The Fire at Louisville.

Last Saturday we published brief tele-
graphic notice of fire which occurred at
Louisville on Friday afternoon, consuming
Owens Hotel. The fire originated in the
drug store of Scott e. Robb, in the Owen
Hotel buildings. This store, with the candy
and fruit store of v. d. Gaetno g. Co., the
house of j. w. Redding, Merchant Tailor,
and Owens Hotel, were entirely destroyed.
The Louisville Hotel was only saved by the
neighboring house falling down. Geatno &,
Co.'s loss is $4,000 with Sl5, 1000 insurance.
The furniture of the Hotel was covered by
$4,000 insurance. The other houses were
insured in great measure. Tn e entire in.
surance was $4,000, which the Cou ier says
far exceeds the loss. A block of houses, five
stories high, is to be erected on the spot.

FATAL AFFRAY.-The Memphis Wing OF
the Cd, learns from gentleman direct from
Benton country, in Tennessee, the particu-
lars of most horrible ard bloody affray, that
occurred at Camden, the county seat of Ben
ton county, on last Friday. Two brothers
by the name of Anderson, were in drunken
frolic, and while in this condition, fell out
with each other, which led to blows. From
this they rushed upon each other with dirks
and knives, cutting each other almost in piec-
es before they were separated. The Older
brother has since died, and the younger
was not expected to live when our informan,
left.

AYERS CHERRY observation-disclosures
the many nostrums that are daily heralded
forth to the public panaceas for nearly all
the ills which afflict humanity, there are, No
doubt, many entirely worthless, and others
that possess all the merit which is claimed
for them. Among this latter class stands
foremost the invaluable family medicine, the
name of which heads this paragraph. This is
no idle puff. We speak knowingly, having
tested its efficacy on several occasions within
the last year, in our own family. At this
season when colds and influenza are SO pre-
valent, We confidently Recommend the free
use of this preparation. 1t will be found
equally efficacious in diseases of throat, and
in all pulm anory affections.

The Administra' ion has replied definitely in
only single case, and in that case the Sec.
rotary of State said, that, inasmuch as the
applicant for protection was not a fully ma

lection could be legitimately extended to him.
This may be very correct doctrine, hut, if it is

Nag fiuttering everywhere and all times owe:
his head, upborn by the gigantic hand OF the

Der OF unredressed outrages upon American
citizens and quasi American citizens on for
eign shores has been greater, -incomparably
greater, during the eleven months of the ex-
istence of this administration than it ever
was IN any previous year or two years or
three years. AOfcourse the impression is be-

universal. that there neverwa time during
any former administration when the rights Of

SO utterly unprotected as they are now.
