DEATH OF A PRIEST.
Apoplexy iu the Water.

Kelly, of St. Michael’s Catholic Church,
Philadelphia, died in the surf here just
before noon to-day. He had been stop
ping at the Wyoming House, and •while
bathing with a company of ladies was
seized with an apopletic lit, and died al
most instantly. He was an expert swim
mer, and his feats in the waves attracted
a large party. Suddenly he threw his
hands up and his head fell back on the
breakers. Immediate assistance was
rendered, but he was dead before he
could be taken on shore. The body was
sent to Philadelphia on the afternoon
train. Rumors that he was drowned are
without foundation. His head at no
time was under the water, and he was not
over his depth wheu he died. His neck
was greatly discolored with purple and
green bands. He was about 30 years
old, and w r as well known in the northern
part of Philadelphia.

FRANCE'S FUTURE.
Reported Interview With (lie Empress
Eugenie -What She Believes Is Com
ing- France to Regain Her Lost As
cendency.
New York, July 7.—A letter from
Geneva to the World gives a conversa
tion with the late Empress of France.
She says her visit to France is for po
litical purpose, and it is useless to try
to conceal it. She believes there will
soon be a general return of the people
to order, and said the Piedmontese Gov
ernment at Rome, the anti-Christian and
Pagan Court at Berlin, and the wild
Communats at Madrid are filled with
fear at the awakening of Catholic France.
Now that the wretched Thiers is gone
all moves. That MacMahon is prudent
and loves France. “The future,” said
Eugenie, “Is ours, and France will
lead the reaction against forces which
have seemed to threaten the existence
of society and religion throughout Eu
rope.” She saw in the'future that France
may again be at the head of the nations,
the robbers driven out of Rome, the
Pope restored, Germany divided into
harmless States, and Austria again
strong.

A town iu Washington Territory offers,
in the way of an inducement, a donation
of land) and a subscription of money'al
ready amounting to $1,000,000 and still
increasing. The town of Tacoma offers
control of the entire water front of the
city and a large amount of land. In
case Seattle does not get the terminus,
a party of unquestionable responsibility
agree to build, equip and put in run
ning order a branch road from Seattle to
connect with the Northern Pacific Road
near Taconia by the first of January
next for a less amount than pledged to
the company by Seattle.

