intelligence as to tbe people, their habits,

pearance of Bishop Haven's work, we
have not bad a reliable biok on
Mexico. It is true wo have had
letter by tiuriss and correspond

admirably illustrated volume, we bad

fully and clearly introduced us to Mexi
co as it is to-day in tbe bands of tbe
most stable and the most libral gov

Haven is all over American, and views
"our neighbors" from the lofty stand
poibt of what we indorse and he believes
is tiue Americanism. Hedoeanotfiad

never permittlcir a good thing to etiape
him. He omits nothing likely to in

tneu makes himself ft It as an enthusi

liberality which demanding litprty con
cedis it. He deacribss every phase cf
Mexican life: the markets, farms, pas

religious and political movement? and
their effeita and tendencies. Tbe mora'a
of the masses, as well as the upper class
es, ate discussed and the labors of bis
po-religionista of tbe Protestant faiths
dwelt upon at some length. In a word,
it 13 Mexico as seen by a shrewd, shaip,

own country for its superiority over all
others, and would willingly Eee Mexico
improved up to all its excellencie?. An

and put together in the best stylo of the

he ever can hope to us as the missionary

(irauil l'ncrmit for Iln-American
Ceiiifiiulnl.
In tbe Philadelphia Press, of Novem
ber 3d, wo find a long and interesting ar
ticle upon Mardi Graa, a pro:lamatimi
for its obsetviuce In that city next Feb
ruary, and an iudoftcuiebt of tbe New
York Graphic1 suggestion to hold a
grand iuUrualional carnival during the
Amm an Centennial. In its introduc
tory remarks, the Philadelphia Press
aoya of
TOE MEMPHIS MARDI GKAS.
"The ludicrous caricatures, gaudily
aceoutr. d cavaliers, rcllicking moti
a'roUiej,pompus clisrioteeis, allegoric
al ligurts, and dazzllug cavalcades,
which form the gorguoux aud motley
prtcaeioual, have, with all their glories
atd mirih-prov king phaaae, been p ir
trayed for us again and again, aud yet
not a single northern c.ty has fiusfar
attemp'.ed lo reproduce them. The car
nival at Memphis last year was pro
nounced by t.avtl-ra to be the fln'st
spectacle ever witnessed by mankind In
any part of tho world. Throughout tbe
south the very highest classes take
charge of thecelebiaMon, and the asser
tion cf a New York cotemporary that
tr.e 'e oirseueas of tbe uneducated and
unreliued people who take part in it
, sometimea gets the better of the proprie-
lie,' is as mucn a mittage as tne asser
tion' iu the lame article that 'the Mardi
Graa in New Orleans last year waw.n
occasion of very great interest' (yMre
was no Mardi Gras at Now Orleauimst
year); or :i3 much a mistasc as another
ateition by the same pen, which states
that 'peifonrlances of this kitd do not
flourish among the Teutonic races.' "
As to tbe unrivaled grandeur of the
Memphis Mardi Gras, the Pcss ia cor
rect; but it ia iu error respecting the fete
at New OrleaLS. Mardi Gras was ob
served with characteristic pomp in that
city Iat year (1S74), but no carnival was
held thero this yia- because of tho
political condition of afl'itira in Louis
iana aud the Crescent City. In regard
to the gioit.
CENTENNIAL CABNIVAL,
the Preis has this to say: "In Memphis,
Mobile and New Orleans the cities arc
in truth, as well as in name, surrendered
lo the revelers, and yet, though it is
well known that no arrests can be made,
there never lias occurred a murder, a
theft, or a misdemeauor on Mardi Graa
day. It would probably not be safe to
so surrender a northern city (where
tbere are so often reguiarly-organized
gangs cf roughs) to tbe people; but the
pjlice could Do instructed to give a wide
lititude to purely innocent hilarity,
aud it is not probable tbat any
ill result would ensue." The car
nival for next Mardi Graa day
will certainly take place, for the
preliminary arrangements are already
completed, and it now only remains for
tbe residents, not only of Philadelphia,
but of other cities, to do all in tbeir
power to aid tbe 'Old Mainnerchor' hi
tbeir eflort to establish one real, una
dulterated holiday in the north; for on
the success of this carnival will depend
au cshiljitiou-carnival which it is hoped
can be given during the Centennial.
Thepeojrle of the north and west, and
not a few Europeans, have never yet
bebeid a Mardi Gras spectacle. A short
time ago tbe New York Graphic sug
gested tbat a grand international exhibition-carnival
might be hel 1 during
the Centennial, and the suggestion has
met with a leady response in all parta of
the country. But unless the north
should Jirst Imc at 1 ait
ONE SUCCESSFUL FESTIVAL
the affair would seem rather one-skied,
and this la one retain why tho fate of
the Centennial carnival may depend
i-oruewhat on the regular Msrdi Gras of
next February. Let the first be made a
success, and the second will be assured.
Huudred? of thousands of dollars have
bsen invested in carnival costumes
in the south, and as tena of thousands
will be invented by tho north in the pa
rade of next Februmy, the mag
nificence of a display, in which
the south and north would join hands
and Europe would liberally assist, could
perhaps be fancied by a lively imagina
tion. Tbe streets of Philadelphia would
bo crowded for miles and miles with the
rawt marvelous collection of the won
derful, tbe beautiful and the grotesque
ever gathered in one hemisphere. It
would be a spectacle which babiea would
not forget, though they should live to
witnessthe second Centennial. All the
arrangements for the exposition, all tbe
numbera on ita programme, have been
eet apart for some serious, practical ob
servance or commemoration. Let U3
forget for a while tbat
'LIFE IS REAL, LIFE IS EARNEST,'
let us throw a ide our morbid anxiety
ft r tbe mi rrow, and for once, since the
sedate briid-brima and sad-faced Pil-
grims effected a lauding, try to fancy
that we have for a few houra quaffed of
the sparkling waters for which Ponce de
Leon so long sought in vain, and permit
not only Prince Carnival, but tbe far
famed 'Rex,' with his tri-color of pur
ple, yeilow and green, to draw us out of

