It was stated last night at the Confederate 'Relief Association meeting that the Monumental Committee waited upon the members of the Ladies' Monumental Association individually and collectively and invited their aid and assistance in the cause, but the Ladies' Monumental Association had disvandod, and the members, to a woman, refused to have anything more to do with the matter.

The Clerk of the Supreme Court, Major Freeman, expresses his pleasure at having to do busltiess with so prompt an oSciftl as the Sheriff of Shelby oounty; The Police Commissioners on yesterday discharged another night patrolmaa on the charge of sleeping while on du'y, and appointed Wm. H. McCall to fill the vacancy.

This is five night patrolmen who have been discharged within the past ten days for sleeping on their watch. The night patrol force is small about twenty and one-fourth has been discharged for somnolency. This may account for the number of successful robberies and burglaries that has taken place throughout the city. The bock and lager beer has been made too strong this spring to be drunk at night by the guardians of the publio peace. Unless this sleeping business is stopped we will soon cease to have the best fore in the world.

Decoration Day at Elmwood, Thurs day, the 25th of May. Report to the Hoiumental Fund Made by the Special Committee or the Confederate Relief Association, Etc. In response to a Call made by Mr. W. A.

Goodman, President of the Confeder ate Relief Association, a number of the members of the association and other ex-Confederate soldiers assembled at the Cotton Exchange last evening for the purpose of considering the proposed en nual floral decoration of the graves of Confederate soldiers at Elmwood Ceme tery, and also to consider the matter of completing that almost forgotten and too long neglected monument, which twelve years ago was proposed to be erected above those graves. On motion of Major W. U. Rhea, Colonel J. J.

Dubose was balled to the chair as president of the meeting and Major Minor Meriwether selected as secretary. General Gordon, of the Monumental Committee, arose and stated the object of the meeting to be to take in to consideration the decoration of graves at Elm-wo)d, and he moved that no oration be delivered or street display take place, but that the celebration should be a fl jral tribute to the memory of the dead. REPORT OP TUB MONUMESTil, COMMITTEE. Captain L. B.

McFarland, of the Mon umental Committee, added that the meeting had been called at the instance of the Monumental Committee, which was appointed about twelve months ago by the Confederate Rolief Association to act in concert with the Ladies' Monumental Association. The committee was composed of Messrs. G. W. Gordon, Colton Green, W.

F. Taylor, W. A. Goodman and himself (Mr.1 L. McFarland).

Colonel Taylor nt that time was Secretary and Treasurer of the Ladies' Monumental Associa tion. The committee met immediately on being selected, and resolved that the first thing in order was to collect the outstanding fund which had been loaned out by the Ladies' Monumental Association, and for which was held the promis sory note of the makers, given about eleven years before, and in consequence its collection was ba.red by the Ltatute of limitations. The committee concluded that this fund dugU to be collected, if possible, and bfore they could ask the public lor another cent They then nrgtd the party who was responsible for the amount if the no'e (Colonel A. Kellar) to pay the amount, aud soti- fied him if the note was not paid, the committee would make public announce ment as to the condition of the fund on Decoration day (1875). On Decor ation day Colonel Taylor came to him (Captain McFarland) and stated that Colonel Kellar had said that the money was ready on call.

He (Captain McFar land) made that announcement pub licly. Next day General Gordon called the committee together and- had seen Colonel Kellar in the meantime, and he informed the committee that a mistake had been made in the announcement, as Uolonel Kellar had informed him that he would pay the amount in thirty days. The committee determined that the money was needed immediately, but tbey gave written notice to Colonel Kellar that it would be called for in thirty days. It ran on to forty-five days, September 15th, and was not paid. A new propo sition was then made to thb committee to pay part cash and notes for the balance, with interest, payable as the amounts were needed.

Tbe committee proposed that if Colonel Keller wonld give two notes for principal and interest due, with good security, that the proposition would be considered. Since that time part of the amount was paid to General Gordon in installments, and daring the past few days the second balance of principal due has been paid, and a promise has been given to civo notes for the interest due. (The principal paid amounts to 1069, and the interest due amounts to $1078.) This leaves nothing due but the interest. Captain McFarland added that it had been determined by the committee to get the ladies interested in the matter, and many of them bad expressed themselves as ready to assist in increasing the fund by extending their aid in any manner desired. The committee endeavored to eecuro an orator and Lad written to Senator Lamar of Mississippi, Voorhies of and.