THE DEATH MARCH OF THE
SCOURGE.
A Deserted Village—Greeneville Deso
lated—The Cause—Panic in Cnatta-*
nooga—Reports from Other Points.
In reply to the first question I asked
after I left the cars at the Greeneville
depot, a citizen told me “the town had
twelve hundred inhabitants two weeks
ago, and just before the outbreak of this
sickness; but now there are hardly three
hundred, all told—death and fear have
produced the notable difference, and are
still actively lessening the numbers of
the few who remain.” All trade had
stopped, except, a very limited traffic in
food, bec&ttge*b£4he meagre quantity for
sale anddiiwpecuniary inability of much
the largest proportion of purchasers to
buy all they needed, and no opportunity
money with which to pay for
f except very constant labor by
tlwv.apothecaries dispensing medicines.
Tim men and women fthq heretofore
easly obtained work and the pay for it
each day, and had no care for the mor
row, cannot now find opportunity to earn
money, and either go hungry or are sup
plied by a more fortunate neighbor. A
very few of the citizens remaining have
moderate pecuniary or property ability,
and have had and now have the onus of
feeding and paying for issued
to a considerable proportion of the in
habitants who have remained with them
in the infected town.
Why all this sadness? Why the deso
lateuess presented by a deserted town ?
Why the abandonment of houses and
property, and of business, and of the
pleasures of home ? Why have the law
yers put aside their dockets, the officers
of the corporation put off their insignia
of office, and gone where they can have
no authority, . laid down
their working have all the
avocations of sHliflßded-ip Greeneville
except tire rapid, anxiofetpassing from
house to house of thedodfors, the steady,
persevering, but wearied nmniflblations
of the apothecaries and the undertakers
in the mournfully silent performance of
their office—burying the dead ? The
answer is plain; and though the results
are sadly .disastrous, the cause is sim
ple. The eftmens of Greeneville are
reaping the reward of reliance upon self,
when, in Qtt, they counsel.
, They have “.played with edge tools
and have been woiuuUd.” They han
dled poietai’ as-though it__was a sweet
morsel, and death ha^-cone.
More - than a quortqtfpf Vcentnry ago
an immense pit in the very
centro of the toww**Rv a clbaca erected
over it with capacity sufficient for the
accommodation of the entire commu
nity during all these years. A very
short time before the eruption of the
disease by which the town has been de
populated, an energetic (!) citizen in
geniously emptied this pit, and had the
contents wagoned through the town,
and spread upon the face of a hill on
the northwest verge of the corporation,
the contents from the pit spreading
over a very considerable surface of wet
ground, exposed for several days to a
fiery snn. Then there occurred the
heaviest rain that any citizen of Greene
ville had ever .witnessed. It was the
eastern afiih uA slope of the hill on
which tlio ctepd it viw mnde ; and f»i
course the wash of the hill was into and
through the town. The heavy wash of
this rain carried all the surface soil
from the hill, and as the water covered
an area equal to three-fourths of the
corporate extent of the town, the debris
from the pit which it fairly divided, if
not dissolved, was distributed to just
so much of the surface of the ground.
The consequences are seen and read
of all men, in the hearts that have been
rent, in the cl sed dwellings and busi
ness houses, in the forsaken streets, in
the absolute desolateuess of the town of
Greeneville. In the overflow several
wells were contaminated, the waters of
which, of course, are poisonous now,
but outside of the there is no
reason to believe the water of the town
to be otherwise than pure. The cliactß
of the town are without pits and are all
built upon a natural or artificial drain
or sewer, communicating with a creek
that passes from a northwest point, run
ning east and then south through and
on the edge of town, and soon entering
and passing through farms more or’ less
contiguous to the town. The stock on
these farms drink the water of this
stream from Greeneville, and as far dis
tant as five miles from town, and on this
stream cases of the disease have eecur
red. In no instance of occurrence of the
disease in Greene county has itjbeen dif
ficult to demonstrate a direct or indirect
contact with Greeneville atmosphere
and Greeneville water, contaminated by
human fmcal matter.
Ohattanoooa, July 4. —The total num
ber of deaths for Wednesday should
have been put at eighteen, and for
Thursday at twelve. Nearly every case
of yesterday can be traced to some im
prudence in diet. The greatest mor
tality has taken place where the lime
stone rocks are near the surface. Twen
ty-seven coffins were sold yesterday—
four for whites and twenty-three for
colored people. Six deaths are report
ed this morning.
Chattanooga, July s.—The total
deaths here during the past forty-eight
hours number 27 —fifteen on tlie 4th
and twelve on the sth ; cholera killed 7
and other causes 20. Os these, 3 were
white and twenty-four colored. All the
cholera cases were colored. This in
cludes the forty-eight hours ending at
8, p. m., to-day.
Dalton, July 4.—A case of cholera
here to day. Mr. Robert Lindsay, form
erly an employee of the Western and At
lantic Railroad Company, left Chatta
nooga yesterday morning, was taken at
4, p. in., and died at 10 o’clock last
evening. His brother is now sick with
the disease. Several bad cases of cholera
morbus in town, but none have so far
proved fatal.
Twenty-one deaths occurred in Nash
ville on Wednesday—eleven cholera and
ten of other diseases; eight cholera
deaths and five from other causes on
Thursday. The Robertson Association
has been disbanded, and the physicians
employed by the city and county dis
charged. Business is reviving, and the
refugees and country are coming
iu. The epidemic is considered over in
the City of Rocks. But it is worse in
the surrounding towns. Nine deaths in
Murfreesboro on Monday. Four deaths
in Greeneville. Among the recent deaths
was that of the wife of Dorsey, the tailor
who occupies ex-Presidont Johnson’s
old shop. Only six or seven white fami
lies are lelt in the town. Ex-President
Johnson has so far recovered as to be
able to flee wiih his family.
Twenty-four cholera deaths up to the
Ist iu Lebanon, and ten cases under
treatment. Twenty-two deaths in Good
lettsville up to the 3d—eight white and
fourteen colored; two deaths inlßelevue
on the Ist, and five in Nashville. The
disease rages fearfully at Shelbyville;
not less than two hundred cases and
forty-six deaths had occurred up to
Thursday. At that time nine colored
persons awaited burial. In short, the
epidemic is abating in Memphis and
Nashville and extending, with unabated

