Family Groceries.

A full line of the freshest family gro
ceries can be found at the well-known
and popular house of j. Devote, Nos. II
and q Adams street, corner of Third.
Devote has just received a lot of the
finest Goshen butter, which is superior
to any that can be found in the Memphis
market. Everything known to the gro
Gerry business is kept at this establish
ment, and housekeepers will find it to
their advantage to call and examine the
goods, which will be sold at the lowest
prices and on the most favorable terms.
All goods purchased of Devote will, if
required, be delivered free of charge to
any part Of the city. The best goods are
always the cheapest, and here can they
be found by the public, as the proprietor
purchases the best of everything, and
makes selections with reference to the
Memphis trade.

Drunkenness In America and Eu-
rome. ~


The Hon. John NJ. Francis, late Min
lister to Greece, writes in his paper, the
Troy Times, about the drinking habits
OF Europe. He says that in France,
Italy, Spain, Germany and Greece,
where the consumption Of wine ia very
great, there is far less drunkenness than
in Great Britain or the United States
His opinion is that the substitution Of
the mild wine for the whisky so gen.
orally drank here would be reforma-
tory agency in checking intemperance.
The result o! his personal observation
in Spain was that wine shops met him
at every turn, but he rarely saw a
drunken man. Outside Of the English
and American colonists be knew of very
little drunkenness in Paris. In Ger
many he witnessed tremendous flow Of
lager, but believes the proportion Of con-
frmed inebriates there does not equal
one to twenty Of the same class here.
In Russia a liquor stronger than our
worst whisky is 1sed with bad results,
and in Great Britain the evil somewhat
approaches its extent in the United
States. Glasgow was the most drunken
city he saw abroad

Yesterday man named Edward John
son, and protesting to be deaf and dumb,
presented himself at the residence of a
lady on Commerce street, and made it
known that he was fortune teller. he
was writing medium, and after having
satisfied the curiosity of those present,
the ladies went out in order to get some
thing to eat and drink for the fortune
teller. During their absence the deaf
and dumb man was not idle, for he ram
sacked the house and picked up guam
tity of jewelry. He got away with the
plumber, but was arrested by the police.
Those who profess to know him say that
occasionally he can speak as well as the
average man; in fact, that the deaf and
dumb business is a swindle. The case
will be fully investigated before Esquire
Winters this afternoon, at bis office on
North Court street.

Alr, Jake Williams, who resides on
Matagorda island, found on the gulf
beach mound of sand thrown up by
the action of the waves, under which
was buried large quantity of white
wax, which he brought up to town.
The wax looked like it had been bu-
ried many years from its outside appear
ance looking rusty and old, but on
scraping the crust off the outside 1t
was as good as when first made. There
was also with the lot square cake of
wax, weighing fully twenty pounds,
that was picked up on the beach,
thrown up by the waves. For twenty
five years past it has been no unusual
thing to find large quantities of beau
tiful white wax on the gulf shore.
Many years since Spanish ship was
wrecked in this vicinity, portion of
her cargo being wax for the Catholic
missions in this state, then Mexican
territory, and this wax was, no doubt,
portion of that cargo, that is washed
ashore from the sunken wreck as 1t

tricity, as connected with the dental
surgery, delivered last month in Lon
don by Mr.. Thomas Brown, the
lecturer observed that it was popularity
considered that the practice of smok
ing deteriorated the teeth. HThere
could" he added, "be no greater falla-
cy. 1t was true that it sometimes
discolored the teeth, but it did not
cause decay; on the contrary, it pre-
vented decay on account of the disin-
fecting properties of tobacco smoke"
This leaves the British anti-tobacco
association, and other kindred bodies,
in very dlsagreeable position, for it
DESTROYS all confidence in the awful
predictions they are in the habit of
uttering as to the fate of smokers. If
tobocco does not injute the teeth, but
is, in fact, good for them, perhaps it
does not shorten life, but is even favor
able to ongevity.-[ Saturday Review.
