Memphis Appeal: Col. FALKNER's
new novel, the WHTrE Rose OF MEM
PHIs, will be ready in a few days.
1t will no doubt prove a success.
The Publishers, &. w. Carlton &
Co., express the opinion that it is a
book that all good men will love
to read, and a book that they would
like to have their wives and daugh-
ters read. Ii holds the mirror up
to nature, and the peculiarities and
distinctive traits of every charac.
ter are sustained throughout the
work with rare skill md ability.
The passions Of love, despair, jeal-
ousy, hate, pride, joy, envy and re-
venge are most wildly portrayed,
whilst all the noble qualities of hu.
man nature are painted in their
most attractive colors. 1t responses
the cause oftrue virtue against vice;
the MORALE is good; the lessons il
teaches are good, and from every
page gushes the most charming
and noble sentiments. In speak
ing of this work, a correspondent Of
the New Orleans democrat says:
The best evidence Of the value of
the composition is the eagerness
manifested by the publishers to Sc
cure the control OF it, and The very
favorable terms EXTENDED to the
author by Mr.. Carlton, who was so
fortunate as TO get to publish it,.
In his contract with Mr. Carlton,
Col. Falkncr was placed Ga an
equality with The best authors Of
old and established regulations.
Quite a competition arose among
book publishers 70 control The sale
but Mr., Carlton, Of Madison square,
happened to lie the lucky one.
This book will be out in two or
three weeks, ana | am glad to know
that the south is coming to the
in a literary point Of Wow.
Col. FaIkner was a colonel in the
Confederate army, and won many

4 FINE CROWD
They Wanted to Fight and Did.

Ihey - sntad To right ana D1d.
This forenoon there was a merry crowd
in Ziegler's hotel, on East King street. A
number of them were tramps, reddlers,
umbrella members, etc, and after they had
drank considerably they began fighting.
Several of them were badly hammered,
and Ziesler, the proprietor, finding that
he was unable to quiet the gang, sent for
Officer Holman, who soon arrived and he
got into the party. They were bound
to fight, but finally Officer Holman, assisted
by Officers Coyle, Creamer and Flick, sue
cceded in getting seven of the men to AL
derman Barr's Office. They there gave
their names as follows: James Murray,
John Burke, James Daley, John Lyle,
Wm Hart. VIM Burns and VIM Kative.
Burke and Daley were both sober and
they claim that they were not in
tine row. They were merely in
the saloon when the gang was
pulled. VIM. Hart is man past the
middle age; he was very drunk and he
persisted in making political speeches dur
ing his stay in the alderman's Office to the
great amusement of the audience, but to
the great disgust of his companions. The
whole party were sent out for a hearing.

ducer of strictly pure unadulterated Port
Grape Wine. The wine of Mr.. Specr is not

old, and has become thoroughly tine and mel
low. 1t has proved Itself wonderful assist
ant to physicians, who prescribe it. This wine
is recommended tor debilitated persons, and
ia given to consumptives. Tho difficulty Of
getting an imported or even pure California
Port is well understood to be 80 great a. to
preclude doctors from allowing their patients
to run the risk OF its use MI. Speer being
aware of this fact has taken the utmost care in
the making OF his wine, so as to supD!ant the
imported wines by producing genuine arti-
Gle. His wines are known by chemists to be
pure and the most reliable for medicinal pur-
poses. The druggists throughout the country
sell 1t, as bottled by Mr.. Speer.-N 7. Tribune.
This wine is recommended by Drs. Atlce
