Tramps ana TheIr Wax..

The tramp nuisance has somewhat
abated 10 this city, but yet some chronic
specimens Of the genus tramp can be
seen daily and nightly on the streets,
and later at night applying for lodging
Ut the station.house. Their days are
spent in begging. the proceeds Of which
are generally sufficient to pay for q bed
at some cheap clearinghouse, but drink
claims all their cash, since to them a
glasso whisky or a mug Of beer is meat,
drink a1d lodging. In New York re-
Gently the tramp nuisance became so I'M
bearable that an order was issued to the
police to arrest tramps aud prefer
charges Of vagrancy against them, and
in consequences sudden decrease in the
number Of tramps was d~iscoverable. The
enforcement of the vagrant law against
tramps and professional beggars by our
city authorities would have a like good
effect.

To the Editor OF the Ledger:
The beautiful charity Of the Bethel
has BY the enterprise OF it's
been made to subserve an intellectual
want Of the community. Nothing so
contributes 10 progress in knowledge,
taste and morals for the million. espe.
cially in "the busy centsrs," as lectures
thrown into popular fashion, and bring
ing to the level Of the masses art, litera-
ture, history and science. The writer at
first took but slight interest in the lecture
night Of the Bethel. Latterly, driven BY
ennui to seek some entertainment out
side of the more ostentatious perform
ances of the tAes.er and other places of
resort for pleasure, he was induced to
attend some Of the evenings at this
charity church aud school. 1t is due to
the managers and the gentlemen who,
without compensation, have lectured, to
express the satisfaction derived from the
experiment, and to chronicle the pleas.
ure derived by the audiences that have
been in attendance. Lectures on almost
every theme have either been dehv-
cred or are projected. The last lee
ture | heard vas that Of Captain
j, Harvey Mathes. Subject: THE
Jew, historically, socially, religiously,
and financially" The attendance wss
quite large. The lecturer handled his
topic admirably, For over one hour be
kept up the ~unaagging interest Of his
audience, sketching sirily but accurately
the great historical passages Of this
wonderful people, mingliug shrewd com
ment, philosophical disquisition and DO.
litieal speculation with the resume Of
Jewish life in the past aud the present,
all in the most piquaHt style, giving US
q most instructive and at the same time
a most attractive, intellectual feast. 1t is
to be hoped that Captain Mathes will find
in his great success the other evening en-
couragement to share with other Ameri-
can editors the fame of the lycenm.
The newspaper is perhaps the best
trainer for the popular lecturer.

fhe Future of Memphis.

New York Cotton Record
Memphis evidently is not willing
to remain content with mere medi-
ocrity. Great progress has been
made, as is shown by the statistics
recently compiled by her chamber
of commerce and cotton exchange,
which show her consumption to be
largely on the increase ; but to
achieve greatness, she must do
something else besides consume
she must produce also, be able to
export for the wants of outside
markets as well as to import for
those Of her own; this fact she
appears to be awake to, as during
the past year several new enter
prises have been started within
her borders, among which may
be noted a wooden factory, oil
mill, Touring mills, and u
new soap factory, capable of
producing annually fifty thousand
boxes. The progress, however, is
not to stop here, for it is contem-
plated at an early date to inaugu.
rate another aud probably more
important enterprise than the
above, one that will afford employ
ment to hundreds whose sex shuts
them out from other industries,
and render them at present some
what Improbable members Of the
community. We allude to the pro-
.ject on foot for the erection Of q
cotton factory with a capital of
$500, 900, which is rapidly assum-
ing significant proportions, and
with efficient management will
doubtless prove a great success.
From her position on the great
river and her contiguity to the ',ast
cotton fields Of Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi, she undoubtedly las great
advantages to this mist be added
the u%nriyalled water-power which
exists at her yery threshold, and if
the cities of Georgia can manufac-
t9re cotton satisfactorily and profit
ably, there can be no reason why
Memphis should not do the sans,
nor why she should not become in
due time a great manufacturing
center, shipping her productions to
all points Of the compass.

Saturday next our Irish fellow citizens
will be wearing the green shamrock in
honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint
Of their native land, and who converted
the Irish people from Druidism and
heathenism to christianity. The tradi.
ton With reference to the shamrock is
that the saint could not make the natives
understand the mystery of the Trinity
until STOPPING down he plucked from the
earth a tre.foil or three leaf shamrock,
and there il was, three leaves on one
stem, or three in ono. This is a very
pretty and poetical tradition, and cue
evidently Of Eastern origin.

To-day is the anniversary of the dis.
covery t the planet Uranus, in 1881.
Uranus is the remotest known planet
except Neptune, and was discovered by
Sir William Herschel. Its real distance
from the sun is upward of 1900 millions
of miles. The real diameter Of the
planet must be about $4,000 miles, OF
nearly four and a half times that of the
earth, and it's bulk about eighty times
that of the earth. Uranus presents the
appearance Of a small, round and uni
formly Illuminated disc, without rings
belts, or discernible spots.

lately consumer by fire, may be
said to have mad a historic interest
for all Uonfederates. Its venerable
owner and occupant was the first
man who sigsed the act Of secession
in 1860, and in one of his drawing,

the Confederate government was
performed. AS to the first state
ment, it is well known that the
districts Of South Carolina were
called in their alphabetical order
for signatures to the ac,s of seees-

Thomas @. Perrin is the name

roll. AS to the second statement,
my information was derived some
years ago from Colonel Perrin him.

federacy and his cabinet passed
through Abbeyille together on their
retreat westward from Richmond,
and were entertained (some Of them
at least) at this magnificent private
residence. Here was held the last
meeting of the cabinet, when it
was formally resolved to disband.

consulted with the host as to the
best mode of disposing Of the great
seal, and proposed to destroy it by
fire. Colonel Perrin suggested that
a similar and better mode would be
to commit it to the Savannah river,
which the secretary expected to
cross on the morrow. 1t is believed
that such was the opposition made
of it."

General Sanguiley, OF the Cuban

army was from Is 200 10 1900 strong.
Three dimes thar number could be put
in the field if they had arms aud am
munition with proper artilley and as
sistance. Twenty thousand Americans
could utterly destroy the Spanish army.
The Spanish forces number LAG, 200, Of
whom 1900 are in hospitals. The
Cnbans command the country outside
OF the cities and are determined to
attain liberty at all hazards.
General Crook, now here, has been
requested to investigate the Utah
troubles, Sheridan thinks they are
greatly exaggerated aud no troops re-
quired.
General Ord does not think the raids
have been exaggerated either in num-
her or Importance. The Texas border
is over loo miles long and many
raids are never heard of through the
press. Twenty or thirty persons have
been killed during the last eight

and the passengers say they saw five

by the flashes from their pistols. On
examination of the track il was found
that the fish bars connecting rails
on both sides of the track had been
unjointed and the ends of the rails
moved so that the train would run
down the embankment. There is no
doubt that a diabolical scheme had
been planned to run the whole train
