evening last, at the office of Thomas II.
Allen A Co., a number of oar leading
merchants and business men met at t li
Chamber of Commerce yesterday evening
at four o'clock, to take further action in
the matter of the Arkansas Kiver Packet
Company. Col. K. M. Apperson occupied
the Chair and Mr. Criamon acted as sec
retary. Mr. Owen, Chairman of the Committee
sppointed at the former meeting to con
fer with Capt. Adams, President of the
Arkansas River Packet Company, re
ported as follows:
REPORT.
The undersigned, a committee appoint
ed at a meeting of the merchants of Mem
phis, held at the oountiug-rootus of Thos.
H. Allea d Co.. November 3, ltm, to
prepare resolutions expresaive of the
sense of the meeting in relation to secur
ing the control of a line of packets run
ning to and from this citv into the waters
of the Arkansas, have bad the same un
der consideration, and beg leave to sub
mit the following:
The proposition of the President of the
Memphis and Arkansas River Packet
Company has been placed in our hands.
It appears that $1'J7,000 stock has been
subscribed and paid up; that of this only
? - . " is owned in Memphis; that this
Company hag a line of steamers exceeding
in value yj' . admirably adapted to
run from this city into the "rivers of Ar
kan is; that the property owned by the
company is largely in excess of the stock,
and that it is desirable that the citizens of
Memphis sulwcribe stock sufficient to give
them the control of the lino; that, in case
of the subscrijition of the required addi
tional amount of stock, the lioats, barges,
and other property of the company shall
! appraised by disinterested persons so
le -ted bv the stockholders, and that tin
Aar ..... tka . .,, ii, a
amount of iaiXJ.000, ai-cording to the ap-
praised value, shall be turned over witfc-
out any debt or encumWranc upon it
whatever.

ined the charter under which theoompany
has i n organized, and lind that it was
... . . . . - J
granted by the legislature ot tins .Mate,
November 17, 1806, and is in due form.
Your committee have had their atten
tion called to the efforts w hich have been
recently made by the merchants of New
Orleans to establish a packet company
from their city to run to White river, and
they are not unmindful of the efforts
made and subsidies granted in Louisville,
Cincinnati and other cities to establish
lines of steamers into the waters of Ar
kansas to secure a trade which, by con
tiguity and geographical position, belongs
to the city of Memphis. Your committee
deem it of the utmost importance to se
cure a permanent packet line in theirown
interest ana under their entire control,
and would, therefore, recommend the
adoption of the following resolutions:
Jteaolved, That we deem it vitally im
portant to the trade and business inter
ests of this city that such action be taken
as shall secure to its merchants and citi
zens the entire control of a permanent
lirse of packets to ply to and from this
citv into the rivers ol Arkansas.
Ilesulwd, That while we see the efforts
now being made by the merchants of New
Orleans to establish a packet line in the
exclusive interests ol that city, and also
the subsidies that have been given and
proposed to other similar enterprises in
Louisville, Cincinnati and St. Louis, we
should not be unmindful of the interests
of Memphis, but ought, without delay.
take such action as will secure to us the
trade which by right of contiguity, geo
graphical jHjsition and association belongs
to us.
Uemlveil, That, inasmuch as the Presi
dent of the Memphis and Arkansas Kiver
Packet Company has offered the control
of said packet liuc to the citizens of Mem
phis, provided they subscribe stock, so as
to raise the present amount (which is
f 127,000) to fJbO.OOO, and has offered to
turn over the steamboats, barges and
other property to the amount of two hun
dred thousand dollars, to be appraised by
disinterested persons selected by the
stockholders without any indebtedness or
incumbrance whatever attaching thereto,
it is therefore recommended to the mer
chants and citizens of Memphis that they
subscribe the required amount of stock,
and secure thereby the entire control of
said line.
