MEMPHIS THEATER. Tomorrow night
the dramatic corps Of the Chickasaw
Guards, assisted by several Of their lady
friends, will appear in the Romance Of
a Poor Young Man at the theater, and
will repeat the performance at the matt
e Saturday. Mons Octave Fuellet, the
brilliant French ~literateur, member of
the French Academy and officer Of the
Legion Of Honor, is the original author
Of the drama, lie Roman dun Jeune
Homne Pauvre." He has written mum
bers Of brilliant novels, proverbs, poems
and plays. Among the best known of
his plays are lie Roman dun
Jeune Homme Psuvre," LA Tenta.
ton" and lie Sphinx" The first
mentioned appeared as a successful
novel, and afterWard dramatized by him.
1t is a stock piece throughout this coun-
try. and forms part of Signor Salvini's
repertoire. In many respects it is a weak
play, but it has many strong dramatic
situations. La Tentation is the original
Of Led Astray, which has been produced
in this city often, but the Led Astray Of
Mr.. Boucicault differs widely from Fuel
let's play, and is by far its superior in
every respect Mr.. Boucieault having
translated aud adapted the original in a
very clever manner, well knowing that
the original would not be tolerated by
American audiences.

see by to-day's paper that General Grant
has been given the freedom of the city of Lon
is meant by this giving the freed ON of the
city to persons, and oblige, READER.
This is matter that is just now attracting
considerable attention, and as all the people
will want to know how the American ex-
sovereign stands in England, we subjoin the
following from the New York Herald:
The presentation of the freedom of the city
of London is always an event of importance.
General Grant, who yesterday received this
honor, will find himself in distinguished COM
heroes and the proudest monarchs have been
reckoned among the "freemen." George I'LL,
who always expressed supreme contempt
acknowledge that the city of London
could bestow a franchise more valua-
bile than all the knighthoods and baubles
whose works Will ever be regarded as the gems
of history-statesmen scientists, lawyers, mer-
grand old book, which is priced by the corpo-
ration of London more than all the privileges
and immunities granted by the government.
George Peabody, the noble and benevolent
American merchant,wh name rs ever utter
ed by the poor of the English metropolis with
affectionate reverence, was made freeman.
General Garibaldi the liberator of Italy and
the father of Italian unity, received the same
privilege. The shah of Persia, the sultan Of
Turkey, the czar of Russia, Prince Leopold
Belgium, Napoleon Ill, General Blucher and
NJ. Theirs were also presented with the rights,
privileges and lmmunltles OF thS dWeLerS
within rye Bishopsgate" and Temple Bar.
WHAT THE "FREEDoM" CONSISTS In.
It has often been asked, What rs the freedom
of the city of London? 1t is simply this:
A small slip of parchment, inscribed with the
name and titles of the person to whom IL is to
be presented, guarantees TO the holder ana his
children after him forever the right t0ltve
and trade within the city prescribed by st.
Clements in the west, Blshopsgate In the east,
Pentonville the north and the sheres
of the Thames on the south, without
having to pay tax on the goods as they
are Drought through the gates. IL exempts
them from naval and military service and tolls
and duties throughout the united kingdom.
1t insures to his children the care of the cham
berlain, who, i'm case they are left orphans,
takes charge of their property and administers
IL in their interest until they arrive at years OF
maturity. The parchment bears the seal and
signature OF the lord mayor and chamberlain,
and Is generally ornamented with ribbon and
illuminated. II is always enclosed in long.
thin gold box, and Is intended, of course, as AN
heirloom. ref

MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.
A Lawrenceburg Lad Blows an OLD
Mans Brains Out.

LAwRENcEBURG, June 14-The citizens of
this place were startled last night upon
hearing the sound OF gun shot, and to learn
man had been shot down like dog by a
young negro Lad of about is years of age.
Upon further inquiry the follow
ing facts were ascertained: A young
colored man by the name OF Monroe
Terrell lived next door neighbor TO an old
gentleman by the name of Green Edwards,
who besides his weakness from old age, has
a manned arm, which was useless 70 him.
Terrell had worthless cur, which continued
to disturb the old gentleman's slumbers by
its continual barking. Last night the old
gentleman went out and threw at the dog,
whereupon young Terrell procured his shot
gun, followed Edwards TO his door and blew
his brains out Terrell was arrested, and is
now lying in jail.

