FIRE-The frame building situated on
Market street, near the railroad, known
rs Powelrs corner, and occupied By John
b. Muse as saloon and family grocery,
was totally destroyed by fire yesterday
morning at an early hour, together with
a largo portion of the stock of groceries
and the ten pin alley attached Loss of
building about 81 800, which falls upon
n. j. Powell We are not correctly in
formed as to the precise loss sustained by
J. B. Muse but euppose that $1,000
will cover it. There was no inN
surancc. The fire broke out in the ten
pin alley but its true origin Is unknown.
Some think it the work of an incendiary
while others ascribe it to accident.
At one time the residence Of Mr.. Pow>
ell was in great danger but the prompt
action of a number of citizens saved it
from destruction.

Just So.

In one of his recent speeches, Major
Sykes, who is interchangeable and untiring
as q worker in railroad interests, said
some thought the heavy debt Of Memphis
and of Shelby GOuTty was caused by rail
roads. This was not so. Memphis had
never subscribed but seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars 60 railroads This
does not include the subscription to the
Memphis and Charleston road which the
city did not pay. The county subscrip.
ton was only three hundred thousand
dollars The Memphis and Paducah road
got three hundred thousand dollars the
Memphis and Ohio road three hundred
thousand dollars; the Selma road two
hundred thousand dollars. Total, eight
hundred thousand dollars IN addition,
the county has indOr5ed the bonds Of the
Raleigh road for fifty thousand dollars.
The whole amount of county and city
subscription is only only one million five
hun 1red and fifty thousand dollars. The
wealth of the county has Increased to
thirty eight million two hundred and fOrr
EY four thousand one hundred and forty
four dollars, or nearly twenty times the
amount of the railroad subscription over
and above what it was in 1850. This
shows what the railroads have done for
ShelbY.-APpeal.
All of which being the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, does it
not become our Shelby county friends to
assist in the early completion of the
Memphis and Knoxville narrow gauge
railroad ? 1t seems so.

CoTTON. - Considerable cotton was
brought in during the week, and we may
now look for increased receipts, as the
farmers are busily engaged in picking,
ginning and bailing. Yesterday low
middling was going at Is cents, while
middling stood at I7@}I74 The decline
in prices since our last report is no
doubt owing to the shaky condition of
financial affairs in the Eastern cities and
the yellow fever scare in the Southern
ports Cotton certainly Is tending down

in the Eastern and Northern States there
is no telling where it viii stop. Times

The managers of the auuarium at the Crystal

covery. Although they had been very successful

cred the cause of all the trouble. The directors
had supplied their tanks with water provided by
a London company, and ii was found that the

Hamilton observes For intellectual power of
the highest order none were distinguished above
Grotius and Pascal; and Grotius and Pascal for
got nothing they had ever read or thought
Leibnitz and Euler were not less celebrated for
their intelligence than for their memory, ana both
could repeat the whole of the "lEneid" Donellus
knew the "Corpus Juris' by heart, and yet he was
one of the profOundest and most original specu-
latoFs In jurisprudence. Ben johnson tells us
that he could repeat all that he had ever written,
and whole books that he had read. Themistocles
could call by their names the twenty thousand
citizens Of Athens. Cyrus is reported to have
known the name of every soldier in his arny-
HoTtensluS (after Cicero the greatest orator of
honieD, AMER sitting whole day at a public sale,
correctly enunciated from memory ali the things
sold, their prices, and the names of their pnr-
chaaers. Niebuhr, the historian, was no less dis.
tinguished for his memory than for his acuteness.
la his youth he was employed in one of the pub.

counts having been destroyed, he restored it by
