The Board cf Health, at its session this afternoon, withdrew their non-intercourse quarantine regulations, end Memphis is now free and open to the world, excepting those from iofocted districts. Health cScrrs will be cn all trains, but there wi!l bo no Interruption to travel save from infected towns, ' such as Jacksonville, FU., Decatur, Ala., and Jackson, Miss. This order fgoes into effect at once, and the military pickets around the city nave tee a withdrawn. Trains, both through wand accommodation, cn all the railroads, will resurce ronnin to-morrow. The example set by Menphi wi:i be promptly fallowed by all the fSoad minor towns, and within the n-xt four lays tbm wheels of commerce in this s-o-(t;on will be running with the same regularity as previous ta the panic It has at dtnei on tbe minds of the people here that 'they bate acted rashiy and bare allowed them- ; selves to become frightened at a shadow, Durr'ing the past six or ieht years it baa been their boat that yellow fevsr could never aca'm become epilem'e in Memphis. It was truthfully asserted that we had the best system of sewerage in the world, and that the city was kept at 'all times in a thoroneh sanitary condition, and yet in the face of all this, when a few cases of fever were reported at Decatur. Ala., 1&5 miles to the .east and at Jackson, 31 in., 215 miles to the isoutb. Memphis became panic-stricken, quaran tined aeamst the world, and thtts confessed i that all of her utterances of the past were but tt-, It i hnt inctic hnwvf. tn (IT that the regularly constituted health authorities of ?t5e city had full faith in their ability to cope with the threatened cancer. They have always said that a quarantine against infected citie by means of inspectors on railroads was sufficient, Ja-d if hAlf a dozen imported cases developed here they had faith in their power to prevent it .from SDrcading and becoming enidemie, relying principally on the improved, sanitary conditions (of the eiiy as compared with 1878 and 1S79. Bat ithey yielded their own sound judgment to a popular demand made during the existence of a T-asie produced by the outbreak of the fever at Jaeksor, Mies It is safe, however, to say tbat Memph:s will never again enforce quarantine; if the occasion is ever again presented her abiljitv t') test the efficiency of their improved condition will te given the greatest latitude ) At Decttur and Ilunrsvllle. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 27. A Decatur, Ala., special says: Only one new case of yellow fever was reported this mornicg, but since then two well-developed ases and one suspicions case, all colored, have appeared. Dr. W. B.

The Arrer.eao's Hcntsvii'.e, Ala., special says: W. A. Summers, a refugee from Decatur, was tain down with yoIow fever here last night. He wa- immediately removed to the hospital, ttro mile?; out, and is cr.t-.rely isolated. There is no dancer cf the dtSe spreading, and there is co excitement. liaising the Blockade. . New Orleans, Sept 27. The saall towns of Mississippi having so far relaxed their quarantine rsstriction as to allow railroads ta run through trains under prescribed conditions, J3aton Rouse, Vicksburg and Shreveport have iollowed th lead so far as to let in freieht. The popIo of Meridian, ncdtntr the supply of provisions tboat exhau'ted, have mapnnnimonfly con1 sec tea to lior the Mobile & Ohio railroad to ;run freieht trains through the town, in order that t Ley may get something to eat from the ontside world, against which they had quarantined. Hao?er appears to have broaeht the quarantine officials of several other towns in Mississippi to their senses. Jesting Tht May irove Costly. Houston, Tex., Sept. 27.

Berlin, Sept 27. The Retchsanzeiger publishes this report to Emperor William, prepared by Prince Bismarck: "I do not consider the diary in the form published genuine. The Crown Prince, in 1870, did not share in political discussion. . I did not have the Kiog's permission to discuss with the Crown Prinje the mere intimate questions of our poJicy, beeacse the King feared it mieht lead to indiscretions at the English court and harm our rela

