Mrs LANGrRY received an invitation Fl ON
the ladies OF the First Presbyterian church,
Memphis, to attend dinner. She accepted,
but did not turn up at the appointed hour.
This was very rude in the Lib. II she had
invited the fresbyterisn ladies to attend h, T
atinee, and sent tickets, they would have
been there, to 4 woman, as sure as fate. On
the other hand, the Presbyterian ladies
wanted TO make a show Of Freddie's pet for

TIE Philadelphia Times says: "The young
man who kills himself in the presence OF bis
sweetheart ia becoming painfully common.
The latest victim to this mistaken idea is a
young man in Waynesboro, Franklin county.
The young woman ssys that she does mo-
| love the young IAN any better, now that he
has proved his love, than she did while he

ings with a view OF impressing upo1 the
Legislature the importance OF subm itiing &c
the people such an amendment.
Mr.. LABoUcHERE, in the pages of thu
London Truth, thus describes the "Masher,'
term that has recently been imported, ant
ia now extensively understood in the British
metropolis, where Freddy Gebh ardts are no
altogether unknown: HE is a fungus, no
an honest mushroom or even eclabl'
tesdstool, but a wet, spongy aud unwhole
some emanation frem rotten and poisonous
soil. Ridiculously overdressed, starched al

jewelry, decked out with flowers like foot
man, idiotic in countenancs and sparse il

he has become an observed form of socia
cold veal"
