Mr.. Editor Thinking you would like
to hear from this community [ thought I
would write you a few lines. Crops look
fine. Wheat harvest is now on hand and
is fine where 1t was sown on good land.
though there was not full crop sown in
this vicinity. Oats is very good corn looks
fine. We had good time to work out our
crops before the rains. We have had good
rains. Cotton looks we'll and the farmers
are up with their crops. We have not had
a better spring to work crop in several
years. The health of our community is
very good just now, though we have had
some sickness that resulted fatal in the
death of Mrs. Alice wife of our dear friend
and neighbour w. G. Needham. So short
was their married life, not more than FIVE
months before death came he claimed her
for his own, but we are confident in the be-
lief that to-day she is an inhabitant of that
house of which there are many mansions
We have preaching in the neighborhood
every Sabbath, and we have organized a
singing society at the Baptist church with
John i. Moore director. OF course he will
soon receive the title of Professor. Singing
every Sunday evening at 2 o'clock. We
have no school in this neighborhood now.
but there will be one commenced about the
first of July. There are several candidates
tor the school. We think that the commits
sisners should select the teacher for it is
impossible to please all of the patrons, and
they should know that he is competent
to teach, and that he not only understands
books, but should understand discipline and
be decisive in character, firm in his man
ners and if his students violate his rules and
it is necessary tofog, why do so with firm
ness. The best men in our country to-day
were logged at school. We learn that W.
ii. Tisdale has taken the contract to build
the leyee and bridges through Cedar creek
bottom, on the Bolivar and Brownsville
road at S4S5, This is piece of work that
has long been needed. What has become Of
liiwatha? We fear that country Hoosier
has caused him to hang his harp on the
willow.

A TRICK OF THE CLAIRVOYANTs

In drawing out the facts of personal
or family history, clairvoyants do not al
ways ask direct questions, but rather make
statements with an implied Interrogation,
to which the victim, oitentimes entirely
unconsciously, responds by word or look,
gesture, or perhaps by all three; and, at a
later stage OF the interview, these secret
facts are artfully given back TO the victim,
who has no recollection of having pre-
viously impaired them, and will not believe
that he has done SO, but prefers to believe
that he is in the presence OF divinity
is not only possible, but easy, FOR a
practical adept to draw out in this way
minute and elaborate details of secret FAM
lily history. A few years ago, while con-
nected with one of the public institutions
of this city, made number OF expert
ments in this line. told the patients af-
flicted with various forms OF nervous and
allied disorders not to tell me about their
symptoms nor give me any facts in their
cases, but to let me tell them: and then !
would proceed TO indicate, after the man
ncro of a claiIvoyant, the locality oftheirmal-
aides, and the history Of their troubles. In
the majority Of cases l was successful, and
made out the diagnosis to the satisfaction
Of those who sought my advice, and with
good reason, for nothing could do pre-
vented them from telling me, although !
asked them no questions: unintentionally
and unconsciously they would guide me at
every stage of the interview. BY little
practice any one can easily acquire this
art; and long study, such as professional
clairvoyants bestow upon this subject, de-
vclops great skill in thus managing and
deluding the unwary and non-expert -

THE INFLUENCE oF cLIMATE.-The infu-
ence of climateupon constitution subject
cd to trying change in atmospheric condi-
tons, in water, and in food, is often marked
and disastrous. Disorders of the bowels
and of the liver, frequently terminating IA

or voyager by sea in unaccustomed latitude
more particularly those near the equator.
The best medical protection against lrregu-
larities of the bowels, stomach and liver,

cause arising, is Hostetter's Stomach Bit

THE National Republican committee
should send the Okolona States fre-eatei
home. His presence in the North, avowod-
ly as Democratic retailer of notification
ideas, has not created ripple on the politi-
cal urface, and is not at all likely to do SO.
And from this fact Republican editors who
have dosed their readers on this mans
editorial bosh, can leain Of the estimate
that has been placed upon their efforts to
mislead the public in reference to the tencts
of the Southern Democracy No body
cares what Col. Harper says as lecturer,
and are equally Indifferent as to what he

