Who is taxpayer? is question gen
orally discussed in this city. The law
is that no one is Taxpayer bnt the cit
izen who pays taxes on personal prop
eriy or real.estate; bus the subtle cas-
uist insists that every working, laboring
man is taxpayer because the result
of bis labor is developed into property
held by others on which taxes are paid
or he pays taxes indirectly when he
purchases supplies ioF himself or family
the taxes being added pro rata to the
price Of goods so purchased. OF course

Nv reference TO a SPECIAL dispatch
el.ewhere from Paducah, it will be seer
that the directors of the Memphis and
paduoab Railroad Company have re
solved tc put the remainder OF the line
about thirty miles, under contract al
once. Each end Of the road is in opera
ton. and, we understand, is paying hand
somely already When the gap is com
uleted, as It can be next summer easily
and trains run through, it will be real
lied that this is one of the most import
ON, connections ever made for Memphis.
The road constitutes part of direct air
Inc betseen New Orleans and Chicago,
and will bling a large tide of travel and
freight through this city that has hereto
fore gone by other routes or not gone at
all Rates can be so arranged that much
travel from the extreme South to New
York will be induced to take this route.
Of course, the time is coming when
the progressive men of this city will see
d., advantage of connecting the North
arm and Southern roads and running
trains directly through Memphis. All
prosperous cities have learned long ago
that nothing Is made by forcing passen'
cers IN ride a mile or two in an omnibus
or by placing an embargo on through
freirbts. Such a policy will retard the
growth Of any city, for in these days
there are too many competing lines 10 al.
low such stupidity to succeed. People VIII
not come by Memphis and change cars
in bad weather when they can go byGrand
Junction without being disturbed In
their luxurious palace sleeping cars.
As a mere toll-gate Memphis will never
fiji M the true measure Of her CON-
mercisl greatness. The city that
puts itself in the way OF com
merce to dam it up like lock on
canal eau never expect to measure
arms with its shrewS and vigorous rivals
We hope that Memphis viii keep up with
the enterprising spirit of the age, and
that with the completion of the Memphis
and Paducah railroad we will see through
trains from New Orleans TO Chicago
passing along our bluffs carrying the
travel and trade of cities thousand
miles apart.

Wooden shoes are highly recon-
mended by the agricultural societies and
governments of Europe, as it is shown
that many diseases resulting in i'm
paired constitutions and even by loss OF
life have resulted from wearing leather
shoes in wet weather. A practical
workman from France has been called
recently in Germany to superintend
their manufacture. They are light and
easy to wear, and provided with small
cushion within the upper side to obviate
any pressure on that part of the foot.
They are OF q neat, pleasant appear
auoe, blackened or vanished, large
enough TO accommodate comfortable
stockings. and provided with leather
straps. Their prices range from twenty
four to thirty six cents, and very lew

Prof.. mn. muller n one Pulpit.

From the jewish llmes.I
The learned man of Westminster
Abbey has ventured upon an innovation,
which has caused sensation within and
without the circle Of the conservative
Church Of England He has permitted
the pulpit Of the historic Abbey 10 be
occupied by a layman, though no less a
man than the renowned linguist, Prof.
Max Muller. Among Jews the appear
ance of layman in the pulpit is moth
ing strange. We have no consecrated
and Amounted priests, and anyone who
has the intellectual capacity and neces-
sary accomplishment may be invited to
address congregation. Some of our
most renowned rabbis, men that have
immortalized their names in the annals
Of Hebrew literature, have been sum
moned from the midst of the people,
were taken from behind the counter
almost to occupy the position of leader
of congregation. The present learned
rabbi of Wurzburg, Bavaria, kept little
country store before he was elected to
the office which be now holds. And in
stead of falling in with .he cant Of our
contemporary, the Jewish Chronicle, in
deploring the event Of an innovation,
we rejoice in it as step in advance,
made in so conservative body as the
English Church.

MEMPHIS THEATER. "A moderately
large audience appeared at the theater
last evening to witness Mr.. King in his
fine rendition of Richelieu. As on the
night before, it was piece of acting
most dramatic and pleasing. Tonight
the romantic drama of Notre Dame will
be presented with the following cast:
"Quasimodo, the Bell Ringer Of Notre
Dame" Mr.. King; "Claude Frollo,
Archdeacon Of Notre Dame" Harry
Moreland; Captain Phebus, of the
Kings Archers," Edwin F. Knowles;

and Mr., King during his late engage

with great force and originality. 1t was

are laid in Paris and are of a most sem

LITERARY.-Last evening quite a
large audience assembled at the Green
law Opera House for the purpose of list
oning toreadings and Rotations from the
poets by Mrs. O'Byrne. The programme
embraced lines from the leading Eng

ries. Mrs. o Byrne appeared in green
silk dress and seemed self.pessessed.
She has not strong voice, and as an
elOcutonist she does not compare with
Olive Logan, who appeared before the
people of Memphis last season. Many
of the readings we're given with feeling
and effect, aud brought forth considera-

CrlmiaaI La,r tn Japan.
Prom tho Pail Mall ciayetto.l

From tho fali Mail uafetto.I
A short time ago a man belonging to
tho Japanese town of Omi was con-
victed Of stealing and sentenced to be
hanged Three days after the execu-
ton Of the sentence his relatives came
with a coffin and applied for his body;
but as they were putting him in the
coffin the man came to life again. The
relatives then attempted TO carry him
away but they were stopped by the po-
lice, who again brought him before the
magistrate. After much. discussion It
was decided that as the sentence had
been executed the man could not again
be punished for the same offense, and he
was set free accordingly, no one being
hard hearted enough TO point out the
fact that the Judges doom had been
most clearly not carried out. Again,
an obedient son living with his aged pa
rents had disagreeable wife who made
the old couple very uncomfortable. The
son, in order to restore the harmony OF
his household, poisoned his wife. This
act, though decided by filial piety, could
not be entirely overlooked by the au-
thorities. The man was therefore tried
for the murder and sentenced for ten
years. but, ON consideration of the cir
cumstances the court decided that these
should be spent in his fathers house on
condition that he wore chains all the
time
