is PURCELL INSANE.
Ro'nor That the Unfortunate Arcztbishop's
Hind Has Become Unsettled.

HIHN nus 6eCO10e C5lSet(tCU.
Cincinnati Enquiry of July 2.
There was rumor afoat yesterday to the
effect that news had BEEN received that
Archbishop Purcell's mind had become un-
settled in consequence of his monetary
trouble. The report further stated that the
trouble showed itself while the Archbishop
was stopping in Philadelphia, and was the
talk of ecclesiastical circles in Baltimore.
The following dispatch shows that this part
of the report was untrue:
BALTIMORE, Nd, July l. -Archbisho D
Gibbons has no knowledge of the rumored
insanity of Archbishop Purcell. When he
last heard from him, incidentally few days
ago, he was we'll and stopping at Eden Hail,
Philadelphia. He is now in Albany.
A representative of the Enquirer called
on Father Quinn at the Cathedral in the af-
ternoon, and asked him if he had any knowl-
edge of any such misfortune Detailing the
archbishop. He stated that he had no
knowledge of it, and did not believe it could
be true, as he had had letter from Father
Callaghan the day before, and it made no
mention of such misfortune. "Though God
knows he has had trouble enough to turn his
mind,' added the good father.
From another source our representative
learned that the Archbishop had not been as
successful as he had expected in collecting
funds to aid him in hquldating his debts
and it is feared that this is preying on bis
mind. Atpresent he is secluded at re-
lgious institution near Albany, New York.
Father Callaghan is DESTROYS of having him
remain in the East, and Fathers HALEY.
Cusack and Doyle have gone on to pay him
q friendly visit and to persuade him to re-
mo To for q xuh;1o ;oo
that news will be received from Rome very
shortly indicating who has been appointed
the archbishop:s coadjutor. The synod of
Bishops recommended for the place Bishops
Fitzgerald, of Little Rock, McQuade, of
Rochester, and Chatard, of Indianapolis, in
the order named. 1t is now believed that
the last will be first, according to scripture,
and that Bishop Chatard will be the FORUM
ate man.

eaten, made up his mind that if the ro-
dents could flourish on that kind Of. food
they could digest anything and every
thing. The next day the rats were around
as usual, but they did not appear to have
much appetite. They did not make bold
to 60 into the cellar or. snap up every
thing that was thrown out. They APP
peared rather dozy. On the second day
all the rats were dead, and the plastcrer
was thenceforth bothered with them no
more. A post mortem examination showed
that the plaster had set within them.

Eads' NoveI Railroad Pyoject


Captain James B. Eads, who constructed
the Mississippi river jetties, advocates the
substitution of railroad, by which the
largest ships may be carried across the
Isthmus of Darien, instead of canal.
The canal, he argues, must
cost $140,0O0,O0O, and occupy from
fifteen to twenty-five years in construction,
involving under the latest plans the cutting
of tunnel four miles long, and of such di-
mansions that the Mont Gents work dwindles
into insignifcance. He then proceeds to
outline the plan for railroad to cost $50,
10000, or one-third the price of the tunnel,
which, he says, he has no question will
be successful. There need be no
grades of more steepness than
on ordinary roads. The road-bed may be
not moro than forty feet wide, nor have
more than ten rails. The vessel should be
lifted from the sea to the level of the road bv
lock, or by other we'll known devices, and
placed upon car or cradle of ample strength
to sustain tho vessel with her cargo without
the possibility of injury.
The lock should be twice the length of the
ship, and only one half of its length should be
deep enough to receive the ship from the sea.
The bottom of the other half of the lock
| should be at the sea level, and on this the
railroad should commence. Into this upper
part of the lock the cradle to carry the ship
should be run, and the gates at the land
end should then be closed. The ship should
then be 1oated into the deep end OF the
lock and the sea.gates closed, after which
water shonld be admitted to fill the lock to a
height sufficient to float the ship on the car
in the upper half, after which the water
should be drawn off and the gates of the
land end opened, and the car and its burden
be then started on its journey by rail- AT
the other end of the road the car should be
run into similar lock. Another method of
transfer from sea to railroad is described as a
hydraulic elevator. so arranged that the vessel
would rise and fall on even keel. The car
to carry the ship should be made in
sections to avoid strain, and each section
should have its propelling power. He COM
putes that the power of less than dozen Or
binary freight engines would be required to
push the largest loaded ships at the rate of
eight miles an hour. Such road and lifting
appliances may be constructed in less than
four years. He expresses the utmost conf
dence in the practicability of the plan, and
OF the profit in running the road.

few miles from Greensburg, Westmoreland !,
Pa, shot and killed instantly his wife, and
after telling his nearest neighbor that he had
killed the old woman" placed the nauzzel Of
the gun under his chin and fred and killed
himself. The trouble is believed to have risen
from quarrel about q little piece Of property

