We have to inform our reader that MIR.
B. A. Hollenberg, the well known dyer,
262 Second street, is about leaving Mem
phis for Europe, the principal cities of
which part of the world he will visit with
a view to availing himself of the latest
improvements in his business. The de-
mands of society upon European ladies
and gentlemen are so many as to call for
the practice of a sometimes stringent
economy. To this end the dyors art IL
called into requisition, and many

it effects for those who without
its aid would have to sink into nothing
ness before the glare and glitter of those
having more extensive bank account.
It is the practice of economy that Hollen-
berg, with his dyeing establishment, en-
courages. BY his aid your white ds
NAV be made to serve for many bs4ls,
narties. or visits to the theater; and your
silks and laees be made to last as heir

vantage to our maids and matrons, all
whom, while they will regret his depart
ure and hail his return with qualification,
will be happy to know that his absence
will ultimately be their gain. Bon

MORGAN AND CONGRESSIONAL MYSTERIES.
Report says that General Morgan, of
Ohio, who was reelected to Congress in
October, is to be keelbauled at the next
session: In his campaign speeches he is
said to have declared that the railroad land
granting business exercised an undue in
fiuence Cor words to that effcct) on the gen.
t'emen at Washington. 1t is said that an
effort will be made to force him to retract
or to prove his assertions This is very
tender matter, and no doubt will be as
thoroughly and proftably investigated as
the famous trade and corruption in cadet
ships during spasm of virtue in the last
session of Congress.

/ was awakened one morning
by the growing of a cityin China,
under my window and by the
singing of a group of islands be-
longing to Africa, in a cage in
my window. / went down to
breakfast, and found that a group
of islands in 0ceanica had split
upon the carpet one of the coun-
tries of Europe, and breakfast
(which was composed of one CT
the countries of Asia, and one of
the rivers of Idaho, seasoned with
a group of islands in Oceanica,
and a dish Of the favOrite food of
the Irish) was obliged to wait
until it was cold as an island in
North America.


As soon as | had finished my
breakfast / packed an organ OF
an elephant, and started for a city
in the southern part of Michigan,
and just as the train started, a
chain of mountains in Africa be-
gan to fall, and just as we got to
city where one of the cities of
Michigan meet, boy got on the
train, who was one of the ISLANDS
of the West Indies, and just as
he sat down one of the rivers of
Europe bit him on the cheek, and
he yelled out one of the rivers of
Australia. As the train stopped
again, woman came into the
car whose name / afterwards
learned to be a city in Egypt and
a city in Soudan. She wore a
dress of a city in India and of Il
very brilliant city in Anam. Her
shoes were made of country in
Africa and covered with a lake
in Nevada. Around her neck she
wore a necklace made of one of
the islands of 0ceanica. On her
head she wore a white hat made
of one of the cities of Italy and
trimmed with a city in Utah.
On her finger shee wor ring
made of one of the islands of
Oceanica. / gave her paper OF
a city in Ceylon, which she ate
and said it was very good. Ireach-
ed my destination the next day,

fell headlong into the chain Of

Speak gently to the errinG


Ye know not Of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
You may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of weakness came,
And sadly thus they fell.
Speak gently to the erring;


For is il not enough
That innocence and peace are gone,
Without thy censure roughg
1t sure must be weary lot


That sin crushed heart TO beari
And they who share a happier iate
Their ehidings well may spare.
Think kindly of the erring;


And let US not forget,
However darkly stained by SIN,


He is our brother yeti
Heir Of the same Inheritance,


Child OF the selfsame Coz
He hath but stumbled in the pain
We have in weakness trod.
Sneak gently TO the erring;


Thou vet may'St lead him back.
with holy words and tSnes of love,
From misery's thurny track.
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet may be:
Deal gently with the erring enes
As God has dealt with thee.

Women should not vote be-
cause God has not given them
the power to enforce their will,
and law without means to exc
cute it is not a law. Woman's
strength is in her weakness; heI
defense is in her defenselessness.
But such strength and such de-
fense will not sustain govern
ments. The man is a criminal
who neglects to provide the shell.
ter of a roof for his wife, and
stand ready to defend it. Gov
ernment is the shelter to society.
Man must erect it, and defend it.
Woman's law is the influence OF
her virtue, her modesty and her
beauty, and that law, read at the
hearthstone, is transcribed in the
halls of legislation by hands able
to maintain it. Those who claim
that our laws would be purer il
women voted, should know that
they are already better than So
ciety is. Man legislates, not ac-
cording to what he ought to be.
Our laws are as tender of the
rights of women as they are ia
yorable to the welfare of men,
The bounty of our government IS

Our municipal rulers rarely do anything
worthy of appreciation, but they have of late
caused to be carted away and sequestered
from the sight of men the big sandstone
image which used to stand in front of the
City Hall, with one hand pointed toward Del
monicO's and one eye fixed on the Registers
Office, as if in invitation to that useful officer
to come over and take drink. 1t was an
image of considerable bigness and of striking
badness, and its disappearance is legitimate
cause of Thanksgiving. How it got into
the Park we don't exactly remember.
The city was swindled, of course. Per-
haps 1t was sculptured by an aldermanic
amateur, and set up by his admiring colleagues
within sight Of their chambers, so that in in
teryals of their lucrative legislation they could
stroll to the windows and contemplate tho
work of their gifted cOadjutor. Great uncer-
tainty prevailed as to the parsonage whom
this extraordinary bowlder was intended to rep
resent Some said it was Washington. Others
thought the knee-pans rather resemblcd those
of Franklin. The Irish members of the COun-
ell were melted to vote for its purchase by the
assurance that it was either Brian BOru or
Daniel O'Connell. The question of identity
was never settled, and has now Of course been
rendered over to the future archeOlogist. If

his sweet smiles, but may get their hands In
tho Job. We understand that some whose names
now appear as opponents Of annexation are
among the real promoters of Tammany's busi-
ness. AS to the form of opposition, they
already acknowledge the futility OF ordinary
petition and protest, and some OF them pro-
pose to ask for the chartering of the lower half
Of the county AZ o separate city. This Is some

