DESCRIBING d MURDER.

Alick Thompson, OF Virginia, tells
story illustrative of the peculiar YER
nacular of the people among whom he
was born, and Of their special capacity
for giving evidence in court OF Justice in
a compact, accurate and picturesque
style. Some time ago he CHANGED to be
visiting at q county. seat in Virginia,
and was courteously invited by the Com
monwealth's attorney to come into the
courtroom ON the following morning,
with the assurance that witness would
testify in murder case then pending.
He entered the courtroom, and speedily
after his arrival q witness was called,
who advanced to the stand with such O
jaunty air Of self-assurance, and who
kissed the book with such loud-sound-
ing confidence, that he was sure this
must be "his man." His Judgment was
not incorrect.
"Mr. williamson" asked the Com
monwealth's attorney, edo you know
anything of the killing which took place
at Robertson's store last month";"
"Knowanything! was the response
i was thar"
"Then tell the court, and jury" said
the attorney, "what you know"
The witness planted himself more
firmly ON both feet, glanced around
upon his auditors, and thus delivered
himself: "Well. you see, Mr.. Robertson
were a-sittin' in the back part of his
store a-playin' Of his fiddle, not a-think-
in Of bein' stobbed, nor nuthin' of the
kind, when in come Mr.. johnson, and
then and thar stobbed him; then he
gathered bung-starter, cleaned out the
crowd, Tipped the palm, and cl'ared he

The Vaccination Question.

Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.
A correspondent requests the editors
of The Health Monthly to explain in
what manner vaccination does prevent
or mitigate smallpox. Well, if it con-
trolls this fearful malady at all it is by
seasoning the system, so to speak, with
a disease so much like the dreaded one
that the vaccinated person will no
more have it than he will take the
small pox the second time. Kine-pock
is supposed to be mild form of small
pox. Before vaccination with bovine
virus was introduced by DR.. Jenner it
was a common practice to inoculate
with the virus of smallpox. The dis
ease so induced was claimed to be less
virulent than when accidentally con-
tracted. Pasteur is at this time inocu-
lating cattle and other animals subject
to anthrax with the bacteria of this
distemper, and it is claimed that his
experiments are successful and the
animals thus treated do not contract
anthrax when exposed to it. When
inoculated the animal suffers with the
disease in mild form and, if the re-
ports are true, this mild attack pre-
vents the recurrence of the disease
when the herds or fOcks are perishing
with it. If the reports are reliable
the vaccinationists will find in Pasteur's
experiments evidence calculated to
corroborate their claims in regard to
the protective power of kine-pock vac
cination.

which might be settled by local agree
ment, and was not absolutely neces-
sary in the discussion of the matter,
The buildings, too, while being source
of great loss, were not necessary, but
temporary ones could be built and the
land successfully cultivated. The
great trouble was the scarcity of stock
and the want of good seed. The seed
could be supplied and steps were being
taken to do So which, he thought,
would remove this anxiety. AS for the
stock, he saw no way out Of the difficult
ty. Large plantations which hat been
stocked with perhaps hundred head
of farm animals would be left now
with probably six or seven broken"
down and starved beasts. only fit to
die. Some plan must be adopted to
meet this emergency, and it is causing
much anxiety and study.
The commissioners have issued to-
day rations to about four hundred
persons, and new appeals are crowding
in upon them. The river is falling so
slowly that the change can scarcely be
noticed. 1t is certain that the end is
not vet.
The following order was issued from
Gen. Sheridan's headquarters yester-
day:
The secretary of war directs that
the following-named officers detailed
by special orders No. "a, current series,
from these headquarters, under his
instructions, to visit the districts of
country submerged by the Mississippi
river and its tributaries, and to report
to him by telegraph the results of their
investigation, having completed the
duty with which they were charged, be
relieved from such duty-viz., Capt.
Daniel w. Benham, 9TH infantry;
Capt. Jesse M. Lee, 9th infantry; Capt.
John S. Loud, 9th cavalry; First
Lieut.. Simon G. Vedder, 18th infantry.
In compliance with these instruc-
tions the officers named will rejoin
their stations. The lieutenant general
takes much pleasure in complying with
the instructions of the secretary of
war "to convey the expression of his
appreciation for the admirable manner
in which they have discharged the
duty imposed upon them" The secre-
tary, "as an acknowledgment of the
services rendered, grants to each a
delay of thirty days in joining his
proper station"

