Winnipeg.

Morning light revealed to us the me-
tropolis of the Northwest We saw n
broad main street bordered with high
wooden sidewalks, and rows of shops Of
every shape and size. Some were rude
wooden shanties others were fine build
ings of yellow brick. High over all
lowered the handsome spire of the Knox
Church. Several saw and grist mills
sent up incessant puffs of white steam
into the clear air. The streets were full
of hustle and life. There were wagons
of AL descriptions standing before the
stores. Long lines of Red river carts
were loading with freight for the interior.
The sidewalks were filled with miscel-
laneous crowd of people German peas
ants, the women in dark blue gown and
head kerchiefs, the men marked by their
little fiat caps; French half-breeds, with
jaunty buck-skin jackets, many-colored
scarfs around their waists, and their
black hair shining with oil !; Indians,
dark, solemn, gaunt, stalking along in
blanket and moccassins Scotch and En-
glish people, looking as they do all the
world over, but here, perhaps little
quicker and more energetic. The mid
die of the street, though there had been
but single night of rain, was vast ex-
panse of mud-mud so tenacious that
the wheels of the wagons driving through
it were almost as large as mill-wheels
and when we dared to cross it, we came
out on the other side with much diff.
Guilty, and feet of elephantine proper.

MACE LONG was formerly one of the
wickedest men in the West He owned
many low saloons, concert halls and
cheating faro games in various cities,
and was desperate. But he became a
convert to Christianity and temperance,
several years ago, and has since been a
highly successful revivalist. He was
lately caught registered at a hotel in
Sturgis, Mich, with beautiful young
woman as his wife. Here was chance
for scandal, and his enemies took Wig
orous advantage of it; but he faces the
music with proof that the lady, a wealthy
Fort Wayne belle, is his lawful wife.

G. In the midst of selection from
liking john" at the point where the
Prince is sentenced to be blinded, she
stopped abruptly, said it was impossible
to proceed, and walked off the stage.
The people thought that she was over
come by emotion, aroused by the pas
sage which she was reading, and SO they
applauded her for the supposed display
of womanly feeling. But they were mis-
taken. A party of young men in box
had annoyed her by conversation and in
attention, and she returned to explain
that unless they behaved better she
would read no more. They were quiet
thereafter.

A Shooting and Cutting ARRAY
Near COYingtOn.

Last evening, on the farm of Mr..
WickO Miller, near Covington, Tenn,
a difficulty occurred between a negro
man and his wife. The husband
seized gun and shot at his spouse,
but failed to sever the marital band.
The wife sought refuge from the dead
ly intent Of her liege lord in the fam
lily mansion Of their employer, Mf.
Miller. The husband followed her
into the house, and upon being or
dered TO vacate by Mr.. Miller, dis
charged the contents of his murder
GUS weapon into the body of that
gentleman, inficting a mortal wound.
On leaving the house after shooting
Mr.. Miller, he encountered a son of
that gentleman at the door, who is
stoutly built, and knocked young Mil
Ter down with his gun and then
stabbed him severely. The offender
has thus far escaped the officers of the
law. The community is greatly in
censed against the murderer, and if
arrested, he will doubtless meet with
speedy punishment. Mr.. Miller, ST.,
is over seventy years of age, and Is
highly respected by the entire com
mnnitY.

BARBECUE AT CUBA.
Speaking, Dancing and a Coed
Time Generally.

The village of Cuba is the capitol Of
the Fourth civil district in the north
ern part of the county. The country
around is very rich, crops are fine,
and the people are all apparently
prosperous and happy. A grand bar
becue was announced for Tues
day, and this brought out
large crowd of the solid citizens,
splendid looking young ladies, hand
some danes, dashing young men and
pretty babies of the neighborhood.
The distance from Memphis is about
twenty miles, but the roads are in
excellent condition, and a number of
gentlemen who went out from the
city yesterday morning and returned
at night enjoyed the ride very much.
When they reached Cuba, at II O clock,
they found big crowd assembled in
a grove, and every evidence of enjoy
ment. A large space had been cleared
off for dancing, and the young people
we're making the most of the oppor-
tunity.
Soon after IL clock Esquire York,
who seemed to be chief of ceremonies,
announced dinner, and a royal coun-
try dinner it was. The ta-
bles groaned first, but the
guests groaued after the transfer was
made and their appetites were ap-
peased. There was the greatest abun-
dance of barbecued meats and other
substantial luxuries for all. The
Memphis crowd eat like grangers at
a log rolling, still there was enough
left for the second table, and no
doubt ten baskets of fragments left
over. Dinner being over, dane
ing was commenced by the young
people, whilst the rest adjourned to
the upper end of the grove, where
seats had been arranged for speaking.
There was a slight drizzling rain at
the time, but this did not dampeu the
zeal of the speakers or abate the in
terest Of the crowd. Mr.. Harvey
Mathes led off in a speech o! hall
hour, Colonel 7. P. Cham
bers, national, following in a
speech of nearly an hour, but yielded
before he was through. Gen. Luke
Il. Wright was the next and last
speaker. He occupied nearly an hour
and half speaking in that vigorous
and effective style for which he is dis.
tinguished. Col. Chambers expected
to follow bat, owing to the lateness oI
the hour, merely made a few
remarks. He devoted the most
Of his speech to national
finances. The other speakers dis
cuSsed county issues mostly. though
General Wright referred at some
length to the positions taken by his
friend Chambers.
Altogether, the entire occasion
passed off very pleasantly. The old
Fourth is good for an almost soliG
democratic vote tomorrow at least
so far as the white vote is concerned
The Memphiaus enjoyed the day very
much, and are under obligations to thu
good people for their many kind atten
tions.
