Five of the leading Paris publishers are max
ing efforts to secure the copyright of the "Me-
mOiFs Of Taleyrand." which will shortly be
given TO the world, and published in five ian
guages simultaneously.
And now COMES the story that the late Lieut..
Gov Damn and Col. DANES Fisk were members
of a wonderful ordcr--the "Ordo Malta Hero
Solymeque,' which consists of 565 members,
only nineteen Of whom are in America. The
Due de FerSigny and Charles Dickens were
members. Garibaldi, Blanqui, Duke &c Aren-
burg, MOnsIgnieur Merodo, Prof. Morse and
Louis Napoleon are also among the elect. Tue
story is at best queer QUE, and must be taken
for what it is worth.

more than fair TO give our young doctor a
chance. Here goes for DIR. Benjamin; franklin
There were opthalmoscopes aud rhinoscopes

DIR. Benjamin set me down before his one win

perhuman air of sagacty, that felt like one of
those open-brcasted clocks which make no secret
OIL thelr inside arrangements, and almost thought
he could see through me as one sees through
shrimp or lelly-fish. First he looked at the
place inculpated, which had a sort of greenish
brown color, with his naked eye with much
corrugatlon of forehead and fearful concentra-
ton of attention; then through pocket glass
which he carried, Then he drew back a space
for perspective view. Then he made me put
out my tongue and laid slip OF blue paper on
It. which turned red and scared me a little.
Next he took my wrist, but instead of counting
my pulse in the old fashioned way, he fastened

the heights of mountains, say from Mount Tom
up TO Chimborazo aud then down again, and up
again, and so on. In the mean time lie asked

I'd. They have built their road through one Of the
richest portions of the state, where all the old roads into
Chicago are earning $4,000 per mile per annum,
and are paying large and regular dividends.
81. They have built the shortest road 10 the cele
brated Block Coal Mines whose products have large
increasing market in Chicago in the manufacture
of iron, as well as for domestic uses.
9Th. The road is done, web equipped and earning
money, and no argument is required as in most new
enterprises, show that the company IS able to build it.
5h. The portion the road opened for business last
year. earned more than Rtypr cent. ADORE It's 'atere
liabilities.
9Th. The amount of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about Sls.5OD per mile.
It'll. While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those upon
finished lines, certain to pay and so small an
amount. seldom in the market.

Murder at Austin, Miss.

Last Saturday a negro named Sam
johnson was killed by colored brother
n smed John Smith, near Austin, Miss.
Ou.- informant states that Sam Johnson
had ,,ome trouble with his wife, and sus-
pected John Smith as being the cause Of
his domestic Affections. johnson was
driving down the road in a wagon, in
which he had his trusty shotgun, when
he met John Smith in company with his
recalcitrant wife. johnson raised his
gun, aimed it at Smith and pulled trig-
ger; the cap snapped, and Smith closed
in on him. In the struggle Smith cap
tured the gun and fred the other barrel
at his opponent. The load of buckshot
entered his body and produced immedi-
ate death. The homicide made his
escape, leaving the dead body and the
truant widow by the roadside-the cause
and the eifeet--face to face. 81

Temporary Quarters.


Messrs. Cole & Co., who recently had
the misfortune to be visited by the fire
fiend, thereby losing the main portion OF
their extensive stock in paints, oils, etc,
have taken their abode for the accom-
mediation of their many patrons and the
public generally at
258 SECOND STREET, IRVING BLOCK.
They are now receiving an entire new
stock of paints, oils, and window glass,
and will be glad to have their patrons
call and leave their orders at their tenn
porary place, which will receive all
attention and be filed with dispatch.
The burnt store is now undergoing the
necessary repairs, ana Messrs. Cole *
Co. are pushing the work to have it COM
pleted. Due notice will be given when
these repairs are finished, when they
will again occupy the premises. We
would be glad to see Messrs. Cole & Co.
prosper in the future, for their loss in
the recent fire has been of some extent.
They are enterprising, honest gentle
men. Their facilities for selling at low
figures cannot be surpassed by any house

Important Inf0rmntfOm Go DcIin-
quent s-Cnses Set for
Trial Tomorrow.
In the United States Court to-day a
number of cases were called up for
hearing, wherein actions Of ejectment
had been commenced against parties
owing direct taxes to the United States.
In all actions Of ejectment in these
cases, where pleas have not heretofore
been put in, or leave to plead has not
been obtained, the District Attorney
has moved for judgments by default.
From the fact that the tenants and
owners of property believed that they
had two yenrs wherein to redeem it, it is
probable that they suppose no further
legal proceedings would be had in such
cases until the time Of redemption had
expired. There are about one hundred
cases Of this character on the docket,
and the parties interested had better see
and employ counsel and have their IN
terests attended to forthwith, in order to
save additional expenses and costs. To-
morrow the revenue and other cases on
the criminal docket, commencing with
case No. 444, which have been passed
for trial this week, will be peremptorily
called for hearing.