tion anooportunity of enjoying a hesrty,

THE MEHPHI OF MEMPHIS
will doubtless be glad to take pait in the
Centennial carnival, for it will not be
much additional expense to unite with
the people of other cities in giving such
eclat to the graudeat and most glorious
occasion that America has yet observed.
Possibly tbe Ulksof this city would also
be represented in the Centennial carni
val. In view of the recognized fact that
Memphis has eclipsed all other cities in
the magnitude, elegance and beauty ol
its Mardi-Gras psgoants, carnivals, and
other features, that" attend such occa
sions, we supgoit to our Philadelphia co
temporary the propriety of our olty
being awarded the representation in the
anticipated celebration of mirth, fun
aud pleasure, which It merits and ia en
titled to for reasons thus briefly men
tioned. We hope this question will bs
conaideteJ aas) determined right away,
fir fifich gentlemen aa General Col
ton Green, Joseph Specht, Esq , and
Lou Leubtie ('-Count de Nose3,r), who
have inaugurated and perfected tbe
Memphis Mardi Gras, should be as
signed no unimportant and prominent
part in the management and direction
of a grand international carnival, which
tbey aro so w'!l fitted, both by experi
ence, tisio ant intclHgence to conduct
successfully and triumphantly. No city
can claim a betlfr and more efficient
connoistcur of what ia leuired for the
proper arrangement and perfection of
such a display as we would like to see
made during ths Centennial. .A gentle
man uf duo culture, artistic ta.te and
practical exrerience, General Green,
would honor any cuty that may be in
trusted to him. Of Mr. Spech't, wjj can
say that the geniality, mirth and origi
nal goodness of his disposition would
give him a prestige in the occasion
which but few gentlemen of our ac
qualmance can boast. As to Lou Loubrie
(Count de Noses;, be is perhaps the only
map in America who, ia appearance,
linr.irT talent, ia a natural ', Mo-
hp." His pbyoioguoiny in'lta natural
tfcta surpasses Fox or any artist who
hni vcr appeared in a JIumpty Aurppty
,.. nautomiaje where mirth and
f fllltv are feaui'r1 t0 3P!Jy person
SfMnLS won.- credit to the
nation, and bis very face, wiu. 'Ul luc
aid of cosmetics, or the fastidious ca-"
prices of artistic ornamentation, would
not only elicit tbe laughter of all the na
tions of earth, but arome mirth aud joy
among the representa'ivf a of tbe uni
verse. "Rex Carnival!" and "Mouiua"
i ave to be repretented. Memphis has
the iest specimens in the world; her
Mardi Graa celsbratioca are of unsur-pa-M
-1 magnitude and unapproachable
t-xi e 'ence in every respect. If tbe na
tion would hold a grand Centennial car
nival, let Memphis aod her men whom
we have named ha given a proper repre
sentation. Then we feel assured the
event would realize tbe anticipations
of all, and be made a feature of great in
terest in the Centennial. We hope the
PreM will consider this subject and give
auction to our suggestions. Let us
hear from you.

