"A misunderstanding occurred in
Hicks beer saloon, on Adams street,
NNGANAAlGAFH bNAHNNA ALNA NkAAAAAo dAAAA
Corey Walters, proprietor of the St,
Nicholas restaurant. Walters was Sc
verely cut with a beer glass in the
hands Of Collins, and his wounds are
said to be quite painful. Collins is a
stranger, and halls from Cincinnati.
The balloon ascensiOns, from the
corner of Second and Adams streets,
created no little excitement, and drew
an immense crowd, yesterday after
noon. Several of our citizens went up
TO take a bird's-eye view of Memphis
and the surrounding country, and all
were much pleased. Our Insurance
friend, Nourse, took a trip, though not
as lengthy as his first one, which was
made famous by the adventures OF
Britton's dog and a parachute. The
ascensiOns were kept up, we learn,
well into the night.
Gov. Clayton, of Arkansas, and
R. c. Brinkley, Esq, had a cOnsulta-
ton on Tuesday at the Overton in
reference to certain bonds amounting
to Sl25,00 voted by the State of Ar
kansas to the Memphis and Little
Rock Railroad, but which have been
withheld from the road for some rea-
son by the State authorities. Gov.
Clayton assured Mr.. Brinkley that
the bonds should be turned over to
the road Immediately. This will be
good news to the friends of the road,
and will insure the prosecution of
work upon it with renewed energy.
How a man in the full exercise of
his mental faculties could, in the face
of such a day rs yesterday, fill him
self up TO the eyes with whisky is
beyond our comprehension. But
John Callahan didn't care a snuff for
the heat, not he; "You blaze away
old Sol, I'll have my tod natheless!"
says Johnny. And he tOddied away
until he was ready to take fire, and
was saved from the sad fate of spOn-
taneOus combustion by being con-
veyed on a shutter to the cool grottos
Of the Second District Station. He
will pay for the attention this after
noon, if the Commissioner knows
hisself, and we think he do.
The State Lunatic Asylum at
Nashville has already thrown open
its portals to receive two u~nfortunates
who were foolish enough to attempt a
solution of the Smith-RaZI embroglio.
The last drop in their cup of af1iction
was from a glance at Smiths big bum
die Of play bills, etc, that Smith Tugs
about with him as certificates of his
standing in the PHILIPPINE Islands
some dozens OF years agone. The
SchleSwig-H Olstem question was a cal
culation IN simple addition to this
6mith-RazZi affair. We shall not at
tempt to throw any light upon it.
Suffice it to say that Smith is the top
dog in the fight now, Razzi being
locked up in the First District station
on a charge Of being very drunk and
extremely di5orderly.
