The Memphis Law journal No. Z,
from July to December, 1879, inclu-
sive, has made its appearance. AS
usual, it is well printed on good paper
and makes a neat appearance. The
bulk and variety of this number am

by the yellow fever. The contents Of
this number will be found unusually
attractive, the cases reported being
the newest expressions from the SUI
preme courts Of Mississippi and Ten
nessee, and embracing all the work Of
the latter court at the recent Knox
vile term.

More Wind and Water.

The wharfmaster and his friends
interpret a paragraph in yesterdays
LEDGER, at the end of Mr.. Kallaher's
card as conveying the idea that he
had misstated the facts. Such was
not the intention. The reporter de-
sired to convey the idea that his
information regarding the matter upon
which the first article in the LEDGER
was written, was derived from Mr..
Kallaher the officers Of the Gaf, and
from a personal investigation of the
situation, and from no other source ;
also that the conclusions were not in
correct from the reporter standpoint.
The wharfmaster and his friends think
they were the reporter that they
were not-merely a difference of opin-
ion, nothing more. The wharfmaster
may be right in the estimation of
many, and especially himself and
friends. The privilege of thinking
him wrong is all that is claimed by the
reporter,

second appearance last night at Leu
bries theater, presenting Lady Clan
carty, a play b. The we'll known dra.
matte writer, Tom Taylor, founded
upon supposed events in English his
tory during the reign of William and
Mary. Miss Ada Cavendish carried
the part Of Lady Clancarty with
excellent effect. There appears to
be q magnetism about the talented
LADY which enchains the attention and
enlists the sympathy of her auditors.
She was repeatedly applauded during
the evening, and she increased the in
terest aroused on the occasion of her
first appearance. Miss Adelaide Cherie
Fenlon also performed attractively,
while Mr.. Percy rendered the part Of
Lord Clancarty in a manly and digni-
fed way. The play was well received
by an appreciative, though not large
audience. 1t will be repeated this
evening and at the matinee to-
morrow.

THE QUESTION OF PURE WATER SOLVED
RIOnkeying a Monkey.

In the Museum now exhibiting down
Main street, under the management Of
Mr.. George W. Hall, is a pet monkey,
viciously disposed towards all except
his keeper. The latter has always had
him under perfect control, and he has
never until yesterday shown anything
but lamb-like submissiveness toward
him. For some time past the monkeys
teeth had been troublesome to him.
They needed repairing, and a dental
surgeon, sometimes called a tooth EAR
penter, was engaged to do the job.
The animal was placed. in position for
the operation when the dentist arrived
yesterday. He stood it very we'll for
a while, but getting it into his head
that his tusks were about
to be drawn, he few of of the handle
like, and tore around at a lively rate,
catching the keepers hand in his
claws and decorating the flesh by tear
ing 1t to the bone. The russell lasted
a considerable length of time and
ended with the monkeys teeth being
knocked out, broke square off, where
they enter she jaw, and leaving the
roots in their sockets. 1t was all that
could be done towards extracting the
offensive weapons, The keeper has
his hand banaaged, and the monkey is
likely TO have the tOothacho for the
rest of his natural career, but he can't
bite any more to hurt.

1t is a pity that the names of all the
persons who each month draw all the
prizes in the monthly scheme of the Lou
isiana State Lottery Company cannot be
published, for then it could be seen exact
ly where every dollar goes to. This could
be done but for the reason that some win
ners object to having their names made
known, and it is a rule of the company
not to diyulge these without permission.

DetalIs or the Disaster.

New YoRK, December ga Lon
don special to the Telegram says the
tidings Of the disaster were first con-
yeyed by a gentleman who had left his
house with a friend. While the
southwest gale was blowing with all
its fury, they began discussing wheth-
or Oh such a night the Edinburgh
train would venture across the bridge.
They then went to Block telegraph
signal box, situated at the north end
Of the bridge, where they found a
number Of men also anxiously awaiting
information on the subject. Some Of
them asserted that they had gaop the
lights of the train In question enter
on the bridge anu cross the lower
spans into the high Orders; then
they saw a sudden shower
Of fire, which, with tho lighta Of the
train, seemed to descend with great
velocity into the river; then perfect
darkness followed. Minutes and
minutes passed, but no signs Of the
train were seen, and the people asked
themselves, were these really the
lights Of TIE Edinburgh train they
had seen so suddenly quenched? The
horror stricken beholders made vehe-
went appeals to the signalmaa to learn
the truth. He replied that all he
knew Of the matter was that the train
had been signsled 70 MIN from the
south end ofthe bridge at nine min
utes past z o'clock. Discovering no
indications Of the approach of the
train, the alarmed signalman tried 10
telegraph to tho end Of the bridge, but.
communication mad ceased,

Cotton Seed.

A rich reward is enjoyed this season
by the cotton seed oil men. The raw
material costs no more than last year,
freights are as cheap or cheaper, and
their productions are largely advanced
in value. Crude oil is now worth at
New Orleans 37a38c per gallon, and
refined at 49a49c per gallon. Seed
meal is $15 to $2O.5O per ton, and cake
$22 to $3.50 per ton.

Arkansas News and Politics.

Arkansas News and Politics.
Little Rock Gazette.l
We are in receipt of a letter from
our old friend, Hon. Alfred M. Will
son, of Washington county, in which
he states he will be a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination before our
next state convention. Colonel Will
son is an old %citizen-a man of large
experience and great ability, and for
more than thirty years has been a
prominent lawyer in the north west.
A lifelong democrat and always active
and prominent in public afairs--al-
ways true to the State and p~eople--he
has never been a candidate for office
before the people of the State. With
claims upon the democratic party in
ferior to none-with active and ardu-
Gus as well as able service in its cause
wholly unrequited, he has been con-
tent to serve and work in the ranks.
With the experience of years, and vet
in the prime Of life, with talents and
energy surpassed by none in the State,
if he should be chosen our standard
bearer, he will lead the party to vic
tory and make a governor who will
give general satisfaction.

What WOuldn't They steal?
The brass knobs from aLinden street
front gate were stolen in broad day
light yesterday, by some adroit thief,
who left no track upon which a tracer
could be started. There is a story
extant that thieves of bygone days
have stolen red hot stoves and pennies
from a defunct darkies' eyes. Even
church yards have been robbed in
times of the long ago, and half a
dozen years since a lot of experts stole
a big steamboat boiler, from its rest
ing place on the landing, getting it
many miles away before the proper
owners missed it, and there is another
legend aHoat that parties now live
who actually stole a whole steamboat.
1t however remains for purIoiners of
the present to steal brass knobs from
an iron gate.
