A MAIN STREET BURGLAR SENSATION.
Sometimes robbing stores is pleasant

prove either pecuniarily remunerative
or corporeally safe An instance of the
latter character occurred about seven

Co. g front door; two remained outside
and the third entered. Selling an arm
full of clothing he started for the door at
a slashing pace, rejoined his comrades,
and all were making gigantic strides for
the nearest alley, when the startling
sound of pistol shot took the kinks out
of their WOOL Another and another fol-
lowed, and the running was changed to
blue streak, as the black rascals finally
disappeared in the gloom, dropping the
stolen goods on the pavement in the
fight They were not more astonished
at the shooting than the inmates Of the
store, who rushed outside in time to- OBJ.
serve the finale of the great stampede.
1t was soon explained by gentleman
who, standing across the street, had OBJ
served the theft, and as soon as he could
do so, opened fire. On this occasion, as
usual, "the colored troops fought
bravely," getting out of sight in an in
conceivably brief period of time.

Court Mr.. Pierce, during portion of

experience as a lawyer, and it is not
disparsging his merits to say that he will
prove but an indifferent substitute for
the lamented Judge Smith. Why so
important position should. be filled by
a young and inexperienced lawyer can
probably be explained by the fact that
Mr.. Pierce is straightout Radical, and
one Of the few in Memphis yet unpro-
