Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-09-04

ere they come here, that they are certain
TO recover their lungs and health. Not
withstanding the healthful and invigora-
ting air, people die here, and numer-
| ously at that, as is evidenced by the well
/ populated cemetery Of the city, and also
| by the large number Of marble yards
I that are scattered throughout the city,
and the immense amount Of monu-
/ ments and tomb stones they keep
in sight. The expenses of funerals,
however, are much less than the
same luxury is in the south. This
viii be some consolation TO those who
cannot afford 10 die and be buried ex-
| travagantly. All other expenses are
much less than at other resorts. Good
hotels charge two and a half to three
dollars per day, or fifteen dollars week
in st. Paul, Minneapolis, and at the
country resorts on the lakes, etc. AZ
the latter places the bill includes bathing
and boating privileges. Single horse
teams cost five dollars day in st. Paul.
Two horse carriages, with drivers, cost
ten dollars q day, or the trip. A horse
and buggy for an evening ride Of two or
more hours, costs three dollars. The
livery stock is unusually fine at sll the
stables. The horses are hardy and en-
during and generally fast. They seem
to be Of Morgan and Canadian, and &C.
casiOnally Indian blood. A drive Of
f)rty or fifty miles day is a very ordi-
nary trip Tor them.
The expense Of trip from St Louis is
twenty dollars by the steamers Of the
northern lines. From Memphis, the eX-
pense OF 3 through ticket makes the
trip cost less. By the magnificent swift
steamers of the northern line the river
passage can be made with more comfort
and under the careful attention Of as
fine set Of officers as | ever met with
on the river. l have thus been careful
to make these notes of expeLses and
routes, that your readers who come
hither may calculate nearly what the
cost OF trip will be also to answer the
thousand and one questions that l am
subjected to daily.
With regard to the sentiment one
meets with in St. Paul and vicinity, the
visitor need not fear any annoyance on
the score of being from the south. The
people Of this country are universally for
getting the almighty dollar, and in that
pursuit is sunk every irritating principle
of politics. The political sentiment is
about equally divided in the city between
conservative and radical. Men freely
speak out their opinions and publish
them fearlessly. A rebel can utter his
Febellious sentences without danger Of a
fiogging or annoyance. The rads take
rebel peoples money with as much gustO
and as many thanks as they do from
other folks.
Almost every person who is here from
the south has been much improved ia
health, and enjoy the pleasures Of their
surroundings with indiscribable zest.
They are exceedingly eulogis6c in their
praises Of everything, the kindly treat
meHt and accommodations they received,
and the delightful pleasures they are
enjoying.
RegretfuHy I left st. Paul, and my
only eonsOled for the loss by feeling my
self breathing with indeseribable salts
factisn the clear, cool, dry air that is
blowing across the surface Of Lake
Pepin, and from the deck Of the
steamer 1 look wistfully to the misty
blue outline Of hills that border its west
ern side, wishing myself there and en-
joying the glorious views and exquisite
luxury OF its charming atmosphere and
delicious game.
We are listening to hear the echOing
diTge that the legend tells Us the spirit Of
eide immOrtaliZed the place, and whose
ghost utters often in the beautiful moon
lit air. Ifher weird presence appears on |
the Lovers Leap, and l hear anything
that I can construe into q resemblance
Of 3 ghOstly death wall | will tell you of
il anon. COUSIN NOURMA.
