The pupils of the intermediate depart
ment Of Miss Conway's school presented
this morning beautiful little play
"Grandfather's Rag Bag written for the
occasion by Miss Conway. 1t was the
birthday anniversary of grandmother
seventy years ago, my darlings; seventy
years ago" The little ones had closed
The doors upon the old folks and taken
possession Of the house, including the gar
ret, with its stores of old things, the family
treasures that have story Of their own.
Among these grandmother's rag bag was
emptied of its quaint relics. A good fairy
suddenly stepped in upon thescene, waved
her wand and endowed the old scraps
with the spirit of young life. OWE Mathes,
Annie Rice and Ada Allyn, dressed in the
quaint costumes of by-gone time, per-
sonifed these old rags, and we'll they did
it. Each story was not only beautiful in
itself but beautifully told, The fairies.
Floy Latham. Mabel Smith, Sarah Low
enstein, Maude Watkins and Lucy Nell
son-were the embodied spirits Of grace,
sweetness and beauty. Their parts were
finely done without an exception. Dear
old Grandmother Bruce received all this
homage with becoming dignity and love-
illness. The grandchildren, too numerous
to mention, clustered about her and lis,
tened wanderingly to the strange
stories told by the personihed scraps
and the pretty fancies of the
fairies Now and then one of these little
ones contributed poem or song to the
enjoyment of the day, and just here is an
occasion to speak of the skill shown in the
training of these children All were good
many were eycellept in ths'best seQsA, and
those who listened wondered by what
means children SO young as they were
brought to such degree Of excellence In
the beautiful but difficult SIT of eloeution,
Annie Leidy, Beatrice Vendig, Helen
Vendig, Mabel Tagg, and Hattie Ensley
were these little elocutionists, some Of
whom give strong and sure promise of
leadership in the art. The recitation by
Hattie Ensley would have heen difbcult
for 3 professional, but the little girl met
Us difficulties anu Won for herself Sspceess
Of which she may be proud,

and pathos, and bears every mark of the
true poet. It's Interpretation was exceed

old-young grandmother that anybody
ever saw, and her part was exceedingly

Miss Lewellyn has reason TO be proud
of the day, whose success adds another

Though he has never been father,
except to the city, Chief Justice Had.
den can deliver a fatherly lecture Of
the most touching and penetrative
character to the hayward children
who are taken before him for cutting
monkey shines and doing bad.
The illuminated public landing is
the admiration of all river men after
niRhtiall, and complimentary comment
is frequent. 1t is stated that next
autumn, when the business season
opens actively, the electric lights will
be increased from three to six, or
more, if needed.
Quite a party of Memphis people
are going up to Bon Aqua Springs to-
morrow 10 inaugurate the opening
season. This is comfortable, healthy,
we'll managed watering place, within
easy reach of our city and Nashville.
As some members Of the press will be
along, the public may hear more about
the place little later in the season.
mot the slightest chance prevails
for the river to cut through to Hatchie

says another, and the same difference

cades. During all that time the
turbid river runs on pretty much as it

1t was showery over at Little Rock
this morning, and considerable rain
fell up ia Kansas last night. Local
rains area predicted for to-day in the
entire are which makes up the lower
Ohio, lower Missouri and West Gulf
State district. This will be followed
by breezes shifting to westerly, thence
northwesterly, and a cooler tempera
ture.
The customhouse since il has as
sumed full proportions is no longer a
subject of ridicule. but the beautiful
structure is now cause of complaint
from the fact that it cuts Madison
street off from a full enjoyment OF the
river breezes, and it shuts off view
which used to be regarded with favor.
The house was, however, put there to
stay, and compliments will have to
stand it.
Twenty one years ago to-day a gun
boat battle occurred in front of this
city. The Confederate feet was al
most annihilated on that occasion.
One or two Of the vessels escaped in a
badly crippled condition to the Yazoo
river, one or two falling into the
hands of the Nationals, and several
were sunk and destroyed. IThe Fed
eral forces took possession of the city
on that day, and ever since the flag Of
the Union has been its recognized
banner.

The beautiful opera of "Iolanthe or,
The Peer and the Peri" travestie or
satire on the English House of Lords, and
Gilbert and Sulhvan's latest success, will
be rendered at Leubrie's Theater to-mor-
row night by sixty children, under the
management of Mrs. Fits, who has been
laboring with her accustomed skill and
energy to train the little folks. The en-,
tertainment bids fair to be highly artistic
and pleasurable success in every respect.
The Little Red Riding Hood.
The rendition Of THE Little Red
Riding Hood, at the Greenlaw Opera
house last night, was clever in the ex-
treme, and the entertainment was wit
messed by very large audience. The
performance was in every respect sue
cessful.
The Italian Picnic.
This afternoon and evening the thir-
teenth annual picnic Of the Italian Socie-
ty occurs at Estival Park, and delight
full time is assured for sll participants
The Italians have way Of making every
body enjoy themselves at gatherings Of
this kind, and they have exerted them
selves in the preliminary arrangements,
therefore their open air festival in the
park is certain to prove attractive.
The Y. M. III. AS Last Night.
The Young Mems Hebrew Association
gave an entertainment last night which
proved most enjoyable in every respect,
to very large attendance, including the
members of the society, their invited
lady friends and others. Their dramatic
work, 1.-THE Last Loaf, was capitally
presented, all of the characters being
acted as if the players were educated to
the dramatic profession. The part of Kate
Ashton by Miss Dora Boshwitz is men
toned as a most clever impersonation;
that of Lily Ashton, by Miss Cora Beatus,
was excellent, while the male parts were
carried SO we'll that high commentator
was bestowed upon the players, After the
drama the guests INDUCED in hop and it
was very late or rather early, this morn.

The Edison Light and Others,

In view of the great interest now being
taken in the introduction'of the Edison.
Electric Light and the fact Of the rupid
advance in the value Of this stock, name
ly, from 305 to 1875, in New York week
ago, it viii interest the readers of the
LEDGER TO know that the report Of the
Paris Exposition Commissioners was
highly Ia IL favor, In ascertalning the
number Of lamps per horse power pro-
duoed by three competing Systems, they
found that the Edison averaged 1878
lamps, the Swan l07l lamps, and the
Maxim 948 lamps, while at the same
time the light indicated by candles was
for each as follows: The Edison 1854, the
Swan 1872, and the Maxim 1927, thus
showing large item Of economy in the
production Of light by the Edison system.
The demand for this light by business
houses and priyaie residences in New
York is ut the present time greater than
the ability of the company TO supply.
Surely Memphis will yet offer a fine field
for such Investments some of these days.
