ADVIRAli RAPHAEL M KM MEW.This distinguished gentleman having once

resided in Memphis, and leaving many friendsand relations in this city, we feel that a moreextendd notica is due to his memory thanhas yet appeared in the Appeal. Raphael

was one of the brightest characterswhich the war developed. He was on theuwia Vnt rtraerai Forrest was on land. Ithas Uen truly said of him by the CincinnatiEnquirer that, as the most dashing and successful partisan warrior ot the seas in recenttimes, hia deeds of daring and wonderfulcareer of success made him one of those menwho achieved fame far beyond any rank theyever held. . lie was born in Maryland aboutthe year 1310. and was consequently fairlyadvanced in lifs at the time our war began, in1661. . Before that time Admiral Semmes hadachieved no especial fame, though he hadrisen to the rank of commander in the navy.and had been selected during Buchanan'sadminis txa(Jon ai secretary of the lighthouseboard. The moment the war began he be-

came a thorn in the side of the government.and with a single vessel made the seas unsafeuntil almost the close of the war. His careerconsisted not only of depredations on mer-

chant sails until the ocean was almost pro-

hibited to unarmed American vessels, but hisexploits upon 'armed vessels of the navy, suchas the sinking of the L'atleras, were not few.lie had no fear of meeting an enemy anywhere near his equal, indeed, it was intrepidity in going out of Cherbourg to attackthe superior Kearsage that caused the loss ofthe Alabama in 1864, and practically endedSemmes 's career. It also almost ended his life,as he fought till his vessel went down, h beingrescued from tie water by an English yachtin the vicinity. He did not succee d in gettic ganother suitable vessel, but he had alreadydone enough to bring England into the debtof this country enormously for permittingthe Alabama to go to sea in the first instanceAfter the war Admiral Semmes wrote a vol-

ume narrating the adventures of the Ala-

bama, which forms an interesting chapter inthe history of the war. In 1866 AdmiralSemmes removed to Memphis and assumedthe chief editorship of the Bulletin, in whichposition he shoved great ability and historical research. He never discussed a subjectwithout presenting new and curious facts"While he resided in Memphis the ladies organized a charitable society for the benefit ofdisabled Confederate soldiers, and established what they calied the Fanny Thurstonfund. Many lectures were delivered for thebenefit of this fund, and more revenue wasderived from the lecture of AdmiralSemmes than from any other speaker,The house was crowded to overflowing. Admiral Semmes selectedas his subject the career of the Alabama, andhe made it thrillingly interesting. While hewas a citizen of Memphis our cordial and intimate social relations enabled us to form ajust estimate of his exalted character, muchmisunderstood by those who had only a superficial acquaintace with him. His ardor,boldness and self-relian- often made himwear the aspect of dogmatism. But thosewho knew him best will testify that hisstrength of statement, however great it mightbe, was never the result of arrogance or

He spoke from the mere honestfrankness of an ardent nature; he practisedno reserve, used none of that cautious phraseology with which men control their feelingsHe was an ardent lover of truth, carried hisprinciples above his sleeve, and had not thatpride of opinion which was attributed to himby those who misunderstood him. ne waspunctilious in the observance of all the nicerproprieties of life. He was refined in all histhoughts and feelings. No coarse or vulgarsentiment ever escaped his lips. In this re--'

spect he leaned almost to femininepurity cf mind. There' wasnothing that annoyed him more,or on which he remarked with greater seven-ty than any violation of the established rulesof decorum, any disposition to meddle withthe concerns of others, or to encroach uponthcx-- e sacred rights which owe their securityto a refined and enlightened public senti-

ment. He was scrupulous in observing therights of others. He hod all the elements ofgreatness; ho was great, and all who knewhim will unite in pronouncing him a modelgentleman." Aduiral Semmes has a son re-

siding in this city, Raphael Semmes, jr., alsoa daughter, the wife of Attorney-Genera- l

Luke E. Wright, and a first cousin of B. J.Semmes, who are deeply grieved at the lossthey have sustained, and who have the sym-

pathy of a community which is proud of thebrilliant fame which Admiral Semmes hasleft as a legacy to his children and his coun-trymen.

GEORUI.CN XEW COSTITlTIO'.Another Radical lie has been exposed.

When tho people of Georgia voted for a con-vention to form a new constitution, it washeralded over the country by the Radicalsthat the new constitution would be full ofheresy and rebellion, deprive the negro ofhis rights and all facilities for education. Butthe constitutional convention has met, per-formed its labors, and adjourned a few dayssince, after preparing a constitution whichhas been pronounced by all a model. At agrand ratification meeting at Atlanta, a fewnights since, Senators Hill and Gordon madespeeches commending the work of the con-vention in highly, laudatory terms. SenatorHill said the new constitution is the bestGeorgia ever had; that it is better than thatof any other State; that it would live longerthan any other constitution; that editors andcorrespondents who have prematurely abusedand criticised the work of the conventionshould hang their heads in shame, and thatany politician who opposes its adoption willbe like a man struck by lightning he won'tknow what killed him. It is confidently asserted that ratification will be carried bymajority so great as to astonish its bestfriends. Senator Gordon praised the work ofthe convention as "irrandly noble." ThisAtlanta demonstration, it is safe to say,has killed off all decent opposition to thenew constitution. And the Georgians arenappy. There is no more delightful and in-

spiring work than knocking carpetbag con-stitutions into cocked hats. The SavannahA'i shows that the difference between theold and the new constitution consists as fol-

lows: The thirty-thir- d section of the bill ofrights in the constitution of '63, which de-

clares that "the State of Georgia shall everremain a member of the American Union;the people thereof are a part of the Americannation; every citizen thereof owes paramountallegiance to the constitution, and govern--

tion is entirely omitted in the new conBtitu

tion, not because Georgia ever expects to as

sert her sovereignty to the extent oi againthdrawinK from the American L nion, but

both because she is unwii.mg to so com

pletely surrender that sovereignty, andconfess herself only a vassal or prov- -

ot the general government, andbecause that clause was put; into uiepresent constitution by the alien fram-er- s

thereof to carry out their own views. TheEmpire State of the south feels her imperialism too sensibly to be willing to so publicly

bumble herself before the Federal govern-

ment, and confess her inferiority to that government. She is a free, sovereign and independent State, and while she does acknowledgeher allegiance to the federal constitution,she never will consent to be regarded as anything else. The remaining points of difference between the two instruments are, in themain, as follows: In the new constitution thesessions of the legislature are made biennial.instead of annual ; the term of governor hasbeen placed at two, instead of four years; salaries of the State officers have been largelyreduced; the salaries of the judges of the su- -

rrcme and superior courts have also beenreduced, the former lo three thousand dollars, the latter to two thousand dollars per

