The pround Eagle Of EdgeGeld is cold in
his grave;
His free pinions arc fettereh at last,
Aud the brave heart that nothing on earth
could appal
Has yielded To deaths icy blast.
The hearts Of his soldiers are stricken with
Gricf
And filled with the deepest regret,
For full well they know what alricnd they

All silent and still is his eloquent voice;
Cold in death is the warriors hand;
The eagle forever has taken his flight,
God grant, toa far better land;
And -yc who 50 oftcn have followethispume

Can true witness bear tn II spcn lid career

Wherever in battle we saw his proud plume
There We knew w:s the dcatilieSt fight:

THE Western Lunatlc Asylum
near HopkinsviIlc has been under
the charge of DIR. Rodman for tho
past IS years. Since he has been
superintendent there have been re-
ceived into the Asylum 2,250 pa
tients. About so per cent. Of those
admitted are cured and discharged.
There are now 45l patients i'm the
Asylum, 25 more than the insiitu-
tiOn's proper capacity. DIR. H0d-
man has maintained the Asylum
on the per capita of 5000, expended
$4,000 in buildings and returned
$20,0Oh to the State Treasury as not
NEEDED. At his recommendation
the per capita was reduced TO Sl65,
by the last Legislature. Where Is
there an asylum that can make "A
better report than this?

Age OF the Earth.
Prof. Proctor.

The age of the earth is placed by
sumo at five hundred million years
by others one hundred million years
and still others, Of later time, among
them the Duke of Argyle, places IL
at ten million years. None place Ii
lower than ten millions, knowing
what processes have been gone
through. Other planets 60 through
the same process. The reason that
other planets differ so much from
the earth, is that they are in "A 50
much earlier or later stage of eXis-
teDce. The earth must become old.
Newton surmised, although he
could give no reason for IL, that the
earth would at one time lose all liz
water and become perfectly dry.
Since then ii has been found that
Newton was correct. AS the earth
keeps cooling il becomes porous,
and great cavities will be formed in
the interior, which will take in the
water. II is estimated al this pro.
gress, so far that the water dffnin-
ishes at about the rate of the thick
ness of a sheet of writing paper each
year. At this rate, in G,000,0O0 years
the water will have sunk mile,
and in 15,000,000 years every trace
of water will have disappeared from
the face OF the globe. The nitrogen
and oxygen in the atmosphere are
also diminishing all the time. 1t IS
in an iuappreciable degree, but the
time will come when the air will be
so thin that no creatures known
could breathe it and live the time
will come when the world cannot
support life. That will be the pc
riOd of old age, and then will come
death.

THE foIlowlng aensibla commnnl.


THE following sensible communi-
cation from New Orleans we clip
from the New York Sun. It win
apply as well to Tennessee as to
Louisiana. Win our farmers read
study and profit by il?
In looking at the agricultural re-
sources Of the south, we see that
many common InOney-making
crops might be produced and but
into the markets at the north which
now receive little attention. Cot
ton, rice and sugar are reduced in
prices by over production, while
other articles Of commerce COM
mand a high price on account Of
their scarcity. If more attention
were given to these the result would
be to bring more money from the
north, and by supplying wants
there both sections would be bene-
fitted. For illustration let us con-
slider the possible hay crop of tho
south and the almost unccasing de-
mand for hay in the north, and the
high price il almost constantly COM
inands there.
The hay crop is Of so much impor-
tance in Pennsylvania that it is tabu-
lated as the first crop of the state,
corn being second, and yet there Is
often ademand for hay which that
state cannot supply, and we have
known stock to suffer for want OF
hay when price was offered for II
that was more than double its mar
ket price this spring. The south
could with profit put hay into the
markets Of Ohio and Pennsylvania
in exchange for coal, iron and oil,
for which cash is now paid.
For the sake of making this plain
we will figure on timothy grass, as
called in the north--here known as
timothy and herds grass.
In Pennsylvania the crop il gen.
orally from one to two and Il half
tons to the acre, two tons being con-
sidered large yield. This makes
the income from Sl2 10 $50 per acre
according TO yield and price, as the
price ranges from $40 to $50 per
ton. es,
The soil and climate in Louisiana
are such as to produce the very best
NAOf'o Vi tAuAOtHC3 anu Ntig bRO0
plantation could safely be counted
on to yield three tons per acre,
which would give a better profit
than cotton. Then in addition to
this he could easily put in stack or
i'm the barn thirty or forty tons Of
good timothy hay, which, if baled
and sent to market, would yield
him, at the least calculation, 800 in
addition to his cotton crop. There
are other grasses which yield more,
but a poorer quality of hay. The
Bermuda grass yields from five 20
seven tons per acre; the NJ cans grass
yields about the same, and cattle
thrive on it.
Hard winters should not make
the northern buyer pay $40 or $50
per ton for hay when this region
could so easily aad profitably make
and sell good hay for one-half that
sum. And the better condition of
stock would well pay for the extra
expense of securing for IL plenty OF
good nutritious hay.

