Tlie Remarkable Services ancl Fccmlity of I lie Austins. “I# Mrs. Austin in?” asked the Post, upon l>eiug admitted la a neat little cottage, on the coiner ot M. and Fourth streets southeast, yesterdav. “That’s my name,” replied the la dy win opened the doer. “Have a seat, sir.” The Post man accepted the picSored etiair, and, turning to wards the lady, ohserved that she was above the medium height, of a full figure, not more than fitly years of age, and, though fleshy, active Her hair was sprinkled with gray, and (tie 'tily eye she was possessed of, was blue. That stie enjoyed good health and a fine constitution, her wtiole ap pearance indicated, and her manner was that of a woman who was confi dent she could t ike care of herself. “Mrs. Austin,” began the reporter “The Post sent me to interview you.” “About whai? Oh, l know, atn.u f the children I’ve had. Ain’t that it?” ‘ That’s it, precisely, madame.” “Well, I’!l te!l you all abou. it. I'm not ashamed of it. I’ve given birth to forty-four children, and Foi not an old woman yet, am I? I dou’t feel old, anyhow, and I don’t believe I look old. I’m not quit 6 fify-four yet, hut I’m so noar it 1 might as well call that my age; l’il he fifty-four years old on the 18th of this month. Ain’t Ia young woman to have had that many children? I’ve had forty siice I married my present husband, and he’s right out there in the back yard now.” Stepping towards the rear door she called out, ‘ William, comejn Aiere!” Then she resumed her seat near the repoiter and, rattling rK ht on, said: “A y husband don’t like me to tell about >he children I’ve had, but I will do it. He’s ashamed of it, but I ain’t. I’m proud of it, and why shouldn’t I be? I’ve got cause, don’t you think so?” The reporter replied that lie had seen people very proud of a single cliild,| an( ! on ltlat principle Mrs. Austin certainly had a right become ecstatic of forty-four. Just here a gentleman entered the room,and Mrs. Austin, pointing to him said : “That’s my husband, and forty of my children belonged to him. Now, William, you needn't shake your head at me ; I’m just going to tell the reporter all about it. I say it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Then why shouldn’t I tell him if he wauls to know? Yes, sir [turning to the reporter], I’ve had triplets six times and twius thirteen times, I never had less than twins at a time.” “How many of a!', these children lived, Mrs. Austin ?” “Only eleven of them were born alive; all the others were fully devel oped, but were dead at their birth.— Why, I’ve got a sister only lorty-three years old and she had twenty-six cliil d:en, and eight of them are living to day. Her name's Garry Kinney, aud William, there —my husband—lias got a sistei that’s had forty-one chil dren, and ten of ’em nre living yet- She brought eleven of ’em to this town.” “Does she live here now?” “No; she’s moved to Canneticut. What’s tho uatue of that place your sister went to, William? Oh! I know now; Norwalk. That’s pretty good for tne family, ain’t it ? Where can you find another family with three women that’s had as many children ns me and my sister and my husband’s sister ?” “Are you a native of Washington Mrs. Austin?” “No, indeed. I waß horn in South Carolinia, aud raised in Tennessee. My grandfather’s name was Irby, one ot the big familes of South Curolinia. I come of royal blood, I tell you. My father was John G. Klink, a pi in ter. He published a paper in Mem phis before the war. Casey Young knew him well.— Everybody in Memphis knew him. I’ve been througli the war, if you want to know about that. I enlisted in 1862 in Tennessee.” “On which side?’’ “On the Union side; I’ve never be trayed my country. I've always tri ed to be a royal and God-fearing wo man. I was sent to hospital service in the army of the Cumberland, and I’ve been right to the front and taken Riwsav, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1878. ths wounded ofl the batt e-fid 1. Oh, T.urd ! that was an awful time l’v been 'hrough the storm, I carl tell you. You see I’m a regular physi cian, and havd been practicing lor tweu'y-fiva years. I was one of the first women physicians who ever prac ticed ; I studied under Dr. Stone of New Orleans You've hoard of him, haven’t you? But I know you have, tiecauso he was a noted loan. I 'tend- ed ollicers anT privates, too, under Gen R 'S'-cians until after the army fell back from Ohickamauga, and then I was sent to thevally of Virgin j ia, and it was up there I lost this I eye” —touching the sightless socket. “I've got medals for my service, and was given a regular commission. | My hustmud was all through the war | and was “hot all to pieces. Oh, my ! i but l picked trim up out of the mud j once prst torn to pieces. He bad a great big hole shot in his head, and ! his skull was trepanned witn a silvt-r ■ quarter and it’s in his head now.