. . . aa 1annum; tne irauduient uuuock Donas navebeen finally and forever repudiated; the ju-

diciary has been made elective by the legislature, instead of being appointed by thegovernor or elected by the people a wiseprovision, which, to a great degree, removesthe ermine from the danger of being polluted by political intrigues and machinations. The homestead has been reduced tonearly one-ha- lf its present dimensions; thecapital question has been taken out of theorganic law, and, with the homestead provision, is to be submitted to the people fortheir final decision, and steps have been takento pay off the present bonded debt of theState, and to restrain both State and localauthorities from creating new burdens whichwill be oppressive or likely to threaten thepublic credit. The Democracy of the wholecountry points with pride and pleasure to thenew constitution of Georgia, framed as it hasbeen by the sons of Georgia, many of themConfederate soldiers, and not by a set of alienenemies, as was the old constitution. RobertToombs was a member of the convention, andhe is reported as one of the most conservativemembers. Blaine, in his infamous Fourth-of- -

July speech, predicted that the Georgia eonvention would manifest a reactory policy, butthe new constitution in no respect disturbsthe negro in his privileges; on the contrary.he is reassured by the prohibition of whipping-po- st punishment. Here is another exposure of Radical falsehoods against thesouthern people; another evidence of theloyalty of the south. Yet, in the face ofthese facts, the chronic haters of Democracywill continue their twaddle about the Bourbons and the extreme men of the south, whoare only waiting for an opportunity to breakup the Union.

Columbu3 (Miss.) Democrat : The negroeshold another emigration meeting at the court-house last Saturday. A iarge crowd was inattendance, and the good order and goodfeeling that prevailed were very creditable.We are sorry to find that many of them stillindulge the illusive hope that "government"will set aside and donate a territory to them,with transportation and the means of start-ing life anew. We have noted some strangethings in connection with these emigrationmovements. The negroes do not complainthat they can not get employment. They donot complain that their wages are too low, ortheir rent too high, or their share of the croptoo small. They do not complain that theylack food that they can not earn food andraiment for themselves and families. Nor dothey complain that the laws do tot protectthem. Their sole complaint is the loss of political power, iney cannot rule tne state.and they will leave it. It is not enough thatthey enjoy the equal protection ot the laws;they must make the laws, or elect the menthat do. As it is written in the book of destiny that white men shall do this in Mississippi hereafter, they propose to shake thedust ot our btate from on tneir leet, ana gointo a land by themselves, where they canmake laws to their beans content, liow odly would the negroes' reasons for emigrationBound to the thousands of destitute whitemen m the north out of employment, out ofhome, out of food, out of raiment, out ofhope!

A Plan wairh Mean Lowerlng therioad-Lla- e of the River Below i

Area Almost as tWreat aw theHtate of Ohio, and the Per-manea- ey

of 200 Mllenof Mirer Uank.

Pitbibun? Commercial: By this time quitea large number of citizens had collected inthe rooms of the chamber, with the expecta-tion of hearing Captain J. B. Eads deliver anAddress on the important aueuon ot tue improvement of western rivers. The board ofdirectors adiourned to the larsre room, fronting on Wood street, in order that all whomio-h- t desire to hear Mr. Eads could be accommodated.. The meeting consisted exclusively of representative citizens, includingmanv nrominent steamboatmen and ccal operators, and its unusual size demonstratedthat the subject is one in which the businessmen of this community feel a deep interest.General Morehead introduced Captain Eadsin a most felicitous manner, ne referred tohim as being a few years slice unknown tofame, but his buildine of the bridge over theMississippi at St. Louis, one of the greatestengineering feats of the age, gave him a widereputation, which has 6ince been extended byhis connection with the construction ot thejetties at the mouth of the Mississippi. Inopening his address, which was listened tothroughout with the deepest attention, Cap-tain Lads said that he proposed to explainthe jetty system, and what it has effected atthe mouth of the Mississippi, and then showhow that system can be applied to the im-provement of the Mississippi river from Cairoto the gulf. He impresses upon his hearersthe importance of bearing in mind that thejetty system rests upon the fact that theMississippi is a supporter of solid mattercarried in suspension by the water. - This isproved by the fact that during a flood a glassof water taken from the surface of the riverwill be found to contain a meat deal of sand.And when there is no flood, sand can be discovered with the aid of a microscope in thesurface water. The velocity of 'the river isthe sole cause of this suspension ot matterWith the aid of a blackboard Captain Eadsthen explained to his auditors how the jettiesnow building at the mouth of the Mississippiwould wash away the sandbar which hasalways been a hindrance to navigation,' andwhich is the growth of the deposits of theriver for one hundred and ten years. Afterthe jetties shall have been completed,will thisbar reform in front of them in a little morethan another century? He confidently asserted that no man could foreshadow such a result in five hundred years. The jetties in theiryet incomplete state are already demonstrating their success by cutting away the sandbar. That obstruction once gone, there willbe a greater depth and a wider expanse ofwater to receive uie seaiment ot the Missis-sippi, with the various currents of the gulf todistribute it, thus enectuaiiy preventing any

oi tne sanaoar.IMPROVEMENT OP TH.E MISSISSIPPI.

Turning to the part of his address of mostinterest here, the improvement of tho Missis-sippi by the jetty system from its mouth toCairo, the speaker said that it rests upon thelollowing tacts:

Jbirst lhat this part of the nver flowsthrough an alluvial bed of its own creation

becond lhat its waters transport m suspension to the sea the enormous mass of sandand earthy matters which aie annually pouredinto this mam stem from its vanous branches

Third That the quantity of solid matterannually discharged into the sea through themain stem or trunk must be very nearly equalto the quantity annually poured into the stemby the branches, for if it discharged less thanit received, the remainder would finally fillup the channel and destroy it, and if it disicharged more the excess must be taken fromits bed, and thus constantly increase its capacity.

