than an
ordinary army corps would have done.

Woman in China.

The condition of woman in China is
most pitable; suffering privation, con-
tempt, all kinds of misery and degrada-
ton seize on her in her cradle and
accompany her pitilessly to her tomb.
Her very birth in commonly regarded as
a humiliation and disgrace to the family
an evident sign of the maledictiOn of
heaven. If she is not Immediately
sufocated she is looked upon and treated
as creature intrinsically despicable, and
scarcely belonging to the human race.
This appears so incontestsble fact that
Panhou>pan, celebrated, though a woman.
among Chinese writers, endeavors in her
works TO humiiiste her own sex Iby re-
minding them constantly of the inferior
rank they occupy in the creation.
When son is born" she says "he
sleeps on a bed, he is clothed with silk
and plays with pearls; every one attends
to his princely cries. But when girl is
horn she sleeps upon the ground, is
meanly wrapped up in a cloth, plays
with tile, and is incapable of acting
either virtuously or viciouoly. She has
nothing to think of but preparing food,
making wine, and not vexing her
parents" Even after marriage her case
is not improved. According to the ex-
pressions of an old Chinese writer, the
newly>married wife should be but II
shadow and an echo in the house" She
has no right tc take her meals with .her
husband nay, not even with ner male
children; her duty is to serve them at
table, to stand by them in silence, help
them to drink, and light their pipes.
She must eat alone, and after they have
done, and in corner; her food is scsnty
and coarse, and she would not dare to
touch even what is left by her own sons
1t may be thought that this does not well
agree with the much talked>Of principle
of filiaT piety; but it must not be or
gotten that in China woman counts for
nothing; the law ignores her existence, or
notices her merely to load her with iet-
tiers. to complete her servitude. and tc
confirm her legal incapacity. POlygamy
is allowed, and the heart-rending jesls
ousies and quarrels thst thence ensue
lead to numerous suicides.

A WOman's Sharp Wit.

A witty woman, if she is also pretty,
seems to be licensed to say what she will
to friend or foe. During the war for in
dependence, the ladies of the south freely
exercised their sex's privilege. After
the surrender of Charleston, the British
arms were, for time, triumphant in
that section. Many OF the leading,
men, through fear Of imprisonment and
of losing their estates, renewed their
allegisnces to the king. Most of the
women, however, adhered to their Wing
principles, and were not reticent in ex-
pressing their sentiments. Mrs. Daniel
Hall, a noted Wing, obtained per-
mission to visit her mother on Johns
Island As she was getting into the boat
that was to carry her to the island, an
English officer, in an authoritative style,
demanded the keys to her trunk.
& What do you expect to find there ?
asked Mr.. Hall. 81 seek Tor treason"
replied the officer. You may save
yourself the trouble OF searching my
trunk" said the lady, " for you can find
plenty OF it at my tongues end"
