EUROPEAN ITEMS.

Pestilence follows in the track of
war and famine, and from both
these causes Eastern Europe is
threatened with epidenics original
ing in Central and Western Asia.
One epidemic, originating most
likely in the Chinese famine, is aP
preaching Eastern Russia in the
direction of Astrachan and the
lower Volga. This seems to present
pathological symptoms similar to
those of the Great Plague as de-
scribed by De Foe and at Florence
by BoccaciO. The other, original
ing in anti-hygienic doings in the
Turkish and Russian camps in Ar
menia and Asia Minor, is approach
ing Southern Europe through the
latter country. Germany in the
North and Austria and Greece in
the South are setting on foot vigor-
Gus measures to arrest the progress
of these epidemics. The Russian
Government has dispatched Gen.
Melikoff to the seat of danger with
full powers, but the true remedy fOF
these things cannot be suddenly APP
piled. 1t consists in a complete
reformation of the hygienic arrange
ments in Russian and Turkish cities,
towns and villages, all of which ex-
| list in a state of habitual filth and
stencil incredible TO the Western
imagination.
The British army in Sonth Africa
has met with a terrible reverse. An
advance guard, consisting of seven
or eight battalions of infantry, "a
battery of artillery and an engineer
corps, has been cut off by Tulu
force of 10000 and is a total loss,
amounting to thirty officers. five
hundred men and the whole artil-
/ lery AMI quartermaster and COM
missary train. Large reinforce
ments are being sent to Lord Chel-
lensford, Commander-in-Chief; and
/ the complete subjugatiOn of the
Tulu territory will be forced on the
British Government, a policy to-
tally repugnant TO the desires Of the
nation in the present day, but appa-
Tently inevitable.

At the Halltonian Institute,
Guthrie, KY, a teachers meeting is
to take place next Saturday~Which
pro misses to be of unusual interest.
1t is intended to be a rallying point
for the teachers of Southern Ken
lucky as well as for those of this
portion of Tennessee. All the teach
ers of the public schools in Clarks-
vile have signified their intention
of being present with our Su-
perintendent, Prof. Brooks, at their
head. We have ourselves received
an invitation and expect to repre-
sent the GAINESVILLE Board of School
Directors there. Moreover, several
of our talented young lawyers are
expected to take part in a debate on
the subject of corporal punishment
in schools. It is impossible to value
too highly the Importance of these
meetings in promoting an intelli-
gent knowledge of the art of educa-
ton. Teachers compare notes, and
the experience of one becomes the
experience of all; obsolete preju-
dices wear off under the attritiOn of
free discussion, and the sympathy
and cooperation arising from fire.
quent association tend to elevate
each individual in public estima-
ton through the increased import
ance attained by mutual support.
The hospitality and courtesy of
the Guthrie people are a sufficient
guarantee that the visit will be a
pleasant one.

have always rendered our sincerest
homage to Mrs. H., who, by the
dignified simplicity and refinement
of her social arrangements, has done
much to restore the true American
character to the Presidential hos
FATALITIES and to discountenance the
fashy and snobbish ostentation of
the Belknaps, Babcoclzs and Robe
sons which preceded her time. The
latter was a shabby imitation of
European splendors sustained by
shameless populations; the present
is graceful embodiment of the true
principles of American society of
the best order.

On Monday last Mr. WE'LL had a
negro woman by the name of
Nancy McReynolds cleaning the
grounds in front of the Leavell
place, about two miles from the
city. 1t seems that she had built a
little fire, and when she stopped to
eat her dinner by some means her
clothing caught fire, and before as
sistance reached her was burned to
death. Her clothing was entirely
burned Of, and when the body was
found life was extinct. r. D. Read,
Esq, summoned a jury of inquest
who rendered a verdict that "she
came to her death from accidental
burning"

On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hayes Tecep-

Bradley and Mrs. Bailey, the wife OF Inc

Hayes. Mrs. Bailey j. a sweet-lOoklnS

which Mrs. Hayes adheres to. Every one
present enjoyed the reception. At the close

