Many religious people object 10 others
of their fellow-citizens who, after re-
ligious services. indulge in social pleas
ures, such as visiting beer gardens. To
desire to control your neighbor's re-
ligious sentiments or social habits seems
to be most intolerant, Queen Vic
toria the head Of the English Church,
has just caused an immense amount of
scandal by her laxity of the Sabbath
observance. She has had grand state
banquet at Winsor, started TO Germany
on Sunday, travelled every Sunday, and
arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday after
noon, ye. no serious accidents occurred
during any Of these Sunday trips, nor
is an accident more likely to happen on
Sunday than any other day in the week,
unless it comes by special dispensation;
but then it ceases to be an accident, yet
philosophically speaking there can be
no such thing as an accident, there be-
ing no such thing as an unknown
cause"

Those who have not visited South
Memphis for few months, if they visited
this portion of the city at the present
time, would be astonished to find numer-
GUS buildings in course of erection. This
end of the city is improving with the
utmost rapidity. Years ago, when not
house stood south of Poplar street,
several of the old citizens, then new set
tiers, were specializing as to the south
ern boundary ofthe city. Mr.. Overton,
large proprietor, was conducted
through the woods in South Memphis,
where large and small game abounded.
He came up to the ravine running east
and west below Fort Pickering. Looking
at the confguration of the ground for a
few minutes, and gazing northward
through the woods and tangled vines,
towards the distant and unseen village
of Memphis, he remarked: Here will
one day be the southern boundary of
Memphis. These were prophetic words
spoken over thirty years ago.

A CATAcoNB.-In hidden and long
forgotten sink beneath the Shelby House,
near the cerner of Gayoso street, the
workmen engaged in tearing down the
house discovered a number of skeletons
and human bones. How or when these
human remains were placed therein has
become subject of speculation for the
curious. Tales of disappearing men or
murderous mysteries in years gone by
are floating around. 1t is also, and
with more reason, suggested that the
skeletons and bones were placed there
by medical students who roomed in the
building. A dozen or more skeletons
have been found by the workmen during
the past week. This subterranean bury
ing ground "pans out rich in curiosi-
ties, and may eventually create as much
excitement as the discovery of cata-
combs on the Appian Way near Rome,
those in Egypt near Cairo, or those dis
covered in the abandoned stone quarries
beneath the city of Paris.

CANDIDATEs.-The approaching pri-
mary election and County Convention
are beginning to stir up the candid ates
into activity and excitement. A caadi-
date is one of the most indefatigable
men on earth. He is almost omnipresent,
because he skips around with wonderful
alacrity. Wherever he is, or whomever
he may meet, he at once introduces the
election subject and his chances of sue
cess. He then distributes his cards and
adroitly solicits your vote. This done,
he is away to the next corner where a
knot of citizens by chance are assembled.
Filled with one idea, his whole being is
enthused on the election subject and, he
cannot discuss any other subject for
three consecutive seconds. He has our
earnest sympathy in his journey through
the Valley of Enthusiasm.

MysrrRIous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARAkcE.-- Yester-
day, three welLknown Mem2hians,
Charles Price, Jesse Graham and Larry
Grehan chartered sail boat at the
landing and proceeded on pleasure
excursion down the river toward Presi-
dents Island, intending to return in the
afternoon. Since that time no tidings
have been heard of them, and it is sup
posed by their friends that the boat was
capsized and the party drowned. The
relatives and friends Of the missing men
are laboring under the most painful
apprehension on account of their
absence They may come up all right
yet but this belief has but little founda-
ton, as it is known that the boat in
which they embarked was dangerous and
liable at any time to capsize.
