FUNNY INCIDENT-LOOM TO
YOUR "ExTRAS,"G GIRLS.

About half-past Il o'clock yesterday,
says the Memphis Appeal of Monday,
as the people were returning from
church, a lady dressed in the very height
of fashion. with a Grecian bend Of mag
tifcent proportions, tripped down Main
street in the most approved style, like a
cat treading on eggs. Just as she
reached the corner Of Main and JEFF
fcrsou street, where the sentles most do
congregare, a newspaper, neatly folded,
slipped from under her ,sirts and fell
on the sidewalk. A "mackeril' saw it
fall, and called out to her that she had
"drapped sump'en," but she kept her
eyes fixed on vacancy, and moved
straight ahead without appearing to
hear him. A few steps further anoth-
cr wad fell from the same regions, and
there was diminution in the size of the
hump on her back. The boy yelled
after her again. Il say. Misses, you're
osing all your papers the only
sign Of hearing him that she gave was
quickening in her pace, as if she was
anxious to get away from those diggins
as soon as possible. a kind hearted
lady. who was walking behind her and
understood the situation, at this moment
hurried up alongside and whispered to
he that she was losing her bend. This
information caused her to turn into
friendly stairway to repair damages, but
jus, as she put her foot in the door an
enormous bundle Of papers, a hundred
or so in number, dropped from beneath
her skirt and rolled on the bequctte
The "maekeril," indignant at the treat
ment he had received, and the apparent
disdain with which his polite attentions
had been met, on this rushed forth.

"The formal announcement of she back
action of the court in the question of the
conssitutionality of the legal tender act, as
applied to contracts made before the war,
does not differ from that which we have al
ready published. 1t is decision in the in.

A SPECIAL from New York gives the fol
lowing details of q curious scheme Dur
ing the past few days q number of leading
republicans, discontinued with the Grant
administration, have held an important con-
ference in this city, and the line of action
decided upon is one that will make itself
felt in the various states this very year, so
As 20 have due effect on the presidential
election. They acknowledge that the rspub-
lioans are in q majority in the north, aud as
Grant is TO be the nominee of the regular
convention, they intend TO encourage rebel
lien in their own local conventions so As to
cause break next year and run a man of
their own, and thus defeat Grant, to whom
are now opposed men like Logan, Banks,
Feuton and Cox. They cannot secure the
votes of their followers for the democratic
party, but osn draw enough votes away from
Grant so rs to help elect the democratic
nominee. For that purpose, local discuss
ions, similar TO those now keeping the re-
pubIcans of this state in q state Of demon.
AlizAtion, are to be every where encouraged
and kept alive. At the same time an active
correspondence has been going on for days
past with leading democrats, so as to pre-
pare the way for the democratic rank and
file TO run their man without . platform.
The whig precedent of 1910 and l848 is
quoted as being the only years when the
wing candidates were elected, because there
was no platform. Should this be accepted
by the democrats, the boiling republicans,
while keeping up division in their own
ranks, promise TO throw 9 heavy vote for the
untrammelled democratic candidate.
The republicans claim that the demo
Gratis caR elect their man, if he is not
hampered by platform, and if his name is
q guarantee for the new departure policy
Three suggestions have been thrown out to
the democracy by the leading republicans
here this week, who after having agreed
upon the tactics to be followed in their own
party lines, now attempt to secure whatever
aid they can from the democrats, to defeat
Grants reelection. The democratic leaders
here are not adverse to running q candidate
without platform, and among the names
mentioned are Hancock, Adams and Crate
Brown.

There is hardly thing subject that some
people wall not doubt, and it Is only by actual
proof that they can be convinced, In nothing ID
this fact more clearly demonstrated than in med

they write to us saying toat they have tried
both Doctors and msdicines for the eurr OF scEof-

no cure for them. Now we want to dissipate
those doubts by showing that sorofula In ell It's
