The yellow fever in Memphis is still on the increase, many cases being reported daily. It is also prevailing tb some extent outside of tbe city. The fever in New Orleans seems to be getting good bold, and it is feared will soon become as virulent as it is in Memphis. Gen.

Peace to his A company of Russian soldiers, while recently on their way to EJisa-bethpol, were beset with clouds of grasshoppers. At night they could not sleep their guns, their uniforms, and they themselves were covered with masses of these insects, that crept into their nose, mouth, and ears. A region of 15 miles was thickly covered with them, and all the grain and grass were instantly destroyed, Sherman '8 'friends count already on four southern states for him in the republican national convention, but say the patronage of the administration is not to be used to secure them. Nevertheless, without that or direct purchase, he couldn't get a southern vote against Grant or Blaine. No southern republican not holding office or expecting to hold office, is for Sherman.

Nine hundred and ninety nine of every thousand southern republicans are for Grant against the field. Argus. Jackson (Tenn.) difipateh: "We have heard of an individual, calling himself Jesus Christ, who is passing through the country endeavoring to impress the people with the idea of his divinity. He claims to be the husband of a thousand wives and the father of a million children. This peculiar personage is about fifty years of age, and wears his hair and beard very long, reaching down near his waist, giving him a very antique and and oriental aspect." A temperance man who has been making figures, finds that the mortality from yellow fever in this country, for the last ten years, has been about 21,000 while whiskey and stuff like it, has in the same time made 650,000 corpses, or 65,000 a year.

Any one who will look at his figures, which are said to be reliable, can hardly treat his logic with contempt.

The great case that absorbs nearly his whole attention is an imaginary one against parties who had charge of an estate left him by his father. He utterly repud iates chess and denies having known anything about it So much application to that game no doubt was the cause of his insanity. The swimming fever seems, in a measure, to have taken the place of the pedestrian mania. STRAYED.