— Come round here, Wrllian, and show that place.” Mr. Austin walked round to the reporter and loaned over so that Lis head could be axamined. The silver coin was there covering what had been a very Ogly wound. During ibis examination the interviewer took occasion ,to study Mr. Austin a littlo. He is abont five leet eight inches high, compactly built aud finely de veloped : black eyes and dark hair, and beard scarcely tinged with gray ; a well-shaped head and good counte nance. He looked to be about forty live years of age, and liis conversation proved him to be a man of sound common sense and fair education. After the hole in his head had been axamined, Mrs. Austin said “But that ain’t all. Show your arm William.” The husband bared iris left arm and showed where a rainie ball hud passed through,crushing the* bone about two inches above the wrist. His wife next called upon him to show his injured leg. He bared his left leg, aud it was literally cover ed with scars. At the ba:tle ol Stone river the limb had been struck by a slrarpnel Shetland torn almost to piec es. The bone was crushed and the flesh torn, in rdaces, from the limb. By the same ahell the right Fg was also badly hurt. “And for all that,” continued rs. Austin, “he only gets a pension of $lO a mouth. When I saw him after he was shot I never thought he’d live to get any pension.” “She saved my leg,” put in Mr. Aus tin, (ointing to his wile. “Yes,” bho added, somewhat ve hemently, “the fool surgeon 6 wanted to cut it off, Hut I told them I could save it. They said it mu-t come ofF, but I just got a pist 1, and told Ibein I,d put a bullet through any man tiiet trieil it I knew I could save it, and it would be hotter than no log.” In the conversation the fact can e out that Mr. Austin, and his if",too, had always been good Republicans, and the reporter asked why trial [aity had not done something for so good a soldie-. She replied; “Haven't we tried and iried to get him some pIaCJ that Wou and just sup port us c rmfortably, but wo’vo g t more insults than anything else.” “Two years ago,” sad Mr. Austin, breaking into the conversation, “I got an endor ement from the whole Ten nessee delegation, and together wi'.li my honorable discharge and other pa pers, filed it in the Treasury Depart merit, with nil application for any place they could give mo. 1 was put off from time to time, and trdd to come t ack next week, and so on, un til I was worn out, and I let it go. I tried to get my papetc back, but nev er have succeeded.” “Tell him about the 850,” suggest ed Mrs. Austin. “They wanted me to pay SSO fo an appointment,” he said. “I’ll tell you just how it was,” said she. “We weie to goto the appoint ment clerk, and so we di>, and ask ed for a place for my husband. The appointment clerk aske ) me if I had a bonus, and I said. What’s that? let ting on that I didn’t kuow what he meant. Then he said “Have you got SSO? I told hiu; we didn’t have the money, that that’s what we wanted the position for —to get money. Then he said that was the only way to get it and if we didn’t have the SSO we couldn’t get a position.” “Who was the appointment clerk that tune?” asked the post. “His uauie was Martin,’’ replied Mr. A. “Yes added his wife, and we were insulted more than once. When I went, not long ago,and asked oneof the men for my husband’s papers he al most knocked me dowD.” In addition to his othei injures Aus tin was crushed while working on the Kansas in the navv-yard, in d869, anti taken out for dead. By faithful nur sing his wife brought hitu round after he bad been in bed six months, aad lie found he had been discharged du- ring that time. Adroir..l Dalilgron j had him restored to the pay roll, but some liepubhcan boss soon alterwards discharged him again. Austin has ( paperu to prove that he was a gallant soldier and was wounded in action ; iris wife showed the reporter several medals—one given him by President Lincoln —as evidence of the service she rendered in the hospitals and car irg for the wounded right on