Fourth That the velocity of the currentdetermines the proportion of solid matterwhich the river carries m suspension, andthus gives it the power to regulate the size ofits channel according to its own needs. Ifthe current be too great to carry forward thenormal quantity ot Bediment, it takes upfrom the bed of the stream the quantity dueto a higher velocity, and thus scours oularger dimensions, whereby the current at thatlocality becomes gradually reduced; while, onthe other hand, it the current be too slug'gish, it is unable to carry so much sediment.the excess is dropped in the channel, whichis thereby reduced in size, ihis reductionaccelerates the current until it attains therequisite velocity to carry its normal burdenwithout further loss.

IN TIMES OP FLOODFrom these premises it follows that when

a flood is passing down the river the current ismost rapid in the narrow parts of .it, and lessrapid in the wide ones, ihe banks and bottom in the narrow parts are consequentlycut out by the loading-u- p action of the cur-rent, and the wide places receive the materialthus removed. When the flood subsides itwill be found to have deposited natural damsor bars at all of the wide places, while thenarrow ones are proportionately enlarged.When the river falls the conditions are re-versed. The narrow parts, being deepenedand enlarged, become pool-lik- e in character,while the most rapid current is found cuttingthrough the bars or dams which the flood hasleft at the wide places. The method of im-provement indicated by these phenomenaconsists in simply bringing the river to anapproximate uniformity of width. Reducethe wide places to a width similar to thatwhich exists at the deep places, and the riveritself will do the balance of the work. Thismethod involves no straigthening or fhorten- -mg ot the nver, as many have wrongly sup-posed. The whole is expressed in the simplephrase, "Give the river a uniformity ofwidth." This will produce a uniformity ofdepth; this in turn will give a uniformity ofvelocity, and this facilitates the discharge ofexcessive floods, and prevents overflowingof the banks, and renders levees unnecessary.Uniformity of current prevents the caving ofthe banks, and therefore gives stability, to theimprovements that are placed upon them.The normal width of the river, where it isconfined to one channel, between Cairo andNew Orleans, in high waters, is about threethousand feet. In these parts the channel atthe lowest stages is nowhere less than thirtyfeet. A reduction of the wide parts of theriver to three thousand feet would probablygive twenty-fiv- e feet inHthem at the lowestwater. It is needless to say that this systemof improvement isot applicable to the Ohioriver, but only to rivers which flow throughalluvial channels.

WHAT IT AIJ, MEANS.In conclusion, Mr. President, it may be

said that the proposed deepening of the Mis-sissippi river from Cairo to the gulf meansthe reclamation of thirty-seve- n thousandsquare miles of the richest alluvial lands onthe globe, without resorting to an uncertainand expensive system of levees, the first costof which is estimated by a United Statescommission of engineers to exceed forty mil-lion dollars. It means lowering the flood-lin- e

of the nver below the surface ot an area almost as great as the State of Ohio, and locatedin the most genial climate in the world. Itmeans the permanency of twenty-tw- o hundred miles ot nver banks whose de-struction now affords a constant supply ofdangerous snags in its channel, to the greatdetnment ot commerce. Ihe increased valueof the lands reclaimed would greatly exceedthe total cost of the improvement; but thebenefits which would flow from it are vastlyin excess of those I have just mentioned. Theimprovement proposed means the extensionof ocean navigation one thonsand one hun-dred miles inland, from the sea to the mouthot the Ohio, into the very heart of the Iargest, most fertile and the healthiest valley inthe world. It means the rectification ot theonly natural highway to the sea from thecenter of our inland empire, so grand

. in its1 1 t ' i 1 1proportions mat it couia support in comiort

one-thir- d the entire population of the world,and whose abundant surplus is bound in bythe Rocky Mountains on the one hand, andthe Alleghenies and Appalachian chain onthe other. On this highway, once improved,ships that spread their sails in every climeunder the sun may come to the mouth of theOhio, from whence, with the superior econ-omy that results from carrying many thou-sand tons in one vessel, they would return im-pelled with the favoring current of the stream,m safety to the ocean, bearing the over-flowing wealth oi the great valley tothe most distant lands. But even this pic-ture does not fill the mind with half thebenefits that will flow from such a work. Itwould give greater value to every pound ofiron ana steei, every bushel ot coal and grain,and every product of the mine, the mill, thefarm and the forest, within the area that isdrained by the Mississippi; an area the ex-tent of which but few of us comprehend; forif it were peopled as densely as Belgium is.it would be the home of four hundred millionof human beings, and almost every acre of itwould have an increased value given to it bythis work. Surely such an improvement asthis, which is entirely feasible and within thefinancial ability of the government, andwhose benefits can be realized in a few yearsif vigorously pushed, is worthy of the atten-tion of every thinking man. It commendsitself to every patriot who studies his coun-try's welfare and greatness, and to everyphilanthropist who labors to ameliorate thecondition of the human race, for this workwould cheapen food throughout the world.

Coming Subsidies.Washington correspondent of the Cincin-

An-other steamship line, the Occidental andOriental company, will also request a modestBubsidy of five hundred thousand dollars perannum for nominal postal service. It is be-lieved that the effort wili be made to com-bine these interests with Tom Scott's TexasPacific scheme, so that a grand pool can beraised to contribute to the amelioration of thecondition of financially-strande- d congress-men, who sell votes with as little compunc-tions of conscience as they buy drinks.

Nashville, August 20, 1S77.

To the Editor of the Chronl.-le-:

In the Chronicle, cf the sixteenth, thetwpntv-lir.- t and twenty-fourt- h instants. I findan animated discussion of the question of"convict labor, as it is proposed to wont itin the coal mines at Coal Creek. This is aquestion of so much importance to the peo-

ple of Tennessee, and your paper has alwaysbeen so liberal in allowing tree discussion,that I am sure vou wiil not obiect to thepublication of my views, especially when Isav to rou that I am not now interested in mining coal nor in workingconvicts, but am, perhaps, more responsibletor workini? the labor m coal-min- es than anyother man in the State, and have views thatare, at least, as matured as 1 could makethem by thought. The sympathy ex-

