memo. The pionie for the benefit of the little ones at St. Peter's Orphan Asylum takes place next Monday io James' Park. Committees of ladies and gentlemen are arranging matters so as to make this one of the most picturetqne and enjoyable feasts of the season. The object is decidedly praiseworthy, and deserves the patronage of every patriot and Christian.

Where benevolence and pleasure are combined, there the sweetest joys are foubd, and the heart beats with the purest ecstacy. Under the shady greenwood tree, then, let thousands assemble to (race the orphans' picnic on Monday. The BoUiel. Arrangements have been made with the different pastors of the city to have preaehing every Sabbath afternoon at the Memphis Bethel, corner of Exchange and Front streets, beginning at fifteen minutes to (our o'clock. A large hall has beea procured, and is well provided with seats.

AU are cordially invited to come, without money and without price. By this voluntary arrangement, the following ministers agree to preach in rotation as their names appear in this list: Revs. Dr. Ford, Mr. Bliss, A- T.

Mann, L. C. Ransom, D. Burns, W. Patterson, F.

H. Bowman, E. M- Richardson, T. D. I Witherspoon, Mr.

Petway. i Acknowledgment. If there is any kind of current reading whieh we regard as purely innocent and at the same time sparkling as an inexhaustible fonntain, refreshing at the mountain breeze, and as soothing as the notes of a jewiharp band on the placid bosom of a moon-lit lake, it is the juicy pages of a Patent Office report. Hence it affords us a pleasure which we kuow not how to express, to meu'tion on occur rence which happened Inst Saturday, and filled eat en incomplete shelf in our library. We received by mail, nnder the frank, of our distinguished Honorable W.

8mith, the Patent Office report for the year 1807, in four handsome volumes. Tbe.e standard works are a good match, in rr. and appearance, in a top shelf, to Gibbon's Hta tory of Rome. We will give a critical notice, nnder head of "New Books," at our earliest convenience that is as soon as we read them. The author is Mr.

T. C. Theaker, of Washington City, whose prolific pen sends a light to almost every household. We are glad that Mr. Smith ha not forgoHen ns in his assure him that all public documents sent will be taken care of and appreciated.

Bold lions Tnlewee. Last Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, two meu stole a horse belonging to Mr. M. Nealis, two and a half miles from the eity, on the Pigeon Roost road, and made good their escape. The horse was grazing within one hundred yards of the house.

Oae of the men stole a rope from a neighbor of Mr. Nealis', deliberately made a noose for the horse, and rode off out Union avenue, leaving his companion to make himself few about there on foot. The neighbors mounted some horses as soon as possible and pursued ihe thieving rascals, but did not overtake The one riding the horse etcappd toward Germantown; the other one is supposed to be in the city. They were both recognized and have both been in the penitentiary. The horse was valued at one hnndred and fifty dollars.

MarrlnKe In Jail. We learn from the Bee that Brownsville had a case of pursuit of happiness under difficulties in that town last week. On Monday evening last a prisoner named Womack, confined in the county jail on a charge of murder, was married to a Miss McGuire, and quite a party as sembled to witness the ceremony. They were both from Tipton county. It seems that the parties were betrothed, and were to have been married about the time the now bridegroom was arrested, and the bride, (rue to her plighted faith, insisted on her woman's privilege, of sticking to him alike in fair or font weather.

We trust that more favoring skies may yet bend above their pathway, and the hap piness of connubial life, now deferred, may be all Ihe sweeter when existing bars have been removed. Iron Will. A society has been organized in this city called the Mn of Iron Will. They are a branch of the Workingmen's Association, but are all blacksmiths, moulders, or men engaged in the hardware business. They have taken a solemn oath by their young and sacred mous taches not to visit a lady for three months At the end of that lime the ladies will, no doubt, be overrun by the blacksmiths.

Some of them, we learn, are sick of it, and would like to get out, but their oaths are recorded and 'the iron mask is on their faces. In the meantime their rivals are making good use of their abilities, and it is reported that several matches are already made. How It Was Done. Some of the papers announced yesterday that the Little Rock railroad bonds belouging to the city, which were advertised to be sold Saturday under ex ecution, were saved from sale by the City Comptroller paying the amaunt for which they were seized. For the information of all who read this we will state "Tiotp" the City Comptroller paid the amount Mr.

Randolph, the attorney who controls the execution, allowed Mr. Baugh until next Monday to raise the money. It has not been paid. That's aii. Hyetrloas Harder.

The body of a man, some fifty Te" old, was found floating in the river near Fort Pickering. A inquest was held by Coroner Samelson, but no facts were developed to identify the deceased. It was evident that he had been murdered, from gashes io his head and other parts of the body. WheB found the body was dressed in a black broadcloth coat, grey pants and heavy brogana. His hair was nearly white.and his beard perfectly white and abont half an inch long." The remains were interreddeoently at public expense.

Street Car Depot. It is stated that there is to be a central depot for the street cars on West Court street, between Court. Square and the river. This will certoinly be an improvement on present arrangements. 'At New Orleans all the street cars change from a focus on Canal street, and the cars ran on as cliise time as a clock.

People can look at their watches and tell toe mine te when a 'car will come alone A man would have a lively time trying that in Memphis. Demeeratle Committee. The Democratic Executive Committee will meet this afternoon at half-past 3 o'clock, at headquarters, No. 29CJ Second street. As this is the most important occasion that has been met for some time, it is hoped that every member will answer te his name.

We see from the Canton papers that Colonel Trezevant has aroused the citizens of that place about Ihe Yazoo Valley railroad. He addressed them last week, and thfy passed the following among other resolutions Resolved, That, as citizens of Canton and of MaHisnB county, we feel a deep interest in the speedy construction of said road, and will heartily co-operate in every way in our power in any plan for the construction of the same. Resolved, Tint we pledge the public spirit and enterprise of this town and county for at sullicient means to build and equip this road from Canton to the Yazoo county line.

Resolved further, That the sulject of the construction ot saia roau De citiinn to the attention of the corporate authorities of the city of Canton, of the county of mauison, isr sucn auuuu as in iunr wisdom they may deem best for the interest of the citizens of said city and county in connection with Ihe construction of said road. i.i We learu that the people of that fertile cotton region, now all trading with New Orleans, are anxious to make Memphis their market. i Concert at Brownsville. The Queen Sisters, who were here last week, gave a concert at Brownsville, Saturday night, which was well attended, we learn, bv the best people of the nlace They give another one to-night and to morrow night. The one to-morrow night will be for the benefit of some benevolent object.

Mr. Emil Levy, an accomplished young pianist, of this city, has joined the Qaeen Sisters professionally, and will travel with them and Mr. Waldran, their father, to Jackson, Nashville and other places io the State. They are coming back here shortly, and, we understand, will give a benefit for some public charity. They appear to be refined, modest ladies, and are highly accomplished.

i Tbe Blind Han. Mr. M. J. H.

Roper, the worthy blind man, assisted by his noble and devoted wife, will give a panoramic exhibition with their wonderful magic lantern tonight, at Miss Bryant's school house, corner of Elliott and Echols streets. Tbe performance will be repeated to-morrow night We hope these good but unfortunate people will be liberally sustained. Jewelry Fonnd. About one thousand dollars' worlh of tbe jewelry stolen last week from Mrs. Thurnel, on Poplar street, has been recovered by detectives McCune and Con-nell.

It was all in the possession of negroes, three of whom are under arrest; one escaped by boat, but was arrested on his arrival at Cairo, and will be brought back. Some of the jewelry was buried the rest was scattered. It is believed that all will be The detectives deserve great credit for their skill and success. Festival at Park Chnreb.
