suicida this Morning.

At seven o'clock this morning a
painter named Jackson, residing at No.
81 Second street, committed suicide by
taking an overdose of laudauum. JUS
tice Hall held the inquest to-day, and
the coroner's jury returned a verdict of
death by suicide. The statements as to
the cause of committing the rash act
differ materially. One is that depres-
sion of spirits, owing to pecuniary en-
barrassment, was the provocation; an
other tale is that, fearing he had the
cholera, he took the laudanum, prefer
ring to die from the effects of that drug
rather than the prevailing disease. Be
that as it may, jackson is dead.

The public Library Drawing.

The Public Library Gift Concert
(third) will take place July 9Th as surely
as the day arrives. Not only have
enough tickets been sold to insure full
drawing, but it is now an almost abso-
Lutte certainty that there will not be a
single ticket left unsold days before the
drawing takes place. Five hundred
thousand dollars in cash, without any
discount whatever, will be distributed at
this concert, all the money for that pur-
pose being already in the Farmers and
Drovers' Bank. Those who wish to Sc
cure tickets will find it will not be well
to delay their orders.

Advice 60 Girls.

A writer in the Ashtabula 20. } Senti-
mel addresses the following advice 10
girls who may be engaged or likely
10 be:
Don't do anything that you will look
back on from the maturer age Of thirty
and wish You hadn't. Don't do any
thing, no matter how long you have been
engaged to n man, that when you are
married you will regret Your husband
will respect you all the more il you have
always been true to yourself during his
courtship. Time enough for the kisses
and the slowing clasps will come after
marriage, and be enjoyed all the more
for true purity Of thought and deed.
And if the engagement should happen
TO get broken it will save many annoy
ing thoughts, If not words, to know that
it is impossible for some man whom you
care nothing for then to boast Of famil-
iarities from you. These young men
who are willing to draw out these
little, caressiDg, familiar acts that in
themselves contain nothing impure, must
possess impure minds, and imagined
license from the innocent, thoughtless
expression of pleasure, Will, sooner or
or later, with some one venture more,
you may depend. Your careless words
and actions may inaame his passions,
and presently some one falls; and can
you say but that it is partly your fault2
No doubt it is very pleasant to be sup
ported in your evening walk, or ride, by
the arm of your dear Augustus, or to lean
your head to rest upon his convenient
shoulder, holding his hand, and to give
him parting kiss, but as sure as you
live to be ten years older, you will be
sorry that you did it. Then consider
one thing more. In the strength of your
virtue, did you ever think that some
weaker sister may see or know Of the act,
and thinking if you do so it cannot be
improper The consequence is that
some one takes advantage of her weak
ness and she is lost. Oh, girls we must
blame ourselves for some OF this dreadful
evil. Do be thoughtful, and avoid any
action seIfrespect calls doubtful.

Address by the Celebrated Rabbi,
DIR. LiIIienthaI.

The long talked Of ceremony Of lay
ing the corner stone OF tho Masonic Tenn
pie at the intersection of Second and
Madison streets, has been appointed to
take place on st. Johns Day, the 9th
instant. The various Masonic bodies Of
the city will be present in full force. The
other leading benevolent associations Of
Memphis, we understand, have accepted
invitations to attend and participate in
the imposing ceremonies. A large num-
Der of visitors from the surrounding
country, and distinguished guests from
a distance are expected. The Grafton
of the day will be pronounced by DIR. Lii
lienthal, of Cincinnati, the distinguished
and eloquent Hebrew Rabbi, whose
fame is wider than the continent, and
whose voice and pen are power in the
land for truth, justice and human pro-
gress. The programme of the day has
not been announced, but will be in due
time, and will, when carried out, inspire
the members of noble and benevolent
order with higher sense of duty in the
wide field Of usefulness which it has
occupied in the world from the remotest
ages of Jewish power and grandeur Of
thought and action. 1t will be day
long remembered in Memphis, and will
mark an era in our moral and material
progress that will stand out clear and
bright in our history long after the par
Elephants have passed away.

Old Time Duel.

A California paper reprints the story
of the duel, thirty years ago, between
John Hampden Peasants, editor Of the
Richmond Wing, and Thomas Richie jr,
editor of the Richmond Enquirer. The
challenge from Peasants TO Richie was
one of the most extraordinary ever sent:
az will be on the Manchester side of the
James river, near the factory, between
the river and canal, tomorrow morning
at five o'clock, armed with rifle, pistol
and sword. We will advance and hre on
each other till one or the other falls.
This was the substance Of Mr.. Peasants
challenge. Mr.. Richie objected to it
for various reasons, among which were:
" Because it gives the challenging party
the choice of time, place and weapons, a
right invariably accorded by the code
to the challenged; because its terms are
savage, sanguinary and revolving to the
tastes of civilized society. Notwithstand-
ing these objections, | will be at the
place at the time named, armed in the
manner described, and will defend my
self from any attack made on me. -"
When the duel came of, Peasants was
MORALLY wounded, but returned Richie s
fire and continued to advance on him,
and when within striking distance, drew
his sword giving Richie severe cut on
the LIP, which was all the wound the
latter received. Peasants fingered only
a few days, and Richie ended his life by
remorseful dissipation.
