0l, Yu. O-o Ym, I Gat Yao Now A Yotag Han Uzar by Lewis Eubank breaking the 1 a point on I crossed by tb named Lewta signed the ouon Laat Sunday night about 9 o'clock, Mr. James H. Letar, a young man whose oome ia on the corner of Georgia and Fifth streets, Fart Pickering, was shot in the knee, two bails passing through and e. The deed was done at oonnah creek, where it ia oily Ford road, by a man banks.

The reason as- to have been the provo- a holism, was, aa stated Mr. bur that Kubauka had been telling some lies on him, and be accosted him about it to know tbe why and the wherefore." Eubanks oommenoed ing him, and threatened to cat his throat, cut hia heart out, drawing his knite and retaining it in his hand all the while. Mr. Lesar, who had no weapon of any kind, told him to put down his knife and he would whip him. This Eubanks re- fuaed to do, and Mr.

Lezir seeing he could do nothing with an armed man, retired. Thia occurred on Saturday. Eubanks went Sunday, and took a gun from the house of William McKlnuey, and was seen by several persons passing through fields and woods during the day. On Sunday Mr. L'-iw wns advised by some of bis friends to see Eubanks, and trv to compromise the matter without a difficulty, and accordingly Mr.

Lezar went to the place where he expected to rind Eubanks, not adviaed of Eubanks' murderous Intentions, and wait jd at the place to see him for the purpose of ing matters, without any difficulty, until about o'clock. Eubanka not ing, Mr. Lezar was returning to the place at which he waa making bis aojourn, in the neighborhood. He had not gone far before be beard some one in tbe thicket and the click of a gunlock. ously with his turning around facing the gunner, who proved to be Eubanka, the gun was tired, Lestr fell, and Eubanks exclaimed "Oh yes, you, I've got you now." Eubanks Med, and had not been captured at last accounts, though a warrant was issued Monday for hia arrest.

Walter Barrington was with Lezar when he was ahot, and seeing Lesar fall, fled to the house, near by, procured assistance, returned and removed Mr. Lezr to the house. Dr. Luster waa called in to see him, and on Monday he waa removed to the house of his step father, Mr. Williams, in Fort Pickering, when Dr.

A. White waa summoned to attend him. His leg waa penetrated by two buckshot, which passed entirely through st the cap of the knee and just above. Dr. White says his leg will nave to be amputated, and perhaps even that will not save hia life.

A TRIBUTE TO GENIUS. We have heretofore spoken in mendation of the novel by Josephine R. Hill, a little girl of tbia city, aged thirteen years. Wa are gratified to learn that the work baa met with success. Those who have purchased a copy epeak in the est praise of Miss Hill's first effort as an author.

She dedicated her work to ihe pupils of the "Armour Institute," and Mrs. Armour, the talented principal of that popular school, in the letter low gracefully acknowledges the pliment, while paying a juat tribute to genius and giving Misa Hill Bound and well-timed advice Dkak Josik. I have finiahed the pe rusalof your book, and desire in this way to thank you lor your thoughtful kindness in presenting me with a copy. As a school, we thank you for dedicating to us your nurseling, and bid you in all your efforts to make to yourself a name among authors, "God speed." Dear aie. Jiet you stan lard high go on to perfection.

God has given you many talents. Show Him how grateful you are for Hia precious gilts. Wi'-h your vivid imagina ion. converting the real into the ideal; weaving the gorgeoua fancies from what passes uunoticed to more practical minds gifted with a power of expression which' perforce faatena the attention of the reader, you have within you tbe germ of a power which may move tbe hearts and liifluence the lives of thousands. Many will flatter you, and it will be ing strange if you do not sometimes feel that vour reputation is established, and you have nothing to do but write out tbe "fancies which teem in your brain, and all will praise you.

May you never fail into such an error, for bitter would be your tvrakeninir. Let me suggest a course for you for the next two years. Lay aside works or fiction, ana make yourself converaaut with the tory of your own and other nationn. pel yourself to write from memory of the ustoux uf different nations, the dates of great events, etc. Memorize passages from the beat poets, atudy the conatruo- tlon of aentenoea.

that you may never be guilty of a grammatical error; which is inxt uaabie in an author. Become iar with mental and moral philosophy. Ia a word, cultivate to the beat of your ability the talecta with which you are so richly endowed, and you will become a truly great authoress and a noble woman. That you may become all this la the nest prayer of your affectionate friend and teacher, EMILY B. ARMOUR.