Judge Sneed of Tennes.qee, hut were unable lo qpcur the services of either gentleman at the time. The committee then r-solved to submit to the present meeting three things: "First to ge ohead and appeal to the people for contributions. Second that no street paride or oration he had on Decoration Day. Third to give a pic-nic or get the ladies to give a festival, as (he firqt of a series of enter, tainroents for the purpose of adding to the fund." Captain McFarland went on to state that Colonel Kellar proposed to give two notes for the interest due one for 500 and the other for $578 payable respectively in nine and twelve months. General Gordon stated that he believed that Colonel Kellar would execqte the notes as promised, and that they would be paid, If the notes were secured by indorsers, the committee could raise the fsee value of tbem immediately.

Charles G. Lor.ke it was resolved that Decoration Dav be celebrated on Thursday, May 25th, com mencing at 10 clock at Elmwood Cem etery, and that the street parade and oration be dispensed with. Mr. Ed Beasley moved that the Monu mental Committee be authorized to go ahead and suggest whatever plans deemed best to add to the monumental fund, and to secure designs for the mon ument, with a view to completing tbe same. This motion was carried unanimously, nu 1 to this committee Chairman DuBose wuj added.

Captain Tom Johnson opposed the pic nic scheme, as he did not think it was a g)od year for picnics; he was willing ts work in harness, however, until the mon ument was completed. He suggested as a gocd ides, that money could be col lected by taking subscription notes from citizens, payable it) six and twelve months. This idea was generally in dorsed by the meeting and tbe mailer was left in the hunds rf the committee Mijor Minor Meriwether offered, a res olution, which was passed unanimously, thiwi.ing the Motiumen'ul Committee it their efforts in collecting the principal of the fund, and that the committee be authorized to go ahead with entertainments best calculated to carry out tbe object in view, the entertainments to coosist either of picnics, fairs, festivals, etc. Captain McFarland, afer consulting with the other members of the committee, informed the meeting that they desired to give a festival, to be taken charge of by the ladies friendly to the cause, and he asked the chair to appoint a oommit-teo of five to wait upon the ladies and secure their services. The suggestion was adopted and the following committee was appointed: Messrs.

Oa Uvrnia, Prof. Tyndall haviiiii concluded from the studies of Schrao, Schroder, Duscb rasteur, that the power ol developing life by the air, and its power of rent tering light, would be found to go hand iu hand, has been devoting his attentioa to this most ditlicult investigation. Starting with the idea that the examination of a beam of light and tbe searching of this medium might further elucidate the subject, he has devoted a great deal of time and study to demonstrate the advantages of this process. Mr. Tyndall's method ol prooeuure may oe Dntny at scribed as follows: Tbe passage of a beam of light is allowed to traverse a reoui, which shows to theeye that the sir is laden with floating motes or matter.

In the air of the room, alt cu-rents are closed, and after a certain time tbe beam of light is seen quite clear, all floating mattsr having been deposited. Now an apparatus constructed, consisting ot a number of chambers, each with a glass front: tbe top. bottom and hack being of wood. At the back is a little door, whieb opens and closes on hinges, while into the sides are Inserted two.pnes of glass facing each other, '(be top is perforated by a hole two inches in diameter, clqtjeJ, air-tight by a sheet qf rubber. This sheet is pierced in tittt twiddle by a pin, and through the pin-hole is pased the sbank of a long pipette ending with a funnel.

This pipette is fitted in a collar and a stuffing box, filled with cctton, which has been lubricated with glycerine. Into two smaller up. rtures on the top of tbe cise nre iusertt-d air-tight the open end ot two narrow lubes, intended to connect, thf interior cpuce with the atmosphere The bjtti.tn of the box has a series of h.i rlureH, in which are fixed lurge test lubs, in which the liquids to be tested be upowd to the action of tbe thoroughly killed or converted into moteless uir Afier iho hir in the room was supposed, by tbe examination of the beam of light, to be moteless, or to have deposited all the matter held in suspension, such motfs as may have existed would hove been deposited on the sides and bottoms of tha boxes, where it would have been retained by a coating of the glycerine with which the interior surfuce ot the case had varnished. Next the test tubes were filled through the pipette, boiled for five minutes in a bath of oil, and abandoned to the action of the motrtless air, with certain precautions. Iu the test tubes hud benu placed solutions derived from nli kinds of Rni-mal and yetetabln substantia.

When these infusions were exposed to ihe air which had not been cleared of its motes every one of them fell into putrv-fuction under temperatute of sixty seventy degrees Fahrenheit, in the course of two to four diiye. Tbe.se experiments were multiplied until they reaclu-'l and noi one was tried which did not show decomposition. But in no sinuln case did the contents of the tube show the presence of bacteria or bacterial life when the bam was Bhowu to be mot -less, and careful precautions were used. From this Prof. Tyndall judges that the power of developing lite by means of at mospheric air, and that of scattering light, are thus proved to be united.
