The reto Champetre.

Last evening the promenade grounds
in front of the residence Of Mrs. X. G.
Brinkley, on Poplar street, were crowded
by the elite Of the city, who responded
to the call made by the Church Orphans
Home for assistance. The entertainment
continued until late into the night, when
the guests retired to dream Of a charming
fete champetre and delicious music.
The programme was excellent, being
composed of musical gems from the old
masters and rendered by Arnolds and
Handwerker's bands and orchestras in
most professional and artistic manner.
The vocalists who aided in the success
were Misses Clara and Meta Marable,
E. Murray and Messrs. Harper, Peter
son, Bultman, Carey and others. Both
the instrumental and vocal music were
charming.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Mr.. James Kirkland, the musical direc-
tor, who has done so much to popularize
musical taste among the masses An
opera troupe only attracts the rich, bat
these outdoor fetes attract all people,
Nothing has so refining an influence on
humanity as music, and the man who
inaugurates such with view to enter
tain the masses of the people is a public
benefactor; he is a musical missionary,
following in the wake of those who have
made the natives of Europe lovers of
music. No man who loves music can
possibly commit crime. May we not
hope that this beautiful and charming
fete will be repeated at an early day.
Apart from the musical attractions pre-
sented, the cause is most charitable, it
being for the orphans OF our city.

A Real Case of Long-Lost brothers

Somerville (Tenn.) Falcon, June D.
The old saying that truth is stranger
than fiction is often illustrated in the
private walks of life. The other I,ay an
incident occurred at Moscow Worth rela-
ting. 1t was Oh the So1erville train
that middIe.aged man of fine proper
tons, apparently total stranger, was
observed He had in his possession
several specimens of rich silver ore, and
his athletic build plainly indicated that
he was a resident of the Far West.
When the train stopped several gentle
men surrounded him and commenced
examining his ores. In casual CONVEX
sation it was ascertained that his name
was Johnson; that he once resided in
Fayette county; that he was just from
his home on the Texas frontier, and that
he was on his way to Somerville after an
absence from his home and separation
from his family of twenty-three years.
When he left there was not railroad in
West Tennessee.
While he was speaking of the total
changes that marked every portion Of
the county, Mr.. David johnson, of
Grand Junction, boarded the train, and
also made an examination OF the stran-
gers dress. In a moment his eyes left
the precious metals and became fast
ened on the stranger with bewildered,
anxious expression, which soon attracted
the attention of the bystanders. To
relieve the evident intense suspense,
some one remarked, you two ought to
be related. For the first time the at
tention of the stranger was aroused, and
the eyes of the brothers-for brothers
they were-met for the first time in
twenty-three years. A moment more
and recognition had taken place. The
reunion can better be imagined than
described. The younger of the two was
a mere boy when they separated so many
years sgo-the other WAS a full.grown
man. Mr.. j. W. johnson is now the
owner of four thousand acres Of land in
the rich mining districts on the frontier
of Texas, and is in a prosperous condi-
ton.

From the Union and American. 18TH.
The determination seems universal
that the State Convention this year
shall be full one. A large number Of
counties have already chosen delegates,
and many of them provides for two or
more representatives from each civil
district This will give some counties
as high as seveDty-fve delegates, while
few would fall below twenty-five.
Taking the latter as an average. a little
figuring will show that ninety-three
counties would give us a grand army of
over two thousand representatives. As
the proxy system is very opeu to abuse,
and the people are impressed with their
duty to attend and shape political bod
les, most of the delegates will probably
endeavor to attend. Without any dlspo'
sition to exsggerate, it is evident that
thelcoming Convention will be the ARG
est representative body ever heldln l en-,
nessee. Our hotels aud citizens shoulo
make a note of it. The vote OF the va
rinus counties will, of course, be deter
mined by their political census, IRE,
spective of the numerical strength oil
delegations.

The citizens Of Bartlett ard vicinity
purpose giving a barbecue and grand
ratification meeting on Tuesday, July
2lst to which all opposed to Radicalism

