children, after ninth Irihulaljon, suc
ceeded in bringing up to manhood one
son, who proved, himself able and wil
ling to be a support not only to her,
but to his younger brothers and si

" age ho- was offered a lucrative posi

tf.Ith

did not absorb old affections, and," as
he prospered in his business, ho sent
regularly to his mother the means
necessary for her support and that of
her. family. The years passed on and
brought n.any changes; but still regu
larly as the quarter came, so also did
the ample remittance of this model
son and brother. When the tide of
cmifirration turned to the Far West.
thia,son was carried with it to Oma

town lots, whiih spedily rose in value
and made him a man of wealth. At
least tins was the intelligence seuj,

Auburn, his parent was invited to
make the tour; of the State Prison,
and whilst passing, through the vari
ons wards she accidentally encounter"
ed one whose, presence caused her
checks to pale and her heart to tem

son, her good and well beloved boy
who for years had been her pride and
support; tor a moment she was speech

rent of tcarjj, in which the prisoner
joined, she said: "p, 1113' son, my son'
how came 3-011 here?" His story being
told devclupe'd the1 fact that he had,
by trading with straugers, come into

The Long Lost Found.
lue unmn, un., jscks gives an in
teresting description Of the finding of
a lady in that plate by her uephew
after sixteen years alsance. The lady
a native of South Carolina, was mar
ried sixteen years ago, and emigrated
to Georgia. Sometime aince her hus
band died aud she then assumed her
maiden name, and , with her little chil
dren endeavored to eke out un exist
ence. Uer situation becoming worse,
however, shp wrote to ber nephew iu
Carolina, giving a history of her dis
tress aud poverty, and praying him to
come to her relief, pledging herself to
do whatever work she could to repay
any expense incurred by him. The
nephew arrived in Griffin last Thurs
day, but unfortunately discovered that
be had forgotten the lady's name.
'But with the aid of several gentlemen
be succeeded in finding his long ab
sent relative, in an humble pabio, andj
carried her and her children back to
Carolina.
A private letter to gentleman in this
.city, dated last Friday, at Memphis,
Term., says: "Death on the pale horse
is riding madly over our city. Many
ot our best citizens have been swept
away by this fearful scourge, yellow
fever. Hundreds who fled to the coun
try have since died. The ministers of
the different churches havo worked
earnestly to help the suffering. Some
have been called to their long home
while in the dischargo of their duties
visiting the sick and burying the dead.
Money and nurses we need most."
! Jlaleigh News.
It is a remarkable fact the medical
faculty of Memphis are by no means
a unit as to the nature of the disease
now prevailing iu the wty. That it
la yellow fever is asserted by some,
but it is nothing more than a virulent
type of the common malarial fever of
the Mississippi bottom is the opinion
of more than oce the best physicians
we have. The fact that it is conta
gious, or communicated by .contact
with tho infected'r persons, v proves
nothing,.T9ince,scf --',demtSra
is mbro or less of a contagious nature.
It not yellow lever, theD, and if
malignant type of malarial fever, why
should it be present here iu Memphis
at this time? The leading physicians
ot jew Orleans announced within the
last two or three days that there was
not a single case of yellow fever in
tiie uresent Uity, toe nilheito sup
posed hot-bed ot that lear-inspinng
malady, and that tho city was as
healthy as it has ever been at this
season of the year. We hear of no
yellow fever in Galveston, of none in
Charleston, Cjoutn Carolina, 01 none
even in Havana, one of f the original
introducers of the pestilcnc into the
American continent, jls it not 1
little strango that, in view of the fear
ful ravagos or the .so called "yellow
fever in Shreveport, Louisiana, and
of the highly inflamed condition of
the public mind outside of Memphis,
touchiujf the fatality of; that aisease
in this city, !New Orleans,! and the
cities of the Mexican Gulf the nat
ural continental sates of ingress of
this tropical pestilence should be
free from the presence of the destroy
er ? It is accepted, too, we believe,
. a r m
among the medical proiession, as a
theoremic truth, 6r postulate, that the
negro is not liable to be attacked by
yellow'fever his tropical blood be
ing, it is assumed, fortified against a
disease indigenous to the tropics. 1
But the prevailing fever has not
respected this right of the colored
man, which tho fifteenth .amendment
tb tho Constitution ot the United
States fails to cover or protect, and
our daily mortuary report shows that
black men die of the disease as well as
white. Physicians of ibis city tell of
cases in their practice in the Mississip
pi bottom, characterized by alT the
smptoras and effects of the present
disease, including the 'coffee grounds
ejections from the stomach, and saf
Iron color of tho victim after dissolu
tion, and yet there is no 'yellow fever'
in the" country at the time, and no man
dreamed of calling the disease by any I
other name than malarial fever. Bat,
leaving the elucidation of this interest
ing question to our learned friends of
the school Esculapian, we can't avoid
tho fact that a disease of a malignant
type is among us vigorously plying
its mission of death; nor are we less
persuaded that this fatal fever has
its hidden, but plain, cause hero in
Memphis. A subject of as much im
portance as this dreadful pestilential
visitation naturally awakened in
quiry, and inquiry has discovered a
condition of things so appalling as to
excite the wonder that the death deal
ing breath of pestilence has not before
this dociminated our population. We
have no system of sowcrago in Mem
phis, and the necessary consequence
is that the filth of the city is left to
take care of itself. Our sanitary po
lice consist, for tho most part, of some
half dozen of tho chain gang, who oc
casionally do little more than eman
cipate the confined odors of the ken
nels of Main street, and give wings
to imprisoned effluvia.- Our alleys
and obscure streets aro left to the rag
packers, to porcine and scavengers, to
cleanse them of their superfluos foul
ness, and were it not for the rains ot
pitying heaven, would of themselves
give abundant employment to our un
dertakers and grave diggers. Anfl
yet these aro the least of tho fob
jectionable features touching the vio
lation of tho laws of hygiene in Mem
phis. We almost shudder whon we
consider tho condition of every fam
ily in Memphis in the matter of a sup
ply of pure water. Nearly every fam
ily in tho city is dependent upon a
cistern for its supply of water; nearly
every cistern in the same yard, in close
proximity to, and generally in a di
rect geographical line with the privy !
No. intelligent man need be toldot toe
percolative and absorbent qualities of
the earth, and no Mpmphian need be
reminded of the difficulty of finding
cistern water in the city free from
the impurities of animalcuhe induced
by decomposition. The train of evils
following these disagreeable truths
suggest themselves to the intelligent
reader without further elaboration.
Tbo great question with us now is to
apply the remedy, and no time is
better than the present to awaken the
community to a proper sense of the
situation.

