WEATHER BY TELEGRAPH.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6--7 30 pm.
| The rainy and threatening weather pre-
vailing Wednesday night on the lakes,
was dissipated, with light rains during
| the night, and followed by brisk north
west WiBds and ciesring-up weather
| Clear weather with occasional clOudiness
has prevailed to-day east OF the Missis-
/ sippi. The temperature has risen very
rapidly at several points, but least so in
| the Esastern States. Rains on the Pacific
/ coast have ceased, and brisk southwest
winds now prevail there, with clear
weather. The pressure has huctuaged
| slightly over the country, with tendency
to increase in the northern half, and d.
minish in the southern half. There are
no certain indications. of any important
change in the weather for tomorrow. An
area Of low pressure seems to be forming
Ia the Northwest.
Mosquitoes grew ravenous lsst night
and presented many unexpected bills.
The Emmett Guards, in full force, es-
corted Mr.. Train last night to the tEester.
Mr.. Train speaks at IL today before the
Board Of Trade, and tonight at the
Theater.
Among the patents issued last week
was one to Isaac 81. Patton, of Memphis,
for cotton press.
Train is to lecture at the Greenlaw
Opera House on Sunday night for the ben
eft Of the orphans.
That excellent temperance institution
designed to win youths from evil ways,
holds its meetings every Friday evening
at Turley Chapel.
The Allin was in port last evening,
having msde their p to and from Fris's
Point in about twenty-six hours. She
can make it in twenty-fOur.
Sister DaIores wishes, in behalf of the
orphans, to return thanks to Colonel
Msgevney for q donation of four barrels
of -four and bag Of coffee, which he sent
to the asylum.
Owing to an election which was held
at Central Point some time ago, pursuant
to an order of the County Court, to see If
another election booth was required in
the Tenth Ward, and at which twelve
votes were pOlIed " aye" the Tenth Ward
is IN future to have two polling places.
The machinery of the unfortunate
steamer McGiu has been taken from the
wreck at Shoe Fly bar, and was yesterday
brought to this city. The wTecking boat
OF McNeely & Shsndley was employed ia
this service, with the famous steamer Oil
City. Therefore it was that the Job was
done so smoothly.
The Nashville Banner has the follow
ing brief but honorable mention Of the
gay LOthariO whom we ventilated a few
days ago &C. Q. Ward q Bros, wholesale
druggists, Memphis, give notice in another
column that DR.. Jerome NJ. Foster is not
in their employ, nor connected with their
house In any manner"
We cheerfuIIy make room for
the following "8Ir. C. a. s..
Richardson states that he had no
fraudulent intent in getting the scrip
covered by his order, and now supposed
to have been surreptitiOusly Obtained. as
it was his intention TO return the portion
not belonging to him-which he has done.
"W. A. BICKFORD."
Why should the British Cotton spin
ners' Association expend millions of
pounds sterling annually in India to
promote cO5tOn production, and in the
vain effort to compete with the South,
when, by constructing a levee, with q
narrow gauge railroad on it, from Mem
phis TO Vicksburg, district of country
would be redeemed capable Of producing
more cotton in value than all that grows
in India? England may nate America,
but should love herself, and expend her
gold in the South.
We are pleased to call attention to the
new and enterprising business lately es-
tablished by Mr.. j. Il. Pearson, at No. 334
Second street. Mr. Pearson is eudeavor-
ing TO establish in Memphis what no other
city IN the South or West Cau boast Of,
and that is, a store in which no want you
may express cannot be supplied, even
from a knitting needle to q ship anchor
Mr.. Pearson is every way worthy of the
public support, and we hope he will re-
ceive it, as we should dislike to hear of
the failure Of an enterprise so advantage /
GUS to our community,
Mr.. Train will define to-day mode
OF organization of an association to be en-
plOyed IN drawing into the Southern
States the hapless farmers of Alsacs and |
Lorraine. The value to this city of the
Allan line of steamers, now plying be-
tween Norfolk and Liverpool, will be ex-
pounded; and it will appear that even
those Europeans that seek homes in the !
new Northwest viii find the cheapest and /
shortest route, whsreOn excessive cold is |
unknown, over our railways and rivers. |
OF course Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana 1
will receive all foreign immigrants through /
Memphis If the Allen line be maintained. |
When the st. Lawrence is frozen Que |
bee and Montreal and Liverpool lines of |
ocean steamers fr6ighCsd by railways |
from Memphis make Norfolk and Balti- |
more the Western ports at which vOya- !
ges terminate. The whole trade of Ar |
kansas and of Red river and of this great !
valley, with Europe will ultimately adopt |
the short Southern routes to the sea. |
Time saved is interest saved on the cRpi- |
tai invested in this cotton, tobacco and |
sugar. Return csrgoes Of these steamers, |
for some time to come, must consist main !
ly OF emigrsnts. They cannot run with |
ont csrgOes in both directions. How to |
secure this human freight will be the in |
quiry discussed by Mr.. Train to-day.
The religious services in the Catholic |
churches yesterday morning were very |
impressive. There was solemn high mass |
at nine O'Clock, with & choral bat no or /
gan accompaniment. After mass the blessed |
sacrament was taken from the high altar |
and arried in procession round the allies /
OF the church with singing of hymns and /
Offering Of incense, and deposited st the |
Virgins altar, which is msgni6centlY
decorated and lit up with innumerable /
wax tapers. 1t vii. remain there until /
this evening. The young girls from the |
La Sslette academy, all dressed in white /
and wearing wreathes of flowers, formed |
the procession and chanted the hymns. |
The sight was very beautiful, solemn and /
touching. During the day great crowds of |
people attended all the Catholic churches |
to worship the Sacred Host, yesterday 1
being the university of the institution of /
the last supper. The alteration Of the |
holy cross takes place to-day.