the bat tle-field. Yet this couple lias lived hero in Washington for years, almost in hearing of the Radical shrieks at the Capitol over the “Uuion soldier,” . and not a single crumb could they get from the Radical table. THE PESTILENCE. Tire Awful Condition of Mem phis—Eftluvin of thePliigue A Returned Doctor’s Thrilling Narration. Dr William T. Ramsey, one of th. physicians who went to Memphis with the corps of Washington nurses, has ; returned to Washinton in company ' with Dr T F Pease and Mrs Wallis, j The following brief interview with Dr. Ramsey discloses some of the horrors and necessities of the plague stricken city, Dr. Ramsey said ; “Bo fore re-ctiing Memphis—even when five miles oat—the air was laden with the yellow fever poison, and as we ap proached the city rhe stench’was abso lutely sickening. Dr. Pease <;nd my self went to the Peabody] Hotel, the only one now open, and were shown into a room from which a dead body had just been removed. Vessels of black vomit where standing about the room and the bed clothing had not been changed. Tho hotel itself is a very pest-house, and victims of tho disease are in two finds of the rooms yulphur pans are kept burning in the ha'ls, and the clothes bedding e‘c., are constantly disinfected, but they cannot ge* help euough in tire hotel to do one-half what aught to be done. “How many trains to day doc tor?” “Two at present but all commerce has ceased aud business of noarly ev every kind is suspended. Tire people have no heart to attomp; any rfgular business and could not if thay would. Even tire liquor saloons for tho most pa.t are closed, and die provisions stores as a rule are empty.” “What soems to Le their greatest ru ed ?” “Provisions, clothing, physicians, money, nurses and medicine about in the order named. Tim best thing that can tie douo now is to send plenty of provisions and clothing. Ttrouegroes and many poor wtiites fur a regiou of one hundred and fifty miles arc aud Menphis have Hocked in there, near ing they could get something % to oat and as fot clothes, hundreds of poor people are going about the street*, es pecially colored women, with hardiy anything on at all. The sights in this respect me do bossing.” “Are they disposed to bo peacea ble?” “So far no serious outbreak lias om cured, butjhe Letter classes are in constant terror of a riot. The city is in thejiands ot colored police alto gether, and while they believe very well, there is still a lurking fear ou the part of tho whites of some addi tional evil.” The recent Maine electiod his crea ted a good deal of talk. There were three candidates in the fi-ld for Gover nor, republican, democratic nnd green back. Neither was elected, as it takes a majority to elect. The democrats and greonbackers combined hold a majoiity in the House and the repub licans predominate in the Senate. I(. is presumed that eithor the greenback or democratic candidate for Gov. will be releeted by the legislature. Eugene Haie, the blackest republi can in the U. S. was beaten for Con gress by a greonbacker that hews rock fot a living.’ 7 * The republicans lost one othor of their congressmen. It ve*ily seems as Ben Hill says, that the Republican party is dying Brrt few persons are aware that they do wagons and carriages more injury by greasing too much than in any other way. A well made wheel will endure common wear for ton or twelve years' if care is taken to use | the right kind and propper amount of j grease ; hut if this matter is not at tended to, they will be used up in five or six yeais. Lord should never be used on a wagon, for i* will penetrate the bub aud work its way out around the teneus of the spokes and spoil the wheol. fallow is the best lubricator , for wood axles, and castor oil for iron. Just euough grease should be applied to the spindle of a wagon to give it a light coating ; this is better than more, for the surplus will work out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder bands* and nutwrshers into the huh around the outsileof the boxes. To oil an iron axle, first wipe the spindle clean with a cloth wet with spiiits of turpentine, and then apply a lew drop3 of castor oil near the shoulder rnd end. Ooe teaspooc (ul ts sufficient for the whole. VOr, 14-NO. 30- Tlie Influence of Newspapers. A school teacher,\wlio hail been a lung time engaged in his profession, and witnessed the intluence of a news i papo>' upon the min is of a family of children, writes as follows ; I have found it to he a universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of both saxes, and of all ages, who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who have not, are : 1 Better read is, excellent in pro nunciation, and consequently read more and under;,tandingly. 