A FOUNDING


Last night, about O'Clock, Mrs. Dalton,
the laundress OF the Peabody Hotel, was very
much surprised when she returned to her
home, on Front street, near Market, after her
days labors, to hear the sound of baby g
voice within. To her amazement, she found
baby. ApparedtIy week old, with milk
bottle and bundle OF clothing. What to
do with the little stranger she did not know.
OF course she could not neglect it, 80 she
took it in. Later on she went to the station
house and notified the officers Of the fact. OF
ficer Hedrick went upon the scent OF the affair,
but could not find either of the parents. II
is said that Mrs. Dalton has a son, and the
fact that the baby wss lett there points rather
suspiciously at him; but so far there is but
little ground for this suspicion.

A FIRE
In a Hebrew Junk Shop Last Night
Is He Ipsured?

About IL o'clock last night fire broke out
in the clothing and grocery store of Herman
Hammer, on Wellington and Monroe streets.
How it originated is decided mystery,
which the insurance companies will Of course
investigate. When the door of the place
was broken open mass of flames burst out
from behind the counter and among the
shelving. Hammer appeared to be SO
much worked up that he could
not tell anything abouF 1t, but
he sat bleatiug like a lost sheep. The build
ing. with what it contained, was probably
worth $1,000; the loss is estimated at $15OO
Hammer could not tell whether he was In
sured or not In all ,bility it will turn
out that he had not fore stten this important
particular. His place has not had very
inc repntation with the police.

A Pertinent Inquiry.

To the Editors OF the Appeal:
The Mississippi River Commission having
determined TO repair the leyees on the banks
of our great river only a means of improv
ing navigation by combining the water 10
narrower space, and thus deepening the chan
mel, it becomes pertinent to inquire whether
that important object can be best accom-
plished by first closing the gaps In the levees
from Memphis to the mouth OF the azoo,
where the channel is now wide, shallow and
difficult, or by closing the gaps nearer the
mouth OF the river where the channel is deep
enough for all practical purposes the year
round 1t seems 10 US that there can be no
question as TO what the answer must be.
The commission recently set apart the sum
of 81 800, 900 for levee purposes, and divided
that amount between tt e Arkansas and the
Mississippi sides of the river. At the last
meeting Of the commission 1t was proposed
to reduce the allotment for the Mississippi
side TO $500, 900, thus leaving the cum Of
S4OO, 600 unappropriated. We understand
| that our Louisiana friends are anxious to
have thi. sum appropriated to repairing the
levee near New Orleans, above as well
as below, and while we would glad.
| " see every broken levee repaired
and made strong enough 10 resist any Hood,
| we are clearly of the opinion that every
dictate OF prudence and policy demands that
the money expended in repairing the levees
| as means Of improving the navigation o. the
| Mississippi r-irer, should be expended where
the most direct and immediate result can be
| manifest to the most careless observer. 10
attempt to improve the navigation Of the
| lower river by repairing leyees where the
channel is now deep and secure. and its
navigation safe and easy, does not strike us
as wise or polite. AT its next session, Con-
gress, as we'll as the general public, will be
clamoring for results, and as we shall need
and desire to obtain an additional appro-
priation, it is highly important that the
friends of the river improvement shall be
placed in a position to point 10 splendid
and assured success; and this success car
only be obtained by deepening the channe
and improving the navigation of the long
shallow and difficult reaches between Mem
phis and Vicksburg. To undertake to i'm
prove navigation where there is now deep
safe channel il very much like carrying
Goals to Newcastle" and we tru:
that the eminent engineers now in session IL
this city will take measures to impress upoI
the River Commission, which meets in st
Louis next week, the great Importance o
the views we have set forth and thus rende
an essential service to the whole countr,
and add to the reputation they now justly
enjoy as able and accomplished members o
a most useful and honorable profession.

AT THE END OF SIX MONTHS

AT THE END OF SIX MONTHS
this would give membership OF 2lOO. An
assessment of So levied on each of these
would amount TO $4,000, which divided
among the FIRST hundred members would give
each member S105 for $40, handsome
profit. These 100 members then go out and
700 new members come in. Another assess
ment is levied on the 200 members, aggre-
eating $f3, 500, which divided among the 200
benefciaries would give them $67 %
apiece for SIS. These 200 go out and are
succeeded BY 800. The 800 members next in
order get $50 for $50 each. The 400 mem
bers, S4S IS for $S5 each; the 500 members
$45 for $40 each; and the 800 members S42
for $45 each, loss OF 81 each. Here we
have the association closed out in Elk months
after it began paying benefits.
BY A FURTHER CALCULATION
it will be seen that 700 members will be
out S25 each, 800 members $40 each, 900
members SIS each, 1000 members $40 each,
HOO embers IS each. These various sums
footed up show a total loss of S6z, 800.
From these figures the APPEAL confidently
announces as truth beyond question that
Won cannot give one man 500 for $40 with
out taking The 500 out Of somebody's pocket
Another axiom which has already been en-
forced is that no sort of jugglery can Ia axe
two dollars out of one; and it would be as
easy to accomplish this feat as to make q
matrimonial association succeed. The trsl
men who go into these affairs make money
but how will it be vita the last? Echo

MEMPHIS,
Ry the Sacrifices of Her People. - the
Most Prosperous City OF the
South To-Day.
New York Tribune.


After her dreadful Losses of life and money
by the yelIow-fever in 1879, the people OF
Memphis pluckily faced the situation, built
a system OF sewers, aud determined to Keep
their city clean. The sacrifice was consider
able, but the reward has been abundant.
To-day Memphis is one of the most prosper
Gus cities of the South, and every pro-pect
for the future is encouraging. Aside from
the direct value OF an efficient drainage sys-
tenn, the courage aud energy which its con-
struction required and stimulated have
worked like leaven in other directions.
Nashville American
By geographical inheritance and COM
bining later fsvoring influences growing
out of this, Memphis has, even IN
the face of yellow-fever and cholera
no reason TO look despairingly into the years
to come. She has the advantage OF natu-
raj vitality, not surpassed by any other city
which should make her OF great Importance
in the gulf region 10 friendly conjunction
with New Orleans May she live long in the
enjoyment Of health and all prosperity.

that II was not dJubtHl that measures providing

the session IS half over, and not single step
has been taken in behalf OF either of these
measures Worse yet, the diScouragin5 infOr

II would seem that II the attention of Congress

could he no hesitation in concedng the eight or
twelve hours time per month requisite TO deal

passage Of these measures In behalf of the public
health and comfort here. that any citizen of Wash

certainly seems that city having more popula-
