The 1Tm6erfaks serenade party re-
called the denizens of jefferson street With
some of their soft strains at lo'clock this

The idea OF a "dogshow,' - at our COIN
ing Agricultural Fair, suggested by US a
few days ago, while not having been acted
on by the committees, seems to meet with
favor among sporting men generally.
We have eonvened with several within
the last day or two who commend 1t. and
who aver themselves ready to enter their
dogs for the contest. We hope that Col.
Stone, the Secretary Of the Chiekasaw
Jockey Club, will take a hand In getting
up the exhibition"
Capt. Pollard and Capt. James. of the
late Picnic Committee Of the Confederate
Soldiers Relief Association, inform us
that they have lists Of parties who are
still in arrears for tickets obtained from
them for sale. though several calls have
been made for the same In person and
through the press. They declare that UNI
less these PARTIES comeup and settle dur
ing this week, the names will be pub
lished, and sneh as are members of the
Association reported to that body. Six
weeks have elapsed since the picnic was
given, and aeundsnt time has been given
all parties for q settlement.
We were pleased again to greet Ia our
Office last evening Col. Koopmanschaap,
of San Francisco, who has returned to
this region 70 make contracts for supply
ing our planters with Chinese iaborers In
any required numbers. He leaves for
New Orleans in q day or two, but will re-
turn by this city in time to attend the
Convention at Louisville. Meanwhile we
are happy to announce that John Ainslie,
Esq, formerly of the APPEAL will act as
bis agent in this and adjoining States, and
will make contracts with planters and

The s. atroelous outrage" charged by
an ambulating female apple vende- against
an officer or employee of the steamer Ne
vada, a few days ago, was- examined into
before Squire Black yesterday afternoon.
1t turned out to have been no moro or less
than the emptying Of a half basket Of
apples into the river, because of the refu-
sal Of the owner, the outraged female, to
remove herself and wares from the boat
when ordered. Mr.. Jones, the " outrage
BUS assaulter," submitted the case and
was fined five dollars. The peace warrant
gotten out against him by the injured fe-
male was dismissed, there being no cause
for action.
I'VE are pleased to learn nom Col. J.,
w. Eldridge that the incorporation of the
Memphis, J~scksonport and Springfield
Railroad has been e0mpleted-COL. e. hay
ing secured charters from the States OF
Arkansas ard Missouri. This road is a
most important one for Memphis, having
its northern termini at Fort Scott and
Kansas City, and running AS 1t does
through q section of country that has no
superior in the United States. The list OF
stockholders and incorporates embraces
some of the first men in this State and
Arkansas, whose names are a guarantee of
success. A convention for the purpose of
e~leeting officers will be held ON the 18th
proXimo.
We hope the iremen and street labor
ers, and indeed all others to whom the
city Is indebted for labor faithfully per-
formed, will mark the conduct of their Al
dormen at the meeting of the Board this
evening. Let them remember that the
question before that body Is whether to
sell the stock to an old and hOnored citi-
zen of Memphis, who is thoroughly iden-
tilted in her every interest, and who offers
n hundred thousand dollars edsh for it,
or to a Boston firm, owning
not one dollar, and having no in
to- the city Of Memphis, which
offers ten Thousand in cash, and their
notes for Me balance. The ease is a plain
one, and any Alderman that votes for tho
latter offer must expect to have his mo-
tives therefor scrutinized reTy closely by
his constituents, and may be some un-
pleasant truths in regard to them leak
out through these columns.
John COoper-he of the "Bsll Pool

kettle of fish, and the way Of Ii was thus;
On Saturday night last a certain John
