Mr.. Barnett Graham, Of this city, aged about

Mr.. Graham was native of Guilford county.
North Carolina, and came to Memphis upwards
Of thirty years ago. He was one Of our Oldest
and most successful merchants, having by close
assiduity to business amassed very handsome
estate. Strict and unremitting attention to
whatever he undertook, was one of his distin-
gushing traits Of character. He was a man Of
perfect probity in all his transactions. Another
trait Of his character was tie encouragement
and support, by substantial acts Of friendship,
Of young men who aceeptably served under
him. lie was not n demonstrative man, either
in bis friendships or in his liberalities; but
those who knew him best esteemed him most,
and counted with most assurance upon him in
the hour Of need. Our business circles have

rEE RADICAL pIsUNIoN MEETING.

The Louisville Courier says: There
were some features lacking in the meet
ing of the Radical disunionists at the
Office of Hon. JAMES SPEED, on Monday,
which no doubt attracted general obser-
walton. But few of the old stand-bys of
the party, those who for years have been
wont to attend every Radical demonstra
ton and take an active interest in the
deliberations, Illuminated Mr.. SPEED s
gathering with their presence Not a
Federal ofiice-holder in the city was pres
ent, and the name Of only one was mem
toned as a delegate to the Philadelphia
Convention, and that was Of the gentle
man who recently had intimation that
his services as surveyor of customs would
be dispensed with. Some one has wisely
remarked that office holders never die or
resign; and their proverbial tenacity for
position is well illustrated by the action
of the Louisville office-holders 1t is
generally believed that the SPEED move
nent has the sympathy of all of them;
but they feel it to be their interest TO be
mum at least for the present But this
policy will not save them. They will
have to come out fairly and squarely and
openly for ANDY JOHNSON and his policy
as against the Radical Jacobins Of Con-
gress, or of will go their heads. The
perfect propriety Of this none can dis
pute, and, as it has to be done, the move
ment cannot be commenced too soon.

After the address, the Mayor presented
the city officials and citizens, which con
tinued for about an hour.
The procession of the party up Broad
way was a magnificent ovation. Every
available space was occupied by the as
sembled thousands. Bouquets were show
cred down by hundreds The cheers which
greeted General Grant and Admiral Far
ragut were especially noticeable.
Arrived at Delmonico's, the party re-
viewed the division of troops The Pres
ident was called on for speech, but de-
clined to make one, saying none was
needed after the demonstrations which
had been made to-day. | leave the Con-
stitution and Union in your hands. !.
The party was afterward entertained
at dinner by few privileged citizens,
which was continued until a late hour of
the night.
The party leaves at an early hour for

COLORED STARCH.

A late English invention Of colored
starch is one Of the greatest novelties in
the London fashionable world. Several
colors are already produced, and the in
vention is being extended to others.
Any article starched with this prepare
ton is completely eolored by it, but as
the dye readily washes out, the garment
that was pink today may be made green
tomorrow, and so on. This starch is Of
great use for those bright but treacherous-
" eolored muslins that are very costly,
but. as their colors wash out, continually
perplex their owners. If the pattern has
been green, starch Of that color is used,
and the green remains, and the same is
true of any other color To have the
means always at hand, not only Of keep
ing colors fast, but also of varying them
day by day, must be invaluable to ladies'.

STEAM TO AUSTRALIA.

A new steamship line from Australia
tothe United States has just been opened.
The pioneer vessel of this liue, the
steamer Kaikoura left New South Wales
on the 26th of June, and arrived at Pan
ANA on the 23d of July. Her mails and
passengers being at once transported
across the Isthmus, they were embarked
on the steamer Henry Chauncey, and
arrived in New York on July 3lst, the
entire passage occupying but thirty.five
days. We are thus placed in much closer
communication with the great Australian
Archipelago than has been hitherto the
case, and as the line promises to pay, it
will soon become a permanent institu-
ton. As England, by this new route, is
put within forty or foriy-fve days com
munication with her colonies in the South
Pacific, its great advantage to her is at
once evident.
