Mr.. CHARLES LOKER, of St. Louis,
of the Loker Tobacco Manufacturing
Company of that city, is among the ar
rivals at the Peabody.
GENERAL ALBERT PIKE was in Lou
isville last week in attendance upon the
convention of the Supreme COnsisfoFy
of the SD Degree Scottish Rite Masous,
at which Memphis was represented by
Mr.. A. E. FARMLAND, the popular aue-
tiOneer.
A. J. BLACK, Mississippi; b. r.
Pierce, Mobile; II. X. Slaughter, New
York; o. Edmunds, Massachusetts; p.
Raymond, Alabama; H. H. Loring,
Boston; w. S. L. Holland, Mississippi
G. c. SwoOpc, Alabama, are at the Pea
body hotel.
WE REGRET, as will multitudes OF
people in Tennessee, to learn that The
residence of Colonel Thomas Peters,
now of Birmingham, Alabama, was
burned a few days ago-the house and
its contents a total loss, and constituting
the product of his labors since the war.
CAPTAIN DEHAvEN is very anxious
to secure certain specifications and
drawings of his steamboat, which We're
left in Memphis some two or three
years ago. Parties having any of these
drawings win do Captain DeHaven a
service by leaving them at the APPEAL
office.
Mr.. w. J. L. HOLLAND of that steT-
ling newspaper, the Holly Springs Re
porter, is in the city on business, and
will, during his stay, of a few days, call
upon our merchants who may be solicit
$50 $ ,.-oa-sn - Ah.s- EroA do in mart of
Mississippi that has always been famous
for a cultivated, high-toned and energet-
ic population. Mr.. Holland is n worthy
representative of the craft, and We hope
will be successful among those who are
liberal advertisers. His paper circulates
largely in Holly Springs and in Miss
issippi is N of the leading organs OF
public opinion.
JUDGE THOMAS w. Brown, who has
been in attendance upon the Supreme
Court ever since il assembled at Jack
son, will be at home tomorrow. He
has our warmest thanks for personal
services in behalf of the APPEAL Pub
fishing Company whose suit with Al
bert Pike he has defended with his usual
success. No gentleman at the bar at
Memphis, or indeed of Tennessee,
stands higher than Judge Brown, who
unites to rare attachments in the law the
faculty as a writer of the practiced jOurn-
alist. His services i'll times past lin be-
half of the South, and particularly OF
Tennessee, are treasured by q grateful
people.
A MAN representing himself as Cap
tain S. a. Lee, late of the Confederate
Navy, is now in this city seeking credit
at stores and the countenance
of til public on the faith OF
a letter of introduc ton from EX-Presi-
dent Davis, which, having been well in
trOduced some time since, he obtained
by false representations, and which,
though required by Mr.. Davis to return
when his real character and antecedents
were discovered, he failed to surrender.
1t is proper that the public should be in
formed as to this man, and that they
should know if he again presents Mr..
Davis letter. Having been called on to
give it up he is attempting to practice
an imp0sture.

Here we have had a magistrates cleo
ton. There were sixteen Greeley can
didates, and only one Grant mar in the
field. The Granite, black as Erebus,
was elected by an overwhelming major
ity. If we had thirty or forty more
magistrates, the number of suits and
mass of petty spiteful litigation would
be doubled. Each j. p must live, and
the fairness of his person depends upon
the number OF his cases and obesity of

The following is the result of the
ype-setting match at the picnic yester-
day: Willie Holland set in thirty min
utes six hundred and seVenty-six ems,
with three errors, and was declared win
ner of the prize, w. +. Quain set five
hundred and fifty-nine ems, with two
errors, and was declared second in the
match. r. J. LeClerc set six hundred
and thirty-two ems, but unfortunately
made a dOublet and three errors, which
lost him the second place in the match
declared third. John Cook set four
hundred and eighty-one ems, with nine
errors, which placed him last in the race

slightly cOlored, lately deceased from
too much morphine. She was COM

the drug to allay the ~twitchings of that

that attended her administered too

the inquest. She was t~wenty-four
years old, or whereabouts, and lived in
the purlieus between Court and Jeffer-

William Robinson is a fraud, appar-

he is to be chain-ganged most likely.
He was arrested yesterday ON the charge
of beating the Sam J. Hale Out of a pass

~telegraphic dispatch which he pretend

was sent him, which he would get in
due time. When arrested several such
dispatches We're found upon him, and a
bundle of blank forms, such as are used
in the telegraph offices for sending out
received dispatches upon. He was
working that little game in his Own
clumsey way to his advantage. He beat

family of helpless children were sent
back to Louisville, but Billy will have

THE FIIssr NAY QUEEN.
The Rocco Hall Last Night a scene OF
LONELINESS.
The Festival Progressing In the Most
AstonishfngIy Successful Manner

