PRESTO--CHANGE!
A Charming Woman Before and
After a Sea Bath.

Letter 70 the Cincinnati Gszette1
Isaw q wonderful transformation at
the beach this morning.
charming" woman, who has been
for many years 3 belle and a married
hirt, and who Is well kRown in literary
circles, went down to bsthe, and re-
manned Ia the surf for fifteen minutes.
She is considered remarkably pretty, and
some Of her admirers call her NInon de
PEnclos, which pleases her, though II
my memory serve, that eccentric lady
was more famous for her well preserved
youth than her well preserved CONT
hence.
/ bad often marveled at her freshness,
her hne figure her wealth OF hair and
perfect teeth, and had thought OF what
Shskspeare says of Imogen. AS she
came up the beach from the bath. abe
passed me In full view. / was so sur
Drised by the appsrition that / kept nv
eyes rivsted on her person. I had no
notion.whOi IL was. IfIhsd had I should.
out Of ~pOllteness, have baen suddenly ab-
sOrbed by something ia an opposite
direction.
The IRA nsformatiOn Of the sorceress In
BoisrdO from dazzling beauty to hideous
deformity could hardly have beeu greater
than that l saw bsfore me.
the brilliant belle stood before me. old.
shFiveled, shrunken, Tepulsiye IN her I'M
relieved ugliness. The contour of her
form was gone; she looked like 3 cotton
umbrella with 3 broken frame, placed,
after . bard shower, Ia 6 corner TO dry.
Her complexion resembled 5 palimpsest
on which the old moRksahsd written
lugU0rious dissertations over erased ira
gedles Of the SneieDts. Her hair well,
she had none that / could see, though /
judged, from what Tesembled O hoFse's
tad under her srm, that she had taken It
en-. Her beautiful teeth-I say Il! Issw
The place where they had been but for
their safer keeping, she carried them in
her hand.
Alas! Alas No wild Imagination Of a
desperate lover could rehsbiIftate her.
She was like the 8OUth-beyond reeop-
struetOn. Talk of the rejuvfnating
power of the sea! Fifteen minutes in IL
had added fifty years to her life.
l was sorry to have been so sadly de-
ceived; TO have received such an
aesthetic shock. I thought, however. /
could endure it II she could, though /
wondered that the new half century that
had fallen on her had not crushed her
into the dust-into the ~graYe-into abso-
lute sipbycal dissolution.

CONGRESSMAN Al

The New York Evening Post does not
agree with its Radical brethereu OF
Tennessee, that the admission of q
Congressman at large from this
State is possible. 1t Gays, land

ring to the nomination Of SUGAR HAM
mTON
This wa done on the theory that the
enfranchised cOlored population entities
the State TO an additional Representa-
tive. Several papers disprOye OF this &C
ton. So far from there being q probs-
bilIty that Tennessee will be allowed q
ninth member of the House Of Repre-
sentatiVes, it is probable hat 81 soon
az the matter can be reached she will be
cut down to seven, in accordance with
the last constitutional amendment

rN orFfcE.

At the instance of gentlemen con
eerned, we published in Saturday and
| Sundays Issue Of the APPEAL, cards from
Alderman PAssMoRE and Alderman
MCDAvTFT, touching the alleged bribery
and corruption OF the former. Ia his let
ter, anss ering Alderman MoDAvITr's
note Of inquiry, Gen. FORREST distinctly
charges and gives as his authority for SO
charging, that Mr.. PAssMoRE received
1900 in paving bonds from MITCHELL,
the Nicholson pavement contractor, for
assisting to procure the contract in which
! Gen. FORREST was interested with him
for a short time. This, MITCHELL de-
uies In ateIegram t. PAssMORB, dated at
! Louisville, on the 30th of May, OF this
yesr. As sgainst the denial OF Mr.. Pass
1 MORE and MI. mitchell, OF Louisville,
we have the written statements Of Al
dermen MoDAvTTr and Gen. FORREST,
old residents Of Memphis, long and infiC-
entially connected with her prosperity
and growth, men of veracity and high
standing. In this state Of the case, we
think that Mr.. PAssMoRE who has al
ways borne an improachsble 0haTseter)
owes il to himself TO withdraw his resig-
nation and demand an investigation Of
the charges by the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen. He falling to doso, the Board,
in Justice to itself, in order to prevent the
spread among the people of s belief that
corruption among city o~fficialsi is general,
and in order to prevent an Impairment
Of their usefulness SIS 3 body, should
promptly take the necessary steps, first,
refusing to accept Mr.. PASSWORDS resig-
nation, to try him under the charges
made. In the name Of the people, We
demand that sn Investigation shall be
had, and that the facts be made apparent,
no matter who may be hurt by it.

In this case says:

Secretary McCullOch has declared him
self for Seymour and Blair. An evening
paper states that, in conversation with q
prominent officer, e ebert time sgc,
!. McCulIoch said he could no longer hest

should give his support and whstever
official patronage he could control to

he denounced, Ia ths strongest terms,
the financial plank IN the Democratic
platform, and said if il was carried cut It
would certainly bring hRaneial disaster
to the country. The only Objectionable
plank In the Republican platform was
that relating 10 reconstruction; bat, as
this was paramount at the present time.
to every thing else, he preferred uniting
himself with the Democratic party with
It's bad financial policy, to giving hIs
support TO q party which imposed such
conditions on the Southern States as
was done by the Republicans In their
reconstruction measures"

This is done for the purpose of clearing

of force pump gorged with uistern water
after which sealing plaster is put over his
mouth, and he is rolled in barrel four or
five times across the room
The choir at the same time singing the
cold water song.
He is now taken out of the barrel, and
hung up by the heels till the water runs
out through his ears.
He is then cut down. and beautiful
young lady hands him G lass of eisiern
water.
A cold-water bath is then furnished him,
after which be is showered with cistern
water
He is then made to read the water
works act ten times, drinking glass Of
cistern water between each reading
After which the ''old oaken bucket IS
hung around his neck, and fifteen sisters
with squirt guns deluge him with cistern
water
He is then forced 20 eat peek Of snow
while the brothers stick his ears fnll of
icicles.
Fl is then run through clothes wiring
err, after which be is handed glass of els
tern water by beautiful young lady.
He is then gorged again with estern
water, his boots filed with the same, and

The initiation is now almost concluded.
After remaining in the refrigerator for
the space of one half All hour. he is taken
out and given glass of cistern water, run
through the clothes-wringer again, and be-
comes Good Templar.

FAIrHFUL Unto DEATH. instinct often
shows human nature. In Greenwood
Cemetery stands, in little shaded and
seclude nook, pretty monument Of white
marble, over the remains of an officer who
was kille d at Antietam. During the en-
tire peninsular campaign this officer was
attended by a faithful dog. No bullet ever
grazed him nor was he a straggler III
any Of the long and weary marches
When the ballet LET out his masters spirit
the dog watched ceaselessly and unweari-
eddy until he was covered by the
sod And now, every night beside his
masters grave the dog comes, and his
walls of grief, like Racheps that will not
be comfortcd rise on the night air.
Fathers and mothers, and wives aud chill
dren may love, but what affection is more
sincere aud touching than that Of this dog !?
