The Memphis Ledger has the following
item concerning the discoveries on the
wreck of the steamer w. R. Arthur:
Coroner Motfatt held an inquest on the
body of a man found at the wreck OF the
steamer Arthur. The remains were found
imbedded in the sand on the boiler deck.
Strange as it may appear, the body was in
a perfect state of preservation when dug
out of the sand by the divers. The captain
of the Submarine believes that number OF
bodies will be found ON the lower deck and
in the sand around the wreck. Several
hogsheads of white crushed sugar were
taken up yesterday, having been found deep
down in the mud and sand on the boiler
deck. Although the sugar had been seven
months under water, the damage done to 1t
seems to be of tritiing character. In a
few days the divers will be able to reach
the drowned bodies believed to be covered
up on the decks of the Inflated boat. The
wreck, down below, is said to present a
frightful appearance. Everything seems
to have been blown to atoms at the time OF
the explosion.

correspondent of the New York Com
merciot, in letter from Saratoga giving
the incidents of one of the races there last
week, says:
To the extreme left of the pavilion, dur
ing the race, modestly sat Mrs. John Nor
rissey with her face all aglow with excite
ment. Tammany, Oysterman and Julius
were swaying forward and backward in the
race.

State Senator to Mrs. Morrissey, while he
swung his hat Justify in the air.

won dozen gloves on Oysterman. The re-
ply was satire boiled down, and the little
group laughed a hearty applause.

Attempted Assassination.

The Monroe MteHigeneer of the nineteenth
instant says:
On Thursday evening last, as Mr.. J. II
Dinkgrave was proceeding home from the
Postotfice, a most dastardly attempt OF
assassination was made upon him. When
opposite the old ferry landing, some one
sprang at him, and before he could prevent
it, cut at him twice with a knife; at the first
attempt he cut through his clothing, barely
escaping the skin, and the second missing
him entirely. Mr. Dinkgrave Immediately
drew a revolver, and after swapping the
same, fired at the retreating assassin, who
succeeded in making his escape down the
river bank without being hurt.
No reason can be assigned for the base
act. We are sorry to say that no trace OF
the assassin has been discovered, as justice
should be melted out to its full extent tC
any one who should be guilty Of such con

A paper with the above deeply significant

concerning myself:
That he is out of money, we have a

There is food for thought in an observa,
ton recently made by an intellectual ana
practical Scotchman, who has been residing
in Washington for some years, studying our
political institutions and the workings Oh
our administrative machinery. He says, as
the result of his experience, that he found a
great deal of corruption and incapaelty
among functiOnaries who are elected TO
their places, such as Congressman, While ne
found that the thousands of functlonarles
in all the departments who are appointed TO
their places, were uniformly men OF honesty
and ability, faithful to their duties. Inns
remark is worth thinking over for few
hours

BUCK SAM-This notorious character
and terror to quiet people was willing to
trv some of his old bravado last night on
Dryades street, defying everything and
everybody, was taken to prison for disturb
ing the peace. The officers who arrested
him we're compelled to use all their force,
as he resisted stoutly. Arriving at the
first precinct stationhouse he cooled OF,
although he kept up heavy thinking. he
was like the bull that tried to buck a
locomotive off the track-after the I'M
pleasantness he looked somewhat dis
couraged.

A New York dispatch saws:

A list of citizens worth over 500 900 each
has been made up from the census returns
of last year, and is remarkable from the
fact that many of the wealthiest New York
ers do not appear in it at ALL indicating that
they made no returns. Not one of the
Astors is mentioned. Alexander 7. Stewart
is put down at $2000,000, while Daniel
Drew is represented to be worth S37 ,OOO, 600.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, probably the richest
man in America now, is reported penniless.
