The Memphis Post says: "The
great philosopher, the immortal J. NJ
sometimes meets landlords who bring the
pressure upon him. He tells of one who
gently reminded him that his bill was
three dollars, but out of consideration
of his being "a martyr to the truth
agreed to throw off one-half The i'm
mortal promptly lifted the veil by assu
ring the landlord that be could not be
outdone in generosity, and that lie would
meet him half way and throw off tho
other half, and call the bill square"

From Havana.

A special dispatch to the REPUBLICAN,, bearing
date Of Havana, Dec. 7, states that business Is
dull, and the excitement about the epidemic dis
cases has completely subsided. Speaking OF the
late hurricane at Porto Rico, our correspondent
says that the Inhabitants have not as yet recoy-
cred therefrom. The Inhabitants had hardly re-
covered from the effects OF the disaster, when
still greater calamity came over them. The
shocks Of an earthquake were felt all over the
island, and more particularly In the capital,
where hardly house can be found which Is not
more or less damaged. Tho Inhabitants took
refuge to the country, where they remained with.
out shelter until the danger appeared to be over
An eyewitness says that the sea suddenly re,
treated from the shore, and then rushed uI
again, doing considerable damage to the build.
ings along the beach, and endangering every
house and plantation on the island. No particu.
lars have reached us yet about the late earth
quake at st. Thomas, but the city was com
pletely inundated by the sea, which rose to an
elevation OF co feet, destroying many lives and
great deal of property. The island is said to bt
almost completely deserted.

Tho AlaHm.

The storm OF the past three days has been one
OF unusual severity, and has swept from the sea
board to the Rocky Mountains-from the lakes
to the Gulf OF Mexico. From every portion oil
the country we have Intelligence of its presence
and the eold-in the North and West especially
has been intense. Railway travel has been i'm
peded, and on many roads in the West entirely
suspended in consequence of the heavy drifts OF
snow blocking up the line OF travel. To the
mariner 1t no doubt has proven terrible, as the
wind for twenty-four hours was very high,
equalling the hurricane OF the tropics, and dis
aster and distress we will certainly hear OF ere
long. The duration OF the storm has been some.
what remarkable, and II It is an indication Of
whatwe may expect during the winter, the suf
fering OF the poor on land, and the hardships OF

steb m railroad thirteen vears and 40 far as the
all Objectionable; my objection is this: the charao-
ter OF the houses on Ninth street twenty-five OF
thirty years since was such that the improve
ments 10 be made could not keen pace, in point of
beauty or value, with those on Eighth street; do
not think there have been many houses erected on
Ninth street, there were only about TWO squares OF
houses there twenty five years ago; there were
houses on Eighth street at that time; the house No
65l north Ninth street has eleven feet 'front.' the
fret story is occupied as segar sore IL is located
opposite Melon street, where the switches of the
road are located; stopped at this house to-day 10
see gentleman, and, in the course OF conversa-
tion, was informed that the dwelling and store,
though only eleven feet 'front.' used to rent at
the rate Of Sl4 per month"; IL now brings $25 per
month; the same kind of a house and store on
Eighth or Tenth street would not bring such rent
AS this; my Impression is that, II the depot were
removed from Ninth and Green streets TO Oolum-
ba avenue, II would be at great sacrifice Of time
and money to the large class OF persons who pa
tronize the road at the present time the Union line
of passenger horse and the cars of one OF two
other roads facilitate travel to the present depot 1t
requires n shorter time to reach Germantown by
the steam cars than by the horse cars besides this
the steam trains sometimes bring in at one time
three to four hundred passengers; the horse cars
could not furnish sufficient facilities for such
amount of travel the public would be greatly in
convenienced by such an arrangements thedepre
citation of property in the Twenty second ward
would be enormous and ruinous; about three
tOurths Of the lady passengers get into the horse
cars, but nearly all the male passengers walk from
the depot at Ninth and Green streets 20 their aces
Of business; perhaps twenty per cent Of the gentle
men use the horse cars running from the depot.
BY Mr. Hood-Do you own stock in the steam
railIoa company
a. No, sir; nor do own stock in any railroad
company.
q. Suppose the running Of the cars on Sunday
was stopped, how mucn do you think that would
depIeciate property
A. do not think It would depreciate property
~ the least; am opposed to the cars running on
SUNDAY; my impression is that if you remove the
road that will not necessarily remove the coal
yards, for the coal and stone will have to
Cme down even by horse power.

A. Very difficult 1 suppose the same reason
may be assigned as that in reference to Columbia
avenue, which is not yet opened between Fifth and
Sixth streets.
The investigation here closed. Several petitions,
numerousy signed by the owners, residents, and
business men on Ninth street, in favor of the steam
cars running, as conducting to business, &c, were
presented TO the committee.
Mr.. Hood in adjourning, said the next rleeting
would be held on Wednesday evening at Harris
