police, or by parties who came in from
hat region yesterday.
Hans Margum was assessed $50 yes
terday by the Recorder on the charge Of
drunk and assault, and vagrancy. He
appealed. Hans is wsnte in North Ala
bama, where he not long & committed a
deadly assault on a citizen for refusing to
treat him. II we are not mistaken there
is a reward offered for him in one of the
counties of North Alabama.
Sometime during the month of last
December Mr.. John l.. Cooke, book
keeper forNewton Ford IL Co., was robbed
of a watch and other articles, to the value
of $3.50 TO 5000. Suspicion attached to a
negro named James Robinson, in Mr..
Ford's employ at the time, and lately the
case was put in the hands of detective
John Kelly, who yesterday arrested Rob
inson, and on searching him, found the
watch on his person. A warrant for his
committal was taken out before Squire
Miller, yesterday, and he was sent to jail.
He will have an examination this morn
ing at nine O'Clock.
"A correspondent of thaS APPEAL,
writing from Valley Springs Miss, ON
he 18th inst, says: "I rode gu on my
plantation this morning, and to my sur
prise l met an army in the shape of the
army worm far more superior in numbers
than the armies of Prussia and France
combined; and [ nave no doubt that the
worm will be more Obstructive to the
South han the war in Europe. We had
the heaviest rain last night of the season.
In this neighborhOod it has rained for
the last three weeks. Thank God, 1 will
have corn enough"
of all painful things, can there be any
so excruciatingly painful as a bone felon"
We know of none that flesh is heir to;
and as this malady is quite frequent and
the subject of much earnest consideration,
we publish a late recipe for its cure, given
by that high authority, the London Lam
Get: "As soon as the pulsstion which in
dictates the disease is felt, put directly
over the spot a fly blister about the size of
your thumb nail, and let it remsin for six
hours, at the expiration of which time,
directly under the surface of the blister,
may be seen the felon, which can be in
stantly taken out with the point of a
needle or lancet"
We learn that the negroes of Mechan-
icsyille, Twelfth District, intending to
give a grand barbecue to-day, yesterday
sent into the city by Squire Holman an
invitation to the Democracy to send out
some speakers to expOund the Demo-
cratic doctrine to them. They are tired,
they say, of hearing it as represented
from the mouth of lying Radical SCALA
wsgs and carpet-baggers, and they wish
to have the word pure and indebted. We
understand that several talented speakers
are going out and will address these col
ored people, who seem so anxious to hear
the truth.
Col. Chas. McLain, the Nestor of the
Tennessee press, was robbed the night be-
fore last by some infamous vagabond of a
thief, who I" had not the fear of God be-
fora his avas - of oil his wearing anpara1
including boots, shoes, hats, etc. When
informed of the robbery, at an early hour
yesterday morning, we are told that Col.
McLain simply did not remark: THE
best in the world, the best in the world"
On the contrary, it is limited that he cursed
a few. We earnestly hope that the grace
less scamp who took the articles of cloth
ing may neve tax another drink until
be brings them back, or new ones in their
place.
Mr.. Georges, in Montevideo, s. A.,
preserves meat by immersing it in a
liquid composed of IS per cen water,
and a mixture of glycerin with acid sui
phite ofsoda and hydrochlOric acid, and
afterward strewing dry sulphite of soda
uponit, and sealing Theoretically in cans.
After the lapse of a year the flesh was
perfectly fresh. Before using, it must be
rinsed with dilute vinegar, and left ex-

thus prepared costs, in Paris, five cents a
pound, and is said to be a valuable article
o flood. Meat can also be kept perfectly
sweet by being immersed in melted
paraffine, and when required for use
only needs to be greatly heated to melt
of the covering of parafine, which can be
saved for further use.
We noticed by the telegraph yester-
day morning, that u precious repre-
sentative Roderick Random Butler had
been arrested for forgery. If the in
dictment included perjury and robbery it
would come nearer filling the bill. He
perjured himself when he took the oath
TO sustain the Constitution of the
United States, and then violated
it, openly and knowingly, by voting
for and sustaining acts ''outside the
Costitution," and it was so &C
knwledged by the miscresnt when he
thus casa his vote. That his ilk are rob-
bers all, is a fact too well known to need
a word of argument-tbey make it their
boast" RLeptof pOte PGrgG"-and they
have acted the thiefs part in their every
act since they have been in power. We
might even add in truth murder to the
Indictment, for how many an innocent
man now moulders in his grave, the vic
tim of their infamous legislation
We understand that the prince of
showmen, Robinson, has signified it his
pleasure 20 devote half the proceeds of
his afternoon performances to-day to the
Church Home, n ofour most needy and
most deserving charities. We hope this
announcement will be sufficient to fill the
circus to overlooking. 1t ought to. The
appeal of the orphans should never pass
unheard. We must succor and help them.
What easier way than by a few hours of
pleasure in the tents of Robinson, whose
circus has never been surpassed2 We
nave never had such a menagerie as that
which is an especial attraction at Robin
sons. Outside of the great Geological
gardens Of Europe there is no such collec-
ton of wild animals anywhere to be seen.
Parents should send their children. They
will find both amusement and instruction,
and they win have a real pleasure in the
knowledge that while enjoying both they
are contributing to the support of our or
phans, who, without father or mother,
must look to the public to protect them.
We hope the tents of our old and gener-
Gus friend will be filed to-day.
One of the oldest educational institu-
tions of Tennessee is the Columbia In
stitute. 1t has been in existence for
many years and has graduated many
among the leading and most cultured
women of the South. The system pur-
sued at the Institute is well calculated to
call and encourage the growth in
children Of all the better elements Of
their natures. II partakes Of the practi-
cal and seeks to make of those subjected
to Il useful members of society. What
ever a woman may be as a lady using the
m~uch-abused word in its original signih-
cancel she can be after b has passed
the educational ordeal of a school where
ladies preside, and are hearty workers in
a good cause. The institute 10 under the
patronage of the Episcopal Church, Bishop
Quintard being Visitor. and Rev. George
Beckett, Rector. Mrs. Martin, the prin-
cipal, Ia lady of experience, admirably
fitted Tor her work as an educator, and
conscientious in the performance Of 1t.
She is assisted by a corps of teachers pos
sesssd Of every quality that can contrib
ute 10 success, and 10 sustain the old-time
prestige of the school. If the graduates
Of the institute will only exert themselves
in its behalf, they can crowd its halls as
Of old, and sustain it in q style equal to
its palmiest day.
The notorious Phil Cunningham, one
of the most desperate and incorrigible of
the negro VagabOnds that infest the
city, walked into Clark's jewelry store
yesterday, and asked TO see ONE rings.
Mr. Cloudman, the polite and gentleman
ly attendant, not knowing b character
of the desperate, Immediately o out &
tray of rings, such as he asked to see, and
placed il on the showcase before him.
Cunningham picking out n OF the
heaviest eighteen carat rings in the tray
turned m started out of the store. The
manner of arranging the counters in
Clark's gave the thief not less than
