Asbestos |
A WONDERFUL MINERAL AND ITS USES.

Visitors ut the Pavilion should be sure and
examine the display Of II. w. Johns patent
Asbestos materials, which forms an i'm
portant feature Of the present exhibition.
Asbestos Is u wonderful mineral, understandable
by fire or acids, and differs from all other
known mineral substances in possessing
tibrcs resembling silk or flax, some varieties
of " hich can be spun, woven and feltcd, pro-
ducing cloth, felted sheets, paper, thread, etc.
A tissue OF Asbestos paper will Withstand the
hottest flame, and the mineral itself posses
ses several other valuable properties, being q
natural lubricant, v non-conductOr of heat,
and capable Of receiving and retaining the
most brilliant cOlOrs. Under II. w. Johns
patent, Asbestos il utilized In combination
with other materials In the manufacture Of
articles for structural and mechanical pur.
poses, and at the Pavilion 1t 10 exhibited in
its crude state and also as manufactured
into roofing, house and roof tire.prO paints,
pipe and boiler covering, cement felting
steam packing, Asbestos paper, board, etc
AsbssADs roofing, for steep or fiat roofs, has
everywhere received the endorsement Of the
most extensive builders, manufacturers and
cool, handsome and yet inexpensive roof,
which Is air tight, practically fre.proof, and
an effective nOn-conductOr Of heat. Asbestos
paints are strictly reliable, first.class paints,
second to none In purity, richness and per-
manency of color, beauty OF finish, durability,
and all characteristics which are requisite to
form a perfect protective covering. They
also withstand the action Of salt water at
mosphere and other severe tests where the
best white lead has failed. In fact, the re-
markable qualities Of all Of II. w. Johns As.
bestos goods are becoming generally admit
ted, aud we should suggest to capitalists,
property owners and foundrymen, that ii
would be money saved to adopt Asbestos
materials wherever practicable. Messrs.
Thompson g. Epson, No. First street, are
the Pacific Coast agents for the above goods,
to whom all orders should be addressed.
The Asbestos goods here alluded to are
shown at the right of the main entrance, in
the rear Of the display OF saws. II. But

TWO FIRES LAST NIGHT.

bustiOR the Causes.

At 2 o'clock a fire broke out in the rag
store Of Mr.. Gabsy, situated on Beal
street. The police on the beat succeed.
ed in extinguishing the flames before any
damage was done.
About 8 o'clock last evening a fire was
discovered in an clubhouse or shed adjoin-
ing the reformstory house Of the La
dies Christian Association, situated on
Promenade street. The iremen extin-
guished the flames with buckets of water.
The FIRE steamers we're not ordered out.
The fire was discovered beneath the
flooring. During the progress of the
flames the inmates we're in a great state
OF confusion, and we're most difficult to
keep quiet. This FIRE is believed to have
been the work of an incendiary. But
little damage was done.

Mrs. Henrietta Chsnfrau, Mr.. FraHk
Chanirau and Mr.. W. T. Durand. an in.
surance man of this city, sat at the din.
ner table at the Newell House. chatting
over their roast duck and a bottle of
claret. One of the tables was occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs Chanfrau and Mr. Tav.
%leure, their agent. Directly opposite
and on a line was aE5ther table occupied
by Will Durand. Mrs. Chaufrau was at
the head of the table, so that her Vlanees
caught the eye of the insurance man.
That there was any real Irritation was not
suspected until the jealousy OF Mr..
Chantrau attracted the attention OF Mr..
Durand.
Mr.. Durand noticed that Mr.. Chan.
frau rested uneasily, and took exception
to the attentive glances that he was be-
slowing on the pretty actress. Mr..
Chanfrau's distress only increased Mr..
Durand's attentions. The husband was
unable to contain himself. He was
llvtd with rage, and got up from the table
and requested his wife to change her
chair. Mrs. Chantrau complied with the
request, bat continued 10 cast furtive
glances at the insurance man over her
shoulder. Mr.. Chanfrau watched every
movement Of the two, and grew more
jealous as the play continued. His agent
~endeavored to attract his attention by a
rambling conversation, and did his best
to avert the trouble he saw was impend-
ing. At last Mr.. Chanfrau could submit
40 longer to the little social drama. He
arose from his chair, advanced to the
table occupied by the insurance man,
and seizing him by the collar, tried to
eject him from the room. The excite.
msnt grew intense at this point, and a
crowd OF spectators arose from their
tables to see the fun.
Mr.. Chanfrau threatened and used
very loud language; the insurance man
potested that be was doing nothing unbe-
comlsg a gentleman, and said he was
prepared to take the consequences of
his Oehaviar. Mrs. Chanfrau took sidea
with the unlucky insurance man, and
tried her best to pacify her husband, and
the agent, with much difficulty, persuaded
Mr. Chanfrau not to assault Mr., Duraud.
and at last took Mr.. Chantrau from the
dining room. The husband was not in
the least satisfied with the commotion he
had created, and paced up and down the
hallway waiting to settle the affair with
Durand. Tbs insurance man, with more
discretion than valor, went out of the
hotel by the rear entrance.

