maintain herself and the extra Legis-
lature abolished the county, dividing
the territory between Hamilton and
Bradley counties. Now itappears
that neither Of these counties win
have any part OF James, and will
have lawsuit rather than have 1t
forced ON them. We would suggest
to Gov. Bob that he call another
extra session and have James county
annexed to Memphis.

TEXAS PONY PRACTICE.

Its Performance by School Children In
the Lone Star State.
Dishonest college students are much
addicted TO the use of ''ponies." But
these S'ponies" are translations Of the
classics, which the boys stealthily con-
suit, instead of getting out their lessons
by hard work. Pony practice by the
school-children of the Southwestis more
literal-a good deal more honorable. A
correspondent Of the New York World
says: At Manor, Tex, in that sparse
ly settled country along the line Of the
Houston and Texas Central railway, I
came to a large wood-colored building
surrounded by caravan of horses. l
counted upward of fifty, all saddled and
each hitched to tree. Every thing
about the house was as still as death.
*1t muse be funeral" said.
Suddenly the scene changed. The
doors of the building burst open and out
broke more than fifty school-children.
Schools outr' they shouted, and car
avan of children scrambled for the
horses. ..s..' s.. BE-.
In moment the youngsters had
mounted and were riding helter skelter
over the prairie. The Texas mustangs
seemed to scent the frolic and kicked
up their. heels as they galloped homo
with the -school-children. With their
dinner-pails iingling on the pommels Of
the saddles and their dresses and
jackets waving in the wind they looked
like mad caravan of Bedouins.
How far did you Gomez" I asked
little tot who sat behind his sister on

why, he's come six miles," inter
rupted his sister. "Jimmy is only five
years old. He doesn't know how far he

Fauntleroy OH a/dancing broncho, "but

WANDERING JEWS.

Mea OF tho Race Said to Be In Every
. Land on Earth.
1t is remarkable that Emin Pasha
should be Jew by. birth, and one of his
rescuers, Vita Hassen, Jew by pro-
fession, says the London Jewish Chron-
tcle- But the presence of these Jews in
equatorial Africa does not stand alone.
From the time of Abraham downward
the migratory instinct has been DOM
inant in the race. .Mesopotami, Canaan,
Egypt Canaan once more. Assyria,
Babylonia, Persia, Canaan a third time,
and then the world at large--such arc
the suggestive stages of Israel's ma
tional migration. The Jews, indeed,
have ever been the "tribe of the wan
dering foot" In an age when move
ment from one country to another was a
rare and hazardous proceeding-in the
twelfth century, to wit-Beniamin, of
Tudela, and Petachia, of Ratisbon,
travelled through great part Of Europe,
Asia and Africa, and were thereby able
to make considerable additions to the
worlds knowledge.
The second Benjamin and Halevy,
who explored the Lelashas, may also be
out-of-the-way corners of the globe, the
Felashas and Beni-Israel and the Cochin
Jews has only been made possible by
the migratory tendency of the race. Tho
four young men who kept last Yom
Kippur in 80 queer yet SO touching o
fashion in the wilds Of South Africa
are among tho latest illustrations of tho
tendency. No doubt tho wandering in
stinct has been strengthened by perse-
cution, but now that peace and quiet
ness are his in greater measure the Jew
still retains his predilection for travel.

The MinIstrels Tonight.

The greatest undertaking in the history of Minstrelsy is that of w. S.. Cleveland, the most successful of Min sstrel Managers, who has drawn from far and near select minstrel products to the number of 280, and formed them into four large companieS One of these very choice Combinations, "Clete- lands Colossal Colored Carnival Mins- trals," will appear at Patton's Opera House tonight, and give one of their rare entertainments. This Company, numbering over half hundred tip toppers," will present neat black performance, that for refinement and impressive originality has never been equaled. The "heavy weights" are Tom Mcintosh, James Bland, Billy Farrell Will Bridge, Geo. Tichner, Harry Eaton, Palmer and McClain, Grant and Williams, and the four Brewer Bros., and were obtained only by the Large purse," held up for them by their clear-headed and far-seeing manager. A splendid corps of vocal artists, dancers, speciality performers and superb band and orchestra, every one of whom is highly proficient in their work, com plete the ensemble. They will inaugu- rate new era in progressive ministrelsy, and make this wnsome style of enter tainment more fascinating than ever. Costumes and stage settings are fur nished on the regardless-of-expense plan, while every detail of stage craft will be used in this crowning achievement. The program is arranged on the too many-ring-circus plan. Fifteen and twenty artists, in their difficult acts, ap- pear simultaneously, another pleasing innovation.

Ata recent state ball Lady Brooke had Nile satin dress, vailed with transparent white silk muslin, all sewn over with scattered diamonds, and having on the shoulders epaulets consisting of two big fish made entirely of large diamonds, with sprays of smaller brilliants gushing from their mouths down over her arms. The Duchess of Leinster had serpents of diamonds coiled all over her bodice and others erect rampant on her should CTS. and chains upon chains of these precious stones were about her throat and arms.
