Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-12-30

During the recent Presidential cam
paign, an alternate Greeley elector, R.
A. Aston, of Georgia, wrote to Mr..
Greeley, Enclosing the words, "When
the defeated rebels are scattered like
leaves before an angry wind" etc, cut
from a straight Democratic newspaper,
and therein credited to Mr.. Greeley,
with an inquiry as to whether or not he
was the author thereof. Mr.. Greeley
replied, in substance, as follows: ~ GER
.tainly never wrote the original lines of
which the iEclosed are copy. That
they appeared in tine Tribune, I infer
from the fact that they are now quoted
as coming from me. shall deny
nothing, however, shOrtOf an accusation
that 1 had eaten a part Of my own
grandmother. The elector aforesaid was
an agent for the patented Abel Loom, !"
and while endeayoring to induce a lead
ing manufacturer Of Columbus, GeOrgis,
to take stock in the same, remarked that
he had letter from Senator Sprague, Of
Rhode Island, indorsing the loom in the
most flattering terms, and handed TO the
man Of cloth the letter from MIR. Gree
ley. After putting on his spectacles and
examining it for some minutes, he
quickly folded it up and returned it to
the owner, saying slowly: "He writes
devilish hard fist; I see he advises you
to make no more looms at six hundred
dollars, and adds something about cloth,
but dam-f-no what it is"

A FAMILY OF GIANTS.

From the Bedford Penn. Inquirer, Dec. 20.l
Benjamin and Catharine Troutman,
of Londonderry township, this county,
had sons and daughters eighteen. The
father and eight Of the children have
gone to that bourne whence no traveller
returns. The mother, who is about
seventy-five years of age, and weighs
upward of two hundred pounds avOir-
dupOis, still lives with her son George,
IN Londonderry township. The ten
children now living tip the beam Of a
Fairbanks" to the tune of two thou
sand two hundred and fifteen pounds.
The respective force of gravity OF each,
according to their last census, is as fol-
lows: George, who lives in Londonder-
ry township, two hundred and forty-five
pounds; Joseph, who holds forth at Fair
Hope, Somerset county, two hundred
and twentypounds; John, who resides in
the State of Indiana, two hundred and
siXty-fve pounds in his shirt sleeves:
Daniel, who lives in Kansas, two hun
dred and twenty-five pounds; Ad-
am, who is a resident of the Smoky
City, Pittsburg, two hundred and forty
pounds; Sarah and Polly, who reside in
this county, two hundred and forty and
JWO uuuuIGu pOuuuo, respectively NAH
cy, who lives in Maryland, two hundred
pounds; Betsy, who has followed the
advice of the lamented Greeley, and
''gone West" two hundred pounds.
The father weighed one hundred and
eighty pounds, and the deceased chill
dren ranged in weight from two hun
dred and eighty to two hundred and
twenty-five pounds each. Ifany one can
beat this, let him rise and speak. Peter
Troutman, son Of Joseph, weighs about
two hundred pounds. Sometime since,
he and his father were out hunting, and
shot large buck. At the crack Of the
rifle the buck fell to the ground, and
Peter ran up to it, supposing it dead, got
astride of it and was in the act of cut
ting its throat when it sprang up and at
tackled him; he grabbed it by the horns
and held on to them. Then ensued
a desperate struggle. The father,
who was not at this time near enough
to assist his son, could not shoot the
buck for fear of shooting his son, too.
He hurried TO the scene, leveled his gun
across his sons breast and fired, killing
the buck instantly. He then found that
the buck had gored Peter through the
thigh, causing a very severe and ugly
wound, which has caused him to keep
his bed ever since.

WHAT sHERsEANKNO ABOUT
FIRE.

