Raising C Its.

Never expect to have a good horse if
YOU cram your colt; it cannot be done
The old adage in Vermont, "A ragged
colt makes the best horse," means every
thing. Your colt, then, should run with
lis dam until it has reached that condition
of the stomach which will enable it to
digest solid food. Then take your colt
and let 1t have abundance Of free, cold air
to begin with, and, in addition TO that,
avoid the feeding of grain until it is three
years old as you would avoid feeding
brandy and water TO your children when
they are little.
1t Is astonishing how many nice colts
are ruined by the excessive use of stimu-
lallng gram food i'll their infancy so to
speak. Let your colt mature slowly,
lis b he grow properly, its digestive func-
tions be properly organized, its flesh in
proper conltlon..-neyer fat. Horse fat is
the poorest lat in the world. Keep it
upon the best hay in Winter. and good
sweet pasture in Summer, and you will
make the best possible horse Of that colt.

Two white Men and a Negro at Fork
They Have tneir Labor o NRusht.

About twelve O'Clock IN Friday night,
while the storm wss raging fiercely, q
party consisting Of two white men and a
negro effected an entrance into the store
Of Mr.. Joseph Tagg, on Main street. by
cutting out the panel of one OF the doors.
Their object seems to have been to rob
the safe by boring and blowing the lock,
for they were we'll prepared with all toe
necessary tools for the purpose; but Capt.
Perry, Of the Second District, was on the
alert, and having watched the party
closely, allowed them to get fairly at
work, when be made his appearance and
cOolly asked them to surrender, which
they quietly did, and were taken to the
lower station house, where they gave
their names as w. H. DonnelIy, Louis
Cross ard Andrew Young-the latter a
negro. Yesterday q warrant vas sworn
cut before Justice Griffith against the
burglars, and the hour Of trial fixed at
twelve o'clock, but the Police, in escort
ing The prisoners to the office Of the Jus
tice, lost the negro, who managed to
make good his escape. The two white
me- waived an examination, and were
sent up in default Of bonds to the amount
Of i've thousand dollars each. Why they
should have attempted to rob the safe OF
Mr.. TRgg is unknown, ST there was 40
money there to steal; and the militia
papers, if any there were, could not be of
much value to such thieves.

THE FLORAL TRIBUTE.

Editors Memphis Appeal:
Yesterday having been designated by
the managers Of the Floral celebration
as the most appropriate and becoming
day for this solemn ceremonial, and the
~unfavorable weather having prevented
our people from rendering this tribute to
the dead, we hope they will meet on
this day-the Holy Sabbath-the true
and hallowed anniversary Of the sur
render of General Johnston's army, and
beneath the quiet and sacred shades of
Elmwood, and in a becoming manner,
stTew "loves last gift" on the graves Of
our loved dead. There is no day suita-
BILE for these solemn and necessarily re-
ligious ceremonies but the 18th day Of
April, tie day originally set apart by
our fair eounlrywonen as the time, and
whether IL falls upon Saturday or Sun
day, it is sacriiege to anticipate or defer
the day, thereby giving it a secular
character entirely st variance with its
holy nature. Let the sorrowful event
be eneircled with the solsmnity and
s~acredness of a day glowing in the halo
Of Heavens -sanetifcation, and let it be
hallowed as a day when all wOrldliHess
and bitterness Of feeling are laid aside,
and the cad, sweet duties solemnized in
q spirit in with its sacred
character.
Let the formal pageant meet on Mon
day and devote the day to the memory OF
cur dead. But let those who cannot leave
Their avocsti0ns on that day, and who
believe that strewiag flowers on the
grave CT 3 dearly loved brother, or affac-
tiouate son, relatiye, or friend is no desc.

and hottest impulses, visit the silent rcity

divineIy hallowed day, visit the tomb Of
their loved one, bedew the cold mold
with tears and strew thereon the fragrant
spring e0ronals, without the imputation
Of Sabbath Dissertation g?
We nave no respect for such Puritan
ism, and we earnestly hope 1.-THE weather

day, quietly and without pOmp or dis
play, scatter the bourgeous Of SPRING

and thus re-enshrine it in cur heart OF

Festival for St. Mary's church.

