"The Cnmn,nnion OF aainta. :,

New York Independent: "An almost Idyl-
lie story of christian fellowship Is told In the
Christian IntelHgencer. A Brooklyn gentle
man lost all his property on the famous Black
Friday. One of the family is an inmate OF
the st. Catherine Roman Catholic hospital
in East Brooklyn, and cannot long survive.
Reared a Protestant and not recreant TO bis
fathers faith, he desired the attendance OF
a Protestant Clergyman, who might give him
instruction and baptism. His wish was
promptly and courteously granted. A mes
senger was sent for the Baptist Clergyman,
DR.. j. Hyatt Smith, who came without de-
lay, and was cordially received by the Sister
in charge. In the reception-room he was in
troduced to three ladies, two of them Epis-
copalians and one a Presbyterian. They
were taken to the ward where the sick man
was lying. He was partially deaf, and Mr..
Smith had to speak so loud as to be heard all
over the room. After faithfully preaching to
him the way of salvation through Jesus
Christ, to which responses Of Amen could
be heard from one bed to another, Mr. Smith
explained the office of baptism, and, open
ing the Episcopal prayer-book, read the in
troductory questions IL its form for the SER
vice. The answers being intelligently given,
DIR. Hyatt Smith asked the Sister for bowl
of water, which was brought, with deep
apparent sympathy. Then, for the first time
in his life, the mi1istrant proceeded, by
sprinkling, to baptizs the sick man into the
name of the Holy Trinity. We believe the
angels were glad at the sight

The End Of ibis Log Rolling.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 15.-This morn
inc, Ben Moody, mountaiueer living near
Blowing Rock, in Watauga county, met with
a terrible death while engaged in log rolling.
Log-rollings are often attended with acct
dents, usually of fatal character, owing to
the fact that often the logs have to be rolled
down steep declivities. This process is called
traininN and requires both strength and
skill. 1t was while Ben Moody and Bob
Green were training a log that the former
met his death. They had rolled the log some
distance down the mountain toward the
heap, but when they reached the steepest
part in the route botn men discovered that
they were unable to manage it, and deter
mined to turn it loose. Moody placed his
spike near the center of the log, and told his
companion to leap for his life, and that he
wou follow. Green jumped and cleared the
track OF the log; but, when Moody attempted
to follow, his foot caught in d projecting
root, and the next moment the log passed
over his body Every bone in his body was
broken, and he scarcely breathed when his
companion reached HIM. Moody's conduct

Encouraging Moderation.

A business mems society for the encourage
meDt of moderation in the uss Of intoUcat-
ing liquors has been organized under dis
tlnguished auspices in New York. "a large
meeting was held at ChIckering hall on Fri
day night last, and among the prominent per-
sons in attendance we're Peter Cooper, Thur
low Weed, Rev. Howard Crosby, Rev. o. B.
rockingham, Rev. Henry Hadley and F. B.
Thurber. Rev. Mr.. Hadley, the secretary of
the society, explained the aims and ambitions
of the members. They were convinced that
the advocates OF total abstinence and prohl-
bitonl atttsT trying to carry out their theories
ri century, had not succeeded In checking
the evil of intemperance. Drunkenness, in
stead of diminishing, had increased of late
years, and It was clear to their minds that
some other plan of reformation should be I'M
dertaken. This was why they had organized
the society for the encouragement of moder-
alton. 1t will aim to curb all excuses In the
use of intoxicating liquors, and will expand
its labors among consumers without making

Governor Roy 8eizes his Wine
Glass, Waves the Bloody
Shirt. and Proceeds TO
Crush the New Re-
beIlIOn--In His
Mind.

Philadelphia special to the Cincinnati En-
q1iTer: The Union league was rudely
Jolted out OF the ruts in which It has been
running for the last few years by the reception
to Governor Hoyt, which meant business. At
the last election of the Union league there
was bitter contest nominaly between card
players and anti card players, but really be-
tween members who proposed to hold it up
to the duties for which it was originally or
gained, and those who wanted it to become
merely social club, with an utter disregard
to politics. The latter won, and since then
the bulletin-board has been full of names of
active, Republican politicians, some
of whom have been elected, and some
withdrawn, many of them after due notice
that if their candidacy was pressed, they
would be black balled. Nevertheless. the
election determined the fact that the poll
ticians had working majority, and since
then it has been sepsibly increased. The re-
suit was a reception rendered to Governor
Hoyt this evening, at which no ladies were
present. After the general reception to the
boys and workers, there was a banquet, at
which speeches were made until long after
midnight. Even the governor himself had
no idea what a stalwart gathering he was
attending until he received a copy of the
speech that President George Fl. Baker, ex-
minister to Russia and Turkey, was to make.
He found that the bloody-shirt was to be
waved on high and the battles of the rebel
lion fought over again. Governor Hoyt is a
man always equal to the situation. and cave
Baker a Roland for his Oliver. He spoke of
the high position that the Union league club
had held during the war for the Union, and
how it was necessary that it should arise to
meet the new rebellion; and he was received
with thunders of applause. lie dilated upon

The Exodus OF Negroes.

