JANE.
BY NoRA PERRY.

She came along the little lane
Where al the bushes dripped with rain'
ana robans sung and sung again.
As If with sudden sheer delight,
Eor such world SO fresh and bright
10 SWING and sing in day and night
But, coming down the little lane.
She did not heed the robins str@ih'
Nor feel the sunshine after ram.
A little face with two brown eyes,
a little form of tender size.
A1ttle head not very Wise;
a little heart to match the head.
A foolish little heart, that bled
At every foolish word was sald.
80, coming down the little lane
] see her now, my little Jane
Her foolish heart with foolish pam
Was aching, aching in her breast,
And all her pretty golden crest
Was dropping as If sore opprest.
And something, too, of anger's trace
Was on the flushed and frowning face,
And in the footsteps qmcKeneo pace.
So swift she slept, so low she ieaat
Her pretty head, on thought intent,
She scarcely saw the way sne went,
Nor saw the long, slim shadow fall
Across the little, low stone wall,
As some one rose up slim and tall
Rose up, and came to meet her there:
youth with something in his air
That, at g; ance revealed his share
In all this foolish, girIish pain,
This grief and anger and disdsin,
That rent the heart of little Jane.
With hastier steps than hers he came.
And in a moment called her name:
And a moment, red as fame,
She bIushed and blushed, and in her eyes
sudden, soft and shy surprise
Did suddenly and softly rise.
- What you ?" she cried, '' thought-they said
Then stopped, aud blushed deeper red.
And lifted up her dropping head,
Shook back her lovely falling hair,
And arched her neck. and strove to wear
A nonchalant and scornfuI air.
A moment thus they held apart
With lovers love and Iovezs' art:
linen swift he caught her to his heart.
What pleasure then was born of pain.
What sunshine after cloud and rain.
as they forgave and kissed again!
Twas April then; he talked Of Nav
And planned therein wedding day:
she blushed, but scarcely said him nay
What pleasure now is mixed with pain
As, looking down the little lane,
A graybeard grown, see again,
Through twenty Aprils' rain and mist.
The little sweetheart that kissed
1he little bride my folly missedI

Kentucky Diversion.

Another fatal shooting affray occurred
IN this county yesterday, in which two
men were killed and one mortally
wounded. Cornishville was the seat OF
war this time. The following are the
particulars, SO far as can be ascertained
at present, as related by friends of the
deceased, who cane to town this morn
ing to telegraph to the police at Louis
vile, Frankfort and Lebanon to be on
the alert and proceed to arrest Herring
on sight:
In the forenoon Isaiah Gabhert and
man by the name of Daniels had some
controversy about a dog. Gabhert
shot Daniels through the leg. Joe
Davenport, constable, cauPht Cab
hert and that difficulty ended there.
In the afternoon, Joe Davenport went
to arrest Gabhert. Upon the approach
of the constable and his posse, some
one informed Gabhert, when he, in
company with a man by the name of
Herring, left Gabhert's house, ap.
preaching the posse. Garland Daven-
port. the brother of the constable,
caught Gabhert's pistol, when the con-
stable struck Gabhert with a large iron
shovel, almost knocking the top of his
head off. Herring Immediately shot
the constable through the body, killing
him instantly. The younger Daven7
port caught Herring, and in the scuf1e
Herring shot him almost in the same
identical place where his brother, the
constable. was shot, only on the op-
posite side of his body. Both of the
Davenports are dead, anG Herring fled
the country. Gabhert is living at home,
and is thought to be in very criti cal
condition. Daniels wound is only
flesh-wound, and is not thought to be

THE WHARF BUSINESS.

The Mayor has, at the last two meet
ings of the General Council, been issu-
ing some campaign documents in the
shape of messages, in regard to improv.
ing the wharf landing, which be seems,
after tWo gears Of careful thought, to
think should at once be repaired. These
buncombe messages Of censure flung at
the General Council for the purpose Of
making friends with the river interest
seem to have rebounded and struck with
force the source from whence they
started. The Mayor tells the Council in
his message that in his opinion>the
money collected from the boats should
be used solely for the purpose Of i'm.
proving or repairing the wharf and land.
ing, and suggests to the Board that
they pass an ordinance setting apart the
wharfage sacredly for that purpose.
The message was referred to the ordi.
nance committee, with instructions tc
prepare an ordinance in accordance with
his Henors views. The ordinance com.
mittee reported to the Board last Wednes
day night that there was and had beer
an ordinance on the books for ovel
twelve months plainly aud positively
setting apart all money collected from
the steamboats, and other boats for tn,
sole purpose Of improving the wharf auC
landing. The Mayor seemed very mucI
surprised at this AnnOupcement. Hi
Honor has simply developed the fac
that he has, through ignorance or other
wise, Incorporated a large amount o.
wharfage money that should have beer
used on our fearfully bad wharf. If il
norance is the plea, we ask how sit tina
he could be ignorant Of a Law which re
CURED his approval to become a law
We predict chat the steamboat owner
who r put to so much trouble and ex
pense by our wharf and landing being 8,