Festival fer ST. Mary's Church.
MEMPHIS, April q, lS6s.
Editors Memphis Appeals
noticed in Fridays issue Of the AP-
PEAL that you had heard of the Festival
to be given by the ladies of st. Msry's
Church under the " sanction of the Rector
and Vestry.n
Please allow me a little space in your
paper to prevent a misunderstanding of
the position which I have hitherto main
tanned, and now maintain, on this and
kindred subjects.
l believe that language, food and wine
are among the gOOd gifts of GOD gifts
too, hat have been greatly abused, but
because there are blasphemers, gluttons
and drunkards, 1 have never seen the
necessity of eeasiDg to talk, eat and
drink, or Of signing any pledge to ban
ish language, food and wine from the
good gifts which are to be used with
thanksgiving.
Labor and recreation are certainly in
accordance with the laws of God and
nsSAre, but we oil know that thew are
hsyasutly ab0ssd aR6 naa6o sabserziaut
70 the world, the flesh aud the devil"
There appears to be no inprOpriety in q
number of men devotiDg q day 70 fish,
iBg and giving the proceeds OF the days
labor or recreation 10 the Church, while
there does appear to be very great wick
eaneSs in ~devGtiBg q day TO labor and
recreation, which are sinful ia them
selves, and then insulting God by offer-
ing Him the ilEgotten gains of such in
EQUITY.
Faithful wOmen-even such as Martha
and Msry-by honesty and godIy sin
cerity, can make their labor and recre&.
ton q Misunderstanding into the Lord, and
they need not be deferred from such la
Dor and recreation because they have
been abused and made a pretext for
rafting and gambling. Faithful women
may yet talk, though the gift Of speech
has been 50 grossly abused.
/ believe the desire OF all connected
with the Festival is to act iR good faith
and Christian honesty, and Just az pro-
portion as they go act, 1 sanction their
undertaking, and most cheerfuily bid
them God-speed.
Imost sincerely desire that every one,
on the first day Of the week would place
his offering on the Altar, according TO
his ability, as God bath prospered him,
but I believe that the proceeds OF honest
labor a innocent recreation are &C
ceptable to God and will insure His
blessing.
Festivals, etc., as we all know, have
been abused, to the scandal OF, Christi
aDity and ordinary worldly honesty, but
which of Gods best gifts to man has not
been abused? We are not required to
renOunce anything merely because of its
ABUSE. Believing that the I2die5 engaged
in this Festival will conduct It with
Christian propriety, 1 hope that their
lsbors and their cause will commend
themselves to all good and honest people.
Truly yours, RICHARD HINES.

CUT GLASS AND THEK. 4. K's.-There
Is no branch Of business which demands
& nicer discrimination, . ehaster judg-
ment OF a more refnsd taste, than that
Of the qaeenswsre, eroekery and china
business. It is an important branch Of
art-trade. Those who engage in it must
necessarily be men of fine natures, 9TH
erwise they would choose some other Oc-
cupation. What could be more condu-
Give to the cultivation OF refined taste in
children than the shape, quality and or
naments Of the coffee cups, tureens and
other vessels Of the tea table, the house
hold furnishing goods, the cutlery, the
goolets and glasses that are handled and
seen by them every hour Of ev-
cry day? 1t is no wonder that
we have cut glass fanciers and
ssvrea ware enthusiasts, since these are
among the most elegant, chaste and pure
articles of domestic economy. Even
the toilet articles Of q people proclaim
their advancement and refinement.
When Herculaneum and Pompeii were

stroyed them, the vessels and implements

A NEGRo THIEF SHOT.
He Aftemps TO Rob a store and Is KILLED
BY tAe Proprietor.

About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Mr.. Podesta, who keeps q grocery
store on the corner of Madison and
Second streets, discovered m q Ia
the act Of crawling through the transom
light over his front door. Mr.. Podssta,
who sleeps in the store, being prepared
for all such customers, welcomed the in
truder by a fusilAde, which, for the
would-Ge burglar, was anything but q
fea de jOje, for he fell outward on the
pavement. On the arrival Of the police
on the spot, it was found that the bullet
Of Mr.. Podests had been well aimed,
and the midnight r0bber, who turned out
to be = villainous son Of Ham, one Miles
Porter, had gotten bis probable q%uietus,
having been shot through the breast, and
was then bleeding internally. He was
found to be SO desperately wounded that
is was thought best TO remove him to his
home, where, yesterday afternoon about
three O'Clock, he died.
