A MULE.

How the Man Who stole Him Was
Convicted Of Murder.
A day or two ago there died q de.
crepit old mule, whose niche in equine
fame was small, yet the mere fact that
he was mule flesh, equivalent to 80
many dollars and cents, led to the
h nging OF a negro about eight years
ago.
This mule belonged to a citizen at
800 Court street. and as soon as the
animal breathed his last the owner
PRO nptly notified Chief Davis that
the notorious niue was no more.
One wintry morning eight years ago
the body of John Trainor was found
cold ard stiff in Nonconnah Bottoms.
He, was a young man we'll known la
Memphis and fond OF sport. On this
day he had gone down into the bot.
toms to hunt, and when his body wac
discovered his gun was lying by his
side. He had been murdered and his
pockets rifled, the criminal obtaining
a gold. watch and several pieces oil
jewelry. 4 here was no clew to the
murderer and the crime promised to
be an nnsolved mystery.
Months afterward, when the affair
had almost quieted down q citizen
whose name is not now recalled, lost
a mule, and he found that a negro
had stolen it. The police found the
mule i'll the possession of John
McKeaver. and arrested him for the
theft. When searched ut the police
station several pawn-tickets, were
found on MrKeaver's person. These
tickets were traced to awn-shops, in
search OF further stolen property, and
one OF the pledges vas the watch
hat TIainor had worn at the time o.
his death. The negro was charged
with the murder, and finally confess
ed. He had killed the white man in
order 10 rob him. He was tried,
convicted aud hanged within q short
time.

A pretty decoration seen at some o

flower stones, . standing on small,
round tables. A half dozen are not
too many for a large room. They are
o~ftenest and most beautifully. made of
roses. A suggestion for bathrooms is
to fix a narrow, temporary shelf
around the room at the top of the

bank of flowers and ferns. This effect

Memphis Bridge Celebration.

The genius of man is wildly por~

that now spansethe Mississippi river
at Memphis. It's test of strength
was crucial, but it bore the enor-
nous weight upon it, thereby adding
laurels to the reputation of him who
so ably engineered the construction.
The test was made on Thursday of
last week, by passing eighteen en-
gines, coupled together, over the
bridge. The preparations made for
celebrating were extensive and
creditabIe to the city. Many
buildings along the thoroughfares
were gaily decorated with flags and
streamers. The procession along
Main street Thursday morning rep
resenting the different business
enterprises OF the city, was a novel,
yet pleasing sight. The most en-
ioyabIe scenes enacted during the
festivities were the fire works Friday
night. The representation OF
fountain emitting sprays and balls
of fire of varied hue; monkey
performing upon a gymnasium; a
house complete in all of its parts;
the Nisgar Falls; moving ele.

some OF the scenes presented to
