GOING TO TIE SPRINGS.

bow the people off at the springs
%sympathize with US poor, sweltering
mortals at homel They luxuriate in
choice delicacies and reel;ne on dowsy
beds, and have to pay extra for fires, as
well as the stunted vegetables that adorn
the tables. We are roasted here with
the thermometer at seventy degrees in
the shade. Tenderloin beefsteak actu.
ally costs twelve and a half cents a
pound. Catalogues 60 begging at
Ave cents apiece. Watermelons weigh
ing forty pounds cost twenty-five cents;
apples and pears, as fine as ever grew in
California, are hawked about the streets
at a dollar a bushel. We are not ex-
actly starving here, but we would advise
the thousands Of Memphians away TO be
careful about returning until cool
weather. 1t is so hot here that only one
blanket and a quilt or so is required to
keep comfortable. We envy the people
at the springs paying only fifty dollars
a month per capita, besides extras"
What delightful times they have waiting
for the walters and shivering around the
spring before breakfast Then they
live SO high-several thousand feet
above the level Of the sea; and only
have to dress carefully twice a day.
Their rooms, we know, are mag.
ni6cently furnished with dam ask
curtains, cracked looking-glasses, hot
and cold water--hot at the middle of the
day and cold at night; elaborate water
sets, imperishable, as experience has
proved; gorgeous windows, the sash
propped up with a stick; beds with
spring. mattresses; that is, you spring out
as soon as you spring in; fancy brushes,
combs and perfumery-in your trunk;
beautiful carpets-of grass on the lawn;
polite servants-when you lay down a
dollar; ten-pin alleys, where the green
players pay for. the game and then set
up the drinks. splendid livery stables
with rickety buggies and lame horses,
used to go to the station aud to haul wood,
but let out occasionally at city prices;
table fare equal to that at ordinary eat
ing places on railways, except that the
servants are fresh from the corn-6eld
and are bewildered at the sight Of so
many people wearing Sunday clothes all
the week, and then last, but not least,
the band. This is a splendid combina-
ton, selected from the kitchen and din
ing-roon. There is the big fiddle, two
violins, a wheezy flute and a bass drum.
To the excruciating music from these in.
struments Of torture the young folks and
the fast old mes prance up and down
the big hall, with its uneven floors, un-
approachable wall flowers and CHASTITY
chromos above, until the coal oil
burns low aud midnight warns
tle jewellers to dispense, the rheumatic
and ugly ones to their Procrusteaa beds,
and the youth and beauty to do a little
counting under the trees or in the great
piazzas. 1t is a great thing to 20 to the
springs. They who 90 are envied, and
those who remain are to be pitied. We
cannot fail to observe, however, that the
stay-at-homes have an athletic sort of
look as in training for a trip to the Cen.
tennial next year.

A member of the. last Ohio General
Assembly did this: He bargained for
board at the United States Hotel, at
Columbus, and arranged that he was to
pay fifty cents a meal, and whenever he
was absent from a meal he wal to be
credited that amount. He then hunted
up some cousins in the vicinity, an old
schoolmate, a mar who had once courted
his (the member 81 wife, and several
other relations, and sponged his living

credited him for absence at meals over
that charged for presence at meals. 1t
was a Western Reserve man who did it.

The Plymouth Church People.

FROM buc DulLlinOlo ohlottc.
We think certain great trial will
do less harm to the public morals if
one thing is remembered, a thing very
aptly pointed out by the New York
Times. Those people are almost as
much separated from us as If they
were Choctaw Indians. They talk,
says the Times, jargon of their own.
They use the sacred names as their
grandmothers or aunts-probably
without any settled intention of being
profane, but certainly without the
slightest realization of the associations
which are conveyed to most Chris
tians by those names, In all the
affairs of their lives they sneak in
language which even they would prob
ably call blasphemous if they heard it
from the lips of persons who did not
happen to liye under the shadow of
Plymouth Church. Words do not
seem to convey the same ideas to
them as they do to ordinary human
beings. And it is not difficult to un-
derstand how a confusion of mind so
complete and SO vital has led occasion
ally to confusion of morals. For
whether Mr.. Beecher is guilty or not,
it is quite clear that some of the per-
sons involved in the case have been
guilty of the most fragrant perjury.
And yet, we have no doubt that these
persons, whoever they may be, will
think that if they talk about God a
great deal, and shed tears copiously,
it will be all right with them, now and
hereafter We merely allude to this
aspect of case it is touching pitch to
handle. because we think it of import
ance to public morality that the utter
ly abnormal character of the actors
one and alias professed Christians,
as social factors and as belonging to
the human family, should be fully
understood.

Southern Measures Before the
Caucus.

SLENDER ATrENDANcE--THE JOINT
cAucus BILL UNDER DiscUssIoNs
WAsuINeroN, Feb. N11.-A joint
Republican caucus of tile two Houses
was called for this evening, but up to
the time of adjournment after a three
hours session, not a single Senatorihad
presented himself, and the slender at
tendance of members showed the want
of interest on the Southern question,
which the caucus was called to con-
slider. There were no less than 90
members present. The joint caucus
bill was the only matter considered,
and OH this the debate was general.
The discussion indicated that even II
majority of those present were OPP
posed to 1t. Mr.. j. Amber Smith of
Virginia moved to strike ont the third
sc ction, SO as to place the. Northern
States on the same footing US the
Southern. On this he made u speech
against the whole bill as unnecessary
and il-advised. Messrs. Dawes, Cobb,
Williams of Michigan, and others,
also made speeches holding that the
bill was doubtful as to constitution
ality, and was at this time inoppor.
tune. Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio was its
principal advocate. His speech was
very radical, and to most of the mem
bers present was probably distasteful.
He thought the bill was within the
Constitution, and that Congress had a
right to pass anything for the protec-
tion of any class of the people of the
country. Mr.. Hawley of Connecticut
made very striking and liberal
speech. He thought the bill, besides
being measure of doubtful wisdom
| was useless and mischievous. He also
thought it unconstitutional. Some
sharp words were exchanged between
Mr.. Lawrence ON the one side and
Messrs. Dawes, Cobb and others on
the other side. No decision whatever
was reached, and an adjournment I'M
til Tomorrow night was carried with
out opposition.
