by unprejudiced members Of the Paris

Of Paris depends chiefly on Ameri-

are occupied by Americans; they have
the best horses and the best carriages.
The best boxes at the theaters, also, are

The Gharms Of Music.


There raj music in the station-house
last night, owing to the fact that a man
named Beard having in his possession a
violin, was arrested by the detectives on
a telegram from Grenada, Miss, charg-
ing him with larceny. Beard was locked
up, but the violin, a common instrument,
of good tone however, was brought forth
by Uncle jim Torrey, who ~discoursed
upon it many of the old Southwestern
arias Of a quarter Of a century ago.
Then came Joe McCullers, the livery
stable man, who handled the bow as he
does the ribbons, most scientifically, he

and Caucasian, as well as popular dane.
ing tunes. After a while a young gen.
tlemen, attracted by the music divine,
dropped in, and Selling the bow and I'D
die, gave the former a few gymnastic
turns and then performed several
operate airs in a mastery manner. He
gave the Watch on the Rhine, a gem
from La Sonnambula, a p%otpourri, a
waltz, and Home, Sweet Home, with va
riations. He left, but his place was sue
ceeded by a patrolman of the day force,
and he ratified away in good style for
half an hour. A musical professor on
on his way homeward, heard the well
known sounds, and he stopped and was
prevailed upon to perform a few difficult
pieces Of work from the best masters.
Mr.. Beard, who is charged with having
stolen the violin, was really a public
benefactor, as by SO doing the soul Of
music was called forth around the
gloomy portals Of the city prison and
the sounds sank deep aver into the souls
of the birds Of prey who, with eager
ears, caught every note as it Aoated be.

phan Asylum.
To-day the illustrious order of Odd
Fellows assembled and had a street pa
rade in honor Of a very important event
the laying Of the cornerstone of an
orphan asylum. Theprocession included
the different Encampments and Lodges,
as well as invited guests. The turnout
was very imposing and the display was
added to by numerous banners and bands
of music. The route of the procession
" as follows:
From North Court street, down Court
to Second, down Second to Union, up
Union to Main, up Main to Market
street, where the column halted, opened
ranks aud disbanded, for tie purpose Of
visiting the. Leath Orphan Asylum
grounds, where the ceremonies incident
to laying the cornerstone were to be a
ried on. These ceremonies were of a
most interesting character, and were
witnessed by a large concourse of citi-
zens.
Grand Master Sehorn performed the
ceremonies incident to laying the cor
ner-stone Of an institution that will stand
as a monument of the good and charita-
BILE deeds Of the brotherhood, for no pur-
pose can be more holy and charitable
than providing for the orphans. The
address was delivered by Grand Repre-
sentative Johnston, Of Boliver. The
very interesting celebration will wind up
with a barbecue, and q very pleasant
time will be enjoyed by all those who
can attend. Citizens wishing to go out
will find omnibuses at the end Of the
street railroad, to convey them back
and forth to the asylum, for the sum Of
ten cents the round trip. In response
to a brotherly invitation extended
by the Odd Fellows, the differ
ent Masonic lodges of the
city were represented at the
celebration, an evidence of a fraternal
spirit most complimentary to both orders.
Indeed, the Odd Fellows have rendered
the free use Of their asylum for such or.
phans of the Masonic fraternity as they
choose to send there, until the Masonic
orphan asylum is erected.

An Important Queslion.


The late arrests of the soiled doves on
Washington street by Mr.. Truehart has
given a new impetus to an issue which
has been talked of for some time, viz :
the jurisdiction Of magistrates who do
business out of the districts wherein
they we're elected. The city of Memphis
includes the Fifth and Fourteenth civil
districts, and the magistrates elected in
these districts are as follows: In the Fifth
are Esquires Winters (Recorder), Spell
mar aud Quigley, The latter was
elected in consequence of the lew which
provides that where the courthouse is
located, that district is entitled to an ad-
ditional magistrate. In this district are
also doing business Esquires Egnew and
Miller, who we're elected in the'Fifteenth
district, and Esquire Caldwell at
Bartlett. In the fourteenth district of
the city there are Esquires Hall, Elliott
and Thompson, TIE district having been
entitled to these before the courthouse
was moved from it to the Fifth district.
But in the Fourteenth is also Esquire
Coleman, of Raleigh. Several of the
elected magistrates Of the Fifth and -Four.
teenth districts talk of applyingf for writs
of injunction to prevent the outside
magistrates from establishing Offices and
doing business in said districts, as they
insist that they have a right to ell the
legal business, to the exclusion Of mag
istrates elected in outside districts,of the

a Fiand.

Yesterday afternoon a negro 6eud, Ed
Duncan, attempted to commit an out
rage upon the person of a little white
girl, daughter -cf'J. W. Tigbe, a dealer
in vegetables who resides on Besl street.
The girl had occasion to go into Che
stable where the villain was at work,
when he seized her and made the attempt
at outrage. Her screams attracted the
attention of her father and mother, and
they rushed out and rescued her from
the grasp Of Duncan. The face of the
child shows the marks of the teeth Of
the monster. Mr.. Tighe overcame his
passion snd intention to kill the villain
and carried him to the station-houGe a
prisoner, Hanging is too good a fate
for such dangerous animals or iends in
human shape.

interfere il Congress chooses to disobey. This
Message is q menace, which Congress, if 1t
had any selt-respect, would promptly resent 1t
should compel him to resign. His resigna-
ton of the Office of the Presidency would give
the republican party new life 1t would
destroy schemes that make the country uneasy,
paralyze business and retard national prog
ress. It would leave the Presidency in the
hands of Mr.. Wilson. whose recent letter
shows him to be statesman, knowing the
people, in full sympathy with the best ideas of
the republican party, and respecting the laws
as well as the traditions of the constitution.
If the President is not amenable to this advice,
but continues to drive on and on, risking
rebellion in the interest of his ambition, then
we cannot too soon prepare for struggle that
will involve the safety and honor of this
country.

The CENTENNIAL MovEMENT.-The address
of Director General Goshofn to Governor
Tilden, calling the attention of the Governor
to the coming Centennial Celebration in Phila-
delphia, is q document of interest and i'm.
portance. We are glad to know that the
Governor has expressed deep interest in this
celebration. He sees, what many of our best
citizens have failed to see, that even in its
most selfish aspect, apart from any national
value, New York will make ten dollars through
the Centennial for every one that il made in
Philadelphia. In other words, the Centen-
NAL Exhibition is practically held in New
York, and our State should promptly take an
active part in the movement. Pennsylvania
has done nobly her share. New Jersey has
followed. Why should New York be laggard
in good work in which the fame of the State
is not alone concerned, but the interests Of
her citizens We trust the Governor will
promptly consider the appeal Of General
Goshorn, and that our Legislature will make
q response worthy of the enterprise and gen.
crosby of New York.
