The Wonderful Exploits of De Rodas' Five
Columns.

HAVANA, May 25.-The military news at hand of
leading Importance comes from the Camaguey, the
Virginia of the war. On Sunday, one OF Captain
General De Rodas' usually exaggerated kilograms
was received here by way OF Caibarien, announcing
wonderful deeds performed by five OF his columns,
gents, nine of them officers seven Cuoans and two
"Yankees'9 the capture OF 23 more insurgents,
and the presentation OF over 220 all with the loss OF
only IA Spaniards wounded-not one killed. On
Tuesday morning mail steamer arrived from
NueVitas and by the advices brought by her it was
at once made apparent that the 220 presented Gu
bans were only old men, women, and Children who
returned to their homes within the Spanish lines
upon the Spanish pledge OF protection; that the
picked up along their routes by the five columns and
OF only eight rea bona fde nsurgents and that the
l0a Cuban officers and soldiers killed must have been
dreamt of by his EXcellency, since even the
counts OF the Spanish journals place the Cuban dead
at much lower figures, while number OF reports
swell the fourteen wounded Spanards into over
eighty Spaniards killed, wounded, and captured,
Colonel Chinchilla, the commander OF one Of the
columns, being among the wounded.
From private letter, written from Puerto Prn-
cipe by a person whom l deem disinterested
as between Spaniards and Cubans, 1 extract
the following few lines that ] think represent
the correct results obtained by General Rodas' i've
columns:-
The Spanards unquestionaby exaggerate the losses
icted the Cubans and these the
the Spaniards The sides suffered the
been favor of the Cubans since they nearly always had
the choice of positions and placed themselves behind
woods behind houses hills, etc. thus partially shield
ing themselves The five columns brought back some 200
of their sick The rainy has set in aud
day their field operations the Spanish soldiers wet
which explains the large sick list of the five columns.

A WORK OF ART.
Its Projections The Story it Tells.

In many public offices in the city, and
in the Hall of the Chamber of Commerce,
there appears upon the walls a large col
ored engraving Of rare significance telling
its own story with wonderful distinetness
and clearness.
AT the TOD of the design sits Ceres, the
Goddess Of Plenty, surrounded by the
fruits of the earth, stretching out her
hand 10 scatter the blessings of Insurance,
and protect by it the whole earth.
The two large figures OF the right and
left mean, first, England and America,
showing that the North British and Mer-
camille is located in both countries. But,
second, and more evidently, the figure on
the left represents Minerva, the Goddess
OF Wisdom, that induces men to insure
their property, and thus prOtectEhem-
selves and families from calamity. Below
is seen the God OF Love and Truth in the
form of a boy, holding in check the lion
of hunger and poverty, with his a on
his head, and bidding him go NJ farther.
The wisdom of insurance protects the
victim from your d~evouring jaws. On
the right Is seen the Goddess of Justice,
observing the action of the Angel of In
surance, who. in the likeness of a child,
has chOked the eagle of rapacity with
the flowers of plenty, and strikes it with
the roses of ease, making it release its
hold on the insured. The lions and Loop
ards on the left, and the eagle and
shield on the right, indicate the twO-fold
homes of the cOmpany-England and
America. It may be proper TO add that
the North British and Mercantile In
surance Company is as safe and strong
and enduring as the Bank of England;
that it is represented in this city by j. g..
Lonsdale, whose office is on Madison,
between Main and Second.

An imposing Demonstration PrOiscted--Ths
Citizens Of Memphis. Generally ex-
peoted to Participate in Ceremonies.

Pursuant TO notices made in the several
city papers, a meeting of the Confederate
Relief and Historical Association was
held yesterday at the Peabody Hotel,
President Isham G.. Harris in the chair.
The Governor stated briefly the object of
the meeting to be to provide a suitable

ments for the reception of the remains of

Gathering Of Ladies.

That is a pleasing change which Odd
Fellows Hall has undergone. We refer
to the broad, square, shspeless galleried
room that was too big for any common
purpose and too little for a mass meeting
or a menagerie. The awkward, shapeless
apartment has been metamOrphOsed. Go
see what taste and money and the up
holsters art can accomplish. The hide
Gus old hall has become a marvel of taste
and beauty IN all its furniture and archi-
tectural decorations. The damask cur
ain that drape windows twenty-five feet
high; the floor covered with heavy oil
cloth; the thirty walnut tables with mar
bic tops; b vast pyramid of candy that
lifts its stately form twenty feet in hight,
as beautiful as POmpey's pillar or Cleo
patra's needle, attract great multitudes of
visitors. The place that DR.. Kane sought
to find, the open Polar sea, is now sup
posed to be in the northeast corner of PO-
desta's domains, where cream, yellow
and rich, is frozen into icebergs. Jenny
Lind's matehless voice once 1Oated away
from the stage in this old hall; but each
afternoon and evening sweeter voices

cream and sweetened with bon 6OHS, echo

wRIGHT-cURRY IMBRoGLIO.
Judge Swayns's DscisiOn-.-M. l. Wright,
Sheriff.