LEAVING LOS TUNAS,
wo pas3 over the Santiago river, and
down by the Coast Range mt untaius to
Tustsn, a thriving little town just
springing up in the midst of a rich ag
ricultural country. It has two stores
and the usual number of smaller busi
ness housea, "and the country around it
is rapidly settling up with people from
all parta of the eatern Btates. A few
milea brings up to tbe Han Joaquin
ranche, which is ownei by a company
in Sau Francisco, who, a few years ago,
did their own herding. They purchased
the lanche of forty-eight thousand
acres at fifty cents per acre in green
backs. W. French, tbeir agent, took us
to the corral!, where tho clipping
was going on, and showed as fifty Span
iards, all busy shearing or clipping the
sheep; and it is quita amusiag to see
them catch a sheep nud set him on the
big enct, where he sets perfectly quiet
until he is divestc i of his weiring appa
re'. The sheep ia then turned locse,and
the hand turns to the agent, who is sta
tioned in or near the center of the work,
and takes a check and ao on through
tho day and at night tbcie checks are
redeemed in gold by the agent. Tbe
average clipping is sixty per hand. Then
tbere are men on the other side of the
counter theso clips are handed to,
one who lies them, each to itself, and
hands them to tbe man packing in the
sack. At this corrall there were forty
five thousand head, but on the entire
ranche there are one hundred and forty
five thousand bead. They are cutting
up into twenty and foity-acra lols
twelve thousand acres of their land,
nearest the town, which is to be put on

