OOrTON BROKEas AND A COTTON

COTTON BROKERG AND A COTTON
MILL.
No single branch Of industry can
make q city permanently prosperous.
Memphis eats cotton, sleeps on cotton,
dreams Of cotton, speculates in cotton,
has cotton on the brain, and when Cd
pOrtunities for its successful manufac-
ture are furnished by the proximity
Of every resource employed In the
business, Memphis still thinks only
OF that narrow margin for profits be-
tween the cost Of production and the
price that may be extOrted from hun
cry cotton spinners. 1t rarely occurs
to these local spectators that the
broadcast difference is between the raw
cotton unginned, uncompressed, and
the OsnabuFgs and thread which ira.
verses a continent and an ocean and
returns to Us with all these superadded
costs for consumption, Is not this
margin Tor profits wider than the mar.

look for nuggets Of gold?

We published some DAYS AGO
a proposition from persons owning a
cotton mill which it is proposed to re-
move TO Memphis. This will not be
done unlessa capital Of four OF five hun
dred thousand dollars be aggregated.
and for the reason that it costs verv
little more to run ten thousand than
five thousand spindles, and experience
ed spinners are unwilling to invest in
a little mill. No more superinten-
dents and costly employees are re-
auired in q large than In a small mill,
and this Is the very reason why cot
ton mills in the South have now aud
then failed to prove profitable. They
cost too much in operation in proper
ton to the amount produced. There
fore, if a cotton milf be Established
here every citizen must become to.

The Boston Fire.

We publish elsewhere the particulars oil
he terrible conAagration which has, in SC
short a space, made terrible desolation ,
of the finest and richest portion of New Eng.
lands largest and wealthiest Metropolis
This blow strikes heavily upon our citi-
ems, united to Boston, as we are, by Sc
many ties Of acquaintance, and by intimate
business relations which have existed ever
since our state was first settled and happy is
he Of our people who has not intimate friends
or relatives, who by this sudden stroke are
crippled, if not paralyzed in their business re-
lations.
There were probably no two cities in the
country 50 largely people with yermonters,
and in whose welfare Vermonters took SO deep
an interest, as in Chicago and Boston 1t
was but the other day that Chicago celebrated
the FIRST anniversary of its appalling conaa.
grafton, aud to-day We are called upon to
mourn similar inaiction upon the other.
And yet, the lesson of Chicago leads us to
take hopeful view of Bostons calamity. The
former experience has taught US how quickly
we recover from these blows. A days ap.
palling loss--a days gloomy reflections
some saddening wrecks smouldering train
Of evils leaving their desolatiDg marks here
aud there after the eyent-but indomitable
courage aud elastic buoyancy in rising from
the ashes, aud building on the ruins the founda-
tions Of a better future. Such are the
American precedents-su the American
spirit. We do not deprecate this calamity
We know it destroys hundred millions oil
property. We are not insensible Of the force
Of the blow under which insurance interests
will reel, and the shock to the general con.
idence which has already suffered so much
But the lesson Of the past is that our won.
derful American energy and vitality will
prove adequate to the exigency, aud that the
ultimate effect of the calamity will not be
measured by the momentary strain. Con.
fdenco aud courage are the needs of the
hour
Almost every largo city in the country held
public meetings at once on receiving intelli.
gence Of the confagratiou-al expressing
the deepest sympathy, and many rendering
material aid. 1t was most fitting that Chi.
cage should take the lead, and 20 nober EN-.
bassy was ever sent than Collyer with the
sl0o,0OO.00 which the city authorities up
propriated at once.

It is O very remarkable fact that out Of

and thiry-nine and Greeley in only two The
two Greeley towns are the smallest towns in
the State-Glastenbur and Brunswick One
is ia the Southwest corner and the other in
the Northeast corner. Another remarkable
fact is, that these two towns have long been
intensely Democratic; so much so that they
were anti-Republican in October, 1861, the
period Of the hottest Indignation of the State
against the rebellion. Mr.. Greeley is well

guessed that their efforts would TOO soon
prove to be fruitless. to the Infirmary,
where after few moments he breathed
his last after muttering few incoherent
sentences. Mr.. Moore, the house-surgeon,
with his assistants were on the spot and
every available appliance that could be
suggested was ready for use, but the poor

MANY of the shots fired entered the bod
les of the animals, and they received
great injuries before they were driven off
their prey. The scene in the menagerie
can only be figured by those who were
present, and cannot be imagined by those
whose better fortune it was to be absent
from the terrible scene. 1t may not be
embarrassing 10 state that the lion "Ty
rant is three and a half years old, and
had been brought up from whelp by Mrs.
Manders. The animal having been ia
vorite, it was, during the early days of its
training, allowed to run about that portion
of the cavern used as a habitation, and it
freely gambolled with its mistress. Anoih-
er popularity is that the sire of this par
ticular animal was the one that nearly
worried Maccome some time ago.
We learn from inquiry at the tnfirmary
that the only arm the deceased had was
streaked with deep gashes from the shout
der to the hand. The scalp was torn right
back, and from the hips to the knees,
where he was seized from behind, the
muscles were completely torn out, leaving
the skin in the condition, as it were, of IN
empty bag. There are pieces of flesh
gone from the ribs. and the bones of the
pelvis, which are the strongest in the HUI
man frame, have had pieces bitten clear
out.
