The Invisible Musician.

An unknown and mysterious hutist
made feeble attempt Monday night
last to keep the occupants of Madison
street building awake. When the round
moon sat on her throne about 800 above
the eastern horizon lat twelve o clock
this inveterate musician sent few faint
quayers floating out on the air like the
strains of an Eolian harp touched by
the signing west wind. Last night he
failed to disturb the unnatural stiffness.
We fear our operate neighbor has de-
parted, or had worshipped too earnestly
at the shrine Of Bacchus to be able to
pay his respects to the Goddess OF
Music. 1t may be that he despaired of
establishing permanent abode for his
Internal flute in the Fourth or Fifth
wards, and this induced him to change
his base music into other quarters, where
beer saloons and concerts abound, and
where the listeners are not particularly
critical or sensitive as to the perform
ance of well known melody by music
slayer 1t is feared the opposing anna
teur concert on a tin horn acted as
counter irritant and drove our unknown
friend with his flute from an unmusical
building into regions where the murder
ing of familiar airs is not regarded as
criminal and deserving of speedy pun
ishment.

The Gonl Of Perfection.

In one Of our recent school examina-
tons a young lady retained the badge
of honor lone of the rewards of the
school) for several sessions in success
sion, which requires that the student
shall not have missed day, nor an hour,
nor lesson, nor in any way received the
dreaded "black mark during the entire
Session. How painful this isl The
amount'of self-control necessary for a
student to have been absolutely perfect
in department for an entire session must
have been enormous. To do all this, vi
tally and young life must be crushed out
and spirit undermined forever; even the
grace, archness and youthful abandon
ment Of nature must have been ruth
lessly suppressed. There is consider
able folly in this cruel ambition of pa
rents who accept bauble as the price
of the finest elements of nature. Nor
are these rewards of merit intended to
produce such ascetic results. They are
merely intended to create generous
rivalry in schools in matters of behavior,
and not for the purpose of substituting
monastic perfection utterly at variance
with youthful impulses that are too soon
lost, and lost only to be regretted.

The bodies of two negroes were dis
covered floating in the Mississippi, back
of Newton Ford & Co.'S cotton she'd in
South Memphis, last evening. One Of
the bodies was secured; the other hoated
out into the stream and was car
ried away, whirling into the eddies.
The body found was terribly decom-
posed, leaving no clue as to the. identity
of the drowned man. This morning
Coroner MoHatt held an inquest on the
remains, and the jury of inquest re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts above mentioned. l

somnamhnIist.

A gentleman rooming in the third
story of the Peabody arose from his bed
last night, and with candle in hand, like
the lady in La Somnambula, walked
forth in garments white and heecy.
There was no soft music TO aid the sleep
walker in his role. He reached the win
dow, the soft moon and twinkling stars
looking complacently down upon the
scene. For an instant he looked up at
the heavens. and then down into the
alley, thirty feet below, and bravely
walked out into the air. Fortunately
for the somnambulist there was a
small shed-roof ten feet below his
window, upon which roof he alighted
with great force, and to which he
chung with the tenacity of barnacle to
