found more prompt or liberal, and we

LEDGER LINES.

Christmas gifts will soon be the
order Of the day. The Chrstman day
visiting iiend intends to make one hun
dred calls on those who know him and
those who don't want to know him.
Memphis was never so orderly and quiet
as at present. Since the cold snap,
Court Square has been left in the peace
able possession Of General Jackson, the
keeper and the squirrels. Sitting on
the dead leaves of winter forms u ro'
mantle episode in the lives Of suburban
lovers. A roller skating rink is among
the prospective pleasures Of Young
Memphis. McEvoy's Hiberncon will
be exhibited at the Assembly Hall
next Monday evening, the 10th instant.
The streets Of Memphis are deserted at
IL o'clock at night, save by the patrol
man who watches pale Luna until day
light. The Strakosch- Patti-Mario concert
at the Memphis Theater tomorrow night
is the great musical event of the season.
Since the cold weather set in the average
Memphian has gone back on lager and
cultivates weakness for hot drinks.
Charlotte Thompson's PRESERVATION of
Jane Eyre" at the Grand Opera House
last night, delighted large and appre-
ciative audience. Go and get vaccinated
and get your registration papers before
Saturday next. The smallpox is spo.
radio and not epidemic in our city-so
say our best and most reliable physicians.
Marriages that are made in heaven
are patented on earth. Not a fire
bell has been heard for week. The
Recorders docket excites the disgust
of sensational newspaper reporters.
Money is tight and scarce in Memphis.
Asafetida, worn as an amulet around
the neck, is the prevailing fashion just
now; it keeps the smallpox at re-
spectful distance, as it does any other
man. The chap who never takes a lady
to the theater will be on the grand round
tomorrow night visiting his lady friends
at the concert and disturbing gentle
men. Recorder Winters has determined
to suppress the pernicious habit of car
rying concealed weapons; the provi-
sions of the law are eluded by darkeys
who tote razors. Mr.. j. W. S. Browne,
who has been on trial in the Criminal
Court for the homicide Of Theodore
Adams, was acquitted by the jury last
evening; the verdict was generally ex-
pected by the public The books of the
City Registrars show that light vote
will be polled at the January election.
Charlotte Thompson will appear in Only
One Wife at the Grand Opera House
tonight The Strackosch-P Patti troupe
of singers, owing to missing connection
of train at Belmont, will not reach here
before tomorrow morning; see amuse-
ment column for particulars as to
concerts and tickets. There will be
no Patti matinee next Saturday.
Charles H. H. Broom, the lessee and
manager of Broom's Opera House, died
at IL o'clock to-day of consumption.
Not an item of interest to either report
ers or the public appeared on the Re-
corders docket this morning. Henry
Allen, charged with enlightenment of
money from Oppenheimer & Co., is on
trial before the Criminal Court; YER
dict will be rendered by the jury this
afternoon.

New York has advanced &c on all grades
to-day. and Liverpool is Lied higher. This,
with an increase in both foreign and domestic
orders, makes a more lively demand, and from
present indications the sales to-day will ex-
coed those of yesterday-25OO bales. There is
a disposition on the part of factors, however,
to elevate prices even beyond the advance in
New York and Liverpool, but a majority Of
the sales reported up to noon, 1000 bales. show
that such an advance was realized only in ex-
eeptional cases. where selections were wanted
to complete lists, and even then some buyers
were Indifferent. Most of that sold to-day was
from good ordinary to low middling ut 1870
ls1zc, the latter being the outside price. We

To HAVE your life insured is to secure
your family a competency after your
death. This is something to be consid-
cred seriously. Every person admits
the necessity and the beneficial results
of life insurance, and the only question
to consider at last is, In what company
will insure my life? In searching for
a company you should look to its terms
and resources. The Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company offers the
best inducements to insurers. 1t is or
ganizcd on the purely mutual plan, there
being no stockholders. Every dollar
paid in premiums over and above an
amount sufficient to carry the risk and
keep good the very strong four per cent.
reserve fund, is returned to the insured
in proportion to the amount paid in. 1t
has now over twelve millions Of dollars
assets. What could be safer or more
profitable than an investment in such
company? The State agent, Mr.. Leo
Ehrlich, has Ais office at No. Madison
street, and will be pleased to give all
necessary information to those desiring
TO insure their lives.