General William Tecumseh Sherman
at last tells what he knows about the
burning of Columbia, South Carolina.
In a course of eateehising in Washing
ton, On the twelfth instant, touching
the wantOn destruction of that city, he
let slip a few facts which ought forever
to put at rest any dispute as to upon
whom rests the responsibility of that
vandal act. The Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville CO1TieT-J Jour
nal furnishes the following synopsis OF
the facts drawn out by the examination:
General Sherman was examined before
the American and British Commission
to-day in regard to the Stunning of Column
bia. He denied that he had issued
orders to bum Columbia, but admitted
that the army was greatly exasperated
against South Carolina, and said this
evaporation was increased by General
Hampton's rear guard firing into his
camp a night or two before entering Co
lumbia, which evaporation he and his
officers participated in, and this was
known to the men. A correspondence
was then shown to General Sherman,
purporting to have taken place between
him and General Halleck, while on his
march to Columbia. The communica-
ton from Halleck desired him todestroy
Charleston and SOW it with salt,
so that there might no more
nullifiers or seeessiOnists grow up
there. To this Sherman, in reply,
wrote that Charleston and Columbia
would soon be in his hands, and Halleck
would have no cause to complain of his
treatment of them; that he had the Eff
tenth corps with him, and that corps
did their work well, and further that he
(Sherman), would not spare the public
buildings in Columbia as he did in Mil
ledgeville. General Sherman admitted,
on his examination, that his cores
pOndence was authentic. General Sher-
man stated that he occupied Columbia
with the Fifteenth corps. In reply TO the
question whether he kept the men in
the works after taking possession
of the city, he said not; he could not
have done so to have prevented the
burning of every town in the State of
South Carolina. These responses were
drawn out by the representations of
British claimants, who allege that their
property at Columbia was wantOnly de-
stroyed, and in violation of the usages
of war. General Sherman manifested
a good deal of element during the in
vestigation.

According 10 one of our latest cable
dispatches, the Empress of Russia is ex-
pected TO visit Naples at an early day,
accompanied by a feet of Russian vessels
of war. 1t is understood that Her
Majesty will proceed directly to Rome,
and that there she will pay her respects
to the King of Italy, and also to the
Holy Father. Coming so soon after the
visit to Rome Of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, it is not unnatural that
this expected visit Of the Empress
should be considered 10 have something
of a political character. 1t swell known
that the relations of Russia and the Holy
See have for many years been Of the most
unsatisfactory kind. The Catholics of
Poland have always been much more
willing to submit to the authority of the
Pope than to recognize the authority of
the Gar. The consequence has been
that the Russian Government, hating as
it does the sembIance Of an 5B5periuHl in
inlperio, has steadily pursued a harsh
policy toward the Catholic Church in
Poland. For some time past there has
been manifested a desire ON the part
of the Russian Government to concili-
ate the Holy Father. Certain bishops
have been exiled; their sees are now va
cant; and il is said that if the Holy
Father viii comply with the wishes Of
the Russian Government, and appoint
new bishops to the vacant sees, the gov
eminent of the Gar win allow the ex-
lied bishops TO return, and viii make for
them adequate provision. It is under
stood that the mission of the Grand
Duke Nicholas was undertaken with a
view to bring about some such arrange
ment. A similar purpose is attached TO
the approaching visit of the Empress to
Rome and the Holy Father. 1t is reas-
enable to suppose that the Empress may
be more successful than. the Grand
Duke, and soase understanding may bB
come to between Russia and Rome
whereby thecondition Of the Catholics
in Russian Poland viii be improved. 1T
Is time that persecution should cease for
religions sake.

MEMPHIS AND WHITE RIFER VAL
LEY.

The White River Journal, referring to
the incursion Of st. Louis tradespeople,
who have now taken possession Of all
Arkansas, says:
We all like Memphis and Memphi-
ans, but when it takes a third on the
original cost Of an article to deliver 1t
here and then wait on the convenience
or whim of singlebaTreled steamboats,, it
is time for us to see about getting
freights cheaper. Most Of our people
are from old Tennessee, which naturally
causes q fellow feeling in that direction;
and then by purchasing in Memphis we
can frequently " kill two birds with one
stone p-see our friends and relatives
also. Things being anything like equal,
our people will give the preference to
Memphis. But when freights are
enormous from there here, and then
wait on them a month or more, getting
them probably in a damaged condition
it is just the last hair on the cameps
back.
In other words, because a few enter
pHsing merchants cannot be induced to
cooperate with another who would
build even a gauge road to jack
sonport, the whole trade Of the richest
district of Arkansas must be given up.
Millions will be lost annually for want of
a few hundred thousand expended to-
day. WheB does the Chamber of Com
merce propose to discuss this question?

ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

The recent fraud perpetrated upon a
whole shiplOad of Italians, who were
brought from the south of Italy, was the
| occasion of the meeting held recently in
New York: Colonel TOnnelli, Presi-
dent of the Society of the Union
Nationalities, was present, and stated
that the object of the committee
was first to draw up me-
mortal in accordance with the instruc-
tiOns of the meeting held the night pre-
vious. Nothing Better suited the occa-
casion than the passage of the bill of
Mr.. COnger, which was to be brought
forward in Washington on Wednesday
next. BY this bill the Commissioners of
Emigration would be authorized to con-
tract with another State for the care of
immigrants. Especially was that part
very applicable where express provision
was made to prevent the landing of no
tOriOus criminals or paupers. The first
duty Of the committee was to draw up a
memorial to Congress in support of Mr..
COnger's bill, and praying that the i'm
migration of paupers from Italy to this
country be prohibited.
Colonel Pratt said already the memo
rial had been prepared, and would be
sent to Washington on the morrow. 1t
embodied all the views expressed by
Colonel Tonelli, and more than that. 1t
took up the subject of having the swim
ding agents properly punished-who so
heartlessly robbed the poor people of
their means, and under false pretences
induced them to leave their own sunny
cline. The memorial also recon-
mended that a strict Government in
quiTy should be made on the subject.
With regard to raising funds toward the
relief of the immigrants who were then
under the care Of the Emigrant Com
missioners, that should be left in the
hands Of a special committee; but as
this meeting was merely for the consid-
Grafton of the memorial he did not
think it proper to take the matter up.
A public meeting of the italian citi-
zens and others viii be called at an ear
ly day to be held under the auspices of
the United Nationalities, when the mat
ter will be fully ventilated and means
contributed toward defraying the ex-
penses of the italian immigrants TO

Here are sensible remarks about fu-
neral services: There Is obviously the best
reason in the world why, at the funeral
of 6 wicked person, the clergyman
should refuse to use the liturgy Of a
church, especially designated for the
burial service Of Christians There IS a
great deal too much of the NIL nisi bOnua
nlOTtssis idea in the world. Many per-
sons outside of church connections won
der why q clergyman viii not read the
sublime promises of the Resurrection
and the life over the bodies Of the no.
tori0usly wicked. il there is anything
IN the faith of the Christian Church,
It certainly REQUIRES that no such
promises be read so that the
living win take the idea that they apply
to dead Of this class. We might as well
abandon ali our faith snd ed cur
churches as to consent to teach the
same hope for the dead women OF the
town as for our departed Christian
daughters, Outsiders do not appreci-
ate this, perhaps, but it is OF no use to
minee words on such a subject. The
church believes and teaches that the one
dies without hope. That is abundant
reason for refusing the sublime words Of
the various burial liturgies over the
bodice of the wicked.

THE PERII.s OF THE rRAPEzE.

Detroit Free Press, December III
Another of those trapeze horrors which
are becoming so common occurred last
night at the Theatre Comique. Alice
Napier and William Forepaugh, the
tTapeze performers who began an en-
gagement at that place last Monday,
made their appearance for their act
the last of the oliO-abOut ten o'clock.
They both performed some terrific feats
and were applauded until the building
fairly shook. The young lady finally
retired, leaving FOTepaugh to do his
browning act, entitled ga leap for life.''
This is a feat involving the greatest risk
-one which very few ath-
letes have attempted. Swinging
from trapeze suspended from the
dome, midway between the entrance
and the stage, the performer turns in
mid-air, and in the descent catches q
rope hung directly over the footlights.
F0repaugh, in attempting the reckless
feat, shot through the intervening space
between the middle trapeze and the rope
like lightning, but missed the rope and
fell to the stage, striking upon his back
with dull thud, as though every bone
in his body was broken, and causing an
involuntary grOan of horror to escape
from the audience. The fall deprived
him of all consciousness. His assistants
sprang forward and carried him off the
stage. just at that moment a wild
scream was heard from his sister Miss
Napier, and then a hush fell upon the
multitude. At length such expressions
as "He's a dead manw "PoOr fell
lowp' "That's his last actpp "Fool-
ishness," and the like were heard
in subdued tones in various parts of the
house, while all awaited with painful
anxiety the result of the surgical ex-
animation. In about fifteen minutes a
gentleman appeared and announced
that Forepaugh was slowly regaining
consciousness, but the announcement af-
forded very little relief, as the belief was
quite general that his injuries were of a
fatal character.
He was subsequently removed to his
hotel, and Manager Welch gave orders
for the employment of the best surgical |
aid the city can afford, and instructed
his people to see to it that nothing be
left uDdone to render the unfortunate
gymnast every possible service.