ism. A number of prominent and elo-
quent speakers will be in attendance who

the day. Trains will be engaged for the
occasion. The speaking will commence

didate for office, and had so announced
himself, thereby rendering himself ineli
gible as a Councilman under article z
section s. of the city charter. Mr.
Hughes did not appear as candidate
before the negro convention, but it is
stated that his name was brought up in
the secret council or caucus, and there
defeated by Pat Winters, jr.
It is with pleasure that we announce
that that true-hearted Irishman Mike j.
Waldran, who was the opponent OF G.
L. Anderson for the nomination for the
Office of Sheriff in the Bartlett Conven-
ton, is working for Anderson, and spares
neither time nor money in the good
Bartlett cause. The white people will
not forget Mr.. Waldran for his generous
support to the ticket. Heisan Irishman
of whom the lIrish.Americans of Mem
phis may well be proud.
The question of little contracts "
with the city will be discussed around
the Council board this afternoon, when
article 2, section 5, of the city charter
will also come up for observation. 1t
has been charged that many members o!
the General Council have rendered them
selves ineligible to seats around the
Boards by reason Of having contracts
with the city in violation Of the charter,
and it is boldly stated on the streets, and
we give it as such, that Mayor League
owns the Causey street station-house,
and leases it to the city. These things
have been made so public that the Gen
eral Council owei to themselves and the
public to investigate the question to the
bottom.
The intelligent Irishmen of Memphis
will, on the 9th Of August, show Messrs.
Winters, Davis, Mulvihill & Co., that
they do not carry one-ffth of one thou
sand Irish votes in their coat tail pockets.
The white caucus fends Of the niger
convention who had fixed up cut and
dried ticket presumed to assert that
Davis would carry one thousand Irish
votes over to negrodom and civil rights;
that Mulyihill would do the same, and
that Winters would do likewise. The
white race of people known as Cels
have not as yet become negroes, although
some of their would-be leaders, for the
sake of office, undertake to make bill
Of sale of their countrymen to the ne
groized Radical party. Such trading
leaders are despised by every honest and

1t is impossible to say positively until
after the 3lst of July, 1874, who viii
draw the capital prize in the Public
Library of Kentucky. But if we we're
to hazard a guess upon the subject, it
would be that some one from fair to
middling luck, who buys a ticket in due
time, will draw it. We know, at least,
that all the best financial intellects in
the country entertain this opinion.

John Mitchell in Irela nd.

Contrary to the expectation of his friends Mr..
John Mitchell, the well known Irish patriot was
allowed to land III Ireland without interference
from the authorities. 1t will be remembered
that twenty-seven years ngo MIR. Mitchell was
sentenced to imprisonment for life on account
of the part he took in an attempt at insurrec-
ton Not liking life in the penal colonies he
escaped to America and has ever since main
tained an unfinching attitude of hostility to
the government of Great Britain. His return
to Ireland in defiance of his sentence naturally
produced deep sensation, and the welcome
which he received ON his arrival in Cork ex-
pressed truly enough the esteem in which this
unfinching opponent Of English rule in Ire
land is held by his compatriots- The
streets of Cork were illuminated by bon
fires, and q torchlight procession in
which nearly five thousand persons took part,
accompanied by bands of music, serenaded
the returned ''felon." It was characteristic
of the man that the first words spoken in
public were fierce denunciation of the gov
ernment He admitted that he might be cast
tence of crime, but consoled himself with
the reflection that every one of his hearers
was in exactly the same predicament. He
took occasion to inform all whom it might
concern that he had returned in the hope of
being able 'to do something effective in the
struggle Of his country against foreign domi.

Iceland's Millennium.

We publish to-day very interesting &C.
count of the island in the Arctic regions
which celebrates at this time the millennium
of its first effort to establish, within its ci r
cumscribed limits republican institutions.
That SINGLE circumstance is sufficient to draw
the attention Of the American people from the
contemplation of third term, reconstruction
squabbles and the Brooklyn scandal toward
the bleak land where Odin and Thor reigned
until Christianity drove them out, and where
ice and hot springs, Polar bears and volcanoes,
and fertile pastures and drear wastes alike
distract the mind. The graphic letters Of our
correspondent, Dr.. L I. Hayes, whose name
as an Arctic explorer is already enshrined
with those of Franklin, Kane, Mcclure and
Hall, lift the veil of obscurity which has long
enshrouded the land Of Odin from view and
prepare the mind of the reader for the cere-
monies which the King of Denmark has by
this time presided over. bringing Iceland back
to the condition of original independence that
the occasion commentaries. Small as Iceland
is and smaller still as its part in the worlds
history has been, it is interesting to American
readers, who are preparing for the
centennial of their own Republic, to
learn all about republic founded
thousand years ago. The noblest act of
His Most Christian Majesty's reign is the
giving back to the descendants of the hardy
Norsemen the independence for which they
forsook country, titles and wealth. A thou
sand years ago woman's whim drove the
petty kings, or jarIs, Of Norway to seek home
and republic in Iceland, and the same
female element is the source Of nearly every
trouble at the present day. The love of Harold
for woman led him into war of extermina-
ton against the chiefs Of the Scandinavian
tribes, who were probably not possessed of
the numerical strength of followers of the
chairman of ward committee to-day.
Our correspondent also gives an account of
those wonderful Vikings that swarmed over
the seas in the ninth century in their queer
little boats, fleet of which might be safely
slowed away in the compartments Of the
Great Eastern. Those daring rovers pene-
trated into regions where, for centuries after
them, no craft would venture, and the deter
mined hostility of the New England savages
alone prevented them from obtaining per-
manent foothold on our Continent What
