WHEN the recent financial panic set
in, the APPEAL urged the planters to
send in their cotton, and with it, as fast
as possible, pay our merchants what
they owe them. Our call has not been
in vain, as the increased receipts of cot
ton every day, will testify. Our mer-
chants appreciated our efforts in their
behalf, and we notice from circular,
now before US, signed by thirteen of the
leading mercantile houses of Sardis that
it has taken hold Of the merchants there
as the only mode Of present relief that
promises, until the existing strin-
gency is counterbalenced by plenty
Of currency. The Sardis mer-
chants very sensibly say to their Gus
toners: 1--WE appeal to our customers,
who have had the benefit of our credit
in making their crops, to bring them
forward without delay and receive from
us liberal price, or place them in our
hands to be held subject to their orders
In this manner we can, in a measure,
relieve our Indebtedness, which is now
upon US, and it will enable US TO grant
further accommodations TO the planter.
Without this immediate assistance We
fear the worst has not come, and we
cannot help but think that the mass of
the cotton being held back will lessen
the price and greatly lessen the ability
Of the planter to meet his obligations"

BISHOP TozER's letter to Bishop Pot
ter, in regard to the communion of the
Dean Of Canterbury with the members
of the Evangelical Alliance, has created
quite stir in Episcopal church circles
Bishop Cummins, of Kentucky, has
made answer to Bishop Tozer, and says:
"As far as l know, the liberal Episcops-
lians of New York rejoice in the action
of the Dean of Canterbury, and thank
God for it. When the Episcopal church
Of England and of the United States has
been able to clear herself, which, may
God in his infinite mercy soon grant, of
the deadly evil of ritualism, whose last
development is the revival of the con-
fessional, then, and not till then, may
she become haven of rest to manned
souls, who would rejoice to see her the
center and bond of organic
unity to all Protestant christendOm.

A DISTINGUISHED judge and member
of the supreme court, suggests in
augurating q stematic and certain
charity fund fer the poor, to continue
through the coming wiuter, in order to
save our destitute people from the actual
want which must follow the present
prostration Of all business, if an effeCtual
and permanent means Of relief is not
organized. The plan is simple one,
and it consists of procuring subscribers
to an instrument of the following
nature:
The subscribers hereto do bind themsel YES
10 pay 70 the treasurer of the Howard asSO-
citation, Of the city Of Memphis, five dollars
each, per week,to be remitted by each Of them
without further demand every Sabbath-dsy 20
the address o. said treasurer for the purpose
Of creating certain and reliable charity
1und Tor the poor, during the pestilence OW
prevailing. They DO iurther bind themselves
and promise that this contribution snail be
continued through the period Of the pre- cnt
visitation OF yellOw-fevcr and for two We cks
after il has been officially stated By the board
OF health tnat the disease has disappeared
from the city.
We cordially indorse this plan, whose
simplicity recommends it 10 general
acceptance. Our learned and benevolent
correspondent informs US that he has
enlisted friends in behalf Of this expe-
dent in Nashville, in Brownsville and
Somerville. He is hopeful of procuring
three hundred subscribers in Fayette
county alone. Who will emulate the
kind-hearted Tennessee judge?

mittee on transportation. On leaving

NEW YORK, October 16.-At a ses-
sion to-day of the transportation COM
mittee of the United States senate,
Carlos Cobb, of Memphis, made q fa-
vOrable statement concerning the trans
fer facilities and our storage capacity for
grain at this point. The lighterage de-
livery, performed by middle men, COM
pels shippers of grain to pay the
charge of three-fourths
of cent per bushel for unloading
carriers vessels, while the world over
common carriers load and unload
their own vessels. Weighing is done in
process of elevation, for which there is a
charge three-fourth per cent. per bushel |
which is divided between the |
shipper and buyer. In the present sys-
tenn of railroads shortage varies from |
One-half to ten per cent; one to three
per cent. is not uncommon, although |
natural shortage should not equal one
per cent. Thefts along the line and from |
the railroad lines have not been of un-
occurrence, and overcharges are |
Of frequent occurrence, either in rate of |
height or quantity. The remedies pro-
posed were that railroads guarantee the
quantity, and charge a rate of freight
covering ordinary waste, and that each
grain carrying road should erect at its
terminus here, elevators of such capaci-
Y as would contain the deliveries of
zach road, for, say one week, and large
OTIS should be kept indentical. Small
OTIS under the charge of an inspector,
hould be bulked. All grain should be
handled by such an elevator, and held
rec, subject to the order of the con-
ignee for a reasonable time, after
which, it should be subject to moder-
tie change.

A Little Hero.

The terrible fire which desolated
Chicago is still fresh in your minds.
Many incidents which occurred while
the flames were devouring cherished
and happy homes are worthy of
record. We viii now give one as an
example Of honest faithfulness.
1t is said that a wealthy widow on
the Nor:h side Of the city was strug-
Cling alone that never-to-be-forgotten
Monday evening to save some Of her
personal goods, when a small and un-
known boy came to her and said:
Il have been sent by your friend
to askif | can do anything to help you"
The lady gave him box. and told
him the best he could do for her was
to take care of that, as it was very
valuable. He disappeared with it,
and she carried trunk after trunk to a
place of supposed safety, saw them
all burned. and. finally, barely escaped
with her own life.
All night and the following Tues
day passed, and nothing was heard
from the boy or box. Her diamonds,
worth thousands Of dollars, iewelry,
choice silver, and some rare relics,
were in it, and she was more troubled
for its loss than that of her house and
furniture.
But Tuesday night the boy was
found sitting on the box, which be
had buried in the sand on the lake
shore. He had been there twenty
four hours at one time was obliged to
half bury himself to escape the de-
vouring FIRE. The poor boy was hun
CRY and very tired, but be never once
thought of deserting bis charge.
Don't you think, dear readers, that
such faithfulness is beyond praise ?
How many of you could have resis-
ted going to see after the FIRE, or to
obtain food, and, in thus deserting
your post, perhaps have forgotten ex-
actly where the treasure was buried,
or returned to find it stoleng But the
faithful boy, though the flames were
almost scorching him, and be was
half starved and wearied out, never
wavered in doing right
Now shall We give you little incl
dent of generous selfdenial
After the FIRE a little newsboy was
selling papers. He saw much Of
suffering and misery about him, and
it touched his heart. He thought be
was able TO earn something, while
others were perfectly helpless, so be
took his pennies, went TO the relief
and said:
Here's fifteen cents-it is all
havcgot ;may be it'll do little good"
Could be do more than give his al?
And was not this unsel6sh gift from
the poor little newsboy equal in the
sight Of our Heavenly Father to
from the rich '-Schoot-
day Visitor.
