The coming Ix-gislature may be compelled to a.nend the High Lkvnse law very essen tially if the Supreme Court shall decide, as exjsvted, that the act dividing the cities of the State into seven classes is unconstitu tional. It is said that that the Court will decide that there can be cities ot the first, second and third classes only. This inter pretation of the law would compel saloon keejiers in all the cities of the State to pay a $oi license fee. I'nder the present law liquor dealers in all cities, except those of the first, second and third classes, are requir ed to pay only &Soo for a liivnse. As it was never intended that dealers in large and small cities should pay the same license fees, there is a stmng sentiment among the legislators in favor of grading the licenses iu some proportion to the population of cities.

He picked it up and had it in his band long enough to discover that it was very hot , as if just taken off the fm. At that moment a man came hurriedly out of tht lnae and snatched the piece ot mrniey frm him.

Hards had been counterfeiting stiver dollars, and the work turned out wa o nearly erfect in appearance, weight and ring that the inspector himself could not de lect the difference between the counterfeit and genuine coins. Seventy counterfeit dol lars were found in the room. A Rivar Horror. Metritis, TiNJt., Die. 1'L The elegant passenger steamer Kate Adams, running ait a semi-weekly packet between Memphis and ArkansasCity, was burned this morning near Commerce, Mississippi, 40 miles south of this city. She was en route to Memphis, and bad about two hundred people aboard, in cluding her deck and cabin crew of1, and i" cabin aud tiO deck passengers, and 2" col ored cabin passengers. The (lire which caught in some cotton near the forward etio. of the ttoat, was dis covered alsiut S o'clock. Tlia passengers were at breakfast, and when the alarm was given they all made a rush for the forward de-k. At the time the steamer was about .'Mi yanis from the Mississippi side of the river, and her bow was at once headed for the shore. Pilot J. Ilartoii was on watch, and he remained heroically at his post until she was safely landed. There were about 25 colored cabin passen gers who were saved along with the white passengers. On the lower deck, however, a fearful panic seized the crew and deck pas sengers. Those who were cut off from escaie from the bow were compelled to jump over board to save their lives. The stern of the burning steamer had swum: out into the riv er, and an effort was made to launch the i yawl. It was canized by the crowd which filled it. and many of its occupants drow n ed. They were mostly colored men. but there were three or four women in the crowd.

While returning to her home after the exer cise an attack was made on Thompson by several of the young men who had threaten ed him. Thompson drew his pistol and tired three or four shots with j-.U any known effect. Wismer went behind Thompson and threw bis arms around him in an attempt to dis arm him.

This afternoon Wis mer was still alive, but. it is said, with slight ehanee for recovery, the wound affecting a vital part.

A large and plensed audience greeted the first iierformauee of Unfits Heo'.t's new and exciting melodrama, "Tufowii upon the World,'' and in winch he also essuys the principal role. It is an interesting play, holding the attention from the ogi'iiing lo the close: founded upon Charles tirade's iow erfiil novel. "It is never too late to Mend." The ideas of that author have been vividly deliniatcd iu this theatrical production ; much of tiie language of the romance is adopttsl bjldly. while all the main facts are pre-cnt.-d in dramatic form and with added humor; this in a certain sense, assisting by taking olf the harshness of the original lines.

The wild Australian iu the dig gings was uiii.jtie. An amusement to the rough miners when the old time sign on the cabin was : " We first tire, then impure," a warning against intruders.