Aemocb Isbtitutb, May 13, 1871. It ia the duty of the Southern people to encourage talent whenever it developes itself in their midst, and this novel has peculiar ciaiuia upon tbe public, for it is bv a Tennessee girl aud printed by a nessee house that of Boyle dt Chapman These areciaima worthy of consideration; but they are far from being the aole or even the chief tion of the work It may stand on its own merits, unassisted by any other siderations, and demands public support.

The examination of tbe public schools at length reached Court street yesterday. On account of bow well thia school did last year, great things were expected trom it by ita friends, and they were not disappointed. The pupils, the lovely taoea of many of whom were familiar to our learned reporter, did even much ter than was anticipated. The numerous gentlemen who attended tbe examination yesterday were actually astonished st tbe evidences of rapid improvement that were shown. THE FIRST SrBOOL EXAMINED was thst of Miss Kate arris.

This is a primary institution for girls. The pupils presented a pleasing appearance, being not only neatly dressed, but beautiful. They were examined In the elements of geography, arithmetic, orthography, ing and other primary branches, and gave proof of careful drilling in them. Our learned reporter could not help noticing the prevalence of the blonda in the classes. He observed one class in raphy consisting of nine pupils, and eight of them were decided blonds.

Very singular, isn't It? The following pupils got prizes for portment and other good qualities! Laura Carntb, Ella Lyde, Fannie Wolf, Tilda Emricb, Honora McDonald, Nora Hol- lahan, Mamie Hughes. Georgia Kel- lar, 15" sip Drury, Fannie Higgs; and Lorena Specht got a medal for rior merit. Jennie Brown would have it a prize but was at home sick; and Iu the list waa the name of Mary Beehn, with the simple and afiectiDg comment tached, "already rewarded." Maggie Boisseau also got a prize. MISS BCATTIE CROW'S SCHOOL. The great trouble with these tions ia that an hour or two is not enough in which to give a fair chance to the pils to show any thing like the extent or nature of their acquirements.

In the case of Miaa Crow's school, this became fully apparent, when it was found sary to cut off a class before they got half Into the business, when, aa Miss Crow very pertinently remarked, tbey were just Deginning to tell what they knew, when they just warming up with their subject and their eyes commenced to sparkle with the intereat and ment of the contest. The first exercise in Miss Crow's school waa respecting the multiplication table, from twice to ty times a most useful thing in this otili- tariau age of go-aheadism, when people can't be bothered spending a half hour counting and figuring. Besides, it bles the pupils to get over the ical ground twice as quick as they could were their knowledge of the tables perfect. Song, with melodeon accompaniment, by a young lady from Miss Hughes' school, "The world is full of beauty when the heart is full of joy." The next waa the mental arithmetic olaas. The girla of this class did ceedingly well.

Not one of them failed. Our learned reporter saya they deserve much credit. They went through the most complicated problems in a masterly manner, ing a power ot analysis and force of oning quite marvelous. Another claas in arithmetic showed their familiarity with the long lis1, of tables, which it is sary to know; such aa time, weights, measures, coins of England and America, linear and solid measure, liuida, ciotb measures and all that sort of thing. The pupils were thorough in these, giving the Bigu for each unit ot measure oi sny sort.

Our learned reporter looked upon this as being an extraordinary feat of memory, as also illustrating the vast benefits of "cramming." The fact is, we must "cram" before we can make any progress. More singing by the school. "The Mountain Maid's Invitation." Tbe classes in geography were put up, but didn't get a fair show.no more than the arithmetic classes. The number ot facta known by the geography classes is simply wonderful. Even those who have gone through the curriculum themselves would be amazed at the amount of knowledge displayed by those very young ladiea.

Not one politician in three dred and twenty could tell, with half the promptitude, the name and situation of the State capitals of the United States. Even our learned reporter has forgotten many of them. He could sot tell now, for the consideration of a glass of cider, whether Lansing or Kalamazoo is the greater town, nor what is the capital I Michigan. Let any one try to repeat over tbe names and situations of all the States, with their capital and principal rivers, and be convinced how little he knows. But then when we carry the investigation outside of this glorious country and tend to show au equal familiarity with tbe geography of every otuer, how beautifully we faii.

