Using, to be successful, should not be
spasmodic and intermittent, but contin-
uous. Persevered in, 1t always Yields re-
ward. There Is no such word as fail to
the persistent advertiser. And he who
expects results from a single advertise
ment, which has had but two or three in
sertions and is then withdrawn, is no
more reasonable than a mar would De to
expect favorable results from taking his
shutters down three days in a month, and
keeping the shutters closed the remainder
of the time; or than the man who shrouds
his signs OF business except on particular
days and long intervals of time.
The last of the series Of concerts for
the benefit Of the Tennessee Confederate
orphans came off at the GreeniaW Opera
House last night, and was by far the best
and most brilliant of the three. Tho
house was well filled, the audience was
select, and displayed great enthusiasm,
.applauding loudly and frequently. At
the present time we have no means of
knowing the amount made by the enter
tainments, but as the children and the
management are under no expenses, the
sum Melted must be quite considerable.
We hope, for the honor of Memphis, that
the sum I'M up to that Melted in Nash
vile.
Our city swarms with bowling, snarl-
ing, swapping dogs of high and low de-
gree, of all complications, sizes, shapes and
temperaments; worthless and worse than
worthless; and yet, although the "dOg
days" are upon us, we can see no effort at
the enforcement of the dog law. We
much fear that no owner of a loved yet
likely to be lost eur will this summer be
called upon to indulge in this refrain:
Policeman, spare that dog, touch not a
single hair; he worries many a hog from
out his muddy lair. Oh, when he was a
pup, so risky and so plump, he Tapped
his milk from a cup, when hungry, at a
Jump. And then his funny tricks, so
funny in their place, 20 full Of canine
ticks Upon o u hands and face. You will
surely let him live! on, do not kill him
dead; he wags his narrative and prsys for
life-nOt lead. Go, get the muZzle now,
and put upon his mouth, and stop that
bow, WOW, WOW! and tendency to drouth.
He is our ehildren's pet, companion of
their Joy; you will not kill him yet, and
thus their hopes destroy. No, policeman,
spare that pup, touch not a single hair;
oh, put your pistol up, and go away from
here"
Colonel j. w. Eldridgs, the author
lied agent of the Memphis and Kansas
City Railroad Company, leaves to-day
to traverse the route OF the road from

especially employed by his Board of Di-
rectOrs to secure subscriptions in land,
money and bonds from individuals, towns
and counties. Colonel George NJ. Jones,
a Missouri Director in the company, is in
Memphis for the purpose of learning
what has been done TO insure the progress
of the work at this end of the road.
There are, unfortunately, two Kansas
City and Memphis corporations; the one
a.auE1l h. AEfrna.-s HLn NkA - H.
sas. It is eminently desirable thai these
two bodies should be consolidated. Let
ters received in this city from agents OF
the company in Washington assure us
that the appropriations asked at the hands
of the FEDERAL Government VIII be made.
The bill pending has already been APP
proved by committees Ofthe Houses,
and if no one question m~onopolizes too
great a share OF Congressional attention,
the concession of land to the Kansas City
and Memphis and Memphis and Vicks-
burg will be made.
There are a great many ways of en-
during the hot weather. The most help
less victims of the dog days are your gem
tlemen OF leisure, who have nothing I'M
der the burning heavens to do save to
watch the thermometer, seek cool places,
and dwell, mentally or orally, on the
tribulations of ''the heated term" These
are the most pitiable of all the sufferers,
outside of the reeking tenement house
quarters, that we know anything about.
Men who have much to do manage in
some way to get through the day without
lapsing into the utter and vacant desp9nd-
ency which settles over the unemployed
and makes the day seem a week in It's te-
dious duration. If aman's heart is really
in his work-no matter what II may be-
he will become at least partially forgetful
of the intense bodily diseOmforts of hot
weather. And besides, he viii not really
suffer as much as the idlers, for the per
SEPARATION that comes from healthy toll is
the indication of a natural reaction against
the effect of heat and Of a vigorous throw
ing OF of everything that impedes the
free circulation through the skin.
The Tennessee State Dental Associa-
ton convenes for its annual session on
the 18th inst, at MurfreesborO, and the
American National Association, repre-
santing all the States, at Nashville. on
the 2d prox. (August). This arrangement
will enable the dentists of our State and
the South generally to attend both con-
ventions with but little loss of time or
extra travelling expenses. As there will
be in attendance at the National Associa-
ton meeting some of the most prominent
men in the profession, not only of this
country, but OF Europe and other parts of
the world, met for an interchange of
views and the advancement of the SCIENCE
of dentistry, the Importance of attending
the convention cannot be overrated; and
in order that as many as possible shall be
able to avail themselves of the privilege,
through the kindness of General Boyd,
Superintendent of the Memphis II Lou
isville Railroad, the fare for the round
trip over that road has been reduced one-
half. We are informed that the hotels
have also reduced their fare to delegates,
and in this manne expenses have been
lowered so as to bring the trip within the
reach of every one. Members of the pro-
fession will see the card of DIR. WATSON in
regard to this matter elsewhere
Citizens cannot be too careful about
securing their doors and windows secure
ly at night. We are informed that there
has been quite an influx of cracksmen
and sneak-thieves into the city recently.
Some of these fellows are up to all sorts
of dodges-peddling pictures, notions
and gimcracks during the day and spying
out how the land lays tor their nocturnal
raids. Two of these chaps were arrested
by the police yesterday morning on a
warrant from Squire Herman, sworn out
by Annie Teets, who alleges that they came
to her house at 2 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and demanded admissiOn. She re-
fused 1t, and they thereupon smashed out
a panel of the door and thus gained en-
trance. Annie-who is not gentle" by
any means-prepsred for the emergency.
and met the invaders of her house and
home, at the head of the stairs with a six
shooter cooked and leveled on them
Something whispered to the braves that
they hau better retreat, and they did 50,
but did not leave the house until they
had broken up several articles, and raised
Cain generally. After they were arrested
and locked up, she came down and got
the Squire TO dismiss the case, stating
that it was compromised. It was done,
but the Squire would, no doubt, have
liked to put them through a course of
