The commissioners appointed by Gov
Bate to select site for an insane asylum
for West Tennessee will be in the city to
day and VIII make their hesdqu7rter a;

our leading c,tiz Es will fnd it convenient
to visit them and pTes3 the reasons SO
often repeated in this place, and in letters
and petitions, why the site should
be located in Shelby county, and
as close TO the city as posi-.
BILE. The position OF Memphis, its
relation to the western portion of the
State, its population and rspid increase in
wealth and importance as a comu ereial
center give ii every advantage possible over
any other plsCP, hut when 10 these are ad-
ded the ecoAveniences Of a great and grow
ing city and the widening sympathy of its
people there is nothing left to be desired.
AS TO the hsalthfulness Of the city, the
figures furnished by DR.. ThoTnton's health
reports tell r story that makes that uude-
nisble, aud we feel Enrs the cnmmis-
sion would not think of stamping
Memphis as al uub0althy place merely
because it has been Ill c,Gd by epidemjcs

Says Saratoga correspondent: One
OF the great characters at Saratoga il
an old beau by the name of Andrews.
He has been coming to Saratoga for
the last forty years. He seems to be
known to but few. He rarely speaks
to any one and is still more rarely
spoken to. He is man who is very
square in figure and who is quite
round-shouldered. He has long,
hatchet face, cold. fishy blue eyes,
sunken cheek-bones. a long. thin,
dropping nose. and large, curved
mouth. His face is smooth-shaven.
with the exception of its sides, where
Is pendent pair of very long, thin,
straight whiskers. These are red next
his face; through the centre they are
black; while upon the ends the color
changes TO that of light purple. His
hair is very thin. 1t is parted with
great careiuiness behind his head and
is combed up over bis ears, in front Of
which hang two straight wisps Of what
was once very red hair, but which is
now sandy gray. Upon his head he
slouches 4 black Alpine hat. His
clothes are made several sizes too
large for him so as to conceal the ex-
treme thinness Of his figure. His coat
and waislcoat are dark blue aud Of an
old-fashioned cut. His trousers are q
gray plaid. He Is very neat in his
linen and always carries ia his left
hand a pair of kid-gioyes saw an
old New Yorker recently who knew
him. He said that hc was in his time

A LADY's DRY STOCKING.
Interesting Scene IN a Shoe Store With
q Lady Whose Hosiery
Was Damp.


q Lady Whose Hosiery
Was Damp.
"Yes," said Main street shoe
store clerk to an inquisitive customer
day or two ago, I'VE see all sorts
of socks and stockings in our busi-
ness, from silk TO none at ALL"
"None at all 20
"Well, / don't mean that many
people come in here without any
stockings, but it sometimes happens
that naked feet are exposed to our or
gaze, aud women's feet at that"
"How does that happen z"
"I'll tell you of an instance. One
rainy day last week very stout lady
came in here and wanted to get .
pair of shoes. After looking ct
several pairs she selected one to try
on. | unbuttoned her shoe for her
and tried to put on the one she had
picked out, but although evidently of
the size she wore, found it impossi-
BILE to put it on. The difficulty was
easily seen. Her stockings were damp;
and | told her il would be impossible
to fit her foot while she had on those
damp stockings.
"Oh, / thought of that she said,
and provided myself with an extra
pair, at the same time displaying q
small parcel she held in her hand.
'I told her she had better put them
on and retired to the back of the store
to give her chance. Hearing nothing
from her after few minutes time had
elapsed, ventured to glance around
and saw that she was in an awkward
predicament The fact was she was
too fat and too tightly laced to put on
her own stockings. Well, sir, it was
comical sight to see her Intellectual
plunges in her endeavors to reach
her feet, and the ludicrous sidelong
glances she cast around to see if any
one was watching her. / couldn't
help standing and looking at ber for
minute or two, although my duty
in the case was clear enough. You
see, was there to sell this lady
pair of shoes, and if she bought them
she must have on dry stockings, and
it was plain that if she wore dry
stockings some one would be obliged
to put thcm on for her. So, like q
hero, | marched up to where she was
sitting. What, with her exertions
and the modification she felt, her
face was the color of q welI-boild
lobster, and / have no doubt my own
beautiful phiz was no faint reflex OF
that kind.
"Can I assist you, madam" said
|, in the politest tone / could mus
ter.
"Yes, you can assist me. Pull off
those stockings and put on this pair,
and be quick about it, she ordered,
speaking quite savage like.
"Well, | got her stockings off and
managed to get her feet in the dry
pair; then left her again When I
came back | got on the shoe we bad
tried before without any trouble.
Well she took the shoes they were
q Sc pair-paid for them, and fiounced
out Of the store as though we were
to blame for the display she had
made.
Yes concluded the narrator, re-
flectively, "shoe clerks have queer
experiences sometimes, and see more
human nature in its varied aspects
than many people wot of-Rochestsr

 In the obstacle race Farrell and J Mans divid- ed first and second prize. Hiram Dawson took third and J. L. Haeffey fourth money. l In the half mile run Stephen J. Farrell made re- markable running, covering the distance in jog in 2m 21l s.
 Noremac, the famous walker, did not compete. but gave an exhibition half-mile run. J. H. Raby, the English champion walker, as the list given shows, was com petitor and winner.
 The success of the fair is due to the ef- forts of the officers, seconded by an ener- getic corps of class superintendents. J. 1 M. Lord in charge of horse and athletic classes, Wm. Lee of the poultry exhibit, and David Bissett of the bench show, each was host in his place. In particular should we speak of Mir. Lee, who made the poultry show attractive and profitable I to visitors.
 The one failure of the fair was the bal loon ascension, and this was apparently entirely unnecessary, the manager having
 failed to provide sufficient materials fol
 gas- making, The society is entirely blame less, having given Prof. Moore his price, h' to provide for himself entirely. His pre-
 vious reputation has been good. He ha
 made fine aseents all over the state thu season without single failure. This wa to have been his last ascent for the season : and he evidently spoiled it by too great al , effort to be economical, and thus made {; losing thing of 1t.
