There are several blocks Of marble, iron and
mastie-fnished fve-story buildings, erected
for b1lalness purposes, much resembling in
character those on Lake and Clark streets in
Chicago. From the value OF lands in the city
the best residences arc located in what is
called the suburbs. Many Of these are truly
palatial. The gardens, adapted by nature for
tie purpose being covered with towering and
Ehady trecs, ,haTe been tastetully improved and
decorated. In many places I saw 6tatuary,
fountains flowers, costly and beautiful shrub
bery, in many Of them as rode the other day
to EimWood cemetery. IN fact Memphis,
should trade revive, and its secession pTocliy-
itica ba Gained down by proper treatment
from the occupying forces, is fated to become
it is now one Of the most agreeable places Of
residence, in the entire South.

the city, surrounded by business houses, to
park is encompassed by an iron railing, her
natural forest trees, flowers and shrubbery
closely crowded within, and Is furnished with
iron benches for the accommodation Of
loupgers OF both sexes. It is the place Of
rendezvous where the young men of the city
4grse; where the business mAM Tetires with his
friend or customer at MONDAY to talk over the
| transactions Of the day. The square is lighted
! with gas at night. It Is inhabited by squirrels
