MEMPHIS AsSAILER.
We find the following paragraph go
of H.

we Ahu lue lOAOHluS paIasIdpn go
ing the rounds of the papers:
.The Howard association Of Memphis has
struck a baignce-sheet, and finds itself the
which IL has decided TO hold In reserve for fu-
ture emergencies
II tnis be true, it reveals sta5e of facts quite
discredit;able TO the people OF Memphis. some
weeks since we published a communication
stating that when the yellow-fever first broke
out in Memphis the city issued scrip TO meet
Immediate necessities, and that this scrip was
afterwarC redeemed with the voluntary con-
t~ibutions from other cities thus throwing
The entire pecuDiary burdens Of the plague
upou -. Louis, Chicago. Cincinnati, and other
places. Memphis ought at least to have borne
her sha-e Of her own misfOrtunes. We have
called ulNO1 the Memphis papers for an ex-
planation nut they have never offered any.
II, IN addfuoT 20 all this, they have thirty-tlve
thousand dolls>U surplus now on hand II IS
very evident that they made appeals for aid
after they had cea Ned 10 need any, ana that
they acted in bad fal "a win lhe people OF Ihe
entire country. AppeaiH for aid rlor suffering
Memphis" will not meet hearty response IN
other cities very soon again, OF We are greatly
mistaken.
The above is from the st. Louis Globe
of Thursday. We do not know why
our contemporary should thus persist
entity pursue Memphis. The APPEAL
has already assured it that the gentle
men conducting the affairs of the exec
utive relief committee and the Howard
association were among our best ciu-
zens, and that careful examination of
their books and accounts, by commit
tees specially appointed to the task, re-
vealed the fact that every cent received
was acknowledged in the Avalanche,
Register, Ledger, or APPEAL, and prop
erIy accounted for. 1t is not evident that
Memphis made appeals for aid when
she ceased to need it, and the stain or
slur attempted to be cast upon her by
the Globe is ill-timed, undeserved and
jmpertinent. In conclusion, we call the
attention Of our cotemporary, who
seems to be Memphis mad, to the fact
that Chicago has, in proportion,
a larger fund on hand, the
residCe Of moneys forwarded for
the relicf Of her citizens made poor |
10y the fire, than lhat reported by our
Howard, i'&et known to the whole
"a q yel We have never heard it
charged JB~ o. was result Of her calls
for help ipug after she CEASED to need it.
indeed, it would be very stupid to so as
sert, for the money on the way, and that
could not be arrested by the donors after
they heard that no more aid was meet
ed, was of itself sufficient to make up
such fund. The Globe should study a
little common sense before it again ven
lures TO assail our city and her citizens.

WASHINGTON, January 2.-The pub
lie debt has increased S., ,45S, ,272 during
the past month.
Not the slightest anxiety is felt at the
navy department for the safety of the
United States steamer Franklin. That
steamer sailed from Boston on the twen-
ty-third of December, for Key West,
and, under general instructions from the
department, probably went out under
sail, hence it is likely she may not reach
her destination for a week to come, as
she nc doubt put to sea to avoid the gulf
stream, and did not encounter the
trade-winds before reaching the
southern latitude. Her voyage
has been slow. At this season OF the
year the trade winds are not fallen in
with before getting very far south, and
in-the-wan passage and Providence
West before twelve or fourteen days, at
least, from the time-of sailing. Again,
the Franklin had on board green crew,
and some attention has probably been
given to their instruction instead of
going directly to Key West by
the shortest route. The United
States has not lost a frigate-
built vessel since 1898, when the
Insurgent, captured from the French,
was fitted out and sent to sea, but was
never heard from afterward. Captain
Simpson, who commands the Franklin,
is one of the best officers of the navy,
and faithful navigator.
The increase of the public debt since
June, 1873, is eleven million four hun
dred and ninety-six thousand six hum
dred and twelve dollars. The following
is a condensed statement of the public
debt at this date:

there is good ground for stating that it

ST. NICHOLAS FOR JULY
is unusually brilliant. There is story by
Bret Harte about wonderful little grizzly
bear, in which the varied and curious for
tunes Of the animal, "Baby Sylvester" by
name, are told with all the authors accus-
toned quaintness and humor. "Baby'' must
have been charming bear. "Your caress-
iug hand" says the author, "sank away in
his fur with dreamy languor. To look at him
long was an intoxication of the senses to
pat HIM was a wild delirium; to embrace him
an utter decentralization of the mental facul-
ties" The story is finely illustrated by
Sheppard and James c. Beard, one of the
engravings being capital picture of the au-
thor disturbed in his sleep by the infant griz-
ely. William Cullen Bryant contributes a
beautiful little poem from the Spanish, and
there is very we'll told story of the war of
1872, called "Rebecca, the Drummer" by
Charles Barnard, which will stir up the pat
riotism in girls as we'll as boys. Then we
have an article ON " Fire Crackers and the
Fourth of july" by VIM. c. Rideing, in
which the mysterious inscriptions on packs of
crackers are explained, and the whole sub
ject of fire works is discussed. This article
is well illustrated, and the last picture, by
Thomas Morant, shows pack of fire crack
ers flashing and banging away, as they will
on the glorious Fourth. There is one of the
favorite "Peterkin" sketches by Lucretia P.
Hale, and L. G. Warner has charming po-
EN-, !" Four Years DID," illus ira ted by eight
of Miss Ledyard's delightful pictures. There
are also poems by Celia Thaxter, Elizabeth
Akers Allen, and others. Prof. Rattary
contributes useful article on the microscope,
and Fanny Roper Feudge tells about some
miniature vessels, built by great men. That
excellent story, "Nimpo's Troubles, }" comes
to conclusion; j. T. Trowbridge's east

Notes from the Capital.

Club, Clubs, Clubbing, Club6ed!
A club, my dear Townsfolks "Afar," so
dubbed the mind Of an old friend Of mine
here to club out Of it, an essay for its own
peculiar use last week and !, out of pure
love for him, being compelled to aid. not in
the thinking, but in the keeping of him
awake o'nights, while he wrote, that for me,
Not sound has been heard nor joyous note,
Since.with his essay to the club he hurried +;
And pledged as was for all that he wrote,
I've been wonderfully fluttered and Hurried.
So my pen, despite all efforts to the con-
trary, would only make for you this little
picture.
1t is little winter scene, and but triae
in itself, at which critics and scholars may
laugh; yet beg you will, for my sake, my
dear Townsfolks "Afar," frame it, aud hang
it up in your best room for next winter and
all the winters that shall be spared to you.
only hope the ineaaceably sad impress
that has been made upon me will not be
made upon you by
The Beggar Girl.
As went from home one wintry morning,
The winds were fierce and it was storming
A little stranger, wan and wild,
Cried, Give, oh! give, beggar child!
I, without grudging, without boarding,
Gave whate'er my purse af(ording,
Received in return a mouruful smile;
Twas the thanks Of beggar child.
I soon, amidst my business, moving
Buying, selling, Tending, proving,
As is the custom of the world,
Forgot the little beggar girl.
At night sat by my fire weary;
All without was dark and dreary;
The bleak winds in perfect whirl;
And then required the beggar girl.
Fond sleep my heavy eyes refusing,
fell into solemn mnMggYE
Over the GOODNESS Of the world
And trials Of the beggar girl.
My thoughts still onward, onward feeting
Sorrows, suherings, pleasures meeting
In their swift flight round the world;
Returning, meet the beggar girl.
