How the German Government
Looks After the FfnAueea-

A Berlin letter to lions Herald has
the following: Every body has implicit
confidence in the German rulers at Ber-
lin. Not a cent Of money is misappro-
priated; the largest military establish
ment in the world is managed without
q trace of corruption. In the summer
Of 1873, about 10000 troops met in and
about Hanover for drill. Their board
and lodging was engaged and paid for
by government officials; but, the ac-
commodations not being thought sufi.
cient, private arrangements we're fire..
quently made, by which the soldiers
supplied themselves with many extras.
A provision dealer was engaged to &C.
company 100 men to a small village,
the bargain being that he should have
bis board and lodging free, besides the
profits on what he sold. The soldiers
paid, every day, out of their W pock-
cts for his board and lodging; but, one
evening, a soldier (who is now q student
in Gottihgen, and told me the story for
got to pay a half groschen Ia little over
one cent, and so it was charged to the
government and paid by the officials in
Hanover. The discrepancy, however,
was detected in Berlin. and an explana-
ton required. Ny friend, the student,
Immediately sent the half groschen to
the village, and wrote to Hanover, say
ing, that he had forgotten to pay, but
that the matter was all right now. In the
course OF tie next summer he received
a long communication from Berlin,
charging that the payment of the half
groschen by a private person only made
the matter worse. A full and complete
explanation was required from the of.
ficers Of the regiment.

We End the following good story in q

ing about to make bis annual visitation,
sent word to o certain ourate, whose

at the same time requesting hat he

PRsrH, October 6.-The Turks have
again taken the offensive, and Osmar
Pasha has left Saitscha and moved up
the valley Of the Timak in the direction
Of Knjusavaiz. The Turks have also
collected sixteen battalions at Babing'

D1D 1T WITH his LIrrLE PISTOL.

Achilles retires, sulking, to his tent in
Humphreys, Porter did it with his little
pistol-Lebdnon Herald.
This Democratic paper seems to
rather exult over the pistol episode
as a smart thing. This is a new
way Of getting rid of an opponent
that we cannot approve, even when
adopted by a Democratic Governor.
1t is a little singular that the Dem
cratic press Of the State, at least a
number Of papers, seem to approve
Of the pistol as a factor in politics
just because a political favorite hap
pened to resort to its use. Cover
nor Porter's version Of the affair
did not help the matter in the least
He denounced Thomas, a man ten
or fifteen years his senior, as a liar
and Thomas had to stand and take
it, because Porter had a pistol il
his hand, or where he could La
his hand on it. If Brownlow, O
Stokes, or Freeman, or Barbour
Lewis, or any prominent Republican
were to do this we would condemn
it as a bad example, contrary to tn,
spirit, if not the letter, of the law
and prejudical to public peace ant
good morals. The case is not bel
tered when it occurs within tn
Democratic party. We have al
overwhelming majority in thi
State, and have the moral and phys
ical power to protect every citizeI
from the highest to the lowest in tn
rights Of person and property. Pc.

There is nothing a young unmarried
man likes better than to 60 to a dinner at
the house Of q friend and to be asked to-
carve the turkey. He never carved q
turkey in his life, and with an old maid
on one side Of him, watching him closely,
and on the other side a fair girl for
whom be has a tenderness, he feels en-
barrassed when he begins. First, be
pushes the knife down toward one of the
thighjoints. He cant find the joint,
and he plunges the knife around in
search Of il until he mokes mince meat
out Of the whole quarter Of the fowl.
Then he sharpens his kuife and tackles
it again. At last, while making q terrific
dig, he hits the joint suddenly, and the
leg flies into the maiden lady's lap, while
her dress front is covered with a shower
Of stufing. Then he goes for the other
leg, and when the young lady tells him
he looks warm, the weather seems to him
suddenly to become 400 degrees warner.
This leg he finally pulls loose with his
fingers. He lays it on the edge of the
plate, aud while be is hacking at the
wing be gradually pushes the leg over on
the clean table cloth, end when he hicks
it up it slips from his hand into the
gravy dish and splashes the gravy around
for sig square gsras. Iqst as be has
made up his mind thst tie turkey has no
joints to its wings, the host asks him II
he thinks the Indians can really be civ.
iljgsdf The girl ueEt Ia him laughs,
aud he says he will explain bis views
upon the subject after dinner. Then be
sops his brow with his handkerchief
and presses the turkey SO hard with tbs
fork that it slides or the dish azd upsels
a goblet Of water on the girl next to him.
HesrlY frantic, be goqgeG ayay again a
Ii wigs, ggts' them oil in q mutlieted
condition, and Olga into the breast
Before be can cut any of, the host asks
him why be don't help out the turkey
Bewiliered, he puts both legs on a plate
and hands them "a the maiden lady, ans
then helps the young girl to q plateful 0
stuling, and while taking her plate il
return knocks over the gravy'diah.

his numerous &cQaaintAncsS He

.LxDsEs Sad was connected with
the Appeal about one year in the
same capacity, BE became editor
aud proprietor Of the Grenada Sem
6nel about the year 1865, and mar
red there. but was always among
friends when he came to Memphis
Genial, polished and courteous, he
was universally esteemed and re-
speeted. He was devoted to his
profession as a journalist and to lit
erature, and at times wrote the most
charming poetry, some Of which
has been incorporated into collec-
tons issued in book form. For a
considerable time he was italian
Consul in this city, a position of
honor rather than emolument.
While devoted to the land Of his
adoption, he cherished the fondest
and most sentimental r%ecollections
of his native sunny Italy, to
which he made more than
one visit since he grew up to man
hood. Mr.. SignaigO was, we sup
pose, about forty-fye years old. He
came to Memphis with a theatrical
troupe about the year 1856, and
played juvenile parts with success
Taking a fancy to Memphis he re-
NAMED here and became identified
with the press, and has been wei
and Familiarity known ever since
For the last three years he has been
in declining health, and within the
last few months his mind became
seriously affected. He leaves a wife
and several small children.
