project, a home for the working wo-
men of this city, is Likely to become
an elephant on his hands, The
building which was intended as the
future home three years ago is al
most complete, but it is thought
doubtful whether it is to be used
for what it was originally designed.
Mr. standardization was to make
it a kind of hotel exclusively for
single and widowed working wo.
men, where they could live cheap.

erection was begun, however, Sc.

luctanE speakers, and the expedition was
condemned TO pay ahons 500 worth of
cloth, two fint-lock guns, and, proving that
our humane principles are not yet widely
appreciated in Africa, three slaves, and, rs
they had no slaves, more cloth. This set
tied, they made the best Of their way.
The loss OF cloth was, however, serious
matter. The long delays on the coast and
on the march had greatly diminished their
stores of this article, and II further up the
country beads and brass wire should not be
in fashion-apd fashions in Africa are
seemingly as cspricious as in Paris 1.-The ex-
petition may be thus greatly embarrassed.
The expedition was 10 leave the Pevapiva
on the 18th Of June. The SBider rites,
with which it is furnished, appear to have
caused a wholesome dread among
the tribes and villages through which
they are passing, and among
which terrible reports ofths destructiveness
of these firearms are disseminated BY the
porters of Cameron's caravan. On more
than one occasion the very sight of these
rifles has been sufficient TO prevent the
down caravans robbing and msltreating the
caravans which are travelling with Came
ron, and as it were, under his protect
ion. A band Of robbers, under q man
named Kadijo, had plumber
ed the country all round Upwapwa, and
taken away all the cattle, the villagers be-
ing afraid to meet him In the open; and the
expedition has passed two or three village
Of 70 or 100 souls each, mi
grating with all their household goods and
gods to some place which might afford q
refuge from spoilation or attack.
The dismal swamp, of which Mr.. STAN
ley makes a kind Of African Slough of De-
spond, and through which he and bis men
foundered at great risk, was passed without
by the Cameron party. In his
letters to Maj. Smith, Lieut.. Cameron gives
almost Utopian accounts of the bucolic and
village life of the negroes in this quarter of
Africa, and asserts distinctly that their con-
dition is superior to that Of the ordinary
agricultural laborer in England.

Jackson is crowded with LAWYERS and
their families, attending the Supreme Court.
According to the Jackson papers the
membership Of the various churches in that
city is Lilo; the value of church property,
$500. -
Among the losses of prominent citizens
the Memphis appeal of the 10Th announces
the deaths of Mr.. George E. Montgomery, a
we'll known lawyer, Mr.. Hugh Stewart,
senior member Of the Stewart, Gwyune &
Co., and Mr.. II. a. Littleton.
We are informed by the Memphis AuaL-
Gnche, that about four o'clock on the even
ing of the 9th, Garrett Jones shot and
wounded Emma Elkins and then dubbed
her over the head with the gun, breaking
the latter in two, and wounding the woman
SO that she was not expected to live through
the night. Garrett was arrested.
The Jackson Wing and Tribune of the
18th says: The steam ginning establish
ment recently opened on West Lafayette
street, by Mr.. P. D. w. Ccnger, has proved
success. The gin is run by transmission
of power from the engine of the planning
mill, one hundred and fifty feet distant, by
means of a wire rope. About five bales of
cotton are ginned per day, and the lint is
most excellent. The wire rope which
transmits the power from the engine to the
gin is curiosity. 1t is the only wire rope
used in the South.
The Memphis appeal of the 10th says:
Yesterday the Louisville train, due here at
three o'clock in the afternoon, met with an
accident az point mile and-a-half this
side of Big Sandy, on the GAINESVILLE divis-
ion, which delayed the train some five
hours The engine was backing up, and at
this point named, ran over a cow which
threw the engine from the track down
seven foot embaDkment, landing it upon its
side, but fortunately the engineer and fire.
man escaped without injury. The forward
sleeping car, which was next to the engine,
and which contained some twenty ladies
and gen lemen, was torn from its trucks
and dropped upon the rails without iDjuring
any of its occupants.
From the Memphis appeal of the 10th;
Yesterday afternoon Dr.. Robert McWil-
liams, of DeSoto street, was arrested on a
very serious charge. A policeman CHANGED
to find dead infant inclosed in q bottle,
which had been thrown in privy. Upon
inquiry, Mrs, McWilliams, we understand,
gave the bottled Infant to negro woman to
dispose of it, and she placed it in the pit
where it was found. The accused parties
aver that the dead infant was given them
by physician who has since died, or, rath-
er, left at DR.. McWilliam's drug store, and
he merely wished to have it buried. DR..
McWilliams was released upon giving bond,
and will have an examining trial this morn
ing.

