The Little Rock Republican Of Il

nv -" -
The Little Rock Republican Of the
18th has the following item of news:
From a gentleman just in from Jack
sonport we learn that man, represent
ing himself as an ex-deputy sheriff OF
Shelby county, Tennessee, and was gor-
geous with diamonds and heavy gold
watch, was arrested in that town, Sun
day, by the city marshal and VIM. Hig-
gins, of this city, upon suspicion of hav-
ing been connected with the recent
diamond robbery in Memphis. He was
put under guard, and during the night
managed to effect his escape. 1t may
be some consolation to know that his
diamonds and watch are in the hands OF
the parties who made the arrest. Our
informant did not ascertain the mans
name.
1t is but just to add to the above that
not deputy sheriff of Shelby county is
able to sport a gorgeous assortment OF
diamonds; the Sheriff himself has to put
up with solitaire.

The banks are doing but light bust
ness to-day, and report the demand for
money about as active, bnt not more
pressing, as during the past few weeks.
Commercial bills come in slowly and
are taken at l@sc discount on Northern
and Eastern cities, and &c on New Or
leans. Accommodation transactions on
New York were $4,000 at SO y $1,000
discounts, and bankers checks on all
points selling at par. Gold is worth
ll35 in New York, and ll3 to dealers
here. Local Investments are without
especial interest, except city bonds,
which seem to be in better demand than
for several months. The city skies re-
ported sold yesterday we're $4,000, in
stead Of 5000, as the types made us say,
the price being 55l@55sc. Past-due
coupons are wanted at 72l@75c, and a
'rumor was current on Madison street
this morning that parties who could see
through a mill stone were unable to buy
at even those prices, and would advance
rates to 76c or Tic if they could find
amounts to suit their purpose, which
just now is what mo fellah can find
out, bit it is stated by legal gentle
man of high standing that the ring,
when they get enough, will bring suit
against the city, and compel the author
tiles, by decision of the Courts, to re-
ceive the coupons in payment for taxes.
This, however, is one of dozen rumors
aaoat regarding the sudden apprecia-
ton Of the coupons, and we give it for
what is worth.

AERIAL TELEGRAPH.-A few DAYS
az" a bill incorporating the Loomis

not know what this company propose
to do: The proposition upon which

to the highest attainable peak of the
Alps. At each point a tower is to be
erected, on the top of which an appa-
ratus capable of concentrating cleo
tricity is To be put. by means of which,
1t IS claimed, a strata of atmosphere
Will be reached of peculiar electric
sensihility. 1t is claimed that the
slightest pulsation OF one tower will
produce a corresponding p~ulsation at
the other. The scheme seems to he a
wild one hut who. in this age of in
vention, will dare to say that it may
not he successful Enterprise.
