LEDGER LIXES. General Council meeting this after- tlOOD, Whittle and Bliss at the Greenlaw Opera House again to-night. St.f;George's Benevolent Association picnic at James' Park next Monday. Centennials and revivals seem to be in order this year, as they will be in 1876. Several showers of rain yesterday started growing crops on their npward course.

Orphan picnic at James' Park on Wednesday next, the 26h in-jtant. The strawberry season has come and acts in conjunction witlrtlie ice cream period, There will be a general suspension of business on next Monday Decoration day at Elmwood. Our ex-Congressman Barbour Lewis has been attending the Beecher-Tilton trial in New York. The "Grey and the Blue" joined hands and celebrated the Mecklenburg Centennial in Memphis yesterday. Ground is being removed on Main street near South for the purpose of erecting a compress cotton shed.

The Bluff City Shooting Club will con test for the silver pitcher prize on Tuesday next at double birds shot out of a trap. The invited are expected to assemble at 8 o'clock precisely to-morrow morning at the foot of Jefferson street to go on board the tug Oriole. Chancellor Walker will announce his opinion on the injunction against the Fire and Police Commissioners on Tuesday next motion day. Ex-Senator Brownlow, in the Knox-ville Chronicle of the 10th instant, calls the Lkdoer "the most intensely Democratic paper in the State." Throughout this and adjoining counties cotton is showing up a good "stand," and gives promise of a prolific crop, notwithstanding the croakers. The moon was in its full last night and Bhone out in all her silvery glory for the benefit of thosi who look npward to admire the beauties ef nature.

The old and young beaux of the city are pondering over Ahe conundrum, whether they should walk on the inside or outside of a lady pedestrian. In 1775 old North Carolina contained the "hornets' nest," from which issued the swarm that stung English tyranny to death throughout the thirteen colonies. In the Criminal Court to-day Louis Longenetti is on trial charged with the stabbing and killing of John 'Couri on the 27th of January, 1875, on Front street The thanks of our citizens are due to lessee Davey and his agent for the free use of the theater tendered to the Mecklenburg Centennial celebrators last night. Messrs. Whittle and Bliss contiuue to attract large audiences, but as yet few sinners have become converted.

Sinners should not be backward in coming forward. An immense amount of wheat hag been sown in thia county and in the North Mississippi counties this spring, a fact which speaks well for the South and home products ia the way of breadstuffs. The Italian picnic, which was to have been celebrated to-day at James' Park, has been postponed indefinitely, subject to the orders of the Executive Commit-i tee, who will announce the time of the picnic ere long. At the Recorder's Court to-day Julius Douglas (negro), charged with larceny, was committed in default of 1000 bond, and John Armour (negro), arrested for larceny, was committed in default of the same amount of bonds. Tho holiday yesterday was celebrated by numbers of citizeus who went on fishing excursions to the Arkansas bayous and lakes.

Many returned triumphantly with long strings of fish caught with a silver hook or greenback bait. The ease ball mania is raging among the boys of the city, and even a number of middle-aged gentlemen have caught the ball and bat fever and talk of organ izing several clubs by way of indulging in violent exercise during thespring and summer. It is a sad thought that very few of those who celebrated the Mecklenburg Centennial yesterday will be able to do it again when 1975 rolls around through space and time. The days of the centenarians are past and gone, but why, has beea a. spiritualistic subject with scientists, who have comedo the conclu sion that the present generation lives too fast and compresses a century into a decade of years.

Messrs. Whittle and Bliss should try their hands on the newspaper fraternity of Memphis. They are wicked sinners to a man, and so far have escaped conversion. The Appeal, Avalanche and Ledger afford a fine field for Evangelistic work. Next week two sporting amateurs ef the bluff will indulge in a pigeon-shoot for terms, thirty single birds, twen ty-one yards rise, eighty yards boundary and ten double birds eighteen yards rise.

The match will be shot at the Hernando Trotting Park. At the Pythian picnic the bouque which brought $115, was presented to Miss Tilly Buckley, she having received the highest number votes cast, as the prettiest girl on the ground. The wreath of flowers was voted to Mies Lou Johnson by a number of her admirers. We are indebted to J. M.

Emmons, of 378 Main street, for a copy of the New York Herald "Revolutionary Extra- No. 2." It contains a full history of the proceedings at Churlolte on the 20th of May, 1775, a fac-simile of the signatures to the declaration aud a rich fund of Revolutionary lore. It is well worth filing awsy for future use. It is about time tor springs tc publish an analysis of the water which is especially remarkable for curing all the ills that flesh is heir to; and it is also about time for those who annually frequent fashionable springs to select some kind of water as a beverage during the hot summer months. Each popular spring, like a river, has a bar." It is rumored that Mrs.

Thompson, the colored school teacher who was diB charged from the Clay street schools at the instigation of the white principal Barnum, will bring a suit lor damages against the latter and some other worthies who took an active part in the school muddle, wherein the ring ruled with an iron hand in favor of Picket Co. The old Mecklenburg Centennial ship which cruised off the port of Memphis on Wednesday morning was abandoned by the old crow and given up as lost; but a new crew of volunteers boarded the fine old vessel, pumped her out, nailed the colors of 1775 to the mast and safely carried the old relic into port amid the rejoicing of two thousand people at the theater last night. One of the principal causes of the rapid decay of Main and other paved streets is the failure of the street railroad company to pave between the tracks and for two feet outside, as pro vided for in their charter, which in this respect has been violated. The com pany has been granted privileges by the representatives of the people, and fails to respect the rights of the people in the above and in other respects. Let the city enforce its rights as to this pavement.

