A Big Docket ana LfveIy Time.
Yesterday was good time for dsunks.
About forty of the bibulously inclined
paid fines to the Recorder this morning,
ssngina from five to twenty-five dollars
each, according to the quality OF the
whisky, as evidenced by their conduct
after taking. A dozen or SO Of dray-
drivers were up for running their drays
without license, They were fined and
required to take out license. Johnny
Tomsin was required to contribute fifty
dollars for using abusive language, and
advised 10 keep his tongue under better
control in future. Phil Roper, feeling
little drowsy, laid down on the sidewalk
for little nap yesterday, and while thus
reposing David Hahin came along and
relieved him of his pocket-beok, contain
ing eight or ten dollars. Roper was
fined five dollars for sleeping on
the sidewalk, and Haain was sent
to Jail without bail for his APP
pearance before the Criminal Court.
Pat Malowney was bound over in the
sum of 81, 900 for his appearance before
the Grand Jury, on the charge Of steal
ing property to the value of seven dol
lars from Mary Douglas, and Geo. John
son in the same amount for being aces
sorry to the act. Clara Dean, for going
into the street to disrobe, was fined ten
dollars, and Lizzie Forrest, for indecent
exposure of person, was fined twenty
five dollars. Two young men who
watch cotton on the bluff, went into a
saloon Saturday night to get a drink
when third party came up and wanted
to be counted in. A fight ensued, when
the watchmsn very sensibly handed his
pistol over to the bar keeper before
wading in. Two of the parties were
fined, and the case of toe third under

Some weeks ago colored man named
Ralph Harrison, living near German
town in this county, was bitten by a
mad dog, and soon after was attacked
with violent symptoms of hydrophobia,
and rapidly grew worse and worse until
death came to his relief. During his
last hours, while in a state of frenzy
and delirium, he charged another negro
with having poisoned him. This would
not have been noticed by the whites un-
der such circumstances, but the friends
of the deceased, who mostly or all be-
long to 'Fsociety, called on the negro
named by the one who died, and taking
him TO some sweet sequestered spot,
where hickory spouts grow long and
sweet and tough, and then and there
proceeded TO loosen his hide for HIM with
said sprouts in the most approved ku-
Klux style. Next day, and for many
DAYS after, he was as tender as a boiled
onion, and has only very recently made
his appearance in front of his little bed.
His wife nursed him and he nursed his
wrath. He is cured, but his wrath is no
better. 1t is said that he knows his in
quisitors, and that they will be severally
interviewed by the Sheriff.

The dust is again settled. The
Witches Of New York at the Theater to-
night. All the Courts were in session
this morning. The Exposition opens
two weeks from tomorrow. The great
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and In
diana vote tomorrow. There was very
little church-going yesterday, on account
of the inclement weather. Woodruff
will lecture Memphis during the winter.
Itisn't fashionable now to conceal jew
elry in a cooking stove. For the benefit
ofsome Of our exchanges we would state
that Publicist" is writer on the laws
Of nature and of nations, and not, as
they seem to imagine. publisher OF
books or newspapers. There is COM
plant from the suburbs that the streets
are very poorly lighted, the lamps burn
ing dimly when lighted, and only lighted
occasionally. Some ridiculous beta are
now being made on the election next
November. A fellow who is Disguised
with the manner in which stocks, milk
and whisky are s.watered, says they
will keep ON fooling with water till it de-
populates the earth again. The project
Of paving Vance street is progressing
fsvorably Several famous trotters will
contend for the one hundred dollar purse
at our county Fair. A huge weather
map will be exhibited at the Memphis
Exposition next week by the Signal Ser
vice Bureau The heavy rains yester-
day gave the Nicolson pavement good
cleaning, and cooled the atmosphere
considerably. Street car politeness
is the theme of discussion in many of
our exchanges at present, and the la
dies are not always highly complimented
in these discussions. The attendance
at the theater this evening will probably
be larger than on any evening last week,
as everybody is anxious to see the
Witches Of New York and Aiken. One
of our banking houses, ON Saturday, did
