Is called q 1JeruEalem Overtsker," and
in Webstcr's unabridged the explanation
win be given, that visitors of the Holy
Land are generally lousy, and the name
Of the insect finally became suggestive
Of the pilgrim himself. A full explana-
ton of all these curious matters Will be
found on the ninetisth page Of Max
Mueller's great pathological workrecently
published at Cambridge. The Jerusalem
Overtaker is mainly designed to pull the
wool over the greasy eyes Of Africa, while
the editor, unkempt, unwashed, is the
verisst sans cWfotfe that ever danced at
tendance about the throne of the coun-
try's imperial master.
"A resolution instructing the sheriff 70
hold no election to fill the vacancy in the
magisterial bench made by the death of
Justice Burke until certain contests now
going on before the supreme court shall
been decided, was rejested. The matter of
holding the election is left by law in the
hsnds of the sheriff, whose statutory duty
1t Is to give notice and hold an election
when it becomes known to him that any
vacancy occurs. The fourteenth district
is entitled to three justices. The county
court adjudged that Messrs. Burke,
Elliott and Moore were the properly elect
ed 'squires, which Norton, Hall snd Mike
Pyne contested, each for his own right.
Norton and Hall pitched in and followed
the business anyhow, not caring q hg for
the county court. In view OF the contest
going on before the supreme court, the
question arises in the mind Of the sheriff,
may not the propersrepresentstive of the
Judicial sense Of the people be still hving9
can l. therefore, hold q election to fill q
vscsncy which the supreme court may de-
eide does not existf The best way for the
sheriff Is TO 60 on and hold the election.
There is vacancy In the county court; he
Is aware of that fact. Let there be an
election, then, to i'll it. The supreme
ward.

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
How q Reliable Clerk Betrayed His
Trust and Deceived the Members
OF the Church.

Captain Athy received the following
dispatch yesterday from Sardis, Missis-
sippi:
ttR. h. Strauss stole one thousand five
hundred dollars in gold last night. De-
scriptiorl-FiYe feet ten inches, dark hair,
light moustsche, light eyes, open and in
tenigeni face, German decent, speaks bro
ken English, little stoop-shouldered, and
slightly lame In left foot, caused by an in
jury to his heel. Wears black cloth
coat, half-cape velvet collar, dresses in
black cloth, black soft felt hat, wears
breastpin, gold leaf, enameled green, with
square and compass. He has on nj of
his shoulders q large patch of hair. He
left on the train going st eight O'Clock last
night, which connects with the train at
Grenada. on the Central railroad, going
north. We believe his intention Is to 60
to Europe. Telegraph to all points for
him and put your detectives on his track.
Five hundred dollars reward Is offered for
him."
Signed by the Mayor, DR.. D. B. Nc
Henry.
Strauss was very highly respected by
all who knew him. he formerly lived in
New Orleans. Fifteen hundred dollars
VIII be spent, If necessary, to capture
him.
Strauss was a very reliable and sort of a
pious young man who was much respect
cd in his town. Had been In the employ
of DR.. Kinchloe and was considered ex-
tremely respectable and relisble. He had
graduated in the drug business at New
Orleans and was in Ssrdis some two or
three years. For the first time the doctor
left tho keys with his trusty Waterman
to lock up the store. Strauss went into
the safe tor one Thousand two hundred
dollars in greenbacks and three hundred
dollars in gold, While manipulating the
lock tie DOCTORS son saw him through
the keyhole and went to notify his father.
When the old man returned Strauss was
gone. He had taken the eight O'Clock

MENkEN,s
A Grand Affair on Wednesday and
EhursdaY-The Fashion Of Moza-
phis Cut.