Milwaukee Ne1os: 1.-The secret of this ne
gro exodus at this particular time has leaked
out. 1t has been query in the minds ofthe
southern people why it was that such a mood
of migration to Kansas sprung up so sudden
ly among the negro population of the cotton
States. 1t has been a well known fact that
these people have appeared ordinarily happy
aud contented, as well as doing reasonably
we'll for themselves of late. Now, all at once
almost the whole colored population of some
districts are emigratlng to Kansas. The Sc
cret of the matter seems to be that it is DO
litical strategem altogether. The Republic
cans are instigating this negro exodus for the
sole purpose of reducing the population of
the southern States before the next census is
taken, thereby reducing the representation in
the house Of representatives from those
States, which they think will insure Repub
lican majority. This is in keeping with their
scheme to colonize a sufficient number of me-
eroes in New York, Ohio and Indiana during
the coming simmer to give these States to
the Republicans in the next Presidential con-
test"

MEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1879
CHARLES O'CONOR AND TENNEs-
AEE.

The communication Published in another
column over the signature of Ed w. Nun
ford, of this city, is worth al! the space We
give it and all the time it will take carefully
to read and candldly 10 consider it. 1t will
be seen that Mr.. Munford trlumphantiy an
swers the sophistries upon which Charles
O'Conor's legal opinions are based, and if
the bondholders refuse to accept the proposed
settlement at City cents on the dollar, with
four per cent, upon the presumption that the
legal opinion of their hired attorney is correct,
they will find in the end that the courts of the
country do not always indorse the opinions
of attorneys biased by the big fees of the
bondholders. Any opinion expressed by
Charles O'Conor carries great weight, but his
name is not so potential as to brighten the
railroads of Tennessee into a surrender of
their rights in a court of justice. The dis
tInguished lawyer of New York does not al
ways win his cases, and great as is the admit
ration of the country for the genius of man
which is as bright as his name is unsulied, it
prefers the decisions of a court of justice to
the opinions of an attorney. The words SO
kindly but forcibly expressed by Mr.. Mum
ford, should be seriously considered by the
bondholders. If they reject his counsels they
will live to regret it. He is no repuaiiatt0r.
He has consistently "a t5ored to maintain the
credIt-oott che State, but in closing his admir-
able communication he eloquently depicts
the many misiortunes that have over
taken the people of Tennessee, and tells the
bondholders to beware, lest they drive the tax
payer TO desperation. The picture which
Mr.. Muniord draws as to the private dis
tresses of the people is correct. A mountain
of debt is entailed on the taxpayer. Labor
is no longer remunerative; property, in the
way of real estate, instead of being produc
tive, isl an encumbrance; thousands have
gone into bankruptcy; prosperous citizens
humbled to beggary, and for the past five
years the earth has been as brass and the
heavens iron. If the bondholders reject the
proposed compromise, and should demand the
last pound of flesh, they will find in the end
that public integrity has been crushed by
their cruel exactlons, and that the men who
would struggle against dlshonor, will be en-.
gulphed in the maelstrom of reputation.

enough card to play against the developing

testations enough then; nobody wants to
hear any more now. Indeed, it was under
stood when he was besieged with delegations
to persuade him to accept the Vice Presi-
dency then, that he finally yielded to the
pledge of the Tammany hall people that he
should have their support in 1880; but this
cannot be understood as extending farther
than the convention. If the majority de-
cides that it can use Mr.. Hendricks better as
tail than head, he will accept the humber
position as obediently as he did before

Nerx YnrI, Rfvnrcen

We printed, few days ago, New York
World reporters account of the manner in
which he procured divorce through the
agency of some sharks who advertise to effect
such separations without publicity and at
small expense, in any State. Il will be re-
membered that in this INSTANCE the client
really had no wife, but made helawyer think
he had. He was freed from his supposed
consort by the alleged decree of a Wisconsin
court, though the parties were not residents
of that State. After getting his decree, which
had all the appearance OF being genuine, the
reporter visited Wisconsin, aud found that
the document was forgery. Some of the
officials whose names were signed were non
existent, while toe signature of the Judge had
been initiated. The seal was not the genuine
one, but had respectable look Thtsi infer
ence is that the rascally counsel, supposing
that his customers would never go so far
west, was willing that they should commit
bigamy in order that he might get his tees.
The World proprietors have directed the re-
porter to secure his arrest If convicted, his
punishment will be imprisonment for from
one to FIVE years.

gave the Democrats a splendid victory, and
Cincinnati rewarded their efforts with defeat.
In the consultation among the Ohio leaders
since the election of last Tuesday, the true
cause of the reverse In that State has become
apparent. It is no longer a secret that the
Democratic campaign IN Ohio, and especially
in Cincinnati, has received severe check
through the appearance OF Iilden's hand in
the organization. When the campaign com

fight. The result in Cincinnati, therefore, is
not so discouragiug to the Ohio leaders here

county, in which Cincinnati is located, are
Democratic when the contest is clearly un
derstood to be one of home interest, and that
they will see to it that Mr.. TlIden and his

sulphur recommended in cases of

found it to be remarkably e~ficacdous.
He mixed as much sulphur sn he
could with glycerine to a creamy con-

attacked should swallow slowly, ac-
cording to age, a teaspoonful or more
Of this liquid three or four time a
day also a little should be applied to
the n@ostrils with a sponge. He stat es
that he never lost a case when the
remedy was used at the earliest stas e

children and adults the stronger iow
ers OF sulphur, and when It could not
be swallowed some Of the powder was
blown into the throat and nostrils