We cut the above from the Wash

Courier-Journal. We have only to
congratulate the Presidents lady
upon the excellent taste and judg-
ment she has shown in selecting her
assistants in dispensing the hospital
tiles of the White House. No court
in Europe could place around its
throne a retinue of more gracious
and graceful matrOns and maidens
than can be found among the ladies
of our Senators and Representatives
in Congress, and among the whole
circle Mrs. Bailey will not find her
superior in dignity, grace or person

Speaking of Mrs. Hayes, by the
way, we desire TO say that while we
never took much stock in President
Hayes, even during the gushing
period Of his first Southern tour, we

Mr.. John Duff, we regret to learn,
is compelled by i'll health to retire

SINCE Kleemann changed his
business and took to supplying the
inner man with sustenance instead
of clothing the outer integument,
he has commenced supplying our
citizens with many unwonted deli
cacies, among others with genuine
veal. The fatted calf is slain, not
when half-grOwn, as has been usual
here, but in the days of his unspOt-
ted innocency, while his flesh is yet
pure and white like that of a chick
en- or turkey. What we have hith-
ertO consumed as veal is the crude
flesh of. the half-grown OK, too old
for veal and too young for beef. We
have to thank Mr.. K. for the pres
ent of Il luxury unattainable except
where animals are slain in their in
fancy, viz, some delicate veal
sweet-breads, a Wand which tirkles
the editorial palate with peculiar
zest. Would that he slaught-
cred the fatted calf every day and
we were his prodigal son.

THE Indiana Legislature seems in
a fair way to repeal the infamous
gerrymandering by which a large
popular majority in that State has
long been swamped. By an ingen-
ious apportionment of voting dis
tricts, il has hong been so managed
that it takes at least three Demo-
cratic votes to cOunterbalance two
Republican in electing State Leg
islature. This iniquity once RENE
died, Indiana is safe for a Demo-
cratic State for long term of years.

order of Wise NEen.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: 1t may
seem strange TO many of your read
ers that in this age, prolific of
orders and societies, weshould have
among us an ancient order in a
most furnishing condition, number
ing some of our most eminent citi-
zens with its members. Organized
some seven years since, the lodge
has steadily gained favor, and so
quietly has it all been done that few
outside of those directly interested
knew of its existence.
The order is of ancient and histOr-
zeal origin, and embraces all men,
from the honest labOrer to the prince
upon his throne, the artisan and the
man of letters, comforting honor
and wisdom upon all who will obey
its precepts and follow its teachings.
Eastern Star Lodge of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, was granted charter from
the Supreme Lodge of Wise Men of
the United States about seven years
since, and, by virtue of its being
the first lodge in this State, was
created a Grand Lodge, and has
since exercised her functions as
such by organizing new lodges and
extending her sway throughout the
State.
OF its principles am not permit
ted to speak, only saying that its
members will always be found fore
most in all public movements, and
their influence will be felt in the
discussion of our present great ques-
ton, the State debt.
a strong lodge was organized at
Erin on the 9th inst, embracing
some of the best men of Houston
county, and we venture to predict
that in less than six months the
majority of the county will be en-
rolled among its members, and
Houston will stand unit upon the
great question.
Officers of Pallas Lodge No. 43, at
Erin, are as follows:

IN our analysis of the law for the
organization and administration of
Memphis as a taxing district, we
ventured to anticipate trouble and
litigation from the clause which
transfers the property of the old
corporation and its over due taxes
to the State with a view to their
transfer to the new district govern
ment. The article had not been
fully put in type before we re-
ceived the intelligence that Judge
Baxter had appointed q receiver to
take charge of the assets of the old
corporation. This was done at the
instance of bOndhOlders and other
creditors of the city, who claim
these assets as security for their
claims.

common carriers to transport cattle
effected with pleuro-pneulnonia or
any other contagious disease. The
fact that kine-pox can be readily
transmitted. by innoculation to the
human system, strongly suggests
the probability that many other and
perhaps fatal diseases are transmit
