The immigration movement Just
started in this city is most opportune,
and deserves the hearty support of
every good citizen. The late county
election is proof to the world that the
public mind is set against the rule of
ignorance and fanaticism; none but
good aud true men will be put on
guard, The laws will be administer
ed fearlessly and impartially for the
protection of life and property. We
have a very ~peaceable state of affairs,
comparing fayorably with any of the
older communities in this country or
Europe. Immigrants coming to this
city or vicinity can find not only re-
munerative work, cheap land, and
comfortable homes. but a hearty well
come, good neighbors aud such
churches and schools as they may de-
sire. Rich land may be bought with
in a few miles of Memphis for a mere
song. 1t is cheap because labor is
scarce, and and such as we have is
devoted vastly to the raising of cotton.
There are splendid openings around
here for small farmers and fruit rails
ers. Every thing that a rich soil pro-
duces finds a ready market at very
good prices. Any able-bodied man,
with or without a small family.
can, by industry and economy,
secure a pretty home and make him
self comparatively we'll off if not in
dependent in five or ten years. There
are adjacent counties to Shelby, in
West Tennessee, Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi where land is still cheaper
and where colonies could find large
bodies Of land upon terms that would
suit them. This section of the couu-
try is more productive and has greater
advantages for immigrants than any
portion Of the whole country. They
will be heartily welcomed from the
northern states or Europe, and no
questions asked to creed or politics.
We need more labor here, skilled and
unskili'd The climate is delightful
and healthy. We are free from long
winters aud oppressive summers. A
proper effort made by cur citizens will
induce hundreds and thousands Of
people to settle among us aud thus

FREDERICK MAYS ARREST.
OOuduet at "a Long Branch Hotel
That Led 10 His Being Sent
TO a Police Cell.

GUN lung Bfducu nCLttFtl
Frederick May, of New York, whose
encounter and reported duel with
james Gordon Bennett a few years
ago are remembered, was a prisoueriu
the police court here before Justice
Laue to-day. He had been arrested
on a charge of disorderly conduct al
the West End hotel. He came to the
coast in a yacht yesterday morning.
Qisembarking at Oceanic, he went to
the West End in the afternoon,
but did noS register there nor be-
come a regular guest Of the house. He
was a customer at the bar, however.
and by nightfall was intoxicated. He
soon grew hilarious, beginning with
knocking the hats Of his companions
down over their broWs, and next TAX
lug the same liber.y with the hats Of
s rangers. Then he took possession Of
bhe barber shop Of the hotel, declaring
chat be was going to run that part Of
the establishment, and that nobody
could get shaved there without his
permission. Thus far his ex~uberance.
although noisy, had been confined to
secluded parts Of the hotel. But next
ne wanted to 20 out on the pdblic YER
andas. Col. Presbury and Mr.. Hill
dreth, %proprietors, endeavored to in
duoe him TO retire. But he would
not do so. He said be knew what he.
was abeut,and would dc as he pleased.
Afser a time he went out on the YER
anda on the western side Of the ho,el.
It was then about s O'Clock. There
us conduct w9s such that Officers
SYigerd and Fisher, who were on duty
at the hotel, warned him NOT 10 repea
it, and threatened TO arrest him. He
soon went to the Other side of the
building, on the veranda facing the
great dining room, and became more
Offensive than eyer. M. Presbmy
told him he must 90 away or be az
rested. Young May then. for the
drst time, became angry aud defan5.
Colonel Presbury laid his hand on his
shoulder, in an expostulatory way, and
May turned Oh him ~sayagely.
Seeing that there was no other
course TO pursue, for the hotel YVES
crowded with guests, macy Of whom
lad witnessed Nays conduct, the pro-
prietor ordered his arrest. Oaicer..
Swigerd and Fisher took hold Ct him
aud forced him TO a carriage. He re.
sisted with all bis might, but was made
a prisoner. He was taken to the
pol ce station, about a mile away. He
SAID 10 Swigerd during the ride: IN
shoot you tue next time you cross ny
path.p SEigerd called bis fellow Off
&c s attention 10 the threat. asking
bin to be careful to remember the
words.
At the police station Capt.in Wc-t
was in charge, and he put the prison
err into a cell, Che two officers making
a charge Of disorderly conduct. The
prisoner was aperily laxative at first.
but afterward became quiet. Atll
o'clock some Of Mays friends who
had heard of the fight, arrived at the
Police station. They became respon-
. ble lor his appearance in court this
morning, and on that condition Capt.
West released him. They took him to
the Rowland hotel, where he spent
he night. This morning he went to
cours according to p omise, but as no
complainant appeared he was dis
charged.