tione with the German federal allies, it seems as if the daily notes, or at any rate their later elaboiatloo, were the work of some person in the Crown Prince's entourage. Testing the diary'a accuracy, especially remarkable is the chronological error made in referring to a warm discussion between myself and the Crown Prince regarding the future of Ger many and the relations between the Emperor and the German princes as occurring at Ver sailles. This conversation occurred on Sept. 3, at Donchsry. The assertion in the diary that the Crown Prince entertained the idea of using force against our federal allies and violating treaties is a calamny against oar departed sovereign. Just as little io accordance with the facts is what the diary says concerning my attitude toward the imperial question in 18C6L The Crown Prince doubted whether imperial federation woud have been possible or even useful in 1S6& The declaration of the Pope's infallibility was always regarded by me with indifference. This war less the case with the Crown Prince. I considered it a false move on the part of the Pope, and I begged the Crown Prince to let the question rest, at any rate during the war. The Crown Prince eould never have had that impression nor entered that statement in his diary. 1 pursued the question after the war. In view of these facts, 1 do not consider the diary published in the Deutsch Rundschau genuine. Therefore, 1 prsy your Majestv to empower me to instruct the Minister or. Justice to order a peblic prosecution.'' The Alleged Wtiltechapel Clew. London, Sept. 27. Medical authorities here, referrincto the statement that a man represent ing himself to be the sub-curator of the Engilish Pathological Museum called upon the coroner and told him that before the recent mur ders in Whitecharel an American visitd him and asked him to procure certain anatomical specimens from female bodies, for which be w.as wunng to pay jlu eacn, expressea me opinion that the man was a student who was prazticiog a hoax upon the eoroner. They say it is easy to procure the disired specimens for 1 each, after inquests have been held upon the bodies of paupers. They thick it unlikely that an American would come to Encland to procure such specimens when they could be bought in the United States. righting; in Samoa. Auckland, Sept. 27. Advices have been received here from Samoa that the partisans of the deposed king, Malietoa, have had an engagement with the army of King Tamasese, and that the Utters forees were totally defeated.

Da Cassagnac has ereated a sensation by accusing members of the Chamber of Deputies of stealing tank cotes from Vicomte de Kermenguy, a deputy, in ths writiosyoom of the chamber. The North German Gazette, the Cologne Gazette and the Berlin Post publish a s?nii-c5ciul hint to France to hasten the conclusion of the inquiry into the shooting of the porter cf the German embassy at Paris.

The Times says: "The trtu-t craze has reached the makers cf witite lead, and they have made an iron-clad combination. The first edict of the new combine was given to the paint trade two or three days ago, when the price per ton was arranged at $15 on large orders and $25 on small ones. All the white lead manufacturers in tbe country, witli one exception, are in the combination. The exception is the Atlantic White Lead and Lin esed Oil Company, of this city, tut while this concern is nominally out of the trust, it is in it as much as the others, for the firm has agreed to maintain the combination prices. The movements toward the trust have been on foot several months. The final arrangements, however, were only made a few days ago. Tho leading spirits iu the enterprise, as far as this section of the country is concerned, are the Jewett White Lead Company, the Bradley White Lead Company, tbe Brooklyn White Lead Company and tbe Union White Lead Compter. Besides these and the other New York and Brooklyn concerns, all the big white lead establishments in Pittsburg, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago and Omaha were represented at the meetings, and tbe result is tbat the thirty or thirty-five manufacturers in the cocntrv have an organization tbat will affect the paiat and oil trade throughout the country in a marked degree. According to tbe trust's price-list the advance per pound is about, three-quarters of a cent In lots of 500 pounds the price4is 7 cents, less a discount of 25 per cent for cash in fifteen days and a rebate of half a cent per pound if paid within sixty days. In addition to this there is a rebate of a quarter of a cent per pound to bnyera of ten tons during six months." Defaulter Bedell. New York, Sept 27. The examination of James E. Bedell, the defaulting clerk, of the law firm of Shipman, Barlow, Larccque & Cboate, was begun to-day at the Tombs court. Two complaints were taken against him. Th first is made by J. E. Schermerhorn, charging Bedall with forging a mortgage for 817,000. Register Slevin was present to testify tbat his signature on the mortgage was a forgsry. The other complaint is made by Solomon Hanford, of the law firm the prisoner defrauded. Mr. Koop, the man who first discovered the forgery, also makes a complaint. The accused was remanded until Saturday next, without bail. He asked that bail be fixed, but Judge White said that waa a matter in the jurisdiction of the court, and until the examination was held he shonld decline to fix any bail. Bedell waa then remanded. Tried to Kill Uer Sister. Chicago. Sept. 27. People in the vicinity of I20S West Randolph! street noticed, yesterday afternoon, a rather larce and excited woman rubincinto a little millinery store at the number mentioned. Just aftr she disappeared in tho doorway a loud pistol report wos heard, followed by a female shtiek. An officer hastehed to the scene just in time to catch the infuriated woman's arm as she was about to take second aim at a woman lying prostrate on the floor, who was found to be a sister to her assailant The would-be murderer aaid her name was Ada Dolau. She did not deny having shot at her sister, Aenes Russell, but rather regretted that her aim was not truer. AH she would say in explanation was that Aeoes bad stolen her little boy. Twice yesterday she made trips to Desplaines street station and told her story, but the police did' not think it worthy of investigation. Agnes was trembling over ber narrow escape and the shock caused by tho

