To-day is the festival Of st. Michael
the Archangel, afeast observed by many
Christian people. St. Michael it was
who waged war with old Satan IN heaven,
an account Of which appears in the Old
and New Testament and in Millions
Paradise Lost. Even Byron, in his
Vision of Judgment" gives an account
OF an interview between these two dis.
tinguished celestials over the propriety
Of admitting the soul Of George III into
heaven. Byron says as to this inter-
view, after referring to the cid fight and
the defeat Of Satan:
And still between his Darkness and his
Brightness us

One Hundred nollnrs Rewnrd


Captain John Il. Lewis, the b%enefactor
Of the newsboys of Memphis, left to-day
for Cincinnati, being recalled on urgent
business. He has hundreds Of friends
here, who will welcome his return at any
time. Captain Lewis has lived here for
years, and by his upright course as o
merchant and public.spirited citizen
has won hosts OF friends. He can say to
the people Of Ohio that the boys who
wore the gray know a gentleman by in
stlnct, and that the color he wore during
the war does not determine the lines of
social recognition in the cosmopolitan
city of Memphis. We regret that Capt.
Lewis cannot remain to see his suit de-
cided, and can assure him that he has
the sympathy and good wishes Of the
public.

We may add, from late information,
that the Philadelphia detectives firmly

how much their judgment is worth in the
