lEMPIIIS APPEAL
Now MBER "a, 1878
SUNDAY, 80
SIEmPaIs ABROAD.

A city situated in the heart of rich
country and possessing every natural advan-
tage cannot be destroyed by epidemics. If
this were SO New Orleans would have been
a bowling wilderness" fifty years ago, and
Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, Norfolk, and
even Philadelphia would have been depopu-
lated, as they have often been visit
ed by the most fearful epidemics. Misfor-
tunes may entail upon the most prosperous
city temporary injury. But if it be made up
OF energetic citizens, instead of setting down
and whining over losses they will rise to new
efforts to prevent a return of the evils that
have overtaken them. The spirit which the
people Of Memphis have manifested during
the past three weeks has done much toward
restoring its prosperity. 1t shows to the
world that they appreciate their
natural advantage, that they have
confidence in the future Of Memphis
which nothing can shake, and the question
on all lips is not how to get away, but how
can w prevent return Of similar misfor-
tunes, and thus push forward our city to that
greatness which she is destined to achieve.
Tne faith of the surrounding country
in the future of Memphis is mistaken. The
affections of our friends cluster around our
city stronger than ever before. As another
evidence Of the position which Memphis oc-
cupies in that section of country contrIbutary
to this great emporium of the south, we give
the following extract from the Iuka Miss
Mirror:
Memphis was looked upon during the prevalence
OF the yeOW-feyeT az a doomed city, It's great COM
TAI interests Destroyed beyond all Goubt, and
preparations made By some OF its competi. ors 10
build No an extensive trade throughout the lower
Mississippi valley. But II seems the Bluff Lity has
once more arose TO its Clden-time fame, and is now
receiving one OF the largest and most extensive
trades it has ever before controlled. The merchants
along the Memphis aud Charleston road are Teceiy
Ing their supplies from Memphis and feel that 1t is
duty theg { home indus ~, capital and enter
prise TO dice more see t business OF the city OF
Memphis IN its pristine glOr.. Our interests are
Identical with those of Mem his, and We can see nc
reason why DDS Of all descriptions cannot be pur
chased IN tuat market TO as great advantage as IN
northern an eastern markets. As a cotton market
Memphis has be, ONE quite notorious, and there is
no doubt but IN tne near future by strict sanitary
laws and "a good system of sewerage to protect heI
people from epiJemics, she Will become one among
the largest commercial cities in the west.

SPEAKER RANDALL AND THE
ROIEH

The New York Tribune notes the unanim-
lty of southern sentiment, as expressed by the
press, in favor OF Speaker Randall's election
to the char OF the forty-sixth congress. 1t
REQUIRED the blind and venomous partisan
ship of that journal to discover anything re-
markabe in this feeling of the southern peo-
pie. Mr.. Randall has administered his high
Office with credit to himself and to the party
which conferred it, and we have as yet heard
of but one-and that very Indifferent one
argument against his reelection. 1t is said
that Nc. Rand3ll's absence from the floor has
not been compensated for by the appearance
of any equally able leader, and that he is
more needed there thsn in the chair. While
we do not believe Mr.. Randall's place can be
readily filed on the floor, we do not think
the fact will be regarded by the people
generally as furnishing any decent excuse
for his degradation from a higher pest which
ne has filed worthily, and in which an in
ferior or an inexperienced man might fail, to
the great disgrace and Injury of the party.
With the prestige of previous success, ex-
perienc5, special training, and pre-emlnent
fitness il his favor, the speaker ought not to
encounter any serious opposition to his re-
election. The southern people have their
own reasons-and the Tribune need not look
far to find them-for giving Mr.. Randall
their cordial, and now, hanks to him as
much as to any other man, their powerful
support. Through many dark and weari-
some years the present speaker stood in the
front rank of The small Democratic minority
IN congress to whose devoted galantry we
owe our restoration to the rights OF Ameri-
can citizenship, and we have not forgotten,
bit on the contrary, we do most gratefully
remember, that it was mainly Mr.. Ran
dalt's individual exerhons, pluck, par
lamentary skill and unparalleled phys
ical endurance that prevented the
passage of the Infamous force bill by the
forty-third Congress. Had that bill passed,
the national success Of the Democratic party,
and the restoration Of the south would have
been indefinitely postponed, and our future
would have been as barren of light or hope
as that OF the subjects OF ar Asiaiic despotism.
Wden we recall the fate from which we were
rescued by the faithful band of northern
Democrats and their intrepid leaders, it is
only natural that our votes should 90 with
our feelings. When to these obvious con-
siderations is added the other, that Mr.. Ran
dali IS the father Of the Democratic system of
retrenchment, economy and reform-the
platform upon which we carried the last
Presidential election, and upon which alone
we can hope 10 carry the next-the import
ance of his reelection becomes too apparent
for discussion. he may safely be set down
as The speaker Of the torty-six congress, and
fact us opponents, if any there shall be, will
yAly render Themselves personally ridiculous.

