gives leading speeches on great issues.
The fourth book is a reprint of Jeffer-

fifth book gives the text of existing

-tabulated history Of politics, with 115
pages Of the most interesting tables

connected in the remotest degree with
the politics of either State or nation.
A moments reference will give any
desired fact, whether on tariff rates,

Presidential elections are all embodied
in two tables, one showing the cleo

the very beginning to date. The in
dexing of the entire work is complete,
the indexes to the several books being
separate and full, so that acquaintance
with the book is not necessary TO the
instant discovery Of any fact or theory.
Altogether il is a very useful book of
reference, and the only serious objec-
ton or criticism we offer is, that while
it comes out under a non partisan
guise, and is so in a statistical way,
apparently, it is so constituted as to
meet the views Of the Northern par
tisan mind. The work is handsomely
bound, and the price ranges from S.

The report hat Rev. George A.
Lotion, formerly of this city, is in
volved in . serious scandal, will be
received by all who knew him in this
community with feelings Of mingled
doubt and pain. He came here from
Savannah, Ca, and was a very ac-
ceptable and useful minister. During
the war he was in the Confederate
army, and at its close he entered upon
the practice Of the law, and was quite
successful; but in a few years he Joined
the Baptist church, and conceived it
to be his duty to enter the ministry.
His course here was rather brilliant,
and his departure to a wider field Of
labor, whilst not a surprise, was a
matter Of regret to many friends and
admirers. Since he went to st. Louis,
some five years. ago, the Memphis
public have not heard much of him,
but it is understood that, as pastor of
the Third Baptist church, he main
tanned his high intellectual and Chris
tian character. The charge is that he
started to Florida for his health, got
drunk on the train, grossly insulted a
lady and used p%rOfane language. The
story goes hat he followed the fright.
ened lady into another car, where
some passengers championed her cause
and gave the Doctor a black eye. In
any event he left the train at Vim
cennes, Indiana, and returned to St.
Louis. He admits hat he had been
using a preparation of rock and rye
and glycerine as a sedative, given him
by his physician. His wife states that
she put the bottle in his valise. He
denies the charges altogether, except
hat he had been drinking slightly. 1t
seems from the telegraphed report
hat his v system is broken
down, and that he is in a feeble state
Of body, if not Of mind. The affair
is quite deplorable in any light,
but for the present we think
hat all who know the gentleman here
will be inclined to place the most
charitable upon his con-
duct. The world generally in the
church as well as out of it is apt to
jump at hard conclusions when a
minister goes astray or is under q
cloud, forgetting that he is but human
at best. There is no man so good or
pure or high that he does not at times
need forgiveness and the mantle of
charity. Christ said to a crowd that
was jeering at a fallen woman: LET
him that is without sin cast tho first
stone" and they all had business else
where. Doubtless many Of them
knew how the woman came to sin.
One mistake or false step, if repentcd
Of, should not blast the life of any
one disposed to try to do good. but the
world is exceedingly virtuous in the
standards by which man and woman
are judged, although never so loose in
private practice. 1t is expected Of a
minister as Of a woman that he will
be perfection, and woe to the man or
woman who once goes wrong and is
exposed. After that theirs is a living
death from which there is no escape
save in the Lethean tide.

in clothes quite characteristic of the
girl. The dress was Of pure white,
tasteiully trimmed and cut low at the
neck. Her hat was OF the Gqinesbo
rough style, turned back from the
forehead and embellished with feathers
and flowers to add to its attractiveness.
Her stockings we're OF fashionable hue
and her shoes new and of the best
make. Around her neck was a double
row of silver beads and on her fingers
were several rings, one Of them having
a gold dollar pendant, on which were
engraved her initials. AS seen a few
days before her death in this costume
Jennie looked very attractive, but did
not give the impression that she was
possessed of an over-abundance OF
modesty. 1t could be e at a glance
that she was fond of admiration and
an acquaintance could easily be formed.
The girl was of a striking type OF
beauty. Her eyes we're black, large
and lustrous, with dropping, dark
eyelashes. Her features were regular,
the mouth particularly pretty, with

remarkable whiteness and purity.
This gave credence to the report that
she was an habitual arsenic eater, but
those who knew her in early childhood
say that her skin was always white
and clear. Her form was we'll rounded
aud her carriage graceful.
