1T BEAT A HORSE RACE.
NECK AND NECK CONTEST BETWEEN

Messrs. Leopold Lehman and George
Blackwell Silently Determine to Beat
Each Other to q Given Point-dreat
Excitement.

II was II o'clock a. m, Saturday, August
is, between Poplarand Washington streets
There was the usual crowd Of pedestrians,
and very unusual and exciting foot race.
The participants entered into the race
without any formal arrangements, had no
stake deposits, and really found them
selves so engaged before they were even
aware OF il.
They were Mr. Lcp Lehman, well
known attorney and Mr.. George Black
well, a deputy sheriff. The former is small
Of stature rotund and about fifty years OF
age; the latter some twenty-eight years
old, tall and slender, but muscular and
wiry.
The race began at Washington street,
was in southerly direction and tcrmin-
ated at the Bluff CITY clothing store, pre-
sided over by Mr.. Sol Halle, corner Main
street and the alley between Jefferson and
North Court.
The parties first found themselves along
side each other, near Washington, and
proceeding in the same direction. Not n

these warm rainy days was crowded and
every purchaser was satisfied.
The other fact demonstrated IL OF
broader reach, il is this: The rapid growth
OF Memphis and its present large popua-
ton could never be so well understood az
when observing the immense crowds in
our store and on the surrounding streets IN
the month Of August, when it is supposed
that the largest part OF the population,
which makes Memphis important were
away. No doubt large numbers are alb
sent, and they are missed by their friends,
but any individual among the vast throngs
assembled at our emporium on the days
mentioned, unless personally interested,
would not be likely to miss them. Mem
phis is no longer a village subject to lndi-
vidual whims, but live city, full OF busy
people-all OF whom we expect to welcome

Have any OF our readers ever thrown
n horsehair into q basin Of water and
waited patiently for it to turn into a
shaker This seeming absurdity is thus
explained by a writer in The HnrtweI
Sun:
"Our friend asked us if we didn't
want to see a horsehair that had turned
to a snake. We did, and he drew a bottle
from his pocket filed with water, in
which was what appeared to be a dimin-
utive snake, five or six inches long,
writhing and twisting as If anxious to
escape from the bottle. When put in the
bottle it was nothing more than n hair
from q horses tail.
ut was then explained that the hair
does not undergo change, but that invis-
ible animalcules that generate in the
water collect on the hair and make it
twist and squirm after the manner of q
snake or worm. 1t is held by good
authority hat many of the so called ami
malcules have been shown to be plants,
having locomotive powers something like
animals; the motion, however, Is not
supposed to be voluntary. But the horse
hair makes a first class snake all the
same" Golden Argosy.

l read in a paper a short time ago an
account of a magnetic well, which the
writer evidently thought was something
wonderful. In reality it is a very COM
mon occurrence to find magnetism in
drilling deep wells. / have been engaged
in the business in this city for eight years,
and it is seldom that / penetrate the
earth to any great depth without coming
in contact with magnetic influences. On
withdrawing the auger when it is highly
magnetized spikes or other iron substances
adhere to it V4h~great tenacity. These
veins or streaks of magnetism occur at
various depths, and sometimes but a few
feet OF the stratum is i~mpregnated with
it. and OF going below its influence Is not
noticed on the suger. We sometimes
encounter magnetism two Or three times
in the same well.-A. Il Botsford in

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Gen. Sheri.
dams condition is again precanous and
the feeling OF hope and cheerfulness
which pervaded the household has once
more given way to gloomy apprehensions
that the worst may occur at any time,
There was a recurrence of heart failure
this afternoon. but the attack was not SO
bad as some that have preceded it.
The physicians were warned of its ap.
proach and awaited Its appearance with
dread and i~orebodings.
Prompt measures were taken to tide the
patient over the f~ainting spell, but only
with partial success, aud his rally from
the effects was slow and feeble. The at
tack left him in a delirium. His manner
was devoid of nervous excitement.
Whether or not hat the attack was less
severe than some others was due to the ad
ministering Of remedies to prevent its re-
currencc canno be ascertained tonight,
though this is not improbable.
Congestion of the lungs has again be-
come severe, and is perhaps more 10 be
feared than the heart. The generals res
piration than at any time previous; feeble
lungs prevented a creation of blood and
recourse was again had to the oxygen
treatment. A dry cup" was applied to
the chest, to bring the watery fluid which
cause Gdema to the surface and this
helped him some. Congestion of the
lungs is nue To heart trouble, and but lit
tie relief en- be expected. 1t was con-
gestion of a similar nature which pro.
dueed hemorrhage. The blood vessels
became distended and finally the walls
gave way and there was a discharge of
mucus and blood.
DR.. Pepper has been summoned, and
will be here about 2:30 o'clock, and with
other physicians and with DIR. Lincoln,
who has also been called in, will hold an
| other consultation.
l A. M-Sheridan has become more
tranquil in his mind since 9 o'clock. He
has had several short but quiet sleeps
and is now sleeping. Pulse and respira
ton are diminished in frequency, but not
in strength and regularity. About l
o'clock his rest was disturbed by several
coughing spells, and his breathing seems
! to be rather stentOriOus.
