TERRIBLE MTJRDEB OF THE BOBUM
FAMILY AT SHANNON, MIBB.—
FITE PERSONS SLAUGHTERED
IN COLD BLOOD.
HIDES.
lal to th« N. O. Timet.]
Memphis, Jammy 3.—'Tht particulars
the burning of the Borum family, near
annou, ou the Mobile and Ohio Uail-
kd, on buuday Ust, prove beyond a
nbt that the horrible oriine was the work
uegroes, as s ated in a previous dis-
tcb. Fsots developed since the news
Bt reeeived prove that Bortnn, his wife,
o little children, and a negro boy were
at murdered in the house, and the build-
j then fired in half a doaen planes. On
burday, ltarurn, who had just reeeived
ren hundred dollars, was in the store
Mr. Whitesides, at 8hannon, and beiuj
ced by biui for a loan of three hundrei
lUrs, told Whitesides he would bring
the money on Monday and started
je; hi* house being a mile and a half
it of Shannon, bis nearest neighbor
ig half a mile from him.
ie next heard of him or his family
that they had been murdered and
ir bodte-t burned by negro robbers,
m the first person arrived at the
ie they found Borum’s remains a few
from a doorway, a part of his heart
liver in one iua-<B, some brains in the
part of the sknll, together with one
tao molten bullets, and by these a
ol, which hid been discharged, and
urn's knife open in a corner of the
u where a bed stood. The remains of
. Borum were fennd with those of her
gnat child, aged between two aud
io yearn, clasped in her arms; and a
feet distant were the bones of the
at child, aged five years. Near the
pluce were found the lamains of a
0 boy. The presumption is that the
etrators of the foul deed made some
i Sunday night to induce Borum
tpen his door, when they rushed in
1 and shot hiui: that be fired at them
out effect and then defended himself
his knife, but was shot and killed,
that after outraging Mrs. Borum,
nd the children, with the negro boy,
butchered in cold blood.
[ter plundering the house it was fired
Ifereut places,and the murderers then
lookiug the door aud carrying the
rith them. Up to the present time
. hole affair is wrapped in mistery, as
[ue has been discovered that will lead
discovery of the perpetrators of the
, except that three uegro men were
iVhitesidei’ store, and heard the re-
jt for money and the reply; bat,
iDge to say, no effort has yet been
*e to arrest these negroes. Consider-
excitement exists at Shannon and in
vicinity, and should the murderers be
ind the people will take the law into
iir own hands. H.

f We have alluded to tho curious fact
at the Preiiident should select the sec-
jld, instead of the first officer of the
uy to send io New Orleans. The fact
| made more singular still by the defini-
pn of the task which Sheridan is sent
) perforin. “Ho does not go,” the Chi-
go Dispatch says, “in obedience to any
ect orders, bat iu compliance with
personal r* quest of the President,
j desires to have some one at that
[tat in whom he has implicit confidence,
1 of such rank that, in cose of emer-
Dcy he cau act without special orders
Dm Washington.” The officer here in*
ated ought to be the General of the
aiy; he is the person in whom the
esident ought to have implioit confi-
nce, aud he too occupies the rank that
ight to authorize him to aot in case of
(emergency, without speoialorders from
|ashington.* But in fact Sherman is not
e_tnan: it is his first lieutenant who is
nt on tbe delicate and difficult mission
bout hit) chief being apprised of it.
|t has been the custom heretofore to
patch tho head officer of the army on
Ise discretionary and pacifioatory tasks,
gas Scott who was sent to the Canada
ntier when the Caroline affairs threat-
I to end in war ; it was Scott who was
jit to Chaileston daring the nullification
fileiiiont of 1833 ; and it was Seott who
l bent to San Juan in 1859 duriog the
Kndary dispute. Why is it not Sherman
Jo is sent to New Orleaus at this critical
Jie—w >y the Load of the army should
|c irofuliy overlooked in the selection of
) right man for the business is a very
rions matter.
A Jewish I.egvnd.
According to Jewish and Mohammedan
dition, King Solomon, who was wise
byond all other men, know the language
T animals, and could talk with the beats
f tho field and the birds of the air. A
jbbbinical story is told of him, which is
I this wise:
•*One day the King rode out of Jerusa
i with a great retinue. An ant-hill Uy
ireotly iu his path, and Solomon heard
I little people talking.
f“Here comes the great king,” he heard
pe of them say. “His flatterers oall him
and just and merciful, but he is
out to ride over us, and crush us
Ithout heeding our sufferings.”
f And Solomon told the Queeu of Sheba,
no rode with him, what the ant said,
pd the Queen made auswer;
“He is an insolent creature, O, King
I is a better fate than he deserves, to be
pdden under our feet.”
But Solomon said:
[“It is the part of wisdom to learn of
i lowest and weakest.” And he com*
nded his train to turn aside and spare
»ant-hill.
Then all the courtiers marvelled great-
, and the Queen of Sheba bowed her
lad and made obeisance to Solomon.
f“Now know I the secret of thy wisdom,
bou listenest as patiently to the re
poaches of the bumble as to tbe flatteries
[ the great.”

W the train, and started southward iu

The ghastly record of deaths that
result from pulmonary affeotion9 Is frightful.
There Is no disease that Is so lntlduous In Its
attack as consumption. By the neglect of
"slight colds” they soon become deop seated
and de'y remedies which, If applied At the out
set, would have averted all danger. Dr.
Tutt’s Expectorant has proven ttseir tbe
most valuable Lang Balsam ever
discovered. A distinguished clergy
man of New York pronounces It the "great
est blessing of the nineteenth century,” and
says "no family should be without It.” It Is
pleasant to the taste, and a single dose will
often remove tho most obstluate cough. Office

Schbnck’a Pulmonic Syrup, Ska Weed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills.—These de
servedly oelebraUd and popular medicines
have effected a (evolution In tho healing art.
and proved the fallacy ol several maxims whloh
have for many years obstructed the progress of
medteal soienoe 4The false supposition that
"Consumption Is Incurable” deterred physi
cians from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afllicte I with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an effort
to escape from a doom which they supposed to
be unavoidable. It H now proved, however,
that Contumptiun cjn be cured, and that it hat
been cured in a very great number of oases
(some of them aptmrontly d-speratB ones'by
Sehenok’e Pulmonic S>rup alono; and In other
rases by the same medicine in eonneetiou with
Schenck’n Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills, one or both, acoordlng to tho require
ments of the caso.
Dr. Schcnck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for mere than forty year.',
was supposed at ono tlmo to be at the very
gates ot death, his physlch^s having pronoun
ced his case hopelos 1, and nandonedhlm to his
lato. He was cured by the aforestld medicines,
and sinoe his recovery, many thousands simi
larly affected have u«ed Dr. Sohenok’s prepa
rations with the same remarkable succoss.
Full directions accompany each, making it |
not absolutely necessary to person ally see Dr. i
Schenok unless patients wi*h their lungs ex- I