A Senator yesterday made the clever point
in debate that Congress one day talked Gen
eral Amnesty and on the next inquired into
the murder of Union men by Rebels. 1t is an
unfortunate probability that as long as dis
franchisemeut exists outrages will be COM
mitted. Two classes cannot be arrayed by
such political distinctions as now exist In the
South in deadly hostility without continually
clashng. AS the disfranChised class in the
South is in places large and almost everywhere
influential, the other will naturally suffer until
a Generally Amnesty removes the cause OF

EXTENSION OF MR.. TWEEUS EMPIRE
. The good people of Westchester County are
considerably exercised about a project to be
brought before the Legislature TO annex their
lower towns and possibly the whole County,
70 the City of New-YOrk. The Tammany
chiefs have completed the conquest of New
York Island by sweeping into their hands all
the rights, privileges and property of its un-
fortunate residents they have the ballot-box,
the local Legislature, all the Commissions
and all the Offices good, bad and indtier-
ent; our subjugaton is complete, and
the victorious Ring-leaders are looking out for
new worlds to conquer. Some years ago there
was strong feeling in favor of the cOnsOlida-
ton of Brooklyn with New-York, but of late
our sister city has got up q Ring of her own,
whose close and successful imitation of Tam
many leaves little to be gathered from that
city by Tweed In case Of union. What the
Brooklyn swindlers cannot achieve in the way
Of robbing the people, our successful Ring
would not care to undertake, and 80 they seek

II is all well enough for the alarmed prop
erty-owners of Weschester to protest, call
meetings, and pass resolutions They must
know that, il the scheme is decided upon, all
their opposition is but waste of time and
breath. If the matter however, is still open,
their best course is TO call upon Mr.. Tweed,
have a square talk, and then-make the best
terms they can BY frank acknowledgment
of his right and power to dispose OF their
property and themselves. Just W may please

for their physical deficiencies and superfiuous

of their husbands,-with the idea, we suppose,

Limb Of the Law" has been, as we ad-
vised him, studying up the case. The case
10 "a California refer ed to him was the de-
cisiou of contest where one County officer
was made ex officio Tax Collector before bis
election and another was made Collector BY
Act Of the Legislature after bis election.
Both qualified and both claimed the right 10
collect the taxes, and, OF course, the Court
gave the Office 10 the one that was elected
to it. The Supreme Court has repeatedly
beld that Poll-taxss. Ecense-taxes and
Foreign miners taxes are not taxes in The
serse in which the words are used in the
Constitution, and that il is not necessary
that fficers for The collection of these class.
es OF taxes should be elected. As to the
taxes on Real and Personal Property if they
are not paid at the proper time, the District
Attorney collects them, no matter who has
been elected Tax Co olector. This Supreme
Court has never ruled upon any OF these
cases, and as the Court bas been repeatedly
overruliug itself on these points, it may do
SO again. 1t is nothing to us whether the
Sheriff collects the taxes or some other Off
: Ger, but his business places bin in coud-
ton to do it more easily, perfectly and
thoroughly than any other officer, and we
suppose the objections to bis having the
work and pay is because he is Democrat.


If this is SO we can very frankly say to
all concerned that this Legislature is also
Democratic, and is not likely TO legislale
for mongreI officers, especially those who
could not get the strength Of the vote Of
their own party, last Fall.


We say again, if Mr.. Holleubeck will
qualify as Tax Collector and assume the
duties under the law and for the pay therein
allowed, then all are satisfied, or at least we
are; but if additional pay is to be bad, then
Democrat must have it, and Democratic
Legislature will SO decide.

A WORD TO rHE MAN OF THE HoUsG, The first
duty of husbands is to sympathize with their
wives in all their cares aud labor5. Men are apt
to forget, in the perpiexites and annoyances Of
business, that homes cares arc also annoying
and try the patience and strength of their wives.
They come home expecting sympathy and at
tention, bat are too apt to have none TO give.
A single kindly word or look that tells his
thought of her and her troubles, would lift half
the weight Of care from her heart. Secondly,
husbands should make couddants Of their wives,
consulting them on their plans aud prospects,
and especially on their troubles and embarrass-
ments A woman's intuition is often better than
all his wisdom and shrewdness, and her ready
sympathy and interest is powerful aid for his
efforts, for their mutual welfare. Thirdly, men
should show their love for their wives in con-
stant attentions, in their manner OF treating
them, and in tue thousaudan spne rifling Of
fees Of affection which may be hardly notice
able, but which makes all the difference between
a sad and underlined longing, aud CHEEKY, happy
existence Above all, men should beware of
treating their wives with rudcness and incivility,
as if they were the only persons not entitled TO
their consideration aud respect. They should
think of their sensitive feelings and their need
of sympathy, and "neyer let the fire Of love go
out. or cease to show that the flame is burning
with unabated fervor."
