Mr. WALKS LEcTURE.-The lecture
at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
this evening by Rev. David Walk will be
largely attended. The subject chosen
by the reverend gentleman" Our Rela-
tons to the Invisible World affords a
fine scope for the exercise of his fine
oratorical and rhetorical powers. As
the lecture is to be given for the benefit
of the Leath Orphan Asylum, every
body whose heart is sensible to an emo
ton of sympathy will be only too glad
to contribute something to the orphans,
and at the same time listen to an able
and interesting lecture.

MEMPHIS ENTERPRISE.
A steam Lead Pipe and BRr Lead
Mandatory In Full blast.

Mandatory In Full Hast.
The enterprise of our mechanics was
never more clearly exemplified than it
was few days since by Phil. j. Mallon
4 Co., the gas-ftters and plumbers at
No. 204 Main street. These enterprising
gentlemen, knowing the wants Of the
Southern country, determined TO erect
lead-pipe and bar-lead mandatory in
our city. Having purchased costly ma
chinery, they went to work, and to-day
are turning out pipe Of all sizes of q
quality that equals, il it does not excel,
anything manufactured. in Eastern or
Western cities. In the rear of their es-
tablishment splendid engine oftwenty-
horse power, to which are attached boil
ers capable of generating steam suffi-
cient to drive the machinery, has been
put up with the necessary hydraulic
pumps. The lead-pipe is driven upward
steadily, the pump having pressure of
from seven hundred to one thousand tons.
The machinery is capable Of turning out
five tons of pipe per day. Crowds OF
citizens were in attendance this fore
noon watching the beautiful process.
The pipe is made to vary in calibre from
onc-quarter inch, classed light, strong,
extra strong, to three and one-half
inches; and in thickness from one
quarter to three-eighths inches. In
quality and price Mallon 4 Co. are able
and willing to compete with the best
manufactures in the country. These
gentlemen are practical plumbers, and
understand thoroughly the wants of the.
community. The nnmberless uses for
lead-pipe in buildings, water-works, etc.,
will create an immense demand for pipe
from this, the only mandatory in the
South. Fourteen years ago Mr.. Mallon
established small business in Mem
phis, but now he stands at the head of
splendid mandatory. Every citizen
and stranger visiting our city should
go to see this establishment. Mr.. NAL
lon and his assistants are anxious that
all should come, and he will take pleas.
ure in showing and explaining to all
visitors the process by which lead
pipe and bar lead are manufactured
Colonel Hamilton, Superintendent of
the Southern Express Company, visited
the works to-day, and learning that Mr.
Mallon intended to send specimens of
his pipe and bar lead to the Nashville
Exposition, rendered him transportation
by express free Of cost for any amount
of pipe he may desire to exhibit. The
works are worth visiting, and we advise
our readers to avail themselves of the
opportunity of seeing the beautiful pro-
cess by which the pipe is manufactured.

CONFEDERATE PIcNIo.-It should be
remembered that next Saturday is the

association in Memphis of benevolent
character in which we should all feel q
common interest, it is the Confederate
Relief Association, which seeks to pro-
vide for the unfortunate and destitute of
our fallen heroes.

BROKEN Down AGAIN, AND THE
HORSES Run Orr While returning from
the fire last night the front axle of the
Hook and Ladder truck broke, and the
driver was suddenly thrown forward, by
which he was severely injured, and the
horses SO frightened that they broke and
ran off up Main street, starting at Four
teenth. At the first jump the coupling
was snapped and the hind wheels and
ladders left in charge of the engineer, while
the horses made time with the forewheels.
They kept on up Man, street, part
of the time on the sidewalk, till they
reached the railroad track. Here they
turned to the left, paid Oregon Hill a visit,
and finally stopped to blow in the hollow
near the penitentiary, where they were cap
tured. The horses were badly injured
about the feet and legs, and the old truck
is wreck. Another large item of expense
to be charged against this old apparatus,
which should have have been long ago put
out Of service, and a new machine substi-
tuted.
