LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

The streets looked beautifully
clean yesterday morning after their
washing.
Yesterday was the anniversary of
the death OF the Duke of Wellington
the most illustriOus Englishman OF his
time. He deceased in 1852, aged SO.
Jerry COckly was locked up in
the Adams street statiOnhOuse last
night, charged with stealing a pair of
boots. The Commissioner viii give
him a hearing to-day.
Col. Price was, at the latest ac-
counts last night, in about the same
condition as we reported him yester-
day-wavering between life and death.
We hope that he may yet be spared.
Clinton Wood went into the bed
room Of MOlIie Paine, while she was
" sick in bed" and robbed her of S2l.
Squire Elliott yesterday sent him up,
in default of bail, to answer to Judge
Hudson for this heinQqs crime,
Squire Norton denies th2t he in
tends to adjudicate that hog case,
which we reported yesterday morn
ing. He is going to leave the matter
until Judge Hunter gets his Chancel-
lorship, for him to settle.
Fruit stains may, it is said, be re-
| moved by mOistening the article az
fected with n solution Of hypOsulphite
of soda, and adding to it a little pull
verified tartaric acid, which IS to be
rubbed on the stain, which will then
soon begin to disappear, and the arti-
Gle can be cleansed with warm water.
The First District police arrested
- - - III -. ~ III -
mons, Charles Warren, a saloon keep
er, on the three charges of yagrancy,

-Phe pamphlet catalogues of the
First Fair of the Shelby County Agri-
cultural, Mechanical and Horticultu-
raj Association has been placed upon
our table. The schedule OF premiums
| amounts to ten thousand dollars-the
cotton premiums alone being $500.
The pamphlet is neatly gotten up,
| and reflects credit on Messrs. Cow
| perthwait, Chapman & Co., from
whose press il Is issued.
"A friend 0fOurs, recently returned
from Europe, and who made arrange
ments tosimport his goods direct from
England and France via New Orleans,
tells Us that keget5 his shipments laid
down in Memphis for a less rate
of freight than he has hitherto been
| paying between this city and New
YOrk-they being brought by sailing
vessel and steamer 20 New Orleans,
and thence by steamboat or rail up
the river. We viii present some in
teresting statistics in this connection
in a few days.
Why is not Memphis a port of
entry? Ifsuch were the case u en-
terprising merchants who have open
ed direct trade would be able to re-
duce their expenses still iurther-thus
enabling them to sell them 10 the con-
sumner at a lower figure. As il is, they
have a heavy per centage to pay to
the. forwarding merchants in New Or
leans, in addition to storage, etc, at
that point. Go to work and get up
your petitions, gentlemen.
"A determined and pe~rsistently in
quisitive son of the Hub, who was
yesterday annoying an old Texan
doctor, a fellow passenger on the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad, asked
the doctor at last 81 what he really
thought was the cause.-the prime,
initial cause of the late unfortunate
difficulty between the North and
South?p The old fellow 'swent one
eye on his interlocutor, and with a
candid opinion, was, that Plymouth
Rock didn't land on the pilgrims in
stead of the pilgrims landing on
Plymouth ROek!" Boston dried up.
We again invite the attention of
our readers to the sacred concert for
the benefit of st. Patrick's Church,
which comes off tonight. The pro-
gramme, printed by US yesterday, isa
very attractive one, and we are well
assured will be admirably rendered
by the lady and gentlemen amateurs
to take part in it. The cause In which
they labor is a good one, worthy of
all effort, worthy of all sup
port, worthy of all profit that
can be secured to it. We hope the
church viii be crowded tonight, and
that the receipts viii be as large as
the occasion deserves.
Yesterday was the festival known
in the Roman Church as ae Exalta-
ton Of the Holy Cross. The discovery
of the o on which Savior suf-
fered, by the Empress Helena, led to
the sacred relic being raised or exalted
TO the view of the people in a mag
Difcent church built by her son, the
Emperor Constantine, at Jerusalem,
on the 18th of September, AID. 1876.
The cross was carried away AID. GA,
by Chosroes, King Of Persia, but re-
covered by the Emperor Heraclius
and replaced amid great pomp and de-
YOtiOn.
