Yesterday morning well-known
Memphian, standing in front of the Pea
body, employed bootblack to shine up
hi; boots so that he might attend church
While the boy WAS shining one boot a
crowd Of Eags who came up offered the
blscky quarter to quit the job. He
did SO; and the halfpollshed Memphian
raised the blind to half a dollar and the
boy went to work again. The crowd saw
the half and went fifty cents better, when
the work again stopped. With one boot
polished, the unfortunate called another
boy and gave him fifty cents to assume
the contract; but when the blacking was
half on, the spokesman Of the ether
party broke up the work by the tender Of
another fifty cents. The now deviled
and plagued citizen offered dollar to
any niger who would give the boots a
anishing touch, but the appearance Of a
two dollar bill from the other side caused
the strike to continue. The unpublished
man fed through the Peabody, in order
to escape the laughter and shafts of wit
and ridicule which crowded upon him

made upon Spain without absolute dis

BOW Rortunes Are Made.

Most of the wealthy men of this coun-
try have made large fortunes from very
small beginnings. Vanderbilt, A. T.
Stewart, Daniel Drew, Aston and Ste
phen Girard, we're all very poor men in
early life, and only by gradual aceumu-
Isqon Of hard earned dollars we're they
enabled to embark in enterprises which
made them millionaires Such men as
Jay Cooke, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk had
patrons to assist them on the first rounds
of fortunes ladder, to the top of which
they rapidly climbed by the aid of
shrewdness and apdssity. There are
yet other men, who, without means of
their own, or the power Of friends or
patrons, have acquired rapid fortunes.
Among the latter is John Dart, Of Mem
phis, who drew the first prize in the first
Graad Gift Concert of the Public Liz
brary; the club at Columbus. Ind, who
drew the frat prize at the Second Con-
cert, and Mr. Keith, Of Kingston, Mass,
who drew the 100000 prize in the last
concert on the 9th Of July. For the
naSt concert there are twelve thousand
cash prizes, aaa smong them are those
of S25O,OOO 100000. $5OOOO ana $2s,-
900. Nov, the lucky men who are to
drsE these gspd prizes may be poor as
Jobs turkey today, yet within the next
three weeks they will realize how for
tunes are made, and that, too, without
capital or the assistance of patrons.

TIE MAYoRALTY.

A call has appeared in circular form
aid in the morning papers for mass
meeting of citizens to be held at the
Greenlaw Opera House this evening for
the purpose of taking action in view oil
the approaching municipal election
The object implied is to nominate can
didates for Mayor and the other oiiiees
70 Gil by election on the LIST day OF Jan
nary As no strict political issues have
been made in municipal elections since
Hon. John Leftwich's election six years
ago we presume it is not intended to
raise any such at this late day.
since honesty, capacity and availability
are the prime qualities required now
in casting about for chief magistrate
OF the city. Mr.. johnson, it is true, was
nominated four years ago, at Demo
cratic Convention, but not on the
grounds Of his partisanshlp or pro-
nounced political afHnities. de was
selected as representative of the BUSH
ness and working classes, and twice
aleoted as such. The call for the meet
ing. we observe, is signed by citizens
who represent various shades of political
sentiment, the most of them private,
hard working citizens, Of the substantial
but not afluent class, capable, we would
say. of welding strong influence IN
bebalf of the ticket they may bring out.
The meeting will doubtless be largely
attended and we hope that moderation
and wise counsels will prevail. 1t will
ne something of new departure aud
without precedent as far as we can re-
member in our local affairs, though a
similar call for a meeting never held
was made two years ago. The impor-
tauce of electing proper man Tor
Mayor, a man OF unquestioned nerve
and integrity, financial skill and execu-
tive ability, is fnlly realized by the peo'
ple. The Mayors office is no sinecure'
and within its portals the nextlncumbent
will find no soft seats or sofas cushioned
with roses upon which to reciine. The
duties will be numerous, perplexing and
imperative. More will be demanded of
the next Mayor than ever before in our
municipal history. The emergencies
into which we have fallen require that
the people and the press unite IN Sc
lectiag the very best talent, experience
and administrative sagacity that can be
co,amanded. We hope that every one
will rise superior to patisanship, prgu-
dice or Friendship, and assist in eiectlng
some one CALCULATED to bring the city
safely out of her present financial and
sanitary difficulties. The elections only
FIVE weeks off from next Thursday, but
in that time the people can duly consider
their interests, and have ample leisure
to determine between the ticket or tick
cts which may be presented. The
LEDGER has no nomination to make, and
will not act hastily; the people are ON
nipotent in this matter, and we are only
their exponent when their will is
made known in a regular manner. We
would suggest the importance of an
open, fair expression at this meeting,
and unprecedented action. II it should
appear to be held or manipulated in
favor of any particular person or inter
est, the great object in view will lose
ground and be made secondary to a
mere personal contest.