When the fever broke out III Memphis
Matte Renos friend deserted her-he
went into some respectable family. Matte
gave up her whole time to caring for the
poor and lowly creatures who were stricken
down by the fever in her neighborhood: All
unmindful Of herself, her. whole thought
seemed to be given up to those afflicted.
She was with them day and night tendcrly
caring for them. The anxiety and physical
strain, after time, fitted her for the fever.
She was taken down with it, and in few
hours, was corpse. Some young men in
the city who had heard Of her kind deeds
gave her decent burial. Her pail bearers
were two clergymen and four young men.
Although sinner in ono sense,
she had heart as loving and tender as an
angels. The local reporter does we'll to
say; "Her acts since the epidemic. warrant
the placing of her name among the heroincs
of the present plague"
Ifthe bible story is all true, we should
like to stand by at "the last day" and hear
Jesus pronounce judgment on that woman.
1t is barely possible that she might have a
higher seat and brighter crown than some
of those who drew their skirts little closer,
and gave hera look Of bitter contempt as
they passed her on the street. She sacrificed
her life to the suffering poor.
One Of the dear old poets said:
Who made the hesrt-'tis he alone
Decidedly can tryus;
lie knows each chord, its various tone
Each spring, its various bias
Then at the balance lets. be mute
We never con adjustit,
What's done we partly may compute,
But know not what's resisted.

THE market price of subterranean holes,
rule high. For instance, Mammoth cave
was sold the other day, for 100000, 1t
was bought by a company OF Eastern
capitalists who will proceed at once to put
it in the best possible condition 10 make its
wonders accessible and TO be seen under
the best conditions. The railroad from
Glasgow Junction will be completed to the
cave, the hotel and surroundings put in the
finest order, the entrance to the cave made
convenient, the other routes made easy and
secure, and such other facilities for thor
ough exploration as will make a trip
through It matter Of pleasure, instead of
of penance as heretofore. The
Frankfort Yoeman thinks the new owners
will make money out of it something its
former managers always failed to do.

The New York Times estimates thatnot
less than eleven tons of shells, pebbles and
sea sand are carried as baggage by every
train that runs from Coney island to New
York. There are seventy trains a day, and
as the season lasts 100 days, no less than
1900 tons Of such rubbish is carried into
New York every year. Having this basis
to build on, it's plain to see that in less than

DYING UNMEPT.

There is certainty now, that that in
fernal canker upon the body Of the Demo
cratic party, known as the Tammany hall
organization, will be crushed out Of exist
ence. The divisions and bitterness it has
brought into the Democratic party
have hitherto been confined, in the main,
to the city of New York, and have, there
fore, worked only local injury. But now
the organization has placed itself in direct
antagonism with the Democratic party Of
the State. Because it could not control the
State convention because it could not de-
| feat the man whose nomination for Govern
or was demanded by On overwhelming
majority Of the party, 1t bolted the conven'
ton, and set up the most conspicuous and
mischievous disorganizer Of its gang as a
bolter candidate. 1t goes before the peo-
pie in open and avowed oppoSition-not to
the Republican candidate for Governor, but
to the Democratic candidate-the regular
nominee of the Democratic party. II don't
expect to be elected" said Jno. Kelly, the boil
ter candidate, "but can carry enough
Democrats with me to beat the Democratic
nominee" In other words, John Kelly,
pretending that he is DEMOCRAT, is a
candidate because he believes his candidacy
will work out the election OF the Republi-
can nominee. He thus proclaims himself
as hostile 10 the Democratic ticket of New
York, and as determined to do everything
that lies in his power to elect the Republi-
can ticket.
1t scarcely seems possible that any hon
est opponent of the Republican party can
cast vote for Kelly, the bolter IN view Of
the undeniablc certainty that, in SO doing
he is giving a half vote to the party he OPP
poses. Yet we are told that 10000 Tam
manyites viii vote precisely that way.
For many years we have abhorred the
frauds, the villainies and dishonest combin-
atoms of Tammany; but We are not pre-
pared to believe that it has effected a
wholesale sell-out to the Republican party.
1t is alive with trickstcrs and political
charlatans, schemers and dead.
beats, we know; but it will tell
a fearful story Of recreancy,
barter and sale, dupicity and political per-
idy, If as many as ten thousand follow the
bolter nominee into his alliance with
Conklng and A. i. Cornell. The recrcancy
and corruption Of halfthat number will be
apt to bring about the defeat of the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor; but no
honest Democrat is prepared TO say that the
utter overthrow and demolition Of the foul
and pestiferous Tammany nest that will in
evitably follow, will not serve as an ample
recompensc to the Democracy Of New York
and of the country at large. For many years
the rotten organization has been q stencil in
the nostrils Of decent men; and if the effect
of the defeat ii seeks to bring to the Demo.
cratic party could be confined TO the limits
of the State of New York, the party a,
large would have solid and substantial
cause, in viewing the final wreck of Tan,ma
ny, for general rejoicing and honest exulta
ton over such result. Let the boilers 90
ahead, then, say we, and ''see where they'll
come to-"
