There! the die is cast. That is the

conversation about servants, a subject
which is very popular there. Yes, in
deed, if you men imagine that eligion

excessively mistaken. Nor is one word
of medical science, properly so called,

drawing-room-the old ones-and at
once make for the ottoman, which af-
fords ample room for their magnificent
proportions and skirts, and at once be-
gin to compare notes together about
their domestics; while the young ones
(about whom | may have to speak al
another time) make little coteries OF
their own, consisting generally of but
two each, their object being to inter.
change "confdences," some genuine
most of them fictitious. One or two

perience goes, at least one of this class
one or two approach the table to ex-
anime the books, or any scientific in,
struments, such as the microscope

these intelligent personages are un-

with which they are greeted by their
young friends, should they be so un-
wise as to make advances to them.-

THE TUNNEL.

Within the next two months the
railroad system of the North will b.
united to that of the South by the com
pletion of the connecting link, the Bal
timore and Potomac tunnel. This gi
gantic enterprise has been conducted
so quietly, and withal SO swiftly, tina
there are many persons living in sec
tions of the city not very remote from
the line of operations who would no
have known that the work had begun
if it had not been for the newspapers
Three years ago we announced in TIL
american that the Baltimore and Pc
tomac Railroad was going to make con
nection with the Northern Central BY
running ua,der the city, and indicated
the route which would be followed
Our contemporaries were facetiously in
credulous, and not many Of our rea
ders were prepared to believe that such
project could be successfully carried
out. One year afterwards their incred
ulity was somewhat shaken by seeing
long procession of carts turn into
Charles street avenue, and a corps o1
sturdy laborers beginning to make ar
excavation near the intersection of Ca
thedral street and North avenue
Twenty-three months ago ground was
broken, and now the tunnel, over one
mile in length, passing under the
streets of the city, is within a few
weeks of completion.
No city in America can. boast an un-
derground railway that will compare
with the Baltimore and Potomac tun-
mel. Taking the Northern Central
Railway as base line, double tracks
diverge from it, the first at Boundary
avenue and the other a few hundred
yards further north. They each enter
a tunnel and are lost sight of until
they emerge into daylight at John
street, where they unite and take the
main tunnel, following Boundary ave,
nue. to Wilson street, and then turning
into that street, or rather unader it
thirty-five feet from the surface, they
keep a straight course with the line Of
street until the open cut is reached
near Fulton avenue. Through trains
southwark bound will take what might
be called the northern fork of the tun.
mel, and the passengers will see but
little of the city of Baltimore. Trains
which leave the Calvert Station, and
also those that come from the Phila,
delphia and Wilmington Railroad by
the Union Road, will take the other
fork. Ofcourse northern bound trains
will take the fork branching to the
north at the John street cut, and the
trains for Baltimore and Philadelphia
will take the southern fork. The con.
nection with the Philadelphia and
Wilmington Road will be made by the
Union Railroad and tunnel, which
commences at Belvidere bridge, and
continues on through the eastern sec.
tion of the city to lower Canton and
tidewater. s,

THE SALARY STEAL.

Uncle Sam had a roost for his hens,
Where they roasted by thousand and ten.
The motion to rob it was Ben's.
"Hired men of my uncle, l feel,"
Said Ben, in solemn appeal,
Glow wages do tempt US to steal"
The force of this moral idee
Was so mighty and powerful, you see,
Not to do it they couldn't agree.
So the hearties they gave Ben boost,
And his fingers they suddenly noosed r-
Two pulletS per man from the roost.
Uucle Sam is now watching the spot,
To discover a man who will not
Go home with foul in his pot.

GUESTS OF THE HEART.


Soft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And stirs with tremulous rustic
The dead and dying leaves;
While afar, in the midst of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices of bells,
Come borne on the wind of the Autumn,
That 6tfully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again,
AS the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain,
AS the voices of sentinels mingle
In mountainous regions of snow,
Till from hilltop to hilltop chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the freight of even,
The sound of the rain s distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of a shadowy time;
The slumbereus sense of secluslon,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter of rain On the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in its yearnings
To take all its wanderers home;
Or, afar in the regions of fancy,
Delights on swift pinions to roam,
Iquietly sit by the fire-light-
The freight SO bright and so warm
For know that those only who love me
Will seek me through shadow and storm
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart,
Deserted should not be lonely,
There still would be guests in my heart.
The faces of friends that cherish,
The smile, and the glance, and the tone,
Will haunt me wherever l wander,
And thus am never alone.
With those who have left far behind them
The joys and sorrows of time
Who sing the sweet songs of the angels
In purer and holier cline.
Then darkly, 0 evening of Atumn,
Your rain and your shadows may fall;
My loved and my lost ones you bring me
My heart holds a feast with them all.

PARTIsANsHIP.

