A Memphis Naiad.

When the masquerade ball was at its
hight last night in the Exposition
building, an amusing accident happened
to one of the maskers-a female in the
apparel of the sterner sex. In the mid
die of the building there stands foun-
tain and basin, in which latter the water
is about eighteen inches in depth. The
masquerading female had imbibed too
freely, and while cavorting around the
basin, backed into it. There was a
splash, scream, and a pair of
feet was all that was to be seen for few
seconds; the Naiad had reached her ele-
ment, and was again the presiding and
reclining divinity of the gushing spring.
A good Samaritan in the shape of gem
tleman who stood near by rushed to the
rescue and lifted the wet nymph from
the muddy waters of Wolf river. She
stood for a few seconds in helpless
beauty, and then departed wetter and
wiser. At masquerade ball, water to
be pleasant, should be mixed with other
liquids,

control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of Consumption, cured by this preparation, arc publicly known, SO remarkable as hardly to be believed, were they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy, it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un- numbered lives, and m amount Of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con- vinccs the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice tions, which arc easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and 1t is unwise to be without it. As n safeguard to children, amid tho distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multitudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordi- nary colds securing sound sound and heasroitOfmg enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know how easily, they can be cured.
 Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll is spared in making every bottle in tho utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently relied upon as possessing ell the virtues it has ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures as

but with less experience and talents. For week
many combinations were vainly tried to form q new
Cabinet, from which extreme opinions were carefully
extended, and during that week, had il not been for
the firm attitude 81 Marshal Mcmahon, . fearful

members OF the right as are known for their moder-
alton, has been appointed on the 23d Of May, the
fact Of the Prime Minister being a soldier, General
de Cissey, Minister of War, seems indicative of 8
vigorous policy by which order viii st least be pre-
served. 1t is to be hoped that the conservative por-
tons Of the Assembly, orleanists, and moderate Re-
publicans viii lend their assistance toward voting the
Constitutional laws, and that all parties, in a spirit
Of patriotism, should forget their dissensions, and
establish = strong Government. If they fail to form
q compact majority, the Assembly will be dissolved
and new elections will take place, which may result
in introducing in the Legislature the worst elements
Of an ignorant democracy, preparatory to another
advent of despotism. I must here confess that the
d~espotism of a single master is preferable to that Of
any mob. We can fOresee the hard rule of the one
but not the excuses of the other. At any rate the
situation is not satisfactory, and I have thought these
few considerations desirable in order to explain the
somewhat confused and contradictory reports Of tele-
grams. And now, dear ADVERTISER, with best aloha
