GO HOME, BOYS!

Boys, don't hang round the corners of
the street. If you have any thing to do,
do it promptly. right on, then go home.
Home is the place tor boys. About the
street corners, at the stables, they learn to
talk slang, and they learn to swear, to
smoke tobacco, and to do many other
things which they ought not to do.
Doyour business and then go home. Ii
your business is play, play and make a
business of it. | like to see boys play
good, earnest, healthy games. If / were
the town, would give the boys good,
spacious playground. 1t should have
plenty of soft, green grass, and trees and
fountains, and broad space to run and
jump, and to play suitable plays. Iwould
make it as pleasant, as lovely as it could
be- and would give it to the boys to play
in, and when the play was ended | would
tell them to go home. For when boys
hang around street corners and the sta
bles, they get slouchy and listless. Of all
things, dislike listless boy or girl. l
would have hundred boys like hum
dred yachts, with every spar straight and
every rope taut. the decks and sides clean,
the rigging all in order and every thing
ready to slip the cable and fly before the
wind when the word comes to go. But
this cannot be if you lounge about the
streets and loafabout the corners and idle
away your time at the stables and saloons.

MRS. LEARY'S COW.

The telegraph brings us the mortifying
intelligence that Mrs. Leary denies posi-
lively that her COW kicked over the lamp
which set fire to the stable and burned
down Chicago. 1t would certainly be eX-
traordinariy mortifying if it were true,
but, happily, we are in frame of mind
to disbelieve that 1t is true. Mrs. Leary
declares she was asleep at the time the
fire broke out. Then how does she know
that her COW didn't kick over the lamp !?
Does she pretend to say that she can be
asleep in one house and tell at the same
time what her cow was doing in anotherp
If she can't, what the thunder is she talk
ing aboutp Besides, she has no right to
deprive the COW of the Immortality she
won by that historic kick. Suppose old
Mrs. Erostratus had denied that her son
had fired the Ephesian dome9 Suppose
the mother of Nero had denied that he had
set fire to Rome in order to secure an
abundance of light for his amateur concert
in the tower? Suppose the owner of the
world-renowned goose had denied that her
domestic fowl had saved the Eternal City
by its warning quackp What would his
tory be worth if it were suffered to be plum
dered in this disgraceful wayp
No, no, Mrs. Leary, that game won't
win. Your renowned COW did kick over
that lamp filled with non-combustible
kerosene, anu you needn't deny it. You
may have been asleep at the time-it is
very likely you were, for9 o'clock at night
is a singularly late hour for you to be up
and abroad-but that fact alters the iden-
tity of neither the cow-nor the kick. You
had better yield gracefully to the inevita-
BILE and let your cow pass into history,
which she is bound to do, whether you
yield gracefully or not at all. You had
better keep your mouth shut, in fact, and
let your name be handed down to posterity

ENGLAND.

LONDON, March ga correspondent
at Versailles learns from good authority
that Bismarck is preparing circular to
be addressed to the diplomatic represen-
tatives of Germany reviewing the history
and events of the war, and the changed
position Of the German Empire. In the
circular he comments with a severity al
most amounting to off'ensiveness upon
the attitude of England during the strug-
gle, and stigmatizes as tricky and eva
sive the policy of the British govern
ment
A telegram from Versailles states that
the Germans to-day delivered up to the
French all the forts which they had oc-
cupied along the left bank of the Seine.
The Times of this morning under
stands that the question Of the cession
of Canada will be discussed by the High
Joint Commission. 1t also repudiates the
assumption of Secretary Fish that the
negligence Of the British government
in regard to the Alabama claims involves
that government in the responsibility for
damage committed. Unless, therefore,
the assumption Of Secretary Fish is con
6rmed by the q. s. Government, the
Times is of opinion that the question Of
damage cannot arise for consideration
by the Commission. America should
understand that the annexation Of Eng.
land is as likely as the annexation Of
Canada, unless desired by majority Of
the neonle of these countries.

Yesterday closed the last scene IN the

is nothing remaining of him now that
does not exist in love and memory
The scene at the Criminal Courtroom
was most impressive. 1t had been

there in great number and proceeded to
put Grape on their arms. Putting on
the Grape was scene in the last degree

men whom the great deceased lawyer
had met in the conflicts of the bar many
times but whatever the issue OF the
battle, they never faltered in their friend
ship for him, or ever entertained a feel
ing of jealousy. 1t was impossible
to dislike him. There was frankness,
an open-heartedness, magnetism that
won everybody. He was welcome wher-
ever he appeared, because he was genial,
kind, generous and entertaining. We
have never known man whose recognl-
ton was SO much sought as his was on
the streets. We have seen him attempt
to 20 from the Peabody Hotel to the
Oyerton, and consume more than an
hour in the undertaking Everybody
had something to say to him, because
everybody liked him, He was as affable
to the poor and humble man as he was to
the rich and great As heJ was
the friend of every one, so every one
was his friend. No event in which
death was the central figure, coald

sombre vault, the friends who had ad-
hered TO him through every turn of for
tune or fame, traced him yesterday, lin
gered awhile, and then turned sadly
away to mingle once more in the thick

more the brave, ringing voice of their
lost companion and leader The spring
is coming, and before the summer as
cends, the grass viii cover his grave, and
the dews of the morning and the tears
from eyes that ever grew bright when
they looked upon him, will keep it moist.

