The "Abyssinian stretch" has super
seeded the Grecian bend and the kanga-
roo droop among the bellies of fashion.
1t is supposed that this will have a short
run, as the Madagascar hutter," and
the "Fijian sprawl " are waiting to be
adopted.
1t may be interesting to those who
spend so much time and money in max
ing artificial tow-heads of themselves, to
learn that dark hair has overruled the
blonde, and is now the prevailing color
in England. What an overhauling some
poor heads will get after this.
Why are women like churches2 First,
because there is no living without one;
second, because there is many aspire to
them; third, because they are objects of
alteration; and last, but by no means
least, because they have loud clapper
in their upper story.
Nashville has a sensation. A white
woman has arrived in that city from
Ohio with a negro of the blacklist type.
She eloped with him and was married to
him in Nashville. The negroes in Nash
vile are greatly disguised at the poor
taste of their brother Ethiopian, and are
said to be violently opposed to this i'm
portation of Ohio poor white trash.
The Hon. and Rev. James Wentworth
Leigh, son of the first Lord Leigh and
brother of the present baron, was mar
red recently to Miss Francis Butler,
daughter of the late Pierce Butler, Esq,
of Buffers Island, Georgia, and Fanny
Kemble, at st. Thomas church, London.
The brides dress was white silk, almost
covered by Brussels lace hounces, and
the Brussels lace veil. She was given
away by Admiral Turner, of the United
States navy There were seven brides
maids.
General John Love, who has been
meeting with singular success abroad as
agent of the Calling gun, is an old Off
Ger of the United States army, having
been originally appointed a cadet from
South Carolina. After some service in
the dragons he resigned and went into
business with his old army associate,
General Thomas A. Morris, in Indiana.
He served on General Morris staff
during the West Virginia campaigns in
the early part of the war, and subse-
quently as commander of the Indiana
Legion. The British wa Office has just
ordered large number of Calling guns
of small pattern, to be manufactured
with certain notifications and improve
ments of its own, but under General
Loves supervision.

An Insurance Story.

1t is common belief that no man in
Shelby county-certainly not in the city
of Memphis-has escaped the solicita-
tons OF the numerous and interchangeable
life insurance agents. This, like many
other well authenticated stories, is a
fallacy. A well-known insurance agent
of this city, met well-known citizen on
Main street, this forenoon, who had
never been approached by human
being in the shape of an insurance man.
He was so startled and pleased with the
scheme of life policy that he went into
it to the amount of $4,000. The fact
is made more astonishing when the addi-
tional fact is added, that he did not pre-
sent that sickly appearance which gene
rally warns off an agent from approach
ing the insurance subject, in the same
manner that a lighthouse warns off
mariners from sunken rocks or shoals.
An insurance nan can discover a
healthy subject instinctively, and the
only thing unknown to him at first sight
is the financial condition of the custo-
mer, before whose mind the great scroll
of salvation is rolled out, by which he
dies rich and can depart to Hades firmly
convinced that his surviving family is in
a condition not to be despised by wor
shippers of Mammon.

RIVER, BUSINESS, MISCELLANEOUS.

The river is stationary at this point
and at Cairo but is falling slowly at St.
Louis and above. The Ohio is again
declining at Evansville, and is station
airy at Louisville, and rising slowly at
Cincinnati. The Missouri and Illinois
are falling steadily, with but three feet
in the former to Omaha and about thirty
inches to Peoria in the latter White

1t is well-known that paupers are
buried at the expense of the county.
This has become generally known
among the colored brethren who are, in
hundreds of instances, perfectly salts
fed with this patent style of sepulture.
Coroner Moffatt has numerous applica-
tions every day to bury negroes who are
claimed to be destitute by their friends
They are not willing to bury their dead
in a collatitious manner; being wards
of the nation, the county must do
the honors. A few days since an old
negro presented himself at the Coroner
Office and demanded an order for the
burial of his child, being, as he said, un-
able to perform this last rite. Being
somewhat aristocratic, and living on past
recollectioRs of grandeur, he asked the
Coroner to provide two hacks for himself
and family. This was more than the
official could stand, so he ordered the
stylish African to vacate the premises.
To-day another application of similar
character was made and Indignantly re-
fused. 1t seems as if this novel method
has just taken possession of the negro
mind, and the result will be that the
county will have to bury the dead Of a
large portion of the negro population of
this city.

Death Of DIR. Graham.

Some three weeks ago, some of oul
citizens will remember seeing DR.
Graham and wife, who were spending &
day or two with DR.. Ross and family
before leaving for their home in Illinois
About two weeks ago they left this
county for the west, and on their way
stopped with some relatives in Auburn.
Indiana. On Friday last they intended
starting for their home, and had sent
forward their goods. On Thursday
morning about five o'clock the Doctor
had a stroke of apoplexy which par
alyzed his whole body. He suffered in
tensely until five in the evening, when
he died. The next day, Friday, Mr..
VIM. /. Smith of Auburn, an uncle OF
Mrs. Graham, brought the body, accom-
panied by the bereaved wife, to Orrville,
where they arrived on Saturday morn
ing in time for the morning train to
Fredericksburg, the home of Mr.. Thomas
Graham the father of the Doctor. Thus,
on the very day they had set for start
ing for their new home with bright
prospects for long life, the bride of six
weeks returned heart-broken with the
lifeless body of her husband. This is
another instance of how suddenly our
brightest hopes may be crushed. The
Doctor was a man of promise in his
profession, and had two years of prac-
tice in Illinois. Mrs. Graham was
formerly Miss Sarah Hull. of Hayes
