This port is noted for many things-for
having been occupied, January, 1913, by
British force, under pretense that it be-
loUged to the so-called Mosquito Kingdom
for its being bombarded and burned by a
naval force of the United States in 1854, on
a charge that it's inhabitants had infringed
the rights of the Transit Company; little

Few capitalists would risk their money in
such an unsettled and revolutionary coun-
try as that has been. Anthony Trollope,
in writing of Greytown dozen years ago,
says: "Of all the places in which l have
ever put my foot, l think this is the most
wretched." But Trollopes seldom speak
we'll of any place. He adds: "The native
population are the Mosquito Indians.
Sundry Americans live here, worshiping
the almighty dollar as Americans can do,
keeping liquor shops and warehouses, and
with these are sundry Englishmen and

NEXT Thursday the voters of Fayette
and Shelby coun.ses are to elect a
Fleaterial Representative. 1t seems to
be universally conceded that Fayette is
entitled to name the Floater, Shelby
being fully and ablyrepresented already
The people Of Fayette have agreed upon
Hon. Z. j. Tucker as the man whom
they will support on the day of election.
We believe Mr.. Tucker will receive the
almost unanimous vote of Fayette
county, and that he will receive heavy
vote in Memphis none will deny. We do
not believe the gentlemen who are can
didates against him stand any chance OF
election in this contest. Mr.. Tucker
represented his county in former Legis-
latures With ability and success. and
will, in the next Legislature. become
prominent member. Believing that
Fayette county is entitled to the Floater,
and believing that Mr.. Tucker will make
good representative, we advocate his
election to the office.

The oldest relic of humanity extant is
the skeleton Of the earliest Pharaoh,
encased in its original burialrobes, aud
wonderfully perfect, considering its age,
which was deposited eighteen or twenty
months ago in the British Museum, and
is justly considered the most valuable OF
its archaeological treasures.
The lid Of the coffin which contained
the royal mummy was inscribed with the
name Of its occupant, Pharaoh Mykeri-
mus, who succeeded the heir Of the
builder of the great pyramid about ten
centuries before Christ. Only think of
III the monarch whose crumbling bones
and leathery integuments are now excit-
ing the wonder of numerous gazers in

mon was born, and only about eleven
centuries or so after Misraim, the grand
son of old father Noah, and the first of
the Pharaohs, had been gathered to his
fathers. Why, the tide-mark Of the
Deluge could scarcely have been oblit-
Grated, or the gopher-wood knee-umbers
OF the ark have rotted on Mount Ararat.

erai Boats Injured.


CINCINNATI, December 3l.-The ICE
gorge gave way at Four Mile island at
O clock this morning, and coming down
crowded the boats in the harbor consid
erably. At G clock it broke the Noun
tain Boy, Messenger and Gray Eagle
loose and carried them down fifty yards
against the whariboats of the Louisville
Mail Line Company, sinking the Noun
tain Boy aud damaging the other two
boats, aud staving in the forward end OF
the middle Nail Line wharfboat.
The Mountain Boy sunk to the boiler
deck at seven o'clock, and is held up by
the ice. She is owned by the Cincinnati
and Chilocothe Packet Company, and is
valued at $4,000; insured against FIRE
only. She is being wrecked.
The Messengers head is crowded be-
tween the Mountain Boy and Gray Eagle,
and had her guards on both sides crushed
in and her larboard cylinder timber
broke, the cylinder cracked and piiman
broke. She was en- ronte to st. Louis
from Pittsburg, and has 500 tons on
board, one hundred of which is way and
the rest for St. Louis and Missouri river.
She is owned by Cox & Son, Of Pitts
burg, valued at $4,000, and insured in
Pttsburg. Her freightis being removed.
The Gray Eagle is owned by the Louis
vile and Henderson Packet Company,
and as yet is but little damaged.
A number of barges have been swept
away.
The ice started again shortly after
seven o'clock, and no further damage
has occurred. All the boats in the har-
Dor have steam up.

No warnings given or precauhon
taken this season have sufliced to pre-
vent frequent fires in all parts of th'
country. The first and most appalling
was at Boston; since then hardly da,
has passed without its considerable fir'
in some part of the country. A futl lis
of these and the losses would Gil seyera
columns of a newspaper. New York hal
been visited by three Of these ca
lamities of very disastrous char

where twenty-five lives were lost
another which destroyed Barnum

which leyeled the Brooklyn Tabernacle,

various lesser confagrations in the same
city. In Memphis here we have had our
full share. Very recently two valuable
residences we're destroyed, and one OF
our finest blocks was only saved in
broad daylight by the uncommon hardl'
hood and hazard of the fire department,
who encountered peculiar difficulties.
These repeated disasters, which may be
expeeted hereafter, indirectly affect all

and TO underwater extremely eau
tious about taking risks. They are bound,
as safe business men, to anticipate
losses, and to shape their policy to meet
such losses. Hence builders, and 9th
ers interested, are discussing the neces-
siiy Of FIRE proof buildings, and the vari-
Gus materials which may be used in the
construction Of fre-proof buildings. The
question, however, arises-whether any
Building can be said to be really fire
proof, since granite blocks and iron
fronts melted down at Boston like wax
work. Bat we cannot throw away the
con bustible buildings on hand, and the
practical question before the people is
what can be done to most etfectu-
ally prevent fires. The only remedy
at hand is an effective fire department,
vigilance GA the part Of tenants and
landlords, and good supply of water.
Cisterns should never be drained TO the
bottom before being filed, nor should
owners of large houses go to sleep with
out being satisfied that competent

World calls attention to the fact that
most of the great fires originate in ware
houses or large storehouses. We have
large blocks in this city occupied by peo-
pie of various pursuits and characters,
which are not guarded by watchman.
Even the so-called County Courthouse,
which recently so narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire, is without Waterman;
and when the gas is turned of at night,
an incendiary could reach any Of the
floors or court-rooms with impunity.
This question, we hope, will be acted
upon by the Quarterly Court which meets
next Monday aud as the members are
men of experience aud judgment, the
public will expect such intelligent action
as the great interests involved may re-
quire.

should be used by every intelligent hu'
nan being in preference TO every other
preparation for the hair, but ten will
suffice. Here they are. Because il

and makes them grow; because it thus
prevents them from whitening and
bleaching; because it removes the scuri
and dandruff which choke them as tares
choke the golden grain; because it keeps
the scalp cool and prevents eruptiOns;
because IT renders the hair as lustrous az
satin; because it makes it plant and
elastic; because it is a fragrant and de-
lightful dressing because it does not
soil the pillow, the cap or the hat; be-
cause il is without a rival in cheapness,
and because no other article sold for the