VieWi (f, That we do not desire to favor
or discriminate against any line of packets
to or from this city, but wish to encour
age alike any and every enterprise and
desire tu compare and reconcile every
ii. .in- u nui- .uriiiiiuin,
Jletoli-fd, That, in our opinion, the trade
and travel brought to tbis city bv this
line from Arkansas is as large and of as

HEBREW FAIR.
We understand that the members of the
Temple, corner of Main and Exchange
streets, of which Rev. Dr. Tuska is Pastor,
propose holding a Fair next week, the
proceeds of which will be applied for tbe
iMHietit of the Temple. It Is to be hoped
that the good work of the ladies and gen
tlemen of tbe Temple will pro.ve, in the
highest sense, remunerative, and that the
result will be such as to meet their expec
tations and the necessities of their organ
ization. Our Hebrew fellow-citizens sel
dom make an appearand seldom resort to
expedients other than of direct aubscrip
tion, in aid of their charities and syna
gogues, while they are accounted among
the most liberal-givers," for all purposes,
that we haveinoureommuuirv. This fact
should be remembered to their credit,
and we hope will be, during next week,
when their Fair should be well attended
and be made profitable. '

THE RAILROAD IMBROGLIO.
Further from the Sea' of

War around
We find the following: in regard to tho
Little Kock railroad imbroglio, in the Ga
zette of Tuesday:
"The difficulties which haTO arisen in
regard to the control of tiie Memphis and
regai
; u,t,e Rw.k i,,,
nave not yet ikmi
- it led. After verbally agreeing on Fri
day afternoon that the' road should con
tinue to run in the custody of the law, to
abide the decision of the oourts, the attor
neys in attempting to express the under
standing in writing, failed to agree on the
terms, and separated without an under
standing. The old Hoard agents remained
in possession and ran the train to Devall's
Mint' Friday night. In an altercation
arrising from this cirnumstanco be
tween Mahan, President of the new
Hoard, ax-eompanied by Vance and
Grove, and R. I). Williams, Superintend
ent under the old Board, the former are
charged w ith an assault with deadly wea
pons against the last-named, arrested and
released on bail. General Catterson, nddly
enough, in view of his personal relations
with some members of the new Board, has
been appointed an aid of Williams, as as
sistant superintendent by the old Board.
The new Board withdrew their writ of
injunction issued by the County Clerk on
Monday, and presenting a new petition to
a judge of the .Supreme Court, have ob
tained a fi( for a second writ. A war
rant was likewise issued for the arrest of
Williams, Catterton and other employees
of the old Board, who were released by
Judge Yonley under recognizance to ap
pear before him on Monday next. The
property of the road is held now by the
! new Hoard.
The following is from the Memphis cor-
i respondent ol the Nashville UHOSI and
Amrriatn, of Wednesday, on the same
subject: "Alter my letter was mailed,
i which recited the facts as I gathered them
from newspapers and other sources, af
fecting the Little Kock Railroad, I en-
I countered an intelligent gentleman, more
j thoroughly than myself conversant with
' the facts of the case. T know none of
those who have reorganized the Little
Kock Railroad I'ompanvin Arkansas, and
would not cause i ue i nmn ana American
' become an agency of wrong to any one.
! fl is. however. curious affair, and will
lonK remembered in American railway
history.

" Such is a proximately correct state
ment of the condition of this great work,
as essential to the future prosperity of
Tennessee and perfection of our railway
system, as to the progress and aggrandize
ment of Arkansas. It is slleged that the
affairs of the corporation have been hor
ribly mismanaged. For fifteen years the
road has dragged its slow length along
across the swamps of Arkansas, and it
may be true that the movement beyond
the river, which I condemned so harshly,
had its origin in better motives than those
ascribed to Jim Fisk. It seems, too, that
the corporate authorities of Memphis were
notified to attend the stockholders' meet
ing in Arkansas, by which the revolution
was effected. l"nder this stale of facts, it
is probable that the new organization will
coalesce practically with the old; that ne
gotiations recently effected in New York
will be adopted and recognized by the
new managers of the corporation, and that
the work will be safely and rapidly per
fected. Such hopes are surely indulged
by many citizens of Memphis, stockhold
ers in the company, and I would regret it
if anything I have written should militate
against this result."

