ARRESTED AS SUSPICIOUS CHAR
ACIERS.

Two strange, well dressed young men,
claiming to be brothers and giving their
names as Lewis and Chapman Jones, were
arrested near Tullahoma last Friday by
Sheriff Norman and brought TO this place
for trial, the charges against them being that
Of suspicion. When arrested they had nei-
Their money, pistols, letters nor anything
whatever about their persons that would,
In the least, lead to their Identification.
They claimed TO have been citizens of
Greensboro, North Carolina, up TO three
years since, but evidently knew but one
man of any prominence in the place. They
say that they have resided in Texas for the
past three years, and are artists by occups-
ton. They claimed to have sold their
instruments for Texas ponies, and
swapped the uonies for two fine mules near
Vicksburg, Miss. They were riding the
mules when arrested. SAID that they had
lost all their money, but did not state bow.
They claimed 10 have been on their way
back to North Carolina when overtsken by
Sheriff Norman. They were tried before
j. w. Martin, Ssml. Bobo and A. j. Simp-
son. Attorneys for prosecution, Aba Friz-
xell and w. d. L. Record; for the defense,
(. S. n. Bobo. There being no specific
charges against them they were bound over
to keep the peace, in the sum Of two hun
dred and fifty dollars. By sacrificing both
their mules they were enabled to make
the bond and lay the cOss Of the suit.
They took the railroad Wednesday morning
for-we don't know where. These are the
facts ss we have gathered them.-Lynch-

LocnInr LournnIiam.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette tells a very amusing anecdote
about former city editor of the En-.
quirer, named Bennett, which illustrates
phase of journalistic enterprise never
known in New England, but which was
common enough at the West when Arte.
mus Ward was local" on Cleveland
newspaper, and Mark Twain a gatherer
of river news on the Ohio. When news
was scarce Bennett was in the habit Of
inventing extraordinary navy items for
his department, a favorite resource being
to make children fall from the landing of
the Newport ferry boat into the river,
and to have them rescued by his ac-
quaintances. He had honored one Mr..
Kellum Celia Burleigh's first husband)
several times in this way, when the licti.
tious saver of drowning innocents be-
came tired of the joke, and at last called
at the Enquirer Office and demanded that
it should not be repeated. He was as
sured that his request would be complied
with and so i. was in its letter, but hard.
ly in its spirit, for the next day the En-
quirer contained a paragraph to the
effect that beautiful little girl, the
daughter of prominent citizen Of New
port, had fallen from the ferry boat into
the river, and that Mr.. Kellum, who was
standing by and could easily have saved
the child from watery grave, refused
to render the least assistance. When
Kellum, boiling with rage, went to the
Enquirer to seek an explanation of what
he had begun to regard in the light of a
persecution, his threats of vengeance
we're suddenly stopped by Benefits TAX
ipg of his coat and cody saying; you

A CIreuIar from the comptroIIer.


CoNPrRoLLER's OfFIcE,
NASHVILLE. November o, lai5.J
To the Tax-Collectors and Chairmen Of the
County Courts Of this State;
In answer to inquiries from different
parts of the State, issue this circular:
1. II is the duty Of each tax collector
to indorse upon his tax books the date
of the payment Of each tax therein, "
whether that payment be made to-day or
a year hence.
2. It is the duty Of each tax collector
TO make to the Judge or Chairman Of the
County Court monthly statement show
ing the aggregate taxes which have been
paid during the month, and an abstract
Of the report shall be furnished to the
Comptroller by the County Court Clerk.
/ would suggest that each tax collector
make his first statement up 10 the first
day of the month next after he receives
his tax books, though full month has
not elapsed; then afterward up to the
first day of each succeeding month This
will give system to the reports Of the tax
collectors Of the State.
3. The sum Of ten per cent. upon the
amount collected during the month by
any tax collector will be imposed upon
him for eact month he fails or refuses to
pay over the money collected by him.
4. As the poll tax is levied exclu-
sively for school purposes, it must be
returned so that it can be credited on
the books of this Office to the school
fand separate and apart from the gem
eral State tax. II the tax collector
makes his payments TO a State deposl-
tory, his receipts should state distinctly
what has been paid on poll and what On
State tax.
5. With the ten per cent. tax on
property for school purposes, the Comp
troller has nothing to do. No report Of
it should be made to him. 1t is paid to
and distributed by the County Trustee.

way on was a palace for her repose, with
a second palace to entertain her at the
Pyramids especially made for this
one journey. And yet, such is the kim
ship Of the times, that when the khediye
attempted TO renovate Cairo by taking
stones from the Pyramids, he felt that
the rebuke of the press and voice of
Europe could not be withstood, and he
ceased 10 disturb these useless conun-
drums. He is building an iron bridge
across the Nile, English work, which
will cost $4,000, 900, and is only par
tial success, as il fills up as soon as neg
lected, and the screw feet TO
pass Through il is yet small.
Lesseps, its executor, Mr.. Butler
believes to be one of the ablest men in
the world, and never with less than from
half million to a million Of money
lying up on deposit. The Viceroy is the
owner Of narrow-gauge railroad from
Cairo 10 Suez, seventy.six miles, and
from Alexandria TO Cairo, one hundred
and thirty miles. he is now building up
the Nile from Cairo two or three hundred
miles. He has a navy, but his people
are wretched sailors. He and his father
have made vast sums of money in the
slave trade, and his eunuchs for the
harem come from the Blue Nile. Sugar,
indigo, tobacco and cotton are great
staples of Egypt, and the people have no
conception Of the right of property, lib
erty or life.
How many piastres do you pay the
Khedive2" is the remark often addressed
to a donkey conductor or mule driver.

