The study of languages is rapidly in
creasing in this city. Most Of our
young folks seem now to be impressed
| with the idea that II ia not only Of
great necessity but useful for many Of
them to devote sometime to that beau
tiful study Of languages. And il 1t be
true, as we read in Proverbs XXI, 7 :
"That q little learning makes the
whole world kim" how much sooner
will this be realized If we all would
study as far as possible the languages,
the only barrier between different ma
tions, "for manifold are the tongues Of
men," "But immortals speak only
ons."

PRESENTATION.
brother Hen. Fallen Surprised
and Charmed,

When South Memphis lodge No.
lis was about to close lastnight in the
Masonic temple Brother w. S. Flip
pin obtained the floor, and in a few
appropriate and we'll rounded SEN
fences presented to- Brother Pullen,
in behalf of the lodge, a beautiful
Masonic charm. The intentions of the
members had been entirely concealed
from the recipient of the testimonial,
and he was taken quite unawares.
Nevertheless he recovered and ex-
pressed himself feelingly and grace
fully. The charm is of pure gold
and quite massive and beautiful. 1t
is a past masters jewel, with cross
pens as an emblem of the secretary, an
office which MIR. Pullen has held so
long. On the converse side is the fol-
lowing inscription: Presented to
Bro. B. K. Pullen, by South Mem
phis Lodge, No. lis, +. & A. NJ,
Memphis. A. d. 1880, for faithful
services as secretary from 1866
to 1880 except two years, 1872 and
1875, when be was the Junior warden
and wOrshipful master. March TO-
Few men have done more faithful
service for Masonery than Brother
Bullen, and all feel that this was a
we'll deserved tribute.

a Pleaded Country.

People from the country this morn
ing say the creeks and rivers are
higher than ever before known, and
more bridges, fences and the like have
been washed away than on any Occa-
sion in the knowledge of the present
generation. The roads ere awful TO
travel over, aud farming operations
cannot be carried on. Flowing
should have been in progress
some time since, but even oats
and potatoes, which should have been
in the ground a month ago, are not
planted and gardens are full four
weeks behind time, all on account of
the excessive rains and sloppy earth.
The farmers are all idle in conse-
quence of the wetness,
