IIorrorH of tho situation. A Business Man's Description of What He Sato on a Trip from Cincinnati to New Orleans and Return. A prominent Cincinnati bushes tuan, .who has just roturned from a trip to Now Orleans, describes tho situation as sorrowful .in the extreme The trip down was mado by boat. At Arkansas City tho boat was not allowod to ooal or land. Men stood on tbe bunk with guns iu their hands and cried out: "Damn you, don't you land hero.1' At Memphis, which was readied at that lonely hour when tho shades of night como on, when the gloomy shadows scorn a foreboding of . danger, a most depressing soono was pro sooted. Not a dog, not a mulo, nota negro, could bo soon. Tho houses didn't scorn inhabited; from no obi nm ey did. tho homolike smoko aaoond, indioativo of tho p'lensant housewife oares within; every placo was desortod; all was still. Vicksburg was almost ns bad as Memphis. Terror reigns along tho Mississippi. If tho boat had freight for any town it was taken on to Now Orleans. Tho inhabitants would ory out /"Take it on, we'll pay storago and oxtrn freight." At Now Orleans things looked muoh bettor. Mon woro st work ou tho levoo, business bouses woro oponed, but transacting little or no business. During the day that Captain A. was there, it rained continuously. Even in tho wo?, on Canal -street, thirty or forty women trudged along .'Now Orleans does not woar tho gloom of Memphis. A stranger can como in and not v reoognizo at first, tho presence of tho disenso . not until ho questions somo ono or sees thc funerals. The return trip was mado by rail - About eight started from Now Orleans whioh numbor rapidly inoroasod ns tho .train oamo North. At Grenada nota whito man or woman was visible-only twonty nogroos. Surrounded by hills, lying io a broken and ridgod valloy, a porson would . think tho town protootcd; but QIUB! this is a mistakou idea. At Holly Springs about two hundred got on. Yellow fever had ' broken out tho night boforo and eight out of twelve oases had died. At Humboldt a igood many got on. At Greenville, a towu of about four thousand inhabitants, the fever broko out. Tho first day six died, on tho second sixty. People wcro leaving it in large numbors. Tho scones at tho depots wcro heartrending. Wives, mothers, and sisters leaving husbands, sons sud brothers, kis sing thom perhaps for tho last timo, bid ding thom farowoll perhaps forovor. Some mon will not loavo, they will fight it out or die. At ono plaoo r mother with thrco children got in tho train; her husband had died a half hour ago, and boforo death had mado her promise to leave on tho noxt train. Oh bitter trial! To savo hor lifo and that of her ohildrcn sho loft an uncon fined and unburiod husband; dear to her as lifo itself. GRAPHIC STORY OP A MBMPAIS RKPUOEB.

Thoro aro vory fow houses with liviug pcoplo in thom there now, almost oil dead, and somo of them rotting to pieces in the houses. All tho railroads but thc Little Hook aro run ning their day trains now, but they havo taken off their night trains. People stay iu after dark, becauuo tho night air is too dangerous to bo out in. "I tell you, it was awful to go down town ovory day, and BOC and hoar whut waa going on. Ono day it would bo: 'W?l.l| Hamilton went last night, and I've just hoard Carson lias got tho black vomit.' Then somobody would como along with tho nows of some other acquaintance dying or dead, nnd it seemed as if you oould soo death iu tho air. And tho next day tho first thing you would hoar would bo that tho man you wero talking with tho doy beforo was down with it, and n bad ease. Most of tho dootora stood up nobly to their duty, but thero wero a fow that skulked out almost on the first sign." "Can you give mo tho names of any of the medical gontlomcn who deserted?" "YOB; thoro wore Hrs. Malcolm, Howitt, Henning and Morrison. Dr. Morrison was tho jail physician, and wheo thc fovor broke out thero bo ran away, and Dr. Abor crombie was appointed in his place. In 1873 the worst infeotcd distriot was in tho neighborhood of thu jail, but thoro was no fevor among tho prisoners. This timo wbon it made its apponrauoo thero, the prisoners oonfinod for alight oflonscs wero discharged aud all the other well ones woro taken to President's Island, about four miles down tho rivor. Tho olorgymon of all denomina tious stayodat their posts, and, os they havo no congregations, they have nothing to do but attend tho sick. "I tell you, there aro somo awful siglita in Memphis now. Thoro ore only about thirty-fivo huudrod pooplo thoro now, and something like tbirtcou hundred of thom oro down. You know tho societies havo so much to do that thoy can't hunt out every caso. Pcoplo who want assistance havo to apply to some ono of tho agencies for it, and thero is so muoh ground to bc covered that very ofton tho patient is doad boforc tho dootor oan get thero.

