THE LIGHTAIHGs FREAKS.
It Knocks the Doctors on their Pins and
PLAYS Resurreetionlst.

A letter written by an sxcellent gentle
man living lnear Dunlap, in Hsrdeman
county, Tennessee, tells Of the lightnfngs
freaks as follows:
son last Wednesday there was quite a
number Of persons, ladies and gentlemen,
assembled at the house of John T. Gates,
to visit his wife, thought to be dying.
While they were standing around her bed,
al or them except one of Mrs. Gates
brothers and g lady friend Of hers, who
was holding up Mrs. Gates, one of them
on each side Of the bed, they were in sn
instant startled by 8 terrific fash OF
lightning and peal Of thunder, which
struck the chimney near its top, knocking
a hole through the same and running
down the same into the house, and also
running down one Of the rafters next the
chimney and tearing it to splinters. The
portion that ran down the chimney filled
the house with black smoke, as though
there had been a heavy siege gun fired in
the house, and Frustrated every person In
the house. Mr.. Huston Lamb, who Is the
brother Of Mrs Gases referred to, was the
first Il to recover, and when he arose
be found the smoke rising from his sis
ters bed. He thought her life extinct, but
to his astonishment and qualification il
was not. Others who were in the house
were frantic from the shock. Mrs. Gates,
q short time after the shock, when she re-
viVed 3 little, became almost a maniac.
She continued so for some two days,
when she quieted down and she is now
considerably better. She has been sick
about twelve months, and vas reduced
almost to a skeleton. The electric shock
has had a miraculously curative effect up
on her. There we're 10 lives lost. 1t
seems that Providence Was impTessing
upon them that mercy and power were
still His,

TELEGRAPHiNG.


There was some pretty ~teiegrsphing
done yesterday, on the occasion of the
testimonial reception az New York.
The following message Wss sent to all
the offices in the world:
Correcting to ali telegraph operators
throughout the world
peace on earth; good will to men God
bless you all. S. h. B. MORSE"
To this, our Colonel Coleman, SUpsrn-
tendsn5 here, sent the following reply.
WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co.,
SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 10. 1871.
To Professor SGml F. B. Morse, New
York City:
AS ancient Egypt accredited TO the
statue of MemnOu the poetic honor Of
giving Orseles to the Nile, by hsrslding
the sun, in his coming with strains OF
sweetest melody, we of modern Memphis
may congratulate yourself that the statue
Of Morse, unveiled to-day in the CONNER
cial metropolis of the Union, will stand
forth in its simple majesty, to spread to
all lands the keynote of civilization, to
dive through the depths of the oceans as
the link Of brotherhood to continents, and
to utter its syllablss of harmony, Of in
telligenes and truth to al the generations
that are to succeed as. In this spirit the
telegraph craft of Memphis most heartily
congratulate you, sir, upon the ~inaugurs-
ton of the Morse memorial,
JAS. COLEMAN,
SUPERINTENDENT.

THE BABY SHOW.
What's to be Done About It.

Editors Appeal see that the baby
show, to come of on the oath inst, is to be
in the hands of three old bachelors. Sirs,
I protest in the name OF civilization
against this burlesque. What right have
three old bachelors to sit in judgment on
snybOdy's baby? Did they ever have any
themselves, or by the remOEest prOxy7
OF course not. And it is evident to any
parent, or any thinking person, that they
have not had the opportunities that would
make them competent judges Of the good
points about a baby. While would be
ready to award the /" prize" to the baby
of greatest weight, another would go in
for light weights as more convenient to
lift about in the night; and the third
would probably go in for the n wearing
the finest embroidered skirt or prettiest
red shoes.
Permit me to suggest the appointment
Of a committee Of gentlemen, who have
children of their own, but lone On eXhi
bitiOn; let them pass through the crowd
as mere spectators, unknown to the pub
lie, and give their verdict privately to the
committee having the show in charge.
This will spare them any censure from
disappointed mothers; for, as you must
know, that Of the one hundred who will
be present, Just ninety-nine will 60 away
more Or7less chsgrined. For each one
known that, "Ours is the greatest baby
in the world" and if others cannot see il,
why, 1t is their misfortune, which nature
ought TO compensate with many worldly
blessings. But / am opposed to the bach
elOrs as a committee; for n OF them
knows just as much OF the sweetness and
tastes Of 8 tiny little baby as q cat does Of
EARNEST.

TERRoRs.
Incidents and Accidents Of Last Nlght-A
Suicide, q Supposed Murder and a
Sad Case Of Delirium TFemens.

An individual, who was not long ago
conducting q large establishment on
Second street and making quite q noise in
the world, has been living for some time
past with a reckless female. The pair
sometimes got drunk snd quarrel
terrihcally. Last Tuesday the nan
was fsarfully intoxicated, and was
heard In the oOm he occupied,
with the woman on st. Martin street,
about 9 o'clock at night. Other tenants
of the house we're accustomed 10 these
quaTrels and gave no heed to it. They
heard each threaten to Kill the other and
each prOpo TO commit suicide. Now
that the loving pair have not not been
seen or heard Of in five days-not since
Tuesday night, and since everything was
found in the room as It was left that night,
the supposition prevails that the two
lovers repOse at last at the bottom Of the
Mississippi river. Their trunks end
other effects are at the station-hOuse.
Last night about nine O'Clock Maryland
Johnson shot George Sherman, both
colOred. johnson has a wife and children
81 Germantown, andhss been staying with
a woman in the city. Sherman is a dray-
man, and Johnson g well-digger. Sher-
man was inside the cabin in South
Memphis, near Central Point, when
Johnson shot him in the hip through
8 crevice in in the hovel. Jealousy
was the cause. The doctors say the
wound is fatal. The man johnson is
pursued by officers Kelly and Hsckett,
and will hardly escape.
Last night q crszsd, Whisky-heRded
individual was bowling around the corner
Of Main and Union street. At eleven
O'Clock he was especially noisy. His
wild conduct attracted the attention of
the police, and he was followed into John
Sturls's excellent establishment on the
corner of Main and Union. He asked for
brandy. 1t was given him. He emptied
q powder into the glass, and saying that
he had but two hours to live, he went
believing down the streets. He was
entirely happy, and the rest of the story
may appear IS a frst-clsss sensation in
the papers tomorrow.
