The Avalanche states that Chelsea
~hose-carriage Captain Pal Doyle, who
was n of the Mayors appliances and
pets, visited the City Hall yesterday and
attempted to present the little convert
with a head. Should Doyle do so, we
hope he will present him with a financial
head, one less full Of tricks and schemes
than the one now adjoining the claimant
for the second term of Office.
Senators Haynes and 0verton opposed
the motion to reconsider the bill abolish
ing the Chancery and Circuit Courts Of
Shelby county. The cigar.box men,
after having disguised the opponents Of
Andrew Johnson, are now being con-
demned by many Of those who swore
that their course in the johnson matter
was all right. 1t makes a difference
sometimes as to whose OK is gored.
A telegram from Nashville states that
yesterday morning the grave and rev.
erend Senators and the wise looking
Legislators of the Lower House ap.
peared at the Capitol, looking as if they
had not attedned the exhibition of the
can-can dancers, given the night before.
1t was noticed hat the Legislators all

near sighted. Wicked Nashville
The portrait Of the Hon. Jefferson
Davis has been added to the gallery in
the office Of the War Department at
Washington under the law of Congress
authorizing the collection of the portraits
of all who have filled the position of
Secretary since the organization Of the
Government. The likeness is said to be
a very excellent n by those who have
seen it and are we'll acquainted with the
original.
If the Lords Prayer be used in the
public schools, shall we say, as some do,
forgive US our trespasses as we forgive
those who have trespassed against us"
or, as others do, forgive us our sins as
we forgive those who have sinned against
US" or, as still others do, forgive us
our debts as we forgive our debtors9"
And shall we say, as some do and others
do not, for Thine is the kingdom and
the power and the glory2" etc. Let us
have an official version.
1t will soon be time for the Appeal to
publish a double loaded editorial advo-
eating the re. election of John League as
Mayor Of Memphis for the second term.
That remarkable interview was intended
as a %feeler; but John could not get FIVE
hundred votes in the entire city Of Mem
phis-so he will have to step down and
out in January next unless the new city
charter passes the Legislature, as this
document gives a six months longer
lease Of life to the City Hall gang.
The following paragraph is going the
rounds Of the press; "a Memphis
fortune teller told a man that a fortune
Of $4,000 was coming to him next
week, and he shelled out fifty dollars to
his wife to buy q new suit. When too
late be learned that his wife had fixed
the thing with the old woman" 1t is
needless to say that the story is apocry-
phal, as no Memphis husband could be
taken in so easily; and then, no Mem.
phis woman could purchase a new suit
for the amount stated, aud If she could,
she would not wear it on Main street or
to church.