A dootor will go out in tho morning with enough oases on his list to koop him busy all day, so ho hos to rcfuso all appeals. I have soon a dootor with women and ohildron on their knees, beg ging him to como to their husbands and fathers nnd mothers-somo of thom trying to drag him in. When you go into somo of thc houses you soe horrible sights. I'll never forgot ono placol sawon Jefferson street Tho wbolo family-father, mother and seven ohildron-all wero in ono room. Tho father was dead, and his body hung aoross tho bed with his hoad hanging down and tho black vomit sputtered all over tho bod and tho room. Thu mother was dying, und that horriblo blaok vomit-it looks Uko oonoo grounds-was running out of her mouth into tho faco and breast of ono of tho ohildron that loy on tho floor by tho bcd. Ugh! it makes mc siok to think of it. All tho children but one wore down with tho fever, and. they rolled s round on the floor and screamed and groaned so it scorned as if hell had boen moved up on earth. ''Thoro is no telling tho amount of suf fering thoro is thero. Many a man bas been taken wbilo away from homo, and tho poor follow baa crawled into some bolo, where his body has boon found days aftor, twisted out of all shopo, and found only by tho horri blo smOll of tho decaying flesh. A number of houses havo boon broken into, and wholo families havo benn found with tho bodies falling to pieces. Ono of tho most horriblo things that occurred thero was tho death of Mrs. '/onano.

THU DEOANVILLES, NEAR PARIS. Thc Latest Refinements in the Cultivation of the Soil-How Hie Work is Laid Out-A Farm that Pays Bctter*lhan a Gold Mine^-An Example from France for Farmers. PARIS, August 7.-Wo aro not accus tomed to rogard Fraaoo as tho land of agrioultural development. She is rather looked upon as behind tho ago io ali that portains to intelligent oultivation of tho soil. lu traveling through tho country you soo clumsy, old-fashioned ploughs, aooiont harrows, and well worn scythes and sickles; tho modern cultivators, reaping and mowing maoliinos, solf-rakors and thrashing maohinos aro raroly found. This laok of improvement upon tho old timo mothods is partly duo to tho system of dividing tho farms into suoh vory small parools that machino labor would bo impracticable. Whou thero aro a thousand contiguous farms, with an averago aroa for each of loss than ton aoros, it is evident that hand labor alouo oan bo usod in their oultivation, unless ?orno oo- operative ownorship of machinery could bo arranged. Evon then, thero would bo endless disputes and disa greements in its management, and it would bo impossiblo to employ it satisfactorily. Hut besides this difficulty thora is another, fully as important. French peasants and French farmers aro ominontly conservativo. They oro satisfied to go on in tho samo woy that their forefathers hnvo always gone. Even whou couvinocd, by actual observa tion, that botter results oan bo obtained by adopting somo now idon, they rather profor not to mako tho attempt. They say that thoy know what to oxpeot from their old mothods, whereas tho new may promise well at first, and yet afterward dovolop such defects as to bring disaster upon those who have adopted thom. Nevertheless, it is in Franc;, and very noar Paris, too, that I found tho nearest approach t? po ri cot ?on in farming that I hnvo soon in cither Europe or America, and a more interesting illustra tion of scion ti fio agriculture can hardly bo imagined. About twenty miles from Paris, on tho Paris, Lyons and Medi terranean Railway, is Corboll, and tho farm of which I speak is a short three milos distance from tho latter place. Tho farm is oallcd Lo Potit Bourg, and it has tho Hiver Soioo on ooo sido of it and tho rail road on tho other. M. Paul Dcoanvillcs, tho oldest son of tho first proprietor, is tho manager of tho farm, but ho will soon have, the assistance of his throe brothers, who aro uow preparing themselves for their work at tho Polytcohniquo, Ecole Central and Eoolo des Mines. Tho laud is situated on an extensive plateau, and is therefore espe cially suitable to tho stylo of farming pursued by tho lalo M. Armand Deoan vitt?. Tho Chateau Potit Bourg was originally tho ?"osidenoo of Madame dc Pompadour. Whou tho Ly??2 Railway was surveyed, obout thirty yoars ago, tho owneT of thc chateau aud park was so disgusted at tho invasion of his