thought that ability to predict' estab
lishes the- validity of any scheme. To

2. I predict that questions of ad
ministration, such as civil service re
form, minority representation, the
control of .telegraphs and railways,
and the extension of tho powers, of
the central government, will be the
main issues in future political 1 com
paigns.
3. I predict that within the com

fall to one half its value. !
4. The panic will be precipitated,

Northern Pacific liailroad, aud per

amount of fraud in connection with
our railroads as to discredit all stocks

the panic will commence, from all ap

for a moment entertained.
6. I predict that when all the great

Cairo, and lived Upon the money thus
obtained in a most luxurious manner,
nntillhe reached, on his return trip,
Cairo. The German Ambassader in
that city caused Kraut to be arrested
on a charge of a common svvindler.
The nobleman waa put in ; irons, and
conveyed in that state to Stettin, his
birthplace, in Pomerania.
Max. Von Kraut, in 1861, wheu scarce
ly 21 years of age, came to this conn
try from Prussia, where be had been
dismissed from the militarj school at
Potsdam, and declared unfit to ever
hold a commission in the army in that
country. He figured for a time as an
officer of Prussia, on leave of absence,
in New York and sncceeded in de
frauding a number of Grerman import
ers out of various sums of money. The'
Prussian consul, however, compelled-,
him) to leave New 'Xork. Krant
now went to Harrisbnrg, Penn., where
his insinuating manners soon secured
him a clerkship nnder the State Gov
ernment. At Harnsbarg Krant be
came acquainted with Simon Cameron,
who, upon the breaking out of the war,
gave Kraut, whom he believed to be
an educated Prussian officer, a com
mission as colonel of the 1st West
Tennessee .Regiment, an imaginary or
ganization. Kraut went to Cincinna
ti, where he spent his salary in a verv
disreputable manner, until one day he
was charged by a woman in a ques
tionable' house with having stolen her
jewelry. . A
In consequence of this damaging
charge he was compelled to leave the
Union army. He therefore went
South, but was refused a command in
the Rebel army; and trying to escape
from the Confederacy on the blockade
runner Themis, was .caught and sent
to Fort Delaware. There he remained
until 1865, when President Johnson
ordered his release. He nextfwent to
Mexico, where be became a staff officer
of the ill-fated Maximilian. But when
the latter was caught he turned infor-
mer, ana received a commission ln tue
Republican army. It is said that;: in
that capacity, he was present at the
execution of the Emperor at Quere
taroi " . I .' . -
He returned spedily to Europe, how'-j
ever, and was publicly chastised in
Berlin, in 1868, by Prince Slam-S!am.
Since that time Kraut disappeared
from public view until he has now
come again to the surface, but this
time in the toils of Prussian justice,
with the prospect of a long term in the
State irrison.

