Delightful weather, Politics lively.
Travel good. There are no politics in
heaven. Private parties are the rage.
The evenings now are cool and pleasant
for sleeping. Improvements are going
on in Chelsea at a wholesale rate. The
theater will be we'll patronized next
week. Who are you for, Cheatham or
Johnson2 is the question with which
Memphians are confronted on every
corner. There have been few political
tussels around town within the last five
days. The box-oaice Of the Memphis
Theater opened this morning, and the
sale of seats for Oliver Doud Byron's
engagement commenced. The recent
rains damaged the open cotton. The
County Court meets next Monday week.
Country editors have been plentiful
in the city for several days past.
The police force change duty on the LIST
prox., the day force going on night duty,
and vice versa. Building is going on
actively in the burnt district. Horace
Greeley's chances Of election grow bet
ter and better every day, and bets on his
election are being freely offered. Oliver
Doud Byron, who appears at the Mem
phis Theater Monday night is accompa-
MED by very funny fellow who issues
proclamation calling himself Ben
Mccullough formerly of Tennessee, but
now, and until the end of my natural
existence, of California. Nearly all
the best articles now on exhibition at
the Louisville Exposition will be trans
ferred to the Memphis Exposition,
if wise councils can prevail with
the exhibitors there. Squirrels are
abundant on this side the river
both in Tennessee and Kentucky,
Our Jim yesterday heard of young
man who was completely thunder
struck" and wonders if it hurt him.
Selling lottery tickets in Memphis costs
$500 fine and thirty days imprisonment.
The Grand Jury are going to suppress
keno if they can. The population of
Memphis is as great now as it was before
the late fire, and from the indications of
activity around the burnt district, we
shouldn't wonder if the number of houses
wouldn't be as large as ever in short
time. The Police Board will hold
meeting at the Mayors Office this
afternoon, for the purpose Of in
vestigating a number of charges
that have been preferred by citizens.
The station-house is getting new coat
of whitewash, among other improve
ments. The County Court, which meets
in this city the first Monday in October,
will elect coroner for this county, and
also tax collector to collect railroad
tax. +. B. Willard wants the city to
pay him ten thousand dollars because
he fell into hole ten feet deep on the
night of the fourth of July. P. T.
Barnum is coming South with his show.
Remember the Exposition, to keep it well
before the people and in your own
minds, so that when the day cometh in
which We shall exhibit specimens ofyour
handicraft We may not be without arti-
cles of merit.

teen fowls, of the value Of twenty cents
each, and brought the poultry to this
market to be bartered here for filthy
lucre. Squire Spelman, not appreciat-
ing the action of Porter, sent him to
Jail in default of bonds for his appear
ance before the Grand Jury.

has issued a reward of three hundred
dollars for the arrest Of Sam Levy, the
negro who murdered Tom Burke on
Saturday night last. Captain Athy,

FIRE IN THE CoUNTRY.-The residence
of Mrs. DR.. A. F. Mckinney, three
miles south of Forrest Hill, in this
county, was totally destroyed by fire
night before last the 2Ith inst. The
building was constructed two stories high
of logs some twenty-five years ago, and
had been subsequently improved by cell
ing and Notwithstanding. The fire
caught about ten o'clock at night from a
defective fue in the kitchen, and spread
so rapidly that its progress could not be
arrested until the building was in ashes.
Nearly all the furniture was likewise de-
stroyed. Total loss probably $4,000. The
house was occupied by DR.. Finley Nc
Kinney, jr., and his wife.

The Founta,n.

The fountain for the Exposition ia
nearly ready, and when put up will be a
most attractive feature Of the Exposi.
ton. The fountain will be OF Johnson
patent, and is said to be a very hand
some thing. 1t will be mighty nice
thing to go up to fountain of cool,
sparkling ice-water to quench the thirst
and find the figure of handsome, smi-
ling female sprinkling the pearly drops
continuously and promiscuously. OF all
the pretty things in the Exposition build
ing, we expect the fountain to be the
prettiest and most attractive.

moth, and the docile monster wisks away
as if rejoicing in the play-day train be-
hind him. As our speed increases we
are not on springs. The easy swing of
the car does not pertain to the locomotive,
which jumps to its work with rioting,
trampling, trip-hammer energy that dis
dams the thought of ease and softness.
We cannot keep our feet, and find it very
hard to keep the high and narrow slippery
seat, with nothing to hold on to. The
speed seems terrific. The country no
longer glides away from US with drifting
notion rushes on us like a thunder.
