A letter from this city to the Nashville
Banner, under date of the 9Th instant, has
a medical flavor in its composition, and it
goes for the profession like this:
In this mornings Appeal it is stated
that the medical men are having a little
trouble OF their W now on hand with
reference to the rules and regulations of
the profession. The above is not true, for
the profession is in perfect accord, and the
above originated, no doubt, in the fact that
the Howard Association has appointed ten
men on their medical staff who are not
recognized by the profession-one a ho-
meopathist, and least Objectionable; the
other, DIR. Easton, who was not long
since refused membership in the medical
society. With such men as the Shelby
County Medical Society to choose from,
they feel, as a society and as individuals,
that the Howards have been unfortunate
in their selection. / will, in my next.
try and show why such an appointment
was made.

Ex-senator Scott was asked how
Pennsylvania would go this fall. His
reply was that politics inthe Keystone
State were in an abnormal condition.
The trouble was that the people,
especially the better class of business
men and taxpayers, were too much alb.
sorbed in making money to pay much
attention to politics. Pennsylvania
was pretty much in the same condition
that some ofthe Southern States we're
at the close of the war. The solid
citizens, instead of attending to their
duties as citizens, remained away from
the polls, and, consequently, bad men
controlled the politics of the State.
He thought the chances for success in
the election this fall were about
equally divided.
Ex-senator John Scott and ex-Sen-
ator Thomas A.. Hendricks, though
differing politically, have been life
long friends. They both studied law
under the late Judge Thompson,
president of the Pennsylvania rail.
road, and have both been distinguished
in political life. 1t was said to-day
that ex-senator Scott now i%nclines to
be more independent in his political
views than he used to be.

THE EX-KHEDIVE.
Interview with the Late Ruler Of Egypt

New York Hcrald.l

New York Herald.l
Signor Nicola Lazarro, brother of
the well known deputy of the Italian
parliament, Giuseppe Lazarro. and
one Of the editors Of the Roma. of
Naples, reports the details of an in
terview he had recently with the de-
posed khedive Of Egypt. He saps [
was invited to meet lsmail Pasha at
II am. Hardly had | arrived on
board of his yacht when he at once
invited me to join him at the tavern,
and a general conversation followed.
His excellency was seated in a high
rocking chair, and surrounded by
numerous officers. He was dressed in
European costume, with the Turkish
overcoat, black ~pantaloons and patent
leather boots, and wore a tez. Seeing
me enter he rose and led me Unto a small
cabinet. Here he seated himself upon
q nicely upholstered divan, beekoned
me to be seated near him and handed
me a cigar. While smoking and seated
together in this manner we had a long
conversation, lasting for over an hour.
His excellency had told me that he
had come to Naples because he had
been compelled to leave Egypt. He
had asked the sultan for permission
to go to, Constantinople or to any other
leading city in Turkey, but his re-
quests had been unanswered. Being
thus circumscribed in his movements
he would remain, no doubt, a few
months in Naples.

And then" he continued, while
negotiations were progressing the con-
sulsot France and England told me first
in a friendly, then in an official man
ner that the crisis could only be over
come by my a~bdication. The consuls
of Germany and Austria then did the
same. At last came the Italian con-
SUI, who joined his colleagues by order
Of his government. | told all of these
gentlemen frankly that my powers
we're derived from the sultan, and that
he alone could decide the question.

in reply | received the appointment
Of my son as khedive and then abdi-
Gated" Then entering upon the new
state of affairs, he said Egypt will
pay all her debts. Her resources have
not been wasted, as has been charged
in some quarters. My son is young /;
he has energy and tact, and his minis
try is composed of honest men, who
love their country. But you cannot
force him into anything, nor annoy
him. If they will give him time to
exercise that discretion which the
country desires, Egypt, in less than
two or three years, will have paid her
debts and will move on steadily in the
paths of civilization and progress.
You cannot imagine what a difference
there is in the Egypt of to-day and
that Of fourteen years ago. A perfect
revolution has taken place" When |
asked him whether he thought that
the abolition of the frman of 1873
would injure the future prospects Of
Egypt, he frankly told me that he
could not express an opinion in regard
to this. The ex-khedive is a very
sympathetic man he wears a full
beard, which is turning somewhat
gray, and when he speaks he generally
closes the left eye. He is an excellent
French linguist.

After disposing of this preliminary
conversation we began to talk politics
at last. He hen informed me that the
interference of the powers in the
affairs of Egypt had, more than three
years ago, created confusion in the ad-
ministration. The last cabinet, of
which Nubar Pasha was premier,
brought matters to such a crisis that
disturbances ensued. In this state of
affairs he naturally had to adopt severe
measures, which displeased the pow
ers, and hence resulted the diplomatic
rupture. But" | asked, what was
your object in arming the militia ?"
Not to make war" he said, that was
impossible" But you only had Eng

not Of accord2" but" he said, either
of these two powers was too much for

The Sensational Murder Trial al
Atlanta, Ga.


ATLANTA, june 1.-THE Hill case
was closed Tonight, and has Just gone
to the jury. Ben Hill closed for the
State at 8 o'clock, after having spoken
for four hours. The judge has allowed
two days of argument, and announced
his determination to see the trial closed
tonight. The courthouse was crowd
ed up to the last minute, and hundreds
remained hanging about the doors.
waiting to hear the verdict.
1t is generally believed that Hill
will be acquitted, and that to the
powerful effect Of his own statement
as much as anything else he is in
debted for'this result. He himself is
very confident, and says that he does
not regret having killed Simmons, al
though he regretted the necessity that
brought him to it. His wife is with
him constantly, and seems entirely de-
voted to him. They kiss each other
frequently in the courtroom, and bill
and coo like two young doves. The
case has excited a great deal of feeling
and has exposed a dozen or so married
men of high responsibility. The senti-
ment is strongly with Hill.
LATER-The jury, after calling foi
a recharge, have just brought in a YER
dict of murder in the first degree, with
a recommendation for Imprisonment
for life. The judges charge was very
hard on the prisoner. A new tria.
will be applied for on the ground Of
insanity and the judges charge.

The Grentest or Gamblern.

New York Herald
The weight Of evidence, or rather
Of assertion, is that Garcia, the ia
nous gambler, is indeed dead. He
was a Spaniard, and first came into
fame as a great player at Homburg,
where he arrived with a small capital,
some 5000 or 10000 francs. A steady
run Of fortune in his favor increased
his capital to half a million and made
him lion of the place. NJ. Blanc (who
died two years ago) enjoyed a tilt of
this titanic sort and was also keenly
alive to the advantages Of a gigantic
advertisement, hence he gave the
gambler the privilege Of playing FIVE
times the limit, or maximum, so that
on each roll of the ball $4,000 de-
pended. After a two months struggle
Garcia left Homburg in his own car
riage, drawn by four horses, with the
whole town cheering him, and some
thing like $780, 900 francs in his pos
session. He went home to Spain. built
a church, gave aims literally and
took an oath never to gamble again.
This oath he kept for two years.

but spending the gaming season on
the Rhine, watching the players
with serene pleasure. Unhappily
one day at Baden the Duke de Moray
met him and asked him to play a few
stakes, that he might have an oppor-
tunity of seeing something Of the
wonderful system by which the great
gambler had broken the bank. Garcia
declined and explained that he had
renowned play forever, to which the
duke replied with something Of a sheer
that probably he had been prudent in
doing so. Garcia, nettled at the re-
mark, put down a note and lost it. and
another, and lost that. The duke
laughed so tauntingly at this that
Garcia went to his hotel, stuffed his
pockets with notes and gold and re-
