In vjew of these facta, it teems to us

in weiuli a pmtitable undertaking t JSext

boast more factories than any other South.,

for more. The city of Memphis presents
greater advantages for becoimnea tnanti'

A physician, 1n jhe presence of two ju

Jilufore burying the body, .and with a view
to further inquiries, a wax cast was taken
uf the head, and furnished with the identical-hair
of tlie murdered man, and this,
with a few slight clues, has at last enabled
the police to lav haiids on '!'.: probable

All around the walls are hung varions

A young girlj handsomely dressed, was
noticed the other morning running rapid

stood for a moment, as if deliberating,
and then plunged into the river. The
swift current soon bore her out of sight.
and all that was recovered was the man

It was probably ,J 1i.kh's touching story
over ngitin deception, shame, disgust,
remorse, closed, as 1 charitably believe in
all cases of suicide, with insanity. It is
far fnmi strange that in a city (if a mil

liotli by nuturo and education, there
should be so many suicides. I think the
theatres, with their false coloring of life.
