BEAUTIFUL DREAMERs WHO Won

BEAUTIFUL DREAMERs WHO Won't
AwAkE.-A dispatch from Cohoes, N.
Y, tells of two factory girls, named
Devrel, who have been lying IN their
room in letnargic state for ten days.
The case has attracted the attention of
medical men, who are watching its re-
suit with great interest. The girls are
to all appearance in a natural and
healthful sleep. Food is forced into
their stomachs by artificial means. The
sleepers are sixteen and twenty years OF
age,

The Speech Of Mr. Wheeler, the re-
publican nominee for VicesPresident,
made at St, Adams, Vt. is rather sur
prsing in its tone and character to both
friends and foes. He slobDered fawn-
ingly all over Plymouth Rock, which
might be excusable in mere Tolitl
clan iu the locality where he spoke,
but the revilement of the South which
he INDUCED, declaring that the North
must regard the South with the same
feeling that it did ten years ago, was
not excusable, and was quite in con-
trast with the temperate and conserva
tive spirit that he showed formerly
towards that section, and by which the
adoption of his compromise in regard
to Louisiana was brought about The
Philadelphia Telegraph, an Independent
sort of republican journal, says of the
Wheeler speech that it was an appeal
to the passions engendered by the civil
war, while it left untouched the vital
issues of reform and retrenchment upon
which the present campaign is really
being fought, and upon which it will
certainly be decided. Mr.. Wheeler
waved the bloody shirt before his St.
Adams audience with all the vigor he
was capable of, but his performance fell
so far short of those in which Senator
Morton and some other prominent
politicians are in the habit of INDUCING,
that it can only be accounted as weak,
a very weak, imitation. In hne, the
speech was offensive in substance and
platitudinous in manner, and was utterly
unworthy of man of Mr.. Wheelers
reputation and standing, and was particu
larly unworthy Of the candidate of a
great party for the second office under
the government and of possible Pres
ident of the United States.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.

BELGRADE, August 24.-Servian
bulletins announce the cessation of the
conflict at Alexinatz after the retreat of
the Turks this morning.
LONDON, August 25--The Standard s
correspondent at Belgrade telegraphs
as follows: "Dospite flaming accounts
of battles around Alexinatz I under,
stand, on good authority, that the
fights have beer. merely outpost affairs
The Turks are steadily advancing, but
A!exinatz can only be taken with i'm
nense loss.
COMBINED MOVEMENTS AGA1NsT THE
LONDON, Aug. 24-The Times Wen,
ma dispatch explains that Servias delay
in accepting the good Offices offered by
all the powers at England's initiative is
occasioned by the remonstrances of
Montenegro, who fears being exposed
to the whole force of Turkey in the
event of Servia concluding separate
peace. A compromise has, conse-
quently, been arranged in accordance
with which Servia makes one more
effort, in which Montenegro will Cos
operate. This explains the sudden
march of the Prince of Montenegro to-
wards Kalasdin, where he will unite
with the forces under his brother-in-
law, Vukovics, with the intention of
attacking the Turks about Sienitza in
conjunction with the Seryian force in
the same neighborhood.

SHELBY DEPOT.
The Temperance ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
by Leading Lights of the Order
Grand Barbecue.

From an Occasional Correspondent OF the
Appeal
SHELBY DEPOT, August % I just
want to say to your readers that the good
people around Shelby Depot are wide
awake on the subject OF temperance. On
last Saturday their lodge, numbering
about one hundred, gave a splendid pic
mic. An immense crowd OF people as
sembled. The first address was by r ".
R. l. M'E'ree, Of Wythe Depot. He
certainly made the best effort Ii has ever
been my lot to hear. 1t reminded one
Of the old. time lectures, when eloquent
men made it business to lecture over
the country. His speech was sometimes
eloquent, sometimes pathetic, drawing
tesrs, and 80 full Of humor that the vast
crowd roared with laughter. This gen.
tleman Certainly has no superior as
popular temperance lecturer, and l
think the order could do no better than
employ him to travel as a lecturing mis-.
sionsry. will ssy that If any lodge or
picnic wants an interesting, telling and
effectual speech on temperance, they
should send for this talented orator.
Colonel Bsrto, OF Bartlett, followed with
a short but telling speech. The colonePs
old friends land ne has host will re.
joce to hear that he has quit his tea
Next thing in order was bountiful din.
ner-bar0ecue, cakes, pies, custsrds and
an ample supply Of everything good,
such as that people know how to get up.
II any one went away hungry i. was be-
cause he was too muIish to parts Ike.
Prof. Thompson, Of Hickory Wythe,
spoke after dinner. Unfortunately his
Grafton was in manuscript and delivered
at an unfortunate hour. People will not
listen to speech just after dinner. This
excellent Grafton deserved more atten.
tive hearing. Df. Maddocks finished
up in an hours speech. 1t was strong,
sledge. hammer, srkumenlative eff ut
that cannot be surpassed. AS a public
speaker the doctor has but few peers,
fewer st psriors, in any field, from the
pulpit down to the stump. King Alec.
hoi will be forced to strike his coiors at
Shelby Depot. LOCKER ON.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH.

ONCE MORE UNTO TIL bkEA' m
There IL DO Safe where more can be
gained by a most active, determined
and vigorous campaign than in Tennes
see. Her strength is very great, our pee
pie are homogeneous and patriotic, and
/ we have 4 multitude Of able men whose
Efforts would not only unite, but inspire
our people with an enthusiasm which
will rally every Democrat on the day OF
election. Never sgain in Tennessee
will there bs such an opportunity for the
highest usefulness ffsred to our public
speakers as now. Never were such vitsl
issues thrust upon the people before, and
never were the efforts of our leaders
more needed than at present in every
county Of the State. 1t will be seen
from the list OF appointments published
in the APPEAL that Governor Ishsm G.
Harris has buckled on the sTmor, and
like 8 veteran knight with SCARED
shield, he calls ueon those who have 30
often followed his successful lead to join
him in crusade upon Rsdicslism. Gov.
erner Harris will canvass every part OF
the State. His speech at Columbia
few evenings since is represented rs one
OF the graDdest efforts Of his life. We are
Uold that there was not 8 man present
who did not feel his pulse quicken as he
listened to the speakers eloquent, patti
otto and sia.esmsnlike appeal for frater-
nifty, nationality OF brotherhCod, and TO
bis triu nphant defense Of hisname from
cslumny. Governor Harris rose TO
speak amid the plaudits of q vast multi
tude OF frienGs, and when with kindling
fire and Il ming words, he pleaded for
peace, FIR reform, and vindicated his
name from Islander, the people broke
forth in leu J, enthusiastic applause. The
ideas that throbbed in his own heart
were burnt into the brain Of the people.
Wherever Governor Harris speaks, the
people will lu,n out to hear him. The
people Of Tennessee have often honored
this distinguished son, and they felt no
particular interest in him until they saw
the dastsrdIy attempt to blaeken his
spotless reputation. In order to compass
his ruin, his footsteps have been logged
by sleuth hounds, who, SO they accom-.
plish their purpose, care not whether
truth be laid PROSTATE or fAlsehood made
transparent These ISLANDERS can no more
iDjure G Jvornor Harris than an artillery
battery of mud can batter down the
walled strength of mighty city. These
wretched calumnies will be exposed by
Governor Harris in his speeches, and
the people he has so long served should
greet him at all his appointments with
q large audience. 4
