ADJUSTMENTS.
CuriOs.

Any one TO whom the odd, the rare and
the curious are OF interest, should visit the
Art Loan Exhibition now open by the
Women's Christian Association, at 245 Main
street. From the tilmy lace of Flanders, to a
Fejee Island shark-teeth sword; from days,
of-our great-grandmother's reticule to the
high-dress-occas belt of a Kanaka chief
in leather, in wood, in bronze, in glass; ele-
CANT and rude, quaint and conventional,
priceless and of trivial value, owned
by the great of former days, or
valuable only on account of their age, such
a collection as is there to be found has not
before been seen in Memphis, nor is likely
soon again to be. Tastefully displayed in
cases around the walls can be found en-
broidery which excites at once our pity and
our admiration. pity for the terribly sraint
eyes of the worker and admiration tor the
result of the labor; lace flmy as cobwebs
and yellow with the stains of time; shoe
buckles which once graced Washingtonian
receptions; specimens OF savage manufac-
lures; tushes of sea lions and teeth of the
leviathan; camels' hair nets that can be hid
in the clasped hand, yet which spread will
cover a horse; Continental money and Revo-
lutionary, powder-horns; ivory carvings and
tapestry work; shells that have heard the
Pacifc's murmured thunders, and coral
Tapped by the sleepy waves of the caribbean
sea; minerals from Arizona, and cactus stalks
from Mexico's burning plains. There mere idle
curiosity can be gratified, or that more pro-
found spirit of investigation and research
that has prompted every voyage of discovery
from Columbus to Livingstone.

"BUCKET-SHOPS.,
The Cases Against Them Began I'm the
Criminal Court.

Yesterday the case of the Commonwealth
against the "Bucket-Shops" was gun in the
Criminal Court, large number of interested
parties being present. The case will GER
tainly prove interesting not only because it
it is inherently so, but because of the hard,
close fight that will be made, and the infiu-
ence the decision will have on the complex
ion of the Cotton Exchange. The first thing
in order was the reading OF the indictment
which charged the parties with keeping and
maintsining place where divers idle and
evil-minded persons assembled for the pur-
pose OF playing a game called futures"
The defendants are the Tennessee Brokerage
Association and the Board of Trade.
General Turner represents the common
wealth single-handed, while the defense
is in the hands of General Luke
Wright, Mr.. Lehman and Messrs. Taylor q
Carroll. From the array of counsel the
bucket-shops evidently mean business. The
defense did not etfer the demurrer to the in
dictment, and after a selection Of a jury,
Mr.. Folwell was introduced as a witness for
the prosecution. He is one of the losers BY
the existence of "bucket-shops" He identi-
fed certain contracts, and was about to 20
into the inner history OF the bits OF paper
when General Wright raised the point that
it was not admissible TO 90 behind the re-

turns. A long discussion Of law points fol
lowed. General Wright said that even if
two men had bet upon what the future price
Of cotton would be while they were in the
house Of the defendants the latter would not
come under the view OF the charge in the
Indictment He claimed that the bucket
shop business was not even as bad as betting.
The prosecution claims that the bucket
shop transactions are not regular business
transactions; that no delivery Is contem-
plated, and that the whole thing is simos
pure gambling. General Wright said that
ne understood the law to be that if the object
bet on was governed by the bet, it would
then be gambling; but il the bet had nothing
to do with the future result it would not be
gambling; and that if General Turner could
prove that the future price OF wheat or cot
ton Tor Chicago or New York was governed
b. what Mr.. FoIwell bet on it in Memphis
then he would acknowledge that the State
could make out a case. At this point Mr..
Folwell, who was on the witness stand, re-
marked that was the very thing it was.
Judge Horrigan decided to let the whole
matter be ventilated, and accordingly Mr.
FoIWell will be examined this morning as to
the secret history of a bucket-shop contract

COcKRUM, Miss, March 20.-As editors are
supposed to know everything, allow me to
ask: In leveeing the Mississippi river would
levees have to be extended up all of the
tributaries to prevent the water from getting
behind the main levees; and if so, how high
and strong and long would they have to be.
and how much money would it require to
make them sufficient to hold such a flood as
the one now passing? Can you, and will
you give the information sought through the
APPEAL? A Gs

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Taking evidence
in the Star-route trials was resumed to-day
Judge Wylie announced that, as he had been
notified that the government would not be
prepared to go before the grand jury to-day,
he would dismiss that body until Wednesday
morning. Prosecution then took up 40 104
from Mineral Park 10 Phoebe, Ariz. John
w. Dorsey, the original contractor, assumed
the service for S29S2 per annum. Hesub- let
il TO Rerdell, and the contractors pay was
increased to 500, 1888, and the sub-coniractors
pay in proportion. The number of trips
was then reduced, and for dscontinu ance
the contractor was allowed one months extra
pay. On January %, 1880, Brady made an
order wherein he says that in view OF the
unsatisfactory and irregular service rendered
upon this route, he believes it should be
reduced. He therefore puts the contract
back TO its original figure of S29S2, and de-
ducts S49,05l from the contractors pay,
without allowing the usual extra months
compensation. Six days later this order was
rescinded and another made, giving a tri-
weekly service upon the route and decreas-
ing the contractors pay 500, 1888. The i'm
poitance OF railroad connection made by
this route are assigned reason for this
last action. When objection was made by
the defense to the introduction of the SUBJ
contract, the Court remarked that he did not
think ii was put in overt act, but only
TO show The common and inseparable inter
est OF all parties in the contract. A few more
documents completed the record OF evidence
on this route, and court adjourned after the
usual wrangle over the custody of the papers
used in the case.
