pean trees. The back of each volume
Is formed Of the bark of a tree, the sides
of the perfect wood, the top Of young
wood and the bottom Of old. When
opened, the book is found to contain
the flower, seed, fruit, and leaves of the
tree, either dried or initiated in wax.
At the Melbourne Colonial Exhibition
of 1865, Col. Clamp exhibited speci-
mems of Victorian wood converted into
small boxes of book form, according to
design suggested by that gentleman at
the Victorian Exhibition of 1851, and
then suggested by Baron Ferd Mueller.
Nothing could be more convenient and

books, representing the different timber
of various countries, which could be
systematically. or alphabetically .or
geographically arranged. Australia
could alone furnish of such collection
more than a thousand volumes.

tural gas drawn from an abandoned oil

been increased about thirty-three per
cent. since the gas was first used, about
seven months ago. The iron made by
the use of gas commands from $40 to
$50 per ton more than the same class of
iron made by the same firm at other
works where coal is used for fuel. This
natural how of gas is plentiful in that

Ere and Lie INSURANCE.

The New Orleans Insurance Company,
of New Orleans, Louisiana, is one of
those sterling fire insurance companies
that commands large share of public
patronage. 1t has a cash capital of half
million and cash surplus Of 5000, 900,
making the total assets about $1,000
The resident agent in this city is James
A. Warner, No. II Madison street.
Mr.. Warner is also agent of the Mu-
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company,
of Newark New Jersey, which has assets
of over $3OOOO,OOO. The average ex-
penses of this company during the past
thirty years are lo%er and the average
dividends larger than any life insurance
company in the United States, this com
pany giving a larger amount of insur'
ance for less amount of money than can
be offered by any company. Mr.. War
ner is prepared to take life policies on
all plans at old rates in this reliable in
stitution.

The failure to pass the civil rights bill
in Congress has caused the high toned
and leading political nigs" of the city
to indulge freely in profanity, because
they cannot plant their hoofs in our
hotels, theaters, restaurants, concert
rooms and other places which their
betters, the white people, patronize.
A correspondent writes that if the
young gentleman with pathetic voice,
who serenades his lady love on certain
street in Memphis will commence his
warblings at ten instead Of one at night,
and take, say four nights out Of the
week, instead Of seven, he will confer
lasting favsr upon the neighbors, and
avoid making the gentlemen break one
of the commandments
The Radical party in this city ard
county is adrift, like black piratical
ship in mid ocean, 1t has but few white
leaders, and they all hold Offices under
either the United States or city govern
ment, Many of these political leaders
are ashamed to admit to white men that
they favor the success Of the vile party,
with its rank and file of beastly igno-
rance and intense hatred to the white
race.
Our Ledger Liner, while sauntering
beneath an umbrella through the differ
ent wards of the city this forenoon, was
presented with sixteen different tickets,
and was invited to vote each of them,
In his own ward, the Fourth, he was
presented with several sets of tickets,
and how to vote this afternoon is now
the matter to be gravely considered
while taking his daily siesta.
The General Council should abolish
the wharfage tax in toto. The city has
no more right to collect wharfage from
steamboats, than collect taxes from rail
road trains. The reduced wharfage
ordinance passed at the last meeting of
the General Council has not as yet been
signed by the Mayor, and will probably
be vetoed. The ordinance reduces
somewhat the perquisites of the negro
Wharfmaster Shaw. Abolish the wharf
age altogether. 1t is G villainous impo-
sition on commerce.
Is it not about time to let the Lois
Carol" controversy rest? Lois is
bored to death not only by adverse
critics but by gushing friends. Those

merits, and after having paid their
money can take their choice between
praise and censure. Our Ledger Liner

Here we found the vehicle which was
to convey us to the springs, a distance
of eight miles, waiting, and were soon
off through the shady woods, making
good time up hill and down. This eoun-
try road is the smoothest we know Of in
the State. 1t has been well worked by
the proprietors Of the Springs, so that in
an hour and twenty minutes we reached
Bon Aqua and were welcomed by La
Prade and Patteson, Superintendent
and Treasurer, and assigned comfortable
quarters. Children were running here
and there, making the place noisy with
their play and laughter, riding in boats
freshly painted and new, on the lake

the management of Mr.. Selden, of Mem
phis, the President Of the Company.

tive; the water is cold and of several
varieties, all the springs save one, and
that has such volume as not to admit of
it, having been carefully shut in With
marble basins. The fare is much better
than is usually found at watering places,
there being an abundance of hard, yell
low country butter, milk, chickens beef
and the various things that go to make
up good living. There is good bar,
good billiard tables, new ten-pin alley
and a good string band.

When one considers how cool and

the wonder is thas-the rooms are not all
