THE Colorado Steam Navigation Con- pany have initiated the use of steam .ill the way between San Francisco and Arizona City, and the first trip was grand success. More freight was offered than could be ac- ccptcd on that trip, but the carrying ca pacity will be made to meet the demand We have seen one freight bill by the steam vessel, showing charge of less than two and one-half cents per pound to Arizona City, and time in transit about twelve days. Merchants and shippers can easily figure up the advantage for themselves.

MARTIN ToUGHEY, the man who dis penses water in town from the spring just above, is most systematically industrious one. From early morning to late at night, he is going with his cart and patient mule Many are the street talks about him and his business. The man, the mule and the cart are each canyassed. Often computa- tions are made on the probable amount of his income, and it is usually put at from Sl0 to S2O per day, and all agree that how ever much or little his income, that he af- lords the cheapest accommodation in Tue son. The cart is allowed to be very fla miliar sight, and the mule improving in appearance. We might easily write col umn on the good-natured speculations about Martin" and his water outfit, but will only say that without exception all wish him well, and don't see how he could make more money unless he increases the price above cent per gallon, because he is always going during the day and much of the night

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Few words TO the ladies.

Many ladies, particularly mothers nurs-
ing, complain Of a tired, listless feeling, or
complete exhaustion, on arising in the
morning. On the wife and mother devolves
the responsibility of regulating the duties
of the household. Her cares are numerous,
and the mental as well as the physical pow
ers are frequently called into requisition.
She often finds her slightest occupation
weary task and existence burden, while
at the same time she has no regular disease.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, if resorted to
at this period viii prove an unfailing
remedy for this annoying lassitude. The
effects of this potent agent are soon seen IN
the rosy cheek and elastic step of the head
of the family, as with restored health and
renewed spirits she takes her accustomed
place in the family circle. If this friend
in need be regularly used, those depressing
symptoms win never he complained Of, and
not only would lassitude not be experienced,
but many diseases following its advent be
avoided. AS medical agent it has no

The PersIau Famiue.

Continued accounts of the horrible suf-
feripgs of the Persian population from
famine show that something must be done
to relieve them, if, indeed it is not too
late already. The Times Of India of
May 13, says:
"The famine in some parts of Persia
is severe beyond comprehension. Rain
vas long hopefully expected, but it came
10 very measured quantity, and too late

died by the wayside oc sheer starvation,
or of starvation coupled with the diseases
it invariably brings in its train. Most
of the dead lie unburied--a fact which
may be regarded as the sure precursor of
pestilence. At first, when self-preserva
ton by any means whatever became a
question to be decided, yea or nay, the
former alternative prevailed with the
Musselmans, and more than one human
being has been said to have been killed
and eaten by them. tits stated that the
sights to be seen, and not 10 be avoided
in the neighborhood of Shirsz, are such
that European residents will not leave
their own houses. Also, beyond Shiraz
snd Bushire, thousands of dead bodies
lie unburied. Amid all these scenes OF

The GoLLADAY DRAwINe.-The
July drawing of GolIaday's Lottery, will
occur at Hickman next Monday. We
believe nearly everybody in this vicinity
have taken more or less chances, and of
course feel consequent interest in the
turn of this wheel of fortune" There
are only few who do not expect to draw
the thousand dollar gold ticket, aud they
have made up their minds to be content
with carriages, pianos, gold watches, ETC.
Our own hope is that all may realize their
expectations. They advertise that the
drawing is to be conducted by disinterest-
ed parties, aud that the tickets will be
drawn by little girls selected by the au-
dience. If the whole affair is managed
and controlled by disin,erested citizens
entirely free from the control of the pro
prietors, we can't see Why it should net be
fair. Nevertheless We would advise no
human being to invest in any kind of lot
terry. 1t is q matter Individuals should
decide for themselves.

TIE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ROAD A
FA1LURE.-It appears that the proposed
Mississippi River Road is total failure.
President Norton requires Dyer county
to subscribe two hundred thousand dol
lars, whereupon the Dyersburg Gazette,
hitherto an enthusiastic supporter of the
road, says.
"The property of Dyersburg is assess
ed at one hundred and sixty thousand
dollars Our citizens will not vote upon
themselves such heavy tax. Two hun
dred thousand dollars cannot be raised
in Dyer county. Hence, the Mississippi
River Railroad is failure. Our people
believe. aud we think justly. that the
little SO mile Paducah and Gulf Rail
road over.estimates its importance and
asks estirely too much for the privilege
of connecting with it. Unless the man
ayers of that road manifest q more liber
al spirit, they might as we'll now abandon
the hope of buying the NJ r Railroad,
owner, McCombs, for a junction with
the Mississippi Central Road, which
many believe was the original purpose of
the Nortons when they sought control of
our road. Dyersburg will not vote fifty
! thousand dollars to the road, payable 10
four years. Dyer county cannot raise
the two hundred thousand dollars.
