BnuLoUs. There Ia not city In ths
Union, as we are informed by good au-
thority, where q greater diversity Of
sentiment exists as to the price and
value Of drinks than in Memphis. The
prices range from ten cents to twenty
FIVE cents for spirituous liquors, and
from five to twenty-five cents for malt
liquors. Our informant insists that the
liquors are not materially different. not
withstanding the rates. Being mathe.
matician and diver into calculations Of
a curious nature, he adds that FIVE dol
lar gallon of whisky contains eighty
drinks. which, at ten cents each, make
eight dollars, and at twenty-five cents
make twenty dollars, thereby showing a
profit of no mean sum. Relying exclu-
sively on the information above tender
ed, we, in common with the public, call
for reform. Why cannot the retailers
hold a convention to equalize rates and
establish an uniform price2 0etl

plants continue to reach this Office as
to the enterprising depredations made
by maruding goats and hogs on flower
gardens. One citizen sat up all night
at a convenient window and with shot
gun in hand awaited the arrival of the
animals, but the night being cloudy the
goats invariably escaped over the fence
after every shot. The ordinance is not
enforced as it should be. 1t is rather.
difficult to catch lively goats and vide
awake hogs, but some means should be
provided to carry out the law as it
appears on the statute book, If it is
impossible to enforce the ordinance let
it be repealed.

object. Gentlemen whose whiskers are
shy of making their appearance in force,

the most wonderful encoufager of fbrous

it, as, by all odds, it is the best article
for improving the growth and beauty Of
the hair, keeping it free from scurf and

gloss and endowing it with hexibility--

of Pixies Peak. Not few have brushed
the dust from their feet and crossed over
to the Old World-a misnomer, however,
for this continent according to savants
is the old world, but at present it is
enjoying new birth. Thousands have
to remain on the bluffs, watching the
eternal sweep of the mighty Mississippi
and the golden sun as it sinks behind
the great woods of Arkansas. Even
Italy furnishes no more charming sun
sets than can be seen from the banks OF
the great Father of Waters.
