WHAT A FALL.-On Wednesday dis
tlnguished lawyer from Trenton. fell over
an ice wagon in Central alley, or "Maiden's
lane" and came very near bursting him
self open. He was returning 90 the court
house from a visit to ''King's Art Palace"
A PRovIDENT HEN.-A venerable and
proyident hen calls regularly every day
and makes a deposit In the Bank Of Madi-
son. She comes in quietly, transaets her
business and retires without vain glory.
White Invariably places her deposits where
they will do the most good.
WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UF.-On
Wednesday AS we were going 10 dinner, we
observed a lot Of buggies and horses hitch
eel up around residence on north Cum
berland Street. and whole lot OF young
folks standing and sitting in the porch and
parlor. We marveled as to what il meant,
but directly we caught glimpse Of fur
young face-in which bushes came and
went-and Of young man who looked as
confident as n dozen Cesars, and then we
knew that the whsle thing had reference TO
wedding-which was a fact ms will be
observed by reference to another column.
A DISTINGUISHED VIsIToR.-Col. Hiram |
Maycurrie, col formerIysa residentof this
city, Is on visit 10 his old home and |
friends. The Col. has amassed large es-
tate in the suburbs OF Memphis, where he |
Is now planting on anextensive scale, since |
he LEFT jackson. He is burdened with |
''stamps" and would be delighted to accom-
modate any Of his old friends with loan |
of a few hundreds, or even thousands while |
here. Time, security and per cent are all |
matters Of indifference TO the Col. His |
stay among us will be governed by inclina-
tionsand not stamps. Long may he wave.
PEABODY HoTEL.-Without doubt the
Peabody is the first Hotel in Memphis, and
under its present management is more than
holding Its own. Even during this re-
dull season we found constant
flow Of guests, and nearly every room had
its occupant during late visit. The Ele-
vator recently introduced constitutes new
feature in this attractive House, and re-
lieves ladies and gentlemen of that most
laborious toll incident to ascending long
flights of stairs. We advise our friends to
stop at the Peabody.
HARD SEASON on EDIToRs.-This is
remarkably hard season on Editors. Why,
here isn't but one good sultof clothes IN
This Office, and our Senior Iuxuriates in
hat. Merchants seem to have utterly for
gotten how to approach Editors sin the
right way" Now, here's our Middle man,
Dur Junior and ye Local, all with coats en-
tirely too short, considering the condition |
Of our respective unmentiOnables. Every |
windy day for three long weeks we have
promenaded up and down in
front of our leading Dry Goods and Cloth
ing houses and yet DO kind voice has said,
"Come in, Bob, you need new SUIT" We
have a good hat and good pair of boots,
but wen be hanged if the intermediate ter
ritory amt in sad need of Rehabilitation, and
got to do it either free gratis or
on credit. blast the difference TO us which.
To this our Aliddle-man requests us TO say
for him, most emphatically, ditto.
commemorative have heard no little
against the Sheriff and his City
Deputy for grazing their horses IN Court
Square. These Officers have no more right
TO do this than any other citizen of the
County, and yet we would not object but
for the danger 10 the young trees in the
Square, just now beginning to grow of |
handsomely. Some of these beautiful |
young trees have already been barked by |
the horses of these officers, and Of course |
all the others are in danger of a similar fate. |
What one horse does in that way another is
likely to do. and what horse does once he
win do again when opportunity offers. 1t
would be pity, yea, shame for any more
trees to be thus destroyed, and we feel sure
that the officials referred to will not con-
tinue a practice that keeps them In con-
tinual peril.
A SHARPER CAUGHF.-On Monday a
man giving his name as Sam. Carroll, was |
arrested IN this city, by order of Chief Nc
Cabe, on telegram from Bolivar, and lodg-
ed in the calaboose. 1t seems that Carroll |
had hired a buggy and horse from Livery
man Of Corinth, Miss, by the name of ].
W. Burgess, to be returned in two or three i
days, but kept them week and then aban-
doned them at Bolivar, and took the train. |
He was engaged in selling county rights |
for nsn-explosive coal oil, which he did |
without authority, and in fact frequently |
selling the same territory to three or four |
different parties. He was carried to Cor |
NTH on Wednesday, where all these facts 4
were proved, and he was bound over 10 the /
September term of Circuit Court.
PICNIc.-Miss Ncttie Walsh gave nice |
picnic in the yard of the old home place, in |
this city, on last Friday, the 10th inst, to |
which ali the little boys and girls of her
neighborhood were invited. We put in an
appearance on the joyous occasion, just to
feel young again, and it did our heart good
to see the pretty children in their gay holt
day dresses, as they played, sang, laughed
and chatted, out under the bending sky, on
the sweet spring grass, with lovely open
