As winter draws on apace lovers OF
oysters smack their lips in anticipation
Of the feasts they are to enjoy during
the season. As they revert to the past
and think of the numerous "jolly good
feeds they have had in times bygone,
Madame Vincent fills a conspicuous
place in the picture as having furnished
the most cosy retreats wherein they lux
uriated upon luscious bivalves, and
where the Accomplishments to the mol
luscian banquet were the most tempting.
Their mouths grow moist at the thought
of how well prepared the affable and
obliging Madame now is to further their
comfort. The Palace, just off Main
street, opposite Court Square, has been
reftted aud refurnished in the hand
Soonest style, and arrangements made
for daily supply of the finest oysters
obtainable in Norfolk, both in cans and
az haturel. This iutimatiou is all the
hosts of friends of Madame V. will need
to enable them to find the right place.
AS usual, families supplied with oysters
at the most reasonable rates. .ll

For several days in our Circuit Court
has been progressing trial of great
magnitude about a small pocket.hand-
kerchief. This necessary article has
played the deuce in the worlds history.
1t raised Cain between 0thello and Des-
demona In Venice. Then IL was one
spotted with strawberries. =, and one,
which, according to the Moor, did an
Egyptian to my mother give" etc, but
this statement was evidently false
because the Moor afterward said, 1T
was an antique token my father gave
my mother and so the handker-
chief flew through history from time
immemorial. 1t has been used as
a flag of truce both in Love and
War. Eve had no pocket-handkerchief,
the Adamite style OF dress not being
adapted to the wearing Of such inven-
tons. She no doubt wiped her eyes
with a fig leaf when Adam charged her
with stealing apples from the street
corner fruit stand. Cleopatra, Helen
Of Troy, Aspasia, Sappho, all used hand
kerchiefs. So did the danes Of tn, Mid
die Ages, who fastened them on th he'll
NETS of their knights. Philip Z lrton
Key was killed by Sickles becau. Q he
used handkerchief in front Of his DOM
icil. Our Memphis article had no such
romantic history. 1t was diminutive,
white, elegantly embroidered. took an
old lady several years to finish, and
was valued at one hundred and twenty,
five, dollars. Two years ago it was
placed on exposition at the Shelby
County Fair, and was so much adj
mired by a thief that he or she
stole it from the Industrial Hall
A demand was made on the Mechanical
and Industrial Association for its value,
and the demand refused, all of which
brought up first-class lawsuit. The
declaration and pleas were fled by able
lawyers, and the case is up for hearing
at present before judge and twelve ju-
rors, good men and true. Able counsel
argued the case yesterday and to-day.
The history of handkerchief was
learhedly dug up and discussed The
ten-inch square piece Of gossamer Gre
ates the greatest excitement in legal
circles, and yesterday the able counsel
drew SO affecting picture of its loss
that the judge, clerk, deputy sheriff,
Jurors and spectators unavoidably drew
from hidden precincts handkerchiefs OF
divers colors and qualities, with Which
they wiped away the. perspiration from
their manly brows. Legal cobwebs
found in dusty text books were exhumed
and smashed by oratory. To-day the
jury will take the case and return q
verdict on a dirty. piece of paper not
much smaller than,the lost article. So
muchfor the loss of a diminutiyeD piece
Of embroidery and Of fictitious value. Z

HORACE xIaynara tn memphis.

Horace Maynard, the Radical candi-
date for Congress from the State at large,
reached the city yesterday afternoon,
aud was escorted to the Square last night
by a procession composed exclusively of
colored constituents,. who formed the
sum and substance OF his audience when
he arose to speak. In the course of the
evening, however, a number of citizens
dropped in to hear the remarks of the
leader of the Radical party in this State,
and probably, if it, had been generally
known that he was going to speak, the
Square would have been well filed. His
entire speech, as far as we heard, was
devoted to the laudation of President
Grant and a eulogy oihis administration.
He touched on johnson and Cheatham
very lightly, and said very little of his
own candidacy for Congress, compara-
lively. His whole effort seemed to be to
speak for and applaud General Grant;
and it must be said there was very little
in his speech to Indicate that be was a
candidate for Congress. 1t is just pos
sible that he knows General Cheatham's
strength so well as to be confident of his,
own defeat, and he takes this method Of
preparing the way to Federal appoint
ment.

We have nothing of particular interest to
report in connection with monetary affairs
to-day. Everything is quiet. but underneath
the surface there Is everywhere visible strong
feeling, and il is evident that aceommoda-
tions are not obtained unless accompanied by
collaterals of an undOubtod character, and
even then they have use for all their available
money now in moving cotton. The rates of
interest at the banks Is l0gl2 & cent, and on
the street il varies from 2eSH d cent. q
month. D
The demand for Eastern exchange is some
what better to-day. and several of the banks
are doing quite large counter business. Com
mercial bills are taken at ss9&c discount. and
the rate Is decidedly firm. One year ago to-
day the rate was firm at 1lS3se discount and
the indications now are that in the course of a
few days that will be the rate. Eastern checks
are sold at par. aE No
