Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-01-16

UNDER the head of news items we
have a report from Rome that several
priests have petitioned the Pope to
declare himself infallible, but with a
clause that nobody need to believe it
unless they have a mind to. A West
ern Convention has recently resolved
that " the Federal Union ought to be
preserved" A London paper thinks
the national debt Of the United States
viii not be repudiated, because its
payment is easy and profitable to a
great many. A lady in Illinois ex-
pressed her establishment on learning
that Gen. WASHINGTON and julius
CESAR were both dead. The financial
minister of Baden-Baden offers for a
fair consideration to show u Gen.
SPINNER how to resume specie pay
ments without any specie. The Cap
tain-G General of Cuba has issued a
proclamation prOclaiming that peace
prevails, and that there is no place
in the island where the administra-
ton of public affairs or the action Of
the civil courts is not entirely recOg-
nized." Yet, at the same time, in
Congress a proposition has been intro
duced calling for the recognition Of
the Cubans as b~eIligerents. A little
more delay might endanger the poll
Of recognizing, when nothing re-
manned to be recognized. The Niaga-
"a river is still making an uproar and
tumbhng in an everlasting spree.

Eugenie's Monkey.

The Empress Of the French has
brought with her from the Orient a
monkey whom she calls JOckO.
JOckO does not ike the Tuileries. for.
while during the journey from Alex
andria to Paris, he always was in the
best of spirits he has, since he reached
the old palace of the Kings and En-
perOrs of France, constantly been
moody and even lost his vOraciOusap-
petite. The Empress, who is greatly
attached to her new pet, sent the 9th
er day for some of the wise men Of the
Jardin dies Plantes in order that they
might suggest some cure or relief Tor
the splenetic JOckO. After the con-
sultatiOn was over, the gentlemen
from the Jardin des Plantes were
treated to a champagne lunch, at
which one Of them rose and said.
Gentlemen, let Us drink to the En-
press and to the-m0nkey Of her
Majesty"

A PosTHumOus POgm. BY HEINE.

The FesLiche Post, of St. Louis, has
come in possession Of a magnificent poem
written by Henry Heine. The poem is
perhaps the best of Heine's posthumous
works, and has not yet appeared in Ger
many. The St. Louis Republican says:
In what manne it came into the posses
sion of the Post we do not know, but it is
curious that such a beautiful German po-
EN- is first published in America. 1t is a
pity, however, that it is offered to the
readers by piecemeals-every Sunday a
few columns only. No American paper,
we are certain, would remain in posses
sion of such a reasure for a single day
without publishing the whole at once.
Professor Davidson, of the Public High
School, has been kind enough to translate
for us the last thirteen stanzas of what is
already published, In the meter of the
original. These stanzas are ineligible
by themselves, and give a taste of the
beauty of the whole. The Professor has
promised to translate the whole in case
IN vet unpublished parts should prove
equal in excellence to the commencement.
Here is what he has favored US with 50
far:"
Virgin! unto thee alone
Bare my heart, to thee cOnfessing
What I ne'er could brook coufesSing
To a saint above in heaven.
For the saints are men, tho knowest,
And, Caracho! even in heaven
Never man shall smile with pity
over Juan Ponce de Leon.
Thou. o Virginl art a woman.
And, although u-nchanging ever,
And immaculate thy beauty,
Feelest with q wOman'S keenneSS
What he suffers, this ephemeraI
Wretched man, when all his bOdy's
Noble power and glory shTivel,
Shrivel-withCr 20 a mummy.
Happier far, alasl than we sre,
are the trees, that all together
Swift the Self-same wind of autumn
RObbeth OF their leafy glory.
Every one stands bald In winter.
And there is no youthful sapling
With young caves 10 mock atany
Withered cOmrade of the forest.
But with us, alas! with mankind,
Liveth each his destined season;
While 10 one II blOweth winter,
II IS spring-time with the other,
And the old man suffers doubly
From his impotence, DehOlding
Youthful overthrow OF vigOr-
OUhou blessed, blessed Wright
Shake. oh! shake from all my members
This decrepiJune OF winter.
That hath clothed my head with snow
flakes,
And hath chilled my blood to freezing.
Tell the sun another morning
In my veins TO pour his ardor;
Tell The spring again to waEen
Nightingales within my bosom.
And thy roses, once more give them
To my cheeks, the golden tresses
To my head again, - Wright
Give me back my youth, l pray thee.
When bon Juan Ponce dc Leon
To himself these words had spoken.
Suddenly between his hands he
Pressed his forehead agOnizing.
And his sObblng and his weeping
Grew so passionate and stormy,
Thai the ~glistening Jear-drOpS GUSHING
Tickled Though his wasted fingers.

important Discovery al POmpsii.