ballot, which had grazed her fae. She eald her sister Ada and her husband were boarding with her at 1203. and for some reason, probably a domestic qunrre), Mr. Po'an, who is a eewirg machine aernt had left his wife. Mrs. Dolan then went to 22 Gold street, leaving her five-year-old child with Miss Russell. .Mrs. Dolan called on Monday, and was told that the boy was visiting another married sifter, Louise, on Madison street Tbn, Acnes says, she began totoftr around as if she were crazy and accused her of stealing th boy from her. The other sister went to Wisconnn yesterday morning. Agne said the whole affair was one of jealousy; that Mrs. Dolan did not like tho idea of her husband boarding with her.

A Discrepancy That Jfeetl Correction. Boston. Sept. 27. The Department of State of Massachusetts has written to Senator Hoar calling attention to th following discrepancy in the Elector.il College laws.

CONDON'S CANARD. A Coming Statement That Will Demenstrate the Fltty of the Chargo. Blooniiogton II!. Sit-cUl to Chicago Inter Ocean. The statement made recently by Wiliism Condon, sr., that, in 1876, in a speech made in this city by General Harrison, that gentleman made rematks derogatory to the Irish, has at last been reduced to the form of an affidavit, and is accomplice ! by several other affidavits, as to Harrison's alleged words, and as to the fact that Condon mentioned having heard Harrison thus abuse the 'Irish. While the statement of Condon has created scarcely a ripple locally, and bad boen almost forgotten, it is now evident that it has been seized upon by the Democracy and made a lever in the National campaign, and many inquiries are being received from all over the country as to Condon and his statement. There wr many hundreds present at the meeting in 1S7G, and of all who heard the speech Condon alone is the man who says he heard the language attributed to Harrison. Preposterous as the idea is that General Harrion should ever have used such language, the charge acaiost him is being pushed with all the pertinacity and rualighitr with which the Morey letter," the 'Dollar-a-day lie, and other camra!gn roorbacks of like character were spread by the Democratic managers. Several representatives of Democratic newspapers have been here ostensibly to leek the bottom facts, but really they have spent their time in hobnobbing with Condon and his relatives and friends, and deciarirg in advance of investigation tbat Condon's statement is gospel truth. Condon is an old business man of Bloomington, and formally was a local politician. He has dono some work for the cause of Ireland, and seems to have a penchant for detecting insults to the Irish people. It wss he who alleged that he overheard Carter Harrison, on board the Citv of Rome on his war to Europe, ppeak slightingly of tbe Irish, and on his return to Bloomington rushed into print. Carter Harrison was at that time a candidate for reelection as Mayor of Chicago. Despite this insult to tho Irish, alleged to have been beard by Mr. Condon, he voted, as he has himself ao knowledzed, for Carter Harrison for Governor, lu this instance his love for Ireland was not sufficiently powerful to overcome his allegiance to the Democratic party, though its candidate bad said insulting things of the Irish people. It is generally believed that Mr. Condon has got the two Harrisons mixed. Be tbat as it may, the Republicans and, indeed, men of other parties are indienant over tne efforts being made to injure Mr Harrison in the eyes of the Irish people, and the Republican county central committea are preparing a renly that will knock the bottom out of the yarn most effectually. It will embodv thirty or more affidavits of the most unimpeachable character by men who heard Harrison's speech from end to end, and who declare that the assertion that be said anything whatever drogarcry or insulting to tie Irish is utterly false. The statement will borcady for tbe public in a day or two. and will be a clincher. The stunted calf tbat has been obliged to rob its bodily growth to keep from freezing, or spnd its summer fighting the 'gauntwolf,'' has bad its energies misdirected, and in after life it will rarely ever pay to try to make a profitable cow of it

