WINONA, MISS.
The Ruthless March OF the Fever has
Not Crushed her Commercial
RpirIt-COmpIfment 10 the
Appeal, Etc.
From an Occasional Correspondent

From an Occasional Correspondents
WINoNA, December 4.-Thinking that a
few words now and then fron this PLACE to
the APPEAL might prove of some interest to
that portion of your readers interested IN
Mississippi affairs, have bethought me of
resumiDg my occasional correspondence.
Winona, like her sister towns, suffered from
the ruthless march of the feVer-fend, but
health has resumed her wonted sway, and,
as result, prosperity flies its busy thrift once
more in town and country. 10 illustrate and
make notable such a gratifying fact, it is bnt
necessary to mention that the great staple
comes to US in such quantities daily as 10
raise high the hope OF bright commercial
future for Winona; already four thousand
bales have been shipped from che depot here.
and we are only On the threshold of the ship
ping season. The merchants are as busy as
the bears and bulls" on change, and,
notwithstanding the moderate price presently
received for their hard won toll, the country
folks trade literally; our merchants, ever
awake to the necessities of their customers,
have laid in heavy and valuable stocks, and
the busy scenes noticeable in their respective
stores indicate a driving and thriving trade.
l have been told by commercial travellers
whose duty it is to take in, as it were, at
glance the condition OF the various
towns in which they sojourn, that Winona
Is certainly In the foreground of prosperity.
1t is matter of much satisfaction to the
numerous friends of the APPEAL hereabouts
that the grand old barometer Of such
healthy public sentiment braved 50 heroic
ally the terrors and trials Of the pestilence
that walked in darkness through the streets
of dear, hospitable Memphis, and came out
untarDished morally and politically; and that
its course may coptInIe upward and onward,
and that its wholesome counsels may still go
forth spreading conservation wherever its
cheering words are read and heard, is the
Fincerest wish of its troop of friends every
where-nowhere more ardentIy felt and ex-
pressed than in this section of Mississippi
and that Memphis, which the APPEAL has
helped so much, alike in cloud and sunshine,
may speedily and healthily rise from the
depths of prostration through which she was
called to struggle for so many sad and mel
ancholy months, is not only the most earnest
and heartfelt desire of those friends of the
APPEAL in this State, but of the good people
IN all sections of our common country, now
more than eyer bound together by links so
tenderly wrought, yet SO strongly rivited, as
never to be broken asunder. DELTA.

Manitoba Lake.

Manitoba lake, which has given name to
the province formed out of the Red river
region, is called alter a small island, whence,
in the stiffness of the night, issue strangely
sweet, mysterious sounds. The Olibway In
dams who dwell in that neighborhood believe
the island to be the home of Manitoba, the
Speaking God, and will not land on or APP
proach it for any consideration, thinking they
would desecrate or profane it, and that they
would meet with some terrible fate for their
impiety. The sound is caused, it has been
ascertained, by the beating of the waves on
the large pebbles along the shore. These,
with fragments of fine-grained, compact
limestone that have fallen from the cliffs
above, are rubbed together by the action of
the water, and give out a tone like that of
distant church bells. The natural music is
heard when the wind blows from the north,
and as it subsidies low, plaintIve notes, re-
sembhDg voices of an invisible choir, are
heard. 1t has been compared to the chant
of the nuns at the Trinita de- Mont in
Rome, with which all travellers are familiar.
The effect is impressive. Tourists have been
awakened at night in the vicinity under the
impression that chimes of bells were ringing