The Mecklenburg Centennial celebration at the theater last night was a glo rious success, thanks to the few gentlemen who put their shoulders to the wheel and the generous and expensive free notices given to the celebration by the Appeal on yesterday morning, as well as by the Avalanche. Without the invaluable aid of the mud abused and berated press and journalistic profession, the celebration, so far as this city is concerned, would have been a lamentable failure instead of being as it wae, a glorious success which linked one hundred years together. The City Engineer has removed those exposed cofOnsaud human remains from that street through Winchester Cemetery. The Engineer had a long trench dug and therein were deposited the coffins containing the remains of the-unknown and nameless dead. In this removal of the coffins so exposed the authorities were instigated thereto by the Ledger, but it is to be hoped that they will continue to act on the Ledobh's suggestions, and not either grow weary of well doing or delay so long in taking the good advice for which we make no charge.

At St. Patrick's church, on Wednesday evening, a fashionable wedding took place, the contracting parties being Mr. R. M. Mansford and Miss Carrie Ycung.

The qeremony was performed by Rev. Father Lucius and was witnessed by hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, the friends of the bride and groom. After the wedding a reception took place at, the residence of Mr. E. J.

Mansford, on Tennessee street. To the bride and groom the Leduer wishes a loug life and a happy one, free from all responsibilities except those of an agreeable nature. The subject as to whether a gentleman should walk either on the right or left of a lady by way of protection has not as yet been settled, one philosopher suggesting that the man should give his left arm to the lady so that his right is left free to protect her, and another philosopher insisting that he should give the lady his right arm so that her right hand is left free to hold np skirts, etc. Tho latter is obviously right, because the man is not protecting the lady, but she is a protection to him, and prevents other men frem running into him or forcing him to give half tho sidewalk, and then a robber rarely attacks a maa when accompanied by a woman, fearing her vocal powers in screaming for help. Mr.

James P. Wallace, of New York, made the highest bid, (170,000, for the water-works at the sale yesterday, but the knocking down was stopped by a knock down bid from Judge Ray, of the Probate Court, in the shape of a dread injunction, representing T. W. Yardley, of Cincinnati, a holder of first mortgage bonds. In fifteen minutes the tale was resumed on sn order from Chancellor Morgan, and Mr.

Wallace, president of the New York Guarantee and Indemnity Company, became the purchaser for the amount above stated. A crop of injunctions will probably spring up in conse quence. GREAT EXtlTEXEJiT. 50,000 Acme Cigars, So Each. 20,000 Key West Cigars, 8 for 25c.

Hartford Times: A Western clergy- man astonished his congregation last Sunday by telling them that if Mr. Til- ton bad accused him as he had accused the Plymouth pastor, he'd have stripped the Bkin off 'n that lie quicker'n a hurri-can could peel a banana. The Schiller disaster recalls the fact that in October, 1707, an English squadron, under Sir Cloudesly Shovel, went to pieces off these same Scilly Isles, occasioning a loss of two thousand lives.

The troublesome rocks off these islands are called, very properly, the "dogs of Scilly." An interesting discovery of what is supposed to have been once a pagan cemetery has been made in the sandhills of Finner, between Ballyshannon and Bundoraa. The remains found consist of human botes, many of them scorched, ashes, skulls in good preservation, charcoal, and a cinerary nrn. The flag carried by Paul Boyton across the English channel, and sent by Colonel Forney to Colonel Etting, has been placed on view at the ladies' Centennial loan exhibition, Rittenhouse square. Here is a French lady's excuse for eloping with M. Achille: Had I found in my husband a man like M.

Achille, I should nt have failed in my duties; but he was nothing a mere nothing. What would you have me do? My husband would g.o to his occupation early in the morning; when he returned he was instantly asleep. Besides, he took snnff to excess, and refused to wear a night gown." A little boy was sad, talking of the death of his father. The minister said: "Cheer up, my boy, your father was a good man; you should remember him always, and strive to be like him. What was his last word?" "Nothing, sir; nothing.

You should know that while he bad strength father was talking with my stepmother, and he was not allowed to have the last word." Some time ago four ladies who passed the London University examination for women, entered themselves in the chambers of well-known barristers for the purpose of studying law. It was said at the time that their labor would be fruitless. It seems, however, that the ladies are likely, as the result of their studies, to obtain profitable emrjlovment. One of then, hose term of study is closed, has been engaged by a firm of solicitors as "consulting counsel." An interesting discovery was recently made near Rome, Italy. In digging up a garden some workmen unearthed some terra cotta vases, which they at first supposed to contain treasure.

On breaking them, however, two live toads were fonnd clad in green velvet. This strange attire showed that they must be at least two hundred years old, as an ancient treatise on magic and demonology mentions that, at the beginning of the seventeenth century sorcerers dressed np toads in this ma ner for the achievement of certain charms.
