THE primary elections for delegates
to the Democratic convention will be
held to morrow, the 18th inst, in
Shelby county. The election in the
wards will be under direction Of the
local committees from Z to $3.50 D. m,
and in the civil districts from 3 to $50
pm. The apportionment has been
made out and announced by the exeou-
tive committee This is a matter of
such Importance that it should engage
the attention of our best citizens
The people should turn out and select
good, prudent men as delegates. Itis
more important than ever, in a bust
ness and commercial sense, that this
district should be well represented in
Congress. We have much at stake.
Memphis, the commercial center of
the district, and the emporium Of a
wide and wealthy section of country,
embracing parts of several States, is
just now on the eve of springing up
into an importance heretofore only
dreamed of. The people Of this sec.
tion are looking to Congress for aid to
finish public buildings, to clean out
and straighten navigable rivers, to
reclaim the vast deltas subject to over
flow, and for aid in other matters
These are practical questions that
should not be lost sight Of in making a
Congressional nomination.

All Of these had been missed one
night recently. Two domesties had
been discharged that day, and on them
suspicion rested. Officer McEvoy was
detailed to work up the case. He
called on the aged couple and heard
the story. The lady said her trunk. in
which her valuables were kept, had
twice been overhauled, but the officer
wanted it looked over again. After
some little opposition the lady removed
the clothing from the trunk, leaving
only skirt at the bottom. "TheTe,
said she to the officer, that is all,
and you see the things are not here"
The officer then politelyre1uested her
to remove the skirt. why" said the
lady, 1T has not been touched for
a year" But will you lift it
up" asked the officer. The lady did
so, when, to her surprise, out rolled all
OF the much priced articles. The
couple were profuse in their thanks.
and generously gave the officer two ten
dollar bills and piece Of the wood of
General Washington's coffin as a re
ward for his services. Lest there
should be some dispute over the off
GERS receiving the money fOr his ser
vices, and thus call for a superior
court hearing as to who was entitled to
receive it, the officer divided the
reward with the Chief-giviug him