as can be. This country is being very
mucb sought after, aud is rapidly tilling

though it is not brouzht here half as fast

Meridian. Novembsr 3. The elec
tion began and ended hero yesterday in
a moat quiet and orderly manner, and
no distuilunce of any kind occurred.
Thtra wt very great earnestness and
determination displayed from the start.
and it waa kept up until the pol's were
closed at suadown. There wai bard
down electioneering all the way through,
and every white man tried to convince a
deluded negro to turn from the error of
his ways, and vote with tbem wbo sus
tained them, and the results will show
the succeaa that crowned their efforts.
In the afternoon teletrrams began to
come in.lnjrticating a glorious victory
irsra atrwir tbe Htat!. 'iney weie
read al the polls to a joyou3 people, who
received each dispatch with Joud ap
plause. Moseley, the Radical candUJate
for sheriff", gave it up aa lost early in the
lorenoon, with the remarK tnat nia
"ne?t was well feathered." There waa
no whisky to be had, and, consequently,
nobody was drunk. The topers were alt
as sober aa Methodist preachers.
While the vote for this beat waa be
ing counted the young men sent up
fireworks and kept the old twentv-four-paunder
in a continuous roar. Full re
turns have not yet been received from
several boxes, but it is estimated that
tho county has gone Democratic by
about seven hundred and fifty majority.
Every store in town was closed, and
everybody, especially the young men,
worked Use Turks. The Radical candi
dates made themselves quite scarce to
ward noon, and nothing more was seen
of them until this morning. Chancellor
Dannis, yclept the "hero of ninely-six
battles," deposited his voto soon in tbe
morning and then made himself
"acarcer'n hen teeth" the balance of
the day. He is one of Ames's minions,
who was put here to do the dirty-work
for tbo party in this county, after Ames
fouud out that Chancellor Christian was
"not tbat kind of a hair-pin."
The German Emperor in Iiaiy.
Orrespondence New York Post.1
Tne Jesuit organs at Rome aro almost
beside themselves with rage at the idea
that the establishment of closer connec
tions between the German and Italian
goverumenla might possibly lead to
even stricter measures against the papal
hierarchy. The Voce Delia Verita, the
pope's ssmi-oflicial organ, utters tbe
most rabid sentiments. It declares it to
be ''a disgrace for Italy that she should
receive at Milan tho successor of a Ger
man emperor (Frederick Barbarossa)
who twice destroyed that noble city in
his conte-ta against the Lombard
league." It eveu accuses the present
G- rman ruler of "a secret ambitious de
sire to take possession of the peninsula."
This is mere infantile folly, not worthy
of tbe cleverneas usually attributed to
the followers or Jboyola. William i. has,
io his time, done cruel things when
lighting, in 1843-49, against the demo
cratic nsirgs for German freedom and
union. Whatever" may have been his
more recent acta since 1870, those earlier
deods, os well as his desr jiic colicy
durirg the conflict with the Prussian
bouse or deputies, will not stand to hia
credit in the recorda of history. Ger
man democrats have to say something
on that account. But the Italians have
no special cause for a grudge. They
gained Venice in consequence of a de
plorable struggle between the Germans,
on tbe result of wbica Napoleon III
built hia plot in 1870. Thev obtained
Rome through tho German victories
which gave tbem freedom of action as
against the pope. Germany, which
battles against tbe papacy, is to-day the
best friend of Italian unity and inde
pendence. Republicans may turn aside
from the complimentary meetings of
CroWtosd headtf for "WtiOm Jhev cannot
possibly pnteitain any sympathy. But
the very fact of William J appearing at
Milan shows bow absurd is the Jesuitical
comparison with tho times of Bsrba
rossa. Moreover, the Voce Delia Verita
might Know tbat tho despotic Redbeard

Another appreciative audience assem
bled at tbo Grenlaw Cperanouse last night to
tioar Evi-uovernor Vance's lecture, entitled
"Ihe Scattered Notion." The subject was
handled with the Sime admirable ease as upon

Ex Governor Vance may lecture.

Guards will bo presented with a handsome
Hag made and donated by the young ladies of
Memphis. Tho presentation will take place
in tbe Exposition bull, and after the cere
mony tbe guards and their invited friends

