New MUSIC.

We have received from the pub
fishers two new pieces composed by
Prof. Meininger. They are a church
anthem well adapted to perform
ance by a quartette choir, to the
words of the well-known hymn,
HJesus Lover of My Soul" and
fine tenor solo entitled "Life's Best
Hopes" Both these compositions
have been heard in GAINESVILLE, the
anthem as performed by the choir
of Trinity Church, to the rector of
which the piece is dedicated the
tenor solo has been heard to adVant-
age through the fine singing of Mr..
George Cashier, of this place. Ii
consists of several movements
adapted to the varying expression
of the words, which by the by are
those of a beautiful original poem
by the Hon. j. w. Jones. Those
who have heard the song will be
sure to want it, and those who have
not will do well to buy it. 1t may
be remarked that while it is special
~ adapted to a tenor voice, it can
be sung with effect by Il soprano.
The author has done US the honor
of dedicating il to the senior editor
of this paper.
We are glad to learn that Prof.
Meininger has returned to Clarks-
willie and is making arrangements
for receiving pupils in both vocal
and instrumental music by the
month.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:- We think
the city council ought to elect and
employ city engineer. We are as
Stunning an Importance as a city that
requires that this should be done.
With an engineer all of our streets
could be brought to grade, system
of public sewerage could be perfect
ed and many other awkward things
about our city Strengthened out.
When they determine to select one,
l suggest the name of G.. w. Rich
ardson, our accomplished county
surveyor. There is not a more COM
petent engineer in the whole coun-
try than he, and none more worthy
of the confidence and patronage Of
the public,
Let us have city engineer, and
let us have Walter Richardson.

THE entertainment in New Prov
idence last Tuesday night was quite
an enjoyable affair. Mrs. Jarley's
wax works was irresistibiy funny,
with Miss Ora Gold as "the immor-
tai Jarley," Mr.. Ambrose Gold as
"Slum," and Miss Eva Homer as
"Little Nell" Supper was next in
order, and spoke volumes in praise
of the culinary powers of the mat
rons of New Providence. After
some spirited voting, a beautifully
trimmed cake, for the most popular
young lady in the house, was pre-
scented to Miss Woodson. Then, af-
Ter an hour or more spent in prom
enading and conversation, the COM
pany dispersed, and amid the many
comments which we heard passed
upon the entertainment, not one ex-
pressed dissatisfaction.

Methodist Festival at MIR. Macrae's
competitive DrilI-Ice
Cream. &C. &c.

Cream, dCc., DC.
The Ladies' Committee of the
Methodist Church gave one OF their
moonlight entertainments at the
residence of Mr.. Macrae on Thurs
day night. The grounds, which are
very beautiful in themselves, were
spiendidly illuminated with over
two hundred Chinese lamps and
the beaming countenance of the
lady moon. Hundreds of fair ladies
with their cavaliers prOmenaded
the groves thus illumined, and
occasionally sat down to tables dis
persed over the lawn, where they
were served with ice cream and
cake, and about 10 o'clock the City
Guards formed in a beautiful glade
for competitive drill. The plume
at the last competition had been
won by Corporal Ben. Blackman;
it was now again to be contended
for.
Not many fell out of ranks until
the manual by numbers was COM
menced. The soldiers had become
unaccustomed to this mode of COM
mand and fell out rather rapidly.
1t was some time, however, before
the company was reduced to three
members, VIM. E. Smith, Thos.
Averett and Henry Atkins. Here
a difficult question arose for the
judges, which they occupied some
time in discussing; the order was
inspection of arms" Averett
obeyed the order, the other two
remained motionless; the question
was, which was right? When act
ual inspection is intended it is di-
rected that that order shall only be
given with fixed bayonets, and
Messrs. Smith and Atkins disre-
garded the order as an erroneous
one. After discussion it was de-
termined that the order was not
erroneous, as the tactics provide
that in instruction drill the order
may be given with bayonets I'M
fixed. This, it appeared to us, ought
to have given the plume to Averett,
as, if he was right, the other two
were wrong; but the decision of
the judges was that as the mOoted |
question had never been made the |
subject of instruction to the COM
pany, no error should be recorded |
on either side and the drill of the
three should go on. OF course we
defer to the experienced officers who
acted as judges (they were Capt.
Carnes and Lieut.. Allen of the
but had the decision
upon us we should have
given the plume to Averett. He
correctly through having
studied the printed instructions, the
other two failed through continuing
their attention to their oral instruc-
tons; the greater diligence of Aver
EFT would have led us to decide in
his favor. The drill continued,
and after one or two slight
errors on the part of Averett and
the plume was assigned to
Sergeant Smith.
In addition to the plume Mr..
Smith was presented with a beauti-
full badge and large heart-shaped
cake by the lady hostesses of the
occasion. The presentation was
made in a neat speech by J. J.
West, Esq.

