Saturday Evening.
How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing from the west,
As ends the weary week of toll,
And comes the day of rest.
Brighro'er the earth the star of eve
Her radient beauty sheds;
And miriad sisters calmly weave,
Their light around our head
Rest. man. from labor rest from sin!
The worlds hard contest close;
The holy hours with God begin
Yield thee to sweet repose.
Bright Ger the earth the merning ray
Its sacred lights will cast
FAIR emblem Of the glorious day
That evermore shall rest,

Downfall of Buildings In Memphis.

There must be something radically wrong or
recklessly criminal in modern architecture at least
in this country, unless can attribute the acct
dents ny falling walls that are continually taking
place altogether to the haste and carelessness with
which buildings are too often erected. Within less
than three days after the awful disaster at Law
renee, Massachusetts, which has sent thrill of
horror throughout the whole country two similar
accidents, on smaller SCALE occur in Memphis.
Tennessee. In the Bulletin of the l4th we read:
At an early hour yesterday morning the founda-
ton walls of the rear portion of Messrs. Forrest
Jones Co.'S negro mart, on Adams street, gave
way, causing the entire building to fall to the
ground, buryng beneath its ruins six valuable
negro men. The portion of the building which
gave way was three stories in hight and separated
by marrow court from the main structure which
escaped injury. Soon after the accident the ruins
took fire, but through the active and perseyerinr
exert0ns of the citizens assisted by the ehaingana
force, which had been dispatched to the scene by
the Mayor, the flames were speedily subdued. and
the Wprk of exhumng the unfortunate negroes
commenced with yigor. 1t required but brief
space of time to remove the bricks and rubbish
beneath which the negroes We're buried when it
was aBcertained that two of them had been Killed
by the accident, two dangerously injured while
the others escaped with some slight bruises and
COMMISSIONS of the body.
. Almost simultaneously with the occurrence of
the above disaster, the walls Of the new building
in course of erection by our negibors of The
Appeal, at the corner Of Union street and Front
alley, also tripped and preciptated the entire
structure to the ground, with the exception Of a
portion of the east wall. The wall on the south
fell upon the roof Of one-story brick adjoining,
in which had been placed portion Of the steam
press and fixtures, recently received by our Ap.
peal friends, crushing to the ground and iniuring
the machinery to a serious extent. At the time Of
the accident three persons were in the main por-
ton Of the building all of whom escaped with the
exception of a carpenter named Malligan who
was buried nearly ten feet beneath the ruins His
cries for assistance, however, were distinctly
heard from without, and active exertions for his
relief at once commenced. These efforts, perseyer
ingy followed up in the midst Of cold and drencl
ing rain, were, ere long, crowned with success and
the uhfortunate-we should say tortunate-man re-
leased from the tomb wherein he had been liter.
ally buried alive. We are pleased to state that
his injuries are very slight and will not incapacitate
him for business for any length of time.
The building in question was Of brick. three sto-
ries in hight, including basement, aud had already
involved an expense to its owners of about $4,000
It was for use as printing establishment, and
was TO have been in readiness early in the coming
month.

DEATH OF Cor. W. D. RoY.-It is our painful
duty this morning to announce the death of our se

yesterday morning, at the hands of Mr. j. D. Shep.
pard i appeared from the testimony at the Cor.
oner's investigation, that as Col. Roy was crossing
the street between Mr.. Tillmans and Messrs. Hard
away Whites, Mr.. Sheppard stepped up and i'm.
mediatey shot him, the ball lodging in the left
breast. just above the heart. Col. Roy drew his
pistol, but was unable to use it; before he could
cock 1t he fell and immediately expired The bis.
tol was found by his side without cap being
Scared or barrel discharged Mr.. Sheppard
gave himself up and was lodged in jail
Mr.. Roy was about So years of age and native
Of Scotland but for nearly all his life resident of
Mississippi, having been brought here when quite
young. He has been widely known as newspa.
per publisher and editor in various portions of The
State.
OF the circumstances attending this sad affair,
the public are probably well aware. 1t was
mere personal affair, growing out Of financial mat
ters connected with the Sun office, of which Mr..
Sheppard had formerly been book-keeper and
cashier.
Mr. Sheppard is the person whom Mr. Roy had
arrested in this city few weeks ago on charge
of embezzlement,

speech at New Bedford, Mass, few evenings ago.
He denounced the Virgnians in round terms. de-

he was put on trial contrary to the customs Of all
civilized people, and that Caleb Gushing in deelar-

