A Charming sisht.

Passing up Main street yesterday we
we're attracted by the charming appear
ance of the show windows of the South
ern Palace, 1872 Main street. Recollect-
ing the public invitation extended to all
by the proprietors,
d. G. a H. N. LoEwENsTINE,
to visit their mammoth establishment
and inspect their magnificent stock, we
walked in and stated our desire to one
of the proprietors. Our request was at
once granted, and under the guidance Of
Mr.. Murphy we walked through the diff
ferent apartments. That wonderful tex
ture, the Japanese silk, was temptingly
arranged on the tables. A large stock
of these silks, embracing every shade
and pattern, was in sight. These are
beautiful goods, but no more so than the
elegant lace collars of wonderful va
riety exhibited to us by our guide.
The dress goods, summer silks of
every hue and color, grenadines, plain
and figured, were of the most attractive
description. These beautiful goods, fresh
from the looms of Europe and America,
charmed the eye of every beholder. A
new thing, the Palace Tie, was another
novelty; while the Llama lace jackets,
the newest thing out, was perfectly
beautiful. The lace points Of endless
variety, and the fashionable cane par
asol, novelty, also, were things of gen
eral admiration yesterday. The stock
of goods offered for sale by Messrs
Loewenstine is perfect in every apart
ment-from the cellar, where shoes and
boots for plantation supply are stored
away in vast piles of boxes, up to the
highest story, where notions and variety
goods are piled up in lavish profusion.
1t was almost impossible for us to es-
cape from the Palace, so attractive were
the goods and so great was the crowd
of ladies throughout the establishment
Thanking our guide and Mr.. Loewen-
slime for their politeness, we wendell our
way up Main street, being firmly con-
WINGED that the Southern Palace was the
great dry goods mart of Memphis.
We were informed before leaving the
establishment that Mr.. Henry M. Loew-
enstine, one Of the proprietors, is at
present in New York, purchasing and
the most elegant goods daily to
the Southern Palace.

Suicide and Murder,
BROOKLYN, April S.-Last night Francis
Lancien, prominent German politician re-
siding in New York. committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head with a re-
volver. He had been drinking rather freely

three years. was left alone by her parents at

fore they returned their child was burned TO

TnE World says: Gov. Lindsay, Of
Alabama. follows up the denial of Gov.
Alcorn, Of Mississippi, Of the existence
Of Ku-Klux disturbances within his ju-
risdiction with an emphatic statement of
a similar character. he insists that the
State is quiet, that no persons life is in
danger on account Of his political Opin-
ions and that nowhere are men Of all
races in the fuller enjoyment of the free
exercise Of the franchise. These asser-
tons, it viii be remembered, are cor
roboraied BY the recent statements Of
Judge Busted, who would not be likely
10 spoil the Radical game if there was
the slightest foundation for the reports
circulated by the Radical press. The
evidence Of Gov. Lindsay must be taken
IS conclusive.

Rcported Forgery of Seventeen
Thousand Dollars I'm Bonds.
1t was currently reported on the
street this morning that seventeen bonds
Of the Memphis and Ohio railroad that
were supposed to have been burned some
nine years since were offered for sale on
Madison street yesterday by person
who has heretofore held high position
under the Radical administration.
The rumor current is that after offer
ing the bonds the individual yesterday
morning procured from an old officer Of
the company an old journal and made a
false entry, transferring the bonds to
himself in order to hide the crime
he had already committed, but I'M
fortunately for himself he used blot
ting paper, in his hurry, that to-day bears
the marks of the false entry. Legal
proceedings will, we understand, be in
stituted at once.

