there were perhaps some good men

worst of all. Mr.. Neel, who, by the
way, is a Baptist, had the conclusion.
and after giving the law and the
facts a passing notice, decided to
say something in defense of the moral
character Of his client. In this he
grew earnest and eloquent, and the
OLD darky became very attentive and
solemn and great big tears stood in bis
eyes, and the court and crowd looked
serious. The speaker having succeed
ed in moving his audience was himself
moved, and closed by saying:

client, instead of all of this abuse and
TRADE, ought to have the welcome
plaudit, well done. thou good and
faithful ser amt, for thus devotinQ
his time aud talents in pointing his
people TO the Lamb of God that taketb
away the sins of the world" This
was more than the old darby could
bear and, with the tears running
down his cheeks, he raised his hands
and eyes heavenward, fell upon his
knees and said: LET us line in
prayer. The court, lawyers and by.
ISLANDERS looked on in amazement while
the old darby prayed at the top of his
voice. AT the conclusion of the prayer
the court rendered a judgmentin favor
Of the plaintiff for 81 so and cost of
suit. Who will now say that the
prayers Of the righteous are not heard
and answered in a Justice court.

The rumor which circulated here
Thursday and was mentioned in the
LEDGER of that day, to the effect that
General Grant fell dead that morning
in New York, was not confined to
Memphis, nor was it originated here,
as the following from the Chicago

started on the Board of Trade to the

dropped dead in the Rast. It spread
with great rspidity, and soon was a
general subject of comment on the
street. At IL O'Clock no official in.
formation verifying the rumor had
been received at the Western Union
telegraph Office, and Supt, Tubbs was
of the opinion that such would have
been the case had the report been true.
r'; re was of the opinion that the rumor
was false, and was one Of the many
that are Just now being circulated
throughout the country. Opinions
similar to that Of Mr.. Tubbs were
epteFtaihsa by business men gener-
ally.
Since the burial Of his mother at
Cincinnati few months ago, end his
trip Immediately after to several
Southern States, General Grant has
been inlthe East, He has visited sew
ersl summer resorts, but has spent
the greater part of his time al his
eastern home. Last week he gave
800 to a little niece, the daughter
of a sister who sailed on Sat-
urday for Europe. When he
did 80, and at the bank where the
money was obtained, he said it was the
first 500 the little thing had ever pos
5essed.
