newed his motion to lay it on the table.

The Little Rock Gazette says of the
Wheat and Farmer concerts: The house
was literally packed with people-the
young and the old-all of whom seemed
more than pleased with the performance.
Mr.. Wheat's piano solos far surpassed in
exquisite pathos and sweetness anything
ever before produced before a Little Rock
audience, while the delicious melodies of
the flute under the practiced manipula-
tions of Mr.. Farmer, filed the immense
hall with a mellihuous sweetness and &c
static pleasure rarely, if ever before, ex-
perienced by many who were present.
AT meeting of the Amusement Com
mittee of the Confederate Relief and His
torical Association, held yesterday, it was
decided to hold their picnic on Saturday,
the 21st inst. This day was selected in
order not to interfere in any way with the
picnic of the Hibernians, which comes
off on Wednesday, the 18th; or the st.
Georges, which takes place on the 24th.
To put it off longer would defer It until
the weather becomes too warm. 1t is ex-
peoted that the picnic of the Association
will be the affair of the season, and every
preparation will be made to render it the
most brilliant ever seen in Memphis.
The privileges of the grounds will be adj
vertised for lease on Monday or Tuesday
next TO the highest responsible bidder.

that Browne openly expressed a disregard
in religious belief.

ran away with a woman 10 Kentucky,
and that his wife got a divorce.
VIM. W. Norris, Sinclair's cOlore 'ne,,l

curtains, and were substantially one
room; that Mrs. Mcfarland carried up
Richardson's meals, they eating together,
she holding the waiter on her lap.

depOsed TO the conversation with Junius

the office.
The question WAS Gsked as TO whether
after the first shooting, witness heard
Richardson say he was prepared for Nc

ing the receipt of money, and containing

tifed-I have been in court during the
whole time of this trial; have heard all
the evidence given; since | was last on

nary case be should not hesitate to do so,
but most of this evidence was four weeks
old. lie did not think he could consist

accomplishment Of their designs. Con-
fessions further state that the plot has
been ia organization since the mid

Making Haste 10 be Rich.

There is q school Of philosophers
that counts its disciples among all
people, but not in great numbers in
any which cries out against the ten
denotes Of mankind to money getting
and the evils to which this desire
leads. This delusiOn, says one, has at
all times been q fruitful source Of
insanity. It has filed the brains of
squalid alehemists which dreams at
once q pleasure and a pain; it has
beguiled the half-clad and half-fed
miser into eontentment with naked
ness and an indifference to hunger; it
has destroyed the sweetest natural re-
lations and changed brothers to en-
emIes; it has caused those who were
at first ingenious to become badly
subtle and full of discrimination it
has proved too strong for constitution
al benevOlenee, and has made the
hand close and gripping which nature
meant should be generously open; it
has developed new forms Of felony
and led men into peculiar and irresis-
tible temptations; it has provoked
disgraceful breaches of the most
sacred trusts and the cruel spoliatiOn Of
the widow and fatherless; and for
more than a mOiety Of all the pain
and misery Of this grOaning globe it
is either directly responsible. This is
the argument on one side.
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1870-10-05

Night levels all artificial distine-
tions. The beggar on his pallet Of
straw snores as sOundly as a king on
a bed of down. Night-kind, gem
tie, soothing, refreshing night-the
earthly paradise OF the slave; the
sweet oblivion Of the worn soul the
nurse Of romance, of devotion. How
the great, painting heart Of society
yearns for the return Of night and
rest. Sleep is Gods special gift to the
poor; for the great there is no time
fixed for repOse; quiet they have
none, and instead Of quietly waiting
the approach of events, they repine
and starve sleep, and ehide the tardy
hours, as il tomorrow were big with
the fate Of some great hereafter. The
torrent Of events goes roaring past,