HOW IT 18 DONE.
Another Way of Putting Ms.iey in the Purse
of Radical Office-holders.
Noticing several enormous piles of doc
uments in the Sheriff's office yesterday,
narked state of Tennessee vs.
Veri t'aeia," we thought we would take
a peep into and learn the contents of some
of them. We found they were all orders
from Judge Hudson, of the Criminal
Court, to the Sheriff to collect the follow
ing sums from delinquent jurors:
Fine for contempt 825 no
Attorney-General u 50
Clerks' fees 2 85
Total fcso 35
We asked the ever polite and courteous
A. J. Wheeler how many ot these " liery
faces " he had. ' About five hundred, '
was the reply.
We then began to examine the names,
and ask afew questions as to how so many
jurors came to commit contempt, and the
matter was thus explained :
When some case comes np on which
there is a probability of there being some
difficulty in empanelling a jury, the order
is given to the sheriff to summon five
hundred or a thousand jurors. The Sher
iff obeys orders, and issues his summons,
proceeding in the regular way. The Jury,
bowever, is picked out of the first lifty,
sixty or hundred that come along. The
others, learning this fact, think that it is
not necessary to put in an appearance. In
this, however, it seems they are fooled,
for the Judge has, in every sncb case
where the party is able to pay it, issued
his fieri arias as above.
We are informed that in every instance,
so far, the contempt fine ($25)" has been
remitted, but the Attorney-General's and
Clerk's fees are collected with scrupulous
punctuality.
In the Leonard case, there were one
thousand jurors ordered to be summoned,
and meanwhile a change of renu was
granted. In spito of, and after the change,
the same order was niado in regard to all
those who did not come up and answer to
their names.
If this is not au outrage on a communi
ty, we would like to know what it is?
A MERITORIOUS WORK OF ART.
In the Hall of Rocco Building, corner of
Second and Madison streets, there is on
exhibition a work of art, by Mr. Julio,
entitled tbe " Heroes of Cham-ellorville."
It is a meritorious work, that, in view of
the subjects treated, possesses unusual
interest for the people of the South. The
heroes mof Charjcellorvillc, it is hardly
necessary for us to say, were Lee and
Stonewall Jackson. The painting in view
represents them, the lirst mounted on his
well-known gray charger, the latter on
the equally well-known sorrel, so thor
oughly identified with Jackson by the sol
diers of his corp. Lee is seated upon b is
hor.e, in an easy, graceful, but soldier
like way, his gloved right hand pointing
in the direction of the enemy. Jackson
sits his horse obliquely facing his
beloved chief, slightly bent over
in an earnest and listening atti
tude, with his right hand resting upon
the back of his horse, which, with his
head bent to the earth, and loose of rein,
..ims the ground impatiently. In the
lackground, to the right of the painting
aa the visitor looks, three staff officers are
painted in a dim relief, securing their
identity and giving them prominence
without marring the general effect had
in view by the artist. In the back
ground, to the left, there is a nice little
bit of perspective, embracing the distant
blue-topped, misty Virginia hills, made
more misty by the ascending smoke of
the camp-fires of the army, whose tents
are (supposed to bej spread in the valley
below. In tbe foreground, the accessories
and details are complete, even to tbe mi
nutest of the wild tlora and fauna of the i
region where the great battle was fought
a region inseparably linked with the glo
rious record of the heroes whom Mr. Julio
basso admirably and so artistically per
petuated on canvass. The "Heroes of
Chancellorville" is a decided work of art :
the beginning, we hope, of a series that
shall perpetuate the deeds and prowess of
tbe gallant and chivalrous soldiers of the
South. Of the accuracy of the portraits
of the two great captains we are not per
mitted to doubt. Gen. Lilly-, now con
nected witb Gen. Lee in tbe management
of Washington' College, vouches for them
as true likenesses, and so does the Hev. B.
