Our friend DR.. Hoerner, the chemist, 4

Baron Liehig in regard TO the culture of
cotton, that eminent sap0Rt stated that 8
one Of his friends. while travelling in in
terror Africa, found, at a certain place, !
cotton growing Ia "A wild state, of a beau {
tiful staple. and very prolific. Thetrayeler /

In our report yesterday morning of Z
Tainter's remarks before the Board OF
Aldermen, we neglected to mention a y
important, and, ia view OF the recent I,
kilograms from this city to the Associated y
abroad, a very significant fact, stated y
Jy him. Mr.. Fainter AYERS that when he u
,e~legrapbed Mr.. Mahan to make the offer
ii one hundred thousand dollars for the q
Little Rock stock, he also telegraphed the =
iame Instructions TO Mr.. Brinkley, but |"
.'equested the two gentlemen to confer =
With each other before taking action. Mr.. !,
3rinkley's telegram was neUer detiUered y
o him. Mr.. Mdhan, on receiving his dis y
)atch, waited on him, as requested, 70 o.
in regard to them matter, but as Mr.. q
3rinkley had not received his i~nstruc- =,
ions, no concerted action was agreed ~
ion. This accounts for the apparent dis p
repaucy of the statements of SIR. Mahan u
nd Mr.. Brinkley, regarding their CON \.
lection in the bid. Mr. Brinkley has "
ever yet received his telegram. Il
There is not a livery stable in Mem m
that has what would be called a first n,

o demand for them except on Sundays, Ia
nree-fourfhs of their stock standing idle
uring the entire week. This is due 10 10
heir own stupidity and shortsightedness. no
f instead of charging, as they do, five 10
olIars for a horse and buggy for an hours
SO at any time. they would establish a be
sasonable tariff or scale of prices, .charg-

the time for which il Is kept, and da