damage. We imagine that the remainder of tho

| have lost a favorite dog, which has stra we'd mr.
been stolen from me lately for the cafe return of
which feel a great anxiety. lie followed me TO
the Charleston Convention, since which time |
have been unable to find him. 1 thought possibly
by some means, he might have been carried to the
Baltimore Convention but after a most careful
and diligent search for him there, he could not be
found. The members Of those conventions being
all honorable men, precludos the idea that any Of
them should have stolen him. lie was a beau tiful
dog,-a cross, l believe, between tho Pointer and
the Spaniel his age, perhaps, between three and
four years ; very tall, with a very long slim tail,
and a sharp nose his feet as black rs jet his
legs as white as the purest wool. But what is
most peculiar in regard to his color, is, that the
balance of this charming creature, beginning at
The very tip of his tail running to the point Of his
nose, in the form, and after the manner of a screw,
is marked with narrow stripes OF alternate deep
black and purest white, which gave him a very
%uuustal appearance.
lie will probably be found, il left at liberty,
alons the coasts where gulls abound, es he had a
most remarkable sagacity, as wen as pertinacity
in catching those birds.
l am somewhat afraid he may get into the clut-
ches Of my quondam friend, j. B, (but l must
not call names,) who would s~trabgle him, out of
spite, as he once made some pretensions to the
ownership of tho dog, and l had some difficulty in
getting him away, whereupon he mot the dog)
became my great enemy.
lie may possibly fall into the hands Of some
bad men who will mutilate him, Gs such men do
sometimes mutilate dogs, end this would be on
irreparatie misfortune, as there is no dog like
this ono in this, or perhaps, in any other country,
and the breed would most likely become extinct.
lie looks very knowingly, wags his tail, barks,
comes right up to you and rubs his nose against
you when you call him by his name, which is
'Squatter Sovereignty
Any person or persons returning said dog to
me, or giving information 30 that l can get him
will be handsomely rewarded and receive many
thanks.
As the return of this dog is matter of great
national, as we'll as private importance, the Dem.
ocratic papers throughout the country will please
copy.
P. S. The dog recently exhibited ct Balti'
more by some of the delegates to the rump con-
%vention, and reported to be the one l am now IN
quiring after, turns out to be bogus, and only
painted to resemble, in some small degree, my ia
vorite Squatter, but no more like him than a
dough face is like a human face divine 1 am
afraid that poor Squatter has been foully dealt by.

GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF IT,

In a recent number of the Buglo VI published
the following cxtrac. from a speech made BY Mr..
Wade In the House of Representatives on the Both
of April.
Il have been necessarily away for two months,
and have endeavored to ascertain what The House
was dong. For tho soul OF me, l could find moth
ing but what a~ppeared to be a sort of scrub race
for tie offices Of The Federal Government. Tho
excitement is reused up here for political effect.
1t penetrates through the whole country. With:
out excitement here, there is no excitement in the
country. So far as can judge, we have dbbs
nothing, absolutely nothing, SO far. We are now
doing nothing but waiting to hear Charleston
speak; and | presume We will then have to wait
to hear Chicago speak.
Il will tell my friends of the South that it mat.
tiers not what platform they adopt at Charleston.
Who cares for a platform2 1t is all a scramble
for office, so far as the politics of the country are
concerned. II the people want to put an end to
that scramble. they mist reduce the expenses Of

ton for these controversies for the spoils of Office"
This was touching some of the politicians Oh the
raw-to use a jockey phrase-and occas:oned
considerable wincing. Az explanation seemed
needed, which was accordingly forthcoming;
first, in relation to the circumstances under which
tee speech was made, and second, an explanation
of the speakers meaning.
THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
my old notes, which l had taken for the speech
l should have made, had l not been called away
by the sickness of my wife; were mislaid during
my absence, and l was altogether too much worn
out IN mind and body, to make a speech"
ITS MEANING.
What / intended to say, was: "What party, in
the pride of its power, has hitherto cared for it's
platfOrmH" I intended to ridicule and rebuke this
unprincipled departure from principle of those
parties which have aimed at the perpetuatiou of
their power at the sacrifice Of The principles of
their platform. This is the tendency Of all parties!
and it will do the Republican party no harm to Be
reminded that its obtaining and retaining power
depends, on its open and hearty adhesion to its
glorious principles-that, when it shall abandon
those principles, it will be abandoned by those on
whose adhesion to principle it will be indebted for
its power"
Mr.. Wade was very unfortunate in his choice of
language, for not even a Philadelphia LAWYER
without having been previously advised of the faot
would be able to find such q meaning in the
words he spoke. However, if be meant to say
white, when he said black, we'll and good; but be
must not expect the people to coneede that the
proper Specification of black is white.

Religious Intelligence.

Reriral Services IN Gdlcutta.--A scheme was
lately projected for holding series of morn
ing union praycr-mcctings in the Old Church
Rooms throughout the whole Of the Durga
puja holidays. The series commenced OH the
morning Of the first Of the holidays, the Rev
DR.. Duff presiding on the occasion. The cX-
crcises usually occupy about an hour, and arc
said to be characterized by brcvity, variety,
and concentration on special and important
points. Another distinguishing feature is
that pious laymen Of different denominations
have been called on TO take an nctivc part in
the proceedings.

Backus is pastor. is, we believe, about one

juycd the services Of four ministers, every one
of whom commenced his pastoral life with
that people. and the three that have died also
ended it with them. No pastor has ever left
them for another charge. The ftct is high

pastors.

one if not in two of the chambers.
