An Old Man Robbed Of Eve Thousand
Five Hundred Dollars. 1

Last night the most successful robbery
of the age was peTpetrated on old Jack
Allen, who has lived at IS DeSoto street
for half q century past. He had left his
little house and locked it at about seven.
Returning about nine o'clock, he found
the door open, and just inside Of it his
bureau drawer on the floor, with the
lining riied, and seven thousand five
hundred dollars gone, besides 8 thousand
dollar City of Memphis bond. 1t was
the savings of years. No wonder the
heart ofthe poor man sunk in his bosom.
He rushed at once to the station-house,
ON Adams street, streams of sweat trick
ling down his terrOr-stricken counte-
nance, and called for assistance. He
managed to procure two detectives, who
went with him to ferret out the thieves.
The place where Mr.. Allen lives is
thickiy inhabited by negroes. He
has some dozens of them living on his
own property himself, and it is thought
that they watched him closely until they
found out where he kept bis treasure,
and then awaited themselves of the first
opportunity to rob him, which they did
with terrible effect.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
The Coming CeiebratsOn-Four States
Represented.

The committee of arrangements, Sc
lected by the board of managers Of the
Memphis and Shelby County Sunday
School Union, to provide for the annual
celebration, have selected Friday, May
10th, as the most suitable day for the
occasion, and hereby extend an invita-
ton to all Sunday schools in Memphis
and the surrounding country and ada
cent towns to participate. No special
invitations will be issued. To prevent,
IS far as possible, confusion or dissatis-
faction, visiting schools will please take
note of the following, viz:
First-Each school will appoint an
assistant marshal, to report to the COM
lnittee at the depot in Memphis.
Second-Arrangements viii be made
with the railroads to furnish cheap
transportation, to be issued to superin-
tendents of schools for the number OF
teachers and scholars who wish to at
tend.
Third-On account of the impossible
ty of providing tables and refreshments
for so many children the committee
deem it best for each school to bring a
lunch with them, which can be left in
baskets with a committee at each depot
until the ceremonies are over.
Committees will be at each depot to
receive visitors and to give all necessary
information.
d. GOBER, Chairman.
J. L. WEXFORD, Secretary.
All newspapers friendly to the Sunday
school cause are requested to publish
this for the information of the public.

TEE PLANTRRs, MACHINE.


so fiattering and universal have been
the enconiums bestowed upon Dugan's
substitute for fifteenth amendments that
the place of Milburn q Walker, No. 81
Union street, has been literally besieged
by gentlemen from the interior,
interested as all planters are in every
thing which pertains to the welfare of
the South, examining its every part
with the most serutinizing and critical
accuracy. The test given this machine
in Hopef1eld, and more recently &C the
{" Old Race Track" Convinced all pres
ent that the machine would perform all,
ven more, than its inventor has
claimed for 1t; and the many orders re-
ceived by Messrs. Milburn 4 Walker
since these public exhibitions, evince the
appreciation of the public in all that
tends to encourage the ingenuity of the
people OF the South, or the development
of her soil. And this appreciation is not
newborn, but has always manifested it
self wherever true genius required fOs-
tering, or a worthy enterprise appealed
for encouragement.
When we run a new machine, spe-
cially designed for II section, and cal
culated to solve the great problem of
labor IN the South, and moreover when
its efficiency, simplicity and practical
bility is endorsed by some of the best
agricultural minds of the country, We
feel it to be a duty as well as a pleasure
to call the attention Of the farming COM
munity to it. The markets of the South
have been crowded to su~ffocatiOn with
machinery proposing to do the work of
hands, and the inventors
have come TO us in many instances and
asked us to assist them in placing their
inventions in the market. Our readers
will bear us witness that we have de-
elined all such propositions. The ma
chine mentioned in this article we re-
gard as worthy of the commentator
and patronage of the people of the en-
tire South, and hence we have not re-
Trained from commencing its merits.
And in conclusion we would say to
those who have not seen it work and
who have not seen il at the agency, that
is well worthy of the serious consider
alton and attention of every planter.
One seasons work will demonstrate that
he IA save by it enough to buy a half
dozen extra mules, and dispense with
fully twenty able hands. One hand and
two mules-Or hOrses-can work it, and
the machine will bed-up, plant, chop
out, scrape, sweep and cultivate all the
team can walk over during the season.

LIQUORS.

The new stock of liquors which the
season requires is already laid in by Mr..
John Lilly, 351 Main street. In adj
eition TO his habitual extensive supply
Of the best brandies, WHISTLES, ale and
porter, he has a large and choice selec-
tion of light and choice wines for sum-
Iner use, and cordials of all sorts. Those
who esteem sound liquor at anything
like its real value, will find that Mr.
Lilly can come up to their ideas of ex-
eellence, no matter how high they
may be,

THE STOVE.