The Uronique des Arts gives the fol-
lowing particulars of late important
discovery at POmpeii. They are con-
tanned in a letter from Mr.. G.. DauiIIier:
"The treasure just brought to light
consists of seven hundred coins, Con-
sular or Imperial, some of gold, with
a quantity of jewels, among which is
q magnificent chain of plated gold
wire, forming a very thick round cord
not less than eight feet in length; it
has a clasp formed of twothiek hooks,
and ornamented with two rings and
amulet shaped ike 2 half moon.
There are besides bracelets, some of
the kind called ophis (serpent), ear
drops set with pearls, rings, &c. To
form an idea Of its beauty is impos-
l know of only two Others of
the kind; the first was found at Cer-
vetri, and the other at Boulak, in an
tomb, and was to be seen at
the Paris Exhibition of 1867"

The Nsue let, a German weekly,
published in this city, commenting
upon the late municipal election,
says
The result was. as was to be expected,
ebel-Democratic-Irish. Only one Ger
man-Mr. Miller-wss chosen, in spite Of
the fact that bis name was not on the reg
Ular ticket. The Irish sgaIn took the
lions share. An Injunction was gotten
out 10 prevent the new Mayor from taking
bis seat, on the ground, as it was shown,
thar he wss not an American citizen. In
spite Of this, Chancellor Morgan dissolved
the Injunction. This action does not,
hou5ysE, alter the correctness Of the
charge. Johnson, at the time of the war,
declared bis allegiance to England, in
order 20 ge- nd Of his duties as an Amer
lean citizen. WHAT'S the use Of oatLs Il
Cas does not uss them 10 his osga interests"
The above journal for a considera-
be time, shared with the Post the
public printing. We suppose it be-
longs 20 the same school Of politics.
Il would do well to cOnfne itself to
the truth. Il is true that an injunc-
ton was gotten out. But it is not
true that lit was shown that he +"
(JoHNs0S) Twas not an American
citizen 1t is true that Chancellor
MORGAN dissolved the injunction.
But II is not true that he did so in
spite Of the TACT that JOHNSON twas
not an American citizen" But he
did 30 for the reason that he was
shown 70 be such a citizen, even when
the burden Of proof was not on him
10 do SO. We hope our German fel-
-l0W-oiuzens viii not suffer themselves
mis4gd by their German organ when
it happens TO blunder after this fash
ion. The use Of war oaths we confess,
has uOt-been remarkably advanta-
geOUs, or profitable to the Govern
ment OF the people. Their effect has
been demorslizing, and the Govern
ment has never been protected by
them 70 q cents worth. But Mr..
JOHNSON did no. swear falsely. His
oath was, that be had not forswOrn
LIS allegiance 10 Great Britain-nOth-
ing more. II an Irishman or a Ger
MAJ brings his child to this country,
and is naturalized, and that
child is by our laws deemed

follow that thechild has sworn falsely
IL saying on oath that he had not
forsWorn allegiance to his native
country, when ae has never done 90,
and has only become a citizen by the
operation OF the laws Of the United
States? The Nsue Zeit seems TO have
cobwebs IN its head, which need to
be brushed ou.. When II can point

present one has proved to be, even al

SHADOWS.


Oh, sadly fall on hill and lea
The shadows of the weary day;
And, waited rom h wailing sea-,
And long murmur seems TO say,
To say:
Shine on. thou golden sun!
Thine hour viii soOd be dOnei
All! well-a-day!'
Cold drives the rain upon the world,
And homeless Is the north winds cry.
And. mid the darkness. thickIy CURED,
sad tones Of sorrow seem to sigh,
To sigh:
" Bloom on, thou shining rose;
Thy short life % will close,
For thou must diet'
Oh. sadly fall on loving hearts
The shadows OF LIES weary way,
And, needless of b e a that starts,

To say:
"Thee and thy love the tomb
Soon, soon viii fold in gloom;
All well-a-day!'

Kembls and his Friends.

John Kemble went to rehearsal one
morning without his coat. The man
ager, Mr.. Hughes, inquired the cause.
"Sir," said Kemble, " the landlord Of
the house where ] was reading the
paper charged me double for my ale.
/ told him be had cheated, and would
not pay him. He seized me and
pulled of my coat; so rather than
submit to this extOrtiOn, 1 came away
without it." "But, Mr.. KembIe-
walk through the streets without your
coat?'' "But, Mr.. Hughes-pay six
pence for your ale?" "But your coat,

Hughes; think Of my feelings!"

tee, said the word white" ought to be struck
all laws. That the committee had been charged
with bills revising the whole of the Naturalization
law and expected TO report upon the subject OF the