Yesterday morning Judge SWayne fled
with the clerk of the Circuit Court his
decision of the questions discussed by
counsel on the motion to dissolve the in
junction against NJ. J. Wright, and for an
Injunction restraining A. p. Curry from
acting as Sheriff of Shelby county. The
opinion is elaborate and results in a dis
solution of the injunction against Wright
and the granting of a restraining writ
against A. p. Curry, commanding him to
desist from acting or attempting to act as
Sheriff, and to turn oye to Wright the
books, papers, documents and Office of
the Sheriff of Shelby county. This opin-
ion appears elsewhere. A writ in accord
ance with said opinion was issued by NJ.
ID. L. Stewart, clerk of the Circuit
Court, and duly served upon Mr.. Curry.
after which NJ. J. Wright made a formal
demand for the Office papers, ETC., at the
hands of Curry, which was peremptOrily
refused. Anxious to avoid collision,
which seemed to be the object of Curry,
General Wright retired and prepared an
Office in the Ayres building, where he
will be ready to-day to discharge the
duties of the office of Sheriff of Shelby
county.
Colonel Curry will, therefore, remain
in peaceable possession of the room occu-
pied by bim so long as he chooses 70 pay
for the same.
General Wright will appear In person
in the Law Court this morning, where he
will be recognized as its proper officer,
and viii appear by Deputy in the CffE-s
inal Court. Having resorted to the courts
for an adjudication of his rights, he will
rely upon them to vindicate their DEGREES.
Proceedings are in progress looking to an
application to the Supreme Court for a
supercedeas. Transcripts are being pre-
pared, and writs may or may not be is
sued. The best lawyers incline to the
opinion that UGH a writ annot be
granted in this case. The remedy is first
on motion TO dissolve this injunction, but
having had their day in court and en-
joyed all the advantage which Judge
Swayne could consistently grant them,
they know that such motion would neces-
sarily be Overruled. They cannot, how
ever, apply for a supercedeas until their
motion to dissolve is disposed of. 1t is
remarkable that a Sheriff whose sworn
duty it is to enforce the law and preserve
the peace, should be first to trample under
foot the States writ and openly defy the
mandates of the courts. This attempt TO
manufacture ood for reconstruction will
prove q signal failure.

GRANT.
Ceremonies at the Funeral of the Late Or.
Grant---Ths Faculty in Attendance.

Yesterday great throng assembled at
the residence of the late DR.. Grant, on
Poplar street, to tender the last tribute Of
respect to departed worth. Especially
was there a large attendance Of physI-
Clans. In fact It was said that every reg
Ular physician OF the city was present,
and, perhaps a few, won by the bon
hOmmie of DR.. Grant, who pear the title
though they have never achieved hOnors
in schools OF medical learning. Never
before have We seen such a tribute of
popular or professional respect rendered
to q member of this American Medical
Association. The large church at the
corner of Poplar and Third streets was
filed with a great multitude, while DR..
Bowman, the pastor, pronounced a ut

mans voice in the choir attuned. to the
tenderest, most touching strains of mel

yet the perfect musical cadences Of her
voice were unbroken. The whole audi
eIee was visibly affected by the solemnity
of the occasion itself; by the elocuence
of the pulpit orator; by ths pathos of
his voice and words and manner;
by the divine music which appalled, to
generous sympathies; by the sigbs and
sobs and tears of those who loved or ven
Grated the dead. When the services were

THE ABODE OF TASTE AND ART
The Choicest Luxaries of Life.

The Exchange Building, the GaYoso
House, Court Square, are well known
in Memphis, and it is needless to name
the number of street when one speaks of
the APPEAL Office. There was a little
boy, perhaps spoken of In Esop's.fsbles,
who thought that Everybody knowed
Dad" Everybody knows Specht's.
That's a clear case, even as the urchin
imagined that his paternal ancestor was
known of all mankind. Mr.. Joseph
Specht is a landmark himself, even as his
lofty pile of brick and mortar on the
south side of Madison, between Main and
Second streets, is distinguished in the
annals of Memphis commercial history.
There is a sad story of a fearful eonfiagra-
tion and of terrible death connected with
Specht's building; and, on the other hand,
there have been made within the walls of
that palace Of pleasure and art more
speeches by lOve-sick eloquence, n more
signs of assent have bubbled up with
diamond drops in goblets of sparkling
wine from loving hearts than within any
boudoir of beauty and love in the city's
confines. Specht's ice cream is fit food
for the gods, and p~rettier divinities were
never served by Hebe than often are IN
gregated within Specht's saloon. Immense
sales have wrought cheapness, and a pair
of lovers may go billing and cooling over
Specht's ice cream at a cost of only twenty
cents. 1t is a famous resort for taste and
fashion and youth and beauty, and de-
servedly hath Joseph Specht won fame
and wealth as a cOnfectiOner and restau-
rRteur.
