| DEATH OF A STORY TELLER.-Captain
G. S. Bell, one of Sherman spies during
the late war, and who had narrative OF
his exploits in around Memphis written
for the New York Ledger, was killed in
lClinton, Dewitt county, Texas, ON the
Eth ults A letter from that place states
lG He was attacked by FIVE men in the
Guadalupe bottom, about two miles
below this place, and is supposed to have
been brutally murdered by them. A
negro living on Whites plantation FIRST
brought the news, and a party, headed
by Jack Haien, our Sheriff, at once pro-
ceeded to the spot, guided by the negro
witness of the deed A bloody trail,
where a heavy body had been dragged,
was found. and upon tracing it up the
party reached the banks of the Guada-
loupe river, over Which the body had
evidently been thrown. nstprning to
the spot where the trail first started,
three other trails were found and traced
by horse tracks aud blood drops for some
distance and lost AysEg 6ne silver
handled navy revolver was found near
the scene of the murder, with C. S.
Bell, Scout, engraved on its handle.
Five barrels Of the pistol had been freshly
discharged Bell was attached to Gen.
.Reynold S staff in Texas. He's not likely
TO tell any more stories.

ARRIVAL OF THE X. E. LEE AND
NATCHEZ AT VICKSBURG.

Minutes Ahead = The Excitement
Here. rfh.i.

The race between the steamers X. L. lie,
and hatcher continues to be the all-absorbinl
topic Of conversation. and as they proceed on
their way up the excitement increases.
The Lee arrived at Vicksburg at :35 d.
yesterday. and the Natchez at 5:53-the Lee
being out "a hours and 80 minutes from New
0rleans-distance 40l miles-and the hatcher
making the run in q hours and s. minutes,
the Lee beating the celebrated run Of the j.
NJ. White in 1874 by 5 hours and 16 minutes
beating the recent trip of the Natchez / hour
and q minutes, and beating the fastest run
ever made-that Of the Princess-29 minutes.
The news Of the departure of these steamers
from points below was telegraghed to Yicks-
burg. causing intense excitement there, and
when they came in sight fully 5000 people had
assembled to witness the race. Their recep-
ton there was like that at points below, the
multitude cheering and waving handkerchief
as they came into port.
The Lee lost four minutes in touching the
wharf for coal fats, and left at $3.50. The
Natchez lost eleven minutes in taking her
coal flats in tow, and left at 6:0i, twenty-five
minutes behind the Lee.
We understand from a gentleman well
posted in the matter that the most exciting
part Of the race will be between Vicksburg
and this port, as both the Lee and the Natehez
will be supplied with light fuel above vicks-
burg by two or three steamers that are now
above the latter place, and that the transfer
of the fuel will be made while under way, SO
that no delay will occur on that account.
We give below an accurate table. showing
the time made by the Lee and Natchez on this
trip, as well as the time made by other steam
ers on former occasions. The table will be
valuable for reference. The celebrated runs
made from 1874 to 1853 were as follows:

the numerous testimonials of its virtues,

leave no doubt that it is safe and re-

mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners

instance where such medicines have been

sit and listen to sweet, harmonious
sounds, whether those sounds be pro-

human voice The more melodious, we
think, is that of two voices in concert
Several had the pleasure, day or two
since of listening to two of the sweetest
voices ever heard; one singing the air,
the other, alto. Who does not love mu-
sic? One must be devoid of every taste,
even without soul, not to love music.

The FAvoRIrE.-In passing through
Court Square last evening, just before
darlS, 1--WE observed quite number Of
ladies and gentlemen--all friends, Of
ourse--assembled together, apparently
engaged in an animated discussion of
some important subject, the precise ma
ture Of which at first we were unable to
ascertain. However, items being some
wha. scarce, our natural curiosity"
prompted us to delay a few moments,
and, il possible, +" see what was up" It
was not long before we observed the en-
tire party moving towards the Main
street gate, We here observed friend
who was fortunate enough to be one Of
the crowd referred to, of whom we in
quired the nature of the ''little excite
ment.'" He informed us that they had
just been debating as to who had the
grandest soda fountain and made the
best soda water in Memphis, On the
question being put to a vote as to which
was the best soda water, it was decided
by a large majority in favor Of that man
ufactured and sold by Mr.. A, B. Morri-
son, druggist, corner of Washingtonand
Main streets. The ladies voted unani-
moasly for Mr.. Morrison's, upon whose
magnificent fountain the whole party
Immediately went to make call" Mr..
Morrison may well feel proud Of the
growing popularity of hisAielightful soda
water, in the manufacture of which he
is now admitted to be without rival.
