THE Sf,OURGE..

The tenth week of the fever in Mem phis shows slight abatement in the pest It is not yet considered safe. however, for absentees to return, and the following warning has been issued under date of Sept. 20, 1879:
 "Frequent application being made to the board of health and superintendent of quarantine by absentees from here to return, we deem it best to make this public announcement, that though the number of new cases of fever and deaths are still small and pereeptiblY on the decline, it would not be safe for those who have not had the fever to re- turn yet. The comparatively small number of new cases and deaths is due to the fact that there are so few unac- climated people here. Those who have had the fever and wish to return, will be permitted to do so, and will be fur nished certificate to that effect on | application to the superintendent of quarantine. None others will be per- miIted to enter Memphis before it is officially announced by the board of health that it is thought there is no longer any danger from the infection, which will be done at the earliest possi- | ble day. C., B. THORNTON, NJ. D.,
 Pres. Board of Health. "JoHN JOHNSON, Sup't Quarantine"
 The total number of cases for the week ending last Saturday night arc 80 1; number of deaths 3l. Total number of cases to date l,2l6; total deaths SIG. The fever is at Concordia, Miss, vil- lagc of about 200 souls 40 miles from Arkansas City. The health authorities at Laconia, on the Arkansas side keep sharp lookout to see that no one crosses the river at or near there. Also the Arkansas City Board of Health are active and vigilant to prevent any dan ger from infection from this point.

1lInf,ITIT COURT.

The Sept. 1879 term of Pope Circuit Court commenced at Dover last Mon- dayl At l o'clock his Honor Judge Jacoway took his seat upon tine bennh and Sheriff Hogins proclaimed Circuit Court open.
 The village church building was used as court house. Among the attorneys present we noticed Pros. Atty McKennon, Messrs. Davis, Will son, Carter, Burney, Ford, and Gran ger, of Russellyille; MT. Joyner, of Atkins; J. F. Byers of Ozark, and II. NJ. Jacoway and R. c. Bullock of Dar- danellc. Other attorneys, including Col. Sol. F. Clark, of Little Rock, att torney for the railroad, Judge Mans field, of Ozark. will be in attendance at more advanced period in this term.
 The work of impanneling the juries consumed almost the entire aftcrnoon Of the regular panel of grand jurors several had lawful excuses and one failed altogether to put in an appear ance. The panel, however, was filled out from the alternate list, and q very good jury secured, composed of the following names:
 J NJ Harkey, K II Dickcy, H F White, c Brown, K c Brown, s c Davis, A Rachel, Scott Page, J M Henkle, c Burton, c " Bowden, J T Reynolds, R A Barlow, $ Isbell, J B Sinclair, J E Batteniield.
 The charge of the Judge was clear and very exhaustive. The jury was charged particularly to exert their powers to punish and thereby put | check upon such crimes as seem to be becoming too common in the land-- such as perjury, rape, seduction, ma licious mischief, Sabbath-brcaking The Court also impressed the jury forcibly with the necessity of holding all ofli- cials, from road oyerseers up to our highest public servants to a strict ac- countability for all malfeasance, mis- feasance, and neglect of duty in office.
 The Court alluded to the evil which some juries fall into of finding bills of indictment founded upon malicious prosecution--a class of bills which have been a source of great expense, and which are seldom ever sustained. He cautioned the jury to avoid this evil.
 The docket is light and lawyers com A. .I.,tl t<, make paying thing out of this term of the Court--ail of which is good for the DcoDle.

The Genital System.

The Now York Produce Exchange has directed its several trade com. mittees to So arrange that, from October lst, all their dealings in grain, flour, meal. provisions, iard tallow, butter, cheese, petroleum, naval stores. oils, hay, salt, seeds, dried fruit, live and dressed stock, and all other articles that may be dealt in on the exchange, with freights and storage thereon, shall be exclusively on the basis of weight, the unit of transactions to be the pound avoirdupois, and the multiple thereof to be 100 pounds avoirdupois.
 The Boston Produce exchange is also strongly in favor of discarding the bushel and gallon, and adopting the cental system; and throughout the country the principal produce exchanges have expressed desire to aid in this reform, felt to be much needed. The cental is now used in San Francisco, aud throughout Great Britain. And now why not carry this kind of improvement and great promotion of convenience still far ther, and require the standard capac- ity of our flour brrrels to be 200 pounds instead of the antiquated 196 pounds still invariably insisted upon2 And also the adoption of 300 sheets instead of 4S0 to the ream of paper.

Ample Salaries.

American Journal of Education.l
 The Christian Union does itself and our overworked and underpald teachers the justice to say that, 'sIf salaries ever should be ample, it is Tn the profession of school teaching. If there is one place where we ought to induce people to make their pro- fession . life business, 1t is in the teaching of schools.
 Men do not employ, Tn the most unimportant case, q lawyer who has lately left of chopping wood, and has read law for q few months, and who in year or two intends to be a merchant. We want an
 EXPERIENCED MAN
 where there are responsible duties to be performed. In all the sprotes- sions we want the result of education and experience. z&#
 At the very age when angels would be honored to serve children, is the very time when we put them into the hands of persons who are not prepared by disposition to be teachers, and who are continually bribed. as it were, by the miserable wages that are given them, ,sto leave their teaching as soon as they ac- quire little experience. It is . shame!
 A DISGRACE
 to the American people, disgrace to American Christianity. There is no place on earth, next to the mothers chair, where the finest sentiments, the highest instincts and the noblest ambitions should be found more than in the school--and no department of the school where they should be found more than in the primary department. It takes a man that is a man to be q true school master. There is no nobler pro, fession when its possibilities are fulfilled. s VI s #
 England is full of men, in every department of life, who are the pro duct of Arnold of Rugby, the MOST USEFUL MAN
 of his day and generations We do not undervalue the minis terial profession; but the man who teaches in a school stands nearer the open furrows of the young soul. He stands where he can put in seed, and water it, and nourish 1t. Paul speaks of 'sthe foolishness of preach ing" The man who breaches throws abroad seed, and some of it falls among thorns, some npon rocks, and some on the ground; and here and there some falls on good ground.

A most foul and brutal murder was committed in Yell county last Monday morning. A young man by the name of Burgess James and stranger, who also represented his name to be James and claimed to be kinsman of Bur gess, started out from Dardanelle to get work at cotton picking on some planta- ton below Dardanelle. At point about 6 miles below Dardanelle the stranger said to James: tRight here killed one man, and right here l will kill you" and immediately opened n murderous fire upon him with q navy six putting two balls through his body and breaking his arm with 6 third. No. satisfied with this he then clubbed his pistol and almost beat his helpless victims brains out. It was we'll known that James was in the habit of carrying some money on his person and on this occasion he had Sl30 with him which the murderous villain took and left his victim for dead. It appears, however, that he revived sufficiently to relate the whole occurrence to some parties who shortly aftorward came along and found him. The poor fellow died at , D. m. of the same day.
