A boy hearing his father say ''twas poor
rule that would not work both ways, said /;
"If father applies this rule about his work,
will test it in my play" So setting up a
row of bricks three or four inches apart. he
tipped over the first, which, stEikibgth the sec
ond, caused it to fall on the third, which over
turned the fourth, aud so on through the
who course, until all the brick lay pros

down his neighbor which stood next to him
i only tipped one. Now viii raise one,
and see if be will raise his neighbor will

He looked in vain to see them rise.
''Here, father said the boy, sis a poor rule

each other down, but viii not raise each

''My son." said the father, 'bricks and
mankind are alike made of clay, active in

FIRE AT IUKA-A special to the Memphis
Appeal of the 7th inst. j, says "About one
o'clock on Sunday morning fire broke out
ia the room Of the hotel occupied by Col.
Leatherman, of Memphis 1t is not known
how 1t originated, but before any of the eff
forts made to suppress it were successful,
the whole building, with all the cottages and
outbuildfngs, was wrapped in flames. The
| FIRE attained the most complete ascendanoy,
/ and burned slowly until noon on Sunday by
which time there was nothing left of the
scene of so much festivity but eharred and
/ smoking remains. The hotel, Outbuild;ngs
and cottages, with furniture and fixtures,
were valued at 100000 We understand
there was Sl5, 600 insurance. This build.
] ing was tut up in I859'by astock company,
of which r. c. Brinkley, Sam Tate, and
Terry & Price, of your city, and Mr.. Mat
thews of Iuka, were the principal members.
Terry & Price, it is said were the sole own
ers when it burned down. Strenuous eff

to no purpose. 1t is hoped that immediate
efforts will be made to rebuild. Col. Leath-
ernan escaped, but, it is thought: lost his