1t is a sad truth that partizanship
rules the times and that the rights OF
minorities are trampled in the dust.
Physical power is right; weakness is
wrong. 1t is all mistake to suppose
that laws we're made for the protection
of the people and the impartial admin
istration of justice. They were made
to keep majorities in power and to crush
out opposition. A famous illustration
of this fact is found in the Louisiana
case, where all sorts of frauds have been
perpetrated and sustained under the
pretended forms Of law, which would be
null and void without bayonets. Every
decision is arbitrary, in defiance OF the
well.known laws aud usages Of courts.
These in turn are arbitrarily enforced.
Louisiana is indeed another Ireland. A
fair decision, involving the local ascend
aney of officials or political parties, has
not been made in favor of the opposition
for months or years. The voice of the
people is awed into silence with muskets
and cannon. The latest outrage was
the swearing in Of Spencer as United
States Senator at Washington on Friday.
He was put into his seat by strictly
partisan majority. Had he been a Lib
eral or called himself Democrat, he
would have been voted out by exactly
the same majority. His opponent, who
was really elected, is left outin the cold,
to go home. And Mcmillan, Of Louisi-
ana, elected by the Peoples Legislature,
was the same az laid out on the table.
he only happened to be on the wrong
side of the question. Therefore the law
was against him.

Last Saturday a number of we'll
known citizens, including Messrs. w. c.
Byrd, Z. II. Leidy. H. Furstenheim, A.
Vaccaro and V. Baccigalupo held an i'm
provised meeting and determined to get
up something as a testimonial to the en-
ergy and public spirit of Mr.. Joseph
Speeht and Mr. Lou Leubrie, to whose
efforts Memphis was in great measure
indebted for the Mardi-Gras Carnival.
To resolve upon the thing was TO do it,
so the above named gentlemen were APP
pointed committee to carry the scheme
into execution. They called upon Mr..
Specht, and in an appropriate manner
presented him with chronometer, gold
chain and charms valued at four hun
bred and fifty dollars, and visiting Mr..
Lou Leubrie they presented set Of dia-
mond shirt studs valued at four handled
I
dollars. These we're worthy offerings to
two of our most public spirited citizens,
aud certainly rewards of merit. By way
of carrying out the idea farther, the
committee obtained permission Of the
Exposition Building Association to give
grand masquerade at the Exposition
building on the 10Th inst, next Wednes-
day night week, st. Joseph's day. the en-
tire proceeds to be distributed pro rata
between the orphan asylums of Mem
phis. This is most praiseWorihy en-

tily by our citizens who will attend in
large numbers. Full particulars will be

Last Saturday Edward BARLEY, an
Arkansian, from Crittenden county,
came to this city and INDUCED in a gem
eral spree. He fell in with Bud Patton
and Mike Butler, with whom he travelled
around the city generally. Late at
night BARLEY found himself minus over
one hundred dollars, which he alleges
his newly made friends appropriated in
a way that was dark. Detective Gran
nier arrested Patton and Butler and
locked them up in Castle Athy. This
morning they we're committed by Re-
corder Winters, and the Grand Jury
found true bills against them. They
stand a fair chance of doing the State
some service in the penitentiary. Pat
ton is notorious rough, but Butler has
heretofore stood well in the community,
and can attribute his troubles to bad
company.

THE WHITE RIVER VALLEY.

Il is plain enough that the railroad
connection between Memphis and Jack
sopport must be made soon, or It will be
useless. ST. Louis already has an ad'
vantage over us when the rivers are low
and when contemplated railway lines
are finished by St. Louis we simply lose
the trade Of the White river valley. The
neople OF that city build railways to IN
crease their trade, aud not to realize
dividends on the stock. When an enter
prise of this sort is presented they ask
how many bales of cotton and how many
country merchants and dollars and
cents will it probably bring TO ST. Louis
in Eve or ten years. II the answer IS
favorable they take stock, but not with
a view of the immediate profits OF rail
roading. They regard the trade oil the
rich White river valley as already Sc
cured; in fact, a bale Of cotton can be
carried from Searcy or Jacksonport TO
st Louis for less than TO Memphis any
time OF the year when rivers are low.
This fact is known TO the cotton growers
of that region as well as on Front Row,
and better, too. Thus far st. Louis has
not been able to establish much OF a
cotton market, owing to the great dis
lance from the cotton fields, but heavy
uremiums are offered every year for the
best bales, and every possible induce
ment held out to planters and Southern
country merchants to induce them to
trade there, and OF course the cotton
goes where the goods are bought. They
are willing to lose money on cotton and
in building railroads few years for the
rich returns that judicious outlay OF
capital will eventually bring. We have
not the capital or unity of action to
compete with St Louis, but we have adj
vantages in position, climate, homogene-
Gus surroundings. Memphis is the ma
tural great cotton market Of the Missis-
sippi valley above New Orleans, but
St. Louis may become an artificial
market and carry away much of our
trade if We do not act in concert to re-
tain what we have ard to reach forth
into new and contested fields. The
road to JacksoDpOrt can be built, but to
be one Of its full value TO US must be
built quickly. The facts have been set
forth clearly by the Chamber Of Com
meree aud through the daily press re-
peatedly. The talking has been done
well and to the point, likewise the writ
ing. The time has come for action.
What do the people intend to subscribe
when tangible plan is presented?
Their response will settle the matter.

In England when new peer is Gre

whom he presents his letters patent.

Rounded Palmer, now Lord Selbourne,
arrived in the House, with his iRtrodu-
GERS, the Garter King-at-Arms, the Earl
Marshal and the Lord Chamberlain, as
he could not present the patent and
writ Of summons to himself, he knelt to
the empty throne, on which he laid the
documents, rose, took them back, then
knelt again, after which he was conduct

clerk then read aloud. He afterwards
took the oath and subscribed the roll.
Throughout the ceremony, Lord Sell
bourne was clad in the gorgeous but
cumbersome robes Of his office, with his
