A storm of the severest rature
swept over Memphis just after
midnight on Saturdny last. t
OtUtic from the southwest and con
tinued for three hours. During its
progress, lightning struck the
.Memphis cotton and woolen mills,
which were entirely consumed.
Most rigorous rales are being
enforced against vessels arriving
ifrom the Mediterranean sea, Red
sea, or Sea of Azov, to prevent the
infection reaching here. The
Italian bark from Trieste, with a
cargo of rags, was refused entry,
and the vessel ordered into quaran
tine at New York on the 22d.
A storm has aga'u damaged
the dykes in Holland protecting
Osongrad, Ssentes, Xasarhely,
ambor and Tettel.
Complete anarchy prevails at
Mandalay. The bulk of the in
habitants would welcome British
troops. Hopes that an explosion
will be averted are growing faint.
Journalistic Sznnosicrs.
The newspaper fraternity as well
as other business men, are sometimes
subjected to the impositions of a class
of impecuneous bummers pretending
to be what they are not. Astoria has
been visited by such before, but here
they generally defraud the public,
whom we have time and again warned
to beware of such frauds. The Dallas
Itemizer says:
A fellow calling himself George Le
grand came to Dallas some two months
.since with the Wilton troupe and
when they got as far as Perrydale he
quit the company and returned to this
place. He was without money and
almost without clothing, with the ex
ception of a "plug" hat, which enabled
him to "spread on" a little style. After
being repeatedly importuned to give
the fellow something to do we sent
him out to canvass for the Itemizer,
and the result is he has "bilked" us,
as he will undoubtedly do any one
who places any confidence in him.
From the Portland Bee we see that
he played a game on Prentice & Co.
and otlicr business men of Portland,
pretending that he was going to get
up a business card, and also got the
best of L. Samuel, ol the West Shore,
to the extent of $30. That paper also
says that he has several aliases and
that he was once arrested for forger'
in California but escaped by turning
state's evidence. We hope he will be
arrested and punished for his mis
deeds. .Foreign Escorts.
Since the last report of clearances
fiom the Astoria custom house was
made for publication in Tun Astoria x,
the following vessels have cleared for
European ports with cargoes and values
as specified. Shipments from Portland
are noted as they eccur:
To Queenstotvn, per Centennial, March 11.

jJS5-We see how life gets coined at
our mint, so that the world somehow
wears the stamp of the die cut into our
hearts. We know how a piece, of good
fortune brightens the air: how some im
pending evil puts the edge of a spiritual
eclipse "upon the sun; how suddenly ill
fortune in business will seem to make
the very springs of beauty bankrupt;
how the sickness of a dear friend turns
nature pallid; how the death of one
whom we love will convert all the trees
to cypresses and the music of the uni
verse becomes a requium ; but how can
von expect your city to prosper if you
(lonot patronize the local press? How
can you succeed as a merchant, or a
mechanic, and not advertise?
