result in a duel We hope the friends of

SEVERAL MIssEs.--In rambling with
our friend Webster yesterday evening
we came across bevy of misses, to
whom we will introduce the reader
Miss Demeanor is said TO be of at least a
doubtful character, and is often seen at
the Police Court. II is best not TO form
any acquaintance with her. Miss Cellany
is very intelligent and interesting lady,
and is much in favor with editors. She
is frequently noticedb the newspapers.
Miss Anthropylis a peevish old spnsier,
exceedingly modest aud reserved Miss
Trust is Of Il jealous disposition, and
rather troublesome; in fact, almost as
bad as her cousin, Miss Construe who
gives lovers so much trouble Miss
Construction is much in favor with sec
tarians she is morally serious, and sup
posed to be well disposed. Miss For
tune, although honest and amiable, is
much dreaded and Stunned by young
and old She is rather hayward, how
ever, and often intrudes where she is not
welcome. Miss Nomer. often renders
important aid to the legal profession,
and her company is sought by gentlemen
of the law Miss Rule is great poll
ticianess and has been very busy lately
presiding alternately with her relative,
Miss Chief over the doings of Congress
and the Tennessee Legislature. Miss
Becoming is bad looking young lady
with good heart, who dresses in the
fashion Miss Reckon receives the att
tention Of many young gents who drive
fast horses and live gay on small sala-
ries Miss Pronounce is a young lady
very popular with foreigners. Miss Tress
is lady of considerable notoriety, and
highly in favor with nearly all the male
population of our city.

was lying, surrounded by many persons
He was walking coolly away as if moth

relied shotgun ondlis shoulder, but was
soon stopped by couple of policemen
who laid heavy hands on his shoulders.
He was Immediately surrounded by an
excited crowd, that were soon joined by
another party advancing with the body
Of his victim. On examination we found
that his victim had been shot through the
head, death being almost instantaneous,
his only offense being that he had taken
position in Court Square, which, we
we're informed, was no place for an oiol,
and therefore the keeper had requested
the gentleman to shoot him.

DR. Virchow, one of the most eminent
Professors in the Berlin University Med
zeal Faculty, who examined DIR. Barth,
the distinguished African traveller, after
death, says he was killed by the careless
ness Of his physician, whom he called in
to relieve a trilling attack of dyspepsia,
to which he was subject after eating
heartily Among other articles of the
prescription was one ordering six grains
of tartar emetic, which in itself was suf-
fcient to kill four persons. If people
would for one moment consider how
easily remedies can be procured, which,
while they are perfectly harmless in
themselves, work marvellous cures, the
cases of poisoning by the carelessness
of physicians would be few indeed Such
a remedy is Roback's Stomach Bitters,

leans to GIL miles, and making New Or
leans accessible in twenty-seven hours
from ST. Louis.
HeSOtUeu, lhal we HeartlIy WelcOtnt
our Memphis friends, and cordially re-
ciprocate their desire to be thus directly

opment of Missouri and ST. Louis.

crate with the railroad movement in
Memphis, and committee of FIVE is

At Pittsburg the river is swelling, with
scant q feet in the channel. The Ka-
nawha is falling, with feet inches in
the channel.
While the Lady Franklin was lying at
Cincinnati last Sunday afternoon a
sharper went aboard, and representing
himself TO be clerk Of the boat, collected
from six or seven deck passengers the
fare to ST Louis, and was progressing
finely till discovered by one of the deck
hands, who reported the proceeding to
the mate. The mate went for him, and
with few CREATIONS of his muscular de-
velopment, left the culprit in state of
acute soreness, with many painful sensa-
tons, and his organs of vision consider
ably blackened. He was reported TO the
police station to receive his reward
A Louisville paper, of the 10th, says
The river was about stationary, or
swelling slowly last evening, with four
feet seven inches water in the canal by
the mark During the previous twenty
four hours it had risen about an inch at
the head Of the falls, and three inches at
Portland
On the falls last evening there we're
thirty-one inches water in the pass down
the Indian chute, aud the river slowly
swelling.
The rains of the past forty-eight hours
have been general all along the Ohio,
with heavy rains at Madison and Cincin-
matt Sunday, which, together with the
very heavy rain here yesterday morning,
will cause an immediate, and, We think,
good rise in the river If it extended
to Pittsburg we look for a coal beat tide.
Capt W. d. Phillips, the well-known
pilot Of the Louisiana, has gone up to