T. Lacy, former chaplain on the staff of
the immortal "Stonewall." The latter
says of Mr. Julio's work : "It is not Lee
and Jackson as I saw them on the field of
Chancellorville; it is only a pictnre--but a
pict ure worthy of the men and the occasion."
Accurate and finely-executed engravings
will be prepared, from the sale ot yvhieh
to subscribers, and from donations given
by the admirers of the great Generals,
Mr. Julio hopes to receive a just compen
sation, and to 1h3 able to carry out his gen
erous purpose of presenting this work of
his genius to Gen. Lee.

AMUSEMENTS.
Mkmphis Thkatek. Last night Mrs.
Bowers again essayed one of those char
acters that are rightly considered among
the master-pieces of dramatic literature,
and the proper rendition of which requires
the loftiest grade of dramatic ability.
Well and proudly did she fulfill her duties
to herself nd the public. There are few
who can realize the amount of labor a
lady in Mrs. Bowers' position. has to un
dergo, the various changes of character,
tbe preparation of others with whom she
is brought in contact, even looking at it
with a semi-profess-iorfal eye. we are as
tonished at the wonderful perfection of
art with which she delineates all the char
acters she assumes, "the art with which
she hides her art,' and the true instincts
of a real and womanly nature, which, in
whatever situation she is placed, always
renders her conception one that nature
stamps as true; hence her great success.
The actress is forgotten in the woman,
and the blending in the character of Leah
of power and feeling, love and hate.ten
dernessand regret, all clothed in a pathos
which, in the last scene, opens the floor of
every heart, was so wonderful, yet so na
tural, that we are hardly willing to call it
art. Art it was; bnl of the very highest
order; and unless our judgment lie sadly
at fault, she gained a triumph complete
enough to satisfy her own ambition, and
the requirements of tbe severest critics.
She was well supported by Mr. J. C. Mc
Collom, who gave a manly, truthful and
vigorous portrait of the character of Rn -dotpk.
This gentleman, improves nightly
in public estimation. Mr. Waverly, in
the unthankful part of Nathan, Mr. Dun
can as the severe, yet loving father. Miss
Ella Wren aa the trusting, truthful Mad
eline, Sir. Phillip as tho factor, and, in
fact, the yshole dramaiis personam, by their
careful and correct delineations, rendered
worthy support to the bright particular
star. To-morrow night Mrs. D. V. Row
ers takes her first benefit, and we are
happy to hear that the indications are
that she will be greeted by a full and
fashionable attendance.
CoRRBCTlo.f. The role of Phabe,m in
" Lady Audley's Secret," for the excel
lent rendition of which we gave credit
yesterday to Miss Bella Golden, was
played by Miss Frankie McClellan as we
rind by referring to the programme of the
evening. " Honor to whom honor is
due " say we, and as Miss Frankie fairly
won our plaudits by her faithful repre
sentation of the character, it is no more
than right that we should make the cor
rection. A Deserved Compliment.- We find
the following in the Cosmopolitan (Dan
Rice s paper; or tho DU inst. Ihe com
pliment to Mr. Younge is well merited:
"The New Memphis theater, gorgeous! y
rerttted throughout, by that enterprising
managerial triumvircu siiiiiiing, Bid-
well and MacDonough is one of tbe most
elegant Thespian temples in the country.
and a legitimate credit to Memphis. The
company is an excellent one and " stars "
of tho first magnitude shine plentifully
upon the boards. No small share of the
popularity of tbe theater is due to the
courtesy and vigilant supurinleudency of
Mr. K. W. Younge."
