Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-06-08
THE MEMPHIS DAILY APP

TIRE, about five feet six inches tall, his
I right arm off at the shoulder, and claim
ing to have come from Mount Sterling,
Illinois, attended, store for him for two
| weeks, at the end Of which time he ran
away with all the moneyhe took in dur
ing that time. The postmaster says he
has every reason to believe that he is the
man that forged an order for fourteen
bales Of cotton belonging to Mr.. Moore,
stored at this place, and was getting
ready to ship TO Little Rock on the train
which was due in about thirty minutes,
when Nj. Moore happened to come into
town and stopped the shipment.
1t is said that the recent heavy
strikes have been inspired by the Inter
rationale. Their orators train of thought
and argument is certainly neither Eng
lish nor American, but savors strongly
of the Faubourg st. Antoine and the
beer shops of Berlin. The English and
American demagogues, loud as theymay
rave about the tyranny of capital, rarely
permit themselves to counsel open re-
sistance 20 the law, or to accomplish
moral or social reforms by physical
force. They have a clearer discernment
! than the Continental agitatOr has Of the
dividing line between law and order,
and are usually prudent enough not TO
Overstep il. The incendiaTy sentiments
which have continually erept out from
the speeches of the orators Of thestrlkers,
is directly traceable to German and
French inspiration; in other words, to
the Societe haternGtiOndle.
At the residence of Judge j. P.
FOute, on Alabama street, last evening,
| there were gathered together a large
number of the friends of the family, en-
loving what may be called q domestic
picnic. The fete ehompetre was a de-
iightful festival, in whieh numbers of
| neighbors, who had learned to esteem
each other through long acquaintance,
drew the bonds of friendship more close
ly, and added a bright speck to " mem
Oryis Waste.u The grounds were lighted
up with Chinese lanters and various
lamps. The beautifully dressed and ST.
lent children mingled happily together,
while the wiser and older heads partici-
pated with graver dignity and little less
i~oyOusness. The reunion of friends in
social summer pleasures Of that sort
might take place much Oftener than
they do, thus making the path Of life
more pleasant and aOwery. The young
people enjoyed themselves until ten
or eleven o'clock. The matured branches
fingered a little longer.
Two boys of Oxford, Mississippi,
who attended the Sunday-school process
sion here, writeu us a letter in which they
regret their inability to call and see us,
and add: "We wanted to see how fast
your new press could throw off her APP
PEALs. We did not get to see half of
Memphis. We saw the grand river, but
did not get to go on a boat. We saw
four great Institutions, Menken Broth
ers, LOwenstein, the APPEAL office,
and Court Square. We almost dined at
COnfectiOnary's, and we can't compli-
ment them much, for they charged US
more than we can buy for at home.
Mankind must be very bad, according
to accounts you give of it in the AP-
drunkenness, and swearing, etc. Was
it always that way? You give us much
good reading, though. Good prospects
for crops; overflow likely not to come.
| Grant losing ground, and strong hopes
held out of his final overthrow. Go ON
making your APPEALS, the people like
to read them; they come regular now.
