Greenville, Miss, a party of iroA
founders go to Bolivar, Tenn, the la-
bOrers are for the plantation of Col.
w. r. Hunt, in Tunica county, Miss,
and the housemaids are TO remain in
the city, having already taken their
places in the families for whom they
were engaged. These people come
here with the aVOwed purpose of max
inc their homes with US, and the only
| regret is that their number is not
| greater, as no better class of immi-
grants ever settled in any country,
and no country eve needed thrifty,
industrious, working people as does
the South at present.
Der Berliner Kladderadatseh, Won
Frau Hoffmeister, continues TO be the
center of attraction to Jefferson street
loungers. A sumptuOus lunch, spread
at IL O'Clock every morning, fOaming
lager ice cOld), and wine of the comet
vintage, from the banks of the Rhine,
are some of Madam's sp~ecialtieS.
"A number of boys of both colOrs
and all ages from five to fifteen, are in
the habit Of meeting for play on the
south side of Market street, between
Third and Fourth streets. One OrtwO
of them are in the habit of using OBJ
scene and "cuss" words. We direct
the attention of the police to them in
the hope that they will abate them as
a growing and very Objectionable nui-
sance.
The cornerstone of the main
building to be erected for the Sardis
Miss Agricultural and Mechanical
Society will be laid on or about the
18th inst, under the auspices of Sardis
Lodge F. A. and a. NJ. Bro. A. j..
Wheeler, of Leila Scott Lodge of this
city will probably be the orator of the
occasion. The plans of the building,
by Mr.. Cook, architect of this city, are
admirable, and that when erected it
will prove an adOrnment to the live
little town of Sardis Us not to be
doubted.
You are a nice one, amt you,
Maria Mitchell? To go for to throw
an "open case knife at a "cuiIud
oman" big enough 10 be your great
great-grandmother! But you paid for
il " like a little man." and you ought
to let "them ten dollars learn you a
lesson, teach you to control your
temper, even under so great a provo
cation as having your fall inggun
bed" scratched up by Mrs. Snuff
colored Whitewater chickens. You
can go.
There is no passion more spectral
or fantastical than hate. Not even its
opposite, love, so peoples air with
phantOms as this madness of the heart.
But phantOms cannot Withstand the
light of day, and passions of hate and
jealousy fade into nothingness when,
lace 10 face, men recount the causes of
aversion. If newspaper conductors
encountered n another as often as
their publications meet in the same
Office or by the same fireside, the
world which the press inhabits would
be a veritable paradise. Therefore
there is a palpable necessity for press
conventions.
"A Memphian, just returned home
from a delightful run acrO5s the coun-
try, furnishes us few "reminiscences
of his jaunt. The Northern Watering
places were we'll attended, though few
Southerners were to be found among |
the visitors. Crops in Missouri, Illi-
nOis, Indiana and Michigan, and on
the Northern lakes, were good, but
cereals and grasses ON the Atlantic
coast were materially cut short by the
drUuth, which was also the case along
the route from Washington to Lynch 1
burg. Manufactures in the North and
East were brisk and business generally
promising. He does not think the st.

world by any means,
When we gave the facts in rela-
ton to the first settlement of Ten
and stated that just one hundred
years had elapsed since a white man
first found a home in this State, we
anticipated the interest which
the facts have excited. Readers of the |
APPEAL who have observed the effects
of this little publication of twenty
lines in local columns have seen
how it has evoked letters from Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, and
how readily interest is excited in
matters of local and personal history.
Why not now have a history of Mem
Dhis written, and why do not the Old
at Home employ a skilled
writer to accomplish this trust? Each
day materials are lost and old men
lie who could furnish invaluable facts.
john Burke is having a rough
Of it about now at the hands of
the law. John is an old employee of
the city, and has naturally contracted
the habit of getting STAYING drunk on
he slightest proVOcatiOn. While ON
1 spree the other day, he punched the
mead of one Mr.. Richmond, but es-
,aped until picked up by a policeman
On some other charge. Yesterday
morning he had a hearing at the First
District, and was fined SO. As soon
Is the sentence had been announced,
Mr.. Richmond, empowered as a spe-
,ial deputy, presented two State war
'ants-One charging John with assault
md battery, the other a peace war
yanked him off before JUS
ice Elliott for trial. The Police
let John 60 on condition that
when the magistrate vas done with
him he should be returned to the GUS
of the police, TO satisfy the fine
evied against him. John will be
July sObered by the time he is clear
# the meshes of the law.
Oscar Moore, who appears TO be
more of a man than the evidence i'm

rraigned before the Second District
'olice Court yesterday evening on a
barge of chucking Mrs. NJ. out of a

cook-stOve after her to burn :