BUDDING FRUIT TREES.

There are two well-established meth
ods now in very general use among
experts in fruit-culture, for changing
or multiplying varieties Of the same
class on the same tree, and both OF
these are simple and inexpensive, The
first Of these is known Us grazing, and
is only practiced on larger trees, and
always in the spring before the foliage
is developed. The other method, which
is much more rapid, and quite as sure
when properly done, is budding, and
the time for doing this extends from
the middle Of July until the first Of
September. Whenever the bark sep
arates easily from the wood, the buds
may be set, with fair chances Of sue
cess. The outfit for budding consists
of some narrow strips Of bass mating,
such as comes on the inside of coffee
bags, and a pocket knife with a single
blade, with small piece Of ivory fas-
tened in the handle. When the incis-
ion is made the ivory is used to raise
the bark up on either side, so that the
bud may be pressed into place. The
buds to be inserted should be cut from
young, healthy trees, and always Of
the present years growth, those that
are not matured being selected. The
leaves may then be clipped of, the
branch Of buds, leaving say half an
inch Of the leaf stalk attached to the
bud. Then with a keen-edged knife
cut off each bud separately from hall
to three-quarters Of an inch in length,
leaving thin slice of wood back o1
the eye or bud. These should be kept
moist and protected from the sun OIL
air until set exposure even for short
time may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part o.
it is to be budded over, select the spot
for each bud in a smooth part of the
branch, not too large, say from one tc
two inches in diameter. On this part
make an incision through the bark il
the form of the capital letter T, anc
raise or separate the bark from the
wood with the ivory on the handle o.
the knife. The bud may then be pres
sed into place, cutting off square the
portion that goes above the cross in
cision. Then with a strip of the bass
mating wrap firmly around the branch
above and below the eye, fastening
the end of the strip by slip knot
This completes the operation, which
can be successfully done even by
novice in less time than it takes tC

summer Holiday Scribner."

CHEWING BONES, LEATHER, ETc.

This implies some impairment OF
digestion and may rise from a variety
Of causes. Pregnant COWS and those
milking heavily are liable 10 this by yrea-
son Of the intimate nervous system
and close contiguity Of the reproduc-
tive and digestive organs. This can
not we'll be prevented, yet something
may be done by seeing that the feed
is abundant, varied, equal to the de-
mands for nutrition for mother and
fptus, and to the supply of materials
for the secretion of milk. But many
other conditions will develop or keep
up the tendency, The deposition of
tubercle in the mesentery, or in the
chest around the gullet, is another oc-
casional cause and one that may be
considered past remedy. Such cases
will usually be accompanied by a
cough, discharge from the nose, or
diarrhpa, together with a gradual fall
ING Off in condition. In & third class it
arises from faults in feeding, from
fibrous, innutritious and indigestible
food which develops impactions of the
stomachs, and chronic catarrh of the
fourth stomach, with thickening of its
mucous membrane, or from a supply
of food which is deficient in nutritious
elements, and especially in phosphates.
These conditions must be obviated
by giving fair supply of nutritious
and easily digested food, substituting
the grass Of poor sandy soils by grain,
linseed-cake, rafe-cake, cotton-cake,
and the like, grown on better land, and
by course of tonica to improve the
digestion. Sulphate Of iron l o.,
powdered cascarilla 1 or, powdered
ginger OF. mix, divide into four
powders: give one daily in the food.
Salt should be supplied daily, and
good water should be secured. If
really caused by the poor quality of
the soil, it will sometimes pay to make
q liberal use Of dissolved bones as
manure. There still remains all those
causes in which the chewing Of bones,
leather and other objects, results very
largely from habit and mere wanton-
ness, and hence the Importance of re-
moving all such tempting objects
from the pastures, and thus prevent
ing their misappropriation by the ami
mails. In subjects that have already
swallowed bones, leather or other in
digestible substances, or in the stom-
achs of which hair balls have formed,
dangering the digestion, and main
tanning morbid craving, there are
only two courses open: the one to cut
into the stomach, remove the foreign
body, and carefully sew up the wound ;
the other to fatten the animal by care
