REAL ESTATE AC1IvIrY.-lt is sad that
there is considerable activity in real estate in
this city, and that while other kinds of proper

estate holds up and in many instances is higher

a gentleman conversaut with such transactions
remarked yesterday that lots of land which
could be purchased for small consideration a
few years since, are now held and sold at forty
or fifty cents foot.

THE DUTY OF MEMPHIS.

Three years ago when thousands
fed terror-stricken from the
plague in our midst, and strong
men became as weak aud undecided
as children; when the destroyer
stalked abroad at MONDAY, and the
pail of despair hung over our fair
city, the whole country sent us
means of relief and expressions Of
tender sympathy. We are re-
minded of these terrible days Of
fear, suffering, death and desolatlon
by an appeal that comes up from
Savannah. Our sister city was
quick to respond when we were in
distress, and sent us not only money
and supplies but strong-hearted,
noble men to encourage the sick, to
soothe the dying. We have watched
the course of yellow fever at Savan-
nah with deep interest, and hoped
from day to day to be able to
announce its abatement. But the
report this morning is exceedingly
unfavorable and fearful. Thou.
sands had fled from the city a
week ago, and yet there were
twenty-three deaths from yellow
fever yesterday. An appeal has
been made for aid. Memphis
ought to be one of the first places
to respond. We have a fund here
a surplus of over $40, 900, from thu
large donations sent us from abroad
This is held by the Howard AssOci
alton in trust. 1t belongs, prop
erly, to those who may be afflicted
as we we're, in any part of thu
country,an cannot be rightly use(
otherwise. The benevolent associa
tions of Savannah will be glad t,
receive aid for the sick and desti
tute. Let the Howard Associa
ton, through its proper officers
notify the benevolent association 0
Savannah that a certain sum, So,
two thousand dollars, of this fun
has been placed to their credit t
be checked upon if needed. Tn
main fund should not be reduce
without due cause, but we have n
/, moral right to hold on to it tens
ciously with a view to some futul
and, doubtless, remote epidemi
when such suffering exists in
neighboring city.

BERLIN, September 14.-The
former independence of the Polish
administrative authorities has been
abolished by Russia, and the office
of Secretary of State for Poland is

LONDON, September 14.-A spe-
cial from Paris to the News says it
is rumored that Count de Cham
bord is dangerously i'll in conse-
quence of the penitential rigors to
which he subjected himself during
the retreat of nine days. The same
dispatch says the proposed eleva-
ton, at the Pope's wish, Of Father
Beck, General of the Jesuits, to s
c%ardinalate, is a great event in the
Catholic world. Father Beck is
the future candidate of the Ultra
montana party for the papacy.
His election would tend to %accele-
rate the old Catholic movement in
central Europe, and could not fail,
should the Republic go on prosper
ing, to sever church and state in
France.

The efficiency of both departments

candidates an opportunity to set
