Tho black rufian that, by the
grace Of Ulysses l.. and fostotIce
Rawlings, now disgraees the POsltio9
of mail agent over the MISSISSIPPI anu
Tennessee Railroad, Is informed thal
the law forbids his making the postal
car a vehicle for the conveyance OF MS
friends. 10 wonder that cash letters
seldom reach their destination when
~imDecunious negroes ride where they
reach out their pickers and stealers
and help themselves.
Nowhere in the world are the
sunsets more indescTibably glorious
than as we behold them, even here,
from the hight on which Memphis
stands. Mists that rise from bound
less swamps beyond the great river
assume as many fantastic shapes and
brilliant hues a those lifted like a veil
from the Mediterranean to enshrOud
with matchless splendors the queenly
citv of Naples. Here, 10 Memphis, a
shadow, paler perhaps, strews its
mantle over interminable Western
wilds; but each parting day IN summer
time, dies like the dolphin, each pang
begetting, as life is gasped away, a
new color; the last still the lOvehest,
till the shadows of night, as those of
death, invest the world in gloom.
There's two sides to every ques-
ton; be bad state of affairs if there
wasn't. The Chinese, as labOrers are
thus endorsed by Mr.. Kelly, an eXpe-
rienced sugar overseer of the Attaka-
pas section of Louisiana. He says
that they can outsteal anything he
ever Jaw. They are ~treacherOus, stub
born and lazy, and he would rather
have one negro on a place than five
Chinese. But he thinks these were
not as good as the average of Chinese
labOrers, and would rank low among
even the cOOlie labor of Cuba. But he
says he never wants another Chinese
Iaborer on a place that he Manages

We know ofnO jaunt more delight
ful and at the same time easier of ac-
cess for our home people, than the tour
of our SWitZerland-the mountains of
East Tennessee, Chief among the at
fractions of this jaunt IS Lookout
Mountain-the Riga of these Alps,
around which cluster 50 many memo
ries proud, grand and glorious, yet
sad, whose name brings trooping back
so many historic recollections of the
time when We of the South we're a
people. From its lofty brow, on any
day of the year the tourist may at one
coup PCpuR take in Chattanooga and
the surrounding battlefields, and look
far into five States, which are spread
beneath and around him like a map.
From some reason unknown to Us, up
to within a few days the hotel on the
mountaiu-the Mountain House
has beeu closed. We are pleased to
learn, however, from a letter from a
correspondent that Dg. 4. /. Ritchey,
a gentleman in every sense OF the
word, and who knows how to keep a
hotel, has taken Il lease upon it, and
although the season is so far advanced
has put it In complete order for the re-
ceptiOn of visitors, and Is now pre-
pared TO entertain any number Of
guests. We understand that numer-
Gus excursion parties are already FORM
ing in the towns of Georgia to visit
"Old Lookout" and hope that one
may be gotten up in Memphis. Car
riages or cOnyeyances are always TO be
obtained at very moderate charge in
Chattanooga To take individuals or
parties up the mountain on the arrival
Of every train. The fare at the hotel
is excellent, and if it were not the
bracing IaOuntain air gives one an ap-
petite that does not rave dainties.
Several Memphians are now sojourn-
ing there, among whom we may men
ton is,Rev.D DIR. Ford. Allspeak in'glOw-
ing terms Of DIR. Ritchey as q land
lord, and cordially recommend the
Mountain House.
