The CAREER OF A ScAMP.-The San
Jose correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Cal gives the annexed account OF
the career of a veritable scamp:
Some time ago there lived In this
place a man by the name Of Brown,
who was we'll known to many people
of the town rs q man of good address
and gentle manners, who gained a liy-
ing in the stsncil-plate business, max
ing his headquarters on the northwest
corner of First and Santa Clara streets.
He was married, and seemed to live
happily with his wife, who Is said to
be n woman of most amiable qualities,
and who had every confidence In the
MAI to whom she had pledged her LIES
devotion. But verify thugs are not
always rs they seem. Brown left his
home one morning, as was his custom,
and instead Of going to his ordinary
business, he got into his wagon and
started out OH a peddling tour, taking
with him In n c~landestine manner a
young girl by the name of Dubois, who
once before attempted to elope with a
Young man who was shot and killed by
her father. Brown and his fair part
ner In his Illicit enterprise did not 60
far together before they were over
taken by officers, who brought them
back to answer for their offenses; but
as the girl went away Of her own Will,
nothing could be dope with Brown ex-
cept to turn him loose again. The girl
was returned to her parents; Brown
went his way, and nothing was heard
of him until a shert time since, when
his wife, who Is living in this city, re-
ceiyed a letter from a man by the name
of Ingham, who lives in San Antonio,
Monterey county. The letter stated
that Brown had come to the residence
Of the writer and Engaged to work,
and during last june, while tho en-
ployer was q few days absent from
home, Brown had eloped with his wife,
and nothing had since been heard OF
the runaways. A photograph OF the
false wife was inclosed In the letter to
the deserted wife, who was requested,
II she should see the face Of the origi-
nal, to communicate with the writer.
Mrs. Brown Is now living in this city
in extreme poverty, with three or four
small children, the legitimate results
of her marriage with tile villain who
has deserted her. Her Oldest boy has
for some time been at work In a plan
ing mill, ut 81 q week, but Is now dis
abied by an accident, In consequence
of which the mother and her little ones
have been reduced to q condition Of
ABSOLUTE want and misery.

TnE ROMANCE OF A DIyoRoE.-Ths.
San Francisco Bulletin Of the 4th has
the following:
A few months since the wife Of a
German living in this city left her
home for Germany, and shortly after
her departure he commenced an action
for divorce In one of the district courts.
She was served with notice by the pub
lication Of summons and as soon as
she received it the ~wife.!started In haste
to return. At London she found her
self ont Of means, but soon her coun-
trymen raised money enough to pay
her passage to New York. In the
meantime the decree for q divorce was
granted to the husband. The vile
came on by railroad and the parties
met. He became convinced that shs
had been traduced by enemies, and
they determined TO plight their faith
again. Accordingly, ten days after
the County Clerk had signed the decree
of divorce for them he wa applied 70
for a marriage license, and they were
duly married.

The Over1on Hotel Elevator.

The new elevator erected by Colonel
S. B. Robbins, of the 0verton, for the ac-
commodation of his guests, was chris
tened last night by the friends of the
popular proprietor. 1t was named the
" S. b. Robins and the prosperity Of
the proprietor was quafied in sparkling
champagne The elevator is moved by
thirty.horse power hosting engine,
patented and manufactured by William
Miller & Co.. Cincinnati, Ohio. The
hosting machinery is intended for the use
ofhotels, warehouses, stores, mills, docks,
etc. The engine is beautiful piece
of workmanship and works like charm.
The box, or car, which conveys the
guests up the perpendicular railway,
elevates passengers from the rotunda to
the fourth story and back in thirty sec
onds. The walls of the cars are of oiled
black walnut, the pannels being of birds
eye maple. The seats are covered with
damask and the floor with Brussels
carpet of rich and tasteful pattern.
Costly mirrors hang on the walls, and
from the center is suspended a handsome
chandelier, with gas-light burners. Hun
dreds of our citizens visited the 0verton
yesterday and took an excursion trip up
and down the railroad. The cost Of this
improvement in bookkeeping is about
$4,000, and the enterprise of Colonel
Robbins cannot be too highly COM
mended The entire machinery was in
spected yesterday by several of our
leading machinists, who pronounced it
to be perfect in all its details and an
elegant specimen of workmanship.

