preposterous wigs; they paint and
make up we'll; they get so many SEN
tences by heart, and out they come
mechanically. The gentlemen, also,
dress Wel-far better than they did
years ago; but to act is the very last
thing they dream of. l thank you,
Mrs. Kelley, for returning to us for
one night only. You tell Us IN now
much we are deficient" The farewell
address Of Nine. Celeste, ran thus:
fPermit me to say a Jew words before
the curtain falls to close the perform
ance and my theatrical career. That
career L cOmmenCeU at an early age,
in America. Soon after, I appeared IN
London, which ever since became my
adopted home-a home endeared to
me by the friendships ] formed and
kindness I have at all times expert
enced. have also paid several visits
to America, and five years since 1
ventured alone to Australia, at
home in London, in America and
Australia, / never can forget the
kindness, the patronage, and the sup
port the public have afforded me, or
the courtesy and consideration / have
at all times received from the press IN
these countries, as well as from the
Oldest managers, with whom I have
been professionally engaged. To them
all / feel that a deep aud lasting debt
of gratitude is due, and tender them
my sincere thanks. But, ladies and gen
tlemen, one word must speak, though
that word hangs reluctantly upon my
lips. If on these boards have had
to delineate scenes of suffering and
pain, believe me, no word ever yet |
seemed 50 hard to utter, so fall Of sOr-
row, as the word, Farewell this |
night. No separation ever appeared
so keen as that which comes upon me |
now. / have to say farewell to you,
my friends and patrons, who have |
ever given me your support; to you,
my brothers and sisters of the same |
profession, from all of whom 1 have |
always received the most UNMARRIED |
kindness and consideration. Fare |
well, then, one and all. May every |
happiness and success in life attend |
you, and, in the more familiar Ian !
guage of my native land, / most |
gratefully and respectfully say, |
Adieu."

Special to Memphis APPEAL.l
LITTLE Rock, February 13.-Judge
Bennett, OF Helena, was to-day con-
firmed Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court Of this State, rice Judge
Bowen, resigned. The appointment,
it is said by the knowing ones, is the
reward of Governor Clayton to Ben
nett for having been the chief instru-
ment in the defeat CT Logan H. Roots
for Congress in the first District.
Ia reply to the committee from the
House Of Representatives appIising
him, officially, Of his election to the
United States Senate, Governor Clay
ton said that he would inform them,
when the time had arrived for him to
qualify for the Office, whether or not
he would accept the position; that it
depended entirely upon what the in
terests of the State demanded at that
time, whether he could vacate the
Executive chair.

Tsking the foregoing figures as an
indica ton Of the results Of the years
trade, We fear we cannot regard it as
satisfactory. An increase to the eX.
tent Of twenty five per cent. in
failures. as compared with 1869,
and thirty-three per cent. as
compared with 1868, indicates
a want Of success not only as applied
70 individuals, but must more or less
represent the general success Of traders
throughout the country. it would
perhaps be unfair TO regard these ig-
Ires a. an entirely accurate represent
alton Of the condition Of trade through
out the Union; for, when closely eX-
amined, the failures in Individual in
stances, are much more frequent
lv the result OF individual in
discretiOns, mismanagement, or dis
honesty, than the result Of any wide
spread condition or Of a class of cir
cumstances Of general application.
But it may be pretty safely concluded
that the surplus which has been added
TO the general wealth of the mercan-
tile community by the years trans8c-
tiOns is but trifiing. The year GER
tainly cannot be set down as one
in which this surplus has been
seriously impaired, nor on the
other hand has il been much aug
mented. It may be doubted whether
the debtpaying power Of buyers has
beeu increased. The assets Of the
community are certainly not in as
available shape as they were two or
three wears ago. The lines Of credit
which were tightly drawn during the
war and for a year or two subsequent
TO its close, have been gradually
IOosened, not only by the wholesale
dealer, but from the retailer to the
consumer; and if a careful eKamina--
fiOp could be had of the condition Of
the majority Of traders, it would
be disco Vered that outstanding"
formed a much larger portion Of the
assets Of the community than at any
time since 1862. It is not improbable
that the great bulk 'Of the years pro-
fits are in this shape, and though il by
no means follows that they are either
unrealiZable or of doubtful value,
there is no denying the fact that this
description Of assets is much more
liable to these two conditions than
any others which have been relied
upon within the last decade. Fluctu-
atiOns in values have in the main been
Of a downward character, sympa-
thizing with the decline in gold,
the result Of OveT-prOductiOn, and
q disposition apparent On every
hand toward Over-trading, so that
although the year has not been a dis
astrOus one, the general conclusion is
inevitable that it has not been entirely
successful. The year has certainly
added TO the material wealth OF the
country, owing to the steady develop
ment, in almost every State, Of inn
pOrtant interests, the opening up Of
numerous avenues Of inter-cOmmuni-
cation, and the abundant crops Of a
great variety Of products that have
been secured, together with the gene
rally active condition of manufactur-
ing interests, and all point to the con-
clusiOn that the year 1870 may be
counted as one not the least favorable

TENNESSEE NEWS
a NAY KTIT,ED NEAR coIr,rBIA.

