Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-10-06

The movement to pave Vance stree
is progressing.
The streets and roads in and abou
the city are again very dusty.
The streets last night We're line,
with beggars, many of them young ant
a~ble-bodied men.
Several famous trotters are comm!
here from the North to contend for tn.
one thousand dollar purse at the comm.
Fair.
The police made a raid on the dray
men yesterday for the crime of running
without license.
-Luhrmann & Meyers pay two thou
sand and five dollars for the bar priv
leges at the Exposition.
The weather yesterday was deci
dedly summef2ke and sultTy. ether
mometer went up to eighty-fve.
Captain Weatherford had the disa
greeable duty to-perfOrm of shooting {
g~landered horse yesterday. He did j
like a man.
Nearly a dozen horses now on eXhi
bitiOn at the st. Louis fair, will be
brought here for exhibition at oul
County Fair.
- Cincinnati appreciates her Expo.
sition. Two hundred thousand dollar,
have already been subscribed for nexi
years Exposition.
The interests of Memphis will
shortly demand another rousing up OF
the enthusiastic energies of the mon
eyed men in order to push out our rail-
road connections.
On account of the illness of pete
Kirby, one of the popular conductors OF
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad,
John Cain has been running double -
aud still he grOtCLs. Why not?
We have received the political
chart prepared and published by +.
Hanneford & Co., of Cincinnati and
Chicago. 1t is done upon a nicely col
lred and vanished sheet, like a map,
fit to hang up in an office. The tables,
and political statistics will be found very
useful, politically.
Iii is suggested by a number Of gen.
tlemen who have horses TO enter for the
shelby County Purse, which has been
swelled by private subscription tonearly
eight hundred dollars, to be trotted for
at the forthcoming fair, that the entries
be closed at least five days previous TO
the day fixed for the race.
We have to thank Mansford, the
popular newsdealer at the corner of Sec
| Ond and Monroe, for a batch of late dali
| lies and illustrated weeklies. Mansford
has everything fresh in the new line,
and receives his supplies by all the light
ming express routes. He is always in
front, and cannot be eXceled.
"A huge weather map, recently eX-
! hibited at the Cincinnati Exposition,
viii, we learn, be brought here and ex-
hibited at the Exposition by the Signal
Bureau of the Wa Department. 1t will
be corrected twice daily, and besides
giving the direction of the wind at vari-
Gus points, will give the weather proba-
5ilities.
Last week the County Court Clerk

After twelve o'cIockIast night a most
Sigular electrical phenomenon was Oh
served in the northwestern heavens. 1t
appeared, the sky did, to be Lit up by
the blOOd-red reflection Of a fire in
Arkansas somewhere. The playing OF
the electric light, Of dark crimson, dis
PEELED the notion. The light radiated
from a point twenty-five degrees above
the horizon. The popularity consisted
in its color and in its sitUatiOn-nOrth-
west.
There is a man in our town that
would lay CREASED lightning in the
shade, if the electric fluid was in the
newspaper business alone, and that chap
Is the irrepressible Joe Locke, at 1864
Main street. He rarely fails to lead all
competitors in reception Of papers
Quantity and quality. The supply Of
sunday reading matter is tremendous,
aud varies to suit the taste Of everybody.
DO not fail to pay Joe a visit this morn
ing.
The Memphis Industrial Exposition
will bel grandsuccess. The building will
be ready for the reception Of goods in 2
few days, and the large number of ap-
DlicatiOns to the Superintendent indi-
.ate that there will not be a foot Of
a to spare in the building. The
iOOrs will be thrown open to the public
N Tuesday morning, the fifteenth in
-tant. The Board Of Directors have ex-
Derienced considerable difficulty in
pushing their work forward, being Grip
Dled for want of funds, and We are glad
to chronicle their success. The building
presents a very fine appearance, and
will be visited by thousands of people
,o-day.

Last Friday about sunset, a young
nan named Billy Walls, who lives
Of LaGrange, across the Mississippi
inc, shot and killed a man named
about one mile southeast Of that
Nunly lived long enough 10
some statements TO his friends in
'egard to the affair, but we are not in :
Of thenature Of these statements. !
the day that he was killed he I
in Lagrange several hours, and was |
considerably intoxicated, and very in {
to everybody he met. Some {
ime during the day he and Walls had a
difficulty, in which Nunly made threats
# killing the former. Finally, he left
he town, and everybody thought the
difficulty at an end. Walls afterward I
tarted home, but vas warned by a 1
riend that Nunly was secTeted in the I
woods, near the road, a mile from town. a
Walls, nevertheless, started home, and {
Dund that his information was true.
lunly was found at the place indicated,
nd Walls shot and killed him. The
articulars that ensued when the antag- Ii
nists met are not known at this time. \
Nothing can be more attractive to
be progressive mind than the study Of
ducatiOn. 1t must strike the most su-
CRITICAL observer that there is no har- I,
lony nor consistency, no relation to :
ature in what We egotistically call our
EDUCATIONAL system. 1t is a tumble of
lcongTUities. The most unlike and
heterogeneous subjects are classed to-
ether in the common programme. We
se geography and arithmetic and music Z
lnged side by side, between which there I
no relation discoverable by the devel- il
ping mind. We need reforms in this y
epartment more than any other. DIR. II

re two great branches, science and art F

ided into five branches: Positive \

AIDES, and mental philosophy. Art is j
ivided into useful and ornamental arts. y
science Is sub-divided into two o