Tbia is a fair way by which to judge of tbe vast acquirements ot thoae pupils when they stand up on examination day to tell what they know. Not only was tbe dry ledge which they showed indicative of what had been done for them, but the spirit they displayed, tbe sparkling eyes, the glowing cheeks, the speaking lips, the general qui vive which marked their every movement, told tho tale of what sort of instruction they bad. They were en port with the examiner throughout. trast these yleasmg features with a dull, trembling, duolous crowd of children, all awkwardness and misery, to whom tbe whole thing would be a bore. All these things must be taken into consideration in forming an estimate of what has been done for tbose children.

The effects of sound cultivation are shown in thing. Those children showed intollect that had been roused into sctive exertion by the skilful touch of a master hand, READING. Mamie Lopez was oalled on to read the "Queen ot the May," by Tennyson, a most beautiful piece, and difficult to read. She went on the teachers' platform and read it with a clear, firm, lated voles' and win a touch of feeling that was mature, tbe product of intuition rather than of judgmenl. Who is sible to the charms of good reading? It ia an acquirement, or rather a genius, which some esteem superior to that of good singing.

It is nearly equally as rare. Tbe little Miss Lopez read that piece in a manner that defies criticism, if we were disposed to indulge in it. Her posture is graceful, the tones of her voice quiet, firm and sweet. She masters them by a well regulated taste; her actions are few, but graceful and tllsctive. She showed all the qualifinationa ot a good reader, and impressed the audience with that viction.

RECITATION. Miss Lucille Galloway recited a piece like a miniature actress. Her subject was an affecting account of a scene during the famine in Ireland. Lucille made a great impreasiou a year ago in this school. She has been diligently studying ever aince.

Her manner uf reciting is pleasant. She has a siDgularly sweet voice, and equally sweet, sprightly face. She speaks well, and did her teacher much credit day. "Beautiful Bella," a Bong, waa next given with fine effect. Mary Taylor, a brilliant, blonde, sweet little girl, stepped upon the platform, and making her bow gracefully, announced her subject, "Antony and Cleopatra," with prompitude and decision, and menced ber reoitalion.

The piece requires considerable power. She did it full justice. The Question is, where do these ohildren find models? Tbey speak better than we are In the habit of hearing off the stage. Miss lor did singularly well with the gigantic, masculine aubject abe bad to handle. PRIZES.

The following young ladies took prizes for diltutence. stood oanduot and ship: Frankte Smith, firat premium and a wreath of flowers; Rose M. Rtiffin, Katie Rutfin, Jsie Hlldebrand, Emma Lumpkin and Mamie Lopez. Mr. Leatb, in presenting tbe premiums, waa evidently much pleased.

He aaid that it afforded him much gratification to tmow premiums on pupils oi such cnar- acter. He said that there wouid be a further examination of the school and ditional prizes awarded on Monday. It was impossible to do anything Ukejustice to auoh a large and fine school In tbe very abort time allowed. Song, with chorus, by the school. Tb.

music on tbe iuelodeon was nished by Miss Julia Woodward, a liant pupil of Miss Higbee'a school. MISS B. HABVBY'a BOOM. Thia ia a grade higher than tbe school oar learned reporter baa just left. The opening exercise was a pastoral dislogue between four young ladies, representing 8pring, (Miaa Merri weather) Summer, (Misa Gertrude White) Autumn, (Miss Rosy Byrne) and Winter (Miss Lizzie Cash).

A PHI AK CONTEST IN BEADINO was got up and a committee uf three pointed to decide on the merits of the testants. After reading by over a dozen tbe contest waa reduced to two Miss Jessie Leubrie and Misa Matfie White. Many among them our learned reporter were strongly of the opinion that Miss Leubrie was the best reader. The other young lady bad ber admirers also. Miss Leubrie was dressed in white, snd Miaa White bad a buff dress.