pressed by you for the miners displacedbv convict labor will find a response in themind and heart ot every just and fair man,but you will pardon me when I say you en- -tireiy iau to state tne wnoie case. iuo icasoning - ought to be from premisesas broad as the facts. Ihe lacts are,that the State has on hand nowand had when the lease was made.more than one thousand convicts, with avtenitentaarv svstem established, and forwhich no one for manv years has proposed asubstitute which received from the intelligence of the State one hour's consideration.With the further fact that these thousandconvicts by the judgment of courts are to be"confined at hard labor" during their severalterms, the question is not as to the wisdom ofconhmng cnmiaais at nara laoor, tnat is nxea,and the ones tion is what shall be done withthem? How shall they be worked? Thisquestion, it seems to me, you have notdiscussed. The question is this: What canour convicts be worked at, and be least incompetition with, and do least injury to, freelabor? The legislature may have been mistaken m the facts, but some years ago, whenthe Question was first discussed and adopted,the argument which controlled that body wasthat it almost entirely removed the convictsfrom competition with honest labor. It wasadmitted by every single member that convict labor must to some extent come in compe-tition with skilled and unskilled labor. Let meremind your readers that our State archiveswill show, through the last thirty years, morememorials, petitions and protests from ourmechanics and laborers against the usethen made of convict labor, and with morejustice than against all other evils put together, lo mae mechanics, iounae,rs,coopers, blacksmiths, shoemakers, painters,tailors, out of convicted f elons, and put themout on the community, after competing inprison with all the-- ' free mechanics in theState, was the erring evil of one wholegeneration. More recently nearly all theworkshops m INashvule, as well as in otherparts of the State.have been broken dip ormade to run the gauntlet with convict labor.After years of sinfe between the State andmechanics, the writer made the argumentbefoie the legislature that while we had thou-sands of mechanics and free laborers whowanted work in the shops, on tho streets, onoar wharves, and in all the departments oflabor above ground,- wc had in lennesseeonly a tew men then not three hundred,now not five hundred who wanted to orwould work steadily under ground diggingcoal, and admitting that to put our convictsto digging coal would be in competition witha few men, it was maintained and shown beyond a doubt that there was nothing thatthey could be put at where they would be solittle in competition with honest, free labor.Then it was maintained, that put in the minesthey would be easily guarded, and instead ofbeing in competition with the mechanic theywould be helping him by furnishing h:m andall other consumers, cheap coal. Whateverthe certainty may be about a supply ot coalin Pennsylvania and Ohio, where miners, tosome extent, compete with each other, I canstate as a fact, that up to the time convict laborwas put in the mines iu Tennesseeno coal company desired to make contractswith manufacturers and railroads for a certainfixed and daily supply of coal, and if the con-victs were to-da- y removed from the mines inTennessee, no responsible company, able topay damages, would for a moment thinkof making such contracts without conditions.The Tennessee coal nad railroad company,having steady labor, S?enabled to supply rail-roads and manufacturers using large quanti-ties of ooke and coal as cheap, if not cheaper,than it is done in the United States. No ben-efit arising from convict labor could be sogenerally distributed as cheap coal. Up tothe time tnis labor was worked in the mines,every effort to bring miners from Pennsylvania who could and would do the coal miningneeded, proved a taiiure. It was found atthe last session cf the legislature, when thewhole question was fully considered all thearguments weighed that the coaJrmincs wasthe place for our convicts, and a contract hasbeen made that gives the State, for the sixyears, about four hundred and ninety-tw- o

thousand dollars; whereas, before the convicts were put in the mines, m forty-on- e yearsthe prison paid expenses only two, there being an appropriation thirty-nin- e years out ofthe forty-on- e to feed and clothe the convictsThe legislature, at the last sessionin deciding what should be done, adopted thebest policy of working the labor in the coalmines; not so much because the pnson wouldmake money, but because fewer laboringpeople would be hurt by it thua worked thanin any other way. The difference betweenthe view presented by you and the view takenby the legislature is that you are watchingthe interests of the miners at Coal Creek, butthe legislature was taking care ot the laboring people of the whole State. That theminers of Anderson county will be disturbedby this labor is to be regretted, but they are,I have no doubt, good citizens, and. as such.must acquiesce in a decision that was madealmost entirely for the benefit and in the interest of the laboring people of the State, ineluding not alone coal-miner- s,' but mechanicsand laborers of all classes. To point out howone thousand convicts can be employed inlennessee with as little lmurv to the laboring people (including all classes) as when inthe coal-min- will be an interesting subjecttor some one ot your correspondents.

The Chinese Complaint.Louisville Courier-Journ- al : The Chinese

merchants of California, in their remon-strance which they have placed in the handsof Senator Morton to be presented to con-gress, claim to represent one hundred andtwenty thousand laborers in that State andthe whole Chinese empire of four hundredmillion souls. They profess to desire thatChinese immigration be stopped, and ask pro-tection for their countrymen now here. One-thir- d

of all the Chinamen in this country,'they say, would gladly return to China iffree passage could be had. Meanwhile, agreat pottion of the white population of Cal-

ifornia is making strenuous efforts to driveChinese workmen from all employments. Ev-ery family and every factory is requested todischarge them, and it is said that most ofthe factories have agreed to their dismissal.Poor John is subjected to the greatest injus-tice on all hands on account of his multiplic-ity and cheapness, and it may be that con-gress can do him no better service than tosend him back to his own unpromising coun-try.

TO VALLIK VANCE, II V ADA MALONK.

The sweet Mayflowers hid faded faded with thewaning moon,

Bnt all the earth was lovely with the rose-re- d blushof June;

It seemed that every human heart should wake somehappy chime.

To Jo'h the sweet bird-raptu- re of Ihe glorious sum-mer time.

I listened for the happy song of some unburdenedheart

I heard Instead a walling cry that made my pulsesstart:

Two white arms twined about my neck, a fair headon my breast

What grief had brought my little bird once more untoIts nest?

I kissed her brow In silence, waiting patiently toknow

What cruel thing had come to touoh and grieve mydarling so;

The soft brown eyes looked up to mine the sweetlids trembling said:

"Oh, mamma! mamma! rjfell down and broke offMabel's head! '

The white arms tightened once again I'm notashamed to own

The grief within those troubled eyes brought tearsinto my own;

My heart went groping backward, through a wearywaste of years.

And knelt beside some tiny graves, bedewed withchildish tears.

The first, a playful kitten, whose glossy, silken he.idWas cushioned softly ever night In my own little

bed;I see once more the trembling child, who stood with

bated breath.While crept into her aching heart the mystery of

death.I pity still the stricken ' child, who made that lowly

bed.And, blind with tears, strewed snowy flowers above

her playmate's head.That tiny grave Is swept away since then my heart

has knownSome larger graves, whose shadow, dear, will reach

unto my own.

But nestle close; .shed all your tears on mamma'sfaithful breast;

In this cold world, my darling, you will find no saferrest.

Iow you can listen once again. I'll tell you what' we'll do.We'll pick up Mabel's broken head and fix It back

with glue.

