SILVER DUsT.-What shall our ladies
do The latest fashion, started by the
Duchess Of Madrid in Paris, is to pow
der the hair with silver dust How can
our bellies keep up this style, when it will
cost twenty dollars day to silver their
locks Perhaps pewter dust will serve
equally as well; but then rude beaux
will be apt to say: my dear Angelina,
keep your pewter head out of the way,
will you; it soils my 6ue clothes"

AN "OLD GRUDGE AND No PRIE E
FIGHT. some time what is termed
an "old grudge" has existed between
couple of men in this city known as Pat
0'Nei and Pat Molloy, and last Sunday
about one o cloo. ip the afternoon they
walked out to an old field one mile south
of the city and settled the "grudge" in
the old style Of fsticuffs. The affair has
been colored into a prize fight; but it
appears to have been merely the settle
ment of feud.

TIE YOU'VE IDEA."-The "young
idea of this age is taught how to shoot
pretty WE'LL. but not in the way Tomson
understood it. A boy named Mike Har-
rigan brought pistol in his pocket to
the Linden street school yesterday, and
about half.past one clock, while playing
with it at his desk, accidentally dis
charged its contents-a squirrel shot
into the left hand of boy named Eddie
Banning, causing a painful, but not dan
gerous, wound. Pistols are no plsytoys
for school boys, and we hope parents will
keep their children from carrying them
in their pockets or satchels.

MsxPns. The editor Of the Canton
(Miss) Mail pays the following compli-
ment to our city:
In this progressive age and 10 this pro.
gressive country. Memphis is pre- emf
nently progressive city. A few years
ago cattle fed upon the hills where now
palatial mansions meet the eye, and mag.
nifcent churches life their towering
stoeples to the sky. Omnibnses and gilt
tering equipages roll, with the velocity
Of bippogrif. over the Nicolson pave
ment, where few years ago they had TO
pillow their way at snaiPs pace through
sticky mud.
The people of the Bluff City are active
and enterprising They evince by their
works due appreciation Of the fat oftbe
Almighty, by the sweat Of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread" Even the idlers
that once thropged, az 10 other cities, the
bar rooms and billiard saloons, have 10 g
great measure forsaken their old haunts
and gone to work, showing that they too
feel the force of the poetic maxim,
"Man was made to face the storm,
Not to anguish In the shade"
The best evidence of the growing pros
perity of Memphis is the neat and thrifty
appearance of its newspapers; and the
gentlemanly exterior and knightly bear
ing of the conductors of those journals is
no trifing indication of the elegance aud
refinement, in both taste and manners, OF
their many readers. Our grateful &C.
knowledments are specially due several
of these gentlemen for courtesies shown
us upon recent visit to their city.
