Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-05-23
TRE sELnA RAILROAn.

The LCdger proposes, as did a CORE.
spondent Of the APPEAL, Colonel G. w.
Gift, the severance of the Memphis and
Selma road. The purpose is the assump-
tion, by each end of the road, of the
debt created in its behalf, and the trans
formation of this end of the line into a
narrow-gauge. The Ledger and Ou1
correspondent say that if this be done,
the western end Of the road will be built
al once. This involves active cO-opera-
tion in the work by the county court,
and we have a note from a member
OF that court, stating that the pur-
pose of the magistrates, in the event
contemplated, are not misTepresent-
ed 1t thus seems that the county
court prefers to invest in a narrow
gauge and will expend money in
behalf of no other scheme if the neces-
sity may be evaded.
While all these statements of these
different people may be true, it is GER
tainly to be regretted that the original
plans OF the builders of the road may
not be consummated. No adequate
effort has been made by the people to
comply with the unavoidable demands
of General Forrest and his associates.

COUNTING ONE HUNDRED.

From the Danbury News.l
A Danbury man named Reubens re-
Gently saw a statement that counting
one hundred when tempted to speak an
angry word would save a man a great
deal of trouble. This statement sound
ed little singular at first, but the more
he read it over the more favOrably he
became impressed with it, and finally
concluded TO adopt it. Next door to
Reubens lives man who has made five
distinct attempts in the past fortnight
to secure dinner of green peas by the
first of July, and every time he has been
retarded by Reubens's hens. The next
morning after Reubens made his resolu-
ton, this man found his fifth attempt to
have miscarried. Then he called on
Reubens. He said:
"What in thunder do you mean by
letting your hens tear up my garden?"
Reubens was tempted TO call him
mudsnoot,a "a new name Just coming in
to general use, but he remembered his
resolution, put down his rage, and meek
ly observed:
"One two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight"
Then the mad neighbor who had been
eyeing this answer with a great deal of
suspicion, broke in again:
"Why don't you answer my question,
you rascal?n
But still Reubens maintained his equa-
nimity, and went on with the test:
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen-n
The mad neighbOr stared harder than
ever.
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twen-
ty, twenty-one-n
''You're mean skunk, (" said the mad
neighbor, backing toward the fence.
Reubens's face flushed at this charge,
but he only said:
''Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty
four, twenty-five, twenty-six-"
Al this figure the neighbor got upon
the fence in some haste, but suddenly
thinking of his peas, he opened his
mouth:
"You mean, low-lived rascal, for two
cents l could knock your cracked head
over barn, and ] would
"Twenty-seven, twenty-eight," )" inter-
rupted Reubens, "twenty-nine, thirty,
thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three-"
Here the neighbor broke for the house,
and entering it, violently slammed the
door behind him; but Reubens did not
dare let up on the enumerations, and
so he stood out there alone in his own
yard, and kept on counting, while his
burning cheeks and flashing eyes elo-
quently affirmed his judgment. When
he got mp into the eighties his wife came
to the door in some alarm.
"Why, Reubens, man, what is the
matter with your" she said. "Do come
into the house."
But he didn't let up. She came out
to him, and clung trembling to him, but
he only looked into her eyes, and said:
"Ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety
five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety
eight, ninety-nine, one hundred-go into
the house old woman, or I'll bust ye."
And she went.

We are informed 10y telegraph that
the wandering congressman who pop
ped down one bright morning so sudden
ly and heavily upon the future capital
OF the republic are coming to Memphis.
We are advised that they will call at

way to this city, and inquire even at
F7riars Point into the necessity for a Ievee

Our mayor and board of aldermen will
escort the lsw-givers from the steamer
TO the hotel, at which they will be enter
tanned handsomely. The congressman
are expected TO be especially delighted
with the taste and requirements of our
local law-givers, and the enter
talnment viii, doubtless, be emil
Denuy successful. In fact, no
effort should be spared to make
ihe sojourn of these potent congressman
an this city most delightful. We must
hereafter ask many bOons at their
hands, and the shortest way to an av-
ersge cougressman's affections is a
broad-gange, and lies through kind and

JOURNALISTIC FOES.

New York Correspondent Chicago Times.1
The late James Gordon Bennett, OF
the Herald, very seldom went anywhere,
his life being divided between his office
and his home. The only public occa-
sion on which [ remember to have seen
him was at the dinner given by Sir
Morsen PetO, at Delmonico's after the
close of the rebellion. Bennett then
seemed out of place and was personally
a stranger to the company, many of
whom did not even know his face. Be
sides him, Horace Greeley, Henry J..
RAYMOND, Manton Marble. Tburlow
Weed, James Brooks, William Cullen
Bryant, Theodore TilsOn, David NJ.
Stone, Parke Goodwin, Sydney Howard
Gay, George William Curtis, and other
noted journalists were present. Not a
few of these were unacquainted, and
still more were unwilling to speak to
each other. Greeley, Bennett and Bry-
ant passed and repassed each other with
out nod of recognition. Weed and
Greeley ignored one anOther's existence;
so did Reynolds and Marble, Stone and
Brooks, Tilton and Goodwin. Gay and
Curtis were, and are still, personal
and the latter seemed to be al
most the only gentleman holding ami
cable relations with his brethren. did
not see any of the fraternity speak to
Bennett during the whole evening, and
he held himself aloof, as if afraid he
might be spoken to. The terms on
which the principal scribes We're at
the time have not materially changed
since, though Greeley, Bennett and
have quilted this plane for
one, let us hope, in which there is more
professional courtesy and esprit de corps.
