WHERE IS MEMPHIS 2-Tbe Mer

WHERE is MEMPHIS ?-The Mem
phis holds~s of property fronting on
on the n Fare getting brighten
ed, a, have some cause for
their fear. All the bluffs on the east
ern side of that river, from Cairo to
New Orleans, are slowly caving in.
Fort Pillow has disappeared, and there
are no remains of the earth-works
thrown up at Randolph, by Gen. Pill
lew. Hillsides have occasionally van
ished in the course 70 a single night.
The only way in which property can
be saved is to direct the Mississippi
current into its old channel. No indi-
vidual property owner, however, see ms
inclined to invest any money in such
an enterprise, and the local authorities
say that it is none Of their business
And, while the interested and disinter-
ested parties remain quieseent in this
interesting state of mutual recrimina-
ton. the Mississippi may be imagined
as advancing with a sort Of calm repac-
ity snatching bluff after bluff away,
ike man catching flies, and threaten
to sweep the cities Of the West into
the Gulf of Mexico.

Brick Pomeroy declares in a card
published at New York, that the
divorce aud alimony of $4,000 given
to his wife by the Milwaukee court,
was solely on the ground OF incompa-
tibiIity of temper, without any imputa-
ton of unchaste conduct on either side.
The parties were married in 1858,
and separated by mutual agreement in
1860; since that time Mrs. Pomeroy
has lived in Milwaukee, having Gus

FRANCE.

1t is reported from Franz fort-on the
Main that in the conference held there
on Saturday, between Count Bismarck
and representatives OF the Frenc
Versailles Government, an agreement
was reached as regards the payment of
the French indemnity, now over due.
In the meantime, if the latest dis
patches may be relied upon, the pros
pect of the restoration of peace and or
der at and around Paris is as unfavora-
bic as ever.
President Theirs has issued a proc
iamation to the people Of Paris, in
which he says the Government will
not lombard the city, but will make
an assault upon the ramparts. He
requests the citizens to rally around
the troops, and promises as return
for their aid the granting OF an amnes
ty and the continuance of the subsidy
10 the poor. Theirs, in his proclama
ton to the people of Paris, says: "The
Germans declare they will mercilessly
resume the war unless the insurrection
is at once suppressed" The procla-
nation closes as follows "Reunite
and open the gates to u.s. The work
Of the cannon will then cease, and
tranquility and abundance will take
its place. We are marching to deliver
you, and will be among you in a few
days. You can aid US.
A great meeting of men over fifty
years took place in the Place Bastile.
Five thousand were present, and
marched to the Louvre and demanded
arms They say they went to show
the young men how to fight. Arms
were promised them.
Prisoners taken are returned if they
refuse to fight for the Commune, the
insurgents being unable to feed useless
mouths.

WOODNAN SPARE THE TREE

IF the last report of the United
States Agricultural Bureau is to be be-
lieved, this country is threatened by
wood famine. We all know how rapid
" the woodlands Of Wisconsin are get
ting cleared of, and that our farmers
are doing nothing comparatively
to make up for the loss of timber
by planting young trees; matter that
the coming generation will have cause
to deeply regret. Over $4,000 acres
of land were stripped of timber in the
United States between 1850 and 1860,
and are now fruitful farms. Aside
from the uses Of wood for fuel, fenc
ing, &C., it ranks az necessity ia
many Of the arts, and in various in
dustrious callings. American oak,
pine aud walnut, make up no small
portion Of our exports, and it is report
ed that certain gun factory in Eu-
rope during the first two years of our
war, used no less than $4,000 walnut
trees, imported from this country, in
making gun stocks, which were return
ed here in shape Of weapons. When
we consider the immense amount Of
timber required for the construction Of
wharves, piers, railways, &c, it becomes
apparent that measures should be adapt
ed, not ouly by individual owners ofland,
but by Legislature, t provide against de-
stluction of forests and for the repair
ing Of necessary loss and waste of tim
Der.
NCHIsEMENT.-We hear a
great cry from time to time about dis
reimbursement in the Southern States.
and many people have been deceived
by 1t. A proper enquiry into the oc-
casion for this bowling shows that it
is nothing more than a political bug
bear. a little stock in trade for our
democratic friends. All the prescribed
persons under all the acts Of Congress
and the States combined would only
amount to few thousand, and would
only include few notorious traitors
whose voting, if they met their just
deserts would have been stopped by
halter.