property by tho iron Uorso that ho sold tho ohatcuu to the Uovcrnmont os a silo tor a juvenile roform lohool, aud, after dearing tho park of its timber, ofiorod it on lcaso for farming. M. Armand Dooanvillc, although oduoatod as a lawyor, was anxious to tako a farm, and he soon obtained a lonso of tho whole estate, amounting to about G2? acres. To this ho uldod by loase or purchase of tho surround lng farms whonovcr occasion ofiorod, until now there aro about 1,500 oorcs under tho sontrol of tho family. Tho land being liigh, with insufficient natural water supply in many seasons, M. Dccanvillo eroded pumping works on n largo scale, and laid a network of pipos for artificial irrigation all jver the property. Tho height of tho plateau above tho rivor enabled him to iraip off quickly any surplus rainfall, while my deffoionoy was easily mada good by pumping works. Ho also took advantage >f ovcry improvement in maohinory, intro* .luoing English nod Amcrioan inventions Evhonovor ho could thornby economizo labor. Tho steam plough wau first attempted tiftocn years ugo, but it was not until after thc Exposition of 1867 that ho definitely idoptod it. Ho chose, an English invention whioh is worked by two stationary engines, drawing the plough baokwnrd and forward across tho field. It is very simple, compact and eficotivo, and, considering tho amount if work done, it is not heavy. Thero aro twolvo ploughshares sot crt echelon, co that it has the appearance of a hugo cultivator, in the shape of a right angled triangle, tho ;harpos being sot in tho hypothenouso. Whenever there has boen an exhibition of farm implements in Paris or in any of tho Morlhorn departments, M. Pecan ville has tlways made a point of inviting tho exhibi tors to Lc Petit Hourg to test their machines, ind in this way ho has boon able to select tho machinery best suited to his crops and land. Tho recent groat success of tho MoOoroiio self binding roapor renders it probable that machine will also bo adopted on this model farm. Tho ostato is divided into four separate departments. Tho first includes the farm work propor, tho animals, dairy, and iinploinouts; tho seoond consists of tho best sugar manufactory, tho pump* ing works, and tho gas works; tho third is dovotcd to tho quarry, whioh is, novertho less, ono of thc most profitable of tho four, ainoo a fino quality of grinostoncs aud mill atones is produced; tho fourth includes tho forgos, repair shops, and tho manufactory of freight train oars, of whioh a great many aro usod on tho farm and also sold outsido. Tho manager's ofiioo oommunioates by telegraph with tho quartors of oaoh depart ment overseer, and other wires aro run to different points on tho farm from tho sub offioo. Hinco tho invontion of tho tole - phono M. Paul Dooanvillo has discussed tho desirability of increasing tho numbor of points of telegraphic communication, and it is probablo that telephones will bo plaood in ovory field, so that instant oommunioa tion oan bo had with tho laborers. Hore? toforo a system of signals has boon in uso, but it will doubtless bo HU perse dod by tho tolophono. Tho boot sugar distillery was ono of tho first crooted in Franco, and it lias proved remarkably suooossful. At tho present timo a very largo portion of tho farm is dovotod to boot oultivation. Hops aro also grown oxtensivoly aud with unusual Buoooss. Indeed, lt would be diffioult for any orop tobe a failure. Tho oarth is novor allowed to rest. It is novor fallow? oxoopt for n short poriod after, harvest, wlion it is usod for pasture. Tho steam ?JJ.!..1. JIMUJ-'i J!j!LM?.'JfltM'JL'!J.U'_iil'JJ^L1 ploughs are always at it. No portion is loft waBte. There aro no fonces, no uncul tivated nooks. It is dividod only by oooasioaal draioago ditohes, oud tho crops grow 0I080 up to tho edges. As soon as one orop hos boon harvested and oonvoyod by tho train oars to tho barns, preparations are mado for n no tit or. Fertilizers are thoroughly sproad and turned undor. Other machines break tho ground and prepnro it for now seed, and beforo Mother Earth can feel that ono woight has boon lifted from her bosom, sho is threatened with another. Everything is done system atioally and rapidly, yot without hooto. Every crop is fronted by itsolf io suoh a way that thoro is littlo or nothing left to chanco. If hay is to bo oat, it is oil dono in ono day, whon tho prospoot is