Memphis, Tenn, July, 1850,
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,
moral worth and professional requirements,
win compare favorably with the most distin-
guished in our country. The medical faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country-all Of them are abiS lecturers and the
best Of teachers.
Those who viii conteB5iate our geographi-
cal position, and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as to the eligibility Of our
situation for an enterprise Of the kind As
10 health. including all seasons OF the year, we
deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds Of many
stude its relative to the place Of studying med
ieine; those who intend praetieing among the
diseases Of the West and South should GER
tainly educate themselves at a school whose
Faculty are practically acquainted with those
diseases
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency OF this school. we feel it our duty to
state, that the Trustees and Faculty form a
UNIT in action, which augurs well for its future
success; and that the peculiar internal orgnni-
zation which connects them, cannot be Inter
rupted. +. w. NJ KING,

SALE oP PROFESSOR WEBsTER's s
LABoRAToRY.-The various applian-
ces of the late Professor Webster's
Laboratory were sold at auction yes
teTday, by Mr.. Leonard. Among this
extensive assortment were unique
glass ware, electrical machines, air
pumps, batteries, and the thousand
and-one things usually found in a
chemists apartment. A great many
of The things were useless, having
been manufactured for experiments.
The sale lasted two hours, and the
proceeds Of which amounted to some
thing over S500--being about one
third their true value.
The most notable article in the
collection was a magnet, once own
ed by the distinguished Lavoiser,
who, il is well known, was behead-
ed during the great French revolu-
ton. After various fortunes it came
into the possession of Professor
Webster, by whom it was highly
priced.
The magnet was purchased by
Mr.. Francis Alger, Of South Boston,
for the irifling sum OF 1928. We
understand Mr.. Alger would not
dispose of it for 5000. Its rare his
tory gives il a value entirely beyond
any intrinsic virtue.
In this connection we may state
that at the auction of Professor Web
ster's library last week, his name was
erased from all the hooks except one,
and which book is now in the pos
session Of a well-known literary
gentleman Of this city, who has one
Of the largest collections OF auto
graphs of any person in the country,
This book contains the Professors
signature, written in bold and dash
ing manner. It escaped the de.ec-
ton Of the family by one Of the leaves
adhering 10 the cover.
We believe these are the last re-
mains of the unfortunate man which
will come before the public through
a sale.-Boston Bee, 9th.

SATAN.--This old gentleman, al.
though considered rather sharp than
otherwise, has been served some very
acute tricks. Among the rest, we
have heard of a poor cobler who
made a league with him, and after
enjoying every earthly blessing, he
was waited upon al the end of the
term by his birthstone majesty, who
demanded his soul.
The cobler took a sharp knife and
ripping of the sole Of his shoe, threw
it al the feet Of his illustrious guest.
"What does that meant" cried the
latter.
"Look at the contractl'' replied the
cobler.
Satan examined the contract, and
found that the word was spelled Sole,
which Only entitled him to a piece
of leather. He turned on his heel,
and went offscratching his head; and
he has been called aOId Scratch
ever since.

GIVE YOUR CHILDREN SOMETHING
TO Do.-The1 habits Of children prove
that occupation is Of necessity, with
most of them; they love to be busy
about something, however trifing,
still more TO be usefully employed;
with some it is strongly developed
physical necessity, and If not turned
to good account, will be productive
to positive evil, thus verifying the
old adage, that idleness is the moth
er of mischief. Children should be
encouraged, or if indolently disin.
cIined to it should be disciplined into
performing for themselves every lit
tie Office relative TO their dress, which
they are capable of performing; they
should also keep their own clothes
and~other possessions, in neat order,
and letch for themselves whatever
they want; in short. they should learn
to be as independent OF the services
of others as possible.