Ilavcrlj ' Minstrel?.
Lan night HfverJy's minstrels clcsed
their ebgaaement at the Memphis Theater to
a got batorday-nigni's audience, unnug
their cDgagement nere they have afforded our
citizens excellent ODtertatnments. Tbe reper
toire of tbe troupe comprises a great ueai mat
is excellent, and with such artists as Barlow,
U'linnn. Primrose. West. French. Fiillman,
and others, they will nave a career of brilliant
prosperity. Some f ettures in the programmes
as presented here are rather tiresome and not
n..w. hut the essential parts of each entertain
ment are anything but rechauffe. The e'res
scene is both rich in humor and intelligent In
burlesque, equally as r.maslng'nnd far more
sensible and acceptable than the JlocUjan
Guardt, whtcn at wht. is urn an improvises
caricature on the Mulligan Guardi as present
ed by Baker and Farron. The Jonah-whale
story la admirable, and we hope Mr. Barlow
will not let any change of programme substi
tute In its stead Mary's little lamb or f ther leas
attractive tnorceauJMr. Trench with ht Saojb
Is an esjeclal feature or no Utile Value to the
troupe.1' Mr, Uruimas, 'the basso, bin a won
derfully powerful Volce.whlch will beremem-
oereu mui appreciatively Dy aii
who onca hear Its tones. Considering the
dullness ol tho tlmrs, Ihwerly's minstrels
bavadone a gooi businces here; they certain
ly have given satUfactlon. We hope to hear
of tbclr kind reception and liberal patronage
throuboat Texas and the south. Air. Wil
son, tae double tain bourlne "end man,"is one
of the happiest we have ever seen, and la to
the left what Barlow is to tbe right or this ar
ray of talented minstrels. We commend the
Haverly minstrels to the people of tbe south,
and feel satlatled that tnelr entertainments
will always allord pleasnre, mirth and Joy.
John Robinson's Circus.
John Robinson, the great showman,
pi tones hU neldof tent In our city November
16th, and remains three days. This circus,
aquarium and menagerie will attract thou
sands ot people, for In every feature of his
show John Eoblnson will exceed theexpecta
tlonsnr the publics and give an entertainment
t aparior to any of 118 character ever beheld In
Memphis. Our readers may rest assured that
a successlul experience of fifty years in the
brjslneivS has not been without its correspond

In hU conception, preparation and manage

circus now in tbe world. Possibly none of oar
readers will, foryears after this, have a chance
luM-tk.cJ a grand, imposing exhibition as
wih be given on that day by Koblnson'4 great
world exposition. lie lamcnse proportions
this year, are iald to bailie- description, and it
bwiiders an ordinary mind to contemplate
tne vast concern. Mr. Robinson is, no d'inut,
tbe wealthiest showman In the world, and
o.
that be may not be excelled by ny one in tbe
profession, be has this seasjn outstripped
every former effortby making numberless ad
ditions to his menaterle.aqnarlum and clrcu?.
The brilliant splendor of tbo enUro outfit is
described as something dazzlltg. and tbe
preen everywhere seem loudlu their praises of
the gigantic enterprise, while clergymen,
church-members, teachers and families have
indorsed Hasan exhibition of nnprcedmted
merit. The street Dorada will reuav a UU'S

come to it from mile around. Do not fall to

Grand Concert nt St. Mary's Church.
Lovers of music will have an oppor
tunity of enjoying a rare treat at tho concert
which is to be clven in St. Mary's cburcb.
corner of Third and Market streets, to-morrow
evening at eight o'clock. Tho very supe
rior merits of a concort given in the same
church lrst spring, Is sufficient assurance that
whatever is undertaken for tne benefit of St.
Mary's church, is in the hands of clever man
agers. We see from the pro"rsmm that thn
selections for to-niorrow evening's concert aro
such as are calculated to gratify to the utmost
m reuueu laiio oi tue munc loving people of
Memphis. Tbo be't and most popular vocal
ists in Memphis have been secured, and we
must here particularly notify our readers
that a renowned batso slncer of Berlin, will.
on this occasion, contribute eclat to the musi
cal entertainment. Given, as It I, In aid of
St. Mary's church, we sincerely hope that all
our citizens, withoutregard to creed, will con
tribute to so wortby an object, and we assure
tbem that they will sio,t certainly find them
selves amply repaid by tho superior rendition
ot some of the very choicest musical selections.