Portraits of the Memphis VOIun-

Portraits of the Memphis VOIun-
teers.
McCOrmac, by the exercise of his
beautiful art, has furnished us with
a lasting record of the sojourn of the
Chickasaw Guards and Bluff City
Grays, who have been encamping
in our suburbs during the summer
to keep out of the way Of Yellow
Jack. This record consists of a Sc
ries of fine photographs of the camps
and their occupants. There are two
series-One for the Bluffs and the
other for the Chicks, as follows:
L. Bluff City Grays. First-Camp
acknowledgement view. Second
Bluff City Grays on dress parade
(the Bluffs are specially proud of the
portrait of a beautiful young lady
which is included in this picture).
Third-Camp Howard in perspect-
i've with officers and men in the
foreground.
II. Chickasaw Guards. First
Camp general view. Sec
-Chickasaws in line of march.
Third-In place rest. Fourth
Ready to fire; front rank kneeling,
rear rank standing. Fifth-Group
of commissioned and nOn-cOmmis-
stoned officers.
The accuracy of the portraits is
wonderful, considering the number
Of figures included. Mr.. McCormac
has done us the honor of presenting
us with a copy of H., No. 3, in
which the ChickasaWS are march
ing by fouFs-everY file of four as
straight and solid as if it were cut
out of single block of wood. In
this picture there are fOrty-fOur men
in ranks, besides commissioned and
nOn-commissioned officers, and any
one who knows the individuals can
easily distinguish each separate face.
In the woodland camp of the Grays
the broad effects of light and shade
produced by the forest trees give
quite artistic value to the landscape
independent of the figures, which
are admirable.
But the reader will go to McCOr-
macs gallery and see for himself,
and if he does he is certain to pur-
chase a set F; we need say no more.

HARRY BECK, sclaosc mother died
Au0stst l2kh. 1879.


Dear, darling babe, you do not know
The loss you're called to undergo,
Before sin or sorrow made trace
Upon your sweet, little smiling face.
Papa is left, though mother is gone,
So little Harry is not forlorn.
Let Him, who rules the tempest wild,
Guide and protect the motherless child.
The one who nestled you on her breast
Is now forever gone to rest.
No more to kneel for you in prayer,
No more can show ner tender care;
Twas to you-she had none other
She was the tender, loving mothers;
Let Him, who rules the tempest wild,
Guide and protect the motherless child.
Ia after years, you meier viii see
The one who loved so tenderly;
Before You learned to lisp her name,
Death-the dark-winged messenger-came
To claim her--'twas her Masters will,
Bat she'll be your angel-mother still;
May He, who rules the tempest wild,
Guide and protect the motherless child.
When time to you shall be no more,
May you gain that celestial shore,
And with your sainted mother meet,
Where angel-harpers both will greet;
Then with the seraphic choir you'll sing
Endless praises to our Heavenly King.
May He, who rules the tempest wild,
Save us all with the motherless child,
