case continued. John Adams paid
S3.75 for being disorderly.
Thomas Williams, a seventeen year
old lad who was grapeyined at Camp
Marks, was brought up this morning
and lodged in the lookup on a charge
of larceny. The youth has a fashion
of backing his face and going about
in imitation of a darky to perpetrate
his rascalities. He is evidently a bad
fellow.
VIM. Grant, charged with stealing

MIR. Genrre AIiIler.s nen,h.

The widow of the late George Mil
Ter, who committed suicide evening
before last, is naturally much grieved
over the self-taking-off of her late
husband. For the last two years or.
more he has been laboring under
mental alteration, and at times was so
much depressed that he was the source
of great trouble both to himself and
those around him. His brother Odd
Fellows, both of the Gayoso Encamp-
ment No. 3 and the Chickasaw Lodge
No. s, to which he belonged, all speak
of Mr.. Miller as a most worthy citizen
and a good man, one who conducted
himself in the most becoming manner
in all the walks of life previous to the
period when his mind became i'm.
paired. For the past eighteen months
Mr.. Miller was unable to perform
labor with any degree of satisfaction
to himself or others hence it became
necessary for his family to seek other
means Of sustaining themselves, and
with this object in view Mrs. Miller
went forth to serve among the sick as
a nurse. The morbid mental condi-
ton Of her husband caused him to
complain at this action on her part,
but deeming her course essential to
the family welfare she persisted in
attending TO her patients, regarding
her husbands circumstances in the
same manner as she would have done
those of a peevish child, and never
dreaming that he would attempt to
kill himself. Mrs, Miller declares
that her husband was not jealous Of
her conduct in any other way than
a child would be jealous Of attentions
paid to another of its playmates OF
associates, and she further declares
that her conduct has at all times been
above reproach or suspicion, as can be
attested by those who are intimate
with her, her own children included.

The success of FaIsehood.

@'NN avn SUM-
Harriet Beecher Stowe has made a
great deal of money out of her story.
" Uncle TOMS Cabin" but not a cent
from its adaptation for dramatic BUR
poses, although no modern play has
been acted a greater number of times.
The Rev. Thomas North. a Chicago
clergyman, is about to start out with a
company that will perform the piece
exclusively in halls and churches, but
never in a theater. He wrote to Mrs.
Stowe on the subject, and she replied
as follows: Il am in sympathy with
the plan you propose, judging that, if
you present it in churches, or rooms
otherwise %consecrated to religious
thought, you will avoid all accessories
that would be undesirable" 1t is not
stated whether she is to be paid a
royalty. The real head of the enter
prise is James Nixon, the well-known
circus and theater manager.

Captain Robbins, the grapevine art

The river between St. Louis and
Cairo has shoaled to six feet, and
boats are having much trouble at
Liberty Island. In the lower Ohio
there is also about six feet. Heavy
rains fell along the upper rivers last
week, and better water is anticipated.
The new company of Memphis Re-
serves have two sick men on their

The residence of Mr., Thomas
Fisher, on Linden street, near the
bayou, was ransacked by thieves last
night or the night before. The vii
lains entered from the rear and the
amount carried off is unknown. The
keys of the premises had been left
with a neighbor.
1t is estimated that not more than
two hundred and fifty persons have as
yet been sick at any one time since
the fever appeared, and the total sick
from first to last will not exceed one
thousand. In 1873 we had over eleven
hundred sick at one time, and last
year double that number,
Mr.. Davis Cockroll who has been
i'll out five miles is able to be about.
He had a light attack of cool weather

of yellow fever anywhere out on the
boulevard in the vicinity referred tc.

Tenn, this morning, speaks as follows:
We have not had any Memphis mail
here for three weeks or a month until
Saturday evening, the 23d, when a
whole express wagon load arrived via

Memphis papers here at ten cents per
copy, and glad to get them at that. [
hope we will have daily mail after this

They evidently designed to throw the
articles in the water but missed it.
The wharfboat folks had the offensive
articles towed out into midstream

would not be a very healthy pickup
for any Of our down river neighbors.

Castor to the position of manager of

in this city, a place to which he has
been temporarily appointed in lieu of
MIR, Baker, who has been transferred
to Texas and Arkansas. 1t would be
eminently proper to confer this honor
upon Mr.. CASTOR, and such conference
will meet the hearty approval Of the
press of this city, as we'll also as the
general community. All who have
had business transactions with the
telegraph Office here will testify to the
genial temper of Mr.. CASTOR as well
as his uniform courtesy to them. If
experience and careful attention to
duty is worthy Of proper reward, the
gentleman will be certain to succeed
permanently to the Managers place.

We understand that petition is being
circulated which asks the railroad author
tiles to change the time of arrival and de-
parture of trains. In other words, to with
draw the through train and put on one to
run from Sleepy Eye to this place about
the middle of the day. We do not know
what interests are involved in getting the
petition granted but we are pretty certain
that there is no general demand in the
community for it. Yesterday we asked a
number of business men, about dozen,
in regard to the matter and not one
favored it and nearly all were strongly
opposed to the proposed change. For
ourselves, we cannot see any benefit that
could result from such a change and we
think we can see some disadvantages.
It would be disadvantage to
any of our citizens who wished to go, on
the road, beyond Sleepy Eye. 1t would,
also, delay our mails. The mail that now
arrives and night and that we get early in
the morning would not arrive till noon.
Our present Saturday night mail would
arrive till Monday noon. We would be
perfectly willing to submit to any general
demand, or wish. for change but we do
not believe that it exists. We understand
that the railroad company prefers to let it
remain as it is.
