The FOUNDATION OF A MORA few
days since we mentioned the mobbing Of
the Camden (Ark.) Eagle Office by
United States soldiers. The commander
of the forces to which the rioters be-
longed, when appealed TO, confessed his
inability and indsposition to check his
men while such incendiary articles as
that producing the disturbance were
published. We subjoin the article which
so shocked the tender sensibilities Of the
Camden Caesar. 1--WE are credibly in.
formed that the soldiers stationed at this
place are in the habit of coming up to
town quite frequently and getting so
inebriated as to be totally indilfer-
ent as to decency, propriety or anything
else, and as they swagger and stagger to-
ward camps, use such profane and OBJ
scene language, and make such obscene
exhibitions of themselves as would make
the most obdurate negro blush, If such q
thing we're possible, to say nothing of
respectable ladies and children. We
hope, for the protection of the soldiers,
as well as that of our peace loving citi.
zens, that the officers in command of the
troops here will look into this matter.
An officer who would uphold men guilty
of such outrages, is simply disgrace to
the service, and should be strung up by
the thumbs until he learns the rudiments
of decenov.

INJUNCTION SERVED ON THE HEREANDo
STREET RAILwAY.--A few days ago Act.
ing Mayor Lynn, through the City At.
torney, applied to Judge Hunter for an
injunction restraining the Memphis City
Railway Company FROM any further
work on the track now being laid on
fernando street. The everlasting pave,
ment question is the cause of tbiG action.
fernando street is included in one of
the paving contracts, and as the munich.
pal authorities and the railway corpora
ton are unable TO adjust the difficulties
in that regard, it was deemed proper to
compel suspension of operations until
a satisfactory solution can be arrived at
The street railway company refuse to
either take up their tracks or pay for
paving them the people along the lines
will not pay for paving the railway, and
the city is not willing TO come 10 the
company's terms. The injunction was
served on the railway company yesterday.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PRoPERTY.-In
May last silver pitcher, waiter and two
goblets were stolen from Mrs. FIaherty's
residence, on Linden street No traces
were discovered of any of the missing
property until yesterday, when Detective
Morrison found the pitcher in possession
of man named Raconf, who lives on
Gayoso street 1t appears that the arti
cles were stolen by negro girl named
Lucinda Lee, who is now under sentence
to the penitentiary for three years for
subsequent thefts She was formerly in
Mrs Flaherty' employ, and had sold the
pitcher to Raconf for one dollar. 1t is
worth one hundred dollars, and RaconG
was accordingly arrested. He is a Ger
man, but unlike the majority of that race,
is very ignorant This fact, in addition
to the testimony of a number of reputa
Bile citizens as to his good character, in
duoed Mrs. Flaherty to- withdraw the
prosecution, and Raconf was set at lib
erty. The girl Lucinda is still in the
county Jail, and it is probable the waiter
and goblets will be also recovered

obstruct paving operations The follow
ing report Of the special committee was
adopted
The committee, to whom was referred
the matter Of the contract between the
city and the street railroad, report that
they cannot make any satisfactory ar
rangement with the road for taking up
and relaying the tracks Of the road, as
the pavement on the different streets
progresses The Railroad Company
represent that they are unable to procure
the means to meet the expenses of relay
ing their track and adjusting il to our
pavement
The committee is unwilling that so
important a street as Main shall remain
unpaved solely on account of the inabil'
ity of the railroad to meet moderate
expense that they are under just and
legal obligations to discharge.
The following resolutions are offered
to the Board for passage.
ReSolced, That Messrs. Forrest, Mont
gomery & Co, be directed to begin, rs
early as practicable, the pavement upon
Main street, and the Memphis City Rail
road Company be directed to move their
track sufficiently for the proper grading
of the street, and that they be allowed TO
relay their track upon Main street as the
pavement progresses with planking one
inch in thickness and eighteen feet in
length, to be laid transversely the entire
length of the road bed, the same to be
laid on the top of an inch planking laid
by the contractors lengthwiss with the
street the crossties TO be omitted, the
stringers to rest on the road and spiked
to the same at intervals not exceeding
three feet, the depth of the stringer being
made to conform with the depth of the
blocks constituting the street pavement.
Resolred, Should the said Railroad
Company refuse or fail to execute said
work according to the above specifica
lions, the contractors, Forrest, Mont.
gomery & Co., are directed to remove
said track from Main street, and to pave
said street according to the plans and
specifications embraced in their contract
with the city. NJ +. COCHRAN,
Chairman.
The Tax Collector on Privileges de-
sired the Board to report on the liquor
license question, as he was compelled to
give receipts to stand for licenses.
Messrs, Lemon and Powers, from the
special committee appointed at the last
meeting, recommended the tipping or.
dinanco so amended as to require saloon
keepers to pay an annual license of $3.50
each, in accordance with the Metropoli-
tan Police law. Alderman Smith pre-
scented n minority report taking the same
position as the Mayor and City Attorney.
Before settling this question the Board
adjourned.

An EYE IN A MANS STOMACH
A country gentleman with only one ma
tural eye, the other being a glass one,
happened to arrive in this city some
time last week, and registered himself
at small lodg ing house not far from
the Pacific Railroad depot. Being very
tired from travel, he went to bed early,
carefully taking out his glass eye and
putting it in tumbler of water on the
washstand to keep it bright for the
next morning. Later in the evening,
while our friend was comfortably snor-
inc, another traveller arrived, and, the
house being very full, was shown into
the same room which our country friend
occupied. This newcomer had drank a
great deal of wine during the night, and
soon after having blown out the candle
and retired to bed, he felt an unquench-
able thirst. So he got up as well as he
could, and cropping his way to the
washstand, filled up the tumbler to the
brim and swallowed it at gulp-glass
eye and all.
Early in the morning our one-eyed
friend arose. and to his great astonish-
ment found his glass eye missing. He
was sure he had put it into the tumbler.
But it evidently was not there. 1t new
er occurred to him that it might be in
his fellow.lodger's stomach. So he
dressed himself, took his breakfast, paid
his bill, and went up town to Jacob
Blattner's store, there to purchase new
eye.
Meanwhile the other lodger tossed
uneasily to and fro in his bed, groaned
heavily, and felt decidedly uncomfort-
able. About o'clock he awoke with
a decided bellyache. He rang for the
servants and ordered doctor. The
doctor came and suggested, "Drank
too much!" Lodger looked guilty and
agonized. Meanwhile the symptoms
grew worse, and the doctor ordered a
pint of purgative Seltzer water, and
went after some other patients. Our
unhappy friend, however, found the
pains in his stomach increase to such a
terrible extent that he grew half crazy.
Halt the hotel rushed up into his room,
and after a general consultation, a
neighboring barber was called into adj
minister clyster The barber, after a
careful examination of the patient, con
cluded that he had swallowed some
hard substance. An emetic was ad-
ministered, and 10 and behold the glass
eye was thrown up, to the great aston
ishment of the traveller.-St. Louis
