find but ten specimens of Bsachio-
pods, representing 8 species and 5
genera. Among these five, we have
Terebratula, Lingula, Crania and
Orbietiia, which have continued
from an ancient lineage, down to-
our own day. These shells, eharac-
terized by lateral symmetry when
divided by line drawn from the
beak to the middle of the margin,
are small and insignificant, though
interesting objects for inspection.
Theprevalent bivalve forms, then,
are Embellishments. We have here,
Ostrea (Oyster), 20 species and 81
specimens. They vary greatly
among themselves-sone varieties
being decidedly unique. The very
attractive and richly colored, fan
shaped Pectens are represented in
considerable numbers. The spiny
Spondylus, and the grand Melea-
grina Margaritifera are worthy of
attention. One specimen of the lat
ter, from California, perhaps s inch
es across, presents a magnificent in
terror pearly surface. Eleven spec
linens of the hammer shaped NAL
leus, from England, thirteen of Pin
ma, seventy-nine of Myrtilus, to-
gether with large representations
of Modiola, Area, Pectunculus, etc.,
complete the second case of
drawers.
The ie third is largely occupied with
the genus Unto fresh water Mus
sels). Over 300 species are here, a
large proportion of which are from
the waters of the Cumberland and
its tributaries. Prof. Stewart, as is
well known, devoted great deal OF
study to this form of life, and per-
haps no one was better acquainted
with the varieties and peculiarities
of its numerous species than he.

stage by Mr.. Sherman. This has
been acknowIed by Sherman him
self. Nor with all these aids and
supports could he have sold his
bonds and so bought his gold but
for the aid of the national banks,
which he has been paying dearly
for. There is not space in the pres
ent article for detailed account of
these transactions suffice it to say
that One of his favorite banks in
New York made over 81 800, 900 by
one ofthem.
But though these financial argu-
ments are specially directed against
the Democrats, they are intended
Indirectly to strengthen Sherman
against the Grant ring of the Re
publican party. If he claims praise
for resumption, he at the same time
condemns the initiation policy of the
Boutwell, finances, and when he
boasts of the faithful collection of
the revenue this year without defal-
cation, he reminds US by implica-
ton that he is the first Republican
Secretary Of the Treasury under
whom this has been effected.
Then he comes to the doings OF
the late extra session, the chief topic
being the failure to make appropri-
ations for the pay of Deputy Mar
shals. In reference to this he says
that "the Republican party is de-
termined to have free but fair elec.
tions, cost what it will" Our read.

MURDER FOR MURDER.

Within the last two weeks two
murders have taken place at widely
distant localities of the United
States, presenting some remarkable
condolences in their surrounding
circumstances. They are the muir
der of II. n. Dixon by Major Barks-
dale in Mississippi, and of l S.
Kalloch by Charles DeYOung in
California. We call them beth
murders, though KallOch was not
dead at last reports, and may re-
cover. Both the murdered men
were candidates for office in a heated
political election in both elections
social questions were involved
which were violently agitating the
communities in which they took
place, and even the race question
comes into both, the negro question
in Mississippi and the Chinese ques-
ton in California, and both events
have been the subject of passionate
controversy in political circles since
they took place.
The first of these, Dixon, was can
didate for election as Sheriff of
Yazoo county, Mississippi, on an
Independent ticket against the reg
ular nominee of the Democratic
partv. He had been Confederate
officer of some distinction, and was
previously to this last election well
known as a keen partisan of the
Democratic party. Much irritation
was therefore excited when he en-
listed as a candidate against the
regular nominee Of the party, ap-
pealing mainly to the colored popu-
lation for support. A deputatiOn
from the party called upon him and
demanded his retirement from the
canvass, to which he consented at
first, but afterwards renewed the
canvass, upon which a second dele
CATION visited him, headed by Major
Barksdale. He was again requested
to withdraw, and on refusing was
shot by Barksdale.
In the California affair, Kalloch
was the nominee of the Working
mems party for Mayor Of San Fran
cisco. This Workingmen's party is
the Communistic organization of
which Kearney is leader. Itincludes
but few who are really working
men, but all the hoodlums and riff
raft of the city, and is as turbulent
a rabble as could be found outside
of Paris. Charles DeYOung was one
of the editors and proprietors of the
San Francisco Chronicle, an organ
of the Republican party and of the |
railroad rings which have long
lorded it in California. 1t had not /

The yellow Fever.

