OUR MANNER OF EATING.
In reference to health, our manner
of eating is matter Of great impor-

America" Every thing must 90 Al
the rate of 1.-TWO forty" per minute, AND
in nothing arp they faster than in fast
eating. See q family gather around
the taLle-well spread with nutritious
diet each one will not only com.
mence to "pile" into the food, but
!'pilcn the food into him; considering
his teeth more rs an obstruction than
rs masticators, and in this hasty man
ncr will swallow y hearty meal in q
few minutes, rising from the-to him
laborious--task of eating i'm complete
pcrspiratiqn.
The above is none too strongly de.
picted, especially among business men
during busy seasons. Now, this Is q
gross violation OF the laws Of health
Nothing less than half an hour should
bc occupied in eating meal, The
process, of chewing should he con.
tinucd until the food is completely
masticated, and reduced 10 a PUPPY
consistency before swallowed. Ii
large pieces of food are swallowed tho
juices of the stomach only act upon
the outside, and by this slow proce,.
they frequently begin 10 Torment, OF

sourness OF the stomach. Ne neol
not be astonished that such vast num-
bers Of our people die at such an early
age; when we are continually viola
ting the laws Of health by fast eating
and over gorging the stomach.
Let any family, who are accustomed

Again we reeur to the Memphis races,
because we have the qualification Of
knowing that they will take place, and
no mistake. The indefatigable exertions
Of Capt. Johns !. Lail have been crowned
with the most satisfactory results. In
deed, endowed with those sure harbin-
gers Of success, indomitable energy and
perseverance,, the word "fail" is not to
be found in his vocabulary any more
than "in the bright lexicon Of youth"
Clouds may obscure the sky and cast a
gloom over light hearts and delicate
nerves, but his determination il n
hinching, and he moves to his object with
unabridged effort, and In its sure and
speedy attainment. Awaiting himself
OF the only sunshine we have had for
weeks, he commenced operations at the
track" on Monday, but had to foTego
outdoor labor in consequence Of the
hard and continuous rain, that pre-
eiaded more being done at that timX on
the ground" He has not been AJert
or idle, however. He had already Sc
cured the finest horses, and can now
offer the most attractive purses ever pre-
sented here. In the course of q few days,
at some convenient place of meeting,
the subscribers will be convoked, for the
purpose Of appointing appropriate COM
mittees, and making other necessary
arrangements to provide for open
ing the spring meeting at Memphis
with ecldt. Capt. Lail has already tele-
graphed to the leading sporting papers
OF the east, announcing the fact that the
Memphis races will certainly commence
on the twenty-se6ond of April, and Civ
ing assurance that the purses provided
will vie with the most attractive offered
by the oldest and most approved race
courses in America. He is fully posted
in everything pertaining to the superin-
tendence and management of a race
course, and in his integrity and pop
ul.r manners, every confidence may be
reposed that the conduct Of the races
viii be unexceptionable. {
A JOCKEY CLUB
which has Eeen incorporated, com
prising some of the best and most iniu-
entail citizens Of Memphis and the
surrounding country. will be organ
IL d as soon as practicable, which is
intended to be permanent, to render the
races at this place an established thing,
so that breeders and trainers may make
their arrangements accordingly. 1t is
expected that the organization will be
contaminated in time to be represented
in the turf congress called by the Lac
lede association in st. Louis, on the third
Monday in May. We congratulate Capt.
Lail upon the efficiency with which he
has labOred, and the object he has ac-
complished. No one could have
achieved more-nay, we doubt if any
one has attained so much since the war,
with the odds and impediments with
be has had to contend, but which
he happily has been able to overcome.
The " meeting" will certainly take place
on the 22d of next month, and oar best
go with our friend, the gallant
that all of his hopes and expecta-
may be more than fully realized.

weekly Review.
Owing TO continued bad weather, high
water and damage to our railroads, trade
remains pretty much as we left it q week
400 Until the flood subsidies We cannot
hone for more activity. In the mean
time. our merchants are receiving large
stocks. which, for variety, is unexcelled
anywhere. In dry goods, the importa-
ions this spring will exceed that of any
nravio,Is season. Our merchants are
evidently looking forward to a large de-
manr for goods. and are anticipating the
workings of the new tariff by purchas-
inc early. Our provision market has
not heen active, but it will be seen that
meats have advanced materially. Corn
has also taken an upward movement,
while hay and oats are about the same,
and dull. We. have nov no packets in
the Vicksburg trade, in consequence of
high water. and the loss Of business on
the rivers below, nearly ali of which
was transacted ia market, is quite
seriously felt.
COTTON-The week opened with
middljng At 81 to 27Ae, and continued
with hnf light transactions and very lit
tie variation until Saturday, when prices
became excited, and advanced TO IS tc

An ASSASSINATION.

A Well KnGEn Gambler Killed.
No Clue TO the Guilty Parties.
The Inquest and Verdict.

Not many months since a man named
Conners, a fireman, was fatally shot, on
Adams street, near Second. A young
mar narled Will FergusoA was arrested,
charged with committing the deed, and
gave boLds for his appearance. He had,
however, never been called upon TO an
swer to the charge. Yesterday morning,
between 8 and 4 O'Clock, he, with ayoung
man named Murphy, was going up
Washington street, between Main and
Front, some person fired a shot, which
took effect in the head OF Ferguson
causing his almost immediate death.
His comrade, Murphy, who was a
short distance in advance of Fer
gusoH heard the shot, and found
his partner in the agonies of death.
They had been to q dance on Washington
street. Coroner Cotton held an inquest
on the body this morning, when the
jury returned a verdict finding that the
deceased came to his death from the
effects OF 3 pistol shot fired by some
parties unknown. There is no clue to
the perpetratOr of this bloody deed. We
learn that Ferguson was about twenty
years OF age, and gambied for q liveli-
hood. He is a native of Lswrenceburg,
Indiana, where his parents now reside.
During the wal he was 3 clerk attached
to the quaTtermaster's department Of the
federal army, aud at its close located in
Memphis and became q gambler. The
sad fate Of this young man should be a
warning to others travelling the same
downward path that led him TO take the
life of q fellow man, and a short time
thereafter be sent without a moments
warning into the presence Of his Maker.

at 2Sc. Dispatches were delayed and the
consequence is that both buyer and seller
held of 10 a great extent.
THURsDAY-There was q better feeling
in the market to-day. The advance re-
ported in Liverpool created an active
inquiry here, and caused an advance Of
&c IA all grades. Holders continue firm
and are hard to deal with.
FRIDAY = The inquiry was fair
throughout the day for all grades, and
some good sized lots were sold. Holders
show no disposition to yield to the viewsoi
buyers-stiil firm In the conviction that
better prices will soon be realized.
SATURDAY-The market was actiyeto-
day, and prices advanced to % and pc
for middling, at which figures holders
were very firm. The demand for low
grades Is quite noticeable for the past
few days-buyers for the New Orleans
and Liverpool markets seeking them
almost exclusively. The dispatches from
Liverpool and New York, have ma
terialiy strengthened the views Of
holders as to the ultimate advance in the
staple, and they continue very firm.
MONDAY-The market was not as
active to-day as on Saturday, but there
was a very fair inquiry FOX all grades at
our last quotations. Middling sold at %
to zoe. Affair style Of that grade would
command the outside figure.
To-DAY-Buyers were more liberal In
their views to-day, and a large amount
of the staple changed hands at ar ad-
vance upon yesterdays figures. A
sale Of pa bales, hardly strict middling,
took place at 301c (; another of 100 bales
middling at 294c. The market closed
firm and active at our quotations. The
