An interesting and Valuable
Collection of Old and Mod.
ern Pictures, Etc.

The ladies, and the gentlemen as.
sisting them, who have made and ar
ranged the art collection now open at
245 Main street, deserve the thanks Of
the community. They not only pro-
mote charitable cause, but do much
toward the development of public
taste 1t is really a surprise to find SO
many rare old pictures, vases,
archaeological specimens, historic
relics and articles of virtu in com
paratively new city on the banks Of
the Mississippi. The collection in.
cludes over three hundred pictures
and other articles, many Of them
worthy Of place in any public gal
lery or private collection in the world.
1t is hard to realize that these rare
and valuable art treasures have so
long remained hidden from public
view in our midst. 1t is evident that
there is a high order of artistic taste
and judgment in Memphis, which has
not often revealed itself. 1t is sufi-
cient to say that the collection would
command respectful attention in any
city.
Miss Kate Carls pupils have con
tributed several pictures that are no.
ticeable for warmth of color and de-
cided expression. Miss Gussie Bright,
of Jackson, Tennessee, has two pic
lures in the catalogue: Adversely
and ia Petite Marioe," after lie
Febre; Mrs. Davidson has Mountain
Quail" Miss Annie Finnic, Children
in the Wood" Miss Rambaut, "a
Fisherwoman in Brittany" and Mrs.
VIM. Katzenberger,a handsome screen
in three panels, one with fight OF
birds in it. Mrs. Il. 7. Motley, r. j:
Morgan, Mrs. Marx, Miss Dren-
nan, Misses Galloway, Vance,
Olore, are also well represented.
The portiere (?) in the center was also
done in Miss Carl's studio. These
few names are mentioned as remem-
bered in a stroll through the hall, and
give but an index of what is to be
seen.
a crayon sketch OF chlld's head,
by Mr.. Edwin Dorian, Of this city, will
be greatly admired by all true lovers
of art. 1t is wonderfully expressive,
delicate and finished. A very small
water colorpaintingof Diana, belonging
to Mrs. Ed Belcher and painted by an
Italian artist, is perhaps as exquisite as
anything in the exhibition. To-
morrow afternoon Miss Higbee's
school will visit the hall. Some prom
inent musical people will probably
entertain visitors one or two evenings
soon. All this is delightful, refining
in tendency, and beneficial. Memphis
people have never had such an oppor.
tunity at home. The price Of adlnis-
sion is nominal, only twenty five cents,
and the funds raised will be applied
to charitable cause. Those who
attend will epjoy themselves and do
good at the same time,

PICKED UP.
An Adventurous Waterman
Saved from a Watery
Grave.

A passenger on board of the Anchor
Line steamer City of New Orleans,
related a rather thrilling incident Of
the voyage up the river.
While the steamer was pursuing her
way up the stream about 100 miles
above New Orleans, the feeble cries
of q man in mid stream were heard.
The waters rolled high from the effects
of a fierce March wind, and it was
sometime before the position of the
cries could be made out. Finally a
man in the waters.was discerned. His
head bobbed up on a billow every now
and then, while his arm was wrapped
around capsized dug-out Of small
proportions. The man was close upon
the giving up point, and but for his
being seen from the deck of the boat,
would soon have persisted. Had il
been night time instead Of day, his fate
would never have been known.
The steamer was run close to where
the man foated, her wheels stopped,
yawl sent out by Captain Carter,
and the poor fellow was taken aboard.
He proved to be lengthy, slender
constructed swamp ranger, in charge
OF lot of timber, which party were
getting out of the overhowed woods
near, for the New Orleans market. He
had ventured to cross the Mississippi
in frail little dugout, but though an
experienced waterman, could not keep
the buHeting waves from turning him
over His object in crossing was to
get lot of money to pay off hands.
The exhausted raftman had the
water rolled out of him, swallowed a
lot of warm whisky and put on suit
Of the Captains dry clothes. The
garments were built for 300 pound
man, and the long fellow would have
been completely lost inside of the suit
if he hadn't protruded far enough out
Of each end to know where he was.
The man was rather we'll informed
person and took good -humored view
Of the fun poked at him by the pas
sengers.
He expressed hearty thanks for
courtesies received while on board of
the steamer, as we'll as for having his
life saved, and went ashore we'll
stocked with eatables and drinkables.

Mccullough.
The popular John Mccullough was
rewarded by fine audience last night.
He appeared in the powerful five-act
tragedy of Jack Cade, written orig
inally for the late Edwin Forrest
by Judge r. 7. Conrad, of
Philadelphia, and founded upon an
event in England Of some 430 years
ago. The author twisted the facts of
history little out of shape in his con
struction, but he turned out a highly
interesting play, well adapted for a
forcible actor like Mr.. Mccullough.
He also threw in a number Of side
characters, enough to afford plenty
Of work for the supporting
company. In the leading role
Mr.. Mccullough is exceptionally fine,
and his efforts were duly appreciated
by the audience which bestowed ap.
plause without stint. Miss Forsythe
was beautiful and effective Marianne
and frequently gave evidence Of her
superior capacity as an actress, both in
scenes Of tenderness and tragic inten-
sity. She was called before the cur
tain several times. All Of the minor
parts were satisfactory. Tonight

All sorts OF devices are being
adopted by the present government to

give it their attention first of all

them all in originality, and is likely to,
be as effective as q score of sanitar-

He leaves the paved streets and

the bousemaids by looking boldly
over back fences right down into back
yards, stopping sometimes TO take a

ment.