Vet Another Arctic Expeditton

New York Bulletin: "a fact that seems
to have escaped general attention is the
leaving of party of explorers from Indian
apolls for the North Pole. They intend to
proceed to the Red river of the north aud
descend said river as far as Pembina. Their
a small steamer will carry the exploring
party as far north as navigation will permit.
They will then proceed as best they can to
Fort ork, on the west side of Hudson bay,
in about ffty-eight degrees north LATITUDE.
At this point they will put their boats to-
north as eighty degrees before going into
winter quarters. The governor general, of
Canada, it is understood, has received in
structions from the home government In
Great Britain to aid the expedition in every
possible way. A band of fifty tried Esqui-
maux trappers and fishermen are engaged to
accompany the explorers, thoroughly equip
ped for the voyage, with trained dogs,
sledpes reindeer etc ~

WADE HAMPTON FOR U. q. SEN.
ATOR

The legislature of South Carolina is over
whelmingly Democratic. The next session,
which convenes in a few weeks, will be called
upon to elect United States senator to sue
coed that sweet scented Republican, J. ].
Patterson, now under indictment for various
crimes. Public sentiment in South Carolina,
seems to point to Governor Wade Hampton
as the man. Governor Hampton, perhaps as
much as any man in the south, represents
the southern people in politics and Id all their
aspirations and characteristics, and they
would be rejoiced to see him IN the senate.
In bringing forward the name of Governor
Hampton as a candidate for United States
senator, the Charleston NeioS and Courier
says:
On the second Tuesday after meeting and organ
iZing the general assembly Will proceed to elect
senator OF the United States for tie term beginning
on March 4, 1879. For this exalted position no
e.nor Wade Hampton The hope and expectation
of the State Is that he Will be, he deserves.
G S ne 10 e dv h bI p0S d ho w h b be
served so faithfully and we'll This We with the
full Knowledge that many thoughtful citizens deem
II exceedingly important that Governor Hampton
should remain In the executive chair until the
piraton of the term or Two years for viii h he has
been elected. IN this opinion we do not concur.
We appreciate the commanding influence of Gov
ernor Ham ton in South Carolina but we cannot adj
nit hat his Influence will be less ned by his trans
latlOn 10 the sena e. The oyershadOwing
reason is this Within the state the fght is IRON.
Upon the course Of the Fedora government it de-
ponds whether the contest shall be renewed. Con-
gress Is therefore the allmpoTant factlr in polit
cal calculations The senate. after March 4, 1879
will have democratic majority. By the sagacIty
prudence and firmneSs of the senate will be deter
mined the character of the canvass for President in
1880, the result OF the canvass and election and the
power for evil of the new President fin case that the
Republican candidate shall be legally elected. 1t
a time when the wisest and truess Americans shOulC
be sent to the senate and no single senator d.

| Tina from as mucn hahn, as Governor Wade Hamp
ton To the State to the south, to the Union Ow,

and whom the whole Union respects. Unless this bt

The Cattle of the Plains.

Prairie Farmer: "To show the growing
importance of the cattle of the great plains
and the mountain region beyond, acsessmens
returns OF the present year give the number
six hundred and fifty thousand head; Colo
RADIO, FIVE hundred and fifty thousand; Utah,
three hundred and fifty thousand; Washing
ton Territory, two hundred thousand; Ore
gon, Que hundred and seventy FIVE thousand.
1t is estimated that Texas has probably more
than Eve million head. 1t will be bat short
time befo:e the State and Territories named
will equal the whole amount of those figures
added together. The quality of beef when
made fat is superiorI SO there is no danger
of dearth of cattle. The great corn zone
of the west will feed the surplus fat, so that
as means Of ocean transit are rendered more
and more available, we can, as the Prairie
Farmer has hitherto remarked, supply
Great Britain and the continent with all they
may need"

THE PUBLIC HEALTH eUEsTIoN.

The southern press seems to have lost
sight of every thing else in an ardent discus
sion of the best means for promoting the
public health. The Jackson Miss Clar-
ion, a paper always first and foremost in
support OF every measure, having for its OBJ
jecL the interest Of the south, says:
The State OF Mississippi cannot afford 10 SIT down
suplnely to brood over the loss Of human lie and
the destruction OF material interests caused by the
late epidemic, and take 10 care OF the future. II

The scribe wardly groaned.
Etiquette forbade an abrupt retreat !;

once more made their appearance.
Finally their last cup of tea disap-

his cabin, returning in second with
two huge boxes of sweets. Every

and sucked, and crunched, and
talked, and handed photographs

At last, to the scribe's infinite
relief, the captain gave his signal
that the dinner was over by rising
from the table. The scribe looked at
his watch again, and broke into
profuse perspiration. That dinner
had lasted just two hours and
quarter and yet the Russian officers
dine this wise every day in the year.

The HERALD.



"Whsn was youhg," said cousin Tom.
At the old house that I came from
A honeysuckle used to grow
That clambered round the portico
How sweetly. remember well,
Its yellow blossoms used to smell;
And how, one simmer in the shafs.
Their great gray nest the hornets made.
"Around the rooms they buzziag flew,
And wandered all The garden through,
And always knew precisely where
Grew sweetest plum and choicest pear,
With their drill drones and cruel stings,
They seemed such idle. spitefnl things.
To drive them off said one day,
I'll tear their ugly nest awayy
No, Tom,' my mother said, no, no
Yon must not think of doing SO /;
You foolish boy, tits never best
To NEEDLE with hornets nest.
"Her good advice away was thrown.
The moment that was alone
/ climbed and hold Of it caught
To pull il down; when quick as thought
Out few the hornets, great and small,
And full of fury, one and all;
About my neck and face they chung,
Nose, eyelids, ears and mouth they stang,
| tried to beat them off in vain,
And shrieked aloud in fright and pain
The startled household hurried out
What could the outcry be aboutp
Ny burning, smarting hands they swathed
With linen cloths and gently bathed
My swollen face and throbbing head,
And laid me tenderly in bed
And then my mother talked vita me
You've been naughty boy said she;
Il told you that it was not best
To NEEDLE with hornets nest
"But all yonr pain TO good viii turn
II you will now a lesson learn,
And keep it till you older grow,
Whenever you may chance to go
To aid the wronged, to help the weak,
One should not be afraid TO speak;
But every wise and prudent man
Keeps out of quarrels if he can,
For In this world it's never best
To NEEDLE with hornets nest"

In order to guard against results utterly

that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the

produces indigestion; headaches ensue and
