But may we not be asked, will this church
of the monument be free to all ? Can
the chaplain of the great Stonewall

in it? Can the grand poet, Father
Ryan, oficiate in IT'D Can monumental
addresses be delivered in it ? As a mon

The Arkansas River Packet Com.
iIeaa paDy.

The fair an liberal proposition made
by the President Of this company has met,
as we expected, prompt response. Ten
thousand dollars were subscribed yester.
day, and more than that sum will doubt
less be taken to-day. Memphis must
control this line to hold and build up
the rich Arkansas trade, and to control
it she must take enough stock to virtu
ally own the line. This trade is at our
very doors, and is becoming more valua.
BILE every year. Other cities see this,
and are bidding heavily against
Memphis for it. There are four
cities against one--New Orleans,
St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati
against little Memphis. They have the
advantage in capital, and, consequently,
in enterprise; but we have the double
advantage of occupying the gateway, as
| it were, to Arkansas, and holding the
trade in our own hands. The question
is will we keep it, or will other cities,
which are running boats in Arkansas
rivers regardless of expense, secure a
share of the rich prize? Our geogrsph-
zeal advantages are great, but not suffi-
cient to keep out dangerous rivals.
The truth is Louisville has ten drum.
mers in Arkansas to-day where
Memphis has one. If this proposition is
not accepted, some other city will, when
we are least expecting it, step in and buy
out the line and ruin our trade But the
merchants of this city are alive to their
interests always when they understand
them, and they will doubtless take all the
stock necessary to secure the control and
permanency of the Arkansas River
Packet Company.

A STRANGE COMPANION.

While making a journey one morn
ing through the Spring street sewer, he
was startled by observing something Of
considerable size some distance head,
and moving toward him. AT first he
could not IN Ike it out; but getting his
lantern to bear well on the object, dis
covered that it was n live hen, who
seemed perfectly at home, and was pick
ing up whatevsT IL could come across TO
eat. He managed to capture it, and has
the identical chicken now at his stables.
How in ever got into the sewer he can
not timagine, but it looked as lift had been
there some time. We could enumerate
many more interesting facts of his life
in the sewers, had we the space in our
columns; but the above is enough to
show that it is no new business to
explore the sewers of our city for liv-
ing. Our informant is now worth over
100000 in real estate alone, all made by
digging through the filth of the sewers
of New York .--Ne,o York Sunday Mer-
