A New ADDITION TO OUR NATIONAL
BILL OF FARE.-The committee of ladies
appointed by the Farmers Club OF the
American Institute, among whom was an
eminent medical graduate and the wife
Of the Secretary of the Institute, stated IN
their report that a packet of Sea Moss
Farine, costing twenty-five cents, will
produce, when combined with milk, in
due proportion, full sixteen quarts OF
blanc mango, while a packet OF corn
starch maizena, or farina, costing sixteen
cents, will only produce, with a like
quantity of milk, from four TO six quarts,
thus showing that the new food staple is
actually worth, as means of nourish-
ment about one hundred and fifty per
cent. more than the heretofore popular
preparations from maize and grain. 1t
is also stated that it has none of the
heating properties of ordinary farinace-
GUS food, and is digested and assimilated
with wonderful rapidity. cod

KosKoo.- This medicine IS rapidly

properties, and give a special recon-

RADICAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
SHELBY CouYrY.-We do not know of
any piece of local news that will be of
more interest than to present in full the
Radical Executive Committee Of this
county, headed by Sugar" Hamilton,
who fout9 valiantly on the Confeder-
ate side through the war, to feather his
nest. 1t will be seen with proper inves-
tigation that the ypreponderating infiu-
ence as to numbers is in favor Of the
colored persuasion, and that the "unctu-
GUS Barbour still lends the enchant-
meut Of his august presence and sardonic
grin to the tribunal where his ingenuity
and cussedness may have sway. 1t is
thought his mission to Washington was
to secure a portion of the one hundred
and forty millions surplus set apart
for election purposes, and that it will
be most judiciously distributed under
the vigilant surveillance of the barber, F"
who never 1allS 10 NAVE an eye oiiSic
to his own dominions We find some
of the old co-workers of Barbours along
with him yet-especially Ed. Shaw and
Kennedy, whose rascalities in barter and
sale have been repeatedly exposed. Well,
here is the committee-mark them well,
and see what stuff Radicalism is made
of when such creatures are turned up to
the top-scum that should be skinned
from the body polite and flung away,
lest its corrupting influences should i'm
pregnate the whole. Here is the com
mittee: T. A. Hamilton, Barbour Lewis,
Mark Edwards, white; the colored breth-
rem are: Robert Butcher, Kills Roberts,
Moses Hopkins, Ed. Shaw and W. T.
Kennedy. These are the machinators,
and it behooves every honest man to keep
a good look on his stacks of grain and
his kitchen.

HorELs.--Whilea at Nashville, the other
day, we yereliptroduced tothe comforts,
'luxutiesIan 'elegances, the profuse, nay,
boundless preparations for the enjoy
ment of guests at the Maxwell, hotel
that is second to none in the world. New
York is said to bear off the palm, and
New York cannot boast Of anything SUI
perior to the Maxwell Mr.. Kean, who
built up d grandreputation for the Louis
vile Hotel, opened the Maxwell and
placed it longo interpallo at, the head of
Southern hotels. 1t has recently been
supplied with an elevator, and it is said
some of the Jlaneurs Of the twenty
five thousand Inhabitants of the
capital city delight themselves
with the novel exercise of passing up
and down when. the elevator moves, and
a constant guard has to be kept to pre-
vent them from stealing into those sump-
tuously furnished rooms that look so
luxurious and inviting to repose. They
haven't had such rides since they were
familiar with the broomstick or papa S
walking-stick. We cannot say we have
Maxwell here, but we have the next
thing-the Overton, and its accomplished,
liberal and all-seeing landlord, Mr.. Rob
bins. The Overton is universally com
mended by its ha6itues, and with every
reason, for should any one after enjoy
ing its comforts and liberal share of
luxuries, complain of some want, he
would be as fastidious as Sallust who
must have the luxury of new dish to
drown the memory of the sacrifice of his
friend. Then there is the Peabody,
opened with eclat by y. Cockrell Il Sons,
but now in charge of Mr.. Goodloe, which
entertains handsomely, and has its round
of habitues. The stairways have an easy
grade, the walls are wide and high, and
the rooms are large and well-furnished.
The tables are always comfortably sup
piled, and the attendants attentive. We
would want nothing better than the Pea
body, Then, there is the Worsham, the
Commercial, the Central and the South
ern, all comfortable hotels. They feed
and lodge well, and have their regular
boarders, who can find nothing to their
tastes elsewhere. To the bachelor, who
has his chambers, Gaston's is the favor
tie resort, and would reflect the highest
credit on the most magnificent city for
its neatness and general excellence.
His vintage, too, is of the choicest. We
have fine hotels in Memphis, and no
mistake-suficien in themselves for
years to come, and what they may bring
with them. gW

cheapness of the pegged boot. Its construc-

shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely clinched,
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have all the smoOthness and elasticity Of
the sewed boot, and none of the disadvan-
tages attaching te the pegged boot We sell
the pegged boots; thus We furnish you with
something that is indeed economical. We
