AT the beginning of the trouble at
Perryville, Ark. some fifty miles east
Of Little Rock, several days ago
Judge L. M. Harris was kindly in
formed by the attorneys for the ac-
cused defaulting deputy sheriffs, Geo.
Myers and Flames Isham, that the
matter might be settled if the judge
would resign or leave the the county.
Isham was short $1,000 in his accounts
and lost his item or record book, but
it was afterwards found under a res.
taurant floor. Two men named Pey-
ton and MCGEE were arrested on a
charge Of setting fire to the Times of.
fee, because that paper had comment
ed on the affair. The rufians after
wards sent various threatening notes
to the judge and the editor, following
the warnings therein, by appearing in
the town with arms in their hands.
The judge and editor left for Little
Rock, consulted Gov. Churchill and
went back a few days since in compa-
ny with Gen. r. c. Newton, of the
militia who has been sent out
by the governor to examine and re-
port upon the situation. The county
assessor and two other citizens
of Perry county were subse-
quently driven to Little Rock by the
armed deSperadoes, having been very
roughly handled and threatened with
death, but managed to elude the moi
and walked all the way to the state
caDital.

Cracking Wheat info FIonr.

Minnesota millers no longer grind"
wheat into -four. They 7'crack" It.
and the people of the northwest claim
that the new process makes their hith-
erto inferior wheat the most valuable
in the world. Burr stones are things
ofthe past and Hungarian steel rollers
have taken their place. These rollers
are about thirty inches long and eight
inches in diameter, it takes FIVE sets Of
steel rollers to finish the -four. Each
set Of rollersrun closer than the prece.
ding. After the wheat passes each
set Of rollers it is bolted or siited
through course cloth. This cloth lets
the intergrated PARTICLES of wheat
through and passes off the bulky and
larger pieces, which are run through
another and closer set of rollers and
cracked again. The last rollers have
little else but wheat hulls and waxy
germs Of wheat, which do not crack
up, but smash down like a piece Of
wax. The germ of kernel of wheat
is not good food. 1t makes -four
black. By the old milestone process
this waxy germ was ground up with
the starchy portion and bolted through
with the 1our. By the new system Of
cracking the kernel instead of grind.
ing it this germ is not ground, but
fattened out and sifted or bolted out
while the starchy portions of the
wheat are crushed into powdered
wheat or -four. All the big mills in
Minneapolis now manufacture by Tho
new process.

MEMPHIS KNIGHTS.
Resolutions of Appreciation
Adopted by Memphis Conn
: mandery No. 4.
HATTIE HOUSE,
KNOXVILLE, June II, lSSl.


At an informal meeting of Memphis
Commandery No. 4, X. T., the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopt
ed, ordered to be spread upon the
records, and a copysent to the various
papers for publication:
Resolved, That this oommandery
feels that she cannot leave the beauti-
full city of Knoxville without some
expression of her appreciation OF the
elaborate and lavish hospitality with
which the Knights Templar have been
received and entertained during the
present annual grand copclave. From
knights, ladies and citizens well
come has been warm, op~en-hearted
and open handed. VIZ have not only
be m made to feel at home and at our
ease, but we have been received with
magnificent honors, far above our
merits, and Of a kind that are seldom
won, even by princes of royal blood,
from a loyal, chivalric and proud
nobility. We know not how to
individualize, and to speak of par
ticulars would be a vain and
hopeless task. From our arrival,
weary and at midnight; through the
reception at the princely mansions of
Mr.. 7. 0'Connor and Mr.. James
Cowan; over the magnificent island
home of Colonel Perez Dickinson;
amidst the blaze of beauty at the La
mar house; around the beautiful ban
ouet so exquisitely decorated at the
operahouse; in the cordial greetings
and kind words of the newspaper
press, and above all in the kindly
smile and warm hand grasp of the
warm hearted citizens of Knoxville
continuously, constantly, zealously,
warmly, we have met with a pains
taking attention that has forestalled
every want-met every desire before
it could find expression-and filled
our hearts with memories that will
pour forth in "reminiscences to willing
listeners as long as a knight of Mem
phis Commandery is spared above the
green sod to tell the tale of how hos
pitality can be expanded, and what
the warm word welcome really
means.

