The Moon a Teacher.

The moon has been going through
all the changes that we see in it now,
every month for nearly six thousand
years; and in all that long time, il
has not been single day or hour or
minute behind time, or before time.
The new moon comes punctually at
the time appointed for it; and so
does the full moon. An astronomer
can calculate for hundred or five
hundred years ahead, and tell you
just the day and hour in any month
when there will be full moon. And
if you and | were to be alive at that
time, we should find the moon up to
time-punctual to a moment. 1t
has been so for thousandsof years /;
it will be so for thousands Of years
to come. And this is very impor>
tant lesson that we may learn from
the moon. The habit of punctuality
is ore Of the best habits for us to
form while we are young. To be al
ways in the right place, at the right
time to be in school before the open
ing exercises begin; to be in church
before the minister enters on the
service; to be in the place where We
have business engagement in plenty
OF time to meet it, is most excellent
habit to form. Many man has
failed in business just for the want of
punctuality. And even where actual
failure does not follow from it, it
always occasions a great deal of
harm and loss.

The Annual Convention of District
Grand Lodge No. 2 Independent Order
of Bnai Birth will be held in the hall
of Euphrates Lodge No. 80, corner Sec
ond and Adams streets The convention
will open on next Sunday, at 10 am,
and is expected to continue for three or
four days Delegates from all the West
ern and Southern States will be in at
tendance, and it is expected that about
one hundred and fifty will be here dur
ing this session. This is the first time
that this benevolent order hold their con
vention in the South, and we greet them
with hearty welcome. Both Lodges Of
this city had made preparations to give
grand ball in honor of the District
Grand Lodge, but owing to the sudden
death of Rev. DR.. Tuska, who was 8
jealous member of Euphrates Lodge,
the ball was abandoned. We learn, how
ever, that few individual members of
the Lodges have made arrangements to
give ball next Monday evening at the
Memphis Club Hall, for which tickets
will be sold to those who wish to partici-
pate. It will no doubt be a success.
Mr.. J. Dambug and huffman are at the
head of the committee, and they will do
their utmost to make this the ball of the
season Besides the regular business of
the Lodge, the annual report of the Off
GERS of the Orphan Asylum, at Cleye-
land, will be read and acted upon by this
assembly. This community have taken
warm interest in the affairs Of this
great institution, and we hope we will be
allowed to publish TO our readers some
details Of its workings.

DESTRUCTION.

France is defeated at every point. The
recent sorties were failures, most disas-
trous. All her struggles go for nothing
all her sublime heroism encounters
nothing but defeats, and yet she hopes
on and fights on. Trochu's army in
Paris has disappointed the expectations
of the friends of France. They think
that with his means he should have
broken through the investing lines long
since. or at least should have won bat
tie, even if he did not achieve a victory.
Shells are falling in parts Of Paris, strik-
ing schools, hospitals, public libraries,
churches and private houses. Women
have been killed both in the streets
and in their beds and children in
their mothers arms. One projectile
which fell in Rue Vanguard killed
four children and wounded FIVE others.
And still the bombardment continues
without intermission. The finest works
of art in the world are being de-
stroyed, and can never be replaced.
We can remember nothing in history
more destructive in al respects than
this war Of Prussia and France. And
the nations permit it to 90 on.

A Comparison.

The controversy concerning the an
nexation of San Domingo suggests its
value when compared with the value Of
the territory annexed by Democratic
administrations. The real value Of San
Domingo is not known. The value Of
Alaska does not appear to have been
computed, for the reason, we suppose,
that il has no value These countries
have coveted the eyes Of the party now
in power One is already obtained, and
the other will be. The acquisitions
made by the Democracy really amount
to something-such as the Louisiana
purchase, by which we acquired the
mouth Of and exclusive right Of nayiga-
ton of the Mississippi river; Florida
that secured peace to our southern Dor
der from Indian incursions; and Texas,
that had been formerly ours, and given
away to Spain; California, New Mexico,
Utah and Arizona-all exceedingly VII
liable for their mineral wealth and re-
sources. The Democracy were also
willing to buy Cuba, the gem Of the
Caribbean Sea" whose exports and i'm
ports are 100000 year, and which
has a commanding position on our
shores

THE LAST HORROR.

