Memphis and the Yellow Fever.

Senator Stanley Matthews, having re-
turned to Cincinnati from his visit to
Memphis as a member of the Yellow Fe-
yer Commission, said to Il reporter last
week:
"Memphis people dread very much
the recurrence of an epidemic of yellow
fever. They are encouraged to believe
that the severity of the winter will de-
stroy the germs of the disease in this
country, and prevent its reappearing
next season. But in the event that it
should break out again next summer in
New Orleans, the feeling is such that the
people of Memphis and along the river
would certainly isolate New Orleans
completely-if not with law, then with
out law. They would not allow boat
to ascend the river, and if necessary
would plant cannons on the bank to
prevent it. They would not allow Il
railroad train to carry a passenger from
that point. That is their present feel
ing and expressed determination, not
confined to any class"

How Scotch Funerals Were Conducted
in the Good Old Times.

Talking of funerals in the good old
times, and in the mansions of the lairds,
these used to be the most enjoyable OF
our parochial festivities. The kith and
kin came from great distances to be en-
tertained in a style befitting the occa-
sion. There were grave faces at the gath
ering when the guests assembled round
the coffin to listen to a suitable prayer.
The glasses of wine were handed round
once, twice, or oftener-the poorest peo-
pie would procure wine for the occa-
sion-and "the memory of the deceas-
ed" was toasted in silence. Then the
long procession moved off to the kirk
yard, and the body was laid silently in
the grave. That duty being solemnly
discharged, load was visibly lifted
from the assistants. Acquaintance
came together in the carriages and
mourning coaches, and there was plen-
ty of animated conversation. When the
guests took the tables in the dining
room all were in excellent spirits and
appetite. The near relations might be
sad at heart, but they felt Hospitality
bound to stifle their sorrow, and there
were ample appliances for drowning it.
When the old fashion of drinking
healths and " taking wine" prevailed,
mourners were apt to get merry in spite
of themselves, while, as may be sup
posed, the mere acquaintancss of the de-
ceased gave themselves over easily to
boisterous jeviality. 1t was a churlish
thing to be the first to break up good
company, and even the minister might
well sit it out till oonvivial example up
set his decorum.- CoYnhtll Mdgastffe.

Self.made Literary Men.

MIR. James T. Field writes an interest
ing letter describing Bayard Taylor's
first appearance in Boston. 1t reminds
of how many there are distinguished in
American literature who have obtained
this position without the aid of a college.
Bayard Taylor was poor printers boy,
and he became the most versatile OF our
authors, with a reputation in both con-
tinents, and a position of the highest
rank, both in public estimation and in
that of his associates. When he came
to Boston, thirty-four years ago, after
emerging from obscurity into favor
through his own efforts, the two men
who we're the most active in taking him
by the hand were Mr.. James L. Field,
himself then only recently booksellers s
apprentice, and Mr.. Edwin p. Whipple,
who was superintendent OF Boston
newsroom. Many other examples,
both earlier and later, will doubtless oc-
cur to your readers. The whole array
of eminent women who have done so
much for our national reputation would,
of course, be included in the list.
Maria Brooks ("Maria del Occidente'O,
who was so praised by Southey, and
whose reputation is lately revived in
Hayper's Magazine by u. B. Gustafson-
Maria Brooks was the wife of a Boston
tailor. From her, down to Mrs. Stowe
and her later sisters, the list is a strong
one. Take, too, the younger writers of
Boston to-day. Mr.. William d. Howells,
like Bayaard Taylor, began life in a
printing office, and never had the ad-
vantages of a university. Mr.. T. B. Aid
rich got his education only in the
schools and in trade, except what he OBJ
tanned by self-culture, and Mr.. G. p.
Lathrop is not college educated man:
Mr.. f. H. Underwood, the protector and
one of the first editors of the atlantic
Monthly, and very scholarly man, both
in taste and achievement, ought to be
added to this list of those who were not
dependent upon a college education.-

Revenge in Italy.

Two Englishmen, wandering in boat
in the suburbs of Venice, saw an object
in the water surrounded by birds. They
found it to be man, yet alive. His
arms and legs were broken and tied.
and in order that he might not sink a
large demijohn of glass was attached to
each shoulder, which sustained the head
and neck above water. He could not
speak; his tongue hung from his mouth.
His eyes had been pecked out by birds.
The murderers were Luigi Parmaschet-
ii, a farmer, and his two brothers. Par
maschetti had a handsome and ire
proachable wife and daughter of 8
years. Tetaldo, the murdered man, was
employed by him and well treated, but,
becoming enamored of Nine. Parmas-
chetti, he annoyed her to such degree
that her husband beat him and drove
him from his house. Several days af-
ter Parmaschetti started at midnight,
with boat-load of garden produce, for
Venice. His wife was soon awakened by
steps in her ROOM Her door was lock-
ed, but Tetaldo had entered by the win
dow, and he stood before her, knife in
hand. He threatened death if she call
ed for help, but she de-
Tended herself bravely. In the meantime
her daughter, unperceived by Tetaldo,
had crept under the bed, and was wit
ness of the scene. Nine. Parmaschetti
ran round a table, and several times
escaped from Tetaldo's grasp. But he
stabbed her, and she fell in dying con-
dition. Day began to dawn, and Tetaldo
fed. The child then alarmed the neigh
bors, who on reaching the house, found
the woman dead, with thirty-two wounds
upon her body. On the return of
Parmaschetti, himself and brothers
sought Tetaldo, and found him. Par
maschetti plunged pitchfork three
times into his breast, and held him
pinned, while his brothers broke his arms
and legs with an iron bar. Parmascheti
intended then to burn him, but brother
proposed that he should be foated upon
the Adriatic, that the birds and fishes
might eat him alive. This was done.
The three brothers were condemned to
ten years imprisonment with hard labor,
but petition to the King was extern
sively signed in Venice, asking for their
complete pardon.
