very carefully, then, placing the elbow on
the knee, work on the hand, When this is
done, smooth down the wrist aud button the
second button first, then the third, and so
on 10 the end. Then smooth down the whole
glove and fasten the first button. Fasten-
ing the first button last when puttinuon a

man and woman who owned a cow was to give
for this cheese all the milk yielded on GER

fitted up to make it in, and the appointed
day the whole country turned out with pals

Thus, in brief, you have the mere out
lines of one OF the most remarkable COM
mercial episodes connected with single
generation of Memphis history.
Now, all this conveys a valuable moral,
which let us not pass by without applca-
ton, especially to the poor boys OF Mem
phis and the entire country--and say
1.-THE poor boys" because, judging from
both observation and contact, little is TO
be expected from that other class whose
fathers leave them an inheritance of only
idleness and money. II these honored
hosts whose success VIC are all today so
proud to publish, have, within our very
midst, under obstacles and difficulties so
apparent achieved the proud and honora-
BILE distinction which today we celebrate,
how inspiring TO our own American BOYS
ought to be the picture OF hope held w
before them by this grand example.
In conclusion, let us all join in one
hearty wish that the energy, economy, so.
briefly and integrity which have built the
fame and fortune OF this good firm, may
yet serve them in fostering not only theil
own personal interests, but as well, also
those of the giant young city with whose

The most charming local event Of yester-
day was the formal opening by B. Iowen-
stein & Bros. Of their mammoth and superb
new wholesale building on the southeast
corner of Main and Jefferson streets. The
firm by its excellent and business foresight
has prospered from its humble beginning
in this city in 1860, but within the past
few years their popularity as liberal and
reliable business house has grown to
such dimensions throughout the length
and breadth of the south, that
they have felt the imperative
necessity of placing themselves in quarters
capacious enough TO accommodate the vol
llIne of increasing business demands. Ac-
cordingly they had erected the grand struct-
ure which is such monument to their
sterling worth, and an ornament TO the
city. They moved into their new. quar-
tiers some days ago, and having gotten
their immense stock arranged, they de-
cided 10 give the public grand entertain
ment and, at the same time, an opportu-
nifty TO see for themselves the finest stock
OF goods, and the most complete mer-
camille house, in all its ar
rangcmcnts, in the south. The people
only needed hint, that they would be
