s,ermshi. city of Galveston De.
strOyed by Fire.
New ORLEANS, March 30.-There was
no business transacted here yesterday
by reason of its being Good Friday.
A fire broke out about one o'clock
yesterday morning on board the steam
ship City of Galveston, lying at the head
of Dumane street, and owned by Messrs.
c. H. Mallory Il Co., of New York. The
City of Galveston arrived on Thursday
morning with a general assorted cargo
from New York; she is nearly new, and
valued at about $3.50, 900, and the cargo
is estimated to be worth about the same
amount. The vessel was insured for
$4,000, and the cargo, for the benefit OF
consignees, for probably near its value.
The captain and crew were fast asleep
at the time, and barely had time to es-
cape half dressed. The extent of the
damage cannot be ascertained for some
time, as the fire ragged in the held until
after daylight, and the fire department
was pumping water into her SO that she
might fill. The origin of the fire could
not be ascertained. 94ltt

Little Rock city DirectOry-Is72-3.
Messrs. Charles Y. Squier & Co. are
about to issue new directory of the
city of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Mr..
Squier Is now in our city on business
connected with the enterprise. He will
call upon a few of our business men for
their patronage, and we commend him
and his work to their favorable conside-
ration. The city Of Little Rock has had
wonderful growth in the past few
years, and now numbers population OF
$4,000 to $1,000, which is rapidly in
creasing. Memphis should control the
Wholesale trade of that city, instead Of
permitting it to 90 to the far East, and
little effort on the part of our whole
sale dealers will 90 very far towards Sc
curingit. This trade will grow and in
crease from year to year, and by getting
a good foothold now it may be held in
the future, A directory is city insti-
tuition, and one of the best means our
merchants could employ for introducing
their goods and wares to the notice of
dealers in the smaller cities where one
is published.

CONVENTIONS.

II we must have County Conven-
ton, let it be fair one, for none other
will command the respect of the people
A packed convention, no matter whom
it may nominate, will disgust the people
and drive them to the support of indie
pendent candidates. We are disposed
TO think well Of the proposition to elect
delegates by ballot. We think il is the
only plan that may represent, with any
sort of fairness, the popular sentiment.
Even that, under the controlsof trick
sters, may fail to answer the end. While
we are for non-aetion, for the present
on the part of the Democracy Of
The Union, we think it is of the great.
est Importance that the party be KEEP
in6ghting trim in the States. Each State
should present a compact Democratic
front, and the counties should follow thu
example. But the action Of State an'
county conventions must be fair. i
there are aspirants who Imagine tina
they can pack conventions in thei
interest and have them respected, the.

Anecdote OF nadam MaIibran

The writer of Musical Recollections
of the last Half Century" in Tinsley's
Magazine, tells this characteristic story
of Madame Malibran when playing Som.
nambula in 1895:
The characters on the occasion Of
Nine. Malibran's return TO the English
stage in Somnambula, in 1885, we're
tolerably filed by Mr. Seguin e. Count
Rodolfo Mr. Templeton |" Eivino " J,
Mr.. Dusuret ("Alsseio and Miss
Bolts {" Lisa Malibran, who entered
heart and soul into every character she
undertook, was reduced almost to despair
at first by the stupidity and gaueherie
of Mr.. Templeton, who had not the
slightest idea Of acting. 1t was enough
for him-as it was also for Rubini and
Ivanhoff-to walk on and off and about
the stage, coming in with his part at the
proper cues, and singing at his best.
But this did not suit Mime. Malibran.
At the first rehearsal she bore this i'm
perturbability Of manner with some de-
gree of patience, but when, at the next
and the succeeding repetition, she found
him no better than stick" she sud-
denly seized him by the arm, and Kissed
into his ear: Good heavens, sirl don't
you know you are my lover2 You must
make love to me with Some show Of pas
sion in the first act, and in the second
you must pull me about the stage as if
you would tear me into little bits.

Never Mind EARLY Rising.

All this talk about early rising 10
moonshine. The habit of turning out of
bed in the middle ofthe night suits some
people; let them enjoy it. But it is only
folly to lay down general rule upon the
subject. Some men are fit for nothing
all day after they have risen early in the
morning. Their energies are deadened,
their imaginations are heavy, their
spirits are depressed. Il is said you can
work so well in the morning. Some peo-
pie can, but others can work best at
night, and Others, again, in the after
noon. Long trial and experience form
the only conclusive tests on these points.
As for getting up early because Profes'
sor Cannon has written letters to the
papers proving the necessity Of it, let no
one be goose enough to do it. We all
know the model man, eighty" inva-
riably rise at FIVE; ! work three hours
take a light breakfast-namely, q
cracker and a pinch Of salt-Work FIVE
I hours more; never smoke: never drink
anything but barley water; eat no din
ner, and 20 to bed at six in the even
/ ing" II anybody finds thot donkeyfed
sort Of life suits him, by all means let
him continue Il. But few people would
care TO live 10 eighty on those terms II
man cannot get well withered and
erumbled up on easier terms than those,
Z it is almost as well that be should depart
before he is a nuisance TO himself and a
bore to everybody else.

In answer to an invitation to meet in
convention in Cincinnati, on the first
Wednesday in May, a call has been
issued by the Liberal Republicans of
this city accepting the invitations and
inviting all Republicans in New York
who agree with the principles lately set
forth by the Liberal Republicans of
Missouri, to cooperate. The call is
signed by Henry r. Sheldon, Horace
Greeley and large number of other
prominent Republicans. The document
sets forth that this departure is taken
from the deep conviction that the pres
ent Republican organization is under
the control of those who use it chiefly
for personal purposes, and obstrnct free
expression upon important matters now
before the people Of the United States.

For several days rumors of a proceed
ing under the code duello have been
floating around the city in fighting cir
cles. The tale of chivalry is, that two
well.known gentlemen differed as to
some immaterial point, became excited,
aggressive and denunciatory. Explana-
ton was asked and refused; so the mat
ter stood on 6rst-class grounds for the
arbitrament Of the sword or horse-pis-
tolls. The scribes were called in and
correspondence ensued-weapons, rifles;
distance, twenty PAGES; time, 8 o'clock
yesterday morning; place, the remnant
of sandbar that spreads out at the foot
of our sister city Of Hopefield. The
golden sun threw his rays across the
river yesterday morning, and there
stood principal, second and surgeon,
each smoking fragrant Havana, while
near by rested the trusty rifle and the
box Of medical instruments. Watches
were taken out time hew by on the
wings of the morning, but no adversary
appeared. The ferry-boat did not bring
the foeman, nor did any skiff float him
over to the jumping off place. What
was the matter2 This was the Sphinx
riddle that none could solve. The party
returned to the city late last evening,
and honor was redeemed, SO far as the
party present. was concerned. Why the
others did not appear, we know not. 1t

He has for many years been regarded

A lawyer of great attachments, speak
err of surprising power and finish, and
a writer of great huency and force, he
made his mark wherever he appeared.
In Congress he had no superior as a

equals as a stump orator. Obese in his
person and careless in his habits, he
possessed wonderful readiness in the
use of his mental batteries, which he
could bring into effective play at mo