Among tbe audience there were two parties, the white party and tbe buff party. Tho judges argued and considered for an hour, and finally agreed to report aa follows: We find the following named young ladies, of the firat division, to be the boat readers of tbe dlvieion, and very nearly equal: Miaa Mattle White, Mies Josephlno Leubrie, Miaa Annie White, Miaa Clara Smith, Misa Mittle Malone, Misa Ada Burr, Miss Jennie Risk. We award the prize to Miss Mattle White, but conalder the contest very close between her and Miss Leubrie, R. D. PRAYSER, E.

J. COMER, J. C. LOPEZ. Miaa White is an estimable young lady, of much cultivation, and daughter of T.

S. White. Tbe committee announced that tbey would give a book to Miss Leubrie to-day. because they consider her worthy of it. Another contest In reading waa got up, consisting of a class of twelve, with a committee of ladles aa Judges Miss Hlgtes, Mrs.

Lopez Mrs. Burr and Mn. Risk. After going round the claas, ihe contest waa reduced to Misa Jennie Fin- ner Miaa Lucy Merri wether and Misa Lillle Thrall. Miaa Merri wether got tbe prize, though to the criticsl ear of our learned reporter Miaa Finnerty appeared to be a better reader.

Song with melodeon accompaniment: recitation by Miss Merriwether, Beau tiful Snow "well done. Her tion is much better than her ing. Sbe then becomes herself; then abe follows ber own native intuition free from all reatraiot and she shines, her genius cornea out. A knowledge of her superior skill in this way, may have influenced 'he committee iu awarding her the prize for reading. THE PRIZES were given to the following young iadies: Ida Graham, Mlttie Malone, Gertrude White, Dora Rogers, Sally Seessel, M.

Frank, Lillle Thrall aud Jessie Morris. There wss only one decided blond in this crowd; there waa only one decided nette also: the others were inclined to be blond. There was no time in which to go into the merits of this school as they deserved. MU9 MABY CAIRNS. The visitors snd others, friends of the pupils, now rushed into Miss Cairns' room, a grade higher than the one just spoken of.

The young ladiea of thia achool are very superior in ship and general culture. Our learned reporter felt proud ot them as he threw a pleased eye around on the achool, and noticed everywhere accumulating dences of refinement and correct taate. Here, he said to himself, ia a scene of which Memphia may feel justly proud; but yet there Is even a better than this. There are two other schools ot a higher grade, and there are other schools in the city that bear the marks of careful ing and superior brains. However, this is enough for one day.

WOHKS OF ART. The first objects, after the young ladies, that our learned reporter set his eyes on, were beautifully executed maps, hung up, framed, upon the walla. Two in lar attracted his attention. Tbey were maps of the Uuited Statea, drawn by Lillie Alexander and Nellie Streeter. It wouid take longer time than our man could spare for investigation before anything like a decision could be "given upon the relative merits ot thoae works of art.

They appeared to be equally good. Some specimens of writing were submitted that by Lillle Bacbmsn appeared beautifully for elegance, ness, fair proportion and conaciencioua finish. Lena Alexander's received the praise ot our man cf loarning. The mens by Miss Bella Levy and Lillie Alexander were also very good. The peculiar excellence of those specimens, one which a newspaper man can fully preciate, waa the strict attention paid to spacing, to punctuation, and to proper proportion of each letter.

The exercises commenced with a logue between Ada Prince and Julia Pro- vine, who took the characters of two house-keeping ladits, who talk over every mortal thing, particularly their own grievances, chief among which are the vants. This is fully illustrated by another character, Biddy," who comes on tbe scene in the person of Miaa Rachel Comer, and disturbs everything by making the unpleasant annoucement that the buby is crying, mam." Tbe scene after this was a succession of disasters, and tbe wo ladiea had to conclude their tete-a tete, fully convinced that servants in general and Biddies In particular are tbe greatest annoyances that afllict genteel female manity. Thia little piece of business was much enjoyed and admired. Then there waa another scene in which Mioses Csrrie Byrde, Sallle Woodward, Carrie Duncan and Estello Miller pated. Fine thing.

Song, "Tranesdillo," nicely suug. Miss Smith, a fine young lady at the lodeon. CHOCOLATE PARTY. After tbe quartette there was what George Francis Train would call a sweet tea party, but which our learned reporter prefers to call a chocolate par'y, inasmuch as that is a more healthy drink. This party was designed to display the histrionic abilities of the young ladiea who took part in it.