Sylvester Grubbs, the Princeton murderer, who killed a young lady at the fair at tbat place because she refused to keep his company, was brcught to the State P rison South this morning for safe keeping until the time for his trial Grubbs had a narrow escape from Judge Lynch. He bad been brought up to Princeton from Evansville for trial, and was in the county jail there. His attorney thought he eould not get justice in Gibson county on account of the bitter feeling against him there, and asked for a change of venue. It wag then tbat the disposition to dea( out summary justice to the murderer began to manifest itself, and the ominous muttering! of the great crowd who bad gathered at the courtbouse convinced the sheriff that it would cot be safe for his prisoner to remain over night in Princeton. He was aware that the road ta Evansville was guarded by an angry mob, thirsting for the blood of the ruilty wretch, and procured an order from tbe court to remove Grubbs to the penitentiary at this place. It bad been arranged to take him from the jail at 4 oVlock this morn'ig and hang blm. The sheriff learned of the intentions of the mob, and had his prisoner in readiness to make a dash for the Air-line train doe at 11 P. M., just as it was pulling out for tbe East and thus foil tho mob. In this he was successful, as it was not expected that he would go in that direction. All the other avenues leading from the city were guarded, and it would have been folly to have attempted to get away by any other route. The Quakers at lllclunoml.

A Veteran Republican of Whom All Uooslers Are Proud. M. n. K., In Chicago Inter Ocean. There is no man in Indiana more deeply interested in the campaign than Col. R. R. Thompson, ex-Secretary of the Navy. Colonel Thompson is now more than eighty years old. His hair is as white as snow, but he is erect, active and vigorous, a magnificent apecimen of dignified and serene old age. Hii faculties bave not failed him in tbe slightest degree, and bis wonderful powers of memory still entitle him to te called the Old Man Eloquent" Colonel Thompson lives with his family in Terre Haute. He has a delichtful home, spacious, and embowered in tiees, on South Sixth street Here be spends much of his time, among his children and his books. He is also a member of the Fort Harrison Club, where he gees every day to meet and talk with bia friends. He presided oter the Fred Douglass meeting on the 22dand introduced the speaker. His voice rang out like tbe peal of a trumpet, distinctly heard to the very outskirts of the noisy crowd assembled in and around .the wigwam, and enforced instant silence. He is an evidence that a prophet is not always without honor io his own country. Tbe rrspect and reverence paid him by his fellow-townsmen are a splendid tribute to intellect, ability and character, which they have tested by many years of close acquaintance. During a recent visit to Terre Haute the correspondent of the Inter Ocean called upon him. II waa taking hie after-dinner siesta and, not wishing to distnrb him, a later hour wus fixed for tbe visit At the appointed time he came down the stairs, dismissing tbe servant and hospitably ushered his visitor into the drawing-room. He is a man of distinguished bearing, with thnt polish which a long public career imparts 'to certain natures, and is a most deiifltitful talker. He thought that his opinions could net be of much Interest or importance to the Inter Ocean, but was assured to the contrary. Whao asked what he tbouzht of General Harrison as a candidate, he replied that it was the very beat choice the convention could have made. "I thought this," he continued, ''and it was one reason why I poshed his nomination with such earnestness. He is a growing candidate and a growing man, and he will develop into one of the ablest statesmen the country has ever known. His power lies la the peculiar structure of his mind, whieh is evidently clear, well balanced, and well stored. In other words, he will make no mistakes." Colonel Thompson was asked if he believed that General Harrison was in danger of saying too much of committing himself, in the great number of speeches he waa obliged to make, and of the diversity of bis audiences, which ho was forced to keep in mind. "None, notie,M he said earnestly; T thought I foresaw all this when he came prominently before tbe party as a canCldate." Colonel Thompson spoie at length upon the speeches, which are a marvel to the whole country, and said that while Mr. Blaine's were undoubtedly masterly efforts, be went to his audiences, knowing their interests and what to say to them, while with General Harrison tbe situation was reversed. The peonle fiocked to him. and he Lad, in many instances, co time for preparatieu, ytt tbe speech was always ready, convincing and thoroughly appropriate. "My knowledge of him as a roan," he said, "Is based upon my intimate acquaintance with him. extending back over along period of years I knew him when he was a young lawyer establishing himself in his profession, and have known him ever since.'' "What do you think of his e'ectionr "I think that there is no doubt of his election. It is