Now here's a bunch of coral, brought from ocean'sdepths afar;

We'll clasp it round her snowy curls and hide theustlv scar.

She smiles as If she never knew a cruel wrench ofDa in.

And, best of all, my brlght-eye-d child Is smilingback again.

Be careful, dear, with things you love: sometimes awound Is given

That never can be healed this side the pearly gatesof heaven.

But I will pray that Cod may still your precious lifeueiena

From all the broken Idols mamma's fingers cannotmenu.

No Ilevlval for English Manufacture.New York Bulletin : Our English files are

For ironthere is almost no demand, and the slightimprovement inthe Australian orders for steelis very poor set-o- ff against the loss in othermarkets. Many ofthe collieries are idle, andbut for the export trade, nearly all of the pitsin this district would have to be set down. Inthe cutlery trade, however, it may be saidthat a marked improvement is seen. FromAustralia large orders have been received,and there is also a fair trade doing with thecontinent (except France) and America. TheAmerican houses are sending large consign-ments of SDrinar-knive- s. which, on account oftheir superior quality as Sheffield make, finda ready sale."

" Leonainie."New York Tribune: " Leonainie" ha3

been put to bed by the editor of the Kokomol rtoune. ihe author ot this ridiculous poemis said to be J. W. liiley, ot Anderson, Indiana. After writing and rewriting theverses, and imitating Poe's style as closely ashe could, he determined to bring them outunder the eccentric poet's name, and after allthe world had read and admired them, toclaim them as his own and become famoasThe Kokomo Dispatch published the vrsesand stoutly asserted that Poe had writtenthem, reciting ingeniously the circumstancesunder which they were found in a fly-lea- f ofan old book. An eastern publisher requestedthe editor to send to him the original manuscript, as he was familiar with Poe's handwriting. It is charged that young Rileyhired an expert penman to transcribe thepoem on the fly-le- af of an old copy of Ainsworth 8 Dictionary. A recent number .ofScribner's contained a fac-simil- e of thepoet a handwriting, and this was taken asmodel. The book was then sent east. Ifthese charges are well founded, a shallowhoax has been developed into a contemptiblefraud, ihe ingenious author ot the Itowleymanuscripts was found out at last, and thisdull imitator of Poe could not expect any better luck. Chatterton was a poet, however.and embalmed a dead man's name with hisgenius. Riley is simply an as9.

Bathing at Ocean rove.Nowhere are bathing habits so peculiar as

at Ocean urove. An avenue a Quarter otmile long, and very broad and straight, leadsdown to the shore, and many there be thatwalk in it in bathing costumes. J here arebathing-house- 3 on the beach, but the majority of bathers to to and from the shore intheir bathing suits. The broad avenue presents at certain times of the day very oddsights, the most noteworthy of which are women and girls in sacks and trousers. At LongBranch the bathers of the gentler sex lose notime between the shelter ot the water andthe shelter of the shanties; but here theysaunter leisurely the entire distance ot a quarter of a mile or more, stop to chat withfriends, and are not, apparently, disconcertedbv the gazing ot bystanders. They are allbare footed, and many are bare-legge- d nearlyto their knees, lhere 13 no exaggeration inthis description. The writer saw to-da- y, in aparty of bathers who were going dripping totheir tents or cottages, three girls, of fromseventeen to twenty years, whose garmentsreached barely below their knees. They werecontonrung to the fashion of the place.

The Kweet-Mrentr- d of Month Carolina.Formerly Hlate Hcnator, Makes

a Clean Breait of It.

And Tell what He Knows Abont thefarions Thieves who Kobbed the

tLately Prostrcte Mate.

New York World: Ju.it before it wasknown here that the above indictments wereabout to be made, Senator Owen, of Laurens,South Carolina, paid a visit to New York,and was promptly visited by a reporter ot"the forld, for the purpose of questioninghim in regard to the men who have, untillately, ruled the State.

benator loung John Patterson Owen is anative of South Carolina, and a Republican,lie was connected with the Patterson wing ofthe Republican party in South Carolina sincethe year lS6-"- . and knows all of the ins andouts and crooked ways of the men with whomhe has been associated. In appearance Sen-ator Owen is as yet a young man, on theshady side of thirty-fiv- e, tall in stature, ratherdelicately built, and yet possessing an air ofphysical hrmness seldom found in one ot hisbuild and appearance. He wears a smallside-whisk- and a most prodigious mustache. His eyes are ot a bluish tint, and his-hai-r

of a dark brown. Perhaps this slightsketch may now have its uses. The reporterasked the senator whether or not it was truethat Moses, at present a witness for the State, having turned State's evi- -lence, had his name upon his lilt as one ofthe plunderers of Sou' h Carolina.

.No, sir, responded senator Owen. Inever in my hie received a bribe Irom (Jov--ernor Moses or any one else. Whatever money1 made, 1 inaue it outside ot the legislature.You see, sir," he continued, "I have beenSUite senator from Laurens county ever sinceemancipation. 1 formerly served in the Firstbouth Carolina cavalry. 1 hey say 1 deserted.Well, 1 don t deny it; 1 did desert. When Iwent home to Laurens after the war, I wasailed a scalawag because I joined the Repu!- -

lican party and shared in all of its victories inthe state ot bouth Carolina until the day oiits disbandment, immediately subsequent tothe inauguration ot uovernor Hampton. 1drove my fast horses and may have spent con-

siderable money on my friends, but GovernorMoses never paid me one cent directly or indirectly. You bet! They are working FrankMoses pretty lively just now, continued sen-ator Owen, "but let them work him. it hehad never transgressed he would not beobliged to protect himself. A big thief?Why. ot course, he was. We all knew it,but what could you do? He controlled every-thing, and held full sway. There is no doubtthat he and his accomplice robbed the Stateof millions."

Senator,' interrogated the If orld reporter, "who do you really consider the great-est thieves among those who have been accused of stealing in South Carolina?"

"Well, sir, it you desire me to name themen whom I believe benefited most by Republican legislation, I believe them to beScott, Moses, Cardoza, Chamberlain, Parker,Nash, and that notonous rascal, Inn 11 ur- -

"What do you think ot Chamberlain, senator?"