PARIS, March S.-The city is com
paratiyely calm and quiet to-day, but
connections are still in existence and
frequent disturbances occur. The troops
who were lately disbanded from service
are now returning to their homes. Ne
Genera. de Aurelles de Palladines, the
commander of the National Guard, has
issued an order of the day, in which he
announces his intention to use the most
energetic measures at his command in
order to repress the frequent attempts
which are being made to disturb the
tranquility of Paris.
The French staff officers have taken
possession of Valerian, Monterange,
Vauyre, Issy and Bicetre, which are to be
occupied by the French army of the
Loire, in consequence of the serious and
threatening character of disturbances in
Paris.
A meeting was held at the Mayor s
house, and Jules Ferry, one of the Pre-
fects, rendered his resignation.
Several Germans who held official po-
sitions in Paris before the war have re
turned to the city. q.
In quarters near the Boulevard troops
have been under arms all night. Mont
martrie, Bleyey, Palace Royal, Belville
and Lavellette are under protection OF
the National Guard, who have formed
camps and are supported by artillery
The aspect of the city has thrown the
citizens generally into painful state OF
excitement, and the consequence is
that all confidence in the stability OF
the present Government is lost. The
report that the ex-Emperor Napoleon
had left Wilhelmshohe fo- England is
premature. He will not leave till peace
has been definitely signed at Brussels.
VERSAILLES, March S.-Emperor Viii

EULLA vEsTIGIA RErRoRsUM.

The effect of the Chancellor's decision
in the Nicolson pavement case may SO
derange many schemes and plans Of
money-lenders that they viii be forced
to confess that there is no hope for the
restored credit and prosperity Of this
city and county save that inspired by
railway builders. Greenlaw and Tate
west of the Mississippi, and Forrest,
Hunt and Fizer, and their associates,
east of the river, are doing the only work
which will restore Memphis credit and
relieve Memphis taxpayers. Stand still
we cannot. If we do not move forward,
and show the world that we have faith in
our own future, none can be drawn hither
with money or industry to gild the city
with gold, and make Shelby county bios
som and bear fruit as the garden OF the
Hesperides. Swear at the tax-gatherer,
curse our law-givers, and weep over the
multitude Of people in Federal offices
whom taxpayers must support-all this
may be done, and alb will be in
vain. The evil of to-day will only
be greater to morrow, and each
day, unless we perfect our railway sys
tenn and secure access to the only mine:
of gold in the South found in coal and
iron beds in Alabama; our condition
will be worse, our burdens greater, ouI
public credits more and more yaluelessi
and, finally, men viii abandon the coun-

Monday theMemphis Theater will open
with Mrs. James A. Oates Comic Opera
Company, which has been playing most
successful engagement at the Academy
of Music, New Orleans. All of our citi-
Gems who visited New Orleans during
Mardi Gras spent pleasant evening at
the Academy, and speak in the highest
terms of this fascinating little canta-
trice and her talented combination. We
can safely promise her overaowing houses
at the New Memphis all next week. We
take pleasure in Publishing the follow
ing from the New Orleans Republican OF
February II:
The fascinating little cantatrice takes
a benefit at the Academy tonight. Her
first appealto our citizens will, no doubt,
be fully responded to, and crowded
house will be the result. Mrs. Oates,
although not to the manor born, is pro
fessional citizen Of the Crescent City.
Here, only two years ago, she made her
professional debut, and Immediately
Jumped into popular favor. Since her
first appearance here she has been the
bright star or center-piece of a large
organization of comic opera and bur-
lesque, and has played in all Of the large
cities in the Union. Her great musical
talent gained for her the proud title Of
being the best artist, in her especial role,
in the country. Her tour through the
States has been a perfect ovation, and
in nearly every case her engagements
have been extended far beyond their
limited time, AS, for instance, her en-
gagement at the Olympic Theater in
New York, last fall, was originally made
for four weeks, but from the overwhelm-
ing success Of Mrs. Oates and the com
pany, it was extended to five months:
She now returns to us greatly improved
in voice and action, and is the .directress
Of the largest, and in fact, only musical
organization Of the kind in existence.

Here is the work of Mr. Richard
Wallace, son and heir Of the Marquis of
Hartford, during the late siege Of Paris:
At the expense of el2,000 he has estab-
lished an ambulance; he has paid down
$4,000 for the behoof of the victims
of the commandment; he has set up
hospital at his own expense; and
another hospital for thirty patients
he has established at his own house.
The grateful people call him the Pea
body Of Paris. The first letter that Mr..
Wallace opened on the resumption OF
postal communication was a begging
letter, asking for ESQ. 1t may be safely
stated that he has done more in the way
of charity in six months than his father
and grandfather in sixty years.
