The Crnse of All

In the last two years the city of Memphis has buried 5000 of her peO- pie and lost nearly SS,OOO,OOO, in capi- tai and business, through the yellow fever epidemics. The Appeal asserts that filthy gutters, bad drainage and accumulated garbage caused all this distress and ruin. That paper now demands all methods of puridcatiOn bv fire, drainage, fumig2tion, street paving and the most rigorous enforce ment of the well-ascertained laws of health as shall insure the city against the recurrence of the epidemic, other. wise Memphis is threatened with de cav. if moi extinction. The citizens of Memphis are evidently alive to the importance and necessity of sweeping sanitary processes, and there can be no doubt of vigorous measures being adonted 10 carry them into effect. The treat good similar measures did in New Orleans last summer should af- ford the utmost encouragement 10 the sorelv tried people of our sister city Philadelphia Record.

EVENTIDE.

Whenever, with reverent footsteps, pass through the mystic door or Memory's stately palace.
 Where dwell the days Of yore, One scene, like a lovely vision, Comes to ne OCT and o'er. Iris dim, fre-lighted cbambe There are pictures on the wall, And around hem dance the shadows Grotesque and wierd and tall, Asthe flames on the storied hearth -ston, Wavering rise and fall An ancient cabinet stands there, That came from beyond th seas, Wlih a breath Of spicy oders Caught from the Indian breeze; And its tiuied doors and mOidings Are dark with mysteries. There's an old armchair in the corner Straight-back,d and tall and quaint; Ah! many a generation
 Sinner and sage and saint- IL hath held in ils ample bosom Witn nIurmer nor complaint! In the glow Of the fire-light playing, A tiny, 0lithsome pair, With The m uSic of their laughter FIJI all the tranquil air A rosy, brOwn-eyed lassie,
 4 boy serenely far. A woman sits in the shadow
 Watching the children twain. With a Joy so deep and tender It k near akin to pain, And a smile and tear blend softly Sunshine and April rain. Her heart keeps time to the rhythm Oflove's unuttered prayer, As, with stln hands lightly ;olded, She listens, unaware. Through all the childr ms laughter, For football on lhe stair. know the woman who sis fhere, Time hath been kind to her, And the years have brought hertreaSurt Or fran kincense and myrrn, Richer, perhaps, and rarer, Than Lies young r"ses were. But d@ubt IT ever her spirit Hath known, or yet shaii know, The bliss Of a happier hour, As the swift years come and go, Than this in the shadowy chsinber Lit Ry the hearth's fire-glow!

An Officer Murdered.

An OHcer Murdered
 CHARLOTTE, N. C., December s. Some weeks ago a negro named Peter Leach, charged with murder, escaped from the Robinson county jail. This morning the Sheriff of the county heard that Leach was in the vicinity of Red Banks, and sent deputy nam ed Cole to arrest him. It was known that the negro was desperate charac- ter, and the Sheriff armed his deputy with six-shooting rifle, captured from the famous Henry Berry Lowry, of swamp-angel notoriety. Cole went to Red Bank and had no difficulty in as .certaining the whereabouts of his man. He was warned of the danger of mak- ing the arrest, but being so well armed he felt no uneasiness. The negro was approached and the capias read to him. He heard it plainly and then coolly remarked: Do you suppose I'm going to allow such a man as you to arrest mew Almost before he had finished the sentence he drew pistol and shot Cole dead in his tracks, the ball passing through the skull. Not satisfied with this he stepped on the prostrate body of the man and fired another shot. the ball entering the breast. He then coOlly walked away. The terrible tragedy was enacted in the presence of three or four other men. No attempt was made to arrest Leach. As he went away he held the weapon in his hand and no one dared to approach him. Leach belongs to that desperate class of half breeds that have been such a terror to the peOp'e of that section in past years.

 NEW YORK, December 8. - The Times Washington special says con tractors for Indian supplies in Arizona have been detected in defrauding the Indians and the government as well, by means of false weights and inferior supplies. The discovery has created great consternation, and the most de- termined efforts are being made to prevent exposure. Some of the guilty contractors and their friends are now in Washington endeavoring to have matters quietly arranged, but finding the Interior Department determined to punish the imposition practiced on the government and Indians, they have threatened to secure the removal of Indian Compissioner Hayt; and, it is reported that Ex-Governor Mccormick, who appears to be deeply interested in the Arizona group, has already spoken with the President Tn reference to making . change in the COmmis- sionership of Indian Affairs.