an al3o!ute certainty. I canoot calculate upon his exact majority, of course; a majority depends upon so many contlneencies tbat it ran not b estimated beforehand. n Colonel Thompson was asked what he regarded as the mct prominent feature of this campaign as contrasted with the many In which he had participated. "The leading issue is the tariff, undoubtedly. I find that peorle everywhere want to hear all that can be said upon tbe subject" He was asked if he did not consider Mr. Cleveland's message fortunate for tho Republican party, in that it had forced tho problems of protection or free trade upon the people for a final solution. He did not so rgird it, staticg that he believed there was wisdom In keeping great economic questions out of the domain of partisan politics. He thought, however, that so long as it had become a point at issue, the Democratic party, professing to advocate tariff reform, undoubtedly meant free trade. Such questions oucht not to be party questions, but present agitation would cause people to look back upon a long line of policy to the past, and study the practical workings of both. If freetrade were achieved, it meant, so far as the material prosperity of the country was concerned, a start down bill. We would have to go clear to the bottom and climb up arain. As a proof of the ultimate aim of the Democrr.tie policy, he referred to the constitution of the Confederacy, the South being now, as then, the dominating power, which declared unequivocally for free-trade, lb South tad its own interests in mind, wanting to buy in a cheap market, like that. of England, and sell in a dear one. Mr. Thompson said that he was much interested in the election; and while not under tbe direction ot, the State central committee, would make .k speeches during tbe remainder of the campaign He had spoken in Charleston, III., and elsewhere, and had other engagements. lie sai l tbat while be was in perfect health he flt that it was necessary to spare himself as much fatigue as possible, which he could better do while be was personally able to control bis own movements. Dropping tbe campaign and its issues he talked most entertainingly of his acquaintance with' Abraham Lincoln being, as be remarked, "almost tbe only man now living who had been in Congress with him." "Our districts were clone together, he said,- "and we were intimately associated in politics. His ability was manifested even then, but he was a man who needed a great crisis to develop his greatness. The pro.'poet in Terre TTaute is veryenconrasIng. If he is in the city Colonel Thompson never misses a political meeting. He usually presides, and whatever he says is always heard with tbe deepest interest and attention. There is one organization here of which the central committee are justly proud a live and wide-awakei Harrison and Morton elub, composed entirely of union printer. They turn out with every procession and out-cheer the crowd. Written for the Indianapolis Journal. Mis. Cleveland' Husband and th Old Soldier Part L Kiaj lUnry IV After Ignatius' Donnelly.) But I remember when the fight was done, ben I was wrecked with aee and extreme toil, Breathless and faint, leaning upon my crutch There came a certain lord, fat and dudish dressed.

We bave read in story-books of the ideal mother who always wore her Lair dressed in the same neat bands, and whose dresses of quiet gray were fashioned tbe same, year alter year. Sbe made a pretty picture in the story, but in real life would have been lets satisfactory to her daughters, and ber husbaud might tiro of the aameoess in her daily attire. But even the monotony of a uniform fashion of dres, if kept neat, is more commendable than a alat; tern everyday toilet and spasmodic, tidying up for company. The most obtue man notices, if be does not often commeut, a woman's general appearance. One day he rematks, "What a r.eat-lookir.g woman ne:ghbor Smith's wire is." or, "How like distraction Jones's women-folks look." He has raentaliy compared yoa with them to your credit or los. As yea grow cider take more care of your personal appearance. Don't say. "I bave Lad my day, 1st the girls bave it all cow," for it is the most mistaken kindness yon can do them. The shabby mother, if ever so good and kind, is at times a mortification to the young peop!e who have not learnt to overlook these miner defects even in one they love, And who feel almost as keenly the faults in mother's personal appearance as in tbeir own. Persistent neglect, how ever, to make the most of one's appearance after a time makes the sons and dausbtera selfisn; they grow in think all belongs to them as a matter "of course. But yon say, ''We have but little to spare," and "the girls go away from home more than I, nd make other apparently reasonable excuses for a mother's self-denia1. A tasteful appearance is not always the effect of expending s large sum of money. It costs nothing to comb your hair in the prevailing fashion, and if the girls kindly offer to arrange it a new and becoming way, do not refuse ta wear it so jest because it feels odd and the hair-pins poll a little. A day or two will accustom you. to the chauge.