Parlor Mrstc Hall.- Notwltlistand- j
ing announcements to the contrary. Dan
Connor!, the great comedian, and the i
Young Cincinnatus, appeared last evening
at the Parior Music Hall, and were greet
d with rapturous applause. They will i
still continue to delight th? pnblic at the :
above mentioned place during the ensuing i
week. Last night the crowded honse I
would hardly part with the attractions ,
presented by Young Cincinnatus, and j
encored and encored again, until tha per- :
former was fairly worn out. Do not fail
seeing him tbis week.

6RAND JURY REPORT.
The Grand Jury of tiie Criminal Court
made the following report to Judge Hud
sou yesterday :
ToUie Hon.' Judge of the ttriminal fburf:
May it please your honor the Grand
Jury, in conformity to your charge, have
Visited thejail, and have made critical in
vestigations of tho several departments.
i pou our iasL visit, mis i nai.it ruay i morn
ing, we found seventy prisoners," twenty
six of whom are condemned. It affords i
ns pleasure to state that we are highly ;
gratified with the administration of J. P.
Foster. Tbe jail, in all its departments,
is cleanly, and wo are informed that none i
but the unreasonable can justly complain )
Ol ill Ul '
We directed our attention specially to
the iuality and quantity nf the fond
given the prisoners. So far as we could
get information, we are of the opinion
that the quality of the food is good, and
the quantity is in accordance to the requi
sitions of the c.xle, with ouo exception, to
wit: They do not get vegetables once
every day. They should have liieni, even
for reasons irrespective of tbe demands of
the law.
There are complaints that tbe meats
are not always sufficiently cooked, which
could be quelled by more frequent atten
tions on the part of the contractors dur
ing the time of their meals.
There are complaints also coming lrom
the negroes that they do not get corn
bread and bacon ; these arise from the fact
that they have been accustomed to this
kind of food all their lives, and they love
it, and uniformly desire it. We learn they
have literally been fed on "light-bread
and bef." If it uan be acooinpiiahed uu
der the code and the contract. We respect
fully suggest that cornbread and bacon
and soup oe provided tbe prisoners.
The food prescribed by the code is not
such as those who are sick can relish, nor
is it always adapted to their condition.
We recoiamend that, if possible, the sick
may have sijcn fged as the. ubyuioiaq o.f
the jail may select. In this connection
we would communicate that Dr. (.unnby,
aud we believe the Superintendent also,
are of the opinion that the jail has not a
sufficient numbor of guards, neither for
general security nor to give the conva
lescing sick the exerciso which they real
ly need in order to early restoration. We
recommend a change in relation to this.
Complaints are made in regard to insuf
ficient bedding. In several cells we saw
but one thin blanket. It is evident to us,
upon investigation, that t lies,, complain
ants have wickedly and wantonly de
stroyed their blankets, and in some in
stances their beading. In these cases
the blankets and tedding have not
been resuppliea, simply because tho
suffering consequent is allowed
to be tbe penalty tbey have pro
cured by their own depravity. While
we are the advocates of humanitarian
views, we do not know that ue are ready
to recommend a change in this course of
the superintendent at the present hour,
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The cry is "still they go!" There is
not a day but two or more emigrant trains
pass through our city seeking the other
side of the river and tbe wilds of Raek
ensack or Texas. " Why is this thus? "
Have we not in West Tennessja a rn-h
lands and as '. a climate as Ar
kansas or Northern Texas? Cannot the
! tide lie stopped? Ought not our people
move in this matter? Something should
be done to retain these pecmla in our own
I State, and that something should be done
I quickly.
Street music in this country is said to
bo improving in character everywhere,
chiefly, we suppose, on account of the
arrival of genuine wandering minstrels
from Germany. These bands often include
ten or fifteen instruniepts, aud play the
most admired and difficult operatic music,
with skill, .sjrrectness and taste. There
was such a band in Memphis some weeks
ago, and we have seldom listened to better
band-musio than they made, their selec
tions being frequently fruui Rossini, Au-
tier, ana other composers oi renown.
