Morgag, very charming young lady,
fourth; Miss Annie Plummer, as be-
witching as an angel, fifth, and Miss M.
Taggart, one Of the most charming Of
her sex, as the sixth maid of honor In
all, these young ladies' formed bouquet

CONCLUSION.
When quite large number of the
people had departed for their homes
there was last tilt for the whip, in which
there was two rivals, the knight Of the
Wooden Leg taking all the rings each
time, and making the finest ride of the
day. He was presented with the whip
amid much applause.
IMPORTANT TO EvERYBoDY-Lines Of

and Steamboat Office in Memphis
Advantages Of Obtaining Through
Tickets Here.-The Memphis Bulletin,
Of the 2lst, says 1t is not generally un-
derstood by travellers leaving this city
for the North aud East that saving of
from FIVE to ten dollars is effected in
purchasing through tickets at the agency
of the memphis and St Louis Packet
Company and General Railroad and
Steamboat Office, No. 8 Jefferson street,
under the Commercial Hotel This is
an important item, and as the season has
set in when many prepare for Northern
tours, we deem it our duty to bring it be-
fore the public. 1t is an old fogy habit
with people hereabouts, in leaving via
the river, to pay the local fare to Cairo
or st. Louis, and then pay as much for
tickets to their points of destination as
would have carried them through from
this city, besides undergoing the annoy
ance of waiting in crowded ticket Offices
and then missing connections; in the lat
ter case mourning still further expense
in the way of hotel bills. In purchasing
tickets at the above agency, the traveller
not only puts money in his purse but
becomes fully equipped for his journey,
and on arriving at Cairo, St. Louis or
Cincinnati, has only to step aboard the
cars and occupy his seat or sleeping
berth without any Inconvenience, while
others, gifted with less foresight, are
plunging madly about in search OF tickets
or baggage. The Memphis and ST Louis
packets are all of the A No. class,
form a daily line, are differed by gen.
tlemen, sure and reliable, never fail in
connections, depart promptly AS adver-
tised, and run regularly in all seasons,
whether business justifies it or not. The
Company is essentially Memphis insti-
tuition, and every dttache is interested in
the welfare of this city. The Office
spoken of above has been established for
the accommodation of our citizens, and
as the advantages it affords become
known, will be highly appreciated.
1t is the largest railroad aud steam
boat Office in the South Z. b.
Byington, Esq, the general agent, has
the most complete set Of tickets to be
found in any like office South or West
of New York, the collection numbering
some seven or eight hundred different
forms, and including every railroad and
steamboat line in the United States and
Canadas. Here the traveller can obtain
tickets by any route he may desire, to
Cairo, Nashville, ST. Louis, Louisville;
Odin, Cincinnati, Terre Haule, Chi

Provide Newport, New York, and
other cities too numerous to mention,
to any objective point, all the way by
rail, or partly by water, as may be de-
sired. Mr.. yington's arrangements
for Southern travel are fully as extensive
and will meet any call that may be forth
coming. State-rooms on steamers or
on the cars can be secured
at Mr. Byington's office, where plans of
cabins, etc, are on hand, by which the
purchaser is enabled to choose for him
self, when procuring tickets. This office
is a credit and benefit TO Memphis, as
is also the Memphis and St Louis Packet
Company, which it principally repre-
sents, aud it is incumbent upon our
citizens to patronize line that has
mere to the growth and pros
perity of Memphis than any other me
dium Of communication it has with the
North. With Mr.. Byington is Mr.. Geo.

Office he has no superior as an agent,
and IS a gentleman that everybody likes

known to almost everybody, who Ellis the