One of the most melancholy events
that has occurred recently, is the destrnc-
ton by FIRE Of the steamer T. l.. McGill,
and the loss of fifty-eight lives Horror
crowds upon horror, whether on land or
on water. Our advance in civilization,
in the presence of these thick-coming
disasters, seems only an advance in the
art of destroying human life. A steamer
is constructed with great care, supplied
with powerful machinery, decorated like
a parlor, and fitted to walk the water
like thing Of life" but it really be
comes a thing Of death. 1t is propelled
by FIRE. There is no other motive power
so great, and none so dangerous. The
experience Of thirty years Of steamboat
explosions aud burnings does not appear
20 have suggested an efficient remedy.
Laws have been passed to punish care
lessness but all legislation so far has

NEW YORK.
A Runaway Wife from CINCINNATI
Arrested = The Steamer FLORIDA
Case-Departure of the San Do
mingO commission.

NEW YORK, January l7.-Mrs. Char
lotte Reiman, who was arrested in this
city on a telegram from the Chief of
Police of Cincinnati, charged with hav-
ing stolen $1,000 from her husband, was
arraigned before Justice Bowling yester,
day. While in court her husband ar
rived. He stated that Mrs. Reiman had
been ruined by DR.. Left, with whom
he alleged she had left Cincinnati. He
seemed anxious to induce his wife to re-
turn home with him, but she refused to
have anything more to do with him, and
it being proved to the satisfaction of the
Judge that Mrs. Reiman was woman
of integrity, he ordered her discharge
and her money returned.
The case of the United States against
the steamer Florida having been dis
missed on the grounds that there was no
proof that that vessel had been fitted
ont to make war on Spain, and no APP
peal having been taken in the case by
the District Attorney, decree has been
entered by Judge Blackford for discharg-
ing the vessel from the custody of the
marshal. As the vessel is by this de-
cree taken out of the custody of the
government authorities, it is not probable
that they will make any appeal against
the conclusion arrived at by Judge Black
ford, although the owners might take
such steps as they may be advised to re-
garding the seizure and detention of the
vessel.
The San Domingo commissioners, by
working nearly all night, managed to
get ready, and at ten clock this morn
ing proceeded to the revenue cutter,

see is now lying off quarantine, with
steam up, ready to start as soon as the
last piece of baggage is transferred from

with it an immense amount of luggage,

WASHINGTON.
Ocean CabIes-GeOrgfa Representa-
ffves.


WASHINGTON, January l7.--A sharp
encounter took place in the House yes
terday with reference TO a resolution pro
viding for a joint committee to consider
the whole subject Of the ocean cables,
which was passed week before last.
Much feeling existed, and Gen. Banks
denounced the passage of the resolution
as a gross infringement and violation of
the rights Of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. The discussion on the subject
assumed a very animated form.
Georgia has once more put In an ap-
pearance on the floor Of the House to-
day in the shape of four Representatives
lately elected in that State, who were
duly sworn in. Jefferson F. Long one

more African blood in him than any
negro yet elected to Congress.

Amusenents.

