Blame 1 Editors Ledger : There is now
lying in one of our machine shops
(Chickasaw foundry, of Randle & Heath,
I believe), and has been for many months,
a self-attaching and self-detaching car
coupling, invented by a most worthy
Memphis mechanic (W. L. Belt), who is
now as loyal a citizen in the triumphs of
peace as he was a true soldier under the
Confederate, flag in the trials of war.
This ingenious device, which promises to
put a stop to railroad slaughters, and
made at great cost and trouble, has been
offered to more than one railroad official
free of charge, to test and prove without
risk, trouble or expense ; and yet there it
lies ruBting, and will thus continue before
the inventor will ever again ask them to
try it, as his modesty and independence
are equaled only by his genius and pa
triotism, I write this without the know!
edge of Mr. Belt or any one else, and am
alone responsible. 'Now, who's to blame
for our many railroad disasters of late ?
I ask you and all interested and who is
not ? to call as above directed and ex
amine for yourselves this, I think, very
important and valuable contrivance. It
is covered by caveat If we turn a deaf
ear to all improvements, claimed as such
by their projectors, and regard them as
innovations or cunning devices to get
money because nine out of ten fail of
practical utility, we would all be now
traveling in ox carts, and there would be
no railroad harvests for said officials.
Respectfully, S. S- Rembert.

and tuh Cooxtt Jail Recently the
Grand Jury of the Circuit Court visited
the County Jail, constructed by Mr. J,

lion of criminals, and have made the fol
lowing report:
Mimpmis, Trim., Fsbruary 18, 1H6&
We, the Grand Jury of the January
Term of the Circuit Court of Shelby
county, make the following report as to
the condition of the new and old jails:
The Grand Jury, on the 14th dsy ot Feb
ruary, 1HC8. proceeded in a body to the
new jail nf Hhelhy county, where they
were met br Mr. Powers, Contrastor, Mr,
Cook. Architect and wilh them made a
thorounh examination of the build
log. We found the main and adjacent
buildings finished, and report them' to be
the most complete and best eooitruotea
bui dines for beauty ol design
strenuth, durability and ventilation
of any that it has been our duty to ex
amine. It would be a needless and use
less task for us to give a detailed de
scription of its advantages over all other
buildings that it has been our pleasure
to visit We would advise all citnen
who are interested in our publio institu
tions to visit and make an examination
of the new jail. Mr. J. J. Powers, the
contractor, deserves special notice at onr
hands for the untiring energy witn which
he has prosecuted this work under the
most difficult and trying circumstances.
After, thoroughly examining ttie new
jail, we inspected the old one, which was

condition. All of which is respectfully
submitted. C K. Kooers,

A Wonderful Equestrian. By far
the best female equestrian who ever per
formed here, or perhaps in the country,
is little Miss Cordelia, of John Robin
son's circus. She is a mere child of
twelve, and has been only a little more
than a year in the ring; yet her eques
trian feats are performed with an ease,
abandon and daring wonderful not only
in one so young, but seldom attained by
male veterans in the profession. There
is little performed on the naked back
of a horse going at full speed by that
most gifted of riders, James Robinson
that she does ,not perform. Leaping
iver banners and through balloons, and
executing the most dangerous pirouettes
with horse at full speed, seem as easily
accomplished as standing upright. The
only feat (save bis hurdle act) performed
by that world's wonder, James Robinson
which she does not successfully
attempt, is that ' of throwing sum
mersaults. hven these sue is prac
ticing, and, donning male attire,
will in due time perform. It may not
Drove uninteresting to our readers to
learn that this remarkable child is a na
tive of Tennessee, and resided in the
State with her parents until a short
Deriod before the close of the war. - The
family now reside in Lexington, Ky.
and upward of a year ago, attracting the
attention of Robinson, she was adopted
by him with the view of being brought
out as an equestrian. Should no mishap
befall her, a few years more will cause
her to rank with that greatest of male
equestrians James Robinson,

Colored Conservative Meetino. A
meeting of colored Conservatives was
held in the Criminal Court room last
night. John Chandler was chosen Presi
dent, and Fred. Bruce, Secretary. The
following resolutions were adopted :
Whereas. As we nave lived as free'
men for three years, and have witnessed
the various meanderings of our condi
tion, and find that so far as being free
agents for ourselves we aresatisued, and
have received all the encouragement from
our southern white iriends calcu
lated to improve and elevate
us to perform our duties as
freemen, for which we are gratified, and
shall ever be true to what we conceive to
be the best interest of our race and our
common country; and as the white race
has governed all Chriatiau countries, by
winch all colors nave been best benefit'
ted, we accord to them tha honor of the
improvement of our condition ; therefor,
Jtesolved, That we pledge ourselves
to support the Conservative ticket which
bas been presented to us lor county out
cers.
Resolved, That we earnestly call upon
all our colored mends to aid us, as we
believe tbat the establishment of the
Conservative principles is to the best in
terests of the country.
Resolved, That we ask no more of the
white race than has been provided for us
by law, only their assistance to carry out
the laws, and we pledge oursolves to
stand by them.
Respectfully submitted,

Fluts Accident A Remedy. We
understand that by nnavoidable accident
at tbe New Momphis Theater last night,
Mr. Henry Farmer's costly and beautiful
flute was broken beyond remedy, by a
side-scene falling on it. Tbe instrument
thus unfortunately destroyed, was a gift
to Mr. Farmer, as well as a testimonial
of appreciation of his taste and culture
as a flutist It is proposed by many of
bis friends to replace this flute by one of
the same description, to be purchased by
the proceeds of a concert, to be given for
tbat purpose. We like the suggestion
and hope it will be acted upon. Mr.
Farmer deserves such a testimonial.
