FACTS AND FANCIES.

Suicidal tendencies are again becom-

Bulwer says that poverty is only an
idea in nine cases out of ten. He should
have added, very unpleasant idea.
Gottschall, the German critic, says
there are in Germany fifteen hundred
thousand persons able to read English.
Painters should seldom wash their
hands in turpentine, as this practice, if
persisted in, will lead to the most serious
results-even to the loss of power in the
wrist joints. So says the Scientific

Ladies' Kid Gloves.

Our bellies and beaux believe they
wear kid gloves when they pull on a
pair of Alexandre's manufacture. 1t
would be impossible to find kid enough
to supply the demand for gloves, and it
is asserted that not ten per cent of the
gloves sold for kid are the legitimate
article. The pelts of sucking lambs
and colts are the principal materials
used. Rat skins are never used Tor
gloves; they are too small and cannot be
dressed soft and durable. A genuine
kid glove is thin, fine grained, delicate
and soft, yet very strong. Paris is the
headquarters of the kid and colt skin
glove. The kid skins are collected in
all parts of the world, while the colt
skins come from Tartary where the flesh
of sucking colts is staple article of
food. The tanning, dressing, and cut
ting out Of the gloves are done in Paris,
and they are sent out into the country
to be sewed. The great bulk Of the
Paris gloves has always been sewed in
the districts of Alsace and Lorraine;
and now that Germany has acquired
this territory, Paris, to retain her glove
trade, will be compelled to very gene
rally adopt the sewing machine. For
ladies wear, they are made in ten sizes
from five and three-eighths to eight
inches, which also is the index to their
number. This is the size of the hanC
they are to fit, measuring around the
! knuckle Joints.

A New wrinkle.

The Cape Island correspondent of the
Philadelphia Age says:
A new wrinkle in the ways of fashion
at Cape May this summer is the novel
habit of ladies carrying gracefully in the
right hand pretty, light, dandy-looking
cane, which the fair ones flourish with
all the popularity of the most exquisite
beau. With their knobby little sticks,
tossing about the pebbly sand, switching
down the greenest leaves, tearing out
the grass, or, now and then, in sly
way, displacing the chapeau of some
good-natured, unsuspecting young man,
the ladies are having every thing their
own way down here AT all events, they
have reversed the custom of cane-carry-
ing, fashion which many gentlemen
have entirely surrendered to the beau
ties, awaiting in patience some other
frivolous new departure The folly
of woman displays itself in the fashions.
and, consequently to the satisfaction OF
dealers, canes have riz, as every beau
must have belle, and each must have a
walking-stick Where this cane bust
ness originated, our correspondent
knoweth not, but it appears to be even
more ridiculous than the Infamous Gre
cian bend

The Gnme of Fly Loo.

The story about the new game Of
hy loo is in its annual rounds again.
The version is this year given by the
Cincinnati Commercial, and is as follows:
The detestable canker that destroys
men souls had made its appearance
among the little community Of pleasure
seekers at the yellow Springs, under the
auspices of celebrated alderman of this
city, who is notorious for the alacrity
with which he will bet on anything, from
the juvenile pick or pc, to the relative
length Of straws TO be plucked out Of a
haystack, and in the eniicing form Of
I" fly loo. " 1t is in testimony that every
afternoon from twenty to thirty of the
very flower OF our mercantile population
retire to q private room, and under locks
and bolts, give themselves up to this sa-
tanic game. The players solemnly seat
themselves around a table, each with q
lump Of sugar and a card bearing in
plain letters his responsible name and
representing so much money in front Of
him, and with a silent gravity that
wonld become a matchmaking aud
the ill-concealed anxiety Of men stak-
ing their all on the cast Of a
die, awaiting the advent Of the first fly.
On the buzzing insect comes, sweeping
now toward this lump, then veering off
toward that, sending thrill after thrill of
anticipated triumph or expected disap-
pointment through the frames Of the
anxious watchers. A; last the agony is
over. The atomic insect, all uncon-
scious of the important part be IS play
/ ing. the reversals Of fortune that he Is
causing, settles lightly upon particular
lump OF saccharine, and tweniy-nine
disguised men lose from s. to So each,
while the delighted representative Of the
sweet morsel chosen, scoops in the whole
pile. This decides one hand at the
I dignifed game which has run poker,
seven-up, and Boston completely
away from the springs, and another and
another pot, and pots al iHfHitum
are made up and won and lost IN the
close, hot room, while the deserted la
dies are languishing for little male
conversation below.

Those LasheS.

