Nine. Ristori's profile is just what it
was when she came here twenty years ago
to act Medea. Her step is elias ic and
neck upright. She dresses at home in
plain black cashmere, fitting faultlessly
to her figure, which is of feeble cast Her
hair is also plainly arranged and is well
preserved. Ristori My comes to Paris
on business. She has built houses here on
speculation, which she lets in flats. Her
own habitation is maison bourgeois on
the Boulevard Malesherbes, which is let
in flats. Theirs lived in it in the summer
of 1873 on the entresol. Ristori's part is
large first floor. reached by separate
stair. Except by the porte cochere it is
cut off from communication with the rest
of the house. The walls and ceiling of
the staircase are decorated with fresco-
paintings by Italian artists. The idea
they impart to the stranger ascending is
that ,emounts to temple of the MUSES..
One is struck from the moment one passes
through at the street door with the alb
sence of bourgeois vulgarity. The con-
cierge is dressed like a man-servant. He
and his wife are Italians. and the latter
has the finest head of black hair, / sup.
pose, in Paris. They both have kind.
pleasant manner in the discharge of their
janitorial functions. At the top of the
private stairs the door is opened either by
grave maitre d'hotel Or by Nine. Risto-
ri's femme de chambre. The visitor asksfor
'1a Marquise del Grillo," the tragc-
denne's title or for "AIle. Bian-
ca del Grillis." A richly fur,
nished drawing room is entered by YES
tibule, rather exiguous to be in keeping
with the rest of the habitation, and par.
ticularly with the mural decorations. One
does not rapidly catalogue the articles Of
furniture in the drawing-room. The har-
mony is too perfect for any one object to
catch the eye more than another, unles,

about twenty, fair, slender, ladylike and
chatty without being talkative. She
speaks French and English fuently, but
with a slight Italian accent. There is a
readiness to oblige in her which enhan-
ces her youthful attractions. Last week
she went to a world of trouble to order and
superintend the making of wedding out
fits for two young friends of hers, one Of
whom is in Germany and the other in
Italy. Her taste and judgment are very
sure, and she took care that no exorbi-

less struck in conversing with her by her
good senses than by the gracefulness Of
her manner. Nine. Ristori has not when
in Paris any day for receiving. The po-
litical events of the last nine years have
dispersed her friends here, the Theatre
Ventadour has been demolished and she
is glad to enjoy quiet after the Roman

qualification was spoiled by the Asso-
clated Press agent, who attempted to pick
his pocket of his handkerchief in the.
midst of his speech Of thanks.
"Gentlemen," remarked the Secretary,
II object to being robbed on one side
while l am being stuffed ON the other"
This remark conyulsed the meeting,
soon after which its business was speedily
brought to close.
A great many phenomena have been
developed by the epidemic, but one of
them is OF too great Importance to pass
in silence. Every time-piece in the city
was twenty minutes fast, with the excep-
ton of the clock at the telegraph office.
The city time was regulated by the bell
at st. Peters Cathedral, and it is sup
posed that the house-girl turned up the
sections clock in order to be on time at
the trysting place one evening ard forgot
to turn it back. The bell of st. Peters
was the only standard, as Memphis boasts
no town-clock, and all the jewelers. were
closed. OF course it is CALLING to Mem
phian to acknowledge that his city has
no town-clock, but it is fact neverthe-
less, and it is to be hoped that while con-
templating improvements in public
works this fall this fact will
be noted. The principal question now,
however, is that of sewerage, and it is
generally conceded that Memphis will
have the same thing to undergo every
year as this unless the city is severed.
The cheapest estimate made shows the
cost of the work to be not less than
$3,00O,O 900, which, in the eyes of tax
ridden Memphians, ,is an enormous amount
and insurmOuntable obstacle; besides, it
is yet an open question whether or not
the United States Supreme Court will
declare in favor of the act creating the
Taxing District, our present form of
government. This is a question of deep
interest to the entire West, and affects
Northern and Eastern cities as we'll. 1t
is stated that Chicago, st. Louis and Gin
cinnati were losers to the extent of some
millions each by the Memphis epidemic
of '7S, by being deprived of large trade
which those cities do with Memphis.
The agitated question is, would it not be
wise stroke Of policy in those cities to
assist in firmly establishing such an i'm
portant market, the real gateway of the
Southern trade. In all other respects
except that of epidemics Memphis is one
of the healthiest cities in the Union, but
this one fault must be remedied, or il
will suffer immeasurably. 1t cin not be
entirely annihilated, for if nothing else
it will still live as a cotton market, mer
chants will make arrangements TO run 8
house here during the cotton season, ant
locate elsewhere during the balance ol
the year.
Al present business is beginning t.
boom, and cotton is fairly "boiling" in.
The country around for a radius o.
two hundred miles is in warm sympathy
with Memphis, and will give her it
whole support. As always after panic
so after this epidemic, business will b.
conducted on solid basis, and notwith
standing the fact that Memphis has los
a large amount Of cotton, it is hoped tina
it will not suffer as severely az was at frs
supposed. NED WILLoUGHBY.

and perceived that one..ef the boards had,
just where it joined the floor, . loose cor
ner half split off. Could he complete
the fracture, there would be hole large
enough to give him, if he lay his head
upon the tieor, fairly good view OF the
den beyond.
But how tocomplete it? OF Macpher-
sons presence there was no getting rid,
and wood can not be split without making
tell-tale noise. Once broken, nothing
would be easier than to restore the irreg-
ular triangle to its place, trusting to
chance for. its non-0bservance on Sadie's
side the division, and upon the other
putting in front Of it some one of the
many light packages that stood behind
the bar.
For several days Hugh watched his
opportunity in vain.
At length, late one evening, the "Edo-
RADIO" being full of miners, and the drink
ing and gambling at its height, there
suddenly arose one of those hOt-headed
disputes over the cards, which so fire.
guently end in bloodshed. Two men
were playing in corner, when one OF
them sprapg up, gave utterance to tor
rent of oaths and accusations of unfair
play, dashed his half of the pack full in
the others face, and clapped his hand
behind to draw forth his bowie-knife.
Upon which tho second man, rising too,
whipped out his revolver, and fired, but
merely grazed his adversary.
AT once the minershurried to the spot,
and Macpherson, whom neither knife
nor pistol ever scared, put stop to the
affray.
The bar was thus left to Hugh alone;
and, quick as thought, he dropped be-
hind it, and under cover of the din of
voices and overturned furniture, tore
out the triangular loose bit of wood, has
tily replaced it, and moved against it a
half-empty wooden case containing bot
ties Of brandy packed in straw. All this
WAS done in less time than it takes tc
write of the transaction; and when Hugh
stood up again, the hubbub was not hall
over, and the interest in the gambling
incident was still SO keen that it looked
as though no one, not even Seth W
Jones himielf, had noticed the barman'l
apparently eccentric conduct.
When at last the evening had worr
away, the saloon doors had been closed
and master and man had retired till tn,
morrow, Hugh Mostyn had never beel
more wide awake. He lay down in hi
accustomed corner, though not, as usual
to fall into the deep slumber which
naturally follows hard days labor, bu
to wait till the faint light from Macphcr
sons den should shine through tn
cracks of the partition. When his EN-
ployer had disappeared within his sane
tum, and shot-to the inside bolt, never
failing signal that the old man had re
tired till morning, the young one a
once pushed aside the half-empty case
50 that, should he need to remove the tran
gular piece of wood, he could do so with
out trouble, and without noise.