MY HOME.
ELLA WHEELER

This is the place love the best,
The little brown house, like ground-brd's
nest,
Hid among the grasses and vines and trees,
Summer retreat of the birds and bees.
The tenderest light that ever was seen
Sits through the vine made window screens,
Sits and quivers, aud fits and falls
On homemade carpets and gray-hung walls.
All through june the west wind free
The breath of the clover brings 10 me,
All through the languid July day
L catch the scent of the new-mown hay.
The morning glores and scarlet vine
Over the doorway twist and Irvine;
And every day when the house is still,
The humming- bird comes to the window-siil.
In the cunningest chamber under the sun
I sink 10 sleep when the day is done,
And am walked at morn, in my show-white bed,
By singing bird on the roof DER head
Better than treasures brought from Rome,
Are the living pictures see at home;
My aged father, with frosted hair,
And mothers face, like painting rare.
Far from the citys dust and heat,
/ get but sound and odors sweet.
Who can wonder love to stay,
Week after week, were hid away
In this sly nook, that love the best,
The little brown house, like ground-brd's
nest.

A CHALLENGE REJECTED.

Last evening Mr.. A. Botto telegraphed to
the Ecktord nine, Of Paducah, Offering to
match a picked nine of this city against
them for hundred dollars a side, provided
they would substitute some other pitcher
for the one who held that position in the
game they recently played with a Mound
City club. The proposition WAS
not to take this pitcher out of the
club, but to simply give him another
position in the game and al
low some one who was not professional
to do the pitching. But the proposition
was rejected by the Eckfords; they re-
piled by telegraph, 1--WE play the Eckfords
or nothing"
From this reply it must be as
sumed either that the Ecklords mis-
understood Mr.. Botto's dispatch
thinking thathe wanted them to discard
that expert pitcher from the club entirely,
or else they are afraid to meet the Cairo
nine. But in either case they showed a
consciousness that their strength lies in tho
two professionals, the pitcher and catcher,
whom they so successfully imposed upon
the Mound Cityyouths, with whom they so
easily ''scooped in" the little hundred dol.
lars and proved how true is the old saying
that the fool and his money is soon parted.
The Cairo boys are not to be 80 easily
deceived, they are not so egotshcal as to
think themselves capable OF coping in
the diamond with men who are ath
letes, experienced by years of practice with
the game of ball; who have been active
members of some of the best clubs in the
land, who follow baseballng as a profes.
sion and have connected themselves with
the Eckiords for the special purpose of
taking in" just such conceited young fell
lows and their money as the Rivursides, of
Mound City, evidently are. There was
certainly nothing unfair about the PROPOSE
ton made by Mr. Botto The Eckfords
might have accepted it and then retained
decided, if not an unfair, advantage of the
Cairo picked nine.

WOUNDED.
A dispatch received here from
the president of the Anchor line
company at St. Louis, about
so'clock last night, by Captain Shields,
stated that the steamer Gold Dust had
blown up near Hickman and requested
him to summon surgical assistance and go

ately. Captain Shields chartered the
steam tug "AHaine" and accompanied by
DIS. c. w. Cunning and G, G.. Parker
went down, leaving here about $50

Subsequent dispatches stated that up

seventeen persons had been killed out

cldent happened about three hundred yards
above Hickman. The boat was on her

aud her boilers were pronounced
entirely safe when last inspected. Her ca
pacty was about twelve hundred tons.
After the explosion she caught fire and
burned to the waters edge.
