The citizens relief committee of
Memphis, which has taken prompt
action. has already cared for from
5000 to 1000 refugees from the flood
ed districts and they are still arriving
in that city in vast numbers daily.
Supplies and provisions have been
sent to the various points in Arkansas
and Mississippi by this committee,
but the utmost that can be done by
these efforts is to partly relieve the
most acute cases Of suffering. No ac-
ton has vet been taken for the great
majority of the Inhabitants living in
the interior, whose condition has al
ready been described.
Under these conditions, and having
exerted themselves to the fullest ex-
tent. the local authorities have reluc-
family confessed their inability to
further cope with this distressing sit
uation, unaided by relief from the
government.
1t has, therefore, seemed to me that
the representative of the people
should be promptly informed of the
nature and extent of the suffering
and needs of these stricken people
and I have communicated these facts
in the hope and belief that the legis-
lative branch Of the government will
promptly reinforce the work of local
authorities in the states named.

"MISCHIEF- Is DEAD.
The Famous Three-Legged Collie
Suddenly Stricken.


Mischief the freak collie born at j..
Pierpont Morgan's kennel last spring, is
dead Mischief, as one of MOrgan's stock
brokers might say, was long on pedigree,
but short on legs" Blue blood is to be ex
pected at the Cragston Kennel Of royalty
bred collies, so it was the failure in the
leg supply that made Mischief noted. He
was born with one foreleg missing, but was
as active and happy as though he had as
many legs as centipede. His zeal for
play and tricks, with propensity to Stir
up trouble among his kennel mates, wen
the freak the title of Mischief. IL was con-
ferred by Miss Annie Morgan.
The ownerof Cragston Kennel never seilsa
collie, although he oeca sionally gives one to
friend. Ever since the fact OF Mischief's
birth was first noted Mr.. Morgan s mail has,
in addition to the stereotyped requests for
a puppie, been laden with letters from dime
museum and circus managers, containing
offers for the freak dog, which, Of course,
were declined. Mischiefs skeleton may
now be presented to the New York Museum
of Natural History, or similar institution
The freak was born atabout the sametime
asCragston Masterpiece and CragstOn Horn
pipe, the two puppies that swept all oe-
fore them at the Garden last week. Mas
terpiece beat his sire, Rufford 0rrnonde, In
special. the greatest bench show achieve
inent ever scored by puppy. While his
mates were winning honors at New York,
Mischief ptned in the solitude Of the home
kennel, and succumbed yesterday to a
sudden sickness. A four-Iegged dog could
not have had more friends.

dwells upon Grants aversion to liars.
Gen. Rawlins:
The general always likes to tell an
anecdote that points a moral on the
subject of lying. He hates only two
kinds of people, liars and towards. He
has no patience with them and never
fails to show his aversion for them"
ingalls, adds: Such traits are so foreign
to his W nature that it is not sur
prising that he should not tolerate
them in others. AS a man and boy he
has always been the most absolutely
truthful person in the whole range of
my acquaintance. never knew him 10
u into the slightest ex~aggeration or

imagination in relating an occurrence
One OF the party remarked: Il was

that the general was 'tediously truth

by that was that the general. in men,

Taste for Apples.

Meehan's Monthly: The SUPER
abundance of the apple crop last year
has had one good result for the fu-
ture of the orchardist. 1t rendered
apples so cheap that the consumption
was greater than yer before. A taste
of this kind once stimulated generally
continues; consequently the demand
will be larger in seasons to come than
it has been hitherto. This year apples
have been in Philadelphia markets the
whole year through. Last years sup
ply of late varieties, such as the Bald
win, had scarcely disappeared before
the Russian variety. Tetoffsky, came in
from Virginia. These, of course. will
be followed by better kinds.

was indigenous, and there was never
any doubt about his willingness to be
classed among the black republicans"
or the greasy mechanics" or what
ever else the advocates of the great
est of national reforms were then con-
temptuously called. Perhaps he was
never actually assaulted while preach
ing and lecturing for emancipation, but
over and owe again he had experiences
violent enough to appall any but the
most stout hearted. Over forty years
ago he became president of the Freed
mans College at Xenia, Ohio, and while
holding this position he had much to
do with the insertion of the clauses
against slavery into the general Meth
odist discipline. After the war DR..
Rust was the father of the Methodist
policy of extending schools Tor freed
men all over the South, which has re-
suited in about eighty institutions that
serve as lighthouses of knowledge to
the whole colored race. For years he
has gone up and down the land lectur-
ing and preaching in their behalf, and
now when too old to continue person
al labor. his interest is still strong. DR.
Rust resides in Cincinnati.

Original Abolitiouist,

Rev. DR.. Richard S. Rust is one of
the original abolitionists.'' Ever since
his youth-and he has now reached old
age-he has been active for the well
fare of the colored people of the land.
Before the civil war he worked for their
freedom. Since the war he has worked
to increase their culture. All his life
long he has been connected with edu-
cational institutions for their especial
benefit. He has made'for himself an
imperishable record as an agent of civ
ilization, and his name will never be
forgotten by the freedman of the Unit
I'll States. DR.. Rust was born in New
England, where revolt against slavery