On Wednesday and Thursday Menksn
Brothers had their grand spring opening.
The first named was the day advertised,
but It was continued over to Thursday In
order TO permit ali who desired to
enjoy and participate in 1t. This
house. which ranks amongst the
hrst and largest in the South, hiss al
ways been noted for the extent and
beauty OF the stock with which It tempts
the fair daughters Of Eve at the beginning
OF every SEASON. This spring of 1872 was
no exception to the rule. The store, which
Is most conveniently located at the conner
OF Court and Main streets, wa on We'd
nesday more inviting than ever and was
visited by g larger crowd than ever, before
crushed and crowded within 1t. The
clerks, embracing as large and thorough
q stan as Is to be found in the Mississippi,
were inadequate to the task of waiting
upon the customers who hocked in and
out all day in the best possible humor
with themselves, with the proprietors and
their assistants, expressing themselves
delighted at the rich variety Of fabrics and
the bewildering extent of resource In
stock with which the Menken's have this
year fairly out-rivalled all their previous
efforts in that line. The elegant laces
and the Dolly Vardens were the subject
Of especial comment, and purchases of
both were made upon q large scale. II
was remarked by many that the stock of
this house WA complete In every variety
of goods that women can use in spring or
summer, and that the resdy.made under
wear and walking suits, were beyond
compare, elegant and fashionable. But
the retail department which thus excited
the establishment and delight Of the wo-
men of Memphis is only one Of the fea-
lures of Menken Bros. business. Their
wholesale department Is equally well
stocked, and we are glad to be able to say
Ii equally well patronized. Country desl-
ers viii make q note of this.

The Removal of h Bluffs through the
Agency of the FtFe-EngInes-VteWs
Of q Practical Scientist.

EDITORS APPEAL-The matter of using
the city's ire-extinguishers for removing
the bluffs is under discussion among men
of theory. Permit q practical person to
say q word on the subject. AS a primary
proposition, which canno be disputed, ft
may be laid down that it will take a GER
tain amount of force to remove the bluffs
9 given distance. That amount of force
must be always the same. They could be
removed ten yards down the leves by the
application of less artificial force, If I may
so speak, than they could be moved ten
yards the other way, because the natural
force Of gravitation would assist in such q
movement. In the manner of applying
force there may be q vast saving, but / am
of opinion that such saving cannot be
effected by using water. l can rasdily
see and admit that a stream Of water APP
piled with sufficient force would soon cut
q horiz 1ntsl channel in the face Of the
bluff, allowing the superintendent mass
to topple yer Of Its oWn weight, but in
conveying that mass of dirt into the river
it would be found that the fire engines
are very slow and unsatisfactory workers.
It would take one Of your fire extinguish-
ers ten hours to completely work ten tons
of dirt from the foot of the bluff to the
river. Two men and q mule can move
twice that quantity In b same time.
These will cost about six dollars. The
cost ofthe engine is best known to the city
authorities. But in as much as those
engines and the men who take care of
them are already under pay and are not
in active employment more than one
fortieth of their time, there is no good
reason why they might not be employed
occasionally In removing an odd chunk Of
the bluffs We might hui in time get
rid of those dirt heaps without any ap-
probably outlay. MECHANIC.

It was remarked by some victims of
hash, ON Wednesday night, in the COM
mon council chamber, that ali the mem.
bers appeared to have first cousins who
are engaged in the COW interest, they APP
pear so mighty anxious to save the dsiry-
men from the dire effects of the lactome-
ter. Professor Tyndal, of Dublin, has
snslyzsd milk and found that the best
"coW juice" contains eighty-eighb per
cent. OF pure water. By putting a gallon
of water into 8 gallon of milk what do
you getP why, the twelve per cent. of nu-
tritiouB matter that exists In the one gal
Ion Is then divided between the two, and
the new compound contains ninety-four
per cent. of pure and mixed water, The
people who have nursing babies, or q PEN
chant for milk punches, are maddened
every morning by looking at the quart of
pale blue Neutrality-suspicious. parts water
FOR which their nickles have just been paid
to the so-oslled milkman. The modern
and terrestrial Aquarius as DR.. Hosrner
testihes, peddles over nine-tenths of water
and less than one-tenth of milk. What is
the fact7 1t has been found that g small
can of condensed milk, costing thirty
cents, will make over two gallons Of better
lsoteal than car be purchased In Memphis
for n dollar. It Is not expected OF course
that the members Of the general council
should be acquainted with these scientific
facts which are conned over and learned
by reporters and profound students.
