gss" A servant girl who was sent day
or two ago to a druggist in New York
with request that he would give her
some castor-oil, "disguised as much as
much as possible" was asked by the drug
gist if she liked soda water, and replied
in the affirmative. The druggist thereu-
pom gave her glass strongly favored
with lemon, with much oil cast upon the
troubled water Noticing that she linger-
ed after receiving this, the druggist in
quired the cause, and was told that she was
waiting for the oil. Oh, replied the man
of drugs complacently, "you have taken
that" The startled woman gazcd at him
in dismay moment and then exclaimed
'Oh, murder, wantedit for man who
is very sick"

Too old and Lame.

The Rev. Il. 1t had an old parish
ioner and communicate whom he had
been visiting during short illness. At
last the medical attendant called and
informed Mr.. 1t hat the old man
was dying: whereupon he Immediately
went to him to administer the sacrament /;
after which he told the old mans wife
that her husband would not live long.
and if there was anything she wished to
say to him she had better do it while he
was able to understand her. She imme-
diately went to his beside and said:
"John, Mr. 1t says you are going
to die. I wish, when you get to Heaven
you'd look out for my first husband, and
tell him I've been doin' pretty well sin
he left me, an often wish l might see
him again"
The old man turned his eyes upon his
wife. With deprecating expression, and
raising himself a little, he re piled;
" Lord help thee, Mary, how doest thee
think that, owd and la am as | be l can
go rounging all over Heaven to find thy
first husband p

Bag" A Lady at Gloucester, Mass,
day or two since invited number of
friends to her house to tea. During the
meal the guests found the cup that cheers
but not inebriates so bitter as to be unfit
for use. The next day the lady of the
house discovered, to her modification,
that she had sweetened the tea with ep-
som salts, a quantity of that useful but
unpalatable article having been placed on
the sarne shelf with some granulated su-
gar.

Old Cesar and the Angel,

There used to be pious old negro in
Boston named Caesar, and he was in the
habit of praying so loudly as to be heard
by many Of the neighbors On retiring
for the night his petition invariably was:
" Lord send dy angel for ole Caesar, ole
Caesar always ready" One evening two
of his neighbors, good men but sometimes
bored by his style" thought they
would try him on. They took position
at his door and when the usual petition
was made that the Lord would send the
angel, ole Caesar being always ready"
they knocked loudly at the door
"Who dar" said the old darkey.
"The angel Of the Lord, come for old
Caesar" was the reply.
Out went the light, scrambling into
bed was heard, and then, in trembling
voice, that same old uncle said I" Go way
dar! go way! Ole Caesar been, dead dis
ten gears.

Not i'm Human Nature.

An estimable lady, personal and be-
loved friend of mine, said to me, when
urged to forgive injuries, " it is not in hu-
man nature to forgive injuries as goading
as these" You are right, my friend, re-
piled it is not in human nature; but it is
in the grace of Christ. He has charged
us =" Love your enemies; bless them
that curse you; and pray for them which
despitefully use you and persecute you;
that ye may be the children of our Father
which is in heaven" The lady had a
long struggle with herself, but though
the grace of Christ overcame. She for
gave from the heart and was happier
woman, and more exemplary Christian
ever after. These are high Christian
virtues. They are not imaginary, nor
are they beyond Christian attainment.

A Good Hog Story.

I IRON Dom Piatt's curious article
Il " About Hogs" in LippjncoHs
Magazine for April, we take the follow
ing original hog story;
once witnessed fight between po-
ny and a boar, in which both sides exhib-
tied good deal of that natural art of
war to which Mr.. Corwin referred as
blessing the many militia colonels of Con-
gress. l had ridden home one afternoon
upon my little sturdy Tough Dick, and,
turning him loose in the stable lot pour
ed upon the ground quantity of corn to
serve him as dinner. Upon this, a huge
boar, nearly as large and quite as heavy
as the pony trotted up, unbidden, to take
part in the repast. Tough Dick, not lik-
ing the company nor the loss of his pro-
vender, bit the hog, who, in return threw
up his tusk, catching the pony's nostril
upon the point, inficting an ugly little
wound. Quick as thought almost, the
pony wheeled and planted his two ironed
heels upon the boars side. The blow
sounded like that of "A fail, rolling the
hog over. Nothing daunted he regained
his legs and again made at the little horse
The plucky creature was ready for him,
and sent the hog rolling. This second
charge seemed to give the boar reali-
zing sense of the inequality of such a
contest. Regaining his feet again, he
trotted some PAGES away and stood contem-
plating his foe from under his long ears,
grunting and swapping his jaws in wrath
and disgust. Tough Dick, with his ears
drawn back, eyed his antagonist as if ex-
pecting a renewal of the conflict After
some seconds the boar began walking in
a circle about the pony. He kept beyond
the reach of his heels, and would at times
walk and at times trot and all the while
Tough Dick kept his eyes on and his
heels toward the foe. This continued
for some time, and might have ended in
the hogs retreat, but the pony was hun
cry and aggravated at the interruption of
his meal in an unhappy moment he at
tempted to take a mouthful of corn. The
boar, seizing the advantage, rushed in
Escaping the heel, he charged in under
the belly of the pony, and would have
inficte an ugly wound with his tusks
but the force of his attack carried him
beyond the point of danger and before he
could escape the wicked pony had him by
the ear precisely as dog would have
caught him. The boar squealed dismally
and began turning so as to bring his
tusks under the throat or jaw Of the enc
my. Slowly but steadily he swung around
suffering intense torture in the twisting
given his unhappy ear Finding the
boar likely to gain his point, the pony
suddenly released the ear. The two had
been pulling with their entire weight
against each other, and the unexpected
release staggered the hog, and ere he
could recover well directed kick rolled
him over. l thought him killed but he
slowly recovered, and, raising to his feet
staggered away, pausing at times to shake
his ugly head, as if wondering how it al
came about.

