THE LITTLE CoRPoRAL.-A late number
of this original magazine for boys and
girls, and for older people who have young
hearts, has found its way to our table, and
is SO redolent of every rare and delicious
thing for Young hearts, that we are con-
strained to herald its uncommon merits
The stories are delightful and invariably
Instructive. The poetry is simple, tender,
r r-?t +; and hi"h. The composition is ex
cellent English and, in word, the con-
dnctors seem to enter into the spirit of
their great task, to know the nature of
young hearts, and how to cater to their
immortal longings.-[ Nationol Intelligen-
Ger, Sept. 10, 1868.

DEATH OF JUDGE ROLAND JoSEs.--It is
with feelings Of profound sorrow, that we
announce the death Of that old and excel
lent citizen, Roland Jones. Our acquain-
taace began with him many years ago.
During its continuance, he was thrice elect
ed to the District Judgeship of this judicial
district, and served one term, and might
have served longer had he chosen, in the
Congress Of the United States, aud during
all this period, marked by SO many vicissi-
tudes, we never knew Judge Jones TO
change his estimate of q friend. He was
literally, in this regard, as true rs steel.
With this high quality go conspicuously
pronounced in his character, stranger Of
culture would have expected the accompa-
niment of other Roman virtues. His
friends knew that he possessed them
honor, honesty, integrity. Who ever had
them in q higher degree? While rot
faultless, because human, he was as incOr-
ruptible man as ever lived or died, with
VuS Stou uPOu "hS ttVoitJs Out VOiu-
mupity viii feel the want Of his heroic
presence, his fearless courage, and bis
shining example. His many old friends
will be glad to learn, that after bis long i'll
ness, borne without a munnur,
--" When the summons came to Join
The iaiiumerablc caravan, which moves
To that mysterious rcalm, where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls Of de,tl,.n
he met it. sustained and soothed by IN
un'aultering trust in his Creator,
Like one who wraps the drapery If his
| couch
Abont him and lies down to pleasant
| Dreams"
As it was among the last Of his express
ed wishes to q friend, that his death or fg-
neral should occur Oh the Sabbath, because
nearly every important event through life
had occurred Oil that day, we hope GU.
citizens will testify their respect for the de-
ceard in his Sabbath day barial.- South

THE Nashville Press and Times is
making some queer exhibits for a
Radical organ. In an editorial OF
Mondays issue, headed I" Free Schools
and Crime" it contrasts the $45G,-
142 so paid for school purposes with
the 1914, 45I 80 paid for restraining
and furnishing crime, and shows that
even with the heavy difference in
favor of the |" law officers I" they were
so far unequal to the task that $l34,-
53l % had to be expended in payment
of militia to help them. Why didn't
the Press and Times explain this
months ago?

tor Of the Chicago Tribune, denounc-
ing his report on the Union Pacific
Railroad as unmitigated nonsense.
Commissioner NORRIS attacks Ca
TONS integrity, when a Judge in Hi
nois, whenever any RAILROAD OF tele-
graph suit came before him, and ac-
cuses him Of being the defender Of all
telegraph and railroad mOnOpolies.
He then says that Gen. WARREN re-
ported q month ago that it would re-
quire 100000 to finish the Union
Pacific Railroad, and $4,000, 900 to
complete the Central Pacific. To in
sure this completion the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company hOnOrably
and promptly put up the securities re-
quired by the resolution of Congress,
passed on the 10th of April last. The
Union Pacific Railroad Company has
not put up a dollar Of securities re-
quired by said resolution, as appears
from a statement furnished by the

"sOn so infamous as SICKLEs, it is

THE speech of E~X-President JOHN
son, delivered from the balcony of the
Metropolitan Hotel, at Washington, on
Thursday last, was very severe upon
President GRANT. His words were
scathing and burning, and were eX-
pressed with all his characteristic bit
terness. Very much such an effort as
he made here in Memphis, 50 far as
ideas are concerned, it was ten-fOld
seveBer in expression. But bad rs
it was If is said TO be nothing when
c~Ontrasted with his conversations in
relation to GRANT. In speaking of
the President to leading men in
Washington he was not only saReas-
tic but cOntemptuOus, and to some eff
feet, as the correspondent of the Bal
timOre Gazette says that his words
have made a profound impression.
That they will have an ever greater
effect throughout the country is
deemed TO be certain. People here
say ANDY is mighty rough on
GRANT. His words cut like two
edged swords"
