We think it to be much regretted that
the Board Of Aldermen did not act upon
the proposition TO create a Health Officer,
at its last meeting. There cannot be q
reasonable doubt that the cholera viii
overspread this country, during this or
the coming year; and it is quite certain,
if tie experience in the past is any guide
in making calculations in the future,
thatits fatality wiz, many given locality,
be largely influenced 10y the clean or
uucLean condition in which that locality
NAV be found al the time OF its vista
non. II IS still more certain that Mem
phts ase5s purifying and cleaning up,
and the sooner the work is commenced,
the better. Whether it shall be
done under the direction Of a Board O;
Health, as in the old times, or Of one
single controlling mind, docs not so much
matter as that it should be done, and that
promptly. Our own Judgment is in favor
Of the one single officer, with salary
enough TO command the best and most
matured medical Intelligence, and with
ample powers vested in him blythe Board
10 carry out promptly whatevermeasures
he may deem necessary 10 the healthiui-
ness Of the city. Whatever Is done
should be done quickly.

FREAKS OF FgRTUNE.-A lady Of thsi
city, of the highest responsibility and
afluence before the war, by one Of the
vicissitudes of dame fortune became sep
arated from her husband duringThe early
days of the Confederacy. For years she
heard nothing of him, and at last the
melancholy conclusion was accepted, that
he was dead. In the meantime She be-
came reduced in circumstances, and at
the time when the Federal troops
occupied the city she was compelled
10 dispose OF her costly and elegant
furniture. This she did, piece by
piece, until the last object which served
to bind her to her former independence
had been sold and she began to despair.
Only a few days ago she received 4 letter
nom a gentleman residing in Missis-
sippi, in which she was informed that
her husband had lately died, leaving a
fortune Of over sixty thousand dollars,
of which she was the only heir. Aeheck
for n thousand dollars accompanied
the ! tier for her immediate wants
and she Immediately took her departure
for the place where her unexpected
fortune awaited her. 1t appears that
her husband, having enlisted in the
was discharged on account of III
ness, and owing to the unsettled state Ct
the country preferred to remain in the
extreme South until the close of the war.
While there ne became engaged in vRri-
Gus sp~eculations, and made largeamounts
Of money, intending TO rei0in his family
rs soon rs peace was declared. He in
MS funds in cotton, and hn1 just
iisy0-cd of il when death closed his |
-arscr. He had written many letters 10
lis wife, but, strange to say, none OF them
reached her; the above letter being the
first information she had been able to OBJ
as to his fate.-Richmoad Times.

Of Aldermen did not, as il was expected
they would, close with the proposition Of

geat deal better for the people. But II
We cannot have street railroads without
them, let the monopolies be Of as short
duration as possible, and every guard
against their abuse that the experience
OF other cities may suggest, be thrown
around them. IN far less than thirty
wears there VIII be room enough for half a
dozen street railroad companies and it
would, it seems TO us, be bad policy to
part with the right of contracting with
them, as the growth and developments Of
Memphis may require the extension of
these very convenient thoroughfares.

EGF On Sunday at Nashville, a dis
turbance arose between a man 10y the
name Of Thomas Gavin and a soldier, in
which the soldier shot Gavin in the arm.
/ Gavin returned the fight, shooting his
antagonist i'm the shoulder. Another
soldier raised his gun 10 shoot Gavin,
when an officer ordered bin to dasist,
which the soldier refused to do. The
officer then shot him iu the left temple,
the ball going through, and out on The
right side.
The difficulty originated, il is said,
from a hgh; between two boys. The two.
toldiers We're carried 20 the hospital. The
first was doing as well as could be ex-
pected late yesterday morning, but the
second was in a dying state.
Mr.. Gavin was taken 10 the military
prison. It is thought that he viii soon
recover from his wound.
Another soldier was shot ia The same
vicinity on Sunday evening.
