THE VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
Rev. DIR. YOung's work In MenphIs-A
Strong Appeal TO the MethOdists
| of Ghe Ci+y.

The Western Methodist for this week
has the following, to which We invite the par
ticular attention OF the Methodists of Mem
phis:
Vanderbilt university approaches the Pc
priod when its promise will begin to eventu-
ate in fuldllment; but meanwhile grave du-
ties are devolved upon its friends, who, of
course, are expected--if they have not already
done soto contribute to the success of its
well-laid plans, on scale commensurate with
Its character and design. In this work, Men,
phis just now is doing good part, and DIR.
Young is cheered as well by what has
actually been done as by what he has
assurances will be done during his present
visit to our city. We are not going now to
give flgures-it must suffice TO say that Dr.
Young is perfectly satisfied with results to
this date, and he authorizes US to state that in
all his experience he has never met with
greater kindness and courtesy than he has re-
ceived invariably from our citizens with
whom his business has brought HIM in con-
tact. Even when his appeals are not success
full, the unpleasant "NO' is spoken with q
grace and suaytty Of manner which relieves
ness. DR.. Young has not yet had time TO see
the greater number Of our enlightened and
liberal citizens. 1t is not his purpose to over
look any who are likely to aid his great cause
and when seen by him, they Will, we trust, all
together, add largely to his long ltsto donors
late to an endowment fund, the product
OF which, from Year to year, will be ex-
pended tor the education and support, at the
the ministry in view, and ire sens of travel
ing preachers who give their time and toll TO
the ministry-classss these to whom the
church owes a great debt, and from whom the
church has received and will receive benefits,
which can by no means be fully repaid even
by all the liberality contemplated in the sue
cess OF the present important enterprise. The
church and society at large will be the real
and perpetual benefciaries of the endOw-
ment-fund now in course OF accumulation.
Come, brethren and friends, one and all, Just
now-with your minds brought to an under
standing OF the wants and claims of our uni
versity, and with your hearts and cOnsciences
impressed by the weight OF its appeal-do
your duty without delay. Let every one re-
solve to have pecuniary personal interest in
this great educational institution.

COOPERATIVE COM MMERCIAL MOVE.
MEET

An important card from the officers OF
the chamber of commerce appears in
our columns this morning, authorizing
a canvass of the city for the purpose of
increasing the membership and reducing
the fees, so as to popularize this most ex-
cellent and useful institution, and MAX
ing it accessible to aAl classes of business
men and manufacturers. The chamber
OF commerce was never more popular
with selid business men, and has never
been doing more accessible work. Its
compilation of receipts and shipment of
leading articles of trade, is ac-
curate, and all that can be de-
sired or is accomplished in any
of our commercial centers. Its regular
meetings are regarded as forum for the
discussion and determination Of all COM
mercial questions which affect the busi-
ness interests of city and country, either
remotely or directly. 1t is dispassion-
ate body of business men to promote the
general and individual interests of citi-
zens, and all should be represented in it.
Cooperation is what is needed in every
active measure, and this may be now
obtained at trihing cost by joining
hands and making the chamber af COM
meree what it should be-the voice of
the business men of Memphis.

FORREST CITY, ARK, March 21.-
Judged. w. Fox was shot this morning about
eight O'Clock, and died at one O'Clock this al
ternoon, by ]. r. p. Aldridge, with double
barrel shotgun, the contents OF both barrels
entering his stomach and bowels. He was on
his way from the hotel to the postoffice, when
Mr.. Aldridge stepped out from r. g. Dyes
drugstore and said, snow, Judge Fox,' at the
same time filing on him. The first shot lodged
in his stomach, and he fell upon the ground,
exclaiming, "Oh, Lord, am dead man."
After be had fallen, Aldridge, 10 make sure Of
his work, discharged the other barrel at him,
which took effect in his bowels. He was
taken back TO the hotel, when it was found
upon examination that his wounds were ia
tai. Aldrldge then delivered himself up to
the sheriff. The jury of inquest returned
verdict in accordance with the above facts.
The origin of the difficulty is not definitely

OF some remarks to Aldridge by Judge Fox,
while the latter was on the bench. Aldridge
is now in custody of the sheriff.