2. They are better speller*, and de fiue words with oase and accuracy. 3. They obtain praciical knowledge of geography in almost half tho time it requires of others, as the tiewspa peis have made them acquainted with the location of the important places, if nations, their government and do ings on the ghdip. 4. Tliey me hotter grammarians for having become so familiar with every vaiiety of stylo in the newspa pers, from the common-place advertis ements to the finished and classical oration of the statesmen, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text and constantly analyze its construction with security. 5. They write better compositions, using better iarguage, containing mote thoughts, more cle irly an l cor rectly expressed. G. Those youug nun who have for years been readers of newspapers are always taking the load in debat ing societies, exhibiting a more ex tensive knowledge upon a greater variety ct suhj >et?, and expressing their views with greator fluency, clearness and correctness. Wheat. The possibilities of tho yield of wheat have not yet been ascertained. The reported production of 40 or 4G bu-hels per acre looks like a pretty large stety te most of our farmers.— What, than, will they say to a yield of 84 bushels, as reported in England? The wheat was cultivated like corn wi'h a hoe. The seed was planted in a drills, one foot apait ami four in ches apart in the rows. The spaces betweeu the diiil rows’wore carefully cultivated unt.l the plun‘B had attain ed sufficient growth lo interfere with tho work. Tho result was eighty fmir bushels per acre. Another expe liinent with rows six finches apart, aud four inches apait in the rows re sulted in sixty-niue*bushels bor acre. Those who think farming is a kind ol hum-drum occupation with no chance tor intellectual (ffret will do well to try their intellects in devising means to secure these results in wheat grov iug. Twisted Sentences. A clergyman says: “A young wo man died in my neighboibood yester terlay, while I was preaching in a beastly state of intoxication.” A coroner’s verdict read thus: “The deeoased came to his death by oxcos uivo drinking, producing appoplexy in n the minds of the jury.” A Western paper says: ‘‘A child was run over by a wagou three years old, aud cioss-oyed, with p intlets on, which never spoke afterwards.” Ooe of Boole Rocha’s invitations to an Irish nobleu'ju was rather equivo cal. He writes: “I hope, my lord, if you ever come witnin a mile of my house, you will stay there all night.” A correspondent, in writing of a celebration iu city ol says; "Tue procession was very lino and nearly too miles long, as was also the prayer ot Dr. l’etiy the chap lain.

The Memphis Avalacfc saye: Then* was a touching little scene on one of our streets yesterday. A kind harted lady was going to see a sick friend when she heard her name called.— Turning she saw a slender girl, (tree - led in mourning, advancing toward ' her. As the ch Id came nearei the | Ldj recogn zed in her the daughter iof a neighbor who had died the day before near tho oity. The little girl threw her arms about the lady, Sid, sobbing, cried: “You aren't afraid of me are yarn? - ’ “No my child,” was the soothing reply. ‘ Everybody else is,” said tfcw poor child, “They won’t come near me because papa died of the fever, and we veie with bio), land mamma. The little girl’s heart was stung by the chilling ropuUion which came to her in so deep a sorrow. A good looking Irishman, stopping ,t a hotel to warm himself, inquired of the landlord. “ What was the news?” The landlord, disposed to run upon him, rep'ied: “They say the devil is dead.” “An’sure,” says l’at, “that s news indade.” Shortly after hr went to the bar, lill iown somo .coppers and resume ! his seat. Tue landlord, alwysrea ly for a customer, naked him what ho would take. “Nothing at all,” said Pst. “Why, then, did you put this <*••• - ey lioie?” “An’ sure, sir, it's the custt my own country, when a chap los his daddy, to give him a few * to help him pay for the wake.” A man bt anotherjten dollars that he could tell him how much water to a quart went over the falls of Niaga ra in a year.