Knoxville Chronicle

Knoxville Chronicle
The repudiatienists of Middle and
West Tennessee, under the leadership
of Savage, Wilson, Landis and others,
who figured in the last Legislature, are
loboring with might and main to defeat
the 50-4 proposition. If it is defeated,
it is their victory, 1t will be so inter
preted in and out of the State. Every
man who fails to vote at all votes with
the repudiationists. Now suppose the
proposition is voted down on the 7th of
August, and suppose at the next Legis-
lature the policy foreshadowed in the
report of Senator Wilson's Investigating
Committee last spring should be carried
out, as it would be, and nine-tenths of
the debt should be repudiated, as we
have no doubt it would be, how would
the real, sincere, honest State credit
man feel, who had failed to vote for fifty
and four, or had voted with Savage,
Wilson s. Co., because the proposition
was not what he wanted? Wouldn't he
be partly responsible for the result? But,
on the other hand, if he votes for it and
the proposition is carried, the question
of the validity of the whole debt has
been recognized, settled forever; and
then if any part of the bondholders
should decline to accept, we would be
in position to stand up for what we
believe to be reasonable and right. In
the one instance, the creditors of the
State are forever barred, unless they can
obtain their rights in the courts, in
which case no equities would be consid-
cred, and we would have to pay the debt
according to it's face value-in the other,
such of our creditors as choose to fund
at fifty per cent. may do so, and there is,
nothing IN the way of settling with all
on reasonable terms. For ourselves, we
are for State credit and do not propose
to vote with the repudiatiopists, every
one of whom will vote, to reject the fifty
and four proposition, neither. do we in
tend to give them half vote by not
voting at all.

The worst fears in regard to the
presence OF yellow fever in an cpl.
demie form la Memphis have been
realized. Memphis is truly a stricken
city, Those OF her citizens who
we're able to leave have hed from
the deadly pestilence. Thousands
are yet there who cannot get away.
Almost every town and station on
the various railroad lines leading
from the city have strictly quaran
tined against her. The worst fears
are now apprehended from the ne
groes, who are clamoring for food
and make threats OF burning and
sacking the city. Out OF about l6..
900 persons remaining, about H.
600 are negroes. There are from
twenty to thirty new cases Of fever
officially reported daily. but this
does not include the full number.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

! The Normal School, after a session of
two weeks, closed its labOrs last Friday
afternoon. Professor Presnell, of Jones
boro, was the principal teacher, assisted
H. M. Sherwood, Esq, County Superin-
| tendent. There were thirty or thirty.
five pupils present This was the first
| Normal School ever conducted in the
county. Its prime object was to better
qualify the teachers of the public schools
for their work. All seemed interested.
The school was organized by Mr.. Pres
nell under the most improved system,
every member knowing his place and
number. After the organization lessons
were regularly assigned in the various
branches, and the school settled down
to hard work. Everything was carried
on quietly and systematical. The pu-
pills were required to prepare papers on
the lessons, which were afterwards ex-
amined and graded. An examination
of he papers of the first and last days
showed great improvement. An inter
esting feature of each days proceedings
was brief lecture by one of the teach
ers, or the theory and methods of
teaching. Many new ideas were thrown
out that will prove beneficial in our
schools. A great interest has been
awakened throughout the county in re-
gard to the public schools. This inter-
est, in great measure, is due to the I'M
firing zeal and energy of Superinten-
dent Sherwood. A hard worker him
self, he imprssses upon the teachers Of
the county the fact that they must work
to succeed.
Normal Schools are almost an absolute
necessity to the highest success in pub
lie schools. At the proper time let us
have another.

The Nashville American very pertin-
emily commends every Tennessean to
remember that, while the struggle for a
greenback currency may be long, Ten
nessee now has it In her power in the
State debt settlement to add $5, O00, OO0
of circulating medium to Tennessee
composed of small bonds, at the low
rate of per cent. The interest is lew
enough for these notes readily to circu-
late. The Comptroller of currency has
decided in the case of Georgia that they
are not subject to the 10 per cent. tax.
We have a chance to add nearly i've
dollars per capita to our circulation.

RAIN AND CORN.
Since 1 wrote you a series of showers
of rain have fallen on the "corners, u
which have greatly revived the corn and
other growing crops. Yet, not near
enough rain has fallen to satisfy us COM
planning mortaIs.
Mr.. Lyle has about sixty acres of su-
perb corn, on soil about as good as any
other sixty acres laying in one tract in
all East Tennessee. His next neighbor,
Wilburn Baker, has a large number of
acres locking exceedingly well. They
will have an excellent crop of corn, if
only two more good showers come upon
it at the proper time, between this and
August 20.
DOG DAYS.
Dog days arrived, as per advertise
ment, on Friday, July "a, aud will ex-
hibit till September 5. During these
forty days of soggy, sweating, rusting
weather, people ought to be unusually
careful of what they eat and drink, and
how they care for themselves, for dog
days are the most unhealthy of all the
days in the year.
PUT IN TURNIPS.
Allow me to suggest to farmers who
have partial crops, to put in turnips by
the acre-say as much as ten acres on
many farms. The ground well prepared
and good seed put in any time before
September comes in. will probably give
them large return for outlay of labor
and seed. Well housed or securely COW
cred in the ground, turnips will go a
very great ways in ekeing OUT fodder
for cattle, sheep and hogs next winter.
Cooked turnips are excellent for hogs,
when they have nothing better.
