A Wonderful Piece of Mechan-
ism

We were shown yesterday at Mr..
I. 4 Burrier's shop, on Market Square,
by the inventor, Mr.. John X. Hawk
ins, of Bulls Gap, Tenn, the most
wonderful piece of mechanism in the
shape of clock we have ever seen.
1t represents the sun turning on its
axis, the earth revolving around the
sun and rotating on its axis and the
moon moving around the earth and
revolving OH its axis and all three
moving eastward around another GEN.
ter which is also revolving toward the
east. The planet Uranus is also rep
resented as revolving around the sun
and on Its axis and its six satellites are
revolving toward the west and on
their axes, also westward. They are
also around another center, which is
also revolving. 1t has SIX revolving
dials; representing the motions of the
sun, earth and moon and showing the
months and day of same, day of week,
hour, minutes and seconds. Grim
death" is represented as whirling
around the planets and with scythe
in each hand-scythe of time-is look
ing around HIM for victims. 1t SIM
plifes and fully explains the causes of
eclipses, ssolar and lunar, and also of
day and night. The balls are of diff
ferent colors and thus by their refiec-
ton represent different distances from
the planets.
We understand that Mr.. Hawkins
examined the patent office at Wash
ingtOn and found nothing approaching
to it. He also made thorough re.
search in New York, and from all the
information he could obtain, there is
no other invention of the kind known.
Mr.. Hawkins has applied fox a patent.

Methodist church last Sunday night
The camp meeting at Double
Springs was largely attended last Sun.
day. Many were there from Hum

great that many came away, We learn,
with nothing to eat.
The camp meeting at Shiloh closed
last Thursday, after an interesting
weeks exercises. 1t is said to have
been one of the best and most profta-
bic m settings ever held there. The
church was graciously revived, and
there were twenty conversions.

FEVER NOTES,

Father Doyle, Catholic priest,
died in Memphis last Monday.
The Secretary of War has sent five
hundred more tents to Memphis.
Vessels arrive at New York from
Havana nearly every day with yellow
fever cases on board. A strict quar-.
antine is enforced, but an occasional
case gets into the city.
The physicians of New Orleans say
the fever has run its course there for
the present summer. and report that
only two cases have appeared in six
days, both of whom are doing well.
Last weeks record in Memphis
shows forty-four deaths, of which
twenty-six were yellow fever. And
yet the doctors do no declare it cpl
demic. What is an epidemic, any,
how?
A petition has been circulating in
Cincinnati, requesting Postmaster
General Key to force the L. q n. r.
r. to run daily mail train to Mem
phis, regardless of quarantine regula-
tions.
Memphis had twenty one new ca
ses and five deaths Tuesday. The fe-
yer is spreading to the northern part
of the city. The only hope to check
it seems to be the the starving out of
the mulish negroes, who refuse to
go into camp and be fed.
A couple of days since car load
of ice shipped from this city out the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, was
fumigated with heated chemicals I'M
til foot and a half of it was melted
all around the edges. 1t was enough
to make the purchaser sick to think of
it, but the health official didn't care.
He was bound to kill the fever germs
on the outside of that ice.-Memphis
Ledger.
Memphis Avalanche: Rev. DR.. S.
Landrum, ore of the best and purest
men who ever lived, left Memphis on
Tuesday with his noble wife. They
will hereafter permanently reside in
Savannah, their old home. For eight
years DIR Landrum has been pastor of
one of the largest Baptist congrega-
tons in Memphis. By his own untir-
ing energies a magnificent church
building was completed. In every
work Of charity he was one Of the
foremost men Of his time. 1t is safe
to say he had not an enemy in Men,
phis. His good, cheerful face was
beacon light that shone into the hearts
and homes of all the afflicted. And
no man was ever more grieved than
the great-hearted doctor himself. Two
noble sons of brilliant talents he lost
in the epidemic of last year.

Eads' Isthmus Railroad Project.

Capt. Eads, of jetty fame, is in
Washington talking up his great
project of connecting the two oceans
at the Isthmus of Darien by means of
gigantic railroad which will take
ships bodily over. All that is neces-
sary is railroad big enough, and
trucks strong enough. The car is to
be in the shape of a cradle and run
under the ship, taking her out of one
ocean, and landing her in the other,
cargo and all, in twenty four hours.
He will remain in Washington until
he has brought his plan to the atten-
ton of the government. The cost, he
says, will be three.fourth less than the
proposed canal.
Capt. Eads is in the highest spirit
over the success of bis jetty plan, and
If he can get government encourage
ment, will embark in the inter-oceanic
project with all the energy ard money
be can command,

National Board of Health.

WASHINGTON, August IA gentle
man who is thoroughly familiar with
tie treatment of yellow fever, and
who is an authority upon the subject,
in conversation with correspondent
to day, showed up in a very inter-
esting way the impotency and
worthlessness of the National Board
of Health. In the first place ne says
that, with one exception, DR.. Mitch
ell, there is not single member of
the Board who has ever had yellow
fever or who knows anything about it
practically. All of the members of
the Board should be required to re-
main in Washington permanently.
As it is, members are only paid SO a
day when the Board is actually in ses-
sion and this does not pay single
member for the loss attendant upon
leaving his practice. The result is
that practically there is no National
Board of health. DR.. Cabel, the Pres
ident, resides in Virginia and comes
here only occasionally. He is a fine
physician, but he is of such yielding
disposition that he never insists upon
his own views. DR.. Billings, who re-
mains here, is excellent in one line,
that of preparing regulations and rec
concentrations, but beyond that he is
nothing but theorist. The result is
that the whole business of the Board
is in the hands of DR.. Turner, young
assistant surgeon in; the navy and a
disbursing clerk. Turner, this gentle
man says, is young fellow who is so
set up by the power given him that he
will listen to no suggestions from any
one, however experienced.

Presidents of Boards of Health and
boards of county supervisors along the
line of his road:
Gentlemen:
If, in issuing quarantine regulations,
you will state to US what specific kinds
Of freight, if any, will be admitted in
to your county or town, it will enable
us to know what character of freight
to refuse for transportation to your
county or town, and in this way we
shall be enabled to cooperate with you
in carrying out your desires.
1t is necessary and desirable that
county and town authorities should
agree upon quarantine restrictions, so
as to have uniformity.
1t is the intention of this company
to comply with all lawful regulations
adopted by the authorities, while it
continues to operate its road.
Your attention to giving specific in
formation in reference to what goods
will be received, is respectfully request
ed.

Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and AGUE
Or Chills and Fever.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for il a superiority over all renee
dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN. SPEEDY, and PERMANENT
cure of Agne and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He refers
t. the entire Western and Southern country tc
bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will il fail to cure II
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however. prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure. if its use is continued in smaller
dosss for week or two after the disease has
been checked. more especially in diffienlt and
long standing cases. Usually shis medicine
will not require any aid TO keep the bowels IN
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire eartbartic medicine, after having tax
en- three e. four doses of the Tonic, q single
dose Of BULL'SyEGETABLE FAMILY Riils
viii be sufficient.