They disappeared from our streets upon
being called upon for a licensco, and left
us only the little Italian harper and vio
linist to cheer and console the lonely
hours of our midnight toil with " Dixie
and "Captain Jinks."
We are informed that several gentle
men have formed a combination in this
city which will knock the old toe trade
into a cocked hat, and that arrangements
are even now being made to manufacture
ice by the steam process on a scale that
will supply not ouly our city, but if need
be. West "Tennessee and eastern Arkan
sas. For a century or more the problem
among scientific men was to convert Aeaf
into power, anil it was eventually accom
plished by the perfection of the steam en
gine. The more recent problem presented
by the economLst to tne scientist tor solu
tion is the conversion of power into cold
in other words the construction of a ma
chine, which by the application of power,
shall produce ice. This, we believe, has
been accomplished, and it is by means of
this machine that tbe new company pro
pose to revolutionize the ice trade. The
following calculation shows how easily
this can be done. In the conversion of
neat into power there is a loss of eighty
six to ninety-five per cent., but with a
good ice machine, such as are now being
used In Paria ..i ! LoQdon, there is no
such loss in the conversion of power back
to negative beat tor cold). By actual ex
periment jt requires TT2 foot-pounds of
power Hi estLraui an umi oj iauuii us.,
consequently a four-horse-power engine
would extract nearly oue hundred and
seventy-one units of heat per minute.
Aa one poo nd of water at the temperature
of 62 requires 30 of cooling to bring it
to freezing point, or the abstraction of 140
units of latent beat, a four-borse engine
would convert one pound of water into
lee every unuute, or sixty pounds tothe
hour. A forty-horse engine would make
WO pounds per hour, or 4000 pounds per
working day of ten hours. The expenses
are the first outlay, labor and fuel. A
forty-horse-power engine will cost, com
plete, 35000; interest on capital, wear and
tear, aay 20 per weak ; labor, say S9- per
week; coal, $10; water, 2. Total, H2 per
wek for twenty tons of i.re made, or 10
per ton ot iee 'a little over twenty cents
pjr hundred pounds. With the price
paid for ice in this eity i from two to five
cints per pound;, w rather think this
will pay especially as lea is m ule aa it is
needed, ami the parties going Into tbe
bn ;netw do not. therefore, need great
w ebouses and cellars to ,tore it in. The
al ve calculation is a close one, but per
t jii won Id be the ontside cost.
The detective force spoiled a right
nice little item for us, night lie fore last,
by arresting a couple of fpm and festive
b irglars who were just getting ready to
' crack " an establishment in which there
were concealed several of the Metropoli
tan Police, armed and equipped, and
ready for the fray. About nutuiown yes
terday evening, the pollen got wind that
an attempt would be made to " crack " a
certain place of business, and immediate
ly laid their plans to catch the cracksmen.
The detective force got the same infor
mation, thorngh a different channel,
and some hours previously, and thev.
too, fixed things to nab them, without
letting the police know of the affair.
Twelve o'clock was set for the job, but it
was delayed a little, and while tbe police
were waiting patiently for the intended
sport, the deteutives, thinking that the
burglars had given up their purpose,
made a descent on them at their rendez
vous, and captured two of the party a
third making his escape. The names of
the two prisoners are Andrew MeGoffin
and John Collins, and they will have a
hearing before 'Squire Kiernan this morn
ing at nine o'clock.