Don't buy all your ealico dresses of the same color or make theux after the same pattern, and do have them fit Always aim to have one best dress that is presentable, with lace or collar basted in ready to wstr. It is so restful to think of it hanging in tne closet ready for an emergency, and although yon thick.

The first instances are those made under the direction of Professor Mcntz, at the farm -school of Vincennes, France. A solution of 1 per cent of sulphate of iren was used; the quantity corresponded to fiftyeight pounda per acre. On equal lengths of rows the increase was 10 per eent of dwarf beans, and within a fraction of 10 per cent cn carrots. From some otar trials there was reason to think that a second watering would bave been still more beneficial, and this opinion ia confirmed by an experiment made by L Fischer, president of tbe section of Horticulture at Chaillevois, in which an increase of So per cent of crop is noted by use of 1170 pounds per acre. On both of these trials tbe spaces occupied by the crops and their weight were accurately determined. Other instances are given. One is a dose equivalent to thirteen hundred pounds an acre on a plat of peas and other vegetables. The peas pushed with extraordinary Tiger and grew to a gigantic size, and the crop was very abundant; the other vegetables presented an equally remarkable development. Another, some lettuce, and the copperas waa ued at the rate ofight hundred pounds per aere; tbe plants 7ere very beautiful, and leaves very erect Another case is the successful use of it on plat of strawberries. Several instances are given of its use cn vine with the most beneficial effects, especially ot seme that were greatly enfeebled and suppose to be in a dying condition, and others wbs leaves bad become a sulphury yellow, indicative to vineyardists of lingering disease; in the formej case the vines took on a new growth, and in iLt latter the foliage became perfectly green. Its good effect on pear trees is noticed, in enc case transforming by its action fruits that were formerly hard and gritty. Roses, geraniums, violets and other plants are mentioned as receiving benefit from its use on them. The conclusion is that copperas can be enplored to advantage on garden crops at the rate of 250 to S00 pounds per aere, using it in a solution of per cent., and repeating the employment three or f onr times. Insect Tests. New England Farmer. There is no royal road to success in the war against ioseets. Inquiries are often received asking the best way to destroy white grubs, cutworms, grasshoppers, etc White grubs may ba cleaned from a mowing or pasture by turning in a drove of hogs and keeping them there till they bave destroyed all tbe grubs, which tbey will gladly do, but tbe remedy in many cases would be about as bad as the disease. In wet seasons, unless the grubs are exceedingly numerous, new roots will come out from the grass plants about as fast as old ones are eaten off, and the sward is not killed. But in dry seasons, and when the grubs are very thick, they sometimes destroy the sod so It may be rolled up like a carpet Strawberries st in land recently in grass are sometimes badly eaten by thisireect. To prepare ground for strawberries it should be cultivated in hoed crops two years, when roost of the grabs will have come to maturity and cease to eat Men who keep their land under constant cultl vation seldom suffer badly from the depreilions of the white grub, the grasshopper or the cricket Constant cultivation disturbs tbe nesting arrangement of many insect which live in the gronnd a portion of their life. Late plowing is believed by some to destroy white grubs, but most of them go below the reach of the plow before freezing we ier sets in. If we would more tho. uehly study the babifs of insects, either by observation or through Loaks and papers, we would Le far belter prepared for successfully fiphtice thm.

If the farm be on low, cet land a proper system of drainage is of the first importance, and when so drained eueh a farm other circumstances equally favorable pays on an average a larger yearly profit than upland or hilly farms.
