A Ruaian Car Driver.

Last Tuesday, Willie Watkins, a
lad of fourteen who lives in South
Memphis, came up town during the
afternoon to get the usual supply of
LEDGERs, he being a carrier for this
journal. While awaiting the papers
he was taken suddenly i'll, and he
started for the home Of his parents,
getting on street car No. Is of the
Main street line. The lad put the
only nickle he had in the treasury box
Of the car, and this was seen by two
ladies, the only passengers in the car
at the time. The driver Of the car
took it into his head that the boy had
not paid his fare, and told him so. The
ladies interceded for the boy, but des.
pite their circumstances and the lads
assertions, the brutal driver compelled
young Watkins to get off the car,
using his whip to enforce his exit.
The two ladies were naturally indig-
nant at this summary action, and they
gave full expression to their feelings,
not only at the rough demeanor of
the driver, but because he refused to
believe their disinterested statements.
The suffering boy was obliged to foot
it home, and upon reaching there he
was thoroughly exhausted. Yester-
day the father Of young Watkins was
endeavoring to find the ladies' who
witnessed the ugly proceeding, with a
view of bringing an action. Should
they see this statement it would serve
the course Of justice for them to come
forward and make themselves known.
So inhuman a driver deserves condign
punishment, and if he is still a street
car driver the public ought to know
him.

BROOM CORN.
a PrO1table Crop, Easily Raised

EDITOR LEDaER:--I would like to
call the attention of planters in this
section of country to the raising of
broom corn, especially this coming
season, as last season the orop was short.
and is now bringing a better price
than 1t has in several years. 1t is
worth from n to two hundred dol
lars per ton, and will be worth more
by the time the crop down here in
West Tennessee, North Mississippi
and Arkansas can be ready for mar
ket, 1t can, if planted in the latter
part Of March or first of April, and be
ready for market by the middle Of
July or first Of August, or from one TO
two months earlier than the Northern
crop.
1t will grow we'll on almost any
land. The ground should be broken
broadcast, then plant in a water fur
row IN rows about the same width as
cotton, and sow about as thick as
sorgum seed, and when it is we'll up.
throw the ground up to it. It should
be cut while green, just as soon as it
is we'll headed out. 1t should be cut
so as TO leave from four to six inches
ofstalk below the brush, well cleared
Of seed and put into bales like cotton,
and then it is as ready a sale in any
market in the United States as cotton,
and | know the planter will find it,
especially this season, more profitable
than any other crophe can plant.

THE MUSEUM.
Fresh specimens in natural history
are to be seen at the museum, No.
1863 Main street. The proprietor, Mr..
G. W. Hall, came home from New
Orleans yesterday, bringing a live
South American tiger cat or o%celot,
also a Mexican night bear, an animal
that feeds solely on fruit and is
very rare, also an alligator and
her brood of young alligators,
together with other. curiosities calcu-
lated to instruct the uniformed and
promote scientific tastes and knowl-
edge. Mr.. Hall has secured the car
cass of the panther killed a few miles
south Of the city by Mr.. Weaver a few
days since. The skin has been care
fully stuffed and is now on exhibition,
measuring between nine and ten feet
from tip to tip. Mr.. Hall is well in
formed in natural history, and he dis
putes the panther title, but claims it
to be a real American lion or cougar,
an animal spoken of by Button,
Goldsmith and other authorities
among naturalists as of a peculiarly
ferocious disposition. When hungry,
they have been known to Prov around
thickly settled neighbsrhoods, and
will attack any animal. Even chill
dren have been preyed upon by a
hungry cougar, but after their appe-
tites have been satiated, they sneak
away and hide in inaccessible cane
brakes and out of the way lairs, aud
are then Of an exceedingly oowardly
disposition. Panthers, Mr.. Hall says
are spotted red and white, the farther
north they are found the redder they
are, and those in the South increase
in whiteness as the warmer ATTITUDES
are approached. Mr.. Halls museum
is a worthy place to visit, and a fund
of information can be obtained by in