"Well, like all the other northern men, hedeserted the southern Republicans in theirhour of trial and danger. Whitteniore,Chamberlain, and all of that class of north-ern or army Republicans, left the State assoon as they could. Chamberlain was smartenough to sell his house, however, lou bet.i ou see, he was formerly a captain in theTenth Massachusetts cavalry, and as soon asthe war ended he started raising cotton onone of the sea islands, but, finding it unprofitable, he turned ms attention to politics, became attorney-genera- l, and at terward gov-ernor. Did he have anvthing when he startedin? Why, of course not. Who said so?Whiltemore was chaplain of a Massachusettsregiment. Well, he's gone, too. Gleaves, theformer lieutenant-governo- r of the State?Yes, he's cleared, and he's smart enough tokeep away. Yoruui, the treasurer of Chestercounty? Yes, he's gone to Canada. Woodruff and Jones, the State printers? Theymade money, of course they did. But howare you going to prove it? By implicating.Democrat!? Oh, no! The Democrats aretoo smart for that, and you can rest assuredthat when that time comes the committee ofinvestigation won't press them too hard.You see, Dawson the imni.toulate, of theCharleston Xcic3 and Courier, had a rake atthat pile. You bet."

"What do you think of the personnel andcharacter of the investigating committeelately appointed by the senate?

"Well," replied Senator Owen, "I don'tthink they intend to do much. You see, theymade Senator John R. Cochran, a Republi-can, the chairman of the committee, and thelonger they sit in session the weaker will tie-co-

ther verdict. The i epreciation ofSouth Caroliina bonds just now, so that theycan be purchased for a song, and sold twoyears hence at par or near par. I think thisis the object of the men who obtained theappointment of that committee. The Stutejust now is in competent hands and is doingwell. I believe Governor Hampton to be agood, honest man, but I think that he hasbad advisers. You see, General Mart Gearyis kicking already against Butler, of Edge-field. Hampton is surrounded by too manvfirebrands. That's the trouble, sir, you bet.'

"Senator, why do they call you "Narrow-Guag- e

Owen?""Well, sir, they call me Narrow-Guag- e

Owen because 1 always kicked against anybill that I saw a job in."

"But then, senator, they also state that youwere finally persuaded to vote for these verysame bills."

"Well, supposing I did," replied SenatorOwen; "supposing I did? Who said that Igot any money? Eh? No, sir; I did not.1 have money. Oi course I have. So hasSenator Patterson; so has Governor Chain- -berlain. By tho way, I think Patterson is anelegant fellow. They are after him, too;but he is too smart, he is! He aint goingback to South Carolina, my young friend.lou ought to have been in Laurens court-house last election day, and heard the citi-zens, about one hundred strong, marchingaroucd singing, 'Wc will hang John Owento a sour apple tree.' They did not do it,however. When am I going back ? Well,I can't tell you that. Ycu see it's summertime and I'm summering." This hist ex-pression, especially the last syllable, wa3 ac-companied by a merry twinkle of the righteye, which means in words the senator's fa-vorite expression, "You bet!" Unable toobtain any further information from SenatorOwen, owing to a disinclination on his partto "fcive any of his friends away," so tospeak, the World reporter withdrew, not,however, until he had received the followingadvice from the senator for Laurens: "Lookheah! don't you go and blow me up in thepapers. Remember. I aint said a word aginanybody. You bet."

Fears for the ilsyden Survey Party.Washington correspondent of tho Courier-Journa- l:

Fears are entertained for the safetyot a division of the Ilayden survey, under thecharge of Mr. Bechtel. This party was desig-nated to survey an area embracing the northfork of Snake river as far as Henry lake, andalso Tigie pass, near Henry lake. This is theimmediate route over which Chief Joseph isbound to pass in order to reach the Yellow-stone national park. It was in the same re-gion that excursion parties were mentionedin General Sherman's dispatches of yesterday.The bodies of these murdered people wereseen by an officer from Fort Ellis, vofeo wassent out on a scout. No word has been re-ceived from Mr. Bechtel since he left for FortHall, in Idaho, on his way to the survey ofthis river. Efforts are being made to obtainsome information as to toe safety of thisparty.

Old NImon.the Cellarer.New Yoik Tribune: Simon Cameron has

made another vigorous denial of the senti-ments recently attributed to him by the Cin-cinnati Commercial. He tells another cor-respondent of the same paper that the firstinterviewer was a scoundrel, who misrepre-sented everything he said. He did not sayhe expected the Republicans would lose Ohioand Pennsylvania. What he did say wasthat he differed with the President as to theexpediency of trying to run a Republican ad-ministration with Democratic officials; thatsuch a course would not divide the southernDemocratic party, and its only result wouldbe to make a solid south, with all that theterm implies. As for civil service reform, hesaid it had never been the custom of the Re-publican party to' remove men from office ex-cept for inefficiency or unfaithfulness to duty,and he could not approve of the plan of re-moving Republicans to make places forDemocrats. Furthermore, he does not be-lieve in taking away the appointing powerfrom congressmen. After all this, whichscarcely betokens a "harmonious" state ofmind, the venerable statesman went on toobserve that it was the duty of all Repub-licans to work for tho success of the party inspite of differences of opinion. Wouldn't thework be full as valuable if the grumblingwere shut off?

The Paris Kxposltioii.Cincinnati Gazette: The administration is

evidently indisposed to take any steps look-ing to the representation of the United Statesat the Paris exposition next year, except inresponse to a direct order from congress. Inexplanation of this apparent want of officialinterest in this great international undertak-ing, it may be said that neither the action ofthe French tovernment nor the character ofthe French exhibits at the Centennial lastyear was such as the United States had aright to expect from a nation with which ithad so long been on friendly terms. Whileother nations 6ent special commissioners,many of them men of high rank and greatexperience, France intrusted the interests ofher .citizens tor subordinate attachjea of the

French legation here, one, at least, of whemwas extremely objectionable to PresileitGrant. In addition to this, the character otthe French exhibition was not such as theUnited States hed a right to expect, and thefailure of Franc; in this respect was, it is be-

lieved, largely due to the lack of interest, rotto say opposition, of the French government.It may be remembered that when the invita-tion to the United States to participate in theParis exhibition of 1878 was received. Secre-tary Fish transmitted it to congress withouta recommendation, and it is understood thathe subsequently infonned the senate commit-tee on foreign relations of the reasons whyGrant's administration was unwilling to urgeupon congress any steps looking to the rep-resentation of the United States at Paris.This feeling of indifference manifested bythe last administration is understood to beshared, to some extent at least, by the pres-ent one.

All the peculiar maiks on the body ofCharlie Ross, as published, are found uponthis boy, and a gentleman from Philadelphia,familiar with the appearance of Charlie Rons,an intimate friend of the family, one whosaw Charlie almost daily before his abduc-tion, declares unhesitatingly that the boy hereis the long lost Charlie Ross. Distant rela-tives ot the Ross family, residing here, saythey have no doubt as to this being the lostchild. The boy was in the hands of a womanhere who could give no satisfactory account asto how she came by him.

KIKENE.

Siuibbs was of an Inquiring rulnd.To speculation much InclinedSought knowledge In those solid booksThat tell of earth's remotest nooks.Where skulls and ribs are laid away,Far from the glowing light of day.And serve philosophy to proveWhat little reason we've to loveThe cause which some call ultimate.That binds us to this grov'ling state.This youth, with heroic ardor tiredBy love ot truth alone Inspired,Set out by mortal aid to midThe origin of human kind.The startling light soon on him flashed.From the grave records of the uist.That Evolution Is the key.With which to solve the mystery.

One day while strolling through the streetTurning this doctrine In his brain.

An object there he chanced to meetWhich filled him with the direst pain.

First, fell upon his vision keenThe master of the moving sceue,A ragged boy, with features sharp.Thrumming on an ancient harp.

Another held a slender string;Squlbbs bent on this a ienslve eye,Then, looking to the vaulted sky.He uttered In despair a s!gh.

As forth he saw a monkey spring!Putting decorum at his back.

With nimble foot and trusty fistHe, like a common puiii-st- .

The managers began to thwack,I'ntll the r skins were blue and black!Tne crowd looked on with mocking glee.rt'hile Squtbbs addressed, on bended knee,To solemn Jocko, left behind.The solaee of a kindred mind:Brother of mine, couldst thou believeHow I for your distresses grieve.Your soul with new-bor- n hope should glow!Type of my fathers, learn to knowYour shape as thelr's shall ever grow!"Just then the monkey, with a grin.Fast seized the philosophic chin.This served as sigual for the crowd,Who. with one voice now roared aloud :

' He"s mad he's mad let's bluu him fast."And Into prison Squibbs was cast!Next day the muuclpnl court.With gravity, enjoyed the sport.

ROMANTIC,

Bnt Vers, Very Sad A Beautiful lrlChartred with Adultry by HerFather ie Under an Opera-

tion ivhich Proves iterInnocence.

Baltimore special to the New York Herald:The death of Miss IdaV. Branch, aged twenty-th-

ree, which f jllowed a surgical operationat the Maryland university hospital yester-day, has brought to light a singular romancein real life. She was the daughter of JamesBranch, residing near Smithiield, Isle ofWight county, Virginia, and possessed extra-ordinary beauty, and was besides a younglady of culture and refinement. She was thebelie of the village, and had many admirers.Among others who sought her hand was aMr. Ferguson, the son of a neighboringfarmer, to whom with the consent of herfather Ida became betrothed. In Januarylast certain indications iu tho appearance ofMiss Branch aroused a suspicion on the partof her father that the intimacy between themhad been of an improper character, and Mr.Branch communicated his suspicions to hisdaughter. The latter earnestly denied theimputation, and solemnly protested that herintimacy had not exceeded that of the strict-est propriety. His suspicions were al-layed, but subsequently they wereagain aroused, and Miss Branchwas sent to her sister, Mrs. Fer-guson, at Charlottesville. To this lady Idamade an equally positive denial, but her phy-sical condition was such that her fatherdeemed a medical examination necessary. Hevisited Charlottesville, and the physician,after an examination, conGrmed his suspi-cions. Xotwithstanding this she again pro-tested her innocence, and a second examina-tion by another physician revealed the pres-ence of an ovarian tumor. Dr. Randolph,who made this discovery, recommended herremoval to Baltimore for medical treatment.She arrived here on tho fifteenth instant andwas placed under the care Professor Johnstonand other eminent physicians comprising thefaculty cf the Maryland university. The tu-mor grew so rapidly that an operation wasfound necessary. She was assured that thetumor would result in death in a few davs.while the operation might possibly save herlife. She readily assented, requesting that ifshe died a post mortem might be made in or-der to establish hex purity and innocence.The operation was performed on Friday, andthe tumor, when removed, was Sound to be ofthe extraordinary weight of forty-fo- ur pounds.She rallied slightly, but subsequently sank,and death ensued cn Saturday afternoon. Itwas discovered that decomposition had begunbefore the tumor was removed, ard that shecould not in any case have lived more than aday or two. Her remains were taken to Vir-ginia for burial.

New York Correspondent Cincinnati En-quirer: The New York telephone companyhave in practical operation a new kind of atelephone, which, from its simplicity of con-

struction and tho perfection with which itworks, bids fair to become an article of every-day use. The telephone is operated entirelywithout the use of a galvanic battery. It isin appearance a pear-shape- d piece of ma-hogany, with an orifice at the large end, anda flexible, silk-cover- wire emerging fromthe small end. Being opened, it is 6een toconsist of a powerful steel magnet, runningnearly through the instrument, lengthwise,and wound with a coil of insulated wire,which is connected with the line in front ofthis magnet, but in contact with it is a disc ofsoft, thin iron. Tho voice strikes againstthis disc and ca uses it to vibrate, and as itapproaches and recedes from the magnet acurrent of electricity is generated. This cur-rent passes over the wire, and attracts andrepels the disc in the telephone attached tothe other end of the line; this samesimple instrument being used in sending andreceiving messages, or, rather, in talking andlistening. Attracting the attention of thegentlemen at the Broad street office, the re-porter was directed to apply the instrumentto his ear while a conversation was held be-tween the two points. A roaring sound, likethat perceptible when a shell la applied tothe ear, was all that was noticeable at first;then a voice was distinctly audible, saying;"I hope the gentleman is pleased with theworking of the instrument." The voicesounded exactly as if the words had beenspoken-fro- the floor below through an ordi-nary speaking tube. The roaring noise, asexplained, was the noise of the street, whichthe wire picked up on its way between thetwo points. The telephone was then placedin connection with an oflice at Broadway andThirteenth streets, and a young man answeredthe call, who not only spoke audibly, butsung a rollicking song and whistled Tommy,Make Boom for Your Auntie, which wanvery distinctly heard. The telephone hasbeen tried a distance ot eight miles withequally satisfactory results,

