Impor,ant Ordinance.

Chief of Police Athy has mailed the
following ordinance to those interested,
aud gives the information that the time
limited until the rigid enforcement Of
the ordinance is until the LIST Of October.
The necessity for passing this ordinance
has had several unfortunate illustrations
throughout the United States during the
present year, and especially in a church
East, where an alarm Of FIRE during d.
vine service caused the death of q large
number of people. The ordinance is as
follows:
An Ordinance to Regulate the Hanging OF
Doors in all Churches, Theaters, Public
Halls. School Houses, and places Of Amuse-
ment.
Section | Be it ordained by the Gene
raj Council Of the city of Memphis, That
all churches, theaters, public halls,
school houses, and places of amusement,
be and they are hereby required to have
their doors swung on double hinges, so
that they will open on and out, so as to
prevent disasters in case of fires.
Sec. 2. Any violation Of this ordi.
nance, or refusal to comply Herewith,
shall be a misdemeanor, and the owner,
proprietor or agent of such building shall
be fined $50 for each o%ffeuse.
Passed second and fusl reading BY
Council and Aldermen, July IA, 1875.

Fruit I'm CexIon.

A Ceylon correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript writes:
All vegetable life seem to flourish here
most luxuriantly. The cocoa palm we
see everywhere along the coast, and it,
with the bresd-fruit tree, the yak tree,
the banyan and, nov and then, a leak or
q cottonwood tree, make up q great part
of the woody growth. / forgot to add
the areca palm, from which the betel-nut
is obtained. This is a little smaller than
the cocoa palm, but nearly as high and
always perfectly straight. The nuts
grow in large lunches and are about the
size of a lemon before the outside skin
is taken off. The bread fruit is about
the size Of two fists. 1t has a green,
rough skin and, when cooked, tastes like
a sweet potato, but not 80 sweet. The
mango is about the size an orange, has
a green, thick skin, and a large stone in
the center. The flowers are very beauti
full and in great variety. The cocoanuI
tree seems to be even more useful ia
these people than the bamboo is to the
Japanese. The nut is used for food and
drink, the shells for dishes. The outside
envelope is put into water and rotied
then dried, pounded and the strong fiber
woven into ropes and mating The
meat is pressed for the oil. The leaves
OF the tree are used for roofs, fences and
TO make rough baskets. The sap affords
today and sugar. The wood also serves
good purposes. The palm-leaf is used
to protect the %cocoanuts from thieves.
1t is held vertically against sthe trunk
and the ends of the leaflets are tied TO-
gether on the other side of the trunk,
This is done before the nuts are. ripe.
1t afterward becomes dry, and if anyone
attempts to climb the tree be cannot
avoid rafting the crisp leaf, which warns
the owner. The banana is twelve or
fifteen feet high. 1t bears one bunch
and is then. replaced by a new shoot,
Sometimes a stone is seen hanging from
the end Of a bunch of bananas, which is
said to draw the sap into them anC
make them develop more fully. The
pineapples are not as good as those VIZ
had at Singapore, as they grow wild"

Albert Rhodes says, in his interesting
book about the French at Home, that
the French women's face is as handsome
as that of any other in Europe, and
fades more slowly. At forty she glides
into an embonpoint with an unwrinkled
face and a good complexion-at the age
when the English woman becomes heavy
necked and frowsy, and the American
pale and wrinkled. The climate has
something to do with this, but doubtless
her nourishing food, generous wine, and
out.of-door air, much more. Her mode
Of living contributes thereto-the exer
else and development Of each function
in a more natural manner than with us.
There are ascetic ideas in America
which have a tendency to retard the
physical development of a woman for
mind moulds matter. There is a preya-
lent notion that it is beneath the dignity
Of men and women to occupy themselves
with what they shall eat and what they
shall drink. The American has more
intellect thar her French sister, but the
latter has softness where she has pert
ness. There is nervous excitability and
cleverness in one, mellowness and equal
ity of character in the other. The forced,
brilliant vitality OF woman in America is
subject to FITS of reaction, for nature
has its limit. In the French the
mind is more ever and cheerful, and in
the absence of exhaustive and irregular
demands made upon it the uniform
health is better.

An AerolIth from Tennessee.

