WiIde's Lecture Tonight.

A deal OF interest is felt by the
local public regarding the proposed
lecture tonight by the aesthetic leader,
Oscar Wilde. Over four rows of
dress circle seats were taken when the
ticket Office opened this forenoon, and
many of the parduette seats had also
been engaged. This indicates a
crushing audience, and that it will be
attentive and decorous, none can
doubt. The subject, g" Decorative
Art" is broad one, and in it Mr..
Wilde is said to prove conclusiyely
that beauty cannot be taught, only
revealed. He attempts no analysis
or description, but his method of
treatment is by revelation. In the
exposition of those peculiar views
which have SO distinguished Mr..
Wilde from his fellow-couutrymen:
our people will perhaps manifest
deep interest. Describing the appear
ance Of the gentleman at one of his
recent lectures, an exchange says;
wilde was we'll worth seeing, his
short breeches and silk stockings
showing to even better advantage upon
the stage than in the guided drawing
rooms where the young apostle has
heretofore been seen. No sunaower,
nor yet Q lilly, dangled from the but
tonhoIO Of his coat; indeed there is
room for reasonable doubt as to
whether his coat had even one button
hole to be put to such artistic use.
But judging his coat by the laws Of
Che Philistipes, it was well-fttiug
coat, and looked as though it had been
made for the wearer as a real coat and
not as a mere piece Of decorative dra-
perry"

one of the many generous

the large audience OF 5000 people on
the occasion. He even refused thanks

CLOSING EXERCISES
OF Miss Acree's Glass, Miss Con-
ways School.

The wee ones" we're a pretty sight
this morning, as they gathered to
gethsr for the last time, to entertain
friends and say good bye" for the
summer holidays. Miss Florence
Acree, their admirable young teacher,
is always at her best in the school
room, and the fine qualities which
have placed her in the front rank as
an educator were easily distinguisha-
BILE this morning. The rare patience
aud gentleness, the fine skill, the
womanly insight into the little ones
mind and heart-these are the charac
teristics which showed themselves, no
less thaR the ability to teach and
train. Those who know speak of the
advancement of these little ores as
something remarkable +; their writing
is clear, large, round and we'll defined:
their reading natural as conversation,
and their knowledge of elementary
arithmetic thorough and practical.
The recitations this morning showed
patience and skill on the part of
teachers, and we're highly creditable
to all concerned. The music, too, was
an attractive feature; but the most
BEAUTIFUL part of the whole was the
devotion Of the children to their
teacher, one whom nature has fitted,
and careful training in the best
schools has prepared, Cor the difficult
but all-important work of guiding
little children into the paths Of knowl-
edge and goodness.
This mornings programme was as

THE Democracy Of the city met in
mass meeting at the courthouse Sat
urday night and chose delegates to go
to Nashville on the Goth inst. The
list is one of the ablest and best ever
made up in Memphis. 1t includes
leading men of wide reputation over
the State, and represents nearly every
shade of opinion and interest. We
will not indorsc beforehand what they
will do, but it is safe to
assume that old Shelby will be solid
for harmony, will tender wise coun
sells, and exercise a conservative and
healthful influence upon the conven-
tiou. Shelby seeks not to lead or 10
dictate, but would consult calmly and
deliberately with friends in the house
of "a friend, as to the best meas :
ures to adopt, the course ia
pursue, and the man to nom nate,
to lead on to victory and a final settle
ment of the State debt question. The
names of those chosen Saturday after
noon by the country districts are not
all known as yet, no doubt proper Sc.
lections of men known to be good and
intelligent have been made. Next
Saturday there will be mass meeting
of the Democracy Of the county to
instruct the delegates chosen or to
take such action as may be deemed
advisable. There should be full
attendance and free discussion.

THE CORN CROP
Greatly Improved in the Last
Ten Days-Damaging Rains.

CHICAGO, June Regarding the
report Of the State Board of Agricul-
ture on the corn crop, the Tribune
says these figures were forwarded by
the correspondents on the first day of
June, three days prior to the advent
of clear skies and warm weather, alike
favorable for planting and for growth.
1t is estimated that, under the favora-
Bile conditions prevailing the first FIVE
days oflast week, corn could be planted
at the rate of 500, 900 acres per day, so
thatit is fair to assume that the out.
look has greatly improved since the
date of these reports; and, with the
continuation of good weather the
rest of this month, the showing on
July 1st will be more encouraging.
From points ia the Northwest reports
about wheat and other crops are Of the
most favorable character.
A Springfield special says: Saturday
nights rain extended over several
counties in this vicinity, and must
have done much damage to the grow
ing crops. The streams are all over.

Cured on the railroads, but all are

track was washed away. Three and a
half inches of rain fell in twenty two
hours, ending at ten o'clock yesterday
morning.

1t appears that there is no County
Democratic Committee for Fulton county.
For many years. Capt. n. A. Tyler was
chairman OF the county committee, but
some years ago he resigned, snd we are
advised that Mr.. Geo. D. Prather was Sc
lected as his successor. siThis occurred in
1878. and that same year Mr. Prathsr
died. Since then, so far IS We can learn
there has been . vacancy. We presume
this to be a correct statement OF the stu
alton.
Some democrats OF the county have OBJ
tanned the impression that the editor OF
the Hickman Cb,srser WAS the Chairman of
the Committee, and hate INDUCED In
censure because be did not Civ. the con-
veniion-democrats the opportunity to
send delegates to the Padueah convention
to assemble Dot ard to nominate . can
| to say that he is not and never WAS ihs
Chairman, and for some yesrs past not .
member Of the Committee. This being
ktrue, Of course, he had no authority in the
matter.
The democrats of the County are divi.
| ded as TO the proposed convention, bat bs
this as It may, We presume that not even
| the anti-convention democrats would OBJ
jeet to the convention democrats sending
delegates to the Paducah convention. The
general negligence OF the democrats OF ths
county in not attending to organisation
matters finds the party under the s1 isl.
ing state Of facts.
