Moore, the negro woman Lou. Porter,
and dozens OF other persons have never
been brought TO justice. Memphis seems
to be the murderers' Paradise, where
they can go unwhipped Of justice.
General Myers, the head Of the Signal
Service Bureau at Washington, should
purchase Captain Jack, the Modoc hog
OF the Chickasaw Bluffs, and set him up
on end as barometer. The barometer
invented by Torrecell, who discovered
the vacuum above the mercury in the
tube, is imperfect as weather gauge or
indicator Of atmospheric changes when
compared TO Captain Jack. As signal
Ter and forester Of storms the hog
beats the signal service badly. Twelve
hours before a rain or other storm,
Captain Jack can be seen carrying
around in his mouth straw, barrel hoops,
iron hoops, etc. When this is seen you
may put up all your money that storm
is approaching from some point OF the
compass.
Sentimental and unmarried Memphis
ladies will End solace in the following
spiritualistic description Of dead lovers
who make love in Platonic style to earth
ly maideDs. Laura Cupby Smith, know
ing how it is herself, reports that the
lover of my girlhood now walks the view
less causeways of the air, and inasmuch
as he was cultured, lofty-souled and
large.hearteI, he doubtless loves and is
beloved by many fair and queenly wo-
man in that land Of light and song,
yet he finds time to return to earth's
turbulent scenes and battle my toil-worn
spirits in the deep waters Of his passion
ate and intense affection, and those
chords in my Utmost being that first re-
sponded to his touch, remaining mute in
the presence Of all others, thrill and
vibrate, as of yore, in an ecstacy of rap
ture when swept by his spirit touch.

A Curious Case.

Esquire Spelman will have to bring
forth the wisdom of Solomon this after
noon when he hears the case of the
State VS.. Georgel Williams (negro), who
is arrested on the oath of Madame
Anna, alias DeKnight, alias Angelina
Wolf, white woman and fortune teller.
Madame Anna gets out State warrant
for George, charging him with illegally
cohabiting with herself. Some weeks
since these parties were before the Re-
corder for the same offense, and the
Madame expressed her undisguised love
for the man Of color and her desire to
wed him, but George, having a correct
idea of the laws of Tennessee prohibit
ing intermarriages between blacks and
whites, obstinately refused to enter the
bonds Of matrimony.
