Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-04-09

Nm aDOut 0ne O'Clock Yesterday morning,
accompanied with dark, angry1ooking
clouds, which continued about two
hours, when the winds ceased, and the
clouds dispersed. About daybreak,
however, the storm again arose, and the
rain fell ia torrents tin near midday,
when the violence of the storm ceased,
but was continued with slight intervals
during the entire day.
"A friend Of the temperance cause
who expresses himself delighted with
the paragraph in the APPEAL of yester-
day which announced the vigilance OF
the police In preventing Sunday tip
ping, sends u the following which we
think both witty and true: That whisky
is the key by which many gain an en-
trance into Our prison and alms-honses /;
that brandy brands the noses of all who
cannot govern their appetites; that
wine causes many to take a winding
way home; that punch Is the u OF
many unfriendly punches; that ale
causes many ailing, while beer brings
many to their biers; that champagne
is the cause of many real palms, that
gin-sIings have iislewed more than the
sling of Old;p that the reputation of
being fond of cocktails is not q feather
IN any mans cap; that the money
spent for port, which is supplied by portly
gents, would support many a poor fami-
ly; that porter is a weak support for
those who are weak in body.
Yesterday at three O'Clock a little
bIaek-and-tan rushed out of a passage
on Second street and made straight for
MansfOrd's bookstore, yelping and howl
inc IN IN ranaa-fhIu manner A Uanfta-
man, who was standing in the store en-
ioying a quiet, cheap read of the papers,
thought his shins in danger as the cur
snapped at them in the most vicious
manner. The nervous person first
Jumped up on the shelves, and then
threw himself bodily over on Mans
ford's table, which is covered with all
sorts of illustrated literature and nice
things of that sort. When he was thus
well out of the CANNES reach, wet
clothes, dirty boots and all, the dog left
in pursuit of other spindle shanks down
Monroe street. The man thought the
dog mad, but it appears he was only bar
baTously turpentined.
Out of a panel of six hundred and
ninety seven summoned, the Criminal
Court has succeeded in procuring only
seven jurors { try PostOn. Five hun
bred more will be i'm attendance to-day
from which to select the remaining five
Jurors. 1t is curious that only in a
hundred is found tit to do jury service in
tins case. There is a story told of a
gentleman who vas set aside in this
case because he vas travelling in Europe
At the time the crime was committed
for which the accused is to be tried.
did not know either party nor any of
their relatives, but he read the account
in the APPEAL as he walked along the
Strada di Toledo in Naples. He merely
recoIlected having read it, and thought
il was a hOrrid outrage. The weather,
he remarked a the same time, was
horribly torrid, and be had just purchased
i've cents worth of Sicily oranges from
a rdgGzzl.
That alleged robbery ON DesotO
street appears TO be q curious affair.
There was only IA young woman in the
world who knew where that money was
away. She saw the old man put
it in his drawer and fix a false lining to
the same. This woman, who is yellow
and was recently married to a cOlored
attendant at the Senate saloon, vas sus-
pected by Captain Athy of being con-
ia the robbery, and he impaired
his suspicious TO old man Allen, saying,
the same time, that she might not
AVE taken it herself, but some one did
who had been informed by her. 1t SO
happened that while this conversation
was going on in Captain Athy's office,
his self-same husband of the said yell
ow woman was present. How he
'scOOted' out of there would be a lesson
or the trainer of Dexter. That evening
he stolen bonds and other money were
ound in the yard, and now it is report
d that two bills, of the denomination
f one thousand dollars each, and a bun
lie of money, was found later in the
anne place. 1t is expected the whole
UNI viii be returned.
