afternoon and the case given to the jury. Judge
Olin's instructions we're very exhaustive aud ap-

suit, O'DounelD made the opening argument
for the plaintiff, and was followed BY House
and SCHUYLER, latter Of Chicago, for the Com
pany, while P. G. Haley closed for the plaintiff.
There were other attorneys engaged in the case,
one of whom, on the side OF the defense,
slapped train OF thought which led to
reservoir OF intelligence" but those mentioned
above were the only speakers, aud the jur7

Of ''no cause for action,' thus deciding the

It is argued In some quarters that Memphis is
afflicted with yellow-feyer because the City
Government has rep 1diated its debt and become
ata1ing district But isn't this putting the cart
before the horeef The chief excuse advanced
for turning the city into q taxing district was
that 1t had been SO impoverished by the results
Of the yellow-fever epidemic that it couldn't
psy its honest debts. 1t is still true however,
that the epidemic Of reputation has been far
more injurious to the South than that Of yellow
fever, and it is quite possible that the latter Is
aggravated and sustained by the former.

The New York Nation observes that the case
Of the negro Cox, who has just been convicted
of tie Killing Of Mrs. Hull, and sentenced to
death, 'tshows the value Of the old principle OF
Anglo Saxon law which makes the taking Of
life by any one engaged IN the commission Of q
felony murder in the first degree-'' The value
Of this principle is also illustrated in the case Of
JoHx LANE, now under sentence OF death in
this city for killing Policeman RACE. Another
principle Of law helped to convict LAMB, name
II: that when two or more persons engaged in the
commission Of felony, and one Of them takes
human life, they s'e all equally responsible,
ind guilty Of murder II the first degree

That Hampden spends bis breath;
He shall sit there, 1t may be,
Until he ssatEe to death.

They tardily, will bring

Never the tlniest thing,

As warm the ices are,
And everything he tastes be sour
Except the vinegar.
And when the Hampden HES him

Against the gift OF perqutsitas
At any Watertng-place.
But when to Saratoga

The'viilafn walters left him
So relig1ously alone.

And meats Of every dish;

Whatever be did wish.

To keep away the flies, !.
And the rest beamed on him where hs sat
With contemptative eyes,
And when the meal Was ended.
And he had ate his I'LL,
The Chicago man from 'neath hh glass

And to the expectant walters

Testing the Auaipnana.

AT the Indiana institute for deaf
mutes at indianapolis, there took
place recently most interesting cx-
pertinent This was i test Of the new
andiphone, conveying sounds to the
auditory nerve through the medium Of
the teeth. A class Of girls from twelve
TO eighteen years old were provided
with andlphones, and a cabinet organ
was brought IN use for the Iirst time
IN the history Of the institution. A
bright girl Of ten or twelve years was
the fifst to whom sbe test was applied.
She had not heard her own voice or
distinguished any sound for number
Of years, says the journal, and was
regarded as stone deaf ard sperchless.
She had not listened more thai. i min
ute when her features lightened up
with smile that told tlie whole .sso-
ry. Several other children listened
with like result, all being able to dis
tingnish s.ime sound, aid nost Of them
following the different sounds nf the
scale Several deaf mutes also no
ticed the difference between the let
ters Of the alphabet. Oaly one, an
adult whose auditory nerves seemed
to be quite destroyed, failed 10 hear at

tered an intelligent word since she
was quite young, was in aaced 10

thing herself was very reluctant.
Eventually, however. she was induced
to make the effort, and, although she
spoke quite low, being nervous and
afraid TO talk iond, she heard her own
voice quite distinctly The jny which
the young lady felt at this discovery
can be imagined better than it can he