AeInpHIS Appear, Aug. a.
According to the official reports
furnished from the books at the
Health Office, up TO six O'Clock yes
terday afternoon the days work of
the fever footed Up seventeen new
cases and eight deaths. The total
of new cases up to that hour is six
hundred and eighty, and of deaths,
one hundred and ninety-two. OF
the new cases seven are white and
ten colored. OF the deaths two are
white and six colored. The weekly
report from the Health Office shows
that thirty-one persons died of yell
low fever, and eighteen from other
causes, during the week ending at
six O'Clock yesterday evening. The
localities of the sick reported shows
that the fever is now scattered
throughout the city, although the
Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth
Wards still continue to furnish the
bulk of the cases. 1t is impossible
to estimate the true condition, with
the unfavorable changes in weather
conditions.

upon blackmail for its main profits.
During the canvass it had made
Kalloeh the object of many of its
personal attacks, and l<alloch had
retaliated by making some personal
attacks upon the regulations Of some
female relatives of DeYoung. The
latter threatened a personal attack
if Kallocll should repeat those asper-
sions in public. kaIloch did repeat
them and DeYoung killed him.
We have not thought it necessary
to make any comment on eitker of
these transactions; they are both
totally indefensible, and both elicit
our unqualified condemnation. And
here our remarks upon them would
close, but for the remarkably differ
ent treatment which the two cases
meet with in the Republican press
North, though they are SO exactly
parallel in all respects. The San
Francisco affair is treated as a mere
local row with which no one out of
California is concerned, and the
action of DeYoung is in great
measure extenuated on the plea OF
his great provocations. The Mis-
sissippi affair, on the other hand, is
treated us a renewal of the war and
q lust basis for military intervention
on the part of the Federal Govern
ment.
Our own comment is the old
proverb, "Sauce for a goose is sauce
for a gander."
p. S.-Kalloch is not yet dead,
and is reported as improving.

The Coming ToDacco Crop.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: If you
have room in your valuable paper,
| wish to offer few suggestions in
regard to curing tobacco. In the
first place, we enter our protest
against cutting it one day and put
ting fire to it the next, which is the
custom of some of our planters. To
bacco should remain in the hill I'M
til it is ripe. The custom of cutting
to save it from worms and suckers
should be abandoned, and when
this is done there will not be so
much complaint of the low prices
which the planter gets for his best
tobacco. 1t has grown to fine size
and texture, and is spoiled by using
the knife as soon as it begins to
ripen. When tobacco is permitted
to stand until it is ripe, it is an easy
matter to cure it a rich brown or
red color. In some seasons it is diff
fcult to cure it a bright red or mot
tied red. This is always the case
when we have much rain late in
August or during the month of Sep
TENDER, the plant being filled with
sap, which causes it to take the
second growth. When this is the
case, in order to make it bright or
notified red, the plant should lay on
the ground in the sheds or barn
three or four plants deep, just
enough together to keep from heat
ing, which will frequently cause it
to yellow in twenty-four hours. l
have often placed it in this way in
my shed, laying it at least foar
plants thick. Those who have never
tried it will be surprised to find it
following so quick. After it is suf-
ficiently yellow it may be housed
and fire applied at once. Commence
with mild heat and increase it by
degrees until you get it as high as it
is safe to raise it, and continue the
heat until it is thoroughly cured.
The first great mistake made by
the planter is in cutting his tobacco
green, and the next mistake is to
put it in the barn so soon as it is cut
(many times before it has time to
Wilt, and then starting brisk fire
under it, frequently caudling the
plants directly over fire. This pro-
cess of curing makes it dark and
lifeless and shows well only while
in the sweat, and when it passes out
of this state it is lifeless, and, l
might say, worthless, or nearly so.
Now a word as to crop prospects.
| would like to know what market
reported the crop of 1878 nearest
right in the months of July and
August. Can you find out? If the
Agricultural Bureau missed as far
this year as they did last, the grow
ing crop will pan out about forty
three per cent. of an average, taking
fifty per cent. of an average as a true
basis. l believe it is now conceded
that the 1878 crop will not pan out
over fifty per cent of an average.
The Agricultural Bureau placed last
years acreage at eighty-four per
cent. of an average; this year they
place the acreage at seventy-seven
per cent of an average. We will be
glad if you can give US the wanted
information, and also harmonic
the agricultural reports.