Above all festivals for beauty Is that at
Rocco Hall, which will be classic ground
for the future. An Unprecedented and
unexpected success has attended the
undertaking so far. This is due TO the
excellent arrangements of the ladies
who have the matter under their judi
cious control. A new feature being
added every night makes the festival a
new thing.
The feature last night was
A MAY QUEEN CRowNING
by the little ladies of Grace church.
This very beautiful childish ceremony
always draws a crowd of larger babies
to witness it. In fact, the common feel
ing, in presence of such a sweet episode
of infantile life, is, ~ wish / were a
babe" The sweet, small person de-
signed to be honOred on this occasion
vas Miss Emma Lumpkin. She was
preceded to the throne by a procession
Of smaller beauties, who streWed flowers
in her path, and our partieulariarly
brilliant and fast little friend, Master
Lee Meriwether, as Z" Herald delivered
the coronation remarks.
The whole party then sang 1.-THE glad
May morn,n after which the Queen was
crowned by the Archbishop, Miss Matte
Merriweather, and Miss Lucy MeITi-
weather presented the seepter; that was
thesymbol OfsOyereign power during the
night. Then there was a song. May
Q~ueen'salways indulge in songs for their
subjects are generally singists. The sea-
son, of which we have four in this part
of the world, made speeches. Spring
was represented by Ada Ware; Sum-
mer by Annie HumphTies; Autumn
by Sallie Phelan; Winter by VIII
lie Finnie. There was a dance.
NFashion-Miss Bersie Martin spoke a
piece. Folly-0Iivia Hill made a few
pertinent remarks. Cupid-Master
Clyde Steinkuhl breatheG some artieu-
lated love. Another dance. Speeding
again. Faith-CaTrie Learned preached.
HOpe-Annie Dixon discussed beauti-
fully. Charity-Miss Bette Banksmith
scattered flowers of rhetoric. Music
Miss Polly ClarksOn breathed a spell, to
all of which Her Most Gracious Majesty
replied in a speech Of -transcendant
sweetness and wisdom.
Closing song" Come, plavmates,
come"
When this elaborate ceremony wa
felieitiously ended the more serious bu-
siness of the festival went on with vigor.
A cake worth an immense sum was
voted to Miss Oracle Rhine as being the
lOveliest child in the hall. 1t brought
one hundred and nine dollars.
The crowd was immense. Nearly all
the distinguished people in the city visit
the hall during the night. There will
be an opera this evening. The great
rattle comes Oft tomorrow night.

the Office of DIR. w. T. Irwin, to take
action on the death of DIR. w. v. Tay-
Tor, ST., DIR. Irwin was called to the
Chair, aud DIR. D.. ID. Saunders appointed
Secretary. The Chairman made a few
opening remarks, stating that he had
known DIR. Taylor for the past twenty
wears, and in all the relations oflife; had
ever known him the same heightened,
chivalrous, honorable and Christian gen.
tleman.
Dr. Frayser spoke elOquently and
enthusiastically of the character of the
departed. He had known him for
thirty years, and during that long space
of mortal life he was always, at all
times, and in all places, kind, gentle,
truthful and honest.
DR.. Cavenagh spoke feelingly of his
friend, the late DIR. w. V. Taylor, and
in a short resume of his life dwelt on
the high standard of his professional at
tainments; his gentleness at the bedside
of suffering humanity; his love and
consideration for the Younger members
Of the profession; his exceeding great
charity; his love of truth, and his 0
for anything base and false in life.

RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Divine
Providence TO call from our midst DR..
w. V. Taylor, ST., who, after spending
over sixty years in the active and ardu-
Gus duties of his profession, calmly and
peacefully departed from this world to
the home that he had for years been
preparing for by the u~nassuming per-
Torrance of all the duties called for in a
Christian life;
ResolUed, That the medical profession
of the city of Memphis look on the
death of DIR. Taylor as a loss to the pro-
fessiOn which he adorned so well during
life, and his death has left a blank in
society that can with difficulty be filled.
ReSolUed, That the family of the late
Doctor Taylor have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the Medical profession in their
sad bereavement; but in this the hour
of mourning they have the supreme
consolation of Rowing that he has left
to them a legaey-a gem above all price

name, and to the community the exam
pie of a life spent " sans pear ct sans re-
prOche, - the well spent life of a Chris
tian gentleman.