They were Misses Ida Smith, Joae- phine Fischer, Annie Conneil, Lillie King, rtoBie Coieman, Jessie lame Plain, Lottie (uackenbush snd Lillie Alexander. In this little scene tbe young iadies represented a gatheriug of gossips, who-ventiiate the weaknesses of all mankind. They also ventilated escb other's husbands, whose little were discusaed very freely. The best remedy for a drunken husband that we have heard of was submitted for the approval of the gossippers by one of their number. Said she: If my husband was a drunkard, I'd drink a bottle ot whisky every time he'd drink a giaas." The whole scene waa laughable in the highest degree and pleased our learned reporter very much.

Song "Out on tha Streets," sung by Miss Ida Smith, who played tbe little organ. She is a delightful singer, and a very fine young lady every way. Chorus by the school. In truth, the musical accomplishments of the pupils in that building require a separate critique to do them justice. A PIECE OF RECITATION.

The piece that we have now to notice stands out from all the proceedings of the day ao a thing of beauty. Moat every one is acquainted with N. P. Willis' splendid epic, in which he pictures, with a master band, the almost divine sorrow of David for the loss oi bis son Absalom. This soeue was -tslected by Miss Mattie riwether yestsrday, and she delivered it.

The very attempt was heroic. MIhs Mat- tie ia a little lady of about ten years. She speaks like Mrs, Bowers. Nothing could be finer than ber rendition of the pa- shii which pictures David bowed over the dead body of his boy giving words to his row. Tbe Merriwe ther family in the Court street schools monopolize much of the honor of tbe establishment.

Her cution waa faultless. Her manner quiet, elegant, dignified. The whole room, filled as It was out to the door and beyond, was hushed. It was a apiendid thing. Thau followed another social scene, which was well done, by Misses Mattie Patton, Lena Alexander, Lillie Alexander, Ida Smith, Lillio Trader, Lillie Bachman, Tn lie Frank and Nellie Streeter.

MAY KK.N The next exercise was lovely. A Queen of May, or some other equally attractive and rich territory, came in, followed by an extensive train of maiden followers. They marched in to the tuue of "Our Beautiful Queen." The queen, Miss zie Richardson, wss splendidly dressed and royally crowned. She la a beautiful young lady, and did her business with much skill and grace. Sbe gave general sai isl'action.

After mounting the platform Sbe delivered a pretty address, ing with "Joy to you all Her ants wore worthy of their royal mistress. Then tbey had a dance all round. A young lady, Mias Nora Graves, senting "Punctuality," marched in, went up before her msjesty and preferred her olaiina for distinguished honors. The Queen at once, ana graciously, edged the claim and conferred a crown of flowers. Then there was a triumphal burst of music.

Tbe "Tardy Scholar" came shuffling In, making excuaes, but they would not be accepted. Sbe got a reprimand, and wss sent away. Miaa Betty Stanley peraon- aled the tardv scholar. Tardy as she was, she could sing; for she Joined the others in the 'reeiBtleas eloquenoe" of song fore she retired. The others jeered st her, and kept up the chorus, "Tardy scholar is your name," aung to the tune of pagne Charley." "Perseverance" waa represented by Miss Jessie Postal.

She was also rewarded with a wreath of flowers and an ing speech from Her Majesty. Then there was the "Lazy M. J. Wascher, another elegant aampie, many of which we have seen In our hupp happy youth. Miaa Julia Provine did the character, as well as she could.

It was easily seen that it waa agamst her moBt sacred feelings that sbe took the partaaM Lsainesa. She was also sent away with a sharp reprimand. Ther'Selflah Scholar," Inea White, had tbe impudence to ask to be introduoed to theschool, but the Queen would by no manner of meana allow it, on the oontrary sbe was sent to join the ignominious band of tardiness and laziness outside The "Generous Scholar," Misa Julia Provine, waa well received; all had a good word for ber. She was also crowned in a proper manner. When these little scenes were over, the tardy, the lazy, the selfish held a sultation, compared notes, aud finally agreed it would be beat to reform.

They repented, and were admitted in a body to the achool, being warmly welcomed all round. They wore taken back to the house of happy hearts, and there was a scene of general joy. PRIEBB. Then tho prizes were distributed to tbose who won them. First, there was a gold shield, bearing the Inscription Highest Honors, awarded to Lillle ander, for Superior Merit," and on the other side waa inscribed tho following: May 24th, 1871.

