A FREAK OF NATURE.-We saw a horse the other
day, tied under the steamboat shed on the wharf,
that was a natural curiosity. When We first looked
at him. we supposed that for want of fodder he had
picked up a bunch of wool and was trying to mas
ticate it. But a nearer view showed that he was
provided with a veritable pair of mOustaches. His
upper lip was adorned, a la Bismarck, with two
tufts of brownish grey hair, neatly parted in the
middle, and slightly curling at the ends. If oiled,
combed and cultivated, they would enhance his
already rakish appearance. Were We the owner, we
should take that horse at once to the barber's.

CHINESE New YEARs.-Sunday morning. at 8

commences the New Year according to the Chinese.
This year ends a cycle of a thousand years, the sixth
by their reckoning, since the foundation of the
Celestial Empire. In honor of the occasion in China
two whole weeks are devoted to merrymaking and
feasting, calling on friends and congratulations
Here, however, our Chinese friends, while they sus-
pend business for a day and entertain callers, keep
ing open house, do not go to the extremes of such
an extended holiday as their brethren in China or
even San Francisco.

VExATIoUs DEIAY-The KuaueG did not arrive
at her dock until over an hour after entering port
yesterday afternoon. The reason was that she
went first to the cattle wharf on the other side of
the harbor, in order to land her four-legged pas
sengers, while the bipeds were compelled to wait
in the rain until their turn came when the
steamer returned to her berth. This is &C
commodating the travelling public with a ven

practice, which has been followed for several trips.

interested. AS ARENAS Ward would say Why

AN ERRoR.-A Yokohama correspondent of the s.
F. Bulletin, writing under date of Dec. 23d-not
Nov. 23d, as the Gazette has it-leads both the Bull
tefin and Gazette astray. Speaking of a fatal boat
accident in Yokohama harbor it is stated that Com.
Brooks and Paymaster BoWles, of II. B. MS S.
Ringdoue, lost their lives by the catastrophe. Had
the Gazette taken the trouble to refer to their back
files for the month Of October last, it would have been
found that the name of the P~aymaster of the Ring
doue was not Bowles, but Weatherly. 1t is the duty
of journalists, when copying items from other papers,
to use precaution in publishing names. Com. Brooks
of the RiagdoUs and Paymaster Bowles of the Ma
ai5a, were the persons drowned, together with q
seaman named John Walsh. Z
WESTINGHOUSE BrRTH-DAT-Wednesday next, the

niversary of the birthday of the immortal Washing
ton. His is a fame and q name that all nations
delight to honor. He stands upon an eminenee,
wrapped in purity, serenity and sublimity-a man,
yet above the rest Of mankind. Viewed in all the
circumstances. of his eventful life, up to the position
ing into successful experiment a new and glorious
system of government-and nobler still, as a true
patriot and republican, retiring to the shades of
private life, when the staff of power might have re-
manned in his hands until his death-he excites in
an equal degree, our wonder and admiration. His
truest and noblest memorial is the grand Empire
which he founded. and the free institutions for which
he fought. Washington died Dec. IA, 1893, in the
6Sth year of his age.

PhOtOgraphY.

The magnificent photograph gallery
of Messrs. Bingham & Craver, in the
Goyer Block, at the corner Of Main and
Jefferson streets, has been, since it
opened, the resort of hundreds of our
citizens who desired good and artistic
picture. The gallery is elegantly fitted
up, the entire third-story of the block
being occupied by the proprietors. The
operating-room, chemical laboratory,
exhibiting-room, ladies parlor and
dressing-room are furnished in the most
costly and tasteful manner. The fine
northern light, coming through immense
plates of French glass, with the most
improved instruments in use, gives the
artists fine opportunity to take good
pictures, and of this opportunity they
avail themselves in the most artistic
manner. Their life and cabinet size
colored photographs are miracles Of art
in shade and color. They are superior
to the best oil portraits, being more cor
rect in detail and more perfect in finish
and likeness. Messrs. Bingham & Crayer
thoroughly understand their profession,
and are obliging and polite gentlemen;
consequently their business is rapidly
increasing.

MEMPHIS THEATER. The Sappho and
Walhalla combination troupes will give
a matinee to-day and close their engage
ment tonight. The performances of
these two companies are well worth see
ing. The balancing, tumbling and feats
of the Walhallas are wonderful exhibit
tons Of skill. The attendance at the
theater during the week was not as large
as the performance deserved, but it is
almost impossible to strike the popular
taste in every instance.
MISsTRELs.-The attendance at the
Opera House last night was quite large.
The Skiff & Gaylord combination seems
to be popular in Memphis. The last
performance tonight.
MAGIC, ETc.-0n Monday next the
great DeCastro will appear at the Green
law Opera House. AS an illusionist,
magician and ventriloquist DeCastro
cannot be excelled. The feats per
formed are mysterious, strange and in
comprehensive. Costly gifts will be
distributed among the audience each
night. DeCastro will remain in the city
during the entire week and will give a
grand matinee on next Saturday. Go
and see the wonderful things performed
by this celebrated magician.
ST. BRIDGET's FAIR.-The Fair at
Cochran Hall was well attended last
evening, and considerable amount was
realized for the good object in view.
The great center of attraction this even
ing will be the polling booth, where votes
will be received to determine whether
the Chief of Police or the Chief of the
Fire Department shall possess mag
nifcent horse as a reward for efficiency
and faithfulness. The contest promises
to be lively, and the polls will close at
halfpast eleven O clock. The Fair closes
this evening, and on Monday evening a
ball will be given at the same place, the
proceeds of which will be added to the
amount realized by the ladies managing
the Fair.

Criminal Court.

The following prisoners were sen
fenced to-day. by Judge Flippin: VIZ
Carter, murder, ten years in the peniten'
tiary; Charles Gholston, murder, ten
years; James Dawes, larceny, three
years; B. Bailey, larceny, three years;
James Mckinney, horse-stealing, ten
years. c. D. Erwin, a white man, SEN
fenced to two years for larceny, made an
eloquent speech to the Court, asking for
a new trial on the grounds that he was
not properly defended. His Honor lis
tened for a time to the oily-tongued
pleader andplunderer, and, after compli-
menting him upon his maiden speech,
committed the sentence to three months
Imprisonment in the county Jail. The
fact that he was convicted by the jury
was sufficient evidence to Erwin that his
attorney did not do his duty by fur
nishing testimony as well as law.
