flowed into the elegant billiard parlors OF

Hard tables, the decorations of the par.

The most liberal praise was rendered to
the proprietors upon their success. Up
to IL o'clock at night the rooms were
crowded 10 excess so much SO that play

found difficult tasks.
The ten pin alleys in the basement
were likewise objects OF interest aud
praise. Everything was found in perfect
order, and this systematic style of doing
business inaugurated by the proprietors
was noticed and commended.
Nine splendid billiard tables, two pool
tables and two tea pin alleys. besides
tables in the basement fer playing check
ers, dominoes or chess, offer all the
attractions necessary for amusement
during the c ming fall aud winter season.

Church ChOirs.

Memphis has several very Gne church
choirs, and quite a rivalry exists in the
religious world to secure the best organist
aud best male and female singers. The
%erganists and singers are paid large
salaries so as TO make the church fash.
ionable and attractive, music having
charms even y soothe the savage breast.
The organisls and singers are either pro.
%fessionals, semi-pro,essionals or anna
teurs, and hardly ever belong to the
church in which they play or sing. A
religious writer in a religious paper, dis.
cussing this subject, makes the following
pointed remarks:
The first thing Asedfal for our cboirs
ls that an utterly devotional spirit should
peryade them. Then banishing personal
vanity from their ranks, banishing
iriyolty, let them apply themselves earn,
estly to study how best to perform the
part assigned to them" AS a mere mat.
ter OF theory this is, without doubt, cor
rect. Singers who lead in an act Of wor.

spirit but if that is made an absolute
requisite, the formation OF a good church

that a man with 9 piCus mind may have
