lucky, the sun shoae as bright yester-
day as ever.
We were in error in stating that
the Confederate Picnic Committee
would meet yesterday evening. 1t
meets this evening at 4 O'Clock.
"a gentleman found a large brass
store KEY yesterday evening. The
! owner can have 1t ON 6pplving to this
Office and paying for this notice.
The fYuitstand at the corner of

Vincent BacigalupO (Madame
Vincent's husband) desires US to state
that he is nOtan Alderman, and hopes
that the public will cease to cOnf0Gnd
him with Alderman Vincent. We
make the correction cbcerfully, as we
have known him a good while as an
honest man, and would consequently
never think of accusing him of being
an Alderman.
A card of the Memphis Life and
General Insurance Company will be
found elsewhere, 1t would be super
fiuous in US TO say aught of it where
for years its officers have stood among !
our very first citizens. The Messrs.
Molloy, father and son, enjoy a wide
spread reputation as inanciers, and
have come out of the many financial
earthquakes which have rent the
country, with uptarnished honor and
if anything improved credit at home
and abroad.
1t has been sagely observed by
some sage observer that mems names-i
Notwithstanding what the immortal
Shakespeare has said-haYe an inn
deal to do with their conduct
and mode Of life. This reflection was
suggested by seeing the name of Isaac
Battimus, on the docket of the Second
district police for batteFing Mrs. Bat
timus with a hickory. IsaQn was
locked up to await q hearing.
The Stm local utters q deliberate
falsehOOd when he states that Regis
trar BOughner made any tables or
tabular statements for the APPEAL.
Every reporter in this city knows
that this reporter has always been in
the habit of making up his election
notes in that form, and the blanks fur
Mr.. BOughner were made up
in accordance with the suggestion Of
a friend of ours. Sonny has not got
out of his sehOolboy habit of lying
about trifles.
Two "bloods," out for an airing
in a hack yesterday afternoon, were
treated to a ride that almost eclipsed
Horace Greeley's trip down the west
efn slope oftheS ierras with old Frank
What's-his-name. They were persua-
.ed intoa crazy old box, the driver
Of which was an ex-bull-whacker from
the Plains, and set out for a pleasure
resort below the city. A few squares
made ii painfully evident to the pas
sengeFs that their coachy was neck
full of the worst kind of whisky.
While on the Nicholson" the fear.
Iul speed at which the team was go
ing did not cause any serious appre-
hension, but at the end of Shelby street
heir troubles commenced in earnest.
The driver, standing up on his box,
vent to yeils that would have
'aised the top-knOt ola COmancha In
liam, and firing into his lank steeds
his best lieks with a very s~ervicable
whip, was making the best time ever
noted over this track. The numbering
I'D vehicle was first on two wheels,
hen on four, and occasionally fly 7,

It all. The passengers divided
heir time between bouncing /.
bout from floor to ceiling and des-
oerately clutching at the seats to keep
themselves from being pitched head
lrst through the windows. Their
and vehement expostulations
o the driver was construed by that
Gentleman as encouragement, and he
'lied his lash the more vigorously,
md the astonished denizens along the
Inc of the route, rushed to their doors