On every hand a striking contrast
| attracts you. On one side OF the pub
lie square French cafes, French fash
ions and manners; on the other, the
Moorish mosque, in dazzling white
ness, dating from centuries back, when
Algeirs was the citadel of the dey and
his piratical corsairs were the terror
of the merchantmen of Europe. Even
so late as the commencement OF the
present century Christian captives
ianguished in the dungeons Of the
Kasbah, the dey's citadel, or worked
out their existence in a lifelong bon
dage, unless by some happy chance
their friends became aware of their
fate and we're rich enough to pay a
heavy ransom for them. At this time
Lord Exmouth was sent by the Brit
ish government with two men-ot.war
TO demand the release of some Eng
fish captives, which being refused, he
shclled the town, inficting severe
damage on the dey's palace, causing
him at last to surrender the captives
then in his power. But even
after that the consuls OF the
different European powers were
subjected to various petty in
suits and annoyances, until at last an
insult offered to the French consul,
during an audience with the dey,
caused the French government to
retaliate by sending an army to con-
ouer the country and dethrone the
despot who had so long misused his
power. The town was quickly taken,
but it was sometime before the war.
like mountain tribes were forced to
surrender and they have within the
last ten years at times revolted and
attempted to throw off the French
yoke, but without success, although
they harassed the French troops con-
siderably. Now the Arabs seem to
have resigned themselves to their fate.
They say 1T is the will Of Allah"
and they remain quiet and watch the
course Of events. But in many Of
them there is still lurking a deep
hatred to tt cir Christian conquerors.
The names of the streets present q
strange mixture Of oriental and
modern French. The Rue Babel
Oued," "Bab Azoun,'' Street Of the
Kasbah," take one back to the tales
of the Arabian Nights" while others,
such as the Place du Theater, Iardin,
Marengo, &c, recall modern France.
The upper part of the town is entirely
Arab: the lower French. In the mar
ket place a solemn Arab in white
burnoose, with bare feet and legs,
selling dates from the oasis Of Biskra
or oranges from the interior, sits side
by side with a French peasant woman
seated under a hugh cotton umbrella
behind a pile of fresh vegetables.
And how cheap they are !
Fine ~caulihowers, as large as q mans
head, for four cents apiece, and green
peas at Christmas and New Years
day selling at about seven cents the
pound Aiterward, in the spring,
about April, the prices are greatly re-
duced. Once we we're offered in the
street, by an Arab fruit seller, four
teen or fifteen exquisite, delicate
favored and scented Mandarin oranges
for two cents. How these men live
is a mystery to the newly arrived yisi-
tor, but after a short stay and close
observance of their frugal and tenn
perate habits, one a understand it
better.

A Romantic Courtship.

Nh. Theodore Stanton, son of the
Hon. Henry Stanton, of New York,
was married, May 10, at the American
Legation in Paris, to Mile. Marie
Margueriet de Berry, Of Paris. This
union was preceded by a romantic
courtship. In 1873, when in Paris
seeing the Exposition, the happy
bridegroom noticed one day, in the
Journal des Debates, that a certain
French lady had Just taken a degree at
the Sorbonne. Curious to investigate
this example of French education, he
addressed to the young lady a letter
asking for information on the subject.
This gave rise to q correspondence,
which continued for two years, Mr..
Stanton returning to America after
the interchange of the first letter,
without having made the acquaintance
of his tair correspondent. In the
Autumn of1880 he visited Paris again
saw the young lady, fell in love-not
with her, but with Mile. de Berry,
her friend from infancy, and her con-
slant companion. Now, it happened
that these two girls had long before
agreed to be married on the same day,
and it also happened that Mr.. Stan
toms correspondent had long been
engaged to his intended. So a double
wedding was the result, and Mr..
Stanton's old correspondent became
his sister-in-laW.

The Natural Bridge property is now

early day a place of more general re-
sort than ever, particularly for sum

an agreeable surprise to the public,
no charge is now made for looking al

this property that Mr.. Jefferson, who
was its first owner (having been first

intended to dedicate it to the public as
free to all visitors. According to the
tradition, there was a provision in the
will to that effect; but this is a mis-.
take as the writer has ascertained by
an inspection Of il and of a deed Of
conveyance Of record in Rockbridce
county. The first charge made for
looking at the bridge was twepty-fye
cents, then fifty cents, and finally one
dollar, AT the former prices it was
a source Of considerable income, but
a dollar was more than the public
