efforts to save this valuable property, but
not prop or plank was rescued from the
red-hot tongue Of the devouring ele-

the smallpox had to move. Since then
nobody has lived there. No insurance

Memphis burglars al Corindh.

CorinEh must be an enterprising sort
Of place, and Of more importance than
we sup posed from the fact that it has at
tracted the attention Of some Of our
shrswsdest burglars. The last number Of
the News at hand says:
For sometime past our city has been
infested with gang Of bnrglars who
seem to be making Q good thing out OF
our citizens. They are undoubtedly ex-
perts in the profession and old hands in
the business, They evince a knowledge
of their nefarious and dangerous calling,
which, if directed in an honest and USE
full pursuit, would bring them compe-
tence and respect, and make them much
more happy. The gang that have made
our city their rendezvous are, undoubt-
eddy, from Memphis, whom the vigilant
Metropolitans had forced to leave for a
more congenisl fellowship and health
Ter climate. We should not be surprised
to see these fellows carry of come Of our
houses, but the only question with them
is, twill it pay?" and not the practica.
bilty Of the enterprise; we don't be-
lieve it would pay, for there is not q
'feuce" this side of Chicago that would
give half century" for any in the city.
The first indication OF these land
pirates having migrated to this city was
the occasioa of their breaking into the
residence of Mr. Persons, stealing his
pocketbook, containing thirty or forty
| dollars, and leaving the house as quietly
aud orderly as if they we're attending the
funeral obsequies Of their grandmother,
from whom legacy was expected.
| This was followed by series Of ex-
ploits not varying materially from the
first, making one complete failure in
entering the residence ofMr. Small, who
had taken the precauton to sequester
his valuables. The burglars got nothing
| but their pains for their trouble.
These fellows evidently use chloro-
form in their expeditions, as in many
instances the inmates of the houses
robbed have been persons liable to awake
at the slightest noise, but who have
slept soundly while heavy pieces offur-
nture were being moved, chairs upset,
and trunks and drawers broken open.

COckney Assuranee-Amusing Scene
at the White House.

Washington Dispatch to the New York
Herald
An amusing incident occurred during
the visit to the President of the National
Division of the Sons of Temperance.
After the Most Worthy Patriarch of the
Division had inflicted his speech upon
the President, little cockney English
man, by the name of DR.. Lee, stepped
forward and insisted upon speaking for
ell England, after the manner of the
three tailors of Tooley street. The
President, after glancing at him, stood
his ground bravely. The Englishmsn,
losing sight Of the temperance question,
launched out upon the subject upper
most, just now, in the mind of every
Britisher : to-wit, the importance OF
maintaining peace between the two coun-
tries. The cockney expressed great con-
fidence in the liability " of the Presi-
dent He hoped "hamity +" would be
preserved. No honest Hinglishman
wanted a war between "Hiuglsnd and
" Hamerica." He went on in this strain
for some time, everybody in the room
eudeavoriug to keep straight face
The President looked steadily at the
Hoor, never moved muscle of his face,
and seemed much pleased when the little
Britisher concluded,
