AN ELEGANT STOCK OF DRYGOODS.

The great Increase in the business of
the popular drygoods merchants, Messrs.
HeTZog d Bro, compelled them to seek
more commodiOus and extensive premi-
ses than those heretofore occupied by
the firm. A few days since they there
fore moved into their new store, No. 259
Main street, opposite Court square,
where they are at present opening Hp a
most elegant stock of dress-gOods in all
the new, latest, and most desirable
styles. Every novelty in this particular
line of the drygOOds business has been
selected with the very greatest care by
Mr.. Herzog, who lately paid visit to
New York for that purpose. The stock
OF imported goods is replete with
all that is fashionable and
new in shade, color, style and
fabric, calculated to suit the most fas-
tidious taste. Their stock of collars,
neck-ruchings, trimmings and embroid-
cries is choice and varied throughout
and displays finished taste in selection.
Their stock Of cloths, cassimeres and
jeans is full and complete and suitable
for both men and boys wear. All the
newest patterns are to be found on eXhi-
hilton and at prices that will defy COM
petition. They make a specially of
calicoes, and ladies can find at this es-
tablishment one Of the most admirably
selected stocks of this particular line OF
goods from the celebrated French, Eng
lish and American manufactures.
This firm also keeps on hand a very
large assortment of goods that
come under this denomination, and in
fact customers will find at HerZOg &
Bros new store every article generally
found in a first-class retail dry goods
establishment at prices moderate in the
first degree. Messrs. Herzog have fitted
up their new establishment with due
regard to taste. The windows are ex-
quisitely dressed with all kinds of beau
tiful goods, and the tout ensemble pre-
sented is very fine indeed. The firm
are making the greatest preparations for
an extensive fall trade.

PAINTING AND DECORATION.
Hook d LsGrfII, the Leading Artists Il
their Line I'm Memphis.

Memphis may Justly take pride fol
her progress in the fine arts, and par.
ticularly in the branch in the hands o
the firm of Messrs. Hook d LaGrill
These gentlemen have contributed morC
to the beauty and ornament of Mem
phis than any other of her industries
| They combine in one the different
| branches of house-painting, frescoing,
granting and decorating, paper-hangins
/ in its perfection, sign writing, glass
staining and lettering, speci.
mems of which may be seen
on the prominent edifices in the city,
and which will excel most and compare
favorably with the best similar work in
any part OF the world. In the line oi
house-painting and decoration their IA
cilities are perfect, and, under the skill
full and artistic manipulations OF
brush and pencil, the meanest
hOvel is n.agically transformed
into palitial beauty. Their dis
play at the exposition last season was
most ereditable, and particularly do we
mention their specimens of papeT-haug-
ing in its multifariOUs shapes and varie-
ties. This is a speciality with the firm,
in which their facilities are equal TO any
city in the Union. In q word, in all
branches combined in their business,
they may be classed as perfection. Be
sides, they keep on hand for the retail
trade large and well-assorted supply of
painters, paper-hangers, and sign-wri-
ters' material, which they offer at
prices as low as the same articles, in
quality and quantity, can be obtained
anywhere. In their line this firm are
entitled to be called the pioneers Of its
progress, for they inaugurated a system
Of Improvement in every department
and increase in facilities to supply the
demand which was necessarily stimu-
lated by the skill snd taste in which
their work was executed. Their place
of business is 1926 Second street. Orders
from the country for work or material
meet with prompt attention.

sent from hore within tho last few days relating
to tho attitude of the Comptroller Of tho Cur
renoy towards National Banks for refusing to
pay currency to depositors and creditors, and
substituting certified checks lnstcad. Those dis
patches represented that tho Comptroller had
positively stated that tue action of tic National
Banks in entoring into such m arrangement waB
Illegal, md In direct violation Of tho National
Bankiug act, and TINT tho Comptroller haa no
discretion, in all such caHes, where applications
wsre made for tho appointment of Recoiyor.

interests Of tho country, md inquiries have
boon pouring in horo from all sections Of tho
country, inquirlng as to whether these woro

trollor stated tonight that ho had ueyor made