The state supreme COurt Decides
that the Present Corporation
il AIubIe for the ola
City's Debt.
Special TO the American,


MEMPHIS, June 4-The State Su-
preme Court at Jackson, Tenn, to-
day rendered n decision holding
that when charter OF a municipal
corporation is repealed, and the
same people and the same territory
are reincorporated as a municipali-
ty under new name, although
with different powers and different
officers, suit pending against the
old corporation at the diite of the
repeal, may be revived against the
new corporation, and that the pres
ent Taxing District, being a success
sor and continuation Of the city of
Memphis, as such is liable to suit
on the old debts of the city.
Your correspondent this after
noon interviewed one of the attOr-
neys in the case, which was pend
ing in the Supreme Court, and in
CURED what the decision meant.
He replied that il means that the
Indebtedness of the old city OF
Memphis, amounting to over five
millions Of dollars, can be collected
through the Federal courts by
means of q mandamus, etc. The
decision has created no little excite
ment, and further proceedings will
be watched with interest, especially
by the taxpayers, who were con
graduating themselves when the
old charter was repealed and the
present Taxing District govern
ment established that they had
freed themselves from an incubus
of debt that was weighing them
down into the dust. a large
amount OF the Indebtedness of the
old city Of Memphis is held by citi-
zens Of New York and Baltimore.

travagance visible in all the archi-

repetition of those times in this era
and in the carbonate metropolis is
something indeed startling. 1t is a
fact however, that the faicings of
the institution mentioned are made

UNLESS we are mistaken, we will
have twelve trunk lines between
the east and west within the next
five years. One line is advancing
parallel with the Lake Shore. An
other is being built side by side of
the New York Central. A third is
going through northern Pennsylva-
MIA to connect with the Wabash
system. A fourth is running
through the interior of New
York to hook on to the Atlantic
and Great Western. Another line
is going down the Cumberland val
ley to the southwest. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio road will be finish

A sensible Chapter.

The Franklin Review and Jour-
nal has the following sensible ar
ticle which we commend to our
readers:
"PatrOnize home industries" is
one of the most important ideas for
the consideration of business men
in this or any community. If our
people would adhere more closely
to this plan they would find that
all the mechanical and merchantile
interests would be materially bene-
flied. 1t is wrong for the farmer to
purchase his machinery, seeds, etc.,
abroad if he can get them at home
on anything like as favorable terms.
1t is wrong to buy from our peo-
pie on credit, and when you get
money to go to other markets and
spend it, thereby making those
who have favored you wait an
undue time for their pay. 1t is
wrong for the mechanics who draw
their supplies from community,
to go abroad for such articles as they
may need. The merchant of all
others should ignore this eternal
run to other markets for such sup
plies as can be had'at home. They
should not set such an example to
their customers. Let every lawyer,
doctor, merchant, mechanic, or
tradesman and farmer stand shoUl-
der to shoulder to each other, and
everything will be benefited"