Mary D. Cairns." Tbia latter, it will be remembered, la the name of (he teacher. The Brat la the name of tbe happy and moritcirioos leeipient. The other young ladies who got miums of Englliih in this school, are Mattle Patton, Julia Pro- vine, Lottie Quae ken bush. Nelly Streeter and Miss Lizzy Richardson the quean .) Seng and march out.

This ends the account which our learned reportei gave ua of tbe tion in tbe lower grades of the Court street building. THE LEE MONUMENT. Appolataaat af a Local Agent ta Caavats la watt Teaaeaaea. The attention of the public ia narticu lariy called to the following: TO THE CITI.BNa OF MEMPHIS. The weather getting warm, and being unable, owing to my indisposition, to vass your city aa actively aa the prise demands, and being anxious to get through and repair to other fields of rations, I hsreby appoint Mr.

J. M. Shaw, one of your old and reaponaible citizens, as agent to assist me in the work, with full power and authority to obtain scriptions to and collect funds for the erection of the grand national monument to General Lee, in Richmond, Virginia. The enterprise la, I hope, thoroughly understood; is one that commends itself to all (rue Southerners, and we teel aure will be esteemed a duty as well as claimed a privilege by all such, to asist iu furtherance of the object, and thus, by our united efforts and means, erect a monument to the ous dead that we. aa a people, if not a tion, will be proud of.

and such an one as will be worthy of the great and good man whose name and virtues it is Intended to perpetuate. I trust, therefore, the responses to Mr. Shaw from the citlzena may be both prompt and libsral, so that Memphia may do her part toward the great work, aa her sister cities of the aouth have dons ana are doing. B. FRAN MOORE, Agent Lee Monumental Association of Richmond.

We indorse Mr. Shaw as worthy the confidence of the public. Here, in phis and Shelby county, where be is well known, everybody will Indorse him. GOVERNMENT CLAIMS. Importaat ta Claimants.

The firm of Moyera A Dedrick, ment Claim Agents, No. 40 North Court street, is one of the best and most bly kuown in the entire Southern coun- country. The business they transact an nuaily is simoat unparallelled, and lions of dollars are collected each year by this energetic firm, who have been successful in the prosecution of claims before the Departmeuta at Waabiugton. To-day Col. Moyers leaves for that city to prosecute a claim involving an amount oi 185,000.

on behalf of Mr. Waddy son, of thia aity, for provender furnished to the quartermaster's department during the war. CoL Moyera gives hia ual attention to all the claims submitted in this city, Mr. Dedrick being in charge ot the branch establishment at ViakBburg. Promptitude, energy and integrity have ever charrcterized this firm, and hence the great success whichbaaeverattendedtheir efforts in the collection of bounty and other claima agaiust the Government.

They are at present engaged in the sentation of claims, under the new act, of what are familiarly known as claima for the furnishing cf supplies to tbe sary and Quarter-master's Department. Already over three hundred of these have oeeu filed and arrangements made to lake the testimony with tue utmoat facility, so that claimants will be saved much trouble aud expense. All persons having claims ot this character against Government will do well to place them in the hands of this well known and popular Arm for lection. Yesterday afternoon Col Moyers, in the presence oi the writer, made glad tneneart of a widow by handing ber the amount of a claim she had against the Government. NOTICE.

There waa a procession in the There waa simply a band in the wagon, which notified folks of what waa aoinir on. At dark there were Are thousand people on the ground.

There Was mare tun there than was to be found at any rive previous picnics. Among the merous amusements that delighted the crowd was cigar smoking, kver drinking, dancing, donkey-riding, which did not come off. throwing quoits, prize dancing, in which Mrs. Schilling and Mr. Childress took the premium.

The fleet Garvin took the priae in foot racing. No one can equal Oarvin at foot-running. Some young lady of extraordinary attractions whose nsme we could not learn, took a bouquet, which was voted to her for being the most popular person on the ground. The wheel-barrow trundling was a feature of much laughter. The donkeys, when they found that they oomd not run, dropped their ears In jorrow, but tbe crowd only laughed the more.
