MEMPHIS, Aug. 14.-The fever
took sudden jump, to-day, and
now threatens to become general
throughout the city. Forty cases
were officially reported to the
Board of Health, thirty of whom
were colored. This does not in.
clude the cases that are being
treated by physicians and nursed by
the Howards beyond the corpora

spreading and rapidly too, which is
anything but encouraging when is
considered the long time that inter
venes between now and frost. Last
year, it did not begin to spread into
the country until September, and SO
it would be sheer nonsense to try
and form conclusions as to the fu>
ture progress of the disease in its
march toward those cities and
towns that were scourged last year,

Deaah of Horace Hiekox.

We received Information from q
private source Friday of the death
at 6 o'clock yesterday. at the residence
Of his uncle, M, L. Phillips, Esq,
at Athens, Of Mr.. J. II. Hickox, a
young man well and favorably known
In this city. He was for number of
wears an efficient machinist in the
railroad shops, and during his entire
residence here he commanded, in an
eminent degree, the respect and es-
TEEN of all into whose society he was
thrown. Horace was indeed an ex-
emrlary young man, and his
character was without a blemisb, ,
socially or morally. He was at length
compelled to give up his trade on ac-
count of his failing health, from a ten
dency to consumption, and went West
where he remained year or so, but
returned several months since to the
home of his uncle, and has been lin.
geriDg at the point of death ever since
His death will cast shadow of gloom
over many households in Knoxville,
where he was intimately known, and
his relatives have the heartfelt SYM
pathies of all in their bereavement.
Horace was Mason of high rank,
and the members of the Knights
Templar of this city will go down
Sunday morning to bury Inn.

This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the coneomitant disorders. Such
remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui-
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger ofquinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that r. thas gained the reputation of being infal.

as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague OF the West, and the ChiIIs and Fever Of
the South. 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison

ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chils,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted. - ~

AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,

preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, az

on the first approach of the premonitorv svmp.
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer il they avail themselves of the

Death of Capt. Raht, of Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Aug. Is.
Mr.. EDITOR Capt. Julius e. Raht,
OF this place, died suddenly this morn
ing about 8 O'Clock. The particulars,
as we get them, are about as follows :
Early this morning he complained 81
feeling unwell and sent for DIR. Rode
fer, his family physician, who admin
istered to his wants., He was seen
leaving his office in the direction of q
private house by Mr.. H. B. Davis,
who had called on business. Mr.. Da.
Wis, after waiting some time, and hav-
ing heard that the Captain was an
well, became uneasy and went
to the house mentioned and
found him there dead. He was then
carried to his residence by Mr.. Davis
and others who were near by. DIR.
Rodefer thinks the cause of his
death was rheumatism of the heart.
Capt. Rsht will be much missed in this
county. His charity is we'll known
especially to the poor of Cleveland.
Every body regrets his death, and the
universal remark is that it is q ca
lamity on Cleveland, to great extent,
and almost the death-kneH of Duck
town, as it was expected he would
shortly operate the copper mines again
in that place. w.s.T.

corpOrated all the maps, with II com

articles not found in the first edition.
BY this arrangement we are confident
of having the most important combi-
nation of reference matter that has
ever been produced, consisting of a
complete and first-class encyclopedia,
illustrated by 1900 engravings: Il ga
zetteer of all countries; an illustrated
dictionary of languages, containing
more than 800 words, with their deiini-
tions, not found in Webster. A supe-
rior atlas of the world, containing
thirty-five very large maps, engraved
and colored in the highest style of the
art, with an index to each map.
The need of such a work in every
household is increasingly apparent. 1t
is import to adults, by which to gain
the knowledge constantly desired in
business and social relations. 1t is in
valuable to scholars in pursuing their
various studies and to broaden their
range of information. 1t is important
to teachers as a help in affording in

cannot be the slightest question. Our

the fortified ~intrenchments of igno-

wasteful, u%npalatable, unhealthy and
monotonous cookery. Considering ouI
resources, and the yaunted education
and intelligence Of American women,
this reproach is just. Our Kitchens are,
in fact, almost abandoned to the CON
troll of stupid negroes and raw servile
menials that pour in among us from
various foreign countries. And what
is worse, there is II general acquies'
cence in this state Of things, as if il
were something fated, and relief from
it hopeless and impossible. We prefel

and are applying it to all other inter
ests and industries excepting only that
