THE RUSH FOB THE COUNTRY.

Every pleasant Sunday. now, and so it
will be for some months to come, the
street-cars running to the country are
crowded with people seeking q little
outing and communion with nature. IL
is a common and universal instinct that
impols the jewellers in cities thus to seek
recreation in places where, "far from the
madding crowd" they can find restful
companionship among birds and ami
mails, and amid tho numberless forms Of
animate and inanimate nature that go
to make up the endless panorama of
field and forest. 1t is a great thing,
after being confined in the city all win
ter, or even during a single hot week in
summer, to get out into tho open where
one car rub up against big trees planted
by nature and tended by God and study
the multiform activities of outdoor
life. To the countryman everything in
the country is mOnOtonous and tire
some, but to the tOwnsman, if he
Is rightly tuned to harmony with
nature, it contains no end of
mysteries and wonders. And especially
at this season of the yea when all
nature is fairly throbbing with life and
every form of vegetation p~ulsating with
growth, it is a source Of the greatest en-
joyment to get out where natural life
can be studied on n large scale and at
closest quarters. Just now vegetation
hereabouts is unusually luxuriant, and
"the Ieafy month of May" is fully MAIN
tanning it's prestige by the wealth of
greenery that stretches in all directions.
Not only is every tree apparently doing
its best to help complete and beautify
the picture. but every bough on every
tree. and every leaf on every bough.
The result is an ocean of verdure at once
pleasing and soothing to the eye and as
exhilaratiug as sweet music. Yes. it is
good to get out of town at this season OF
the year and remind ourselves anew
that God made the country.

DURING the present week Memphis
will celebrate the opening of its trans
mississippi bridge, which is an added
triumph to modern engineering skill.
Its construction has been agitated by
the business men of that city for thirty
years. During that period it has been
repeatedly INSTRUCTED and postponed,
but never given up. The bridge lacks
but 105 feet of being three miles in
length, and it has cost 30, SOC, 900. Con-
sidering the population of Memphis, no
city of its size in the country has erected
such a monument to the enterprise and
courage of its people. The only bridge
across the Mississippi between st. Louis
and the gulf. its completion must open
new channels of trade and tend to the
development of the transmississippi
South.

Ex-CHIEF JUSTICE LINDSAY, of Ken
lucky, who recently declined a position
on the acknowledgements Commits
sion, rendered him by President Harri-
son. enjoys the peculiar distinction of
being Chief-justice of the Supreme
Court of his State without ever having
had a real law case. When he came out
of the Southern army, at the close of the
war. he was O mere boy. He studied
law, but before he had a case was ap-
pointed deputy sheriff. Then he was
elected sheriff, hen State Senator. and
finally, before he could fairly realize it,
was chosen a member of the Supreme
Court and became its Chief-justice, re-
naming on the bench eight years. Not
withstanding the fact that he has
hardly practiced law at all he is re-
garded as a very able lawyer.

MAIL deprodations by employees of the
service are not very frequent. and yet
every now and then we hear of a post
master, clerk or letter-carrier who has
been found guilty of stealing. If they
knew how sure they were of detection,
this, if nothing else. would keep them
in the path of honesty. The truth is
Uncle Sam has the finest detective serv-
ice the world has ever known, and few
thieves have escaped the punishment
their conduct deserves. Especially is
the service of the mail department
splendidly organized and equipped; the
clerks know that, and yet every little
while some one tempts his fate. The
records show that it is an exceedingly
rare thing for o mail depredatorto elude
the detectives, and why they take such
desperate chances is really surprising.

The state of mind of the Mugwumps
over the proposal to elect Mr.. Edward
Murphy, Jr., United States Senator from
New York, still continues. They are
now pointing out that the election of
Murphy will be blow at Cleveland, in
asmuch as he was one of the men that
solemnly declared at the Chicago con-
vention that Cleveland could not carry
the Empire State. 1t will probably turn
out, however, that Mr.. Murphy and all
the other Tammanyites and Hill men
who opposed Cleveland at Chicago were
long ago forgiven, and guarantee fur
nished that nothing which they had said
or done against theProphet should be re-
membered against them, provided they
turned in and loyalty supported the
ticket. This they undou tedly did.
Our Mugwump friends, therefore, will
only waste their breath in protesting
against the elevation of the Hill and
Tammany crowds. They looked out
eagerly before election that they should
be on top if Cleveland was elected, and
now they are on top. Cleyeland's debt
to Tammany and the Hillites is secured

there is anything left of the estate after
