We think however, that an institution
designed for reforming and improving re-
fractory Youths should be located in the
suburbs of the city, with spacious ground
for cultivation, and comfortable building
for workshops, sheds and gymnasium. A
fire well should be placed in the yard for
the protection of the present building but
we earnestly recommend the immediate re-
moval of this important institution to more
suitable location.
The Insane Asylum contains l27 persons.

fellow creatures are mixed together. and Ill

cures which might be accomplished were
the institution removed to more spacious
grounds and those confined allowed to en-
ioy the pure air OF heaven.
The Girls House of Refuge under the
superintendence of Mrs. Stokes, contains
twenty-one inmates, comfortable and neat,
with excellent prospects Of complete re-
formation We recommend this institution
to the fostering care Of our authorities.
The Charity Hospital was reported to

There was an underground wedding at
the Mammoth Cave on the 26th inst.
Mr.. Charles T.. Calvert, of Louisville
(who was in this city the other day. and
Miss Lena Orenduff, of Breckenridge
county Ky. The following are some of
the particulars Of the bridal, one of
which was whipping the d., you know:
The ladies Of the party were dressed
in elegant cave costumes, shortskirt and
Turkish what-d' ye-callems. The other
guests, nearly one hundred in number
selfinyited- filed in behind, and, led by
old Matt, the famous colored guide, en-
tered the cave and proceeded to the
bridal chamber in Gothic Gallery, so
named because a number Of huge stalac-
tites and stalagmites grouped together
strangely resemble an altar, and because
there is tradition-well founded--that
Kentucky girl, yielding to the impor-
tunities of her mother, promised never
to marry an obnoxious Ito the old lady
at least) lover upon the face Of the earth,
and straightway went TO the bridal cham

married the man Of her choice.

REcoRDER's CoURT.-There was but
little business this morning-only l6
cases all told-of which Africa had the
lions share. Ellen Thomas, negress
old enough to do better, was arrested for
entertaining too much affection for too
much deanery--a certain fair complex
Toned biped who was not fined although
Ellen was-the charge Of living in bad
repute being sustained. Winnie Reid,
another negress, was an inmate of the
same premises, but escaped the fine,
although her white lover with the eupho-
Nous patronymic of Tom Brown, had
to bear the brunt. Susan Mosby Cyrus
Brinkley and Mary Cox, were all sus-
pected of participating in therobbery of
Jack Walters. Cyrus was discharged,
but the others went to Jail, the circum-
stances being strong against Mary, who,
being told by her lawyer that he would
see her through for 800, said she hadn't
so much, but would see if she couldn't
get it, if she could see the right party.
Halkin Burrel was fined $50 for tres
pass, but the nature of it we did not
learn. The fines amounted to about
$40, of which not more than one half
were paid.

CABINET WARE MANUFACToRY.-We
made suggestion the other day relative
to the proposed establishment of mag
ni6cent cabinet ware mandatory on
the site Of the old cotton mill above the
city. We learn from Mr.. James Tighe
that about $500 has been expended in
repairing the building and placing it in
order for service, and although the gen.
tleman originally thought to be interest
ed is prospecting at present somewhere
in the neighborhood of Omaha, yet the
good work will 60 on. Mr.. Tighe in
formed US that there are capitalists of
Cincinnati who are interested in the
success Of this establishment and it will
succeed. 1t was proposed to provide
$4,000 worth of machinery, if as much
capital could be raised. There is no
longer doubt as to machinery and CAPT
tai. The operations will commence be-
fore the doubling Thomases will be
aware that the first step has been taken
The lease is now in possession of Messrs
Augur, Barbour & Co., and that indefati-
gable worker, James Tighe, is up to his
eyes in business.

MAGNIFICENT CARRtAGE.-We dropped
in at A. P. Morgan's, next door to Cal
vary Church, this forenoon, to see his
superb assortment of carriages, buggies,
etc. We were there shown what is
termed landeaulette, convertible at
will into n summer or winter carriage.
With the opening of the door the steps
are let down by single movement. In
the interior is communication with
the driver, so that he may be tele-
graphed, as it were, and directions given
without moving from one s seat Every
thing is in perfect keeping-the colors
modest, the trimmings rich. and nothing
gaudy, while the finish is of the finest
order. The harness is of the best quail
ty, and just the thing for such CARR
age. The price is $2300-pretty steep,
but none but those blessed by Fortunatus
could ride in such superb establish
ment; and who that can afford it would
ride in any other 2 Mr.. Morgan has
some fine buggies, and the prices are va
rious to suit purchasers.