San Fran isco 'i7: The thing is done, andscience did it. Th-- ' Sunday grievance, in allits niultitarin wickedness, is settled at last.Those who in ist upon our observing a com-mandment tiiat Ji-ru- s and Paul left out when-

ence smoothes away existing difficulties, andenables the t'ahbutu lion and the anti-Sabbat- h

l.imb to lie down in peace together, isthus explained : When circumnavigation ofthe c ': bvc.imeagents, Wiogna sausug on a beer-hous- e

It we. are to take the one-runnin-

Monday morning inSan Francisco would be Tuesday morning inOakland, and the people who started f romOakland at twelve o'clock on Wednesdaywould arrive at tho foot of Market street attwenty minutes past twelve o'clock on Tues-day, twenty-thre- e hours aud forty minutes before they started. Xo one can doubt thesoundness of this reasoning without strikinga blow at all faith in mathematics and astron-omy, and we can only wonder th it iU appli-cation to the Suad.iy question was not longsinca proposed. Now if it were thus practi-cable for San Franciscans to gain an entireday by crossing the bay, what right wouldchurch people .'have to find fault with Sun-day excursions to Oakland? We could leavehere on Sunday and have a good time in Oak-land or that vicinity without shocking re-ligious nerves Ly Sabbath-breakin- g. Wecould have Monday "oil" in Oakland findget back here Sunday night without losing aday, and the same time be at peace with thelaw and the fourth commandment.

'IIOU CHOLERA.

Fxperiences of Tennesseethat have been Tried with

More or Less of hnrecss.

Says Mr. Killibrew, iu his July report: Forthe of farmers troubled with choleraamong hogs, 1 give below a few suggestionsand remedies which have been recom mendedand indorsed by many of my Ixst correspond-ents:

Ur. W. M. Clark, of Williamson: I begleave to suggest, as I did to the commercialeditor of the AmericaI, in his report of June5th, I believe hog cholera to be a variety ofdiseases, that from ignorance of owners, isclassed under one head. Hogs are both car-nivorous and gramnivorous animals, and assuch subject to various fatal diseases, as isman. It is only by intelligent examinationthat these diseases can be classified, and theproper remedies applied. 1 dissected myhogs one year and found a certain conditionexisting, and though I had lost some sixtyhogs, the remedy 1 applied at once stoppedit. The next epidemic, however, was entirelydifferent, but i easily stopped it after postmortem examination. It' a man, properlyqualified, were to devote sulheieiit length oftime to the subject, he could so classify theseelements as to lurnisha remedy for each fatalepidemic. It is jast a3 fallacious to expectone medicine to cu:e all the diseases of hogs,as to suppose one remedy to relieve all thediseases of man.

I'r. J. R. Stradlev. of Monroe: C'Iilistances occurring some twelve years sineme to suspect tnat leeumg uegs onwas a fiuitfu! source of choleia. Since thenI have traveled somewhat extensively inEast Tennessee, and have made close obser-vation and inquiry, and have had my sus-picions steadily confirmed. I first observedthat hogs feeding on clover, and especiallywhite clover, "slobbered" severely whentaking cholera.

Hon. J. E. Washington, or Robertson: Ifind that those who keen the ir liegs free fromlice (a small quantity of cc-i.- tar applied ex-ternally with a mop is an excellent remedy),and doctor them from time to time with a mix-ture of copperas, su'phur, ashes and salt, andoccasionally give a little coal-o- il or turpentineon corn, are net troubled with cholera.

James J. Pope, of Bledsoe: In regard tothe cure or prevention of cholera among hogsspirits of turpentine is the best remedy 1 haveever used. I bav stopped it on my hogs asoften as three times by its use. One-ha-lf

tablespoonlVJ. of turpentine in slop water isnot too much for a hog.

Wm. Ovren, of Mai ion: I have longthought, and have no occasion to change m3-min-

d

upon the subject, that lice upon hogsare the primary cause of cholera. I havenever known a hog to die with the choleraunless it was infected with lice. 1 5y applyinga mixture of tar, sulphur ir.d coai-c- il or lardupon the hog occasionally "wheretbe lice de-light to dwell," aud keep them off the hog,we would not bear of so many fanners' fairprospects Iteiiig blasted.

W. H. Hill, ot Tipton : I have for the lastten years given r.:y begs plenty of salt, as 1

do niy other stock; kt them have free accessto water at all tim rs, and at least once amonth I mop them freely with the followingmixture: Old bacon grease, say one pint;coal-oi- l, four tablespoon! ul ; turpentine tar,one teacupful; sulphur (pulverized i, twotablespoousful. Since I Lave been using thisas a preventitive of lice and bkin diseases Ihave tost no l.os.

II. F. Cohm in. of Hancock: The follow-ing remedy has been used with great successby the farmers of this section: Coin-co- b

coals powdi'i ed h:k! mixed Tvitii kitchen slop,or slup made oi whea: bran or cornmeal.Feed two or three times per week.

John Alley, of Sequatchie: Give the hecsplenty of wood ashes, with a little copperasonce a week, also some sulphur; pour coal-o- il

on them to kill the lice, or rather to keep thelice from accumulating, and I will venturewe never have cholera. Hogs should r.ot lepermitted to lie about the barn and in theroadways.

J. M. Lemar, of Union: A good remedyfor cholera is a sour slop, with soft soap, tur-pentine, copperas and sulphur mixed in andgiven every two weeks.

Hon. Samuel Perkins, of Williamson, whois eminent as a swine breeder, savs, underdate of August 8th: While the cholera hasbeen fatal in many neighborhoods where pre-ventives, such as copperas, turpentine, tarand sulphur, have been used and the pasturesfrequently changed, the disease has been g

controlled. My experience has beenthis: Before using turpentine acd tar I lostseveral times nearly my entire stock of hogs;since I have used these preventives withsulphur, copperas and ashes mixed with salt,1 have scarcely lost any, always checking thocholera in a few days. Take the usual feedof corn, shell it and" put it into a vessel, pour-ing turpentine enough to thoroughly coverit ; with a shovel take the com cut and put itin a basket, draining the turpentine into thebasket again. Continue the use of the tur-pentine on corn until it acts freely on thekidneys, then discontinue.

Elijah Dougherty, of Jonesboro, says: Oneof my neighbors has been using hoaihoundas a preventive. He chops up tine and feedsto his hogs in slop. He has used it for sev-eral years, and with success, while his neigh-bors hogs have died all around him. Wehear of late that tobacco stems in the bedswhere the hogs lie is a good preventive ofcholera.
