The /" Noon Hoax. Man.

Richard Adams Locke, the author Of
the celebrated moon hoax died yester-
day on Staten Island, at the age of
seventy-four. The incident of his life,
and which has made him known to fame,
was the authorship of a pretended ac-
count of the appearance of the moon as
purported to be seen in 1885 by Sir John
Herschell, the celebrated astronomer,
when he visited the Cape of Good Hope
with his immense telescope. The minute
and technical description which the ae-
count gave of newly discovered habit
able world, with its winged population
and strange animals, deceived thousands
of well educated persons. The pretended
source was the Edinburgh Scientific
Journal, and many savans in the country
actually wrote TO the editor for further
information. The moon hoax was
great success, and il was much admired
even after its spuriousness was discov-
cred, for the ingenuity Of its description,
especially Of minor details. This caused
it to be republished in 1859, and had it
not been for the imposture the name Of
Richard Adams Locke would not have
been thought worthy Of being handed
down to posterity.-N Y. Standard,

sheridan Royalty Dined.

Correspondence st. Louis Republican,
Apropos of Generals / may mention
that state dinner was given by Victor
Emanuel in the Pitt Palace, at Flor
ence, on the 18th instant, in honor Of
General Sheridan, whose departure from
Rome | chronicled in my preceding let
ter. In a conversation had with Gene
raj Sheridan here, inquired of that
distinguished officer what impressions he
had obtained from his observations of
the Franco-Prussian campaign, as COM
pared with his own experience of the
events of the American war, The Gene
raj told me that in the first place he saw
very well that the Germans were walk
ing over the track, and secondly that
he did not find any important advance
upon the tactics already adopted by
American strategists. But with regard
to the national defense of France, Gene
raj Sheridan considered that the want of
good cavalry had prevented the French
commanders from repulsing the inva-
ders, and he estimated that a flying col
umn like his own, vigorously directed,
would have cut the Germans all to pieces
and liberated Paris long before now.

Etna Insurance Company, of New
York.

We call attention to the ninety-fourth
semi-annual statement of this sterling
old company-always careful and con-
sentative in the selection Of risks in
Cured, and prompt and honorable in
the adjustment and payment of losses.
Our friends H. T. Tomlinson & Co.,
No. II Madison street, are the company s
agents for Memphis and vicinity. They
are well known, and are deservedly held
in high esteem by our citizens for their
qualities as irst-class business men and
their sterling probity and integrity; no
slight evidence Of which is the fact that,
upon the first rumors of the failure of
the Home, of New Haven, of which
company they were the agents, they
promptly reinsured every policy-holder
in that company in other companies
without cost to their customers although
not legally obliged to do so. If for no
other reason than this they should be
literally patronized.

States, who at present inhabit one end
of San Domingo dressed in tropical cos

Nothing to Wear" The natives are

Rev. Father De Smet, the celebrated
Jesuit missionary, who has spent long
life traversing the boundless plains OF
the West, often for months alone in the
midst Of fierce and savage Indian tribes,
is seriously i'll at St. Louis. Probably
no living man is better acquainted with
the Indian character or speaks a greater
number of Indian dialects than this well
known Indian missionary.
Yesterday morning the upward and
downward bound trains on the New Or
leans and jackson railroad collided near
jackson, Miss. The engines and bag
gage cars we're badly damaged. The up
ward bound train, containing passengers
returning from the Mardi Gras celebra-
ton, was running along loosely, behind
time, while the downward train had the
right to the track. One great moral and
physical question was settled by the col
lision: Two trains cannot pass each
other on the same track without collid-
ing. We hope conductors will rest sat
isfed now that the question has been
settled without loss Of life.
We have been often requested by
parties who have been arrested on the
charge of larceny, passing counterfeit
money and other crimes, to suppress
their names in connection with the Of
Tense. There is but one answer to these
requests. If the party is guilty, the pub
lie ought to know it; if innocent, the
publication of therecord will show it and
prove vindication. The guilty, and
not the innocent, should fear publicity,
aud it will never do to publish the name
of one man and suppress that of an
other. 1t may be unpleasant to see
ones name in print, connected with
criminal charge but it is due to the pub
lie that it should so appear.

Amusements.

MEMPHIS THEATER. THE Gazette Com
ique troupe appeared last night to fair
audience. The programme presented
was excellent, and contained many ma
terial changes from those of previous
evenings. The singing of Miss Jennie
Engel and Miss Minnie jackson was well
received and loudly applauded. Mile
Elise and corps de ballet performed
many Terpsichorean feats of agility and
grace. Sheridan and Mack, the great
character artists, we're eneored several
times during their lightning changes.
The troupe is an admirable one, and the
performance is well worth seeing. To
night the programme will be completely
changed, and will contain many attrac-
tive features.
