March.-The first month of Spring has
b. ought nothing of Spring with it, but
Wi, 7ter cold and severe with ice and snow
reisns' supreme. The thermometer has
even l. cen down to zero since the month
came in. In March the farmers generally
expect to finish up the larger part Or their
Spring blowing. and to insure good crop
of oats it must be got into the ground in
this month. But the prospect is very I'M
favorable for field work on the farm this
month, and the reign of ice and snow bids
fair to extend to fitful, changeful April.

The Amnteur Horae. Raee man.

The average Memphian who has a
weakness for horse races can be seen on
the Chickasaw Jockey Club course daily.
He always patronizes the pools, and in
variably takes the field against the favor
tie. Occasionally he becomes nervous
over his risk and hedges" by purchas-
ing the second choice. He patronizes
the "bars with well-defned regularity
and takes his whisky in straight heats.
He is bound to see the jockeys weighed;
and at the signal to saddle and mount"
he rushes to the grand stand and takes
position well in front, near the timers
or reporters stands. When the horses
are "ofr," our friend stands on tip'toe
and gives utterAnce to EXPLANATIONS of
approval or disgust as he sees his horse
advance or fall back. AS the animals
pass under the string he gives vent to his
pent-up feelings by yell that could be
heard half mile away. He is especially
particular to take note Of the time
made in each heat. When the race is
over he purchases another pool, re-visits
the bars and pulls away vigorously at a
cigar. Heis altogether strange animal,
and generally loses all bets and pools
but still is satisfied so long as he has
dollar.

A STRANGE AFFAIR.
s.G ps:.;:s J. p nv As::sss'


The Ticket Agent 81 lawrence nas.
win q PoFIion 81 che Proceeds.
When Mr.. Lawrence Barrett made an
engagement with Manager DAvey Of the
Grand Opera House, 10 appear for two
nights in this city. il was resolved not
TO sell reserved seats at the box'ofiice OF
the Opera House. the dramatic season
being over. and to employ a special
agent to dispose Of reserved seats but
at what place to sell tickets was the
question. 1t was well known that the
reserved seats for the StrAkosch, Nillson,
Patti and Theodore Thomas concerts
we're sold at the masic store Of y. A.
Benson, on Main street, and the adyan-
tages Of this place were fully Recognized
by Manager Davey. Mr.. 4. A. Benson'
is the proprietor. and George BensonI
was his salesman. but a week ago he had
severed his connection as salesman OF
the establishment Manager Davey em.-
ployed George Benson at per centage
on sales to dispose Of the tickets. When
Il. A. Benson found it out he informed
George that he did not want the tickets
sold in the house, as he did not wish to
be bothered with them, it being Of no
advantage or interest to him, and would
only be trouble. George Benson
stated that he was employed TO sell the
tickets, and he wished to make the per
centage, but If Il. A. Benson would not
let him sell tickets he would go to some
other house, and all he wanted was desk
room. Mr. Il. A. Benson did not know
the tickets were in the house until the
Dist of April, when the sign was pu t.up,
Lawrence Barrett's ticket Office, in1
the presence Of Mr.. Barrett and Mana
ger Davey. Il. A. Benson did not sell
single ticket, and refused at least one
hundred persons, saying; II do not
know anything about them tits Georges
affair back at the desk" George Ben
son, when E. A. Benson protested
against the tickets being sold in his
house, said, 81 do not want you to touch
the tickets in the box; it is my affair,
and Davey gives me ten per cent. on all
l sell; you have nothing to do with it; l
receipted for the tickets in my, own
name" Yesterday morning, when Geo.
Benson failed to put in an appearance
at the ticket office, L. A. Benson said to
Mr.. Dayey, "You go at once aud get a
detective and hunt George up; know
nothing about him." Manager Davey
answered, II have all confidence in
George, and do not like to do that
just now; l will wait and see
about it, as it may be mistake, and
do not want to hurt Georges feelings by
putting detective after him" Toward
evening, however, detective Cranmer
was put on the track, and that energetic
officer soon discovered that George had
left the city for parts unknown. The
amount of tickets sold and unaccountes
for is about $3.50, and as yet no trace of
George Benson has been discovered.
Our sensational reporter took the trouble
to hunt the facts up with reference to
the case, and the above are reliable,
showing that George Benson'was the in
dependent agent Of Barrett and Man
ager Davey, and that Mr.. E. A. Benson
had nothing to do with the affair, and
was directly opposed to having the tick
eta sold in his house,
