An event of personal nature which
should not pass without especial notice is
that of the retirement of Mr.. MAcFARLAED
from the presidency of the State Bank OF
Virginia, Of this city. His resignation was
unconditional. We are sure it would not
have been accepted had he left the matter
open for rejection; but it was positive.
Mr.. MAcFARLAND has been for more than
thirty years connected with the banking
institutions of Richmond, and in that rela'
ton has ever commanded the respect and
warm friendship Of the community. He
has, moreover, represented the city socially
! for many years, and he has never failed to
do its honors in manner graceful and &C.
NAL, creditable to himself, and honorable
to the city. In this manner he has laid the
people of Richmond under obligations
which wo are sure they most cordially
acknowledge.
| in retiring Mir. MAcFARLAND took occa'
sion to express his confidence in the sue
cess Of the bank which had honored him
with its first Office. 1t had no circulation,
and, rightly managed, its deposits would
continue at very steady line, assuring II
of freedom in a great degree from the
vicissitudes of institutions of circulation,
with the consequent business routine which
they must follow.
We are sure the best wishes of the public
will 60 with Mr.. MCFARLAND in his future
plans; and neither misfortune nor pain
will come to him if the solicitude of those
who have known him so long and appreci.
ate him so well can prevail.
Mr.. john L. BACON, the new President
of the State Bank, is gentleman Of long
mercantile experience and great familiarity
with financial science. We expectto see In
him an excellent bank officer.

A Batch Of C9mIcsI Typographical
Elua6ers-

There is no funnier reading in the
world than some of theprinters' blum
ders that 90 the rounds OF the papers.
Here are a few that g laugh or two
may be .ound in:
In the Office of a New York paper
there stood in type the report OF q
sermon and a paragraph about the
career of a mad dog. In ''making
up" these two got mixed, and the
readers of the paper next day were
astonished by the following melange:
1.-THE Rev. James Thompson preached
to a large audience last Sunday. This
was his last sermon previous to his
embarkation fer Europe. He exhort-
ed his brethren and sisters, and after
offering up a devout prayer, took a
within to cut some frantic freaks. He
ran up Smith street to Brown, and
down Car to College. At this stage of
the proceedings some boys seized him,
tied a tes-kettle to his tail, and let
him go. A great crowd gathered,
and for a few minutes there was 3
lively scene."
The London Home Journal once,
in describing a wedding in high life,
said that the bride was accompanied
to the alter by tight bridesmaids. The
lovely ladies were eight, not tight,

The Importance of careful punctua-
ton cannot be Insisted on too urgent

illustrate it: WANTED, a young man
TO take charge OF a pair OF horses of a

was run over by a wagon three years
old and e~ross-syed with ~pantalets and
never spoke afterward." A toast at

sion OF the South nor any Of its equally
reckless predecessors can, or could, re-
ceive their consent. That bad men,
as Democrats, secure Office by their
votes IL not their fault. They vote
the Democratic ticket because they
are true to party, because they are
true to their convictions. They Meth

in that respect offer an example
worthy Of praise rather than OF cer-
sure and infamous caricature, such ss

nents of the Democratic party can

sas, Mississippi and louisiana. The
irish support the Democratic party
because it represents the political
principles they believe in, they care

instincts they initiate. What Is the
inevitable end Of these poor "macker-
els ?" Consult the records Of our
courts. They are driven by mere
hunger to petty theft-theft makes
them the companions Of thieves-the
habit Of theft becomes inveterate-one
crime leads 70 another, and then the
end. From the FIRST moment they
are carried out in the rain into the
sloppy streets, helpless babies, to be
pinched, that they may squat q cop
per into the pockets of a vagTant
mother, they enter upon the road
that terminates at the bar OF Justice,
where they find themselves beetle
browed Tufians. In this age OF pro-
gress and moral ideas-in this land
teeming with abundance-there Is no
occasion for "mackerels," poverty and
destitute children. Those whose chill
dren are born In purple, fed on milk
and mothers kisses, their gums hui
mored with coral and their little bare
heads .cinctured with lace, should re-
solve to res,ue every ''mackerep' in
Memphis from the course of vice
which, through no fault of their own,
seems to be their inevitable inheri-
tsnce. Looking at the question in a
merely economical point of view, it
would seem more advisable to
spend a little money upon the
pariahs OF the streets when they
are young and within control than to
go on lavishing money upon them
from the date of their first detected
theft until they die in the hospital or
the Jail. The administration Of crimi-
nal justice is very costly. Prisons, as
they are now conducted, are expensive
institutions. In short, criminals are
heavy charges upon the industrious,
tax-paying portion of the community.
Surely, then, it is cheaper, as well as
more humane, to catch these young
criminals and turn them at once into
another groove, and thus give sympa-
thy and cheer 10 the dreary march
of the great army of the poor" and
thereby derive consolation in the be-
lief that
The good deeds done in tho world,
U~ncorrupted by 3 or decay,
Shall live in history, and CLEAN
Brightly, even 10 immortality"

THE FAIR-A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
AKnnInnn

nv kDs
No one doubts the success OF
our great agricultural and mechanical
fair, which is now at hand. The inter.
est taken by the President and the
managers, and the reports we hear
from every section Of the country PIE
cludes the possibility Of a failure. In
deed, the prospects are pre-eminently
encouraging. We believe a larger con-
course Of people will be thrown into
Memphis during fair week than hiss
ever c~ongregated in our midst on any
former occasion. Considerable time
and money is being expended to make
everything attractive and convenient,
and from what We a learn this ex-
hibition will be superior to anything
before held in West Tennessee. Every
body in Memphis is preparing to at
tend, and the surrounding country
will pour into our city a teeming null
titude. The %proveIbial hospitality of
Memphis must not be deficient on this
occasion. The hotels will be full to
overlooking and private houses must
be thrown open and a cordial welcome
extended to guests. We, therefore,
bid every body come.

PERSONAL

Hon. Emerson Etheridge is in the
city, and stopping at the Peabody
Hotel. We understand that il is more
than probable that Mr.. Etheridge
will make Memphis his home, and
will here engage in the practice OF his
profession. We hope so. Our city
is already the home Of many distin-
guished gentlemen, who, in other
States and other portions of our own
State, made themselves great names
as leaders Of the people; but we ven-
ture 10 say that not one of them will
command more respect frOns their
friends than Mr.. Etheridge will from
the host who here delight to honor
him. His services in behalf Of the
people of Tennessee, since the war,
can never be forgotten. His campaign
against Brownlow was the first and
fercest onslaught upon Radicalism in
the State, and its results, though not