His Fourth Lecture-A Trip Around
the world in search OF KnowI'
edge.
Quite q large audience attended the
theater last evening Notwithstanding the
fact that yesterday was Good Friday.
This lecture was another astonishing
elocutionary and literary treat, such as
has never been heard before in Mem
phis. He described the manners and
customs of the people of Australia, the
rebellion at Ballarat, the heather
Chinee, the people of japan, India,
Turkey and Russia. His recitation Of
the Charge of the Six Hundred" of
Balacklava, was delivered in true dra-
matte style, and brought down the house.
The objections to the Chinese missiona-
ry system were forcibly put, and Mr..
Train insisted that ship loaded on
decks and in the hold with opium,
cannon and rum, and with missionaries
in the cabin, had a tendency to con-
fuse the Chinese mind. He advised
his auditors that if they had any money
to spend in the way of charity to give it
to the poor of the city instead of con-
tributing to the scheme Of Outstanding
the Chinese heather.
The lecture, like those delivered during
the week, was of very interesting char
acter, and fairly captivated the delighted
audience. To-day at the matinee Mr..
Train will deliver lecture on Woman s
Rights or. Woman Suffrage. Tonight,
the last public lecture to be delivered in
Memphis, except the charitable lecture
tomorrow evening for the orphans, will
be delivered to the workingmen, showing
the antagonism existing between capital
and labor in America, where capital is
the real oligarchy.
To-NIGHT's LECTURE.
Subjects: God bless the workingmen;
the downfall of England; the uprising of
Ireland; the approaching European war;
the future of the South one hundred
thousand people in Memphis in five
years; cotton factories; wooden mills and
blast furnaces in the South; build Tur-

FROM RELIABLE DRUGGIST:

MOUNT VKRSoN, Ill, April 9, lsT1--Mesers-
j. n. Harris & CO., Cincinnati, Ohio.-Gfemtle-
men; heard one OF my customers speak in such
high terms OF Aliens Lung Baisam to-day, that
1 thought would write yOu the substance OF his
statements. He Saws his mother. who il now
sirty years Of age, has SUFFERED with COSsUEP-
TIoS fe- SEVERAL YEARS, and has been under
the care Of all orr beat PhgsieidnS, but never
ceiyed any permanent benefit; then she resOrted
to every kind Of Cough and Lung Balsam that
could be procured for her, but al % Grdl. She
still grew worse, until she was confined to her
bid; and when she was seized with par ixysm
OF coughing, she would lose tse power Of respira-
ton, ana they were compelled 10 resort TO var
iOus means TO restore breathing; and while she
coughed so hard che could not eNporata anything,
and the family and friends had given up all hopes
of her recovery. Her son noticed the advertise
ment Of Aliens Lung Balsam in the ChrisfiGa
AdvOoats, and they thought they would procure
and try It. They commenced giving her the Bar
sam at O'Clock Pm. as directed, dose every
hour until midnight; then she took another spell
OF coughing, and expectorated a mOuthful OF
dark, yellow matter, which was something she
had not been able to do for some time. They con-
tinued TO give her the Balsam until morning, and
then she began to expectOrate freely, and within
two hours she had ExPECTORATED TWO PINTs OF
mucous matter, which gave her immediate re-
lief; and since that time she has continued 70
improve. She now sits up all day, and can walk
about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her son bought more Of the Rsisam
to-day, and he Is recommending il very highly 70

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.

A singular scene was witnessed in the
Academic des Sciences at sitting which
occurred during the siege. N. Egger, Pro-
lessor of Greek at the SorbOnne and mem
Der of the Academic des Bellies Lettres,
availed himself of the privilege granted to
the members of different Academies, and
presented long dissertation OF, papyrus,
found in 1866, which gave a deal of infor-
nation ON the state of ancient Egyptian
civilization. 1t relates chiefly to the prices
of articles used in those times. The bursting
of the shells, and the thunder of French ar
tillery were distinctly heard during the read
ing. 1t was an impressive scene to see
these learned men discussing a civilization
which was swept from the earth SO many
years ago, at a time when their own coun-
try was threatened by ruin not less awful
and perhaps more disgraceful. The mem
bers of the Academic continued their week
ly meetings with perfect regularity through
out the bombardment. While everything
else was turned upside down, while a dy-
nasty was passing away, while sons and
brothers were perishing around them, an
enemy at their gates, want within their
walls, and missiles of war threatening them
selves and their household gods, these men
continued their usual studies. We are re-
minded of Archimedes at the siege of SYRIA
cuse, save that there we have but one man,
while here il is large body of the intellec-
tual flower Of the country. Some of the
more active Of the members are men who
have attained that philosophic calm which
not even the terrors of war can dispel,
and nothing diverts them from the even
tenor of their way.-The Presbyterian.