From Galignani's (Paris) Messenger
we extract the following:
At last weeks sitting of the Academy
Of Sciences a paper was received from
Professor Lawrence Smith on a mass of
meteoric iron found in Dickson county.
Tenn. It is curious in more than one
respect. The author says that all the
metallic particles existing in the interior
of an aerolith are complete miniatures
Of the large masses Of meteoric iron dis
covered in various parts of the world,
but that they have not been seer to fall,
and must have come down long before
they we're observed. Stony meteorites.
with small particles of iron in their
mass, fall pretty often, while metallic
Jumps free from earthly matter are so
rare that there are only four authentic
ones on record, viz; one at Agram Zero
atia), May, l75l; at Braunau (Bohemia),
July, l847; at Victoria (Africa), 1862;
and lastly, hat fallen on the lst of Au-
gust, 1885, near Charlotte, Dickson
county, Tenn, in latitude sc deg Is min,
west longitude 81 deg. 20 min. from
Paris, which is the one here treated
of. Professor Troost, of Nashville,
had published q short description
Of it; but, having died shortly afterward,
his collections we're packed up in boxes
by his executors; and it was only lately
Mr.. l.. Smith could examine them. A
small portion of the m~eteorite having
been cut off and kept, it was easy to re-
store it to its previous form, and to send
a complete model of it to the Academy.
This mass fell in the daytime on a field
where several people were at work; it
frightened a horse that bolted; the sky
was %cloudless, and a nois, preceded by a
vivid light, was heard. The meteorite
has the shape of a bean; it was almost
polished on several parts Of its surface,
and has never rusted since, though ex.
posed to atmospherical action. To the
naked eye it has the appearance of soft
iron; but under the magnifyiDg glass it
is reticulated, the lines being formed by
sharp lamipe, separated from each other
by halffused matter resembling scorie.
By means of heat or an acid, Widman-
sietten's figures of peculiar beauty are
produced. By analysis its composition
is found to be: Iron, 81 per cent (;
nickel, 8 per cent cobalt and copper, |.
No trace of sulphur, and very little phos-
phorus. Mr.. l., Smith thinks this me-
teorite was not heated in passing through
the atmosphere, and, from analogy, he
concludes that the lump OF iron found at
Ovifack, Greenland, is not meteoric, bu;
terrestrial.

A midnirhtserenade.

The poet has said that music soothes
the savage breast" and even tradition
has it that 0rpheus with his Tyre in old
Grecian days charmed the beasts Of the
field; but at IL o'clock last night a party
Of vocalists, with fiddle, harp and flute
accompaniment, furnished by wander
ing S~svoyards, assembled in a room in
Cutoff" alley, back of the LEDGER
Office, and performed a series Of musical
acrobatic feats that succeeded in charm
ing our musical reporter. The instru-
mental music was professional and pas
sable, but the vocal business deserves a
passing mention. The bass singer was
somewhat husky and occasionally got
out Of time, while the tenor abandoned
time and beat the instruments by at least
FIVE bars on every stretch. The baritone
skirmished heavily and often dropped out
to rest or to take a drink when no rest"
appeared in the music, while the man who
attempted to carry out the soprano part
signally failed, but would have succeeded
better had he worn a pull-back dress,
There was a trembling in the head notes
and a want of harmony in the chest
notes that Jared upon the cultivated ear
Of our musical commissioner, who, like
the enraged musician in Hogarth's cele-
brated picture, clapped his hands to his
ears to keep out the horrible sounds.
We regret having to pronounce censure,
as we ~recollect the lines of Shakespeare:
THE man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with a concord Of sweet
sounds,
Is fit for treason. straiagems and spoils;
Let no such man be trusted" etc.
1t would be unfortunate if our must
cal man was to be held to the re-
sponsibility suggested in the last line
OF the above stanza, as in dull times
the credit system is most opportune.
The music last night recalled to our
commissioner the line, Nero fddled
while Rome was burning" which is an
a~nacronism, as fddles were not at that
time invented, at least Edmund Waller,
an English poet Of the period-l6O5-l687
and who was regarded as a great light
in English literature, so says. Waller
studied at Elton and Cambridge, and was
q member of the Long Parliament, and
at first an sdherent Of the glorious pa
triot Hampden. He went over to the
royalists and was banished, but return
ing to England in 1853, became the po-
etic satellite Of Oliver Cromwell, whose
praises he sang in verse; but when
Charles II was restored he composed a
fulsome poem on the kings happy
return. He was n of the pop
ulAr poets of the age Of the
Restorative, but according to Caruthers
there are not two hundred really good
lines in Walters poetry" But to return
from a literary chase after Walters fame
to Nero's, he contradicts the Gddling
concert al follows:
" Music SO softens and disarms the mind,
That not an arrow does resistance find;
So Nero once with harp in hand surveyed
His flaming Rome, and as it burned he
played"
