Lodge, aud the teachers and pupils OF the
Eudora Church, at Whites station, was
inaugurated last evening. The special
train on the Charleston road, under
conductor Booker, veteran railroad
man and most attentive Official, which
left the city at eight clock, took out a
pleasant. though not large party Of
Memphians. The lack Of attendance
from the city, however, was fully made
up by the presence, in large numbers, Of
the ladies and gentlemen residing in
the immediate neighborhood Of the
station, the former Of whom con-
tributed their bright smiles and gentle
manners to the general pleasure Of the
occasion. The church In which the
affair is held is decorated with exceeding
taste and propriety-tbe work Of the fair
managers, who seemed to have studied
the effect of flowers and evergreens ar
tistically inwrought one with the other,
SO as to portray the symbols Of Masonry
on the one hand. and the artlessness of
nature on the other, in trellace, arbor
and festoons. The tables are all hand
somely decorated, and laden with fruits,
creams and every other delicacy. The
first to the right, on entering, is presided
over by Mrs. Haynes, Moore and Nc
Books, assisted by the Misses Whitelaw
and Goodman. In the arrangement ofthe
stand, as we learn, especial credit is
due the frst-named lady, who is ever
ready to assist in every act of charity
and benevolence. At the next table on
the right, as we proceed up the aisle, we
found the presiding graces to be Mrs.
Gates and the Misses Auer, all, and
especially Miss Lizzie Auer, being ladies
of refined and cultivated taste. The
table at the head of the aisle and imme-
diately under the musicians stand is
under the polite, supervision Of Mrs.
White and Mrs. Perkins. Turning about
and coming down on the opposite side of
the room, we first visit the table presided
over by Mrs. Harvey, and spread with
the more substantial dishes, served up
in real country style. The next
and the last stand on the same side of
the room, is that superintended by Mrs.
Brooks, Mrs. Horn and Miss Dockery,
and especially noticeable from the rich
ness of its floral decoration. Under such
fair auspices the affair could but pass off
in the pleasantest manner, as it did;
while others, whose names we have not
mentioned, also contributed greatly TO
the entertainment and graced the occa-
sion with their presence. The church
will be opened again this evening, and
we doubt not the attendance from the
city will be much increased. The train
for the accommodation of those wishing
to 90 out will be run as on last evening.

picnic for the benefit of St. Mary's Cath
Ollie Church will be given on Monday,
June LIST, at the grounds of Mr.. Ford, in
Chelsea, opposite the Baptist Church.
1t is hoped there will be good turnout
on the occasion, the object being to de-
vote the proceeds arising from the pic
mic toward completing the new church,
at the corner Of Market and Third streets
The work on the church is now going on
vigorously, and in two weeks the structure
will be reofed. The pastor, Rev. Father
Snyder, deserves the highest credit for
the perseverance and energy he has dis
played in carrying to a successful issue
the building of new Catholic church
for the people of North Memphis. That
a church is required in that locality is
the opinion of every citizen. Father
Snyder. notwithstanding the dizziness Of
the times and great scarcity of money,
