Various Notes.

For early walking the fashionable
costume is of Indian wool, with an
English jacket.
The latest riding habit is perfectly
plain aud simple, with a strip Of collar
and two rows of buttons on the front.
Lord Beaconfeld's house Of Hugh
enden is a substantial and comfortable,
but not ancient, building, standing in
a beautiful park full Of great trees,
velvet sward and wild flowers. 1t is
an exceedingly pleasant place.
The English fashion for wearing
mourning for a sister is three months
in crepe, six weeks in black and six
weeks in half mourning. Satin is only
adapted for slight mourning and can
not be worn Immediately after crepe.
According to Truth, her majesty
has made a rare exception in favor Of
one vocalist engaged to sing at the
state concert, by waving a stringent
rule. Low-necked dresses for the
lady singers are always de rigeur at
these affairs; but, as Mrs. Osgood is
forbidden by her doctor to ever dress
in this manner, the queen has per-
mitted her to disguise her neck in
fesh-oolored silk and tulle on the oc-
casion mentioned.
A well dressed man, whether an
Ohio man or not has not yet been
claimed, was recently sitting at a
table in a frst-rate hotel, and was
served with soup. He looked up at
the waiter and said: mo, you can't
come any soup dinner on me. Bring
me some things that | pay for
almonds, salmon, water brushes,
chickens, ice cream and that ham
with champagne. Leave out the
champagne, and I'll make it up in
beer"

Last Sunday night, Ben. Franklin
a colored man, living on r. 2. Par.
ish's place, in this county, heard 8
disturbance among his chickens. The
chicken house is only about ten feet
from his dwelling, with a small aper.
ture for a door near the ground. He
went out to investigate the trouble,
and as he stopped down to look in al
the door, a huge wild cat, or cats;
mount, sprang from under his dwell
ling, and lighting upon his back, COM
menced biting and scratching him in
a most terrible manner. With consiG-
cradle difficulty he managed to pull
him off and go back in the house and
get a gun and kill the cat, which had
returned to his chicken under the
house.
Ben's arm and side were so severely
lacerated with bites and scratches
that he was compelled to go to bed
the next day and send for DR.. Lucas
to dress his wounds.

Two Inauests.

Yesterday was marked by two in
quests, both held by Esquire John
Spellman. The first was upon the
body of Alex. NJ. Ferguson, an old
citizen. From information gathered
he went to the drug store for some
chill medicine Saturday night, and,
returning. soon after laid down and
died. The verdict of the jury was in
accordance with the opinions of Drs
Sim and White, that no came to his
death from congestion of the brain.
The other inquest was held yester-
day evening upon the body of Philip
Mitchell, colored, who was found in
an old well in the factory lot, Chelsea.
About a week ago Mitchell, who was
forty-fve years old and a mar of fam
lily, left home to hunt some stray cat
tie and has been missing since. Yes
terday evening, while some boys were
playing in the factory lot. one of them
came very near falling in an old we'll
and calling his playmates to show
them how marrow had been his escape,
they discovered the body Of the un-
fortunate man lying at the bottom Of
the well, which is about thirty feet
deep. He was much decomposed, his
features almost gone, and one foot
falling off while attempting to raise
the body, but was recognized by his
family from his clothing and one or
two remarkable features. The verdict
ofthe jury was in accordance with the
above facts.
The authorities should see that the
well is filed up, as now it is likely at
any time to be the grave of some
other unfortunate citizen.

Judge Horrlgan, of MemDhis.

Judge HOrrigan, of Memphis.
Grenada, Miss. Sentinel.l
When the entire press of a large city
like Memphis unite not once. but
often, in his praised, there certainly
must be something not only power
fully sslf-sustaining in his private
character, but when he takes his seat
upon the woolsack he is at once re-
gsrded as the representative Of the
majesty of the law, and everybody
present feels that indefnable respect
for the officer and his court, which
not only commands attention, but an
honorable fear of offending his embod-
iment Of dignity and law and justice.
Why is it that there are so
few Horrigans, not only
n tennessee, but in every
state, tits a question that we would
like some one to answer for us. Why
do not all judges pattern more, not
less, after the style of Judge Horri.
gan? Do they not understand their
duties2 Are they wanting in native
dignity and manners2 Do they ap-
preciate their high and solemn posi-
tion?' The courthouse is the temple
where the blind goddess is supposed
to sit, with poised scales, dealing out
to every one his exact and even
amount of that abstract, but strong
and necessary quantity called justice;
and if every judge would appreciate
his functions Alright, there would be a
Judge Horrigan on every circuit in
Mississippi, as well as in Memphis.
We do not mean to underrate our
judges, but we would like to meet
with something that would forcibly
remind us of this splendid judicial
officer of Memphis.

About ExOdusters.

On Saturday last eleven families of
colored people, embracing thirty three
persons, all told, passed here on the
steamer Stanard, ~yoyaging from Lou
isiana to Topeka, Kansas. This crowd
has been magni6ed into several hun
dred by some of the upper country
papers. On Saturday evening last
the steamer Golden Rule, upon which
a hundred people took passage for
Liberia several months ago, passed
here going south with eighteen of the
party returning to Helena, from
whence they started. They became
dissatisfied with the accommodations
offered for their transportation by the
barks Monrovia and Liberia. The
party was composed of the families Of
Austin Barron, NJ. L. McDufy, and
Fred. Sickles, and give anything but
a pleasing picture Of the facilities for
carrying e%migrants. While in New
York the majority of the colonists
were dependent upon the charity Of
the citizens for food and shelter.
Before the barks left New York eight
OF the colony ~died-three men, one
woman and four children.
