four shots through four windows
on three different nights within ten days
in different parts OF tho city must be taken
as significant, when each shot has been
fired from revolver ola particular calibre.
The awful tragedy Of last night makes the
matter Of serious import to the whole
community. viii the police Of Memphis

don? We hope not. The Gcnd, II these
shots have been fred by one man, must be
run TO earth. 1t is curious fact that
when the ArrrALreportcrs brought TO the
Office the news Of the Taguc and Sclsscl
eases, the idea was advanced that possibly
the same man who had shot through Judge

Mr.. Tague's and Mr.. Secsel's. II was

800 when Lee started to recross the
Potomac One company Of North Car
olna troops in Pettigrcw's brigade was
eighty-four strong in this charge, and lost
every man, officers and privates, not by
capture, but in killed and wounded. The
above was the aggregate loss of Ileth's
division, which would have been still
greater had they all entered the works on
Cemetery Hill. All had reached the lane,
and the Tennessee brigade was the only
one in Helh's division that carried
their standards into the iortiiica-
tons on the hill (cemetory). AS

knowing, but it must have been very
great. am far from being unmindful Of
the heroism and devotion OF other troops

show different department when devel-
oped upon potatoes or in fluid media.
These conditions substantiated by future
research, then we have given the best
description Of this germ OF the yellow
fever yet extant. One thing will surely
result from the publication Of these re-
marks They will tend to inspire re-
search" Having shown that the yellow
fever germ in all probability belongs to
the same group OF ovod ielted organisms
as that of the Southern cattle plague, Dr.
Billings says at now devolves upon us
to support that assertion by calling
attention to the exact resemblance
between the Southern cattle plague
and the yellow fever" This he
does upon testimony furnished by
several recognized authorities, closing
his remarks upon the nature Of those
diseases with the assertion that "they
are both blood poison diseases, due
to the action OF specific germs
bearing as close resemblance to each
other as the diseases produced do in
their local origin and other phenomena"
We have thus devoted a great deal of
space to DIR, Billings discovery because it
is the result OF investigations in new
field OF inquiry and research, and because
we desire to give il the widest possible
publicity in the region of country that
most recently has been scourgcd by the
yellow fever, in the hope that it may lead
TO farther investigations by physicians
at the South, to whose studies Of the origin
and means Of propagation Of the yellow
fever it may give a now direction leading
to results that might hereafter be the sal
walton OF the Mississippi Valley and the
Gulf States irom any other visitation by
the dreaded petilcncc.

THE AssAssiN's SHOT.
The shot that shocked and blasted the
happiness of at least one home on this
Christmas eve, was fired into the east side
of the Seagroves home, from vacant lot.
The house is almost opposite the Vance
Street Car stables. Between ii and Wal

which is the house. II is a two room
structure, on the east side of which is a
large vacant lot, then a negro cabin and
Estival Park. In the east side Of the
house is one window, TO the front room,
and between the two rooms is door.
Behind the house is n large vacant lot,
extending back to the Memphis & Charles

the shot came. The ball was from u thirty.
eight caliber pistol, evidently, MS it made O
hole in the wall that a man could put his

time were the mother and daughter, the
latter lying asleep in her bed, in the west