lino. If ruin is threatened, an army of workers rapidly place* evory straw under waterproof covore, and DO hann is dono. Agaiu it is as rapidly spread and nllowod to ouro. Then, beforo any injury oan happen to it, it is loaded up, run off to tho weigh yard, baled, strapped and stored, or clso immedi ately sent to bo sold, according to tho stato of tho market. If nightfall sooms to intorforo with tho proper gathering of any orop, oleotrio laotorns arc so plaoed os to light up the field, and tho work goes steadily on. Nature is mado a bond slave If she smiles on tho farmer's lubors, sho is allowed to do SO without interfering; but if sho attempts to overturn his calculations by any of the usual mothods by whioh sho damages crops-storms, drouth, rains, &o. she is mado to stand asido whilo artificial cid is given to them. Is it too dry? Open tho irrigation pipes, aud sprinklo all tho land with refreshing showers morning and evening. Is it too wot? Open t ho drains and boston off tho surplus wator. In au elegantly kopt park, surrounded by flower gardens, stands tho family house. It is ouly ono story in height, and oovcrs a great deal of ground. Thoro is no questioning tho good tasto of tho occupants. Whilo comfort is apparent in evory part, there is no lack of tasteful ornamentation. Thoro is luxuary without profusion, and elegance without waste. Mme. Duoanvillo is said to bo a lady of fino education and accom plishments, and ber house shows her to bo of a relined naturo. It is comfortable without being slipshod, stylish without being stiff. In tho large hall, and in fact all around tho houso, aro numbers of birds. Tho gardens ore miracles of beauty. Aud yet the mistress is no idler for all her aesthetic tastes. Sho is tho manager of thc household, as her husband is thc manager of tho estate; and from all accounts sho is no less successful. Sho attends to all thc household accounts, superintends tho household work, and diroots tho manage ment of tho gardens and poultry yara. Sho has a largo force of sorvauts, both malo and female, solely under her oontrol, and I understand that tho profits of tho poultry yard aro all ceded to her for pin money. At an carly doy I shall pay another visit for tho express purpose of learning tho details of oost and returns in this kind of farming. Two thousand aores baokod by 5JOO,000 and a man of exeoutivo ability and buslnca talent, ought to bc worth more than a gold mine. At any rato, M. Deoait ville has found it FO, ? ought to add that ho has built a modern village bf moro than fifty houses for hie employees with oo-opc rativo stores, ON/.Y A SERVANT.-Because a girl is obliged to carn her brood nnd butter by working in anothor woman's kitchen, it docs not follow that sho io degraded by her oooupatioo. I onoo know a hired girl, fl? tho phrase goes, who, when her work was done-and it was hard work, too-dovolcd herself to tho study of music nnd French. Her mistress, observing Mary's studious hadito, kindly placed tho piano ut her dis posal on certain evenings of evory weok, and finally sho baoamo quito a fair player, and oould road Frouoh with oaso. As a natural consequence, sho married well and roso abovo her lowly station. Sho fairly earned her good fortune. In plaoo of fool ishly runing thc streots sho dovotcd horsparc moments to munie and good roading. Of course suoh girls aro raro-by rare wc moan there aro hundreds of such giris ns Mary, who have ns muoh talent, only they don't cultivate their talonts, beuauso they havo on idea that thoy nro looked down Cn, thereforo abuse what talents thoy do havo -but there aro hundreds of suoh, and they noed not consider themselves drudgos, nor will anybody, if thoy only have a mind to make thoiosolvcs rcspuotod. Tho estima tion in whioh thoy aro hold by others, de ponds upon their opinion of themselves. [ Waverly Magazine. TEAOII THE GIRLS TO HEAD.-Dr. Bon nor, in tho Presbyterian, in n very sensible artiolo on learning toread, says; "As to tho proprioty of girls studying olooution sufficiently to enable thom to road well, none, wo suppose, would deny. This is all that is taught in any of our Southern sohools, and wo are sorry that so little atten tion is paid to it. A woman that cannot road well, or a mon either, is not well edu cated, wo onro not what else thoy mny know, or oan do Thoy ncod to go baok to tho spoiling book and begin again.
