The New IseYelntion.

Nehemiah Kenison, chiropodist by
profession, a native of New IIamp-
shire now in the city, has written a
singular and, we may say, rather a
fascinating little pamphlet of forty
pages, under the title of "The new
revelation in dreams relating to the
mysteries of the soul" He tells a
touching story of his early struggles
in life, leaving the old home which he
now owns, his fathers death, etc.,
and advances some strange ideasabout
the soul, the spiritual body and the
future life. These, however, are not
greatly at variance with the commonly
accepted orthodox theories. He has
had some remarkable dreams in his
time, and seems to have faith pecu-
liarly his own. He has a strong be-
lief in the efficacy of prayer, and gives
some good advice mixed up with
crude ideas of science, anatomy and
religion. The book sells for % cents
a copy. Oorns are also treated at tho
same price, though there is no dis
cernible connection between the
professions Of author and chiropo-
dist.

GENERAL GRANT will make the
trip from New Orleans to Memphis by
river, stopping over one day at Vicks-
burg, in response to formal invita-
tion extended to him yesterday. He
will probably leave New Orleans on
the 10th inst This will bring him to
Memphis about the 10Th or 18th of
this month. Ample time will be af-
forded to make all necessary prepara-
tions for his reception. In the first
place it would be proper for the city
authorities and officers Of the cotton
exchange to tender him an invitation
to accept the hospitalities ofthe Taxing
district. Next it will be in order to
make arrangements for a grand ban
quet at the Peabody hotel. Let the
Chickasaw Guards and other white
and colored companies, meet
the steamer at the wharf and escort
the distinguished party to their stop
ping place. The various matters Of
detail, however, will be arranged,
doubtless, by proper committees. For
the time being politics will be laid
aside, and all classes will unite in a
manifestation ofrespect for the most
distinguished citizen in the world. He
has visited the. capitals of all
civilized nations and been received
with the highest honors. We may not
regard him as another Washington.
We may and do reserve the right to
criticise his political record, but we
must recognize the fact that he is one
of the great historic figures Of the age,
and that since he went out of Office
he has doue much to command the
respect of the American people, and
to promote admiration abroad for our
institutions. # he has political
aspirations, that Is another matter,
TO be considered afterward. He
comes among us, not for the
first time, it is true, but as
u. S. Grant citizen, late president Of
the United States, for two terms, and
commander of the army as long as he
was needed in that capacity. Memphis
will not be behind other cities, in this
and other countries, in giving him a
generous and a becoming welcome
Let us show the world that we are
fully up with the spirit of the times

And sing my song-my little song
Ot the beautiful Josie Harry.

Upon the dancing water,
No fairer thing is ever seen
Save wnman's fairest daughter.
And should ever go from hoILe

To make my trip on that nice boat
On the beautiful Josie Harry.

With girlish, gleeful heart,
And wave adieux to Newport town
For Memphis busy mart.

THE following stalwart and sensible
remarks from the Little Rock Demo-
crat, apply in Tennessee, Mississippi
and other southern states, as well as
in Arkansas:
More people are this year engaging
in mercantile pursuits in Arkansas,
than ever before in single season. 1t
is a grave mistake, and one we would
warn our friends against. Men who
embark on the troubled sea of com
merce with a small capital run enor-
nous risks. 1t is also to be regretted
that many country merchants are
pushing off their goods on a credit to
the planters, giving them to them at
any price. A bad crop next year
would bring dire disaster. Go slow.
Get only what you want. On the
other hand, a crop like the last would
place Arkansas among the foremost
of the states.

The brother began, and was going on
in fine style, waxing louder and
louder, and, of course, more and more
eloquent. He continued for twenty
or twenty-five minutes with unabated
vigor. The preacher frequently
peeped at him with one eye to see
whether he gave any signs OF coming

WASHINGTON, April 1.--Quite con
trary to the expectation generally en-

republican senators here have refused
to make a fight on the Garfeldamend-
ment to the federal election law. They
saw that the contest in the senate was
hopeless, and they were to-day CON
tent with Edmunds' protest against
its passage. lnasmuch as the
democrats refused to encourage gen
eral political debate, Edmunds' speech
was very perfunctory affair. During

hours, nearly all the democratic and

absent from the chamber, and at times

attacks upon the democrats, evidently
with the intention of enlisting some

but no one responded to the invitation.
Taken all in all the performance was
decidedly tame. The fact that the
proposition under consideration was
proposed by Garfield and the substance
Of it approved by administration re-
publicans, rendered somewhat gro
tesque Edmunds' denunciation of
what he declared to be an attempt of
crafty and designing democrats to
paralyze and emacculate the cleo

Garfield amendment from becoming a

thus to thwart the will Of congress,
inasmuch as the party in congress is
anything but united in opposition to
the Garfield amendment. A good
many republicans freely admit that
the veto would be very damaging to
the interests of oftheirparty. The dem

requested the county school board to
convene for the purpose of consider,
ing the propriety of redistricting the
school lines so that four miles square
with school-house in the center,
should be arranged in lieu of the
present boundaries. Mr.. j. L. Harris,
the plow-boy of the hills, advocated
the idea with his usual fervency and
earnestness. This forenoon the direc-
tors met, listened attentively to Mr..
Harris, discussed the matter and de-
cided it to be impracticable. The
body also considered the propriety of
accepting the Appleton series of text
books in lieu of those now in use.
This measure was under discussion at
noon, with but little prospect of any
change being made.
