THE interesting question of the worth
of labor at the time of the great fire, has
come up at Boston in the case of John
B. Webster, a teamster, who was occu-
pied one hour in removing the assets of
the National Bank of Mutual Rcdemp-
ton, amounting to over $1,00S,0OO. Not
being satisfied with the amount rendered
by the bank officers in payment of his
services, he brought suit to recover. A
number of witnesses we're examined, in
Guiding several teamsters, who testified
that the service was worth $50 an hour at
that time, and the Municipal Court
awarded him $75 damages Webster ap-
pealed to the Superior Court.

The London Daily Neacs of the Goth says of
the lease of SANTANA Bay to an American
Company, that it is not likely to give rise
to any diplomatic complication, but the
wholesomeness of this tendency to acquire
territory beyond continental limits is doubt
full.
The Turkish Government has sued the
London Times for libel in publishing
communication, alleged to have been
signed by the Turkish Minister in London,
containing untrue statements with refer
ence to the finances of the Government of
Turkey.
News on the Goth was to the effect that

of the Cuban reyolutionists, with arms and
ammunition, had landed safely near Guauta-
nAmo.
Recent information from San Domingo is
to the effect that most of the valuable fran
chises of the island have passed into the
possession of the new American Company.
It is reported that conference has been
held at Chiselhurst, at which it was decided
that the Empress Eugene and Prince Ma
poleon should be the political guardians of

MisfOrtunes of Memphis.

The list of the suferings of Memphis during the current year is very extra ordinary and saddening. First, com merce by river was impossible on &C., count of ice for two months. Next, as soon as the river was navigable the cpl zootic prevailed to such an extent that there were no horses to haul freight to the steamers-a fact which absolutely paralyzed trade and industry. The third calamity was the smallpox, winch so frightened people in other cities that Memphis was left in want not only of necessary aid and attention but of food. Fourth came the indigenous" cholera, whose ravages among an already dis heartened population were as severe as those of the smallpox. The cholera had not fairly run it's course when the yellow fever made it's appearance as the fifth scourge within ten months. Then, as the sixth cause of suffering, came the financial panic. These calamities certainly entitle Memphis to the largest measure of aid and sympathy, for noth- ing except a Lisbon earthquake or Chicago fire could cause greater suffer- ing than that known to the people of Memphis during this year.

Poisonous Undershirts.

We'll authenticated instances of poi soning, resulting from wearing fabrics colored by some of the dyes in common ly intelligent gentleman, B. F., Esq, of Byfeld, Mass, called few weeks ago to consult us regarding his own case, which was of so serious nature as to cause much alarm, not only to himself, but to his family.
 He had few days previous pur- chased some new undershirts of cotton, colored with various tints, among which aniline red predominated. In Q short time after putting on the garment a peculiar eruption of an irritating nature appeared on the portion of the body covered by the cloth. The effects was not merely local, but to a considerable extent constitutional, pain and uneasi- ness being experienced in the back and lower extremeties. In proof that the eruption was caused by the dye colors, it may be stated that portion of the garment about the upper part of the chest was lined with linen on the under side and whenever this came in con- tact with the skin, no eruption or red ness appeared. The gentleman had worn cotton stockings, upon the upper portion of which there was woven in the fabric narrow line of red. Be- heath this band of red, around the leg, appeared corresponding band of irri- tated skin after wearing the hose one day. The poisonous influence of the dye colors in this case cannot be dis puted. It is not probable that the number of persons is large who possess such idosyncrasies of constitution as to be easily poisoned by dye colors, but that there are some does net admit of doubt.