The DAyENPoRTs, The Memphis The
alter was filed last night from pit t
dome. The curious, the spiritualist ant
the doubter met to witness the strange
and mysterious proceedings of the ma
gicians or "spirit-rappers." The whole
thing was a trick, but performed in the
cleverest manner-in manner well cal
culated to defy detection At the re
quest of the brothers, two gentlemen
were selected to watch the proceedings
of the dealers in the black art. Colone
Duff and Colonel W. L. Vance tied the
Dayenports in the cabinet. The lights
were turned down, and medley
of noises came forth. Bells were
rung, violins and guitars we're played
hands were darted through the apertures,
but the doors were suddenly opened, and
the brothers sat tied hand and foot. Col.
Duff took a seat in the cabinet between
the brothers, but the same noises and
performances took place. Their deeds
are CT darkness, but who can detect them
Many believe these things are performed
through spiritual agency; others repudi-
ate that refined idea, and aver that they
are the tricks of necromancers and
adroit performers. The brothers admit
that these things cannot be done in the
open day or beneath the gas light, but
still the performance is strange and
mysterious. Tonight the Davenport
Brothers will give another wonderful ex-
hibition. Can such things be, and
overcome us like a summer cloud, with
out our special wonder?"
FowLER's LECTURE. Prof. o. S. Fow-
Ter lcctured last night at the Greenlaw
Opera House in Love, Marriage" ETC.
A large and appreciative audience was
present. The audience selected we'll
known lawyer, and his head was exam
ined by the Professor. The lecturer
convulsed the audience when he hit the
characteristics of the attorney, and this
he did with wonderful accuracy The
Professor pronounced him ambitious in
the highest degree. He said IF a
young engine could carry ITO pounds
of steam, this man can carry 200 pounds
If he is not an office-holder, it is no fault
of his. He is ambitious to become a
leader. He ought certainly to be in the
Legislature. He has glowing imagin-
alton, and is given to exaggeration. He
would magnify six into six thousand.
He has no fixed religious views, and
these hang loosely upon him. If he is
not married he ought to be, for man
who has loved SO deeply ought not to be
lying around loose He is conceited,
and thinks he knows all things" These
criticisms were so correct that the audi
ence fairly screamed with laughter dur
ing the delivery. Professor Fowler will
lecture again tomorrow afternoon and
tomorrow night.

New York Herald says:

A LETTER from Washington to the
New York Herald says
It's believed that Congressman Stokes,
Prosser and Smith, of Tennessee, will
contest for their seats upon the ground
that their Democratic opponents secured
their election by fraud, intimidation and
violence. They will assert that the acts
of the last Legislature were illegal and
void by reason of the violation of the
constitutional franchise law of the State
and by which large numbers of disfran-
chised persons were permitted to vote.
Nobody supposed that Stokes and
Smith we're idle at Washington. The
presumption that they we're plotting to
get seats in the next Congress was legiti-
mate. and turns out to be fact. We be-
heve that Smith narrowly escaped an
election. The majority against him was
the insignificant number of eight thou
sand. We suppose he will get his seat,
and Stokes also. They did not run to be
elected but to contest

NEGRO EMIGRATION.

We alluded, day or two since, to a
movement in Middle Alabama, on the
mart of the negro population, to emigrate
TO the West We took occasion to make
some suggestions as to its import, and
predicted that it would not be confined
TO one section of the South. That pre-
diction has been verified. We learn
from the Gallatin Tenn. Examiner that
the negroes of that section have held
several meetings in that place for the
purpose of agitating the subject of emf
grafton. These meetings have been
largely attended, and the work COM
menced in earnest. A large majority Of
the negroes seem to be favorable to re-
moval. That agitation of the subject
should be simultaneous in Tennessee and
Alabama, is somewhat extraordinary, but
il is probable that it has for some time
been privately discussed in all parts of
the South. Negroes are more creatures
of impulse than reason, and scheme to
better their condition, whether practical
BILE or not, would appeal irresistably to
their favor. We shall probably hear
more of this emigration movement, and
it may assume such proportion as to en-
danger tht next cotton crop in the South
That there is general desire on the pan
of the black population of the South to
get away to themselves where they can
become owners Of real estate and achieve
independence, is not to be doubted. This
subject is of vital interest to the South,
as it suggests the possibility that new
supply of labor must be obtained ulti-
mately.

As Congress is now supreme, the fair

The military authorities could not pre-
ven. a Democratic victory. The civil
authorities have been appealed to. To
annul Democratic victory, power must
reside somewhere. Congress lays its
hand on the place where its heart should