The clergyman of Yankee persuasion,
one James Lyon, of whom we spoke a
day or two ago, was carried before 'Squire
Norton yesterday, charged with abduct
ing a little colored boy from the negro
Orphan Asylum, and sent up to thel'rini
inal Court under a bond of $1000. The
evidence adduced went to show th.i most
outrageous and impudent proceedings on
the part of the accused. The complaint
was made by Mrs. Proudtltt, the matron
in charge of the Asylum, under appoint
ment of the Hoard of Trustees. While
Mrs. Proudrltt was attending to has du
ties, this individual, the Rev. Jam
Lyon
presented himself and demanded
charge. Mrs. Proudlitt had received no
notice to quit, and on asking the ' II. v
erend " by w hat authority he made the
demand, she was informed that ho had
been invited to take charge bv Mrs. ,
i mentioning tho name of tbe wife of a
merchant doing business in Howard
Row). This lady not being a director in
tb concern, Mrs. Proudlitt refused to
give up her place, and Lvon deliberately
locked up the provisions, etc., and put tbeN
Keys in his pocket. The little boy that he
alsiucted had been given to the matron
by bis father to raise, and Lyon thinking
that he was a likely child, and seeing : h it
he knew how to take care of little elr.i
dren, offered him monev (a five-cent
picket, wnieh he afterward took awayi. to
go away with him. The child was tolled
off in this manner, and as soon as he was
in his power Lyon took charge of him.
Mrs. proudtltt got out a warrant with the
; result detailed above.
The cry against scarlet hose and
! mauve shirts Is not a false alarm; and it
! is to be presumed that the gentlemen
who have been advertising for iuforuia
! tion from " all persons who have suffered
! from wearing colored socks, or other aot
! ored surface clothing," have good reaMaa
! for prosecuting their inquiries, ot th"
poisonous character of some ot the dves
used for these articles, there can ne no
donbt. A French chemist has been in-
vestigating the point, and has brought
the subject before the Paris Aead"iny of i
Sciences. Picture to yourself a grave as- ;
sembly engrossed with a discussion upon !
Iss bas de Mtle. range! Blue-stockings in :
solemn session upen red stockings! The ,
doctor. Prof. Tardieu, had been consulted
by a young man whose feet were inflamed
ami ulcerated from the weariug of red
soeks; and, ar about the same time, some !
other case came before him of lik;e evils,
evidently traceable to, a like cause. )o
he took his patients' ckannsettes, and ex- ;
traded the coloring matter from them by .
chemical treatment. Then he Injected
small quantities of it beneath tbe thigh
skins of a frog, a rabbit and a dog. AU j
the animals died with poisonous syrup- j
toms; the frog in four hours, tho dog in
thirty-six, and the rabbit on the third
day after the experiment. Next he pro
cured srime of the original dve, kBSffp
from its beautiful tint ;u uoruiliue, and
made sitniloa trials with tbe same results.
A colleague actually succeeded in dyeing
a skein of silk with the mailer ro-ex-tracted
from the lunjru and liver of one of
tlje poisoned subjects. Coralline is a near
relative of aniline, the blue and violet
dyes which are stated, by an able chemist,
to be dangerously contaminated with
arsenic. It is a treacherous famHy alto
gether, and we must lie ciiarv i allowing
our connect lou. u na it to become too in

went into the boinis iewelrv. Peter Funk
lotterv con
em on Front row near Mad1
son street, yesterday, to take a le-Ji at
tne guttering array of brass watches and
Itlaaa diamonds. While he was feasting
his eyes, the nrunrietor. one of the Simlth
family, bucked up to hii. ..ncl in Ms usual
rtorid and nersuaslve stvle. explained to
old greeny the manner in which his mu-tual-benetit-paienL-burk-ac

by pavment of $30 tfce hignestcash prize
a gold uhsouoiiieter watch studded with
real diamonds, a gold chain, and a dia
mond pin worth a thousand doiiiirs
would certainly La secured to him.
Greeny' eyes opened till they almost
popped out, and as sxn as his h.m.ia.
trembling with eagerpeaa, could open his I
wallet he laid three Vs on the .ou.ntr.
But when he came tu "draw." luck was j
agin' him, and " ..ne plain gold ring" was
the prtw instead of the " elegant lot of