A better procramme than tho above has
never been offered the public, and we doubt,
with the knowledge of the capacity of our
amateurs, that it could be entrusted lo better
nanus.
The Memphis Club Concert.
Editors Appeal One of the pleas
antcst musical entertainments whicli it has
been my pleasure to attend this j ear, wa
given on Wednesday night, November third,
at the rooms ol the Memphis club. The par
ticipants were some of our very best vocalists
and Instrumental performers, with Mr. Emlle
Levy as musical director. Mr. Levy's pro
grammes generally are well chosen, and show
good;taste combiued with a knowledge of
the task incumbent upon a musician, whote
aim shonid ever be, wnlle endeavoring to
pleaso his audience, to constantly bring lorth
such selections and productions as wilt verify
the director's claims as a true artist. Miss
Florence Hughes and Mr. Levy played a beau
tiful duo from ii Trovatore on ihepiauo, and
by the1 finished n ridltlon prepared the audi
ence for' the splendid neat awaiting tbem
during the evening. Mrs. Manstord lollowed
with n vnrv nlrA vrifnl Killn. I)uir fltlrli trt '
JStin, and was enc red. Number tr- rt
programme was Mr. ttiei-0 rxuShubawi
yanderer in a manner wotthy ot tne iopu
lar amateur, rj ur ever dear Harry Tomhnio i
playeo, perhaps, better than usual (he nsvei
plays but what -t la a good play) ou that even
ing. Gufe iVacAf ilw Zlein Ilerzigei Kind
waj his eoIo, a song which every edu
cated German has heard aud loves
dearly. Next on the programme
was a gentleman whom some of our musical
people may have heard sing at the churches,
DUt who has never before appeared in a con
certinthiscltyjastranger among us, but one
who, as tha artist has proven himself, will
soon have won tboucand of liiends. Mr.
Bornemann is tho gsutlerhau to whom we re
fer. Wltbont vlhlug to detract an iota ot the
ice-St t au"y of our good and deserving bassos
in the city, I may be allowed to say that Mr.
Bornemann in a scholar and finished bass
siDger never had his tqual in Memphis. His
voice Is grand, his do.i very tmtlt s, and bis
powei and capaoity that of a Herman or a
Formes. He bbould oe welcomed by all who
can appreciate the value of a superior Sulo
singer. Mr. Leopold played the. zitther very
nicely. Miss Lulu Hughes sang Perrlng's
JIatguerita, aud wts en ored and encored. Sue
has an unusually rich voice. The ntxt contrib
utor on the occasion, and dtliuuutle, was Miss
Carrie Keating, a very young piant-tein
y&ai'S, but ong, who, with continued study,
promise!) the future cf a fine and devoted
artist. Miss Carrie, upo.ii her first appearance
before tbs footlights, played one ot Wehli's
compositions TYfunfa, and played it so hand
somely, bo finished and so truthfully to the
composer's views, that a thunder of applause
rewarded her careful and honest ' playing
with a loud demand tor a second appearance
of tho talented Miss, with which she gratified
the appreciative audience. This time she
played Withering Powers, a very bauiirul
composition, something akin to tho slyie ot
Eaton's Jiain Drops, a cpmposltisu which few
who know It wlU'fbrget Miss Kcatlug shows
all tbe requisite anilities to sooner or later
make the famous piauiste. Her touch on the
piano forte Is superb, and reminds oue of the
oeautiful playing of Perring on this instru
ment. She plays with feeling, intelligence
and an attention to light and shade, which
many professionals tail to equal, and which
ever oespeaas for her the sweetest encomiums
of her hearers. Let Le but continue a ishe be
gan and she V7lb at an early day become the
favorite of our concert-room. Sbe received a
beautiful basket of flowers, with which si e
eracefully retired upon the conclusion of her
piece, reappearing, modestly, witi nor chssie
caraelfas, lu graceful saiuUHui. to the audi
ence, as she was rapturous.lv recalled. Miss
Barinds sang Switzerland, Uy bmiin land ver
sweetly, lndrd,audhes ver mucb improved.
The Memphis club, lu their U'nrt. to allord
tbeir members these musical enteitalunients,
Irom time to time, much coudure t j tbe gen
eral culture now developing i self in our com
munity, and have, by tneir has, liable man
