TWO MEMPHIS GIRLS
Emulate their Northern Sisters
and Fake a Lesson in Fencing.

The noble art of fencing, according
to some Of the northern d%ailies, is
fast becoming popular with the fair
sex. 1t is said to develop the mus
cles of the arms aud cbestt to a greater
degree than any other oalisthenic ex-
%ercise. 1t is more interesting than
the stupid dumb bell exercise, not as
dangerous where a few simple precau-
tons are used, and a very graceful
accomplishment. There is no valid
objection to its practice by females,
and fencing masters pronounce that
sex quicker and more expert with the
foil than the opposite sex.
A couple of yor .as ladies, sisters,
III sou, 81 Memphis read something on
the subject from a New York paper

at once, and to take their first lesson

from a master first" objected the
elder and more thoughtful Of .he two.
81 think we ought to loosen our
elbows at home a little before we
make fools Of ourselves, replied the
other.
YES, but we have no loiis, per-
sisted the first.
The younger sister was equal to the
occasion, however, and proposed to
S the broom herself, while her oppo-
nent could substitute the poker for
the more graceful implement. Some
little word skirmishing was INDUCED
in ovor the choice Of weapons, but a
compromise was finally effected, and,

tucking their skirts out Of the way
according to the most approved board
i~ug-school fashion, they fell to work in
real earnest. Both we're naturally a
little timid at first, but grew holder as
the exercise progressed. The noise Of
the conflict soon bTOugh. a young
brother to the room, who viewed the
strange scene with the liveliest in
terest.
Amt it nice, Bud2'' said one Of
them, making q little fanciful curvet
with the poker.
Bully T. said the yOungster, with
deep emphasis.
From this on the conflict grew
%fercer, owing, perhaps, to the presence
Of an audience, and an appreciative
one at that. A particularly compli-
Gated flourish with the poker brought
the festive broom-stick to the front
just in time to save its fair holder
from having her bangs spoiled forever,
but not in season to prevent her from
receiving a slanting blow on the back
Of the hand, which peeled of the skin
from a good portion Of it.

and a lively conflict began, first with
the alleged foils and then with the
pillows, anything that came to

About three weeks ago a Mr.. VIM.

from him in an uptown saloon, and
after a few days search gave up all
hopes Of ever recovering it, reporting
the loss, however, to the police. A

ticed a letter in his private box, and

was signed y. Roberts" and read as
follows:

taking another glance at the envelope,
saw IL was addressed to well known
crook here, care Of Millard's boarding
house, and had been left at his Office
by mistake. Like the model citizen
he is, the letter was at once handed
over to Chief Of Police Davis, who,
putting this and that together, rightly
concluded that the chain referred to
was the same as that stolen from Mr..
Bland. A photograph ola chain sim
liar to that stolen from him was sent
to Detective Blythe, of Louisville. By
this mornings express the chain was
returned, and has been handed Mr..

pense Of bringing him back here from

Weather Notes.

Ugh!
Keenly cold and rough.
Street travellers, to keep from trip,
ping, we're compelled to walk with
care to-day.
This is the best snow we have had
this season for sleigh-riding. The
sport has, however. been sparingly in
dulged in here. Few appear to care
for it.
Ice again drifted heavily in the
river to-day, and navigation is prac-
tically suspended by this serious i'm
pedimert to the movement Of vessels.
Those who could do it, studied the
oscillations of the temperature yester-
day from a snug corner neal a warm
fire. Wayfarers were not numerous
on the highways, and the churches
were thinly attended.
Very cold weather prevailed last
night throughout the north. AT
Marquette, in Michigan, the mercury
dropped IS degrees below zero at st,
Paul, II; at Bismarck, upper Mis-
souri,, Is, and at Fort Garry, up on the
Red river Of the north, 26.
Rain and snow, with no increase Of
warmth, is indicated to-day in the
west gulf states; snow is probable here,
and the prospect, according to the
signal service bulletins, is for con-
tinued singing cold weather.
The temperature was down to 10
degrees this morning, II below freez-
ing point and a drop Of 9 from yester-
day. There was a fresh, eight. mile
northwest wind, and it blew from
that quarter, or straight from the
north, all over the southern country.
Texas continued to enjoy a twenty.
mile norther this morning, and it
promises to be colder there to-day,
1t was showing this morning at
Shreveport, La, some two hundred
miles southwest of here, in a direct
line, and rain was reported at New
Orleans and Galveston. Snow fell
last night at Little Rock, Vicksburg,
Nashville, Chattanooga and Louisville
Snow storms extended all up the
Ohio valley to the lakes, and through
the eastern and middle states.
