Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1879-03-06

| Of 1878. The hands of women have placed
| these offerings on the graves OF the loved and
( lost Men who are engrossed IN business
| forget these tributes to departed worth.
/ With women it Is sentiment which lasts,
I with men IL is a practical offering that fades
! away with time. The double nature, or
| separate nature OF humanity which develops
/ in the sexes, here exhibits itself.
As may be said OF the Tennessee legis-
/ lature. II is SAID Of the North Carolina legis-
| lature by the Raleigh IN. c. NeIcs:
And the member never fitting, still is sitting still
Passing laws the like Of which never saw be-
And his eyes have all the seeming OF fellow who is
schemlng
Things of which his folks are never dreaming IN
rustic lore

working all the time, lengthenlng the road

portion completed. The engineer Is con-
ductor, freight agent, collector and general
superintendent of the tram while on duty.
The president does the work Of three or four
men, and the book-keeper is freIgbt-receiver,
shipper and accountant.

The Atlanta Constitution, of the fourth,
says: The many friends of General Joseph
h. Johnston are pleased to see him IN At
la1ta. He Is the senior partner of the insur-
ance firm OF J. Z. Johnston i Co., which does
q business extending all over the entire south.
In the management of these general agencies
the general travels over the entire south.
We are pleased that his business has brought
him to Atlanta and will keep him here,
probably, couple of weeks. Few men are
so generally beloved by the people of Georgia
as he. His removal to Virginia, his old
home, was against the protest of hosts of
November TO represent the Richmond district
in congress. The general IS well preserved.
His gait is graceful and firm, and his eye
clear and piercing. We trust that there are
yet many Roodly years before him."
Not even in heaven is there a resting
place for the almord-eyed sons Of the Orient,
who by the name Chin-aise are giving so
much trouble to the Anglo-Saxon- Celtic race
On the Pacific coast. The SomeryIlle Journal
gives the facts in this verse:
dreamed stood at the gate OF heaven,
And Peter was weeping there;
why do you weep?' asked: II thought
That heaven was free from care
81 weep he said, because some friends
OF mine are going away;
Many have been here since l came,
But longer they cannot stay"
"a he "a fiG nj nzlEn
Tell me, sir, If you pleaser
These friends Of mine replied the saint,
Are the almOnd-eyed Chinese,
But man named Kearney died last night
And came up from down below,
And now since he has got into heaven,
He says: The Chinese must go? "
Whether the business people of Mem
phis have any rights the average mule-driver
IS bound to respect, Is one OF the questions
the commissioners will have to decide at no
distant day. TIE authorities have given Or
ders that droves OF mules must not pass
through Main or Second streets, but the |
mules don't care for the order, and their at |
PENDANTS have to keep up with the mules, |
even if it should prove the destruction of all |
the people on the streets. Yesterday morn |
ing, about ten o'clock, number Of mules |
went down Second street at full speed, fright |
ening people as well as the equines attached to !
delivery wagons. The mule attached to Mr.. |
Signiago's wagon ran down Second street |
with the drover's mules, and the hustling |
about of people to avoid the animals was !
very lively for a short time. A policeman |
being sent to the stable about the matter, |
was informed that the mules, or the horses |
they were expected to follow, "broke loose. |
and took Second street instead of Third. Of !
course; the festive mule must take a run |
through the principal streets at ten o'clock |
in the morning, just TO see who is cut. But |
this popularity Of the animal did not render |
it necessary that the drivers should ride back |
to Mr. SIgniago's and abuse him, and use |
language for which they ought to be sent to |
the island. The failure to have a warrant |
issued for their arrest does not lessen the |
outrage, nor will the bullying disposition |
manifested by them prevent people thinking |
that the driving of loose mules ought to be |
suppressed.
