q Memphis is on the extreme western

we would prefer either Bolivar or Browns

Why Memphis is not as accessible" as
the places mentioned, we are at a loss TO
imagine. We are in direct railroad COM
municstion with every point with which
they are, and if any of the delegates
eh0ose to take the river they can do so.

most Of them would have TO come TO
Memphis to start to either place. An
other good reason is, "we are free to say, ="

About half past twelve O'Clock yester-
day, as people were returning home from
church, q lady dressed in the very helght
of fashion, with a gorgeous Grecian bend
of magnificent proportions, tripped down
Main street, in the most approved style
like a cat treading on eggs. Just as she
reached the corner of Main and Jefferson
streets, where the gentles most do con-
gregate," a newspaper neatly folded slip
ped from under her skirts and fell on the
sidewalk. A polite msckerel saw 1t
fall and called out to her that

A kind hearted lady, who was walking be-

the bsnquette. The mRckerel indignant
at the treatment he had received, and the
apparent disdain with which his polite at
tentiOns had been met, on this rushed
forward and seizing the bundles 0 fpapers,
startled the Sabbath stiffness ofthe streets
with, "'Ere's your extry! Latest from
