Big rains and swollen side streams are
reported along the Upper Missouri

a swell of a few feet is looked
for. Yesterday was cloudy and cool early

iohu Bohinson Tenders a EIsnshi Ia Aid Of
the MasenIe Temple.

We commend to the readers Of the AP-
PEAL q careful perusal OF the following
correspondence. 1t is especially COM
mended to those who are in any way con-
nected with the Masonic order, and all
who are charitably disposed. John Rob
inson, the philanthropist and Snowman,
the man who affords pleasure and allevt-
ates sorrow, has again given proof Of the
possession OF high qualities as a man. He
will to-day give the entire net proceeds of
his performance this afternoon, to be
equally divided between the Church
Home ard the Masonic Temple fund.
We need not say hat the tent ought TO
be crowded on the occasion. 1t will be.
The combined attractions of circus and
menagerie, together with the great objects
of the performances, will bring together a
large and OVERLOOKING audience, cOmpris-
ing our very best people, and the elite of
the Masonic fraternity. Read their let
ters:
MEMPHIS, August 16, 1870.
John Robinson, ESQ.,:
Having long acquaintance with you as
one of the most distinguished among those
who, by public amusements, are engaged
in gratifying and giving pleasure to the
community, and knowing withal the
character you bear rs a charitable and
liberal man, we take the liberty OF ad-
dressing you for the purpose of procuring
from your liberality some aid in building
the grand Masonic Temple, subscriptions
for stock in which are now being taken in
our city. Being, as we learn, a member
of the Masonic Order yourself, we know
you will fully appreciate the utility ofthe
contemplated erection of such a temple
from which to dispense The charities Of
the Order. If it should suit your views
to give the net proceeds Of one of your
superior entertainments to this purpose,
it will be received with the thanks and
gratitude, not only of the members of the
Order here, but also of all Masons and
charitably disposed persons elsewhere.
With great respect, we remain, yours
respectfully,

Messrs. +. M. Cash, H. r.. Higbee and
other members of Committee Masonic
Temple:
GENTLEMEN-Your favor asking a BEN
eft for the Masonic Temple has been
handed me, to which 1 cordially respond.
Having previous to the reception of your
communication, promised a benefit to
the Church Home of your city, / am con-
strained, by my limited s%ojourn in Mem
phis, to tender you the net receipts Of
one exhibition jointly with that institu-
tion. If your committee and the man
agement of the Church Home will honor
me by accepting the net receipts of an
exhibition OF the m%enagerie and circus,
to take place on Wednesday, August
18th, at 2 pm, l am at your service.
Very respectfully, yours,
JOHN ROBINSON.
If the generous tender Of this benefit
by Mr.. Robinson is not sustained by the
people of Memphis in OVERLOOKING num-
bers, we shall be much disappointed. The
canvas will hold several thousand, and
1t ought to be crowded.

REAPINa NATURES HARvEsT.-Hun-
dreds of men and boys are now employed
by the association Of New York capitalists,
known as the SEA Moss FARINE Co., in
reaping from the rocks on the Irish coast
the edible marine lichen, which, as pre-
pared under the name of RAND's SEA
Moss FARINE, has already become one of
the important manufactured staples of
the American produce market. The
patent for this cheap and delicious food
element is scarcely a year old, yet it's use
is all but universal. Every grocery snd
general store, and every respectable drug
gist establishment in the country finds 1t
necessary to keep a supply Of the article.
Housekeepers declare that the quantity
of exquisite custard, blanc mango, light
pudding, cream, jelly, etc, ~producible
from the Farine exceeds by one-half that
obtainable from any other gelatinous
agent used in cookery. The central depot
Is at So Park Place, New York.

nFather Knows. p

A gentleman was one day opening
a box of dry goods. His little son
was standing near, and, as his father
took the packages from the box, he
laid some of them upon the arm Of
the boy. A young friend and play.
mate Of the merchants son was
standing by looking on. As parcel
after parcel was laid upon the
arm of the boy, his friend began to
fear his load was becoming too heavy
and said;
Johnny don't you think you've
got as much as you can bearP
eNever mind" answered Johnny,
in sweet happy tone, "father knows
how much l can carry"
Brave, trusting little fellow! He
did not grow restless or impatient
under the burden. There was no
danger, he felt that his father would
not lay too heavy a load on him.
His father knew his strength, OF
rather the weakness ofthat little arm
and would not overtask it. More
than all, his father loved him, and
therefore would not harm him. Its
such spirit Of loving trustin Him
that God desires all his children to
possess.

wha. Hard Enrk WIN Do.

A correspondent of the Columbia
Is. C.) Pkenig says:
"There is life in the old land yet.
That this is so, the following facts
will demonstrate: Last January
Rev. L. c. Chappell bought small
tract Of land in the upper part Of
Richland, known as the "Center
Place" It was poor, wOrn-out
place, and had long been abandoned
as unfit for cultivation. 1t had,
grown PIP in old pines, broom sedge
and briers. 1t was a hard looking
case as one could find in a months
travel. Mr.. Chappell and his three
sons, only one of whom is grown,
went to work, cleared, fenced and
ditched fifty acres, and planted them
in corn, cotton, sorghum and pOta-
toes. He had to labor beside that
of himself and three sons. Yester-
day we saw his crop, and are salts
fed he will make twenty bales Of
cotton, weighing 400 pounds each,
400 bushels Of corn, 120 gallons sOr-
ghum, besides potatoes, peas, &c.
Besides this, he harvested about 400
bushels of wheat and oats, which he
had sown on an adjoining place.
See, Mr.. Editor, what well directed
industry can do on the poorest, worn
out land in South Carolina. Settle
up the State with sensible working
farmers like Mr.. Chappel and his
boys, and she will live. To North
ern and European small farmers we
could say, "COme on, here's the
place to get your money back"

Automatic Grain Binder

The Chicago Republican gives al
account Of an automatic grain-bin
der invented by Mr.. Carpenter O.
Found du Lac. Such an invention
to farmers is most impoitant ad
dition to those of the reaping
and moving machines and deserves
to be ranked with them. The Re
publican says:
After eight years of incessant la,
Dor, Mr.. Carpenter is the first among
men to put an automatic machine
in the field that would cut, bind
and deliver its thousands ofbundles
without the aid of human hands
and pick up and save every kernal
of grain; and while we most cordial
Iy congratulate him on the achieve
ment, we feel that the farming com
munity have cause for high hopes
in an improvement that promises to
reduce their annual expense by hun
dreds of dollars, and make harvest
ing rather a play-spell than a season
of exhausting drudgery.
A number of the principal citi.
zens of Fon du Lac have rendered
Mr.. Carpenter public banquet af
ter witnessing these experiments, as
"the inventor of a machine that viii
prove a blessing to the civilized
world"
