Archie Tindall, a youthful colored
imp, who has been in dozens of scrapes
and served on several sentences, went
to the Island this morning for forty
days, for tapping a south Memphis till
of Is cents.
The negro Helm, who was shot by
Officer Jenny while in the act Of
burglarizing Aehle's saloon, has pro-

is before Esquire Spelman.

Charlie Steele, was among the prison.
ers sent to the island from the station
house this morning. He has both

ages nevertheless to reach high

several. Some tender-hearted citizen
was heard lamenting the fact the
other day of his being cut off at the
wrong end.
A negro infant about a week old
was found wrapped in an old dress

early this morning by Mace Anderson.
residing in south Memphis. The
fact was reported to Chief Athy, who
soon succeeded in finding the mother
Of the child, and bringing her to an
acknowledgement before him. She
came over from Arkansas a few days
before the child was born, took what
she thought the speediest course to
get rid oft, and was prepared to re-
turn to Arkansas when arrested.

A MODEL CONVICT.
Twenty-Five Years u Prisoner, yet
Hoping for Pardon.

Twenty-Five years agothe iron gate
Of Auburn prison closed with a clang
upon William Comstock. Maddened
by whisky, he had slain his father and
mother in Brooklyn, N. Y. mas.
much as the double murder was com
mitted while the mar was wild with
delirium tremens, he was permitted to
plead guilty to manslaughter in the
first degree. which he did, and he was
sentenced by Judge Hiram Gray to
imprisonment for the term of his ma
tural life. Comstock was 81 years of
age. During all these % years he has
not been outside of the prison
walls, and now at the age of
50 is as ignorant of the world
as the mewling infant in its
mothers arms. When he entered the
institution he had no occupation. and
up to twelve years ago was employed
in what is known as the state shop at
all kinds Of work. Since then he has
been in the tailor shop. Comstock is
in many respects a remarkable man.
When sent to prison he was a physi-
cal wreck from the effects of drink.
Now he is apparently a perfect speci-
men of manhood. Tall, erect, with a
robust form, disease seems a stranger
to his frame. Comstock is one of the
most orderly and well behaved con-
victs in the institution. He has not
so much as been reprimanded for a
misdemeanor. He is industrious. and
has not been absent a day
from his labor. While he shows
no particular strength of mind,
he indicates no mental weakness.
He holds aloof from the other prison
ers, and as a consequence is respected
by them. When one convict requests
him to pass a note or some object to
another while walking along the gal
leries in pursuit of his tasks, he passes
on, unmindful of remarks. No con-
Wet aver complains of him, MS he is
no tale bearer, and attends strictly to
his own business. ComstOck lives in
hope. He has faith to believe that
friends will some time interest them
selvesi in him and endeavor to secure a
pardon. Twice applications for par
don have been made to the governor,
but both times a brother has opposed
them. Major William Fl. Boyle, the
principal keeper, believes that Com
stock, ifreleased now, would make a
good citizen. He has lost his taste
for liquor, and maintains that he
knew nothing of his deed.

Political Influenza.

A popular gentleman of culture,
who is a resident in this community
was a student in a Kentucky college
where James G. Blaine, of Maine,
was a professor many years ago. The
citizen referred to is naturally for
Blaine, and it is vaguely limited that
should his man win, aud by chance
reach the presidential chair, the
aforesaid citizen would readily CON
troll the whole of the federal patron
age in this end of our state. The
hint, however, may be of no real

The Second Commandment.

AMC SCCOUu commandments
Dean Stanley, in Good Works.
The second commandment is no
longer ours in the letters, for the
sculptures and paintings which we see
at every turn are what the second
commandment in its letter forbade,
and what the Jews, therefore never
made. Every statue, every picture.
not only in every church, but in every
street or room, is a breach Of the letter
Of the second commandment. No Jew
would have ventured under the Mo-
sale dispensation to have them. When
Solomon made the golden lions and
oxen in the temple, it was regarded by
his countrymen as unlawful. The
Mohammedan world still observes the
second commandment literally. The
Christian world has certainly set it
aside. But in spirit it is still most
important. It teaches us that we
must not make God after our likeness
or after any likeness short of the most
absolute moral perfection, ANY fan
cies, any doctrines. any practices
which lead us to think that God is
capricious or unjust or untruthful, or
that he cares for any outward thing
compared with holiness, mercy and
goodness-that is the breach of the
second commandment in spirit, Ey-
cry attempt to purify and exalt our
ideas Of God is the keeping of the
second commandment in spirit, even
although we live amid pictures and
statues and sculptures Of things in
heaven and things on earth and things
under the earth. For the spirit is
greater than the letter-the letter
killeth, and the spirit giveth life.

Indicted for Perjury.


In the recent libel trial before
Judge Pierce, of Ball VS.. Whitmore,
in the circuit court, NJ. +. Ball, the
plaintiff, while under oath, raised his
hand on high, and called upon the
Almighty to witness the truth of the
statement he was then making, that
never with his knowledge or consent
did immoral or lewd women gain ad-
mittance to the European hotel, while
under his management. Other wit
nesses testified otherwise. The con.
Aicting evidence was supposed to have
an important bearing in the cause at
issue, and as some one gave false tes-
timony, efforts to develope who it was
have been IN progress for several days.
With this object in view, an indict-
ment for perjury was yesterday de-
clared against Ball by the Shelby
county grand jury, and last evening
he was arrested by Officer Britt, at
his residence near the Winchester
cemetery. He promptly gave an
appearance bond to answer, the same
being signed by John League and DR..
f. L. Sim, whereupon he was released
from custody. 1t is to he hoped that
full justice will result in the cause,
aud that if innocent, Mr.. Ball will be
able to show it when his time Of trial
arrives.