Wetter holds the field undisputed in
the matter of stoves. The. Champion is
the great cooking institution. 1t con-
sumes less wood, bakes better bread,
preserves a more uniform heat, and gives
less trouble than any other cooking APP
paratus in the world. 1t never smokes,
is easily kept in order, will last unim-
paired for years, and gives as much sat
isfaction at the end as at the beginning.
These are the sterling qualities which
Keeps Wetter's champion stove at the
head of the business and without a rival.

DRUGS.

The finest stock of fresh drugs in
Memphis, the most careful prescription
clerks, and the most accomplished drug
lgist, are at the corner of Main and
Union streets-Moseley's. AS physic
and drugs of various sorts enter so large
ly into the economy of every household,
it is of the utmost importance to estab-
lish business relations with q careful,
reliable, respectable house. Moseley,
at the corner of Main and Union, comes
lid to the standard.

The heavy rsin Of Friday night
cleared the atmosphere of moisture, and
last night the stars shone out with unu-
sual effulgence. In the western hori-
ION, as Is complete darkness set in,
that beautiful phenomenon, the zodiac
al light, was visible, the head OF The
slanting cone reaching to the pleides in
Taurus-better known as ''the seven
stars'l-the base resting ON the horizon.
This appearance-which much resem-
bles the faint light of the milky way
Il evidently connected with the sun, for,
while appearing in the west at this time
Of the year, it Is seen in the east before
the rising Of the sun at the opposite
portion Of the year. Observers will see
it from the bluff, or other places giving
a view of the western horizon, for some
weeks to come, after the sun has set and
the sky has become dark.

~THE A

The saloon of Duncan Maclean, at the
corner of Second and Monroe streets,
known as the Bay Horse" has long
been remarkable for the purity of its
drinks and for the extent of its custom.
The two features go together. The
celebrity of the Bay Horse was
sehieved ON the basis of pure liquors,
the only true and lasting foundation for
q. solid and secured trade in "a saloon.
Maclean, of course, knew this, and hence
he spared no pains nor expense in pro-
curing gin from Holland, whisky from
Scotland and IrelAnd-an old and pure
wines which come to him direct from
the winners in France, with the custom
house seals still on the baskets. He en-
joys an almost exclusive trade in the
sale of BASIS East India pale ale, a most
delicious summer drink, Guinnesses'
brown stout and XXX porter, which he
Keeps on draught and serves up to his
customers in the original pewter pots,
which have become historical through
the writings of the great novelists.

THE WEED.

Kaufman & Bros. have removed
their great tobacco and cigar business
from the corner of Second and Jefferson
streets to the splendid store under the
Odd Fellows Hall, where they exhibit
& new stock of goods which has no rival
this side of New Orleans, or Havana,
perhaps. The house has always been
remarkable for the choicest cigars, and
has, consequently, enjoyed q vast pat
Tonage. The new store is an improve
ment on the old one in the particular of
its supply, as well as in location; and is
beginning already to feel the happy eff
fleets of the change in the rapidly in
creasing trade which is a guarantee of a
wider fame and a more permanent than
could be hoped for in the other place.
This great cigar store is conspicuous by
reason of its green front and the crowds
Of people who are found in it or about its
doors at nearly every hour in the day.
THE present stock of cigars is a vast one,
snd entirely new-the finest brands even
brought to Memphis. The Kaufmans
wholesale as well as retail. In both
branches their business hOurishes.

Most families are preparing for summer
housekeeping now, and are cleaning,
renOvating and fixing up their parlOrs,
bedrooms, kitchens, closets, and other
household sanctuaries. In the midst of
all this fuss and turmoil, call on Fegan.
If you want a reliable easy chair call on
Fegan. If you wish windOw-curtains,
safes, see Fegan,
go SECOND STREET. .
Go to Fegan's great furniture empOri-
UNI, where he has for sale a great variety
of bedroom furniture for cottages and
country residences. He, notably, has
better and cheaper carpets than can be
had outside of Brussels. Fegan does
an immense business in this line, be-
cause he keeps an immense stock and
sells at reasonable profits. From beauti-
full marble top carved tables to kitchen
furniture there is no selection in Mem
phis like that of Fegan. In dining-roOm
furniture, hone can rival him. He has
an extensive variety of hall-setts of all
prices and every conceivable style.
1t is in the parlor, however, that Fe-
gan shines. His elegant lounges, sofas,
h~air-bOttomed and ~silk-eovered chairs
would invite the austere limbs of an an
chOrite to repOse. In one word, from
the top of the house to the cellar, or
from the kitchen &c the garrett there is
article necessary all the way up or
down which you cannot procure at Fe-
gan's better and cheaper than it is posi-
bic you can get them elsewhere.