At last, however, night sets in.
Grateful it comes after the sun has
gathered up its shifting rays aud gone
down to his rest. All at once we are
plunging into comparative obscurity,
for again there is no twilight to stay
the steps of departing day. At one
stride comes the dark. But, looking
up into the sky, we behold a vast orb
which pours down a milder and more
benifcent splendor than the great
lord of the system. 1t is such a moon

its axis, presents its oceans and con-
tinents in grand succession. As Eu-
rope and Africa, locking the
Mediterranean in their embrace,
roll away to the right, the
stormy Atlantic offers its waters to
view, then the two Americas, with
their huge forests and vast prairies,
pass under inspection. Then the
great basin of the Pacific, lit up with
island fires, meets the gazer's eye, and
as this glides over the scene the east
ern rim Of Asia, the upper portion of
Australia, sail into sight. The India1
Ocean, and afterward the Arabian
Sea, spread themselves out in their
subdued splendor, and thus, in four

UNITED IN DEATH.
A Lowing Couple who Preferred
Death 10 Separation.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, August Is
The shooting of Miss Fannie Howell,
at Bath yesterday, by Edward Park
hurst, 10 whom she had been clan
destinely married, and the subsequent
suicide Of the murderer, have natural
ly caused a profound sensation in the
community where the parties were
well known. A jury was impanelled
by the coroner, but the inquest was
postponed until tomorrow morning.
Meantime the body of Miss Howell
had been taken to her fathers house,
and that OF Parkhurst's to DR.. Kas-
sons a distant relative. Search of
Miss Howelrs body discovered a note
from Parkhurst requesting the inter.
view, and it is evident hat both bad
agreed to die together, as friends
would not permit them to live to-
gether.
AGREED TO DIE TOGETHER.
A note was also found, signed by
both, saying, rather than live apart,
they had concluded to die, aud ending
with the words:--"If we have done
anything wrong, may God have mercy
on our souls" Miss Fannie was an
estimable young lady and highly es-
teemed by all who knew her. Ed
ward, although somewhat dissipated
in his habits, had many friends, and
was a favorite among the young men
of the village. TIE deliberate lntea-
ton Of the parties is further evinced
from the fact that Miss Howell had
but recently and unexpectedly re-
turned froA Crystal Springs, where
she had been s%ojourning for some
time, She was seen 10 enter Park
bursts room, at the Nichols house,
shortly after her return, and be fol-
flowed immediately.
SCENE IN THE DEATH CHAMBER.
Within ten minutes from the time
they entered the room the reports Of
the two pistol shots we're heard. When
the door was forced open the body of
Miss Howell was reclining on a SOFA,
the expression of her face that of one
in a peaceful slumber, aud but for the
horrible wound behind the left ear
none would have realized the terrible
fact that she was dead. Near the foot
of the sofa lay the body Of Parkhurst.
His features were careworn, and,
Judging from his position aud express
sion, his death was not as iustantane-
GUS as hers. After shooting Miss
lowell he had evidently placed the
muzzle Of the pistol to his right tenn
pie, the ball entering the head lea,
the eye aud coming out neal the left
ear. On Parkhurst's body vas fourd
one letter addressed to his uncle, j.
+. Parkhurst, and another to hi
grandmother, residing at Lawrence
vile, Pa. They will be opened to-
morrow. Mss Howell will be buried
at Bath, on Tuesday, at 3 pm, aud
Parkhurst at Lawrenceville, Pa,
probably on Wednesday.

1T was not because OF the wisdom

detrimental to the interests of the

relief came through democratic Iegis-
lation. 1t does not rest in the wisdom
OF JOhu Sherman, secretary of the
treasury, but it rests upon these two
facts: We STOPPED cOntrao ing the
currency at hQms by prohibiting the
retirement of the greenback circulf-
ton. We r|emOnetlzed silver, and put
that atioat as a means of aidirg in the
resumption Of specie payments, aud