EXPOSITION.
TO THE PUBLIC.

The Board of Directors have decided to open
their Second Grand Exposition on the 18th OF
November to the 10th of December, inclusive.
in response to the general wish Of the c0mmu-
nifty. and as an earnest token Of returning
prosperity and confidence. A liberal expend-
iture of money and industry had already pre-
pared us to open promptly on the lst of Octo-
Der last, but the cause which forced us to
postpone has not only departed, but leaves a
recuperative spirit among our people, who
desire to assure our sister cities that energy
can conquer misfortune.
A large Power Hall, with boiler, engine,
shafting and pullies, has been erected, and a
magnificent Floral Temple, well covered with
glass roof, and arranged SO as to supply all
the artificial heat that may be necessary. is
now ready to receive plants and flowers; aud
although the season is late and opportunity
unfayorable, yet that department is in the
hands of expert and competent gentlemen,
who will make a magnificent display. win

pleasing spectacle than a summer one, and
we have every assurance that the entertain
ment will be unsurpassed.

The whole building has been overhauled,
repainted newly decorated and well ap-
pointed, with every convenience to please and
entertain the visitors. With a vieW to the
season, arrangements will be perfected to keep
the temperature pleasant and comfortable day
and night A mimic stage with appropriate
scenery has been erected, which will add to
its charms during the season. Interesting and
entertaining tableaux, panoramas, concerts
and other novelties will be produced every
night.
The Fine Art Gallery will be newly fitted up
and attract large share of attention.
In the interest of our city and country we
appeal to the liberality of our friends and the
citizens of Memphis especially, for their gen
erous patronage and hearty cooperation.
Goods will be received at any time and ar
ranged for display.
Arrangements have been made for reduced
fare and freight on all railroads, steamboats,
and express lines. n. NJ. JONES, Pres't.

me- eultivation Of Egyptian corn hI

The cultivation of Egyptian corn has
been tr,e5 With marked success in Cali
fornia. The San Ffsnciaeo Chronicle
saws: 1.-THE manner OF planting It is
similar to that employed with broom
corn, which the stock somewhat resem-
bles, while the bead in shape is more
like that of the sorghum bT Asiaile
suEar-cane. Instead of growing straight
up, as that does, the Egyptian corn
always crooks at the ne ne ana turns
a0gS when maturing The grains in
shape and size bear some resemblance
to broom corn seed, but on crushing a
grain it is found to be more Of the
nature of Indian corn than anything
else. The seeds from which this corn is
grown we're taken from the vrappings Of
Egyptian mummies, and that they grew
after being thus laid away for two thou
sand years, shows that this variety Of
cereal possesses wonderful power Of re-
production. 1t has been suggested that
it might be found to advantageously re-
place barley for the use Of maltsters and
brewers. Doubtless the experiment will
soon be made

Washington Correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune
The late Consul General of the United
States at CaiEc, George Butler, is in
Washington, and i h}ys derived some
fresh and interesting inforHSlfn from
b{n. Said Pascha is described by kF.
Butler as d person of culture, speaking
French with ease, and English a little;
fully educated at the Polythemic school
in Paris, and wearing the drssS Of Chris
tian people. He is a shrewd ana RICH
merchant, and not q soldier by propen-
Sity; and his income and the luxury OF
his court exceed the tales of Garoun al
Raschid's splendor. He has an income
Of f$ll0, 900, 900 pea snnpm or more than
half as much as the whole annual eX'

inclusive Of the cost Of the public debt
To keen our 10000 or 10000 office
holders, our army, our navy, do the pub
lie building, etc., etc, requires Slf O0O,-
600 a month. And Said Pashs, VINO
has no more subjects than there are GU
zeng of New York State, has, by MI
Buffers careful estimate, between nine
and ten million dollars a month, or above
three hundred thousand dollars a day.
He has twenty.seyen palaces, all the cor
porate property-or that which with US
would be controlled by corporatons-in
the country and no laws whatever but
chat he can think or viii from day to
daY. He has four wives and vast
harem, aa5, being an unwise husband
does not know MS own children; yet he
is temperate aud prudent, and still he is
aot happy. He wants to be klngi but
the Semination Of Turkey sits upon k;s
dreams like the gobbler on the full boy

above him by Europe4p treaty which
datea back to 1910, and from tlc treaties
Of Europe
Whatever link you strike,
Tenth or tenth thopsend, breaks the ehain

To neutralize Turkey, tbe Ebediye
has been for long time conciliating
Europe, and the power he sets most

and the greatest astUtsaess, being really
Foreign Ministers without the pr-'e as

says ne could bsFe had absolute po9er
under this Eicerey over the life OF any
American in Egypt He vas on such
intimate terms with the KhediYs that
some Of the complainers wrote to Mr..
Fish that be was in that rich barbarian's 9
pay. But all, says Butler " that he
ever did for ne was to give me Steamers,
yachts, a troop Of horse, etc, when
wanted to entertain my visiting friends.

A Bosten letter says: "The establish
ment OF woman's community within
the limits of the town of Woburn, about
twelve miles from Boston, was begun
Yesterday by the formal raising Of the
frame of the first building. In this
community all the land is to be owned by
women, and so far as the management of
the affairs of the village is concerned,
women suffrage is to be realized to the
extent Of the utter disqualification of
the sterner sex. The members of the
community are obliged to assent to a
constitution which is to govern 1T, but
further than this they are unrestrained; ;
except, however. shat they are expected
to attend at least once week upon

occupation of the residents in Aurora

schools are provided to fit persons
for the different kinds Of work to
be done, including a domestic school

of these. and that which has been pushed
nearer TO realization than any other
connected with the enterprise, is the es-
