About MenphIs.


The following pen picture Of the
present deplorable condition Of affairs
in Memphis is from the editorial col
umns of the ST. Louis Times Journal
There is something peculiarly touch
ing in the condition of Memphis since
resortiug to the work of isolation. Be-
fore this step was taken she was prac-
tically isolated from the world. By
strange and inscrutable decree, she
alone Of the cities has to battle with
the fearful foe Whoever left her lin
its was viewed wherever be went with
dread and suspicion, and no one was
invited to go thither. No numbering
trains, no tides of busy humanity flow
through her streets; only the mourners
go about the streets. The steam
ers on the broad river sweep up and
down by her dead marfs, only marked
by weary, longing eyes. The thun-
dering echoes of the iron horse do not
reach the ears of her saddened chill.
dren. Now wherever the pestilence
has struck victim the yellow flag
hangs out, and only physician, nurse,
spiritual comforter, can go in and out
on their sad but useful Offices. No ass
semblies, no sounds of mirth at even
tide. days of quiet and nights of death
like stiffness, 40 labor save ministering
to the sick and burying the dead.
The picture of the beleagureo city IS
full of sadness, but full of heroism
and in its terrible but needed isolation

According to the return of our cot

once only method of spinning when he
portrayed the virsuous Penelope spin
ping tor Ulysses. This method is still
praeticed in the Orient. To spin ten
skeins in twelve hours, or three miles
and fraction of thread, the spinner
walks $4,000 feet or about five miles.
The girl who tends spinning machine
of the latest type, attending to 600 and
sometimes 800 spindles, each of which
spins 5000 yards day, produces a
thread which would reach from Boston
via Chicago to the Sierra Nevadas,
and the girl does not walk at all.

Recalled 80 life by "a slsrieh.

The recall of county girl to life by
a sisters shrek is one of the local top
les of the Journal, Of Evansville, lad.
The young lady lad been quite i'll for
weeks, and was thought TO be dying of
consumption. She had grown so weak
and emaciated that her strength was
no more than child's. One afternoon,
while lying upon her couch, her sister
came IN from a walk and sat by the
bedside. A conversation began, and
the invalid began to speak, As she
uttered the first word she felt a bewil,
dering weakness, and a sinking autter
of her breath. Her eyes became fixed,
the lower jaw dropped as in death and
the body became motionless, while
consciousness disappeared. The sister
leaped to her feet and ran to the door
shrieking to her mother that her sister
was dead. The sound of the shrek
penetrated through the veil of death,
and reused the sinking faculties. the
blood, which had congested the lungs,
was sent back by the nervous shock,
and gathering her strength by strong
effort of will, the invalid opened her
eyes awoke to lifo again, breathless
and amazed at the thrilling peril she
had escaped.

Our Agricultural Notes.

By Distinguished Politician.
Experience shows that strychnine
mixed with fodder has deleterious
effect upon horses. Salt is bad for
them except when applied to them
boiled in the shell.
A sure way to detect the sex of a
canary bird is to throw a live angle
worm into the cage; If he eats it is a
he; and if she eats it is she. We
have found this rule infallible.
Thunder storms are sure to sour
milk. 1t is therefore best not to milk
the COWS in localities where thunder
storms abound.
The best time to raise spring chick
ems is between l and 2 a. IN.
We have found that excellent ice
cream on daught may be had by feed
ing COW small chips of ice with her
salt.
The best quality of butter we ever
met with was Kaskaskia billy goat.
We never turn our stock out to grass
in January; is bad for the tender young
clover buds and mats down the snow
and ice over the blooming flowers.
Farmers who keep mules for dairy
purposes should exercise great care
in milking them. Many fine mule
has been ruined by careless handling,
and we might add in this connection
many a worthy farmer.
Cabbages for the tobacco trade should
be properly sssmped to avoid prosecu-
ton by the iniernal revenue depart
nsa't We find qAold fashioned tin cup
with piecs lemon in it the best
means of ran rye.
"X" writes know what is good
thing for feasg IF the fleas don't know,
it's none of our business, but we sug>
gest ieescrean1tand sponge cake.
Don't let your cattle drink too much.
Many promising steer has filled a
drunkard's grave.
Corn cutting is one of the arts that
few farmers learn to perfection. We
found the bread-knife desirable ac-
cessory when our boots set US tight.
Cats should be planted in the full
of the moon, and the deeper the better.
We have ascertained after eleven
years experience that wether sheep
are not profitable for breeding purpo-
ses. We boughttwenty wethers eleven
years ago and they never brought Us
any return, and we will sell the two
the dogs have left for cheap cash
Sorgum has become great industry,
but no farmer can successfully raise
cane without the assistance of two or
three twelve year old boys.
The most popular season TOR raising
boils is early in the spring.
Beef tea is said to be an excellent
thing to make onions strong.
During the month of August when
the flies get troublesome, the cattle
should be provided with mosquito bars.
A. b. is anxious to know how to
kill mosquitoes. In New Jersey how
tiers are employed, but on our farms
here ordinary shot guns answer the
purposes.

state Sovereignty CONVEX. ton.

From Covington Commonwealth.
It is not proposed to submit the
question of calling a Sovereignty Con
vention 10 the determination OF men
who do not take interest enough in the
subject ia have their votes recorded.
Every other question of public con-
corn is determined by the vote actual

determined in the same way2
In this connection We may add that
the following newspapers of the State

Louisville Commercial,
Lexington Transcript,
Columbia Spectator,
Madison Times,
Flemingsburg Times,
Newport Leader,
Trigg County Democrat,
Muhlenburg Echo,

1t is proper to add that while the
Louisville Commercial has no doubt

The Kiss OF Death.

4 Memphis dispatch of the 26th
relates the following sad incident: Mr..
Jake Kohlbu-g, a Howard visitor, to-
night related to your correspondent an
incident connected with Mrs. Minnie
Wilkes death, which occurred this af-
ternoon at O. clock. just previous
to dissolution she had several attacks of
black vomit, and during the intervals
called upon her husband to kiss her.
Regardless OF the danger that attended
her request her husband time and
again imprinted his kiss upon her,
He was warned of the risk he ran, but
he was faithful to her in death as be
had been in life. She died with her
arms around his neck. One hour af-
terwards Mr.. Wilkie was stricken with
most malignant case, although be had
a severe attack last year. A later dis
patch says that Mr. Wilkie died on the
24th.
