Yesterday was as bright and sunshiny
as heart could wish.
The query yesterday was. "who got
upthe dOdger, and where was it printed?"

length along" and is progressing very

Elliott yesterday, in default of bail, for

lie in the presence of the Justice.
The Ievee, and Front and Union
streets, wore a much more animated ap-

trade amazingly.
The ball of the young men of the con-

in money, a gold watch and about eighty
dollars worth of goods. The robbers have
not yet been caught.
We are gratified to learn that the lee
ture delivered last night by Mr.. David
Walk at the Christian Church was well
attended. The discourse is described as a
very able one, and we regret that want of
space prevents us giving even a brief syn

however.
We acknowledge the receipt of season
tickets to the Fair, to be given by the la
dies of the congregation of Rabbi Tus-

Memphis reminds a stranger of the
metropolitan cities of the North and East
more forcibly than any other city of the
South or Southwest. Every day some
new metropolitan dodge is sprung upon
or something new introduced into the
old routine. The thought was brought

"A merchant in this city having ordered
a lot of goods from a st. Louis house
through their travelling agent, was much
chagrined on receiving them to find that

ton. He Immediately wrote to the st.
Louis concern stating this fact, and re-
to the agent as their drummer.
Yesterday the merchant was sitting in
his counting-rorm when in marched the
drummer, looking fierce as a thunder
cloud. Putting his hand in his pocket he