The Nathan Murder.
Some Important sDevelopmonts --- Tho ]. -r., gHNrnna @AnnsN1 nH flAa q TAnnt.i1


 True Story Of the Dog.''
 Since the arrival of John T. Irving in New York, some important information has been obtained from the police. Irving is still reticent.
 There are not many persons who know much about the Nathan case, the the principal ones being ex-Superinten- dent Kelso, Superintendent Matsell, and other police officers.
 The officers who were at work on the Nathan case claim to know that George Ellis, Dan Kelly, now in Sing Sing, = Carr, also at Sing Sing, and Billy" Forester, now in Joliet prison, were concerned in the robbery of MT. Ma than's house, and that it was planned by German woman who lodged with "Billy Johnson at the time, and sub- sequently with John T. Irving, and it is now believed that the latter got his information, papers, etc., from this woman.
 Notwithstanding all the stories to the contrary, it is said that there were bonds in the safe before the murder, and it is also said that BIO, ,00O worth of trust bonds were seen in Dan Kelly's possession, which he was attempting to negotiate. Dan Kelly, certain police officers say, is known to have subse- quently admitted that he killed MT. Nathan, and to have told his associates how he used the dog"
 The watch and chain which were stolen from Mr. Nathan's house, were pawned at Abraham Goodman's pawn shop, No. 31 Centre street, corner of Reade, the day after tie murder, and were redeemed about six months after; and it is said that the police are &C., quainted with the whereabouts of the property.
 The "dog" was given to Dan. Kelly by caulker who worked in the Brook lyn Navy Yard, at the Oriental Saloon, at Grand and East Broadway, a few nights before the murder of MT. Nathan, The caulker lived in Stanton street at the time. He died on January 27th, 1872, and it is believed the murder had much to do with his death.
 Irving's wife is now living over a grocery store at the corner of Hester and Mott streets, and the police have had several interviews with her. Mrs. Irving denies that she has the papers of which her husband speaks, but admits that he often told her that if he got into a bad scrape he had something that would get him out of it, and besides confer great good upon the commu- nifty.
 Irving in his conversation with the officers denied that he ever said Washington Nathan had anything to do with putting up the job , to rob the house." s

HumOrs of the Panic.

A far exponent of the financial s1tua- tion may be found in the story of the Texan cattle drover, who arrived in Chicago with a lot of prime cattle, which he readily sold at good price, supposing he would be paid in green backs. To his horror, he was offered a certified check" which he roughly re- fused, remarking, "He'd be hanged if he'd take that kind of paper. It would be great thing for him to show in Texas for his cattle?"
 Another drover at Indianapolis de- handed currency for his steers, the value of which came to 8, 900, but no such sum could be scraped together in those panic times, so the purchaser finally raked up $5,O0O in small Gov ernment bonds, which tho drover con- cluded to accert, and stuck in his pock- ct, remarking, "He supposed he could give 'em away, anyhow!"

A PRov1DENT1A1 MAN.-This title now justly belongs to physician who has added to the list of medicines new remedy, which appears to include all that is most valuable in the old pharmacopoeia, and not to include any of the drawbacks with which the so- called specifies of the Faculty are chargeable. The Providential man is DR. JOSEPH WALKER, of California, whose VINEGAR B1TTERs have achieved, in the short space of two years, a degree of popularity never before attained by any advertised preparation in this coun- try. We have too much confidence in the shrewdness of the American people to suppose that this sudden and sur prising celebrity is. the outgrowth of 8 delusion. Indeed, we have reason to know that it is founded on innumerab le and well authenticated cures of almost all the bodily ills that flesh is heir to. Not the least among the merits of the famous Tonic and Restorative, is it's entire freedom from alcohol, as well as from all mineral drugs. It is composed exclusively of rare vegetable extracts.

Security.

Business. men almost universally recognize tect themselves from the great risks in busi- ness, and ill fact merchant would not be con- sidered worthy of trust if he did not insure his goods. While all, therefore, recognize the ne- cessity of insuring their property many fail to see that their lives also have a certain insured value to their families, especially those that have no capital, as their labor is the sole SUD- port of their families, which in case of death is lost to them. The only means of which this value may be insured is by means of policy of Life Insurance in good company.
