An Editor OF TE0 Papers.

An Anticipated writer in the Memphis
AppcH has dug up out ofhis memory the
following rich story, The young lawyer
referred to is still llourishiug in Mem
phis, There was never greater local
excitement than that which grew out Of
this internal navy.yard business. Half
the people were in favor Of accepting the
property, and half or more opposed TO II,
the latter, thinking that the Government
might be induced even yet TO make llb-
erai appropriations and perfect the navy
yard and build ships and steamers here.
There We're two newspapers published
hcre-one a morning publication, edited
by gentleman OF no ordinary ability
named Bankhcad, who WIS tragiCally and
mysteriously assassinated some six years
ago. There was another, an afternoon
paper, called the Noes q believe that was
its nance, edited by man named Iancey.
These editors opposed one another on
the naYyyard question, and their dis
cussiOn mad begOtten Il good deal OF eN-
element, when both went away for the
summer, and each, without the other
knowledge, employed the same man, this
young lawyer, to conduct his paper N
lis absence. The young limb OF the law
naturally enough took to both sides OF
the question lie made the controversy
between the Two papers hotter and
hotter on each successive day. Crowds
gathered each afternoon about the Meas
office, and somebody expected that the
two furious editors would shed blood.
The coming duel in Arkansas was conf
IDENTIFY anticipated, and the ferocity Of 1Ae
two papers was marvellous. Popular eX,
ciement was intense when Bankhead
came hurrying home from Virginia, and
Iancey from Alabama, each thinking
that the other was about to murder his
own substitute. Such was the fervor OF
popular feeling and evaporation that the
story was necessarily kept quiet. II the
mischievoua fraud upon the public pas
sion had been exposed at the time, the
cou amote editor would have been hanged
TO lamp-post."

TINE number Of bones in human body
is generally estimated at 24j, of which
there are ieckOued in the skull, head and
face, Gl in the trunk, ct; in the arms and
hands, 60; and in the legs and feet, 60.
The weight Of the skeleton is about one
tenth the weight Of the whole body.
Bone, when used rs a lever, Is % times
as strong as sandstone, So times as strong
rs lead nearly 2it times as strong as Elm
and Ash, and twice rs strong as Box,
Yew and Oak timber.
The number of muscles in man is $40,
being more than twice the number of the
bones. The bulk of the body, upon an
average, is equal to q cube Of "a little more
than sixteen inches on a side, and the
amount of water equals u cube Il little
more than fourteen inches on side, or
nearly three fOurths Of the body.
An adult drinks about fifteen hundred
pounds Of water yearly, and throws OFF,
through the various WastegaiCs. nineteen
hundred pounds The difficulty Of ac-
counting for the four hundred pounds
has led some to suppose that the water is
formed in the system by the union Of
oxygen and hydrogen,
The salts that have been enumerated are
found in almost every part Of the body,
found in every fluid and solid, except
enamel. The whole amount in the hu-
man body is 211 grains. It serves many

how the hopes raised by this remarkable

that the dead body Of her who was really