Very few intoxicated men are seen on
the streets of this city either by day OF
by night. The time was when such
sights were far from being rare, but now
q change has taken place. This change
may be accounted for by the increased
consumption OF lager beer and the de.
creased consumption of whisky in con.
sequence. Whisky produces the fight.

Now cometh the young man to his
tailor, and saith unto him: Build me
an overccat, and make me a pocket in
the sleeve thereof, Of the space of three
inches wide, that a maiden's hand may
go in. And see thou build the pocket
right wei against my funny-bone. For
it shall come to pass that she shall say
unto me, Go to, now and shall tell me
that | am horrid, and squeeze my arm "

mysterious Assault and battery

Mysterious Assault and Battery.
Quite a little sensation was stirred up
at twelve o'clock to-day on the corner of
Main and Madison streets, by q youthful
looking, well-dressed white woman who
confronted and slapped the face Of a
welldressed white man. Neither party
seem to be known by those who witnessed
the startling affair. A few words passed
between the two, but they were unheard
by the bystauders. After committing the
assault the woman went one way and the
man another. No arrests we're made by
the police. The Baconian system Of logic,
reasoning from results back to cause,
will afford no clue to this mystery. The
system Of Aristotle, known as the Peri.
patetic system, reasoning from cause to
effect, can Ionly be Investigated by the
man and the woman who played the re.
spective roles.

Since yesterday morning, we have re-.
ceived authentic information that the
view presented by us in regard to the
singleness Of the proposition to be con.
sidered by the legislature, was strictly
correct. The sixty per cent. proposition.
submitted by the States creditors, ia not
susceptible Of auy modification what.
ever. The legislature must accept and
adopt that or nothing. The terms Of the
governors proclamation, in effect, limit
the Jurisdiction Of the legislature to the
consideration of that proposition. Be-
sides, were there no such restriction. the
adoption OF any lower rate of compro-
mise would be utterly useless, since the
creditors will not accept less. 1t was
with great reluctance that many of them
finally assented to the sixty cent proposi.
ton, after months Of persuasion on the
part OF some Of their associate creditors.
1t is idle, therefore, to enter into a dis.
c%ussion regarding different rates of com.
promise, There is but one before the
people or the legislature. The creditors
say to Tennessee: "Will you pay US
three fifths Of what you owe us, il we
forever release yon from paying the other
two-hfthsY' YES" or NO" must be
the answer, and the only answer.

SHIRTS BY MACHINERY.

A new invention has just
been perfected by Mr.. May,
the shirt manufactures of this
city, by which he can cut per-
feet fitting shirts and make
them to order at greatly re-
duced prices. The machine
will be ready for operation in
a few days, when all who
would indulge in the luxury
of a good shirt will call on SIR.
May, at 257 Main street, and

Police and Rev ards.

In the Eighth Bush. Kentucky reports
it is held that q regular officer of the law
has no right to claim rewards. The de.
cision was applied to a recent vase where
a Louisville police officer claimed the
reward offered for the recovery Of stolen
money. II was held, however, that "the
claim of the officer was illegal, asa police
officer had no right to claim a reward, it
being in the line of his duty to arrest
thieves and return property to the right
full owner, without receiving any COM
p~ensation except his regular salary paid
by the city" This is good law and sound
sense, and should be the rule in Memphis
as in Louisville.
