VISITING MEMPHIS.
UsefuI Hints and Indispensable In
EtructiOuS 10 our Country Guests.

The extraordinary attractions Of the
city during the halcyon days between
now and Christmas will draw thous-
ands upon thousands Of country people,
who will desire to spend day or two,
or perhaps q week in the city, seeing
the " sights.n To these people it may
be necessary to offer a few words Of
counsel, which they would do well to
stow away in their memories before
starting. Among the things that oul
country cousins ought TO see in Mem
phis we will mention few. They
ought to see the Exposition about foui
times, at least. They ought TO see the
Grand Operah0use and the Theater.
They ought TO hear the Sabbath music
in some Of our churches. They ought
to see the Elevator. They ought
TO look at the Water-Works. They
will find visit to one OF our found
ries very entertaining. Either Cub
bins d Gum, Randle d Heath, OF
Risk & Johnson's will do. They ought
to see some of our ol-mills. They
would do well, also, TO visit the APPEAL
Office and see how great newspaper Ii
made.u Those who have no relations
nor acquaintance in the city will have
to decide beforehand where they shall
stop when here. They have great Sc
lection to choose from. There is the
Peabody Hotel, the Overton, the Wor.
sham, the Commercial, the Southern,
the Whitemore, the Central, and a host
Of bOarding-hOuses. A little forethOught
and calculation viii be found very use
ful. Decide upon your plan Of action
first, and then rigidly adhere TO it. A
person not familiar with the city ought
not to rush in here without a well de-
fined plan Of action made out 1t may
be found very useful to our visitors to
understand how the street-ears run, 50
that they may ride to any point they
may desire without having to pay enor-
nous prices. The Main street cars,
color blue, run from the Mississippi and
Tennessee depot to the brick church
at Chelsea, about three miles. The
Poplar street cars, color yellow, run
from the same depot to Brinkley ave-
nue., at the head Of Poplar street, two
and a half miles. The Beale and JEFF
fersOn street cars, color green, run from
the Charleston railroad crossing, at the
head of Vance street, all through the
city, past the Exposition Building, to
the Charleston depot, two and half
miles. The fernando street cars, color
red, run from ElmwOod Cemetery TO
Court Square, and from nine in the
morning to half-past ten at night they
run to the Exposition Building, and
during Fair week, to the Charleston
depot; distance, three and a quarter
miles -Four tickets can be purchased
for quarter on any of these routes,
which entities one to four rides. whether
long or short. Those people who stop
over Sundays can be carried to almost
any church ON the cars, from any point.
We have about thirty-five churches In
the city, few of the larger Of which we
may name, st. Peters (Catholic), corner
Of Third and Adams; Calvary church
(Episcopal), corner of Second and Ad-
ans; First Baptist, adjacent to Calvary /;
Cumberland Presbyterian, on Court
street. near the Square; Presbyterian, at
the corner Of Main and Beale. All street.
cars pass it. DR.. Slater's, Methodist, on
Second, near Poplar. Third Presby-
terian, corner Of Poplar and Third
streets. Jewish Temple, corner Of Main
and Exchange. Central Baptist, on
Second, near Beale. Christian Church,
on Linden, near Main street. st. Pat
rick's, Catholic, corner of Linden and
DeSoto streets. Asbury, Methodist,
corner Of Linden and fernando. Grace
Church, Episcopal, corner of PontOtOc
and fernando. The Episcopal Cathe-
dral, on Poplar, near the end Of street
railroad. All these churches are ada
cent to street-cars, and strangers can
readily reach them by inquiring which
car to take. They will find the sermons
on the Sabbath of a very superior order.