the little item TO which the Sentinel refers

item itself expresses confidence In Hon.

arrangement. 1t was intended only as
warning to the friends Of Mr.. Jones, that
too much prominence ought not to be given
to those who favored Johnson's election,
lest it should ALLEVIATE the friends of Gen.
Cheatham, and cause division in our ranks.

ANOTHER GREAT OBJECT WOULD BE
ACHIEVED.
The Tennessee and the Coosa rivers ap-
proach within IS miles of each other, and
then separate, the one flowing nQrtherly
and emptying intn the Ohio, the other
southerly, and throigh the Alabama river
into the gulf. By following the Coosa and
the Esowah, and joining the latter by canal
with the Ocmulgse, continuous water line
can be made to the Atlantic. The Gov
eminent has already caused a sur
vey and ESTIMATES to be made of
the latter line, taus joining the Mis-
sissippi with the Atlantic, and the
report of the u. S. Engineers pronounced
the scheme entirely practicable. The gen.
eral idea is this: that by q reasonable ex-
pendIture of the public funds the great
Northwest will be furnished with means
OF cheap transportation over the Tennessee
river to the great consuming section of the
South, and will also be provided with an
outlet on the Atlantic that is never cut off
by the rigors of winter. Also, q short and
easy water route will be furnished from
East Tennessee, Northern Georgia and Ala
bama to the Gulf Of Mexico.
There is no project for the improvement
Of our internal navigation which can be car
ried out to such important and magnificent
results.

THE WORLD AND L.

BY NELLY NJ. HUTCHINSON.
Whether my heart be glad or no,
The summers come, the summers go,
The lanes grow dark with dying leaves;
Icicles hang beneath the caves;
The asters wither to the snow;
Thus doth the summer end and go,
Whether my life be glad or no.
Whether my life be sad or no,
The winters come, the winters go,
The sunshine plays with baby leaves;
Swallows build about the caves;
The lovely wind-fiowers bend and blow;
Thus doth the winter end and go,
Whether my life be sad or no.
Yet Mother Nature gives to me
A fond and patient sympathy.
In my own heart find the charm
To make her tender, near, and warm;
Through summer sunshine, winter snow,
She clasps me, sad or glad or no.

A MAN in Burlington, few nights ago,
entered several saloons in succession, calling
at each place for "drink." Just about
the time he would be raisi z the glass to his
lips the wife of bis bosom would enter
and call the bar-keeper all kinds Of ugly
names, and assert that, according to the new
law, she could obtain Judgment of $1,000
damages from him for selling her husband
whisky. We understand tnat this game
worked successfully in several instances.

Do you think the summer viii ever come,
With white of lilly and flush of rose
With her warm, bright days of joy and June,
So long you dream they win never close?
VIII the birds, still on the bending boughs
Sing out their hearts in mad delight,
And the golden butterflies, sun suffused,
Flutter and float from morn till night?
Do you think my summer will ever come.
With brow of lilly and cheek of rose2
Shall hold her fast-my joy, my June
And dream that my day will never close?
Will she mock the birds on the bending boughs,
For her voice is music-my hearts delight
Or be content, like the butterflies,
In the sun of my love, from morn till night?
