A Muttneer Punished.

colored man named James Brown was
charged in the Police Court to-day with max
ing threats toward Mr.. Charles Drexel, the
agent of the Inland Seaboard Company. Judge
Smell put him under $500 bonds to keep the
peace. Brown had been employed as a deck
hand on the steamer Jane Mosely, and at Nor
folk the other day, In company with three
other colored employees of the boat attempted
to get up a small-sized mutiny, on account Of
some trouble they had with the officers Of the
steamer. Upon arriving here all the parties
were paid OF and discharged Since their dis
charge the negroes have been lying around
the Seaboard Companys wharves, making
threats toward the various officers Of the COM
pany. Brown, 1t seems, threatened to kill Mr..
Drexel as soon as he caught him on the streets.
This class of Offenders are becoming very
numerous of late, and harsber measures
should be resorted to by the court to punish
them. Judge Smell very sensibly remarked
this morning that the man who threatened to
take anothers life, in his opinion, had murder
in his heart and meant to carry his thIeat into
execution.

A Place In Thy Memory.

A place in thy memory, dearest,
Is all that claim;
To pause and look back when thou nearest
The sound Of my name.
Another may WOO thee, nearer,
Another may win and wear;
care not, though he be dearer,
II an remembered there.
Remember me-not as a lover
Whose hope was crossed,
Whose bosom can never recover
The light II has lost
AS tho young bride remembers the mother
She loves, though she never may see;
AS sister remembers brother
o, dearestl remember me.
Could be thy true lover, dearest,
Couldst thou smile on me,
would be the fondest aud nearest
That ever loved theel
But cloud on my pathway is glOoming,
That never must burst upon thine;
And Heaven, that made thee all blooming,
Ne'er made thee 10 wither on mine.
Remember me then, o. remember,
My calm, bright love;
Though bleak as the blasts OF November
My life may prove;
That life Will, though lonely, be sweet
II Its brightest enjoyment should be
A smile and kind word when we meet,
And place In thy memory.

The Overlooked Region-Captain in
Uec.s RenOrf

Capt. J. NJ. Lee, of the Ninth Infantry, who
was sent to Memphis by Gen. Beckwith to In
quire into the condition OF the overGowed dis
tricts, has reported by telegraph to the Secre-
tary OF War that all the counties Of Mississippi,
from the State line below Memphis to vicks-
burg, on the river, and ten counties immedi-
ately back of them are wholly or partl ally
submerged. The water coming through the
broken levees flows back again into the Mis-
sissippi through the channel OF the Yazoo.
The lowest estimate places the number of tho
destitute at $4,000, but there are overHowed
counties from which no reports have yet been
received. From Tunica County down to
Greenville a large number OF people are living
on the levees. Capt. Lee thinks that the des
titute must be subsisted for at least thirty
days, and that 360, 600 rations will be required.
The rations should consist Of meat and corn
meal. The distribution, as conducted by the
State Commissioner, Gen. Hemingway, is re-
ported to be judicious and effective.
Mr.. NJ. O. Harris, who was sent to Desha
gate the condition OF afrairs, reports that not
less than GOO families In that county alone are
dependent upon tho charity Of the Govern
ment. Those who have been obliged to leave
their homes are living in rudely- constructed
camps Of brush and cane, and are In immi-
nent danger Of starvation. 1t is scarcely ex-
pected that the waters VIII subside before the
1st Of May. Refugees from Desha County now
their flight from the flood. John McElyen,
who lived in cabin with his family at Cypress,
was walked by his wife one night with the In
formation that their house was going to pieces.
| He tied some OF the logs together with a bed
| cord and the whole family got on this frail
| raft, and after drifting about till the next
| evening, all were rescued near Arkansas City
1t is feared that the effect Of the overflow Will
Colored people are already beginning to mi
crate TO Tennessee and Missouri.

In the Police Court to-day Benjamin Kurtz,
the man who, about two weeks ago, cut Mr..
VIM. Phillips, the master carpenter at the Ma
tional Theatre, in the left side with a knife,
was placed on trial. Judge Oliver appeared
for the prisoner and Assistant District Attorney
Moore for the prosecution. The evidence
showed that Kurtz had been employed under
Phillips and that difference arose between
the two on account of the former charging the
latter with not paying him the amount prom
ised for a weeks work. 1t was also developed
that Kurtz, in tho presence Of number OF
parties, threatened to kill Phillips. Judge
Smell decided TO send the case to the Grand
Jury. Bonds we're fixed at $500.

The Cumberland Coal Troubles.

Tho Homecoming Valley Times,speaking of the
proposed reduction In the wages OF miners In
the Cumberland region, says; "Judg1ng
from what can be seen on the surface, the
miners do not entertain the remotest idea In
yielding. The differences are such as can
only be settled by friendly conference and ar
bitration between the parties directly inter
ested, and We are only surprised that such
conferences were not had before the issue
was squarely drawn. AS tho case stands at
present, we can see nothing more encouraging
In the future OF the coal trade OF Allegheny
County than a long and dis astrous strike, at
tended with the usual prostration OF bust
ness"

SECRETARY HUNT.
A Compliment from southern Re-
pubIfcau paper.

Some OF the Southern Republicans having
attempted to prejudice the people thcro
against Secretary Hunt, the Republican OF Fort
Worth, Texas pays him the following compii-
ment:
Judge Hunt is exhibiting to-day moro IN
terest and zeal than any member OF the Cabi-
net I'm the organization and success OF tho Re-
publican party in the whole South, and espe-
cially In Texas. We are allowed to mako an
extract from recent letter from distin-
guished Republican and Texan, now In Wash
ington ito another and leading mani, which
shows the unfruth OF the charge of Soc
rotary Hunts unpopularity with South
ern Republicans He writes: He
Hunt impressed mo more favorably than any
public offlcer over before met in matters of
business. He even made suggestions rs to
what should do, and how" etc. This Is the
universal tribute OF every Southern man who
has approached him. He Is reported to be ac-
cessibie, genial, frank and always willing and
or political matters. The officers
OF the Navy are said unanimously to regard
him and speak OF him with great respect, and
as the most Jealous and efficient man that his
department has had for years. In his efforts
for the reconstruction OF our navy he stands
pre-eminent II must be small politicians who
are seeking his overthrow, perhaps some who
would like his places and perhaps some not
thousand miles from here, whose personal in
terests he has not subserved as we'll as they
might wish. "Oh, Mordecai, Mordecaii Why

at very low price to any that will buy it,
and gives it to those who cannot pay Itsup-
plies public institutions, asylums, hospitals,

visit every house in the districts assigned
