Most of our city readers will recollect a
real estate dealer named G. w. Phipps, who
once fourished extensively in this city, and
occupied the little frame building just below
our Office. He disappeared suddenly, and
we had lost sight of him, until we saw,
day or two ago, in the Memphis Avolanche,
a notice that he was suspected of abolition
ism. Mr.. Phipps came out the day after,
with certificates that he was "sound on the
goose" and great friend of the peculiar
institution" Whether this was satisfactory
Or not to the fre-eating gentry of that fast
city, we do not know but the Aualanohe
contained subsequently card. stating that
his conduct in business matters had been
such as to render him unworthy the conf

believe that the latter charge is we'll

CoMPoUND1NG FELoN1Es.-Wefrequently
hear of instances in this community of re-
spectacle, law-abiding citizens who have
become sufferers by reason of forgeries and
thefts, compromising the crime with the
offenders, and allowing them to run at large
and continue their depredations upon the
community. This was done in the case of
Grey, the suicide, and it undoubtedly en-
couraged him to continue his operations.
There may be one case in thousand where
a man would be justified in shielding an
offender in this manner, but the motive
should be higher than his own pecuniary
gain. A mans duty to the public should
be considered sometimes.

Der notorious sporting character who came
to this city last fall nan1ed Jim Wright.
In his person and features be bore close
resemblance to John G. Heenan, and was
nicknamed the " Benecia Boy" He spent
several weeks in st. Paul, during which
time he drank freely, patronized the gam

originating and participating in several
free fights. When Wright, alias the
Benicia Boy" left here he visited Spring
field, Illinois, and, we are told, was received
by " Honest Abe" in the most distinguished

his pains. He died the next day.
