Mr.. Edwin E. Overall claims the copyright
of the newspaper title, The South" and
is displeased at its use by a firm Of pub
fishers at New York. Thereupon, the Snm-
NIT (Mississippi) Times illnaturedly COM
ments as follows:
T. Tardrew & Co recently started paper
in New York with the above title. We do
not know whether our erratic and ubidui-
tOus friend. Overall. can make them change
their name or not 1t is true. about year
ago he came down from the North with
printed prospectus of The South, soon to be
established at Oxford, Mississippi A month
or so thereafter he printed the first number
of The South in Memphis, Tennessee, and a
very creditable number it was, but the ef-
forts to produce it seemed to have exhaust
ell his resources, for if his bantling was not
already ''stillborn," nothing was heard of it
for several weeks, when small half sheet
was put out, informing the gasping public
that arrangements were in progress for
Hoes cylindar press to enable the enter
prising publisher to print his vast edition.
We supposed The South, of Overall's be-
getting, had honestly pegged out. like the
Confederate Memorial, A,yus and Crisis, and
the thousand and one other journals which
he has either started or proposed to start.
If the ownership of the names of defunct
newspapers is a source Of wealth, Overall
ought now to be rolling in splendor in a
brown stone mansion in Fifth avenue. in
stead of drawing nOurishment from his in
exhaustible gas-bag.

Drainage.

The Council has had before it some
months an ordinance for the opening of a
ditch or drain on Banks street. in place of
the Canal street drain. Many practical men
have heen consulted on the subject Of the
proper drainage Of the rear of the CITY, and
in order to dispose of that intolerable
nuisance, the Canal street drain. a number
OF citizens urge upon the City Council the
passage OF the ordinance in question. 1t is
embodied III an ordinance offered concerning
drainage
The following reasons are urged why the
Canal street canal should be closed, and a
drain opened on Banks street:
First-Canal street is the main street
from the river to the lake, and its location,
length width and prominence entitle it to
being improved. 1t would form when COW
cred the handsomest walk and drive in the
whole city.
Second-The drainage through that street
is now insufficient, and other outlets mnst
be found.
Third-1n looking for a new outlet there
is no one more suitable than Banks street.
its width allowing the projected ditch better
than any other.
FOurth-No other street. even alongside
canal, can be available for the proposed
outlet.
Fifth-Cpon examination it will be found
that large majority Of property and prop
erty holders, having a direct interest in
Banks avenue, are in favor of this measure,
and opposition made will show this
Sixth-There is hardly any improved
property on Banks street. and the dist ance
between Galvez street and Hogan avenue is
all that is required.
Seventh-This plan is much cheaper and
more certain of eventual success than the
culvert plan, to which many objections are
raised.

A suit for divorce has been brought in the

Dumas, wife Of Robert Gibbs Hobbs, and the
petitioner, after alleging that she brought to
her husband sum over one hundred thou

reasons: He slapped her face little more
than two years after their marriage, took
her by the throat on another occasion, and
at another time throttled her so as to leave
the marks Of his violence on her throat.
Besides this his demeanor has been rude
and unmanDerlv. The plaintiff having been
authorized to tring sr'l. her children were

The first manufacturer of buttons in the
United States was Samuel Williston.
storekeeper-bis eyes having failed him
while studying for the ministry-his wife be-
thought her that she could cover by hand the
wooden buttons of the time. and thus earn
an honest penny. From this the couple adj
vanced in their ambition until they had
perfected machinery for covering buttons,
the first employed for the purpose in the
United States. From this sprang an im-
mense factory, and then others. until
Samuel Williston made half the buttons of
the world. His factories are still running
az Easthampton. coming wealth for the
proprietors, and known to every dealer IN
buttons the world over. He is now between
seventy and eighty years Of age, is worth
s5.000.0OO OF $6000,O00. and has given
100000 to Easthampton for seminary and
for churches. 100000 to South Hadley

The Relief Of CHICAGO,
The Archbishop of New Orleans make
the following appeal:

The Archbishop of New Orleans makes
the following appeal:
ARCHB!sHoPs RESIDENCE, |
New Orleans October II, 1871. :
The unprecedented calamity with which
one OF the most hourishing cities in the
United States has so recently and cruelty
been stricken appeals to the sympathy Of
every noble and generous heart, and those
sympathies ought to assume as substantial
and tangible an expression as the impover-
ished condition to which the South itself is
reduced will permit.
We accordingly recommend, that on the
first Sunday after the receipt of this notice,
all the pastors of our diocese appeal from
the pulpit to the charity of their hocks in
behalf Of SO many poor families lett utterly
destitute by the contagration which has
converted into a heap of smoking ruins the
greatest part of the city Of Chicago.
Those families. homeless and penniless at
the approach of winter, and exposed to all
the rigors of merciless climate, demand
prompt assistance at our hand.
Anv moneys left with the parish priests
will be immediately forwarded to our resi-
dence. whence they will forthwith be trans
lnitted to their proper destination.

According to the Calcasieu Echo, Judge
King has been holding court at Lake
Charles under grave difficulties, if he held
it at all. The Echo says:
Judge King will no doubt arrive in our
town tomorrow evening, and will open
court the following day. We would like to
have squint at his physiogomy when he
steps into the courthouse, and takes look
at the old dilapidated concern, and sees
how uncomfortable it will be to hold court
in such place Of a cold day. We very much
doubt whether he holds any. There is no
chimney, nor any stove, and even if there
was one or the other, it would be utterly
impossible to heat room as open as that
is. The window sash are all broken, ard
the wind can come in from every point of
the compass; and how is it possible for the
judge, lawyers, jury, and others who have
business in court, TO stay in such an un-
comfortable room of cold day without
comfortable fire, is something none of them
will do.
