1t is sometimes asserted that Mem
phis papers quote cotton too high, and
thus repel Eastern and European buyers,
and Ia Inviting country trade a attract
ing cotton, the producers are disappointed
10 not obtaining prices quoted in the city
papers. The complaint is as often made
by holders that our quotations are toe
low, that we do injustice to the Memphis
market and repel farmers. 1t Is quite
impossible to please both the bulls and
bears in the cotton market, and we shall
content ourselves with giving fscbs
educed from actual transactions each day.
The number of persons who died in
Memphis last week was hfty-two, ten
less than the previous week, OF whom
eleven were black and forty-one white.
Fourteen were infants, IN unusual high
number. Three were over seventy years;
six were between forty and fifty; ten
were between the ages of twenty and
forty: twenty-ssven were males and
twenty-fye females. Owing to the great
difficulty of ascertsining facts, the under
takers are unable in a great number OF
csses to make a record of the complaint.
Among the poor this Is commonly the
case. as they generally die without the
attendance of a physician.
Cartwright q Vesey have dissolved.
The firm is now Cartwright, Morrison q
Co. We have no eulogles to pronounce
upon these gentlemen. They are too we'll
known in this city and its vicinity to re-
auire commentator to public confidence.
We merely make note of the fact, and
hone our readers will not forget that there
is nothing crown or manufactured except
babies, in Kentucky, that is not shipped
by the cargo to b famous Councilman
Cartwright and his associates. VIM. Nor
rison has been a merchant on Front street
many wears, and is distinguished for tact
and energy as his associates in business.
The new 6rm in their excellent business
house, on Towards Row, will certainly
control a vast deal of trade.

The Sisters of Saint Dominic in this
city are making efforts to establish a Hotel
Dieu. There is no want, among the many
commonly spoken of, more keenly felt
than a nice hospital in which those who
have no homes or families could be cared
for during sickness. There is a multitude
of young men and others who would
gladly pay for proper attendance when
sick. A sisters hospital would afford all
the comforts Of home, and even more del
icate attentions than can be had in many
homes. There are two houses on Adams
street spoken of as being very eligible for
the proposed hospital, but the sums asked
are rather h~eavy-S4O,0O0 for one and
$4,000 for the other. The sisters need
some encouragement in the undertaking.
"A laugbable scene took place up on
Main street yesterday. A colOred man
went into the store of Hellblewmyer and
wished to purchase a hat. He was offered
one for six dollars. He had but one dol
lar and fifty cents, which he offered, but
il was not accepted. When he turned to
go out he was called back, and the hat,
wrapped up in a paper, handed to him for
the one dollar and fifty cents. He
swindle; whereupon the store nan hit
him upon the "konk." The darky sought
a policeman and brought him to the store.
Herr Hellblewmyer Immediately cried
out: 81 marches NIT dat niger to de sta
ton haus. He assaults me on the face init
der leg, and points at me NIT der finger"
Both were taken to the station by the po-
liceman, when q forfeiture had to be put
up.
The Echoes, for September Ist, reached
us on time. It is printed by Hite d

rection Of the Lee Academy. Mrs. NJ. A.

culture, and that of her accomplished as
sistant, Miss Sallie EoIa Reneaa, who
like Miss Clara Conway, of the Alabama
street Public Schools, is a most accom-
plished teacher. The Echoes is what its
name pRrports to be, echoes from the
school-room hat convey something more
than mere sound. They bear to the
readers a great deal of that kind of in

most laborious research, and carry upon

From an article headed "Desd and
Alive" in the New York Standard of the
LIST inst, we learn that Colonel Giers, of
Valhermosa Springs, Alabama, has reor-
ganized the Humanitarian Pioneer Asso-
citation of New York. That he has 1900
members, two-thirds of them English
and American farmers, all of whom in
tend settling upon lands TO be purchased
by the association in the South. Mr..
Brinkley, President of the Memphis and
Little Rock railroad, at a recent meeting
of the association, affirmed the South to
be the place to emigrate to. He had sold
TO q company lands at 81 90 per acre for a
colony Of 1000 families, and had agreed to
transport them, with their stock, agricul-
tursl implements and household goods,
70 the place of settleut. This statement
re-sssured those present, and it is now ex-
pected the society will 90 on in career of
unexampled prosperity and usefulness,
managed by honest men.
The trade Of Union street 1ourishes,
and dealers in groceries and plantation
supplies toll steadily from morning till
A. c. Treadwell & Bros, though
occupying No. il, a house nearly double
the width of the largest business estRb-
lishment, and fifty feet deeper than the
most capacious store-rocm on Main or
Front streets, nave hardly space enough
for plantation supplies, heaped up from
the floor to the ceiling through the whole
length OF the broad, deep building.
Bales, packages, and boxes are rolled in
al d doorway, from the river and rail-
ways, and out at another, destined for
farms in all directions, as long as the
sun shines. There is not a buster place

street in front of the APPEAL Office, and
in the very midst of drays, and farmers,
and wagons, and boxes, and bacon, and
bales of bagging, and rope, and iron ties
and now and then a fresh or ancient cot
bale, all mixed in indescribable con-
the Messrs. Treadweli Bros. are
ever engaged till the sun goes down. A

none bought more skillfully or sold more
reasonably by kinder, more affsble, sgree-
able gentlemen.
All of us have listened late in sultry
summer afternoons and evenings to the
notes of Katy Dds. Touch g tree
in which the Katy Did is telling its story,
as told in the appended singular and in
genious verses, and such is it's electric
constituencies that there is instantly the
silence of death. The writer of the follow

Naughty Katie, sauey Katie,
Is your secret aught to me
That you hide it, MOI divide it,
In a tree?
In a tres before the ~trellis,
Where L nave a secret hid,
And provokingly you tell us
Katie did,
