A Serious Imputation.— r-The
Memphis avalanche calls upon the
Governor,Comptroller, and Treasurer
of Tennessee, to answer to the charge
made some time since, and not yet
contradicted, that the authorities of
that State “when attempting to bor
row money in New' York to pay the
July interest, endeavored to pledge
as collateral, railroad bonds which
had been redeemed and returned to
the Comptroller’s office for cancella
tion.” We should say that-the offi
cials called upon should immediately
“ns© and explain.” The charge is a
very serious one.
George McGinley, whom Jwe learn

room in the Kimball House, in At

30th ult. It seems that Mr. Brown
engaged the room until 11 o’clock,
p. m. and refused to vacate it until 1
a. m., but Mr. Me Ginley bad espe
cially denied him the use of the room
longer than 11, on the ground that it
would annoy his guests. Mr B.
“rushes into print,” to tell of his
grievances, which telling, Me says is
untrue. We approve of Mr. G’s
course in closing his ball room at
such a time as will enable his guests
to get a good night’s rest, and doubt
not all those guests will think more
of him for it.
Failure of Beecher’s Publish
ers.—One of the most conspicuous of
the scandal celebrities informed a
New YorkiS'wn reporter on Thursday,
that the disaster which has befallen
Ford & Cos., comes largely from the
amount of capital that was put into
the “Life of Christ.” He said posi
tively that he knew that when that
work was first projected the gentle
man who joined with Mr. Beecher
held frequent and long consultations
with the Plymouth pastor as to
whether the life of the Saviour
should be written from an orthodox
or liberal standpoint. The English
subscribers to the book refused to
take the first volume until the sec
ond was finished, and the firm was
tying up money in the book on this
account. The second volume was
two-thirds through the press, and
Mr. Beecher was expected to resume
work on it in the fall. Can it be that
the prophecy ofSam Wilkerson, who
said the scandal trial would “knock
the Life of Christ higher than a kite,”
is being fulfilled?
Roman London. —Mr. John W.
Forney writes an interresting letter
to the Philadelphia Press from Lon

ly while workman were making
deep excavations for the foundations,
of the National Safe Deposit build
ing. The relics are supposed to be
nineteen hundred years old, the date
being fixed by the seventy specimens
of coin found in the ruins of “Roman
London.” The articles found besides
the coins consists of red glazed pottery
decorated with figures of birds, ani
mals and foliage; Roman-Britisli
specimens of urns, like those now in
use; a large number of the instru
ment called the stylus, with which
the Romans did their writing; a va

Old General Preston won a bet
once from a celebrated Barkeeper,
who was noted for being a great his
torical scholar, and who would ar
gue for hours an issues, events and
J
Jim, but this is warm. I haven’t been
so warm since old General Cass was
President of the United States.”
“What!” said Jim, “General Cass
never was President of the United
States.” “Why, yes, he was,” re
plied Preston, with well feigued as
tonishment. “I’ll bet you drinks
for the house he wasn’t,” said the
excited proprietor. “Done,” ans
wered the old man, and he drew
fourth his pocket-book, unfolded a
page of the Congressional Globe of
1848-9, and proceeded to read that
President Taylor having died on
Saturday, and Vice President Fil
more not being in Washington, the
President of the Senate, General
Cass, became President of the United
States until the following Monday,
pending Fillmore’s inauguration.
When the old man had finished read
ing he looked around and said!
“Come up, boys. A little Stoughton
in mine, Jim. Must excuse ignor
ance, you know.” Then he rambled
out, while Jim rammed the bottles
back on the shelf, soused the tum
blers in the rinser. “I have seen a
good many men in my time, but for
a first class star beat old Prestop can
take the money.”
A Mr. Beck ol Floyd county, in
this State, being very much elated
at the result of a suit against him
in the county Court of that county,
gave vent to his feelings by rnning a
race w ith a Mr. Gossip. B’s horse ran
over a hog in the road, which threw
the horse down, and Beck, in falling
struck violently against the ground.
It was thought for a time, that he
w r as killed, but he escaped with the
dislocation of his shoulder blade,
which was also broken in two places.
The horse of Mr. Gossip ran over the
prostrate horse of Mr. Beck, and
threw the rider some fifteen feet,
fortunately and maraeulously with
out any serious injury to the rider.
A queer way of rejoicing.
Colonel Forney, in a late letter
from London, gives some interest

They have spent some $2,000,000, and
have nearly $3,000,000 still remaining,
and have erected blocks of model
tenement houses in Blackfriars,
Southwark, Bermondsey, Shadwell,
Spitalfields, and Chelsea, which will
accomodate about 1,400 poor families.
The average rent of each dwpiling is
about ninety-eight cents a w eek.
A now invention by Sir David
Solomons for preventing railway ac

station masters can telegraph to a
train while in motion, or one train

difficulty of harvesting under any
circumstances will be very great—
and still the rains fall day after day,
and each week the rainfall increases.
This is without recent example in
this climate, and the destruction of
crops threatens to reach the propor
tion? of a great public disaster.”

