liis Washed Coal
If you want the best coal jn the city you can get it
Illinois Coal Company who handles the celebrated
left of tho threo roads written of af
ter tho vicissHudos of war was but a
small part of that which passed down
the main street of Memphis on June
5th 18G2 and in due time found its
way back to the roads to which it re
spectively belonged
Tho construction of an incandes
cent electric light like the ways of
the Lord passeth understanding at
least to a great mauy of the fair sex
who regard the pear shaped little
globe with ablact distrust and appre
hension A few days ngo a well
known lady whose residcucc is light
ed by electricity winpped up a bun
dle of incandescent globc3 which had
burned out and gave them to her
son with instructions to take them
down and get new wires put in
them
The same lady was told that her
globes needed washing and replied
that she would send for Mr Klusteln
and have him attend to it She was
afraid to touch them herself she af
terwards explained
According to court habitues the
jury wheel is a very successful con
trivance and should have been in
vogue years ago There is no ns
smed probability that tho same men
or the same man will get on a jury
once iu ten years but before the
wheel was established tho sheriff
could summon whomever he chose
nnd often the same men were impan
eled year after year It is said that
there is one man in the county who
was on the jury every year for twenty
flvo annual tcims until the jury wheel
inlcifcrcd nnd he is Mr Love Craig
a well known and highly respected
gentleman
In regard to the advantage In hav
ing now men on a jury it is claimed
that new men always administer jus
ticowth more lavish hand and less
lenioncy although it would be a log
ical conclusion to suppose that to he
often brought into juxtaposition with
vice crime and criminality would
render a man more obdurate and
more severe on those who deserve
punishmont
Hut lawyers claim that it is just
tho reverse and base their nega
tions on observation

A jike is going the rounds of the
swagger set apropos the amusing
mistake of a popular youug lady who
u tended one of the recent balls At
tired in eoning dross sho was driven
with her escort in a cairiagc to the
scene of merriment When she went
up mto ihe ladies npartmeut to re
move her wrap and put the finishing
touches to lcr toilet sho discovered
to her horror that instead of tho
light opera cloak ohe usually wore
sho hud in the hurry and confusion
incident to departure donned her robe
do nuit Her young gentleman es
cort fortunately didut know the
difference but the youug ladies who
were lot into the joke have since had
many a gleeful giggle over it