During the progress of $4,000 case
in the Second Chancery Court to-day,
the only persons present in Court we're

in the Chancery Courts, except when
startling divorce case is in progress.
The Nieolson pavement is being laid
down as sidewalks on Main street by
many Of our merchants. 1t costs a little

Why wooden pavement should cost

be answered in satisfactory manner by
every would-be philosopher.
An attachment bill was fled yesterday
in the Second Chancery Court by Mich
olas Etchevarne, attaching the property
and effects of the North American Fire
| Insurance Company, in the hands Of the
State Comptroller, the DeSoto Bank and
the agent, Mr.. H. Tomlinson. The cause
of the attachment is a claim against the
company for loss sustained by the partial
destruction of Etchevarne's dwelling in
Fort Pickering, some days since, during
the fire at the Magnolia Garden.

Load of Duck Shot Into the
Bosom OF Fellow Suffrage
Singer.
The lower Horn Lake road is rapidly
acquiring an unenYiable notoriety as
a shooting ground This morning at
seven o'clock two negroes, Caleb Cobb
and John Brown, engaged in war of
words on the Horn Lake road, two miles
from the city. The bone of contention
was with reference to the rent Of house,
difference Of one dollar being between
the darkies on this important subject.
Cobb, being an irascible Niger, rushed
into his mansion house and seized his
trusty shotgun, which he trailed out to
the scene Of the controversy. After de-
nouncing Brown in unmeasured terms,
he closed the argument in a peroration
wherein his shotgun cut no inconsidera-
BILE figure. He emptied the contents of
one barrel into Browns right shoulder,
shouldered his gun, and made. a right
about face and moved rapidly southwark
toward Nonconnah bottom. Browns
body may yet moulder in the grave as a
consequence. The entire load entered
his body, inhicting severe and dangerous
wounds. He had on heavy overcoat
at the time, fact which probably saved
his life, as the pellets of shot did not
penetrate his body in as satisfactory a
manner to Cobb as it would have done
had Brown not had the overcoat on as a
life-preserver. Cobb escaped, but will
probably be arrested ere long by our
police authorities.

this morning at the Chamber Of Com
merce, at which were present Major Jno
D. Adams, of the Memphis and Arkan-
sas River Packet Company, VIM. Elliott
of the White River Line, Captain Elem
Calvert, of the st. Louis Packet Com
pany, Messrs. Hall, Shock, Harmstad
Hart, Miller, Durf and others--Captain
Calvert was appointed Chairman, and
Mr.. Smith Secretary. After calling the
meeting to order the Chair suggested
that Major Adams explain the object of
the meeting, which he did, urging the
Importance of the selection of such del
egates as would represent the interests
of Memphis, and moved the appoint
ment Of a Committee of FIVE delegates
to the Louisville Convention, which was
carried. The Chair then appointed
Messrs. Jno. D. Elliott, James Lee, jr,,
Chas. B. Church, Joseph Elliott and j.
NJ. Gosley as the delegates.
Captain Harmstad then moved that
the number of delegates be increased to
six, and that the name of Major John
d. Adams be added to the list, which
was also carried. After which the meet
ing adjourned.
1t was suggested at the close Of the
meeting that those present should see
and interview all of the different steam
boatmen during the present week and
obtain their views as to the organization
of an association similar to those re-
Gently organized in Cincinnati, st. Louis
and other cities, which all agreed TO do.
In the meantime copy of the bylaws
and constitution adopted by the associa-
ton at Cincinnati will be procured, and
meeting of captains, clerks pilots, and
all those connected with the river, will
be held at the st. Louis wharf boat, due
notice Of which will be given by the

1t is absolutely necessary that the del
egates elected by the meeting this morn
ing should attend the convention. Two
of them-Messrs. John d. Elliott and
j. W. Gosley-are already at Louisville,
and, with the others, will ably represent
the Memphis interests, and, with the-del-
egates from other cities, secure either a

" Ernestine," Mrs. Oates; Mons. Chon-
aeuri, Mr.. Allen; " Babylos," Mr.. Drew;
