WHO CAN IT BE- The Memphis Ledger
says:
"A telegraphie operator Of this city will
soon follow a bridal trosseau 10 the county
| seat OF Madison county, where a wedding
will be celebrated in Few days.
Now tho young lady implicated IN this
affair had better come right straight and
tell us all about it. Tue idea Of perpetrating
natrimony here under our eyes, without
! giving US due warning, is simply outrage
Gus. We wont stand il, and # that "bridal
trosseau"-Te mean The lady-don't iRform

| A GRAND uOTEL-Alter so long time,
we are happy 10 announce that q Hotel
Company has been formed, the ground pur-
chased, and the work Of constructing a
Grand Hotsi will commence in a few days.
The vacant ground West of the Square, be-
tween Newton's Drug Store and the Alley,

four stories high and will contain about
100 rooms. His Honor, Mayor King. one
OF our most enterprising citizens, is at the
head OF the enterprise. We will have more
to say about this much needed improve
ment next week.
AN ELEGANT STocK,-There is not a
more complete or elegant stock Of goods in
the City than that OF McNuIty & Meet
trick. Their goods were all purchased in
New York for Cash. and hence they are
prepared TO offer unusual Inducements 10
purchasers. Every department in their
elegant establishments Is full-ssaple and
dress goods, Ladies' Hats, Bonnets and
Trimmings, Notions, Clothing, Boots,
Shoes and Hats in endless variety, and Sc
lected with approved taste, line the shelves
and are heaped upon the tables. Then there
are no better merchants or more thorough
gentlemen than the two Mos. Let none
fail TO call and see their stock.
AN EXCITING BATTLE--A couple Of ri
val swine, one country and the other a
city beau Joined battle on shannon street
Monday. A large crowd Of fascinated gen
tlsmen assembled promptly to witness the
combat, and many a wager was laid on the |
result. Several female swine with the nat |
ural curiosity Of their sex, als0 witnessed
the struggle and with absorbing interest, !
ready no doubt-femRle like--to applaud !
and honor the victor. The contest was
long and doubtful, the crowd of gentlemen |
and swine increased, and the interest grew /
painful in its intensity. Finally the coun-
try swine uncurled his liberal tail, dropped |
his bristling hair, threw open his mouth /
and fed, taking the nearest route 70 the
grateful shades aud quiet pastures Of his
rural home. The gentlemen were some
hours discussing the leading features Of the
battle, while the victorious hero was es-
corted down the street TO vocal music OF
swinish composition, by an admiring crowd
of city porkers.
JACKSON PANroMIsdE TRouPE.-So great
was the admiration manifested IN this City
for the Martinetd Pantomime Troupe, that
a lot Of our talented and enterprising gen.
tlemen have organized a company styled
the jackson Pantomime Troupe and
will soon inaugurate a series of unrivaled
in Tomlin's Hall. The gem
tlemen who have been assigned the leading
parts, are we'll known for gestieular graces
and for seldom talking with their mouths.
They are three IN number, and those curl
Gus to learn their names before the bills are
posted, can do so by calling on Mr.. 10.
Caruthers, who has kindly consented to act
as General Agent of the Company. The
Corps de Ballet will be led by the four
foot Giant, assisted by the Mayor, Recorder, /
Aldermen and the entire Police force,
dressed la mode, and will absolutely /
"take the rag of the bush'' in the high-fling /
portions of that lavlshins dance. The /
City Officials are now in training, by /
Plank Walk, daily. It is thought that the
practice incident to this sidewalk exercise,
and the high gymnastic agility necessary to
preserve their neeks while going through
1t, viii thoroughly accomplish them for the |
Ballet in very few days, and then the
sidewalks viii be arranged for ordinary
pedestrian purposes in time to enable the
citizens TO attend the grand exhibition. 1t
is to be hoped that our citizens will, under
the circumstances, be patient about the
present dilapidated condition of the side
walks, and not mind a few sprained ankles,
or bI oxen legs or neeks; nor will they, if
they Will just think Of the noble purpose
the sidewalks are now serving, and Of the
gorgeous exhibition soon TO dazzle their
rural visions. " hen we suffer our imagi-
nation to dwell upon those leading panto-
mimists mentioned above, and upon that
ravishing "COrpS de Ballet" we glide i'm
medlately into u comfortable trance, undis-
turbed by stubbed toes, strained ankles or
dislOcated neeks, but glowing with comic
situations, talking gestures and winks,
startling denouencnts, striking attitudes,
graceful forms and speaking notions
Hence we are reeonciled to the gymnastic
sidewalks, and so should every good and
appreciative citizen.