The Louisville papers sq'uarely ac
knowledge that the man with the black
valise has arrived. The disease prevails
at Franklin, Frankfort, Bowling Green
and all along the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad.
The cholera rages fearfully in Hunts
ville. A great many people have left—-
the rich ones for the springs, and the
poor ones for the mountains. Four
deaths have occurred in Birmingham.
The alarm was subsiding at the latest
account.
THE STORM KING.
Further Details of the Disaster iu the
West.
Cincinnati, July 6.—Advices from
Maysville, Ky., state that a severe storm
visited that seotion yesterday, unroofing
many buildings, uprooting trees, blow
ing off chimneys and doing great dam
age to the crops. The Harking Valley,
iu Ohio, is mandated, the water being
higher than was ever known before.
Six miles of canal are gone between
Athens and Selin. The damage to the
crops amounts to over a million of dol
lars, aud the salt works aud other com
mercial interests are suffering greatly.
St. Louis, July 6.—The storm reach
ed Hannibal, Mo. Three houses were
prostrated, and mnch damage done to
crops and fences.
Milwaukee, July 6. —Reports from
Fon du Lac state that the storm dam
aged grain throughout Green Lake, Fon
du Lac and Sheboygan counties to a
great extent. Its course from north
west to southwest was about five miles
wide, along which space grain, trees and
fences were thrown to the ground. In
Fon du Lac city many build ngs were
unroofed and a vast number of large
shade trees were uprooted. Hundreds
of acres of grain were prostrated along
the course of the storm. The reported
loss of life on Elkhart Lake proves to
be. false. Aside from the disaster at
Green Lake, it is a remarkable fact that
no lives were lost as far as heard from.
The damage to the telegraph lines is be
ing rapidly repaired, and communica
tion is now open to St. Paul. A heavy
storm passed over Minnesota yesterday,
but no damage was doue.
Cincinnati July 7. -Reports from all
.quarters more than confirm the damage
by the storm of the past few duys. The
calamity covers too much ground for
telegraphic details. Here is a sample :
In Hancock county, Illinois, barns and
farm houses were blown down and two
children killed. At Augusta, the Chris
tian Church was levelled, and the steeple
of the Presbyterian Church was pros
trated. A grain elevator was blown over,
houses were unroofed, and mnch other
damage done. A lady and child and the
ladyls sister were killed at Warsaw, Hli
nois.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Philadelphia, July 6.—The follow
ing is the form of a note addressed by
the Secretary of State to representa
of foreign Governments iu the United
States : *
Department of State, )
Washington, July 5, 1873. f
/ Sir— l have t!#Konor to onci\:
ftho information Sa the CL. >—
copy for tno rrnlKiuUirs proclamation, *
announcing the time and place of hold
ing an international exhibition of the
arts, manufactures and of the products
of the soil, proposed to be held in the
year 187 G. The exhibition is designed to
commemorate the declaration of the
independence of the United States on
the one hundredth anniversary of that
interesting and historic national event;
at the same time to present a fitting
opportunity for such display of the re
sults of the art and industry of all
nations as will serve to illnstriate the
great advances attnined, and successes
achieved in the interest of progress and
civilization during the century which
will have then closed. In a law provid
ing for the holding of the exhibition,
Congress directed that copies of the
proclamation of the President, setting
forth the time of its opening and the
place at which it was to be held, to
gether with such regulations as might
bo adopted by the commissioners of
the exhibitions, should be communicated
to the diplomat.c representatives of all
nations. Copies of those regulations are
herewith transmitted. The President in
dulges the hope that the Government of
will be pleased to notice the
subject, and may deem it proper to
bring the exhibition and its objects to
the attention of the people of that coun
try, and thus encourage their co-opera
tion’ in the proposed celebration ; and
he further hopes that the opportunity
afforded by the exhibition for the inter
change of national sentiment and friend

both nations may result in new and
still greater advantages to science and
industry, aud at the same time serve to
strengthen the bonds of peace and

States. I have the honor to be, sir,
with the highest consideration, your
obedient servant,

