TYPOGRAPHICAL.

This remiEdei' from the Cincinnati Times
Is also adapted to this latitude: s.It would
be well for Candidates to bear In mind that
a regular loafer never has any real influence
in political affairs; not even controlling bis
own vote, which 10 always for sale to ths
highest bidder"
Judging from Memphis papers of the 10th
and 2lst, the citizens of that place have quit
shooting and stabbing each other, and have
gone into the divorce business quite extern
sively.
Is there city ordinance which makes it
the duty of property holters to keep in re-
pair the sidewalks fronting their premises?
If there Is, why is it not enforced? The
pavement on the west side of Cherry, from
McCture's to the intersection of Cedar, is In
q condition which would disgrace q village
of q thousand inhabitants, and this is one
of our principal business streets. Il is
high time this matter Of repairing sidewalks
was attended to, and steps taken to put
them in mora decent shape. 1t is no more
OF hardship to compel residents of Nash
vile to repair their dilapidated sidewalks,
than to compel those of st. Louis, Chicago
or Philadelphia to perform the same duty,
and the corporation lays itself liable to
heavy damage suits from the shiftless neg
lect which characterizes our citizens in this
particular.
The editor of the Cincinnati Times takes
solid comfort in the reflection thai the earth
Is not mere crust, as some scientific men
claim, otherwise the immense piles of coal
Cincinnati dealers are piliDg away fo- o
rise, would break through said crust, and q
general smash up result.
And now the Cincinnati papers are quar-
reling over the allimportant matter as TO
who was the frs viii child born in OHIO.
Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and Ned Bunt-
line each cleared $4,000 during the past
eight months. Bill thinks this more re-
munerative than the honor of being a
Nebraska legislator, while Texas
Jack is Of opinion that finan-
cially it eclipses buffalo hunting
and scouting. Bill has invested some of his
money in place at Westchester, twenty
miles from Philadelphia, where his family
now reside. Both men are looking we'll,
and sport considerable jeEelry, especially
JACK, whose immaculate shirt Losom is or
namented with 81 100 diamond pin and
diamond studs, and he wears a 81, 900 chain
and magnificent gold watch, while his
little finger on bis left hand is encircled by
a valuable diamond ring. During Jacks
trip east he was presented with a $3.50
breech loading gun by the earl of Dunra-
ven. He also has splendid rife given to
him by Remington, the great manufacturer.
Buffalo Bill also has one given him by the
same gentlemsn.-OmGhd Bee.
The Memphis Register sent a nice young
man, with red cheeks, out to Bon Aqua to
write up the ball which came off there last
week. In the course of lengthy descrip-
top, a la jenkins, the Register man does
up this bit of fine needle work with refer
ence to one of the ladies present: "Misa
Vain is the effort to assume the
dignity which others wear with so much
greece. 1t is rebellion against nature, Tor
in spite of all, the mischief lurking in those
blue eyes, viii burst forth from those red
lips. In spite Of fate, the untutored words
fresh from the heart will find vent, as the
wild ringing laugh seems ofttimes to mock
at some pretty sentiment spoken only for
her own ears. But the soul is all there, full
of kindness for great and small; but if per-
chance that waywsrd sho.ld ever be Gagged,
it must be caught upon the wing Dress
apricot silk, point lace, and diamonds"
All that is enough to discourage the Oldest
girl in America.
