Our well known citizen Msj. B. S.Rhea,
while attending TO the shipment of lot Of
corn on the levee yesterday. met with a
rather bad accident. Standing in front Of
the corn, which was piled up ten feet high,
the corr gave way and rolled against him,
bruisiDg one thigh considerably, and ipjur-
ing The hip joint on the other leg consider
ably. He was removed to his residence in
South Nashville, and physician called to
his aid. His injuries were quite painful
last evening, and he will probably be con-
fined to his bed for week or more.

A Lisbon correspondent of the London
Ne,os gives some interesting gossip regard
ing the ex-King's doings. He says that the
King had been revolving the question of alb
dication in bis mind for several months.
His wife would never listen to the pro-
posal, 'and willingly spent her large fortune
in bcibiDg Carlist infofpers and other "nec-
essary WorA" of that sort. But the King
took advantage Of her confinement, and af-
ter making up his mind, sent for several of
the leading Republicans, and told them pri-
vately to prepare for the crisis. He was de-
sirous that the Republic should get trial
and fair start, and is said to be enjoying
now the CONSERVATION of the Versaillists,
the BourbonS, and Jesnits. The correspor-
dent mentions that His Majesty did not re-
move from the Palace at Madrid a single
picture or any of the articles of jewelry
which ne purchased while reigning, and
scrupulousiy paid up ali his debts.

This is the subject Of a lecture to be de-
tlvered at Masonic Temple on Sunday even
fng next. at half past O'Clock, by the Rev.
Eugene Shelby, of Rsth keaie, county OF
Limerick, ireland. This divine has made
fame as 2 lecturer in the cities Of the North

pardipg him by the press elsewhere, we are
assured that he handles his subject in 8
mastery manner. Taking for his basis OF
argument the great cardinal doctrine OF

nnr Fair Grounds.

Before the Legislature adjourned bill
was passed authorizing the Agricultural
and Mechanic Association to issue bones TO
relieve the Association from the debt now
due upon the grounds. These pond. VIII
bear eight per cent. interest, and are also by
the provisions of the law free from taxation,
with first mortgage on the property. The
General Agent will wait on the public
shortly to sell these bonds. Our citizens
will thea have an opportunity of relieving
the Association from debt. The investment
we are satisfied win be good one, and the
agent will doubtless have but little trouble
in disposing of all that's required.

A soHooLBoY,s IDEA OF HOGS.


A hog is big pig, but a little pig Amt a
big hog. There is kinds of hogs-White
hogs, black hogs, and 2-legged hogs. The
contrariest hog is the black hog, and the
meanest of all hogs is the legged hog. If
you want 10 drive hog anywhere, you
must drive 'em the contrary way. Hogs is
like women in that respect, you can drive
'em better by coaxing. In other ways hogs
amt like women except, daddy says, they
are never satisfied and Away q grunting.
Women wear earrings in their ears, hogs
wear 'em in their nose. Daddy says that's
so they can't nose it. Hogs is very useful.
A hogs head holds water, and bis tail
makes nice whistle; but Daddy says you
can't make silk purse ous Of a hogs ear.
A hog has ten legs; two 4legs, that's S, aud
2 hind legs, that's 10. Folks call 'em hams.
Daddy like ham best; he says he has had
cold shoulder 50 often he's tired Of it.
Some hogs is fat, and some isn't; a good
hog always has a curly tail. Daddy saysit
is like the Esq. TO mans name, more for
ornament than anything else. Daddy's
hog wss fat once, but he amt now. Dad
dy had 10 tie knot in his tail 10 keep him
from crawling through the boards Of the
pen. He got out once, and came back
with ever 80 many little hogs. Daddy Gays
that was doing very well, but don't be-
lieve it, else he'd let 'em out again. like
killing time, cause Daddy gives me the blad-
ders to blow up for footballs. Nanny
booked the biggest one to make pightcap.
There must be 2 kinds ofnightcaps. Dad
dy takes his out Of bottle. suppose I'll
know how it is myself when I grow bigger.
Daddy has got his nightcap, and says If I
don't SO TO bed he'll make me squeal like a
pig.

Memphis and Little Rock Railroad.


Fhe Memphis Register, March 26, says:
"We are informed that the recent purchase
of the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad,
which was made By Mr.. Wade, was for Mr..
Wilt and associates, of Cleveland, Ohio,
and that Messrs. W. B. Greenlaw and Sam
Ts5e, of this city, retain their interest in the
road, the latter being its President. The
sale was made for the payment Of the Sec
ond mortgage bonds Of one million dol
lars, and the purchase was made by the
above named parties for fifteen thousand
dollars. The effect of this sale is
to obliterate or wipe out the debt
of abont $4,000 which he road owed to
the city of Memphis, and the indebtedness
on the second mortgage bonds, and all float
ing indebtedness of any character of the
corporation, except the first mortgage bonds
Of 81 100000, the debt to the State Of Ar
kansas of Sl,20O,000, and the judgment of
W. B. Greenlaw of $4,000. We remem-
Der q contract made by soma of the owners
of this road to build branch from DuvalPs
Bluff to Pine Bluff, which has never been
done. We are also informed that claim
against the United States Govern
ment of $4,000 is likely to be paid
500 to the present owners of the road.
If his be true, with the immense debt so
easily disposed of, we see no reason why
the new company shall not at once comply
with its promise, and also put the main
road in good order. The city of Memphis,
which is so vitality interested in this road,
and which at one fell sToop loses nearly a
million of dollars contributed to its con-
struction, certainly has some claim to de-
mand that the road be put in good order,
as the new company are certainly S0le to
do it, now that it has been relieved of so
ponderous a debt without paying or incur
ring sny obligation for it.

More of E;V. WILSON'S wonders.

The following we fad in An exchange:
During lecture at Bay City, Mr.. Wilson
said to a man who sat in the rear of the
house: ave see with this man a woman;
she is his sister, and she gives me the fol-
lowing facts: We see him in q struggle with
horse; be is thrown and severely hurt.
He is eleven years old. At fifteen years of
age we see him struggling in the water
with another whom he rescues from drown
ing" Then read his character as a man,
described his father and mother. "What
say you, sir, TO this reading-are we right
or wrong?" Slowly the man rose up, ask
ING, "Do ycu mean me, sir?" ayes; and
we do not want you to favor u.s." swell,
cir, shall not. don't Know how you do
these things, for am not a Spiritualist, nor
have l ever seen yop before; and yet, every
word you have spoken is tTEe. The incl
dent as to being with tie horss is Eemarka-
bly, true. The scar is here on my forehead
tonight. In fact, it is wonderfully true"
