NOTICE TO ABSENTEES.


MEMPHIS, september ~, 1879.
EREQUENT applications being made TO
II the Board of Health and Superintendent
Of Quarantine by absentees from here to re-
turn, we deem it best to make this public an
nouncement, that, though the number Of new
cases Of yellow fever and deaths are small
and perceptibly on the decline, it would not
be safe for those who have not had the dis
ease to return yet.
The comparatively small number Of new
cases and deaths is due to the fact that there
are so few unaeelimated people here.
Those who have had the fever and wish to
return will be permitted to do so, and will
be furnished a certificate to that effect on ap-
plication to the Superintendent of Quaran-
tine. None others will be permitted to enter
Memphis before it is officially announced by
the Board Of Health that it is thought there
is no longer danger from the infection, which
will be done at the earliest possible day.

Ehe Longest Beard in the World.


Boston Herald
Our correspondent in Norwich.
Conn, writes that there is a man in
that city who probably wears the
longest beard of any man in the world.
his name Is Henry G. Cook, a tailor
by trade. tie never makes display
OF his beard, but wears it concealed
IN i, little bag under his shirt bosom.
The beard is six feet six inches in
length, and when allowed to fall its
length, it will reach to his toes and
stretch out on the floor ten inches and
looks like large skein of brown
silk. 1t was six inches longer than at
present, but a short time ago he
trimmed it off to its present length.
Mr.. Cook says it has been growing
about tweuty-One years. A year ago
I. /. Barnum called on him and tried
to induce him to travel with his show
but MIR. Cook S mOdesty aad the desire
OF his wife that he should not accept
Barnqms liberal offer, induced him to
reject it. In speaking of Cook IN CON
nection with the man with a long
beard in Michigan, Barnum said
Cooks was by far the longest and finest
OF the two. Mr.. Cook often shows
his beard to visitors, but is not in the
habit OF making q great parade over
It, The truth OF these statements
can be gubstantiated by calling on him
at his place of business.

SECRETARY SHERMAN made an ella
borate statement in regard to the pub
lie debt the other day for campaign pur-
poses, showing that, in fourteen years,
there has been a reduction Of that en-
cumbrance of s729, ,249, lO3 "a. But one
important matter, says the Courier
Journal, Mr.. Sherman leaves untouched.
He does not state the amount of money
which has been collected during the
fourteen years, when there have been no
extraordinary expenses. The govern
ment has collected something over $5,-
000, 900, 900 as far as known within tha,
time, and yet the public debt on June |
was 80 2,027, 1872 ,46s 10. If the idea OF
the Republican financiers was to pay oil
the debt, as they assert, they have done
very little of that business. BY proper
economy they could have paid every
dollar of it out of the revenue. The
money has been shamefully wasted.

mand for cheese In England Is about six

Is much less. In England cheese takes
the place of butter, while in this country
1t is just the reverse, the consumption Of
butter being at the rate Of sixteen pounds

An IMPROVING sEcTIoN'-ih no SCI
ton Of our city has the work of improve
ment been more rapid or permanent tnAh
that embraced in the Eighth Ward. This
wbols section that some years ago was
covered with stagnsnt ponds, and In the
.ummer required frequent visltations
ftom the Board of Health, is now being
r.pidly covered with neat dwellings
There is not q pond to be seen, and the
fsw low lots that remain to tell where the
once busy hands Of our brick moulders
had used up the fine clay, and prepared
Il for the merchantabe article for the
New York and Philadelphia markets,
are dry and covered with a green sod
The whole section having been thorough
" drained, makes it healthful and more
desirable for residences, and it will not be
many years before there will not remain
. single vacant lot between the Chris
tisna and the Brandywine. This Is GER
tain. Because there is no section so near
the great industrial works that must
horder these two streams within the
limits of our city. Nor will it be long
before the Brandywine will be wharfed
and used for lumber and coal yards on
it, southern banks from Poplar street to
Church. The now neglected lots on the
east end of Eleventh street bridge ought
70 be taken up by some large industrial
establishment. There are several indus
tries that require just such lots; and 1t
Il rare to find one so suitable with rail
and water communication 50 conven-
lent. The low lots along the railroad
on Railroad avenue in a few years, at
the rate at which lots there have been
taken up, will be all in use. The popu-
lation of the Eighth Ward is made up OF
mechanics and laborers from the large
establishments that help to make oui
city the hive of industry it is. Those Of
cur citizens who live in the western sec
ton and have not been over the eastern
section will be surprised to find it Sc
thriving and inviting in appearance. Th'
builders in this section, too, have pros
pered houses no where in our city rem

Philadelphia trade were safe and solid
men. But in order TO rise rapidly COM
mercial city needs also a class Of mer-
chants who are ready to risk heavily.
Mercantile life is made up of risks, and
mainly progresses upon the principle Of
"nothing ventured nothing won." Phila-
delphia merchants have had fewer of
this class among them than any great
city. She holds now an enviable posi-
tion and her merchants should congratu-
late themselves upon the fine prospect
that is before them in the near future.

PHILADELPHIA NEXT TO LONDON

PHILADELPHIA NEXT TO LONDON.
The wholesale grocers Of Philadel-
phla made an excursion 10 Lulis DiauIi'
on Friday, where a dinner was served
and toasts and speeches followed. Col.
VIM. l.. Elkins, made a speech, which
was replete with valuable statistics. He
said that "London alone excepted, the ia
cilities of Philadelphia as manufactur- |
ing city are not equalled by any other |
large city in the world. By recent |
and trustworthy canvass it has been as
c,rtained that in the city of Philadelphia
there are 5000 manufactures, with an
aggregate capital of $3.50, 100000, which
give employment to 10000 people, the
product Of whose labor is almost $780,
O00,00 annually. This is far in excess
Of the production Of any other city on
the American continent, or in the world
with the single exception of London.
The education Of 100000 pupils is pro-
vided for without cost to their parents,
while the moral culture of youth and
age is not neglected in the 500 places o,
public worship that adorn our city. Me-
chanics and even laborers are the occu.
pants Of comfortable dwellings, many
thousands Of them being the owners o
their own houses, while in other cite
Of similar size they barely sustain life
and even then are obliged, in order t
do 30, to huddle together in overcrowt
ed tenements. The $50 miles of raj
way tracks and the 1000 city passeng,
cars carry our workmen to and fro
their places of employment at reasonab
rates."
With reference to the foreign trade
our great sister city Colonel Elki
gave very Aattering view of its increa
since the American line of steamers h
been started from Philadelphia to Live
pool in 1878. He said "during the S
years they have been plying the oce
between these two cities, our expo
aggregate $22e, 1913, TAG, and our impo
S140,376,052, while for the six We,
preceding the establishment of that lii
our exports aggregated $103, ,6Ss, 1924, a
our imports $lO7, ,301 ,746, showing
increase of exports in six years of ST.
234, 1922, and of imports of $33, ,O75, 2
or q total increase of our direct trade
the port of Philadelphia since the An
lean line was established of $157, ,31r,C
live were to do the business that we
fairly entitled our direct imports wo
reach S70,0O0,000 annually instead
al, 900 and our exports, instead
being but $4s,OO0,OoO would not be
than $3.50, ,OOO, 900 year, or total
rect trade at the port of Philadelphia

- There Is no reason why Philadell
should not be one of the greatest s
ping ports in the world. She has
most thrifty population that is to
found, and her mechanics and ma
facturers are not excelled. What
has lacked in the past was class of