The pistol carrier, r. 7. Ballard,
who caug ut it for fifty, was sent before
the grand jury yesterday is a fat.
boatman from Grand View, Ind.
Those who know him, say he is a
man Of cultured mind and good edu-
cation. He received careful training
and was brought up in the drug trade,
invested liberal inheritance in drugs,
sold the same for several years after
he grew up and spreed most of the
money away.
The man is reported to be real
good Yellow, with nothing in the world
wrong about him except a fondness
for whisky, He fell from grace up
about home, and running through
with his cash, drifted into the fat
boat business, and was hand on Cap
tain jeff Rays hay boat, which for the
past two or three days has been wind
bound here.
While out on spree night before
last, not knowing anything about the
pistol law in vogue here, he undertook
the prank of making darkies dance
juba at the end of his pistol muzzle,
all for fun. A companion of his
at the time, also carrying a re.
volver just for fun, hearing
about the big chances he was taking,
made a bee line for his Hatboat, and
hid his fifty dollar, sixty day"
frolicer inside of the biggest bale of
hay on the boat. He has no idea Of
digging it out again until after the
boat floats miles out of sight Of Presi
dents Island.

SLOPPING OVER.
The Romance Writers Of the
Overflow.

A river man of years of experience
and observation in the person of
Captain James O'Neal came up the
other day on the steamer Halliday,
and upon reaching st. Louis said some
pointed things to newspaper writer,
all about the overflow, Of which he
takes a very hopeful view. Among
others we're the following, which are
about as striking as anything he could
have promulgated:
"The danger is all over. In twenty
days the water will be off the land,
and by April 20 the planters will be
at work planting. This whole thing
has been much overdrawn. The fact
is flood occurs every year. On this
occasion it was only matter of few
inches more of water. The damage
consists principally in the loss Of
fencing and stock. A small number
OF mules was lost compared with the
cattle. 1t is true the animals on the
mounds are suffering greatly for food,
but that matter will be remedied.
This extension of government aid is a
most demoralizing thing, aud it will
be almost impossible to get the ne
groes to work as long as they can OBJ
tain government grub. The fact is,
the planters are able to take care OF
their own people, and should be
allowed to do it. The Southern boats
have done much work in bringing in
people and stock from the inundated
districts to such high points as Mem
pbis, Vicksburg and Helena, where
they will be properly cared for until
the waters recede. There is no dam
ger Of anyone starving, and in less
than a month the great overflow will
only be a memory. The continued
rise below Memphis is due to the fact
that the great body of water from the
YazoO and Sunfower country is now
running out. That section will be
drained completely within twenty
days. The water is now off of Mis-
souri,, and in the vicinity Of New
Madrid they are offering negroes
$3.50 per day and cannot get them,
because government rations can be
obtained.

TTURRAH!
An Uncared EOr FIock.

Down near Harbert's Landing, fifty
miles or thereabouts below this city, a
drove of stock has occupied a narrow
ridge Of levee for FIVE or six weeks past.
A pilot on one Of the steamers running
from st. Louis to New Orleans re-
marked yesterday that he had passed
the identical drove six different times,
his vessel making three round trips
since the stock were first seen at the
locality alluded to. The only change
observed in the situation each time is
that the numbers show a gradual re-
duction, while the stock. grow thinner
and thinner, some appearing the other
day, when last seen, barely a foot
thick. There were calves and COWS,
half and full grown steers end bull
or two, perhaps a hundred head in
all. The owner or owners of the mis-
cradle brutes appear to have abandon
ed them to their fate. They have
starved to death one by one until now
not over fifty remain. and they have
furnished a heavy supply Of sensa .
tional material for special kilograms
to newspapers up the country. The
pilots say a steamer could easily land
close enough to take the stock of, or
a fatboat might have carried them to
a better place long ago, but the owners
seem Indifferent to their fate, and are
apparently anxious to let the picture
continue for special correspondents to
expatiate upon.

A 100 Milo Ride The interest of tho

A 100 Mile Ride The interest of those
who love to get outside Of the polished wheel
of bicycle and spin along the avenues and
streets is just now absorbed in contem-
plated run of 700 miles, to the Mammoth
Cave, of Kentucky. The question discussed
is not whether the journey can be accom-
plished, but whether the time can be taken
from business and employment to make the
trip. So far only two have decided to make
the trip. One is w. G. Scribner, who is well
and favorably known to every bicycle rider
in the city, and the other is Gale Sherman,
an expert rider The latter rode last year
from Lima, Ohio, to Boston, distance OF
1905 miles in Is days. While the plans
have not been fully decided upon, it is
probable that the riders will start from this
city about the 18th of May. They will first
go to Leesburg, Va, and then take the ma.
tional pike to Lima, Ohio. There they ex-
pect to be joined by a large party of wheelers,
and, taking the Kentucky pike, go directly
to the caves A number of the members of
the Capital City club will accompany the
riders as far as Great Falls, and Dr. II. M.
Schooley will continue to Berrysville, Va.
The latter, two years ago, rode from this
city to Boston. The distance TO the caves
is about 700 miles. The riders do not care
to average more than sixty miles per day.
Some days, when the roads are rough, they
will only make thirty-tive miles per day,
and if the Kentucky roads are as good as
they used to be they can make 100 per
day. Wash. Star.
