BABY SHOW AT MEMPHIS.
The Little Folks on Exhibition.


The grand baby show of which consider
able has been said, came off at Court Square
in Memphis Thursday. The papers Of that
city pronounce it a grand success. Not
only were ali the babi6s in town elt pdrdde,
but their mammas, papas, aunts, uncles
and kinfolks generally, were there to see
them and to bet on them.
The preliminary exhibition Of the previ-
GUS evening was not "a patching, for
where there was one on Wednesday there
was dozen Thursday, and the whole town
turned out to look at them. By fair and
impartial estimate there were at least five
thousand persons on the grounds, compris-
ing the very best citizens; and everybody,
male and female, young and old, seemed to
take an interest in the affair.
By some singular oversight of those who
got the affair up, neither judges nor man
ayers were appointed, and the whole show
consisted in trundling the little charges
around in their carriages. 1t would be a
great pleasure, did time and space permit.
to give a full list of the prize babies, but
under the circumstances we can only men
ton those brought more prominently
''before the public" They were as fol
lows Harry Slagle, nine months old, and
as pretty boy as ever breathed; Belle
Ward, sixteen months old; boy of Capt
Stein, four months old, and weighing
twenty five pounds; Nellie Levy, Henry
G Hart. Eva Frank, Jesse Rogers, julie
Taylor, Van Anderson, Jr., Bertha Willett,
C Rayner Hodges, Walter Ellis Reed, Capt.
Sam. Shocks, Mrs R Miles, Mrs Clarks
and Capt. Thornton's babies-all splendid
specimens of home manufacture.
Many were the side bets as to the claims
ofSthe different contestants, and much
money changed hands on the result.
The 'showP enliVened Court Square in
a manner that startled the Oldest squirrels
out of their propriety, and it was fully Q
o'clock P. NJ. ere the crowd dispersed.
Nashville can beat the world in hand
some ladies' and fine babies, and, now, we
suggest that when Green Morrow gets his
mammoth orphan concert off his hand he
turn his talents TO the getting up of first
class baby show.

EgORRIBLE AFFAIR.

Flesh from her Arms.
There is no telling what the demon of
strong drink will do in deadening and hru-
tifYing all the better instincts and higher
attributes of mans nature. Among all
the horrifc incidents that it has entailed
we have heard none more heartrending
than Que that comes to US from Elkmont
SPRING., in Maury county. Near that
point there lived a man named Erwin,
known generally as Kit Erwin. A few
years ago he was in well-to-do circum-
stances, and was surrounded and esteemed
by many friends. He took to drinking,
and fell as hundreds have fallen through
the same cause to the deepest depths Of
degradation. HeWas abusive to his family
and a pest in the neighborhood. A few
days since, in drunken At, he struck his
son, a boy near fifteen years of age, with a
chair, killing him instantly. The cause of
the death of the child was kept concealed
for time Finally the wife and mother
sank under her weight of trouble till
reason tgttered from its throne and she
became a maniac. During intervals Of
| lucidity she made known the manner of
| the death of her boy. In her paroxysms
of insanity she tore the entire flesh from
her arm with her teeth as she would wildly
rave about the death of her son. The
affair is one of the saddest and most pitia-
BILE, and shows the wrctebedness that can
be entaiied by strong drink. The Pulaski
| Citizen says that Erwin was at one time a
| highly respected and holored citizen.

The PICNIC Yesterday.

The Sabbath school picnic, by the pupils
of the Sabbath school of the Christian
Church, was, notwithstanding the weather,
e very pleasant affair, large number of
persons being in attendance. The rain in
the afternoon interfered with the enjoy
msnts considerably, and produced quite a
fiutter of disappointment among the little
folks. The special train conveying them
to and from the grounds, was in charge Of
Conductor Henry Gattan, who showed ev-
cry courtesy and attention on the occasion.
We could wish that on such occasions the
sun would shine as brightly as the smiles
on the sweet faces of the dear little girls,
and the weather be as joyful as the laughs
Of the ruddy-cheeked little boys.
