SAD CAsE.-A respectable man came to
Memphis from New Orleans a few months
ago, and established himself on South
Court street, adjacent to the Gayoso gas
office. His wife was nicely circumstanced,
enjoyed the comforts of well furnished
rooms and an easy life. Being called
away on business, he found it necessary
to absent him self from the city few
days. Those proved days of ruin and
disaster to him. On his return he found
his little home broken up, furniture sold
out, and wife fed to parts unknown. lie

and placed behind iron bars in the Adams
street staton-house. That night, in his
demented rage, he attempted to break hi'

BUSINESS. Take advantage OF modern
facilities, and accomplish as much in a
single day as required months and years
formerly. Use the means within your
reach there is something fer everybody
to do, and place for every one who is
willing to work. Don't depend on your
own lungs alone use the lungs of the
press Treat your customers as your
friends, by serving them in the best
manner, and never let them be deceived
or disappointed. Find recreation in
looking after your business, and your
business will not be neglected in looking
after recreation. Buy fair. and sell fair,
take care of the profits, and be economi-
cal. Should misfortune overtake you,
retrench, work harder, but never fly
the track comfort difficulties with un-
fiinching perseverance should you then
fail, you will be honored ; but shrink,
and you will be despised. The tricky,
deceitful and dishonest are rarely pros
porous, for where confidence is with
drawn, poverty is likely to follow. Rest
satisfied with doing well, and leave
others to talk rs they will. Never speak
boastingly of your business keep your
own counsel about the management OF
your affairs. Be charitable according
to your means. To compete successfully
with a neighbor, participate IN the
facilities to go ahead.

D1AMoNDs.-A leading diamond mer-
chant estimates the value of the known
diamonds in the world at 100000, 600.
He SAYS that there are in the United
States diamonds worth in the market no
less than $40, 200, 900. and that half this
value is represented by the stones owned
in New York city. Many of the gems
worn here by effete politicians, or sold
by them to pawnbrokers after the de,
struction OF the Tammany Ring, are said
to have once belonged to scions of the
noblest houses in Europe; but the pro-
liability is that she greater part are of an
inferior quality, and were bought IN that

something to eat, but that had religious
scruples against helping mysely to that
turkey. l knew that he was prayir
man, a God-fearing man, and L wanted
his advice on the subject. He told me
that it was rather ticklish question in
ethics. There was some risk about 1t,
but so far as the act itself was concerned,
it was perfectly Legitimate. He said you
are your masters property Yes, said /:
That turkey is your masters property
Yes. If you put that turkey into you,
that turkey does not cease to be the
property of your master, but only adds
to the value of the property IN another
form. SO it was simply question OF
removal. | said that it stood to reason,
the whole thing was clear to reason, and

The West Vfr.inia Election.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
The West Virginia election Yesterday passed
of quietly, and there was the largest vote ever
pOlled in the state. II is probable that the new
constitution Is defeated, and Governor Jacob
the independent democratic candidate, re-eIect-
ed over Mr.. Camden, the regular democratic
nominee, but the vote is so close that the result
cannot be claimed for either side with absolute
certainty. The republicans and the democrats
who were for Jacob and against the new consti-
tuition are jubilant, while the regular party
democrats are respondent. In -Greenbrier
county Camden (dem.) has about 400 majority
for Governor and for the new constitution. The
colOred people, with few exceptions voted
solidly against the adoption of the constitution
and fer Jacob, independent, for Governor. In
Wheeling it was thought last night that the in
dependent ticket has majority over the demo-
cratic one. Returns from portions Of Preston
and Hancock counties give heavy majOrities
against the constitution and in favor of the in
dependent candidates for Governor and Con-
