estimate the ability of a newspaper
and the talent of it's editor by the
quantity Of original matter. It is com.
paratiyely an easy task for a frothy
writer to pour out daily a column OF
words words upon any and all sub
.jccts. His ideas may flow in one weak,
washy, everlasting, flood. and, the Gom-
mand Of his language may enable him
to string them together like punches
Of onions, and yet his, paper may be a

mere writing part Of editing q paper
is but small portion Of the work.
The care, the time employed in selects

tact of a good. editor is better shown

and that we know is half the battle.

Amusements.

MEMPHIS THEATER .-Enoch Arden was
the attraction at the theater last evening,
with Edwin Adams in the title role. The
play was carefully and appropriately
"set" by the management, a fact which
was duly appreciated by the audience.
Of Mr.. Adams rendition Of the role of
"Enoch Arden" it can be said that il
was pleasing, highly dramatic, liie.like
aud excellent. The dramatic history of
the poor mariner, cast away on a desert
island for twelve years, is a very affect
ing one, which becomes painful as the
last scene develops, where Enoch Arden,
after seeing his lost wife happily a
ried to Philip Ray and enjoying the com
forts Of his home, steals away to lay
down aud die. Miss May Arlington, as
Annie Lee" attracted no little atten-
ton. Her voice was clear, her intona.
ton excellent and her acting as smooth
aud graceful as her face was handsome
and attractive. There we're really but
few parts in the piece that we're not ad-
mirably sustained, and no fault could be
found with any. Tonight Mr.. Adams
will appear as " Hamlet, Prince of Den
mark"
COLONEL SELLERS CoMING.-Mr.
John 7. Raymond, the famous come
dian, will appear at the Memphis Thea
ter on Monday next as Colonel Mul.
berry Sellers" in Mark Twain's Ameri.
can drama Of the Gilded Age. The
piece had a run Of one hundred and Fifty
nights in New York city to crowded
houses, and has met with the same sue
cess wherever. Mr.. Raymond has ap.
peared. Eighteen months ago John I.
was not worth a cent, and now his bank
account runs over 500, 900, conse-
quently he may safely say, There's
millions in it"
You've Jos. Books The popular
little manager of our theater proposes to
take a benefit soon, on which occasion
he will act Stephen Plum " in All that
Glitters. No doubt the theater will be
crowded with a "glittcring'' audience, all
on the qri viVe to see what kind Of a
"plum" our little friend will make.

Gelnnr . Pntent IN Enrlnna.


To procure a patent at Washington is
quite an easy matter, but to procure one
in England is not only difficult hut ex-
pensive. Our reporter wsa shown a
patent issued in September last in the
name of Victoria, by the grace Of God,
to James bartholomew Cock and James
Wilson Heath, Of this city, for the fol-
lowing invention: Improvements in
the construction of prisoas and other
buildings, and q alarm attachments to
be employed in connection therewith,"
with authority and protection to intro
dSce the same into the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the Chan
mel Islands and the Isle Of Man. The
patent is Of parchment, and the grants
and conditions are elegantly litho-
praphed thereon. Attached to the
parchment is the great seal of England,
which seal is quite a curiosity, and was
probably new seer before by any ia
habitant of Memphis. 1t is made Of
wax, about eight inches in diameter, n
inch thick and weighs about two pounds.
On n side, in relief, is an equestrian
cast Of the Queen bearing the staff Of
office, her steed being held by an eQuerry
on foot, with hat in hand. Around the
cast on the margin are the words, in re.
lief; "Regina-Fi dei,D efensor- Victoria
Del. Gratia. Britanniarum." On the re-
verse side is a cast Of the Queen sitting
in state upon a throne, with one Of the
MUSES. on each side. The patent is a
curious affair, and is similar to those
issued by the English government from
time almost immemorial. Messrs. Cook
4 Heath intend introducing their patent
jails into England, France aud Germany.
The cost Of obtaining such a patent in
England is about $500 in gold.

A mysterious accident has occurred at
Lyons, France. 1t seems that two bakers
named Jules and Waller kept a bakery
and worked in turns, but Jules, on com

Waller had got on in the night, was sur.
prised TO find neither baker nor bread IN
the bake-houss. He called out for his

vain. Suddenly he smelt a disagreeable
odor that prevailed in the bakery, and
the horrid suspicion flashed on bis mind,
and rushing TO the oven be opened the

his poor companion. How he came

ANOTHER INELIGIBLE ELECTOR.

AN UNPAEDONED REBEL ALLEGED TO HAVE
BEEN ELECTED IN MISSOURI
sT. LOUIS, Nov. u, 1876.
Considerable comment has been INDUCED in here,
growing OF tho fact that General D. n. Frost.
Of the democratic Presidential Electors Of this State,
has been pronounced ineligible. General Frost Is a
graduate OF West Point He served in tho army SOW
era years and in command Of the State militia AZ
Camp Jackson, In this city, when Il was captured BY
Major Lyon. in May, 1901, and subsequently served IN
the Confederate army. He claims to havc pardon
from President Andrew Johnson, and that therefore
his disabilities have been removed. rho republicans,
however, assert Johnsons pardon stands for nought
against tho constitutional amendments tho subject
of disabilities and that he cannot act legally as an
elcctor