The Selma ALA Times tells of a rich
scene that occurred in that city last
Tuesday. Two negroes concluded to
take a quiet game of cards, and one of
them, being an expert in tricks that are
vain,' speedily pocketed the other s
scads. In fit of desperation the
loser staked mule, which belonged to
bis employer, against fifty dollars, and
lost. The negro who had lost his en-
ployers property, finding that he was
likely to become an inmate of the Jail
on account of the aforesaid animal,
pleaded in vain for some time for the
return of the quadruped. The winning
negro finally grew tired of the other, s
begging and agreed to return the mule
if the other would take fifty lashes on
his bare back. After little demurring
this was agreed to, the blows were laid
on, amid the laughter of an amused
crowd, and the whipped darby returned
home leading the mule, being too sore

ITEM HUNTING.
Facts from Reporters Note Bool.

Facts from Reporters Note Book.
Last evening rumor circulated
throughout the city to the effect that
officer Mat Shelby had been shot by a
negro. Our reporter heard the tale, and
started in search of the facts. A reli-
able man on Main street stated that
officer Shelby was trying to arrest a
negro in South Memphis, and was shot
dead by the enraged African. (Our re-
porter wrote this down. Reaching Beal
street, near the market, reliable man
number two related, with an air OF
knowledge, that the negro had been shot
dead by officer Shelby, while resisting an
arrest. THE statement in the'note-book
was reversed At the lower district
station-house nothing had been heard OF
the occurrence.I (The word suspicious"
was written by the reporter under the
two statements Turning back up
Second street, on reaching Court Square
a friendly citizen impaired an additional
fact in substantiation of statement num-
Der two. He had seen man who saw a
dead negro in wagon on Main street,
which wagon was being driven to the
Adams street station-house in charge of
officer Shelby. (0ur reporter drew a
pencil mark across the word suspic-
ious and wrote the word confirmed. }
Rushing in not haste to Adams street,
and insulting on the way several
friends by not stopping to narrate the
story, the weary representative OF this
journal entered the penetralia Of the
station-house and made the necessary
inquiries. The bland keeper of the city
prison informed him that neither officer
Shelby nor the negro had been killed or
wounded; no dead negro had been car
ried there in wagon; the officer had
not even been shot at, but while trying
to arrest negro thief in South Memphis
the chap resisted and ran away, which
forced officer Shelby to fire shot at him
to make him heave to; the officer did
not try to kill him, and the fellow es-
capped" Our reporter sighed and en-
deavored to recall number of consol-
ing reflections from works on philosophy
and poetry, but the only thing he could
remember was few lines from Shaks-
peare, commencing with Can such
things be, and overcome us like a sum-
mer cloud, without our special wonder,
etc. The sorrows of Werter were as
nothing to the reporter He drew long
pencil lines across the two statements
and general reflections made in his note
book, turned into the nearest beer saloon,
drank glass of lager, lighted his meer-
schaum and thought of the words:
"What if my hopes are dead,
My Item aed?

The code Of Murder.

The delegates from the different wards
of the city of Memphis to the Turn
Her Loose Convention" recently held
in this city, established code of laws
for the government of those engaged in
the slaughtering business. Every gen.
tleman is requested to govern himself
accordingly, and act strictly within the
letter and spirit of the code. The most
important rules are as follows:
No gentleman will tote smaller sized
pistol than Colts navy.
1t is unanimously agreed that it is dis
honorable to shoot a man IN front when
you can get sight at his back.
Continued firing at your victim until
you empty your pistol. To do otherwise
is cowardly.
What is called giving man a
chance" is a weak invention of the en-
envy, and relic of barbarism handed
down from the crusading and tourna-
menting ages.
Provocation is no longer regarded as
necessary; a gentleman can shoot at
another for mere amusement.
Every member of the association
should carry on his person, by day and
night, at least one six-shooter or two
derringers.
The banner of the association shall
be made of black silk, upon which shall
be inscribed the cabalistic words, Turn
Her Loosel
The antiquated laws Of Tennessee re-
aecting upon the crime of murder are
offensive to the progressive spirit of the
age, and unless Legislators change the
code they will be shot by the delegates
of the association.
The association indorses the noble
sentiment of De Quincy, that murder
is one of the fine arts.
Whatever you may say in private or
public, be certain to always " get away
with your man.
Shoot your man after dark, if possible;
and if you can shoot from an alley or
from behind some corner, always do so.
If possible, always kill the Oldest in
habitant or the most respectable man in
the community. To kill rough is
