: Mrs. Haile's school on Madison street
=. closed for the summer on Friday ven
= ing last, with some very interesting GER
: emOnies, a report of which we have re-
! ceived bnt cannot publish on account o.
; its great length, and for the reason thai
it would be doing injustice to the mum
erous other educational institutions IN
our midst.
p At 275 Main street, W. C. BYRD, sue
cessor to Merriman, Byrd q Co., is sell
l ing watches, iewelry, diamonds and sill
} verware at reduced prices. This old
established, ~fair-dealing house receives
all the latest styles of goods and sells at
I the lowest prices.
Without wishing to dispute the Led
ger mans veracity, we will bet him a
basket of PEPPER Heidsick that he didn't
+ hear a young miss make any such remark
as he ascribes to one about greasy me-
chanics ~, in reference to the Ahrens
case. Yesterday evening. We make this
profer of a bet in defense of the good
sense and honor of the young misses I"
and young ladies of Memphis. MI. Led
german may answer on honor.
1t seems that embezzling a few thou
sand dollars of his employers money
is not Ahrens' only JGUT pGs-at
least according to the AUGJdnche Locals
report of his last examination. Accord

of that crime for which those young Eng
lishmen are now becoming so famous,
and has changed his gender-for he is
spoken of as a belle. What has poor
Ahrens done, that he should be thus mu-
tilated? Rub up your French, Mr.. Local.
We mentioned a few days ago the
fact that thefts of flowers and shrubs
from front yards, ~verandahs and other
exposed places in the suburbs, had be-
come very frequent of late, and that the
operations of the thieves grew in boldness
daily. We now repeat the warning.
Parties owning shrubs or plants that they
value should keep a sharp lookout on
them. A very valuable geranium was
stolen from Mr.. Oakley on Friday night,
under circumstances of peculiar aggrava-
ton.
We learn that the contract for making
the uniforms of the city police has been
given to Mr.. R. Walsh, merchant tailor,
No. Sc Jefferson street Opposite the SEN
atel. We are glad that the city has Sc
cured the services of a man who
thoroughly understands his business,
and who, at the same time, is thoroughly
conscientious in the discharge of his du-
ties. Mr.. Walsh has a tine stock of
goods, employs good wOrkmen, and
knows how to make a good fit. Above
all, his prices are only twO-thirds those
of more pretentious ~tailors, who are no
better.
Farmers in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the city. and with whom we have
had a chance to talk, complain most bit
terly of the ineficienoy and worthless
ness of the white labor which they have
been forced to employ this past spring.
Two of them remarked to us that they
would rather nave one lazy negro nOlD than
any two of these smart white hands.
Somehow or other" these S~candinavians
cannot be taught to get around like a
darby in a cotton crop, when it is like
cousin Sally billiards" cousin's-"right

Miss Brown has dispatched her most
skillful assistant to Jackson, Mississippi,
that he may secure a picture of the Mis-
sissippi Legislature, now in session. 1t
is the purpose of the artist to sketch the
Senate chamber while the Senator from
Oxford, with ruddy, blushing cheeks,
apologies for going to see a man. The
will be photographed while the big
with the little man in it, that pilots
the ship of State stands by the brawny
Governor, and cOntemplates the majesty
Of Africa in all the agonies of Legislative
parturitiOn. These pictures, life-like and {
the very perfection of art, will draw
crowds to the gallery of Miss Brown, at
the cOrner of Main and Union. Y
