She stands behind lhe cottage door,
To watch the dying day,
Her raven hair is sprinkled Ger
With flakes Of silver gray;
And many line Of sadness sears
That pale yet lovely face,
To mark where slow and silent tears
Have left their lasting trace.
And still her whispered thoughts will tell
OF scenes that are no more,
And scan the once.lOved forms that dwelt
On mcm'ry's shadowy shore;
Again the little cot to deck,
That now so empty stands,
Again to feel around her neck
The touch of tiny hands.
How long the weary spirit cried
Within this world Of pain,
Ere meath the never fading skies,

And as she views tho silver night,
Slow sweeping to the west,
A murmured prayer in faith takes flight
TO him who giseth rest.

MILITARY FESTIVAL.
The COlOred Folks at Estival
Park Last Night.

There was a jolly time at Estival
park last night, and several hundred
people enjoyed it hugely. Besides the
colored people several dozen white
folks participated. 1t was pleasant to
a degree. There were various promi-
nent features in the programme, but
the leading one was the match drill
between the Mcclellan Guards and
the Zouaves. The prize was a large
silver pitcher, waiter and goblet, pur-
chased by the feminine friends Of
the two companies. The judges
chosen for the grand occasion
we're Colonel Cameron, Captains
Carnes and Waldron, and H. Camp.
The companies, with twenty-one men
rank and file, respectively, were COM
manded by ex-Captain r. T. Brown,
for the Zouayes, and Captain James
Il. Glass, of the Mcclellan Guards.
The drill began at half-past eight and
ended in an hour, Captain Glass
taking the field after Captain Brown.
The decision was made in favor Of
the Mcclellan Guards and the award
gave general satisfaction. After the
presentation by Miss Annie S. Wright,
dancing began and lasted throughout
the night. All passed off without an
unpleasant feature to mar the festival
The following was Miss Wright's pre-
sentation speech:
Captain Glass and members of the
Mcclellan Guards: Although an ar
dent admirer of a well drilled com
pany, l feel that my knowledge of
military tactics is too limited to give
you the praise you so much merit.
The drill this evening has done
great credit to you, as we'll as afforded
much interest to all present, and has
proven that you have devoted much
time and patience to the beautiful art
of soldiery.
| fatter myself with the idea, not
because Memphis is my home, but be
cause it has been proven, that Mem
phis has the best drilled companies in
the union. l have the honor in be-
half Of the committee Of gentlemen
who conduct this picnic, of presenting
to you this beautiful silver set as an
appreciation of your skill and accu-
racy as a military company, and
| hope that you may always
have the pleasure of quench-
ing your thirst from the cool
ing draught of this pitcher, rather
than be honorably bound to sip spar
ingly from a canteen.

The Only One.

A prominent and wealthy merchant
Of this city, who came here some thir-
ty years ago a poor man, now living in
a palatial residence and doing bust
ness in a magnificent block owned by
himself 1--WE are informed), refused to
contribute one cent to enclose and
protect Winchester cemetery" the
sacred repository of the bones Of the
pioneers of this city. Many now sleep
ing in Winchester" and their chill
dren have doubtless been large con-
tributors to the treasury Of this Dives,
who now refuses to give one cent to
protect this hallowed spot.
The condition Of this ancient bury
ing ground has long been a disgrace to
the civilization of the age, and we be-
lieve that few, at least, of our old cit
liens will turn a deaf ear to so worthy
an appeal. This most desired work
cannot be done by the dead, nor en-
tirely by their children now scattered
from Maine to California, hence an
appeal to others for assistance.

A telegram was received here on
yesterday announcing the death Of
Mr.. John B. Tilden, we'll known as an
agent in the cotton seed traffic for sew
years past. Mr.. Tilden had been suf-
fering with jaundice for some weeks,
and he recently passed through the
city on his way from Huntsville, Ala,
to Chicago, accompanied by his wife.
Mr.. Tilden was a very popular gentle
man, and had a wide circle of ac-
quaintances.
A story has been started about the
street railway tickets, good for one
ride, and costing five cents each. A
case pending in the courts, it is
claimed, will likely declare theirisSue
unlawful and render persons receiving
or passing them liable to the penalty
ofa fine, and perhaps Imprisonment,
The next United States grand jury
will have plenty of work, if it should
consider the subject of indicting every
person who may have used gutta
percha street car tickets.

Our Weather.

Seventy-four degrees, with the wind
northwest, was the situation here at

announce but little change in the
temperature, with winds shifting to
the southwest. Rains are probable

Occasional rains are also indicated
for the east and west gulf, the Allan

Elsewhere in this country no rains

The other day a young man named
Walton wasarrested, charged with pur-
Joining a calf, the property Of Mr..
Hall, residing near Burtyn's Station.
He was taken before Esquire Quigley,
and by that official bound over to ap-
pear before the criminal court for trial
in the sum of 81 900, and he passed
the night in the station house. Sub
sequently he was released from Gus
tody on a bond reduced to $500. In
referring to the case last Saturday, it
was enormously stated in this journal
that Walton had been released by
fudge HorTigsn on payment of costs,
and that Judge T. W. Brown was
Walton's counsel. Both statements
were innocently made to the writer,
and without other motive than
to impart passing events in the
usual manner They we're as limo.
Gently ventilated and no idea of mis-
stating facts or of offending any me.
Judge 7. w. Brown, who had inter
ested himself in behalf of Walton,
through sympathy for his aged father,
but who received no fee, and did not
regard himself as WHallttooH's attorney,
felt aggrieved at the article in this
paper. He had previously printed a
card in the morning papers explaining
his connection with the matter, and
before reading the LEDGER article
printed another, charging the writer
with Intentionally f~aIsifying him.
Upon learning the truth Of it and that
no reflection had been intended, Judge
Brown wrote a note to the party in
terested expressing regret at the TEN.
per of his card, which he says was the
natural result of the unexplained arti-
Gle, and he further says he cheerfully
e~xonerates the aforesaid writer from

Intentionally made any error in allud.
