over our store, we are led to think that not

condition of the store, on the morning
after the fire (and from time to time there
after, until the settlement was made), were
mistaken as to the actual and anticipated
damage by the goods becoming widowed.

BLESSED IL NOTHING

Onc by one the cherished illusions Of the
past are being exploded, MS if to enforce
the fact that ''therc is nothing tue but
heaven" We refer not to the fondly be-
licyed fictions OF history which the "new
school of investigators have demonstrated
to be fancy not fact. Nor do we allude,
although we might, TO the equally obscure
idea that the plighted faith of great people
could be implicitly relied upon. Those
who so continue to believe, sin against
light, for Mississippi, Pennsylvania and the
other great states long ago demonstrated
how little worth was such faith, and how
lightly public credit and the faith of the
state, when weighed in balance with tax
alton for the weight. Ben Butler, Kelley,
Pendeton and others are, even now, doing
heir best to remove the slight mote which
still remains in the eye, by endeavoring TO
cause national honor to become thing of
naught and the plighted faith and credit of
the American people as but the lightest
vapor which vanishes at the least breath.
Wherein. we may ask, do those who, by
specious arguments and delusive promise,
seek to despoil the country of its honor,
faith and credit, to rob the people of their
hard earnings by depreciating the currency,
making gold an article OF commerce instead
of a medium of exchange, and by partial

ton, boy about dozen years old accused
of the murder of Horace II. Mllin, four

ment lawyers are attorney general Train

very strong evidence against Pomeroy pre-
scented at the coroner's inquest was repro
duced, and, without the testimony for the
decidedly against him. The bloody shirt
OF the little victim, and the knife with
which Pomeroy is said TO have committed
| the deed, and which has been identified as
his previous to the crime, were produced
| in court. Several witnesses testify to
having seen Pomeroy and Milln ON the
day of the murder, and 10 his excited APP
pearance, while one says that lie saw the
two boys cross the creek near the scene Of
the murder, going toward The spot, and
Pomeroy was beating AIlin. The man
who was digging clans near by testifies to
having seen boy running away flom the
fatal spot. In addition to the charge of
killing Millin, Pomeroy is under in lct-
mcnt for the murder of the little girl, Katie
Curran.

Picnic at James Park Yesterday.
Our German fellow. citizens and their
friends celebrated Maifest yesterday at
James Park. In the afternoon an i'm

surrounded the music stand in order to
hear addresses from j. A. Gronauer and
Colonel A. j. Kellar. The former gave
history Of former Maifests" and Of
German habits when celebrating their
anniversaries or out-doo fetes. Colonel
KelIar was suffering from a severe sore
throat, and consequently made a brief
speech in English.
Colonel Kellar referred to the indis-
soluble chain of sympathy existing be-
tween the German people and English
speaking nations. His speech was
listened to with attention and was re.
ceived with applause. The fest was kept
up until late at night, when the crowds
of people in attendance returned to their
homes, weary but satisfied with the
pleasures of the day.

The Nashville Banner of the 10th has
the following spicy news from one Of ita
representatives who attended the Mem
phis races, and bought pools with reck-
lessness but judgment, as he won not
less than one thousand dollars during
the week:
Bourbonism has had strong footing
hereabout, but it is gradually giving way
to more healthy political tone, such as
found expression at the far famed Bart
lett love feast" There is strong
tendency to consolidate. the Conserva-
tive strength and so there is no Earring
among the newspapers. The Avalanche,
which, in the fall Of obloquy and re-
proach, did world of good in the way
of Matchmaking and liberalizing public
sentiment, is gettingg racefully into
the party harness, but without
compromising its independence. The
fact of it is. it has, in great measure,
brought the party up to its own position,
and cheerfully makes some little conces-
sions, in order to effect harmonious feel-
ing, now that harmony is needed. The
fiery invective of the Appeal is heard no
more in the land, but instead, the sub
dued tones Of tolerably healthy con.
servatism, with just slight tinge some
times to remind one of the boisterous
billingsgate that used to be the rage in
fire eating times. The LEDGER is an
unostentatious little sheet, but conduc-
ted in admirable tone and temper. The
Register represents an Indifferent type
of Bourbonism, but Yields only small
influence. Speaking of the journals
here, if they would only publish about
FIVE times as much telegraph news as
they do, they would be much better news
papers, and | would have saved about
ninety cents which | invested in five
days in outside papers, in order to learn
the news.
The sporting Bannerian man thus
modestly refers to his weeks racing
career on the Chicasaw Jockey Club
Course, which be attended daily and
won no little money as stated:
During the present week there have
been running races out at the Chickasaw
Course. At the earnest solicitation of
friend / was prevailed upon to attend
one day. The sport was very good, and
we'll conducted, but then nearly every
body was betting or buying pools, which
gave fast and reckless tingc to the sur
roundings. The exhlerating excite
ment of the sport, however, somewhat
atoned for the demoralizing features,
and l really believe / could be induced
to 60 again.
Oh, wicked Banner mani why do you
write it thus, when you know that you
could have been induced to remain in
Memphis a month, provided the races
continued that long2 But it takes a
Nashville man to play the Heather
Chinee in Memphis.
