Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-06-18

Avalanche had the check. Yesterday
morning, to talk about the "poor tax
payers" and their interests, in the mat
ter of the attempt by certain Interested
parties TO take the printing of the city tax
nsJ away from the APPEAL. Folks that
i've in glass houses ought not to throw
stones. We might tell a few facts about
the printing ofthe county tax Ist. which
would be edifying to the poor tax-pay-
ers-how certain debts are being paid,
for instance.
Our Pine Bluff eotemporary thus
speaks of the Memphis troupe which are
now performing there: "The troupe en-
braces a hrst-class corps of performers.
and is decidedly the most polished and
refined company ever before this people.
Thursday evening the Lady Of LvonsD
was on the boards, and rendered adnira-
bly,. Miss Quinn, an accomplished and
winning actress, gave a life-like represent
tation Of Pauline, and acquitted herself
beyond criticism; with Mr.. Younge as
Claude, Nj. Conner as BeGuseGRt, Mrs.
1ounge as dan DeschGppeues, Mr..
Nelson as Colonel DaRsGs, etc, the cast
was perfect, and throughout the whole
performance they displayed remarkable
taste and skill in their makeup and gen.
eral department.
We are mortified to have to chronicle
another escape from one of the special
deputies, which occurred late dav before
yesterday evening-the escaping prisoner
being the Mobile and Ohio railroad bag
gage master, Mcmillan, who was sent up
in default Of $4,000 bonds, for robbery from
the person, as detailed by us Yesterday
morning. After the prisoner was re-
turned co Jail in the evening, he asked
permission of the jailer to be allowed to
go down to the depot to settle up with
mis- employers, and straighten up some
baggage checks. His request was grant
ed, and he was put in charge Of Pat.
Burns, n Of the guards at the jail. In
a short time, as might have been expect
ed, Burns returned, but did not bring
Mcmillan. He had, however, a long rig
marole TO tell about how his prisoner got
away. General Wright, on hearing of the
affair yesterday morning, promptly or
dered Burns under arresty and he will be
tried for letting the prisoner escape. This
ought to be done in every instance where
it occurs, and we would soon hear no
more of escapGdes.
We call the attention of our readers
to the house of Boyle & Chapman, book
sellers and statiODers, 279M Main street,
successors to COwperthwaite, Chapman q
Co. We can hardly trust ourselves to
speak of the senior Of this firm, so high is
our personal esteem for him. And this
has earned at onr hands, just as he has
earned the confidence of the business mon
of Memphis and q high position among
them. In every capacity in which he has
been tried he has always proven himself
man of answering hdelity, of great
and high integrity. As the seniord
Of the firm of Boyle Il Chapman, Mr..
will so direct its affairs as to in
crease its good will and business and x
lend its name and character to the farthest
parts of the surrounding country. In this
work he will be ably assisted by Mr..
Chapman, whose business qualifications
ire of a high order, and also by a corps
If assistants, notably efficient and equal
o any demands by the public. Mr.. Chap
nan has been identified with the book
business of Memphis for the past six
1ears, and during that time has made tor
himself a high character as a business
nan. We predict for the firm of BOYLE & /,
chapman a grand success. With capital
nd such energy as they exert, nothing
ess would be their due. They have a
arge stock of books and stationery, '
flank books, ETC., and have unusual ia ]
ilities for all kinds of job and book
and binding. The foreman of '
heir job Office has no superior in this {
and the same may safely be said I
f the foreman of their bindery. All their i
York, Of whatever kind, is guaranteed to
i've satisfaction. {
