provided there is no room for extortion
or oppression. Nature has been boun-
tiful with the gift of water, and it should
be cheap luxury here on the Missis-

tomorrow, it will doubtless receive due
consideration, and lead to such action
as is proper in view Of the future inter

Look out for a Dead Beat.

The Nashville Banner says:
A tall, gaunt looking specimen of hu-
mainly calling himself G. II. Wheeler,
appeared in this city day or two ago
as the pretended representative of J. +.
Smith 4 Co., of Peoria, Illinois. In the
interest of merchants he seemed an en-
thusiast. He came here with view, as
he endeavored to persuade his patrons,
of getting up registers for the various
hotels of the city, in which he desired
every merchants card to be placed as
the very best means of advertising their
goods and wares Having insinuated
himself into the confidence of many of
our merchants, he collected from them
the proposed cost Of the advertisements
in advance, and pocketed the. money.
He went TO Marshall 4 Bruce. book
binders, and contracted with the pro-
prietors to do all his binding, and never
again made his appearance. He left the
city shortly afterward for Memphis and
New Orleans, having defrauded various
firms out of FIVE, ten, twenty, fifty and as
high as one hundred dollars each.

a change in the sailing day, even though
thereby the steamers might be enabled

WATER-woRKs.

We my not be able to say anything
new on the subject Of water-works, but
in view Of the probable action Of the
city government tomorrow. it may be
well enough to repeat something already
said. The FIRST statement we have to
make, then, is this. That Memphis needs
water-works no one will dispute any
more than they would an axium of ge-
ometry. The necessity is urgent and is
felt by all classes, rich and poor, not
only in proportion to their material inter
ests, but according to their appreciation
of comfort. cleanliness and health tbs
many years since people began to discuss
the subject, but nothing except an ex-
pensive and perhaps valueless survey
has ever been done. The present city
government, which is administered with
great vigor and asurprising development
of resources, proposes sometime to build
water-works, but owing to accumulated
debts and embarrassments will hardly
claim to be able TO do anything soon.
In the meantime a private company Sc
cures a charter from the Legislature and
proposes to supply the city with water.
This. on its face, seems all right; but
Mayor johnson conceived objections TO
the charter, and the manner il was OBJ

He believed that the death Of such res
olute traitor and spy as Davis at the
right time would have saved scores Of
lives, each of whom had far higher claims
on the humanity of every patriot than
ten thousand such rebels. Mr.. Stanton
never believed in the namby-pamby style
of conducting the war, SO popular at one
period Of the struggle; but rather that
rigor and vigor should be exercised at
time when liberty and the integrity of
the nation were in danger from the armed
assaults of domestic traitors. And as he
believed, so he acted His chief claim
to the gratitude and eternal remembrance
of his countrymen consists in his unshak-
en- adherence to this principle throughout
his administration of the War Depart
ment.

SoMNAMBULIsM.- sM.-Somnambulism is q
very dangerous affection, which it has
hitherto been found extremely difficult
to cure. Professor Pellizzari, of Flor
ence, seems to have hit upon successful
as we'll as curious plan, which simply
consists in winding once or twice round
ones leg on going to bed thin flexible
copper wire, long enough to reach the
floor. Eighteen somnambulisms treated
in this way have been either radically
cured, or temporarily weaned from their
unfortunate in6rmity. The Gazetta Med
lea Venice, which reports the fact, says
that copper wire is known to dissipate
magnetic somnambulism, and that this
circumstance led the professor to have
recourse to this strange remedy.

COMPUTING INTEREST exchange
gives the following rule for computing
interest, which, it says, is so simple and
SO true that every banker, broker, mer-
chant, or clerk, should post it up for ref.
erence. There being no such thing as
fraction in it there is scarcely any liabil-
ity to error or mistake. By no other
arithmetical process can the desired in
formation be obtained by 30 few figures:
Six per cent.-Multiply any given
number of dollars by the number Of
days of interest desired, separate the
right hand figures and divide by sixty;
the result is the true interest on such sum
for such number Of days, at six per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any given
amount by the number of days which it
is desired to ascertain the interest, and
divide by forty-fve and the result will
be the interest Of such amount for tho
time required, at eight per cent.
Ten per cent.-Multiply the Same -
above, and divide by thirty-six, and the
result viii show the rate of ten per cent.
