After advising the Legislature 20

and go home, lac takes up the other
questions as follows:
Next to the duties required in
cleaning up Memphis kitchens and
out houses, your attention Is called
to "body-snatching." This is
grave question, ard you ought thor
oughly TO dissect the subject. The
practice deserves severe punish
ment. The truth is that many Of our
best citizens are becoming unwill-
iug to die on account Of the scarci
w of information as TO GabrieTs 90
cative powers. So you need not be
troubled about making the punish
ment for this offense too severe.
The living are all opposed TO the
business, and the dead-vhy, they
can't vote. You ought 10 make IL
optional with the offender, between
hanging and lifetime imprison-
ment, and il you would provide 70

next morning early he has the tele

he is sending an electric shock
through Wall Street as soon as the
bulls and bears come into that field

tion written in manifold and sent 20

New York had of his gift to Mem
phis sufferers of $4,000 came from
Memphis, as did the news of the
second gift of $4,000. Mr.. Gould
being a small man of little physical
prowess, Is naturally rot disposed
to put himself recklessly IN the way
of the horns of the bulls and the
claws OF the bears. There are some
men in Wall street, as MIR. Gould
has reason to know, who wish to
resent their losses with their fists,
and are disposed to follow Maj. Sc
lovers example and despatch him
bodily down into a convenient area.
Accordingly, Mr. Gould keeps his
office guarded by stout Irishman,
who prevents the intrusion of visit

way to get out into the street. He
has, too, it is said, a big Italian
book keeper who accompanies him
on many of his business trips about
town, and stands ready to protect
his millionaire employer.