THE CELEBRATED HOsTERLY RENEW
ING 4 WORTH.
We are pleased 10 learn that our old
acquaintance and friend, Captain Billy
White, of the Worsham House, is inn
proving rapidly, at the Hot Springs.
Captain White hada severe spell Ofsick-
ness and under the advice of his physi-
ciaDs, went to the Hot Springs. Since
his departure much has been done in
renovating the old Worsham, and it is
nov in better condition than for many
years. The House has been almost
thoroughly painted, calcimined, and
looks as clean and neat as a new pin.
The cleaning process is not quite COM
pleted but enough has been done to
show the public that Messrs. White &
Sehley, p~rOprietOrs, are determined to
maintain their reputation as hotel
keepers. They have rebuilt the Wor-
sham and gotten it back to its old stand
ard. Mr.. John T. Cox, the Chief Clerk,
will always be found now in the Office,
assisted by Mr.. J. H. Williams. Mr..
Sam. Finley still runs the dining-room,
and we all know that his experience in
line requires no comment.

MERRIMAN & WILCOX, agents for
the Mathushek Pianos, 2738. Main street,
take pleasure in submitting the follow
ing very gratifying testimonial from the
proprietor of "WatsOn's Conservatory
of Music" in New York, addressed to
the manufacturers of the pianos which
they have fOl sale:
GENTLEMEN: Having heard and read
a gOOddeal about the Mathushek Pianos,
l came to the conclusion that where
there was so much smoke there must
surely be some fire"
Friends and strangers were continually
asking me what l thought of the Colibri
Pianos. l finally determined to make q
thorough investigation of their peculiar
merits. l must admit that | had serious
misgivings as to the result, as | had
been taught to believe with many other
musicians, that only such firms ne
Chickering, Steinway, and a few others,
were really capable of manufacturing
first-class pianos. A short time pre-
viOus to my recent visit to Norway, with
my friend Ole Bull, l performed at a
concert in the Everett Rooms. A niece
of mine Miss Annie A. WatsOn) was
the piano solOist, and a few days pre-
VlOus to the concert, we very naturally
inquired what piano would be used upon
the occasion; we soon a%scertained that
of your Orchestral Pianos had been
selected; now, thought /, this will af-
ford me an excellent opportunity to test
the very piano l have so long desired to
hear.
The concert opened with R~ossini's
beautiful overture to 'sSemiramide,"
arranged for piano and violin. As our
rehearsal had taken place at my music
rooms, | had not heard a sound from
your piano until the evening of the CON
cert.
Before the overture was finished, l had
decided that a great revolution had been
effected in piano-making-the beautiful
tone and wonderful equality throughout
its whole compass captivated me at
once; and although the Everett Rooms
are exceedingly deficient in their con-
structiOn, in point of musical acoustics,
several prominent musical artists pres
ent assured me that the most delicate
passages executed upon yourinstrument
were perfectly distinct in every part of
the hall. Since the date of this concert
he Mathushek has been mig faUOrife.
Respectfully yours, ]. JAY WATSON.

PEYTON SMITH.

We call attention to the announce
ment, in another column, of Major Pey-
ton Smith, of Upton county, as a candi-
date to represent the counties of Upton,
Fayette and Shelby, in the next State
Senate. The Democracy of Upton
county have, in convention, unanimous
ly recommended Major Smith for the
the position. Major Smith is a lawyer
of ability, a man of sterling integrity
and universally popular and we believe
the Democracy of Shelby viii accord
this position to Upton county, and we
sure no more worthy man can be
found for the place.

They had a fine house last night, which
their peculiar cheerful genius kept i'm a
roar of laughter for four hours, and they

ter is not valued as it ought.

SUNDAY-SCHOOLS.
Mistake About It-Mr. FLYNN
VIII be Heard Prom.

BARTLETT, TENNESSEE, May g, lsL2.
EDITORS APPEALING of our Sun
day-schOols here, numbering together
one hundred and fifty, had made ar
Engagements to join as schools in the
I grand celebration on the tenth instant;
but the question was raised as to what
is the exact meaning of Superintendent
Flynn's offer to Sunday-schOols, as pub
lished in the APPEAL and other papers,
whether he means that he will carry our
children the round trip at children's fare
one way twenty-five cents as last year,
or, that he will require one ftH fare fifty
cents for all. Mr.. Flynn was consulted
personally about the matter. He cleared
up the ambiguity of his published notice
by saying that he meant that no one
would be carried from Bartlett to Mem
phis and returned for less than fifty
cents. Whereupon, ON Sunday, our
schools recOnsidered their previous ac-
ton, and decided hat they will not 90
to Memphis on the tenth for two reasons,
viz:
First. They do not want to patTonize,
when they a help it, a railroad which
shows a smaller spirit of accOmmOda-
ton to Sunday-schools than all others;
and,
Second. Many of the children are I'M
able to pay fifty cents for a pleasure
which ought to be bought for half the
money.
We could not think of leaving part of
the children behind, for every one Of
them had their hearts set upon the trip.
In lieu of the Memphis celebration,
we will give our schools a picnic here ON
the twenty-foUrth instant, to which we
mean to invite neighboring schools, and
thus have, in a small way, a a grand
union celebration in the country.
