Unfortunate.

A little scene occurred at the theatre last
night, not mentioned in the bills. A group
of Senators occupied seats near the right
hand entrance (having gone to the theatre
probably for the purpose of getting some
new ideas relative to the interests to be ln-
corporated in the forthcoming school bll0
and as they sat with their heads together
earnestly discussing e m DeTorm al seq

Memphis and Paducah RaiIroad.

The Memphis appeal, Feb. II, says:
The Memphis and Paducah road is now q
substantial success. Nothing, it appears,
can prevent lis speedy completion.
Ex-Gov. Norton, President of this very
important road, read to meeting of the
stockholders yesterday full report of
the condition and doings of the road.
The work has been advanced with as
tonishing rapidity. The entire road
bel between Memphis and Coving-
ton is about ready for the iron, one
thousand tons Of which are now in our
city. The work of laying the iron is to be
commenced at once and pushed forward as
rapidly as the weather will permit. The
old directory, with perhaps one exception,
was selected, thus retaining the confidence
which the infexible integrity and energy Of
those gentlemen have inspired in the public
mind. 1t is confidently believed by those
fully acquainted with the fertile regions
through which this road passes that 10 road
terminating in our city will contribute
more TO our material prosperity than the
Paducah and Memphis road. May all such
prosper.

a couple of brothers have been rooming
down on College street with several other
young men. They were out on bender
yesterday, and returning to their room in
the afternoon, began quarrelling because
one had been furnished with clean sheets
for the bed, while the other had not, and
as they were still under the influence of
liquor, many words had not passed until
they were earnestly engaged in pounding
each other at a very lively rate. A young
man who also occupied the apartment, I'M
dertook to separate the combattants, when
he was very roughly handled. The parties
were all arrested and taken to police head

s'The Best and Cheapest Hotel in
America

.'The Best and Cheapest Hotel in
America
There are q great many hotels in this
country whose proprietors, with a sense Of
confidence that is truly touching, will be-
lieve that the above heading refers to their
particular hotel, and 10 other. If these pre-
prietors were all assembled in body at a
certain time and place, and a trumpet was
to sound the above quotation, wouldn't
each and every proprietor there cry out as
if with one voice: "Th2t's my house!' We
say ''No!' But our ''travelling correspond
ent, whose perambulationse extend through
every quarter Of the globe, says it is, calais,
too true" and we submit to his superior
judgment.
We mean, however, to speak of New
York hotels. There is one hotel on Broad
way that certainly is the largest, best and
cheapest first-class hotel in that city.
We wish to say, and experience viii bear
us out, that when a guest receives an ele-
gantly furnished room, with meals at bis
command from early breakfast every hour
till midnight, with a perfect pdrl0r on
lDbeelS for an elevator, to carry him from
one floor to another, and all for $500 per
day, we think the proprietor of that hotel
may come forward and claim the above
title for his house. The Grand Central
Hotel, on Broadway, upon which has been
lavished nearly two millions (S2,000,000)
of dollars, is that hotel. It's proprietor, Fl.
L. Powers, judiciously discriminates be-
tween the upper and lower floors, fixing
the price at $500, $3.50 and 81 90 per day,
according to location. The Grand Central
is the only hotel we know of that does BUSH
ness on this system.

AIfOEether Too Kind.

Some of our citizens complain that their
coal don't last as long as it should. For
instance, lady bought load the other
day, which was dumped at the edge of the
sidewalk. Sending her little son out to get
some one to carry it into the cellar, the
lady forgot all about her purchase. After
half an hours absence, the boy returned
to find that some kind person, or persons
had saved his mother being put 10 any ez-
pense in removing the coal, as there was
but one bucketful remaining. Considering
that the day was mild and pleasant, the
lady is of the opinion that cart load q
coal should have lasted her more than hal ..
an hour. And she is right.

The London correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes:
Lord Lytton was deaf, and at times very
deaf, his malady varying in intensity. 1t
was his foible 10 wish TO conceal 1t, espe-
cislly when tie partial return Of the sense
gave him a chance. An old friend triving
with him one day, raised bis voice to high
pitch. "Why do you shout at rue so"
exclsirned Lord Lytton. "O1, my Lord"
was the answer, Thought you seemed
rather more deaf than usual" "Deaf? F"
screamed his Lordship. "I'm not deaf,
On you; Late deaf people," And for the
rest of the drive there was great silence.

ciunati and Ohio Railroad Company, some
time in last year, giving the Duck River
Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, running
from Columbia through Lewisburg on to
Fayetteville, Tenn, one hundred and fit
teen thousand dollars and reserving two
hundred thousand dollars to the Cincinnati
and Ohio Railroad Company Gt also to be
a narrow gauge) was voted upon last Tues
day, giving the handsome little majority Of
three hundred in its favor, and perhaps
would have given it a larger majority if the
weather had not been so inclement.. l
think our little town is destined to be a
city yet, or at least person would think
so from the rise in real estate in the last
few days. Property has rose two hundred
per cent since Tuesday. Mr.. Myers, Presl-
dent of the Duck River Railroad Company
says he will carry off our next cotton crop.
So hope he may. w. 4.