A BABY MURDERER.
A Colored Child Murders a Colored
4 Babe.
Vicksburg, Miss., June 2d.—Probably
one of the most anomalous murders in
the annals has just been perpetrated in
our vicinity, the murderer being a child
six years old. A few miles from this
city, at a place called Dalkeith, there
lives a colored family on the plantation
of one Mr. George Humphreys. This
family has one child, a boy of about six
years, as above stated, who has been a
general favorite among the colored peo
ple, and is, withal, very sprightly aud
precocious. Petted by his parents and
caressed by the neighborhood, he seemed
to have entertained a lively sense of his
own privileges, and was jealous if ho
saw any particular attention bestowed
upon a juvenile acquaintance. Lately a
little stranger, a baby, colored like him
self, was introduced to his house, and
drew much of the attention of the family
from him. The little six-year old made
several demonstrations of disapproval at
the favor showed to his baby friend, and
consequently now and then fell a victim
to some wholesome castigation. This ex
asperated him the more, and he secretly
nourished in his bosom a vindictiveness
that had a tragic termination. The day
before yesterday his parents went out to
the field to work, and he was left in the
house while the baby was asleep in the
cradle. A horrible thought at once
struck the little fiend, and he went out,
returning with a large stone, which he
oould carry only with difficulty. Stand
ing over the cradle he dropped the stone
several times on the baby’s head, batter
ing the skull fearfully, and producing
death on the instant. The young mur
derer, conscious that he had done
wrong, drew the dead body from the
cradle, dragged it to the woods, and
secreted it among the bushes. Return
ing to some of his playmates he told
them,/‘Lln»e_ I tilled Dohnny,” and
bn;to the place, of conceal
ment, where the little innocent luy, pre
senting a most ghastly appearance. The
parents, of course, were naif distracted,
but the litflo fellow talks over the mat
ter with tlie air of one who had per
formed a gi'lluut deed.

widow’s ears she directed White to build
another house for himself at a distant
point on the plantation, so as to remove
any syspicions that might be entertained
on account of his immediate presence on
the premises. This White did, but the inti
macy between him and the charming
widow continued, his visits being con
ducted clandestinely, but with more
regularity and frequency than ever. In
fact, the removal of White’s residence
rather served to afford more and better
opportunities to carry on their illicit
intercourse. Matters had progressed in
this way for some time, when rumors of
her husband’s unfaithfulness and Mrs.
Miirray’s intimacy with him reached the
ears of Mrs. White, and a flame of
jealousy was kindled in the mind of that
lady, who, besides being low bred anil
ignorant, is a virago and termagant of
the most npproveil order. Her tongue
set going once the scandal soon became
widespread, in consequence of which
the aristocratic young widow experienced
the deepest mortification. This feeling,
however, soon gave place to one of fiery
indignation, and Mrs. Murray, pistol in
hand, marched to the house of Mrs.
White and threatened summary ven
geance if she did not desist in using her
name in such a scandalous connection
with her (Mrs. White’s) husband. But
the widow found she mistook her woman,
for Mrs. White, instead of being at all
intimidated, flung back in the widow’s
teeth all the charges she had previously
made with increased vehemence, and
then and there dared her to put her
th teats into execution. Completely non
plussed and backed down, the widow
hail to pocket her pistol and retire in a
state of utter discomfiture. From the
date of this encounter the illicit relation
of the widow and White, which before
was only a mere rumor, became an es
tablished fact, and the deepest regrets
were expri ssed upon all on sides that a
lady of such high social standing, so
young, beautiful and accomplished,
should fall a victim to the wilds of so
degraded and disreputable a character
as White.
The sequal and crushing consequences,
however, of her downfall were yet to
come. Some two weeks since, and
about two months after the scene with
Mrs. White, it became fearfully ap
parent to the unfortunate widow and
her paramour that she was pregnant,
and this so alarmed them that they were
driven almost to their wits’ end to
devise some means by which the evi
dence of their guilt could be concealed.
Look which way they would there was
no escape from the prying eyes and
talkative tongues of their inquisitive
neighbors, and at last, in sheer despera
tion, they decided upon the horrible
plan of producing an abortion, thus add
ing an infamous crime to their previous
guilt. White at once procurred drugs,
which he gave to Mrs. Murray, and, the
expected result being achieved, they
were so far successful. But the end was
not yet reached. From that moment
the’ fallen young widow became ap
prehensive of exposure, arrest and im
prisonment and the victim of the most
poignant remorse. So terrible was the
stings of conscience that she made fre
quent attempts to take her own life, and
she had to be constantly and closely
watched. In the meantime White fled the
country, for he would most assuredly
have been shot by some indignant rela
tive of Mrs. Murray’s had he remained.
This made her more wretched and fearful
still. She first tried lsudanumn to put
an end to her existence, but was detect
ed by a brother-in-law iu time to save
her. The same relative foiled her in an
attempt to cut her throat, and a third
time she was caught in the act of try
ing to hang herself. It was now abso
lutely necessary that some one should
be constantly with her, and a strict sur
veilauce was maintained over her. On
the night of Saturday last she retired
with a Mrs. Brown, a neighbor, both
occupying the same bed. About two
o’clock on Sunday morning Mrs. Brown
awoke and missed Mrs. Murray. She at
once gave the alarm, and, a light being
procured, search was made for the
missing woman. After looking every
where else they at last went up stairs to
a garret, where, horror-stricken, they
beheld the body of Mrs. Murray sii'j
pended by a hank of yarn from a hr j.
in the wall. If she had been cut down
at once she might, in all probability,
have been resuscitated ; but the ter
rified inmates ran for the neighbors,
and before assistance arrived life was
extinct. She had stood one foot upon
a chair, the other on a box, and when
she had fa -tened the yarn to the hook
and around her neck she dropped be
tween the chair and box.

