Special Correspondence o? The Tribune
NEW YonK, July 19.-Rushing away from
Chicago, my own beloved city, on an express "
train, fiad myself in the commercial capital OF
tho United States and Jersey, and pause for
few days' rest and sightseeing before going to
Europe. Broadway looks about as gay and
bustling as ever, though all the society people
that can raise any money have gone of to the
brandy-and-watering places, leaving the Jews
aud money-grubbcrs who can't get in at
Saratoga to take care OF New York.
As they hare had great deal OF rain here this
summer, and not much hot weather until the
last week, things about the streets In the way oil
trees and other grcencry look fresh and at-
tractiyc. The squares, Washington, Madison,
Union, aud even the Battery, have fresh YER
dant look I scarcely expected to see after the
fuss the papers have been making about the ex-
cessire hcat. The New York journals arc
nothing If not in extremes. though stranger
arriving here expects to find the streets ankle
deep in mud aud fltll,-espccially If lc is a
reader OF the Herald, but, though they might
be cleaner, they look quite creditablc indeed.
The first things usually inquired into by . new
arrival are
TIE PLACES or AMUSEMENT.
These find at present decidedly limited. The
daily papers only advertise some llalf-dozcn in
lieu Of twenty-four or i've OF the winter AL
the regulars OF the leading play-touscs have
gone of for the summer. Leading actors and
actresses arc making altogether thu much money
these days. They put on all tile airs now OF
society aristocrats, and just when VIC, the peo-
pie, como to the city to be amused, 10! there is
nothing to be seen but lot OF provincial stroll
crs who have taken the city theatres to try cx-
periments on the public. Some one must be
thrown to the lious, as they used to do il. the
good old times Of Roman holidays. All, we'll,

are nice aud cool, the garden very beautiful and

RIao Range Purchased.

Mr.. Henry Hack, representing the
Memphis Schuetzen Verein or German
Rifle Club, yesterday purchased a rifle
range in Fort Pickering The property
is on the Trigg place and extends from
Division street to Trigg avenue. Four
teen acres OF ground we're purchased-
eight acres at $500 per acre aud six
acres at $50 per acre. The total cost of
the grounds was s27OO. 1t will give the
enterprising club a range of over six
hundred yards. 1t is the intention of
the club to fence the range in, plant
trees, erect suitable buildings, etc, as
soon as possible. The German Rife
Club a congratulate itself upon its en-
terprising spirit.

FINE FARMER.
what may BE Accomplished By
Thorough Cultivation.

Colonel d. G. Slaughter, formerly of
Upton county and a representative of
that county in the legislature, but for two
or three years past g citizen Of this
county, is a thorough farmer and follows
the noble calling because be loves it and
can make it profitable. His farm is six
miles east of Memphis. He cultivated
this year twelve acres OF laad in corn
with his own hands. The land has been
cleared ove fifty years, and is quite
thin. he used no manure, but plowed
the ground deep twice, and then planted
the rows vide apart and plowed the corn
three times, using a cultivator. The re-
suit is a crop of over fifty bushelso of fine.
white corn to the acre. He placed
about half a dozen ears on our
table this morning. The cob is
small and red, the grain full, white, COM
pact and solid. The ears average about
eleven inches in length, and we're not
selected with particular care from the
crops. This shows what a be done by
deep blowing and proper cultivation.
In all cases the land should be thor
Oughly prepared before planting, aud
then the crop worked promptly. Der
farmers have made great progress in the
last few years, and we hope the time is
not far distant when Southern farmers
will be fully up to the best methods
known in the Northern and Eastern
States and in Europe, We have the
soil and the climate to excel the world,
and all that is wanting is muscle and
skill in the great art Of farming.

to 60 on his evil way, his employer not
wishing to bring him back and prosecute
him.
At the Arbitration Court today the
case Of Baldwin vs.. Stockley was heard
and taken under advisement BY the
court. The persmptory call of the
docket will commence on Monday next.
This week cases agreed upon by attor-
neys are being heard, etc.
The crier of the Arbitration Court
which met yesterday in this city wa I'M
derstood by several who heard him to
say, "0h, yesl Oh, yesl the honorable
Arbitrary Court is now about to open"
If the crier misrepresents the court be
ought to be instructed a while in the high
school.
This forenoon Wilson Waters (negro),
who was arrested and committed by
Esquire Winters yesterday on the
charge of stealing a saddle, was placed
on trial on the charge of stealing a horse,
the property Of J. A. Richards, of Moon
Lake, Miss. Esquire Winters bound
Waters over, to appear before the Crimi.
nal Court, in the sum of $4,000.
The Wait Woodbridge difficulty and
tragedy wal the subject of general com.
ment aud discussion throughout the city
yesterday and last night. The police
are generally censured for not arresting
Mr.. Wait at Estival Park and removing
him from the grounds, it being evident
that he would soone or later get into a
personal difficulty. Had this been done
we would not now have had to record a
most unfortunate and deplorable result.
The i%neficiency of the police, as dis.
played in not arresting Mr.. Woodbridge
Immediately after the shooting, is also q
subject Of most unfavorable comment.

Amnssments

MIEsTRELs Last night the Memphis
Theater was opened for the season by
the management, on which occasion
Kelly & Icons celebrated minstrels ap.
peared before a large and enthusiastic
audience. The theater has been much
improved in appearance; the walls have
been frescoed, the halls, etc, have been
cerpeted, and on the walls around the
dress circle pictures of Eoted theatrical
people have been hung. The new drop
curtain, painted by Harry j. BUTLER, q
talented young artist, was much ad.
mired. The performance of Kelly &
Icons minstrels was very good indeed.
Each performer is an artist in his line.
At the head of the troupe is, of course,
the only Leon, who has earned a fame as
a female impersonator almost as wide as
the world. His presence in a bill is
alone an attraction far beyond anything
any other minstrel company can offer.
His makeups are models of Worth's
fashionable architecture and his style is
killing. Were he to make his appearance
in a Saratoga ball room as he does before
the footlights, there would be a sensation
among the bellies aud oeaux. Leon is in
the possession of a fue f%alsetto voice,
which be uses to splendid advantage,
and a fund of sparkling wit, which he
lavishes on his audience till their sides
ache. In the burlesque opera, which is
always a part of Kelly & Icons pro
gramme, he is positively peerless, His
action is a study Of the lyric art. Then
comes Kelly, one Of the best bufo actors
who struts the boards; Billy COPYRIGHT,
the great stump orator; Japanese Tom
my, the funny nondescript; Tierney and
Cronin, the celebrated jig dancers, and
a host of others, all of whom lay claim
to notoriety in their several lines. The
singing and instrumental music by the
company are excellent aud artistic. The
audience earnestly applauded the per-
formauce. The minstrels vii. appear
again to night, aud on each night during
the week, making their last appearance
at the Saturday matinee. The pro-
gramme will be changed nightly,
