The address of the chief of the Choctaws
to the National Council gives unmistakable
evidence of the rapid advancement of that
tribe in civilization. Schools and churches,
workshops and factories beautify and enliven
the broad and cultivated plains which are set
apart as their permanent home. A few such
facts as these more than counterbalance the
innumerable and scurrilous assaults which
have been made upon the peace policy as ad-
ministered by the Indian Bureau.

EDITORS APPEAL-I was forcibly
reminded Of the fitness Of the above
quotation by the communication of your
youthful correspondent, in his "Ten
Minutes Sermon to Young Ladies'"
contained in the APPEAL of Tues
day. He need not have signed
himself "Young Man." for that
fact was very evident from the
verdancy Of his ideas on a subject, as to
which, it seems, he has not fully in
formed himself. The circle OF his fe-
male acquaintance must be extremely
contracted if they all come under the
head Of "wasp-Waisted, doll-dressed,
music.murdering, etc. He has our
sympathy, indeed, if his lot is cast
among such "consumpIive, martyr
lied" set. Come to the front, young
man, change your visiting list, extend
your circle 10 the suburbs, where,
We assure you, you will find a
lady TO your taste. But, Il very pal
tlcular as regards COOKS, by making ap-
plicstiOn to the Ladies' Christian asso-
citation, you may hire one 10 suit even
your fsstidious taste. To be so well
informed in regard to the habits Of the
young ladies, one would suppose you
knew them all. AS you criticise our sex
SO freely and knowingly, you must, by
comparison, be uneXceptiOnable as &
specimen Of your own. You belong,
doubtless, to the Young Mems Christian
association, you never frequent billiard
saloons, you never drink saltwater
dashed, you never lounge en- street cor
Dersi oh! no, you are never guilty of
any OF these frailties. Throw away
that cigar; leave that glass Of beer un-
touched, and take off those tight boots,
and ''runn out to - street, and we
can show you the lady cook, who, hav-
ing msrshalled the pots and kettles into
order for the family service, will don her
white muslin and entertain even you,
as severe critic as you are. Next time,
"be sure you are right, then go ahead"
for we are willing to listen when you
give both sides OF question, but are not
willing when you only give what you
know. CHATTER-BOX,

ADDRESS OF MISS FANNY LITTIG,
The Memphis Bethel is the friend OF
the children. 1t helps them to build
Alright their lives ami their characters;
to build them upon the sure and endur.
ing foundations of rectitude, purity,
temperance, patience, charity, faith and
devotion; in other words, to build them
upon the Lord Jesus Christ as q corner
stone. Now that the Bethel itself is to
have a new and distinctive building of
it's own, we, thelittle builders, are proud
and happy to attend and assist in its
erection, for the Bethel has built itself
into Our hearts. With grateful thanks
to the Oliver Of Good, and in token Of our
appreciation of all that the Bethel has
done for us, we lay to-day this corner
stone. Not as a mere empty ceremony,
but that it may stand here, ever as 3
part OF the foundation of this building.
It is an emblem of that grand Corner
stone upon which the children build
under the teachings of tre Bethel; upon
il the Bethel itself is built. Other stone
can no man lay, and upon alone every
one must build who would build wisely
and for eternity.
The children Of the Bethel watched
with eager interest the placing of the
box anu the covering of it by the
masons, and listened earnestly to the
words OF their Comrade. After her ad-
dress, Rev. DR.. Stsinback, Of the Court

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
Another Unfortunate Victim Of the
BetrayeE's Arts, Weary of Life,
Attempts 20 Drown Herself
fn-BsyOu Gay OsO.

Ella Hawkins, an unfortunate wo-
m IN, residing on Union street, near the
B you Gayoso bridge, attempted to
DIR OWn herself in that stream about ten
o'clock last night. Leaving her room
the unfortunate creature proceeded to
the bank Of the bayou and commenced
crying. Her distress caused several
women to approach her, but they failed
to induce her to return home, II indeed
her little room may be so termed. Al
ter indulging in fit OF weeping for
some time she asked two Of her female
friends if t hey wanted her earrings and
breast-pins, but received no reply.
Thereupon she gave them to negre
woman named Ssllie, and then
PLUNGED INTO THE BAYOU.
The negro woman, seeing her in the
water, gave the alarm, and fortunately
for the unhappy woman, two negro
men, who CHANGED t. be passiIg along
Union street, heard the call for help and
FASTENED TO the place, whence they pro-
ceedel. Withouta moments loss of time
they rushed into the bayou and by the
aid of the gaslight discovered the almost
lifeless form of Ella Hawkins, whom
they seized and carried to the bank.
She was unconscious at first, but soon
revived and was taken TO her room, near
by. Officer Jenny, hearing OF the affair,
proceeded to the house, and feeling as
sured that she was determined to end
Der life, made her put on dry garments,
and then conveyed her to the Adams
street statiOn-house. At one O'Clock
this morning reporter of the APPEAL
held an interview with the
WOMAN IN CELL NO. SEVEN.
for the purpose Of ascertaining the rea-
sons that induced her to attempt suicide.
From what he could learn it seems that
a young man, who, in fast circles is
known as "Coal-Oil Charlie" had
shared her company, but lately deserted
her for the pleasure of other women
more congenial. This. with:Other acts
which Ella Hawkins refused to make
public, impelled her to attempt SELF
destruction. She is quite retiscent, and
says that
SHE WANTS TO DIE,
as she is nothing more than helpless
and unpitied woman. During the inter-
view she wept bitterly, and seemed to be
very much affected that Charlie had
left her for the society Of some other
woman. She declares that she is utterly
unconcerned as to her future, as she re-
allies that there is no means by which
she can reform and lead pure life, and
no one to give her assistance.
She is young, rather prepossessing,
HER CONDITION
is to be deplored, for in addition to what
she is willing to tell, there seems to be
something Of more serious character
preying upon her mind. She will be
brought before the recorder this morn
ing to answer the charge of "misde-
meanor," generic term for small often
ses, but one which, in the police nomen-
clature Of Memphis, is applied to felonies
with an indiscrimination hi6e 0usly mys-
FERROUS. AS there is no punishment for
such charge, the unfortunate woman
will, doubtless, be discharged, with
the Injunction, "Go thou and sin no
more, nor misdemeanor again."

evidence was given. The defendant, it
is generally said, will rely upon the al
legged fact that he, as agent for MIS- VIII
kins, had psyed off certain accounts Of
Hendrix, M'Nsbb & Co, and was there
fore entitled to their assets as her agent.
As stated in yesterdays APPEAL, ques
tions Of civil law are involved in this
case, and will be argued by the counsel.
OF course public expectation runs high,
and great interest is aroused as to the
termination Of the affair, concerning
which there is much speculation.

BIoWinR Up a Hen.

San Rafael (Cal.) Herald
A worthy citizen Of Bolinss township
had some trouble some days since with
one Of his hens. Biddy wanted to hatch
out young brood, and he was deter
mined that she should not. He put her
under a barrel, ducked her st the pump,
threw her into the air, Snd reasoned with
her, but in splte of al this she would
persist in going back to her nest. FIJI
lallY, he placed heated porcelain egg
under her, but she skipped about until it
cooled, and then she returned and sat on
it with an air OF having resOlutely re-
solved "to do or die The owner OF the
hen as resoluteiy determined that he
would get her eff. He placed quantity
OF gunpOwdeT under the nest, ard laid q
slow match leading from the hen-hOuse
to the yard. AS soon as he saw her
slfely on the nest, he went into the
Kitchen to get g light. Meanwhile
his good wife entered the hennery
in quest OF eggs, and to asCeT-
tain if that idiOtfc chicken was setting
yet. Mr.. - returned from the kitch-
en- with brand Of fire, applied it to the
train, and in a few minutes there was
fearful explosion; q second later his wife
emerged from the door OF the hen-hOuse
with her mouth full of feathers, her hair
full of burning straw and warm blood,
and an assortment Of drumsticks, giZ-
yards, and claws distributed around her
person, She gszed moment, them
made dash at her husbaud-With what
result we do not know; but we met him
8 few days thereafter with piece ~
cOurtplaster on his nose and q look of
subsection in his eyes. He informed US
cOnfidentially that the next time g hen
OF his wanted to set, she might do so

before he would bother himself about her.

SARDIs, July 21.-Your correspondents
FROM other portions of Mississippi and
from Tennessee are giving you such
bright and glorious accounts of the Sgrl-
cultural outlook, that l presume no
doubt remains in the minds Of any as to
the prospects ahead. What others have
written in relation to other sections Of
the State will apply equally to this. l
do not think | have ever seen such corn
in the State as we have at the present
time; and that too, not in spots. but sll
around everywhere. This splendid
showing follows q fine crop Of wheat, Of
which there is yet good deal retained
in the country, and the cotton is not be-
hind the cereals, SO far, nor will it be at
the harvest time, unless damaged by too
much rain from now on, or by some
other disaster, to too many Of which this
crop is unfortunately subject. Our peo-
pie are in much better condition, too,
than they were twelve months ago, be-
ing less in debt, and the country is in
every way better off than it has been,
probably, since the war; and if the pres
ent promise is realized, we will be in
still better condition twelve months
hence than we are now, for we will have
plenty of bread, some meat and some
money, and not much debt. IF. S.
