On one of tho earliest days fine
present week we found ourselves,
at sunrise, inside of Howell's turn
gp.., behind two pair of aristocratic
mules, in company with n few
friends who appreciated the situa-
ton and were ripe for Il trip in the
country. Arriving at Col. Lewis
L. Smiths, that gentleman received
us in his Wqst courteous and refresh
ing manner, and soon had an ele'
CANT breakfast prepared, to which
wc did ample justice Col. Smith
taking reserved..seat in our "leath-
ern convcnicncy," we rolled leisure
ly along, our objective point beng
Col. Sim Orr's. Bn route We intor-
viewed the crops, and found them
magnificent, with very few cxcep-
tons. Cotton, ifany thing, is grow
ing too luxuriantly, Corn, much of
which is already made, promises
the greatest yield for many years
mach Of it will yield 10 bushels to
the acre. We were received by
Col. Orr and his estimable family
with that genuine hospitality which
would take the restraint off from
any one who doesn't wear paper
collars. An elegant dinner, ri
waiGh our capacity for roast mutton
was tested, n sieSta on the lawn,

MEMPHIS. TENN: SATURDAY EVENING. JULY g. 1872
I'm ,hs matter OF an UmbreIIa.

The Pail Mall Gazette, after its own
delicious manner, tells ms that 0 subject
of more than national Importance was
discussed recently at a general quarterly
meeting Of the vestry Of one of the
largest and most important parishes OF
London-St. Pancras. A question arose
concerning the loss of an umbrella by
one Hoppey, vestryman. The chair
man stated, we are told, that at the last
meeting of the yestry Mr.. Hoppey lost
his umbrella, and he 1.-THE chairman
trusted that If any gentleman had taken
it by mistake he would return it. He
mentioned the matter with considerable
reluctance, and he hoped no gentleman
would be offended with him for doing so;
but it was most important that every
member of the vestry should feel that
any property he brought with him to
the Vestry Hall was perfectly safe there.
Mr.. Hoppey, the Pail Mall informs us.
himself next addressed the meeting and
spoke with considerable feeling and
effect. he had, he said, when Neating
the parish bounds lost another umbrella,
but he did not mind that SO much as
many strangers were present, as he
did losing his umbrella in the Vestry
Hall. The umbrella which he lost in
the hall, was. he added, green silk one
the handle forming knob. 1t is
much to Mr.. Hoppey's credit, the
Pail Mall thinks, that he grieves
more over the loss of the second than
the first umbrella; it is evident that his
feelings are wounded not so much at
being deprived of the useful article re-
ferred to as at the fact that ii was lost in
the Vestry Hall. 1t was not an enemy
who did Mr.. Hoppey this dishonor, but
one of his own familiar friends with
whom he was in the habit of taking
sweet counsel, and whom he implicitly
trusted as brother in the great local
selfgovernment family Nor has Mr..
Hoppey alone suffered, for another YES
tryman complained that he had lost his
umbrella on former occasion, aud
once nearly lost his hat. Some symp-
toms of levity we're displayed by the
vestry during the painful discussion, but
were promptly repressed by the chair
man, who expressed regret that the sub
iect should be made matter OF Joke,
and hoped that tho umbrella would be
returned to Mr.. Hoppey. In the chair.
mans hope. likewise let us hope the
whole civilized world will heartily join;
but the laxity of conscience generally
displayed with regard to umbrellas leads
us to fear that there is little prospect of
Mr.. Hoppey again meeting his umbrella
in this world of sin and sorrow.

The German words lager beer signify
stock beer that has been stored away,
The story as told in Germany is an old
one, and runs thus, "Very many years
ago shoemaker near Bamburg sent his
apprentice to get some Bamburg beer
which was sold at that place, but the
boy, not knowing this, went to the city
itself. On returning he met an &C
quaintance of his, who told him that
when he would come his boss would
whip him for staying so long. The poor
boy, who was frightened at this, thought
it better not to go home at all but
took his bottle, buried it under a tree,
and ran away. He went among the
soldiers, where he. distinguished him
self, so that in a short time he became
an officer. When one day his regiment
was quartered in this town, the officer
thought proper to pay a visit to his old
boss, but not before he had got the bot
tie of beer which he had buried some
years before under the tree. When he
entered he said: "Well, sir, here l bring
you that bottle of beer you sent me for. I"
The shoemaker, not knowing what he
meant, was told by the officer all about
it. The bottle was then opened, and the
beer was found to be of superior quality.
When this was known some of the brew
ors built deep vaults where they put
their beer, and called it, after it had lain
there some time, lager, which meant
nothing but lying The officer after
wards married the doughter of the shoe
maker, and drank good deal of lager
beer, receiving in that occupation the
assistance of his fatherin-law.