Nor HYDRoPHoBIA.-We are informed
by the Avalanche that T. Pickett Black,
whose death from hydrophobia we men
toned yesterday as having occurred at
Maysville, Ky, was a son Of Joseph H.
Black of this city, and at Maysville on a
visit to relatives and friends. We re-
ceived our information through Gin
cinnati paper, which it appears was not
accurate. The schoolmates and com
panions of deceased held meeting at
the Central Baptist Church, on the 9th,
and adopted these resolutions:
Resolved, That in the death of our
dear friend Pickett we have met with an
irreparable loss to our circle.
That in our most intimate association
with him we have never known anything
but the most exemplary department;
idolized by his parents, adored by his
friends, his young heart, ever overlooking
with generosity and love, deemed it pleas
ant at all times to comply with the re-
quests and crafty the desires of those
with whom he mingled.
That we greatly lament his DEATH and
deeply sympathize with his bereaved rel

A New ADDITION TO OUR NATIONAL
BILL OF FARE.--The committee of ladies
appointed by the Farmers Club of the
American Institute, among whom was an
eminent medical graduate and the wife
of the Secretary of the Institute, state in
their report that packet of Sea Moss
Farine, costing twenty-five cents, will
produce, when combined with milk, in
due proportion, full sixteen quarts of
blanc mango, while packet of corn
starch, maizena, or farina, costing sixteen
cents, will only produce, with a like
quantity of milk, from four to six quarts,
thus showing that the new food staple is
actually worth, as a means of nourish-
ment, about one hundred and .ffty per
cent. more than the heretofore popular
preparations from maize and grain. 1t
is also stated that it has none of the
heating properties Of ordinary farinace-
GUS food, and is digested and assimilated
with wonderful rapidity. .44t.i1 cod

COOLEST place in Tennessee-Cadmus

KILLED BY LIGHTNIEG.-On Wednes-
day, about noon, at the time there was
the appearance of heavy shower here,
but which resulted in the fall of a very
few drops, there was severe storm on
st. Francis river. Some Of the hands
working on the railroad, a short distance
this side of the river, took shelter under
the contiguous forest, when the lightning
struck tree under which Thomas Mar
tin and a companion were standing. Mar
tin was instantly killed, and the other
severely stunned. Martin was about
thirty-two years old, of sandy complex
ion and had chin whiskers. Is it not
strange that men will take refuge under
trees, during a storm, when almost daily
admonished of the danger2

The medical caution, Beware how
you handle the straps in street car, is
worth attention; well attested cases OF
skin disease, and of diseases most ma
lignant, having been traced TO handling
the straps without gloves. Any abrasion
of the skin, no matter how slight, and
you are liable; and there is even ques-
ton whether ordinary absorption, especi-
ally in warm weather, is not equal to the
incubation with disease. Towels at ho-
tells, restaurants, and washrooms every
where, should be handled with equal
caution. Every traveller should carry
his own towels as religiously as he car
ries his own tooth-brushes

CoTToN MANUFAcToRY. Why cant
such a thing be started in Memphis
Other Southern points, without one-half
of its advantages, are availing themselves
of cooperative capital and preparing to
draw back their share of the tariff bonus.
Nothing could be surer of profits, and
even 100000 so invested would make a
start that would inaugurate fiourishing
system. We remember to have suggested
some such application of capital when
the barge line and towboats we're con-
templated and it would have proved a
more profitable and a safer investment.
Speaking of manufactures, the Union
and American says:
We like to chronicle the springing into
existence of new manufacturing enter
prises in the South. A5hose manufac-
tory has been established at 0pelika,
Ala, which turns out eighteen hundred
dozen excellent pair per week. Over
lures have been made by parties at the
North to take all they can manufacture,
but the proprietors prefer to make the
profit themselves which their Northern
friends have in view by the proposition.

MODERATE YouR CHARGES. There is
an old adage, get all you can and keep

policy win be apt TO find himself a rich
man, after limited probation. It sounds
very much like the old gentleman's adj
vice to his son: Get money, honestly il
you can, but get money" The local

Justify against the street car manage
ment, and intimates they ought to be
stopped II they don't come down. Other
cities will not tolerate extortion and why
should Memphis2 This latest of Jere-
miahs complains that: In no other city
would the people without loud protest
pay twenty-five cents per nip for mean
whisky" He should change his drink
ing places, and call where q good article
is kept; mean one is dear at any price.
Would it not.be well while overhauling
these minor extortioners, creating an
onerous tax in the aggregate, to inquire
where extortion begins and who make
the most of it? The taxes well-to-do
citizen has to pay are enormous. We
are taxed on everything beyond parallel.
Why should not the street cars and sa-
looms have their share of the spoils?
Why, the city taxes amusements at the
highest notch; and circus cannot come
here for less than four or five hundred
dollars day. Talk of your twenty-five
cents for mean whisky and ten cents

imparts this exclusive piece of informa-
ton. Speaking of Memphians he says:
