Soon, wherc the footsteps are, the
grass has changed its color, the de-
pressions are distinct. Not long af-
terwards, bits and patches of the soil,
where, very recently, the grass was
only hattened, are laid low. You see
the naked earth, the roots of the grass
are dried, the grass itself is killed.

the brown devours the intervening

is defaulter to the State as Tax Col

S26, 072.0 which, added to the
principal, makes his total indebted

JUVENILE DEPRAvITY. Two little girls,
apparently about ten years old, named
Kate Fisher and Julia Lynch, have been
arrested for stealing gunny bags at the
landing. They are now confined at the
station house, and the authorities know
not what to do with them. Their crime
is penitentiary offense, but they are too
young to send there. Memphis is much
in need Of house of correction for the
accommodation of the juvenile thieves
that infest our city, and we would like TO
see our officials take some steps toward
that end. Seven Mackerels were ar.
rested yesterday for vagrancy, and were
discharged by Commissioner Richards
this morning, experience having demon
strated that confinement in the station
house for a few days is troublesome and
does not improve them in any respect.
A negro girl, apparently about eleven
years old, was examined before Esquire

The LAsr MURDER. -Thomas Dryer,
who was shot on Mccall street on We'd
nesday night, died about seven o'clock
last evening. There are several con-
licting reports aAoat in regard to the
murder The circumstances attending
it, as we heard them from party who
was present, are as follows: A dance
was given at the house of II widow on
Mccall street, at which Dryer ofiiciated
as floor manager. During the evening
three men who work on the river ar
rived and we're quite troublesome. One
o. them was ruled out of set by Dryer,
when some words ensued, and slight
report was heard, which attracted
scarcely any attention. In few min
utes Dryer said he was shot, and was
conveyed to his home at Dennis Tooles,
on the Overton tract. The man who
fred the shot had departed and nothing
has been heard of him since. John
McCune was arrested on suspicion, but
has been released, there being not the
slightest grounds for the belief
that he fred the fatal shot. Dryer stated
that he knew the imam by sight, but his
name was unknown. The ball that
caused the death of Dryer was a very
small one, scarcely as large as buck
shot; it entered his body just above the
pit of the stomach. Dryer was about
twenty-eight years, old unmarried, and
drove dray as a means of livelihood.
He was regarded as a quiet and peaeea-
bly, disposed individual. At present there
is little hope of the murderer being cap
tured.