in print relative to the Nathan case
have been known by the officers en

were only awaiting connecting links
which would make the chain of evi

that Irving has the power to place
them on the right track.
It is believed that tho following
named persons were engaged in the
attempt to rob Nathan's house July
29, 1870: Geo. Ellis, Dan Kelly, who
is now in Sing Sing serving a term for
burglary; Carr, also in Sing Sing;
Billy Forrester, new in Joliet prison.
The job , was '-put qp" by a German
Avoman, whoso ; name could not bo

ing ats Billy Johnson's. She subse
quently went to board with Irving,
and wjiile there no doubt the latter
managed to secure the papers, etc., by
which he proposes to show all about
the Nathan case. Dan Kelly was
heard to say that he killed Nathan,
and to tell how he used tho dog in do
ing so. '
It is said Irving will prove that
Kelly, now in Sing Sing, killed Na
tcan with the iron dog, which he ob
tained ofiacalkor in the Brooklyn
navy yard; that $10,000 in bonds,
which were in Nathan's safo, were
seen in Kelly's hands a few days after
the murder; that those bonds were
negotiated, and that Nathan's watch;
and chain were pawned , in Centre St.,
the day after the murder.

We publish in another column the re
ply of Mr. D. Wyatt Aiken, to the
criticisms. elicited by hip Cokesbury
letter.
When that letter appeared, we pub
lished a respectful but earnest and
energetic protest against the doctrines
which it advocated. We felt: that, if
accepted and acted upon, the only re
sult would be to embitter the planter
against the factor, and alieuate the
factor from the planter, at a critical
period when good feeling and united
action were essential to the success of
both. It behoved us, in the .interest
of . the community, to speak plainly
and boldly. But, while most strongly
reprobating' the advice given, we ac
corded to the adviser that; justice
which he had failed to render to him
self, and stated our belief that Mr.
Aiken did not himself perceive the
logical consequence of his own teach -
We are glad to perceive from Mr,
Aiken's present letter that we were
correct in this, and that he really did
not intend to advocate any breach of
faith or violation of law, and that he
only "advises cottonplanters to affect
compromise with parties to whom
thej are jubtly indebted and; if pos
sible, effect an indulgence for siity
days." Had this advice been ex
pressed in his former letter there nev
er would have been any indignation
excited, or any criticisms passed upon
his letter- certainly not by us. It
would have merely been saying frankly
to the factors: ' 'We have had your
money and, like honest men, we are
ready to pay our debt, but you know
our condition and see what a forced
sale may cost us, and we ask you, if
yon can, to grant us an indulgence
which will enable ns to pay you-with
out ruining ourselves." The nego
tiation for an indulgence must, at last
be made through the factors, who can
be , relied on to , do their best for the
planters,?-because the proceeds of the
cotton in the majority of cases is all
that they have to depend on for the
repayment of their advances.

Make a .Note of This. !
Whenever a gentleman wants any-
thing published, whether it interests
tho public or only an individual, ho is
willing and will 1 propose to pay.
Somebody must pay for ft, hereafter

tert the proposed publication would
interest the public has nothing to do
with tho matter at issue. Newspapers
arp private, not public property. They
aro published to make money for their
owners, and if anybody would use
them they must pay the cost. Never
did we go to a merchant and use his
goods for any public purpose without
paying, and if we and hundreds of
others tho public employ a lawyer
ubuut a street or other highway, we
pay the lawyer. The dodge is very
tiresome, it is very old, and wo hope
to hear of it no more forever. If -you

A Horrible Outrage near Boyds-
Yille, Tenn.
' , Memphis, Oct. 13.
Near Boydsvillo, in West Tennessee,
last week, eighteen armed men went
to the house of a citizen and took: a
negro girl out into the weods, and
each in turn outraged her person.
They did not attempt to disguise
themselves, and carried their victim
but a short distance from the. house.
The people with whom the girl was
living were unable to prevent the out
rage and were compelled to listen to
the agonizing shrieks of the helpless
creature. Her body was found soon
after tho beasts had left, most hor
ribly maugled, and life ' extinct. . It is
stated in conuoction with tho horrible
affair that the facts were never repor
ted to the authorities, and the body
was buried without any legal exami
nation, and the crime waa sought to
bo hushed up because of the alleged
respectability of some of' the parties
who perpetrated the fiendish outrage.

With all his wonderfrl gifts ho was
as gentle and guileless as a child. i
Ho overworked his fccblo' body in
serving a church in Bajtimorc hud
succumed to a paralytic sCroko that
deadened one side and deranged his
mind. We saw him in that city over
a year ago at his homojstill tugging
with a laboring oar.We gave oar
opinions to friends at the tjme that he
was suffering from tho excising labors
of a city pastorate: It seemed to the
noble fellow as deserting his post, and
ho refused to leave. Another severe
attack of palsy, wrecked mind and
body. He left the city for tho scenes
ofhis early life in. tho back counties
of iVirginia, bordering oirtue Te lines-
see. His own people in ere were poor
and obscure. Ho was moneyless. It
is a shame to tho church, to society,
to; humanity, that, this man of mar
vellous powers and noble .. life should
end his days friendless . and insane,
and the sport of the vicious." . . . j
