the pressure of the traffic, and unless a

within the next thres succeeding years,
depending somewhat upon the t%rafficover

PERsoNAL.-Hunter or Beeeher, I wants to

and fas in de jale. l only stOled a Ieetle dab

The above is published, not to accom-
modate either Sin base Bill Butler" Hun
ter or Beecher, but at the request of a
worthy officer, (Woods) who had escor-
ted Butler to jail, and then goOd-na-
turedly promised the black thief to in
form his friends of his predicament.
There is a habit INDUCED in, we are
sorry to say, by some of our Memphis
ladies which often causes a man who is in
a hurry a good deal of annoyance and
trouble. We allude to the custom which
obtains among them when walking in
parties of three or more, of %stringing
themselves across the sidewalk and COM
polling gentlemen who wish to pass them
TO take the street or be ungallant enough
to push between them-either alternative
being frequently very disagreeable. VIII
the ladies think of this when they are
prOmenading?
On Sunday afternoon officers Nc
Cune and ConneIl smoked and chunked
colOred William Butler out of the CHM
ney of q house On the old Raleigh road,
some five miles from the city. The anne
sake of the swivel-eyed snapper-up of ev-
erything in sight was wanted by the au-
thoriUies, in reference to the theft of Sl50
from Mr.. August Berton, the Poplar
street confectioner, on election day. Now
here's another chance for some philan-
thropist to have these officers hauled over
the Goals Tor +" torturing" a prisoner.
There is a young gentleman of our ac-
quaintance in this CITY WHO'S experiment
ing with a model of a bycicle velocipede,
whose motive power is impaired by a
heHcal steel spring. He declares that he
can make a vehicle weighing not more
than the ordinary bycicles now in use
around town, and to cost very little more,
which will run five miles without wind
ing, at the rate of twelve miles an hour.
We have examined his model carefully,
and believe that he is not too sanguine of
the results of his invention. As he has
not vet filed his %edUedt, a more particular
description would just now be out of
place.
We have received from JOS. l.. King.
Esq, proprietor of the Montvale EAST
TENNESSEE Springs, a copy of a very neat
pamphlet, setting forth the medicinal
qualities of thsee celebrated Springs, and
a programme of his summer campaign for
1869. Montvale, which has long been a ia
vOrite summer resort of the people of
East Tennessee, is situated at the western
base of the Chilowee mountains, at an ele-
walton of fourteen hundred and fifty feet
above the level of the Gulf of Mexico.
Our readers who wish to spend a few weeks
or months of the coming long and dull
summer, amid the glorious scenery Of East
Tennessee, cannot 60 to a more beautiful
neighborhood. For further particulars see