that the wharf and landing fund, Il short
shall be made good by the party who's

Brownlow's Knoxville Chronicle calls
upon the Republicans to organize and
prepare for a brave fight again next
summer. They will no doubt respond
faithfully and promptly, Every inch Of
ground is Of great value to them low.
Success in a single municipal election
would give the party a nucleus and q
point to work from and renewed hope.
Combinations are already on foot. The
mere quiet and discreet Republicans say
nothing; they regard Democratic dis
sensions with great favor, and while
some Of them appear to take sides,
Others are engaged in driving the enter
ing wedges. There are ofice-seekers in
this very city who have played fast and
loose, hot and cold with all parties who
are seeking to curry favor with Ed
Shaw now, with a view to next
summer and next falls elections. Ed
is of course q candidate for continuation
in Office as Wharfmaster, and is ap-
p~roachable. That he has been APP
preached is suggested by his i~nsolence
toward a defenseless stranger who had
supported the Conservative ticket in
Mississippi. The election Of a Radical
Mayor in Memphis would give us inf
mite trouble next summer. Let Us
therefore occupy this stronghold while
we can. Put a straight-out man
in the place and then re
quire him to attend solely to the
legitimate business of the office. The
foot of Brownlow' horn and the demon.
s~tratiou by Ed Shaw and others mean
something. The people should take
warning. The material that made the
Bartlett movement a success is still here
and can be as effective in securing good
local government as that was. The mer
of experience and wisdom whose coun.
sells were potent for good, and the young
men who worked so nobly in that cleo.
ton are equally interested in this. All
that is wanted now is the same perfect
organization and harmony. These can
be secured by little judiciouS effort, and
must be. In view Of the immense in.
terests at stake, personal claims and
preferences should be set aside for the
common good, and all selfish aims utterly
discarded. The Democrats andI Con-
serVatives Of Memphis cannot afford to
let a trickster or a mediocre man step
into the Office Of Mayor to commence
laying pipes for his friends who expect
to get Office next August or November.
Politicians look ahead; SO must the peo-
pie if they would protect themselves.
Above all, the taxpayers cannot afford
to let any man Of doubtful capacity, or
name, or integrity, get into that Office.
They are not blind to self-interest, and
we believe will be moved by motives Of
patriotism and self-protection. A man
is needed who will track the law ana
who will have neither friends to reward
nor enemies to avenge. From this stand.
point the LEDGER will enter the canvass,
having nc favorite or concealed motives,
but ready to work with and for the good
people of Memphis to elect a Mayor who
will rise to the hight Of the great respon.
sibilities and not have TO borrow his dig.
nifty from the Office.

The autumn or 'falp' Of the year,
which we are now enjoying, is known in
this country as Indian Summer. The
Origin Of the latter name is as follows:
The Indian summer is a period Of warm,
pleasant weather which usually occurs
every year in the northern portion Of the
United States after the autumnal storms.
It sometimes continues without inter
ruption two or three weeks, when it is
succeeded by the cold winds and storms
of winter. During the continuance Of
the Indian summer the sky is clear, and
there is a hazy, smoky appearance Of
the atmosphere, especially near the
horizon. 1t is the most pleasant part Of
the year. 1t was a f%avorits season with
the abroiginies, and hence is called
Indian summer. During this time they
were in the habit Of laying up stores Of
goods for the winter. They regarded it
as the gift Of their most bonored deity,
the God of the Southwest, to whom they
believed their souls went after their
death.

As ONE of the immediate results Of the
extension of the Memphis and Charles
ton railroad to the river through Wash
ington street, passenger cars now run
through from Bristol to Little Rock with
out change. Freight loaded at Norfolk
for points in Arkansas does not break
bulk until it reaches Little Rock. This
gives Memphis n through trunk line at
last, the advantages Of which will be
realized in future. The Knoxville Press
and Herald, commenting on these facts,
says: THE completion Of the track to
the river at Memphis is of great impor-
lance to Tennessee, and great credit is
due to the managers of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad as well as to the en-
lightened public opinion Of Memphis for
it. Heretofore St. Louis and Northern
routes have had almost exclusive control
Of the cotton of Middle Arkansas, but
with the advantage now so largely in
favor Of a more southern route we may
again expect Memphis to recover the
trade Of that section and our own route
reap a harvest in carrying the cotton to
the seaboard."

The Knoxville Press and Herald of
the 6thinst deyotes a leading editorial
to the importance Of the conventions to
be held this month in the interest Of a
Southern railroad route to the Pacific
ocean, one to be held at Memphis on the
18th, and the other at st. Louis on the
23d OF the month. In conclusion the
Press and Herald says: zone thing is
certain-if St. Louis is made the eastern
terminus of the route, the benefits to the
South in the construction Of the road are
too remote to amount to any practical
good. Let the Importance Of the mat
fer be properly understood, and let our
Congressman be instructed to see to it
that no advantages whatever be given
st. Louis over Memphis, Vicksburg or
New Orleans. The route should start at
the Mississippi river by sill means. Any
legislation by Congress not making this
a condition Of the law, will be Of no
avail to rebuild the shattered commerce
Of our Southern ports and cities"