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
&UK4V4U4M Vv *>•- Cl ~
[From the Grenada (Miss.) Sentinel.]
Dr. W. E. Rogers who, as a sur
geon, stands at the head of the pro
fession in the South, performed an
operation in Memphis last week
Uiat has developed one of the most
remarkable results known in the
medical fraternity. lie was called
in, at a house on DeSoto street, to ex
tract a stone from the bladder of a
young man 18 years old, named
Jeptlia Walker. The doctor having
successfully taken out, the stone,
which is about the size of a large
guinea-egg, composed of carbonate
of lime, left the patient in good
spirits, doing well. Some days after
the nurse while dressing the wound
of the young man, saw' something
protruding from it, which she gave
to Dr. Rogers on his next visit.
On examination this proved to be
the bone of an infant. Since then
the physical! has extracted several
bones, among which are part of both
bones of the thigh, one of the leg,
of each arm, and one hip bone and
last Tuesday another was taken out
belonging to another part of the
body. The nurse stated that she ex
tracted many more hones, hut not
knowing their value, she threw them
away. The patient is doing very
well, and is expected to he soon res
tored to good health. This is the
first case of the kind, we believe,
that has occurred in this part of the
country. But medical works recount
where several such phenomena have
taken place ; and the same authori
ties explain upon a very plausible;
theory how such things can happen.
Some incredulous doctors,
whose vocation should have been
that of third-class scullions, have
doubted the word of Dr. Rogers in
this matter. But the doctor has
shown us the bones and the stone,
and told us that his oneration was
attended with the above results. As
far as Dr. Rogers, character isjeon
cerned,suffice it to say that he is well
known throughout the Southern
States as a surgeon whose ability is
unsurpassed by any one in this part
of the country, and is regareded as a
gentleman who would, under no
consideration, degrade his profes
sion by imposture.
A North Carolina Tar-Heel dis
covered the reason of Sam Bard’s re
moval, A Republican acquaintance
of the editor ofthe Charlotte Observ
er met the ex-governor of Idaho and
late p. m., and after breaking a bot
tle or two, the subject turned on his
(Bard’s) removal from the Postmas
tership of Atlanta. The blind Bard
vowed that he could conceive no
earthly reason for his removal; that
he could imagine no motive which
could have induced the Postmaster
General to treat him so. ‘ ‘Why,”
said he, “I was never wanting in
attention to him. I always wrote
to him once and sometimes twice a
week.” “But,” said his Republican
friend, “perhaps he took offense at
something in one of your letters.”
“Oh ! no,” said Bard, “that was im
possible. I wrote him the right
kind of letters. I announced myself
squarely in favor of a third term.”
“Well,” said his friend, ‘l’m not sur
prised at your removal; for Post
master General Jewell is himself a
prominent candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for President.”
“The d—l you say,” replied the Bard,
“I never thought of that !”—Avgnsta ,

HARD BEDS I’OR WHEAT PLANTS.
In visiting an excellent farmer last j
summer he took me to the wheat- :
field, and pointed out a strip, three |
or four rods wide, where the grain !
was decidedly stronger and thicker
on tne ground than the rest ol the
field.
“There,” said he, “what do you
suppose makes that difference V ’
Hazarding a guess, 1 said there
was probably an underdrain there.
“No,” said he, “that is the road
wav, across which I drew manure to
the' next field last fall. As the
ground was plowed, I did not make
one narrow rode the width of a wag
on, bnt the teams went back and
fourth over a strip three or four rods
wide. At sowing time it was almost
impossible to get any mellow’ earth
over this roadway, and the wheat
‘drilled in,’ was little more than half
covered. It did not look so well last
fall, but now (this was last June), as
you see, it is decidedly superier.”
The neighbor referred to, attribu
ted the superiority to the ground be
ing so hard that moisture did not
penetrate it? and hence it was less
liable to heave and the wheat to
winter-kill. It is a fact that this
hard-packed soil produced fully
twice as large a wheat crop as that
adjoining, with no other difference
in preparation or manuring to ac
count for it.
The Tribulations or Plym
outh Church.— Failing to raise
by subscription the money necessary
to make good the increase of Brother
Beecher’s salary to SIOO,OOO, so
promptly and exultantly voted by
the Plymouth Society at the close of
the late trial, it is now proposed .to
mortgage Plymouth Church for the
additional SBO,OOO. The St. Louis
Republican thinks this is the proper
way to raise the wind. It says:
“Plymouth Church has got almost
everything else on it except a mort
gage, and the sooner that adornment
is supplied the better. Still when
the cause of outraged innocence re
quires a mortgage for its assistance,
the inevitable inference is either that
the cause is painfully weak or the
champions of it painfully poor.
Whichever inference is accepted, it
rather tends to take the feathers off
of “the great moral victory.”
We would not now be surprised to
learn that further proceedings to
raise the money for the increased sal
ary had been postponed until after
the new trial which is to take place,
with new and important testimony
in favor of the plaintiff, in Septem
ber.—Savannah JVews.
The Supreme Court of Texas has

I believe the best mulch of straw

mouldy, retain \varmth and keep out

MOODY AND SAKXEY.
Moody and Sankey, who have got

their last meeting, there was one
hundred and eighty-eight ministers
