q Neighlp show their displeasure at
every attempt to use any other prepare

duction at St. Louis, at the close of the
Mexican War, in lS49, it has proved a

curing, with absolute certainty and won

spawn, ring-bone, pollevil, scratches,

removing the painful affections which
attack the muscles, sinews and external

THEsPIAN CoRPs.-Why do not some
of our literary young ladies and gentle
men organize Thespian corps or dra-
matte association and give a few select
entertainments during the pleasant eve
nings of the summer season when there
is no sort of amusement in the city
Our people are ripe for amusements
now, and good amateur dramatic or
musical entertainment would fill either
one of our theaters or halls. A sufficient
sum might be realized in. this way to
secure the establishment of a public
library, of which this city stands sadly
in need. If some of our benevolent
ladies would only form nucleus in this
way there are plenty Of public spirited
citizens who would literally add to the
fund. Who will make an effort in this
direction?

DREAMS AND PREsEETIMENTs.- There
are some people Of such doubling pro

to acknowledge belief in dreams OF
premonitions, and yet the public press
daily teens with instances of the verif-
cation of presentiments. Here, for in

n..... CONVENTION.


The Convention TO nominate II candi
date for Congress, two State Senators
aud Floater convened in the Second
Chancery Courtroom at halfpast eleven
o'clock this morning. Harry Hill Esq.
Of Hardeman county, was appointed
temporary chairman, and M. d L.
Stewart temporary secretary. The cleo.
ton Of permanent chairman and sec,
rotary resulted in the choice of Colonel
Jos. r. Mosby, Of Fayette, and Walker
Wood, Esq, Of Upton. .
A committee on credentials was APP
pointed, who reported the list of dele
gates as heretofore published, except as
regards i, MIJames from the Sixth
ward, whose placeis to be filled by Jas.
A. Anderson, and NJ. Burke from the
Eighth ward, whose place will be filled
by Z. Woodbridge.
On motion the report Of the commit
tee was received, and the committee
discharged.
Judge Anderson said that the Shelby
county delegation had been appointed
with reference to the voters rather than
population, and was unfair He offered
a resolution to the effect that no delcga1
ton should cast solid vote for any can
didate, unless that candidate has re-
ceived two-thirds majority of the vote
Of the county, 7 tiga JI q
Captain Sam P. Rose offered resolu-
ton in lieu that committee of three be
appointed from each county to fix the
basis of representation in the Conven-
tor, the committee to report as soon
as practicable. Judge Anderson with
drew his motion for the time.
The chairman then appointed the COM
mittee, after which the Conventions took
recess 10 e. ~ - g
Previous to the meeting of the con-
vention, the Shelby county delegation
held caucus and elected Capt. Ed.

to cast their vote solid for Captain Lacey

There was but a moderate degree OF
activity in financial circles to-day, the
convention and the probable nomina-
tons absorbing greater portion Of the
attention of Madison street than money
matters. Discounts are made as usual
at l0@l2 p cent. q annum-by the
banks, and sufficient paper is offered to
employ the surplus funds of those instr
tutions Discounts are, however, made
to none except customers, and upon
strictly prime paper. Exchange is ex-
ceedingly scarce and the demand active,
with transactien of $4,000 between

are steady at par buying and fc pre-

SOMETHING FOR DoGs.-An Indiana
town has the following dog ordinance;
Dogs that are not collared and labeled,
no matter how respectfully connected,
will have their narrative amputated one
inch south of their ears That would
work well in Memphis, no doubt, and we
suggest 10 the City Fathers who meet IN
Council this afternoon the consideration
Of this scheme. The effect would doubt
less be to stop the wholesale slaughter
of CANNES now going on by mysterious