TRADE.

The weather is again beautiful and
warm. and plantation work goes on with
vigor. Few country people are in the
city, and business is mostly done through
the medium Of orders. We have no ma
terial change to note in prices to-day, as
the demand is generally light to what it
has been for the past two or three days.
Corn is a fraction weaker, bat not quota
bly, lower; and meats, also, are somewhat
easier than yesterday, owing to the light
demand. Phillips last Cincinnati pro
vision circular says: "Since mine OF the
30 the market for provisions continued to
advance, and the demand was fair until
yesterday, when it seemed to have oul-
minated and at the close was more quiet,
and 10 day il partakes Of the same feeling
in a stronger way on most articles, and
holders are more willing to let go a poF-
ton Of their stock, bat buyers are rather
ohish, thinking that the long continued
advancing prices may have reached their
top point for the present at least, and are
disposed 10 wait and see what may come
out of it. But the present prices don't
vet pay out on the cos OF the hog, and
the whole trade contend that the present
depression is temporary, which may prove
true, as the c~onsumPtive demand has
been large, and stock much reduced at
some points, and the requirements Of the
South viii no doubt be great yet, though
but few markets at this time report their
stock of provisions short. On the contra
~, their supply seems to be more liberal
than is generally anticipated, while the
stock in the leading packing points Is
ample yet for the balance Of the season,
unless the c~onsumptive demennd should
be much larger thar usual

FINANCE AND TRADE.
OFFICE OF TIE DAILY APPEAL I
MEMPHIS, May II, 1870. J
FINANCE.

Exchange is again steady, and dealer
are getting all they wanta at the new rat
established yesterday. The fact is tina
the offerings are rather large for the pres
n close condition OF the money market
and to-day we heard for the hrst time fo-
some months of currency being ordered
to this point. Eastern cotton bills arr
taken at \ discount, and as a rule ou
banks are checking at = premium, but
small rebate is made when slarge amount
Is wanted.
In stocks and bonds there is nothing tC
report. Memphis and Charleston Il
rather frmer, but we can't say that it has
advanced; 4Oc was offered and refused
for a lot to-day. City Bonds are nom
inal, with little OF no demand.
City Scrip is weak, with dealers gene
rally well supplied. Taxpayers can buy
at 75G77c, as to amount.
County Warrants are quiet; sc Is
offered by brokers in small amounts,
They sell at 7995Oc.
Tennessee money is also in light de
msnd, and unchanged.
Gold is offered in small quantities
Several small lots sold to-day in sums
ranging from 500 to 500 at llS&@Il43+r
and one lot Of $1,000 was taken at u42s.
The counter demand is light, and dealers
sell at about lis.
The Planters Insurance Company de-
clared a dividend to-day Of . per cent. on
the capital stock of the Company.
The Philadelphia Inquirer raises The
point that, inasmuch as the income tax
law expired by limitation on Saturday
last. the proposed bill for its continuance,
which is nov swinging in a conference
committee between the two Houses,
would not be constitu tional if passed.
The Constitution declares that all bills
fov raising revenue shall originate iQ5he
House Of Representatives, but the pend
ing income tax law originated in the Sem
ate. We think that this point is we'll
taken, and that it would be a sufficient
defense for any person who might be
called upon to pay s. income tax under
the proposed bill, that it did not origi-
nate in the House of Representative.
We hope that the House will s%tubbornly
refuse to pass any such bill. Up to the
present time, no taxes nave been repealed,
notwithstandingth the special Commissioner
o fRevenUe has shown that there will be a
surplus in the Treasury at the end of the
next fiscal year OF SI20, 600, 900, and not
w-ithstanding the Secretary Of the Treas
ury IS buying Government bonds at the
rate of SII, OOO,O00 per month, and is
boarding S75, OOc, 900 Of gold, in addition
TO the mount called tor by certificates.
Fortunately, here is one tax law which
repeats itself The income tax is not
only unjust and unequal, in the fact that
it operates most heavily upon the honest
portion Of the community; but it is about
the only tax which cannot be transferred
from the man who pays it to his custO-
mers. The theory of our excise system
is that taxes shall be so levied as to fall
upon the consumer, 10 the end that they
may be equally distributed over the com
mUnity. The income tax cannot be so
distributed, and it is, therefore, at vari-
ance with the principles upon which the
system is grounded.