A FEW WORDS FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE MILLION!
~ O
A DISORDERED LIVER is the sourco of a
largo majority of tho ills with which tho
liiuß&u family is afflicted. There is no organ
of tho body, the normal functions of which
arc so essential to health. Upon its healthful
action depends the proper assimilation of tho
food and drink which supports and mffirishes
tho body. It is therefore evident that a de
rangement of its functions must entail disas
trous results upon tho entire system.
A MLIOUS STOMACH.
The bile is the natural cathartic of tho
bowels into which it passes just below the
stomach, being conducted there by its produc
ing organ—l he liver—by a pipe cailod a duct.
No bile properly belongs to tho Htomach ; but
if it is excessive in quantity, or viscid or thick
in quality, or if the uowels are obstructed or
costive, then it Hows back into tho stomach,
causing iiAusea, retching and vomiting of
yellowish, green, or even black bilious matter,
This is commonly called “bilious stomach,”
“ bilo on tho stomach,” or a “bilious attack.”
Sometimes this condition is comparatively
mild, but of long duration; or it comes and
goes according to varjing circumstances of
diet or health. In such cases there may bo
only a headache and sickness at the stomach,
with an expectoration of bitter phlegm, but
usually, alho, tho whites of tho eyes becoiuo
yellowish, and the complexion loses its fresh,
healthy color. Many jiersons live for weeks or
months in this condition, and at length Dys
pepsia, with all its train of distressing con
comitants, is fully dovelop6d. Bick lleauacho.
Flatulence, variable appetite, dullness ami
drowsiness, dizziness, bitter taste in the mouth,
dryness of tho throat and internal heat, pal
pitation of tho heart; sour stomach, with a
raising of tho food ; a bloated or full foeling
about the stomach, which is often attended
with pain and tendemoss; colic paiirn ; consti
pation of tlio bowels, alternating with attacks
of Diarrlnce ; Tiles, nervousnesss, coldness of
the extremities; dullness, alternating with hot
flashed, low spirits and gloomy forebodings.
This frightful catalogue of diseases invariably
follow a deranged state of the liver, and it be
hooves every ono who would enjoy lifo to
adont prompt measures for its restoration to
healthy notion.
For‘this purpose Mercury, in the form of
Calomel or Blue Till, is the medicine usually
resorted to. This poworful drug, though for
the time helping .the liver, does no lasting
good, has to bo resorted to more and more
frequently, and proves in the end more dan
gerous to the system than the disorders it is
intended to subdue
To obviate this difficulty, physicians have for
a long time sought for a medicine that would
act sjiecitically on the livor, restoring its nor
mal functions, and at the same time be exempt
from the dangerous effects of mercury. TheU*
research has at last bet-11 rewarded by the dis
covery of vegetable substances which, when
properly combined, exert a must powerful heal
ing influence upon that organ. It is justly
styled tho most Important triumph that Phar
macy ever achieved. These substances aro
contained in a concernral d form in
Dr. Tull's Vegetable Liver Pills,
Which canHOH them to act with wonderful cer
tainty and rapidity in relieving and curing the
diseased liver and those distressing maladies
which attend it. YVhile they aro active and
searching, they are mild and gentle in their
action, and can bo taken by tho most delicate
person. Thoy produce neither nausea, griping
or debility, nor require change of diet or occu
pation.
By tlio timely use of these Pills much pain
and suffering may ho avertod, and life, which
was before a continuous misory, may ho ren
dered happy by the restoration of vigorous
health and sound bodies.