A NAN KILLED NEAR COLUMBIA.
Through a private dispatch to gen.
tleman In this city, last night, says
the Nashville Banner OF Saturday, we
learned Of a distressing shooting al
fray, which took place on the POLK
place, near Columbia, thursday. lt
seems that Richard Curran and Maui
rice Griffin were very good friends
until quite recently, when there was a
falling Out-sOmething about a trunk.
The details of the affair, however,
were not known to our informant.
Nr. Curran was in Nashville a few
DAYS AGO f0r the purpose Of pUrchas-
ing q horse, and Is reported to be
very kind, in0fansive man. 1t ap-
pears that in the melee which took
place between the parties Curran was
shot and mOrtally wounded, dying
yesterday.
BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
The Winchester Home Journal says
that last Tuesday morning q white
girl named Katie Pigeons, about thir-
teen years Of age, living mile from
Decherd, while on her way home
alone, was seized and raped by a ne
gro man, The event caused great ex-
element, and a search was Instituted
Immediately for the pgrpetatOr OF the
damnable deed. Up to last accounts
he had not been caught.
AN AUDAUOUs ATTEMPT.
The Bristol Nelrs of yesterday SAYS:
Near the close Of last week q little son
of Mr.. Taylor, living on the Island
road, near BlOuntville, was returning
from school at late hour, and on
horseback, ne was assaulted by two
men on horseback, who ordered him
TO dismOunt, and on his refusal to do
so, one of them struck at him with a
knife, cutting through his clothing on
the shoulder, but fortunately doing
no further damage. The boy made
his escape by d vigorous use of his
spurs.
TEE WHEAT CROP.
The Bristol Courier, Of Thursday,
saws that the wheat crop in that sec
ton is looking rather badly, owing to
the want Of snow. The indications
are that about a half crop will be
raised.
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The next Legislature which assem- |
bles in October will elect a Speaker Of |
the lower house and also a presiding /
officer for the Senate. Mr.. B. A. En- /
hoes name viii bea prominent one for /
the Spe8kership, and his many friends /
in this portion of the State would be /
proud if the merits Of their talented |
young friend are appreciated abroad |
as highly as they are by those who are /
best acquainted with him. General |
J.. NJ. Tharp, Of Henry, brings to the 1
Senate ripe statesmanship, command |
ing talent, and the long experience Of /
a strong mind well trained in Legisla- /
tive duties. General Tharp is emi- |
mently a safe director in public affairs, !
and his claims viii be readily recOg-
nized by many, should he yield to the |
wishes of his friends and allow his /
name to be used for the Presidency Of /
the Tennessee Senate.

Special to the APPEAL.1
NASHVILLE, February 13.-The
military in company with the reve-
nue. officials who went to Winchester
to suppress the terrible mob, sO-caIed,
returned on Sunday evening with
Colonel Arledge and a number OF
other prisoners.
The whole affair, it appears, has
been greatly exaggerated, and the
only collision was an assault by one
Lieutenant Whitehall upon an an
armed prisoner, whereupOn Colonel
Arledge pronounced it a cOwardly as
sault, and hence the great hue and
cry which was intended for effect in
Washington.

The Isnnasssa.

NEW YORK, February 13.-There
are no regular lines of communication
from San Domingo to any point from
which news could have been received
since the Tennessee was due at her
destination. No extraordinary means
of communication has likely been
adopted except in the case of disaster.
She crossed the Gulf stream out Of her
track. Vessels bound out of port can
not expect adYices for ten days. The
Tennessee is new and staunch,
sea-worthy, well commanded, fully
equipped, and carries ten boats.
She had no bad weather on
her route. Survivors of any but the
most extraordinary disaster would
most likely have been heard from.
There seems no greater cause for anx-
iety concerning the Tennessee than
any other ship of our navy on the
ocean. Absence of advices is no evil
dence of disaster, and each day gives
stronger assurance Of a safe and sue
cessful voyage.

The Alabama Claims and UnItsd States
Finances.

NEW YORK, February 13.-The
Worlds financial article this morning
says the appointment OF a high COM
mission by the United States and
Great Britain to settle the Alabama
and other questions, had the effect
of giving an improved tone and con-
fidence ia financial circles and an
abundance of lOanable funds; and a
good prospect of Boutwell, receiving
abundant subscriptions to the new
loan and carrying out the programme
for funding five-twenty bonds has
given a powerful stimulus to invest
meat in Government bonds and other
first-elass securities. An impression
is gaining ground that affairs viii inn
prove, both here and in Europe, and
that capitalists will be more disposed
TO make investments.
