Chambers and Zapp.

The candidate for congress from the first
congressional district is gentleman beloved
and respected by all citizens. As staunch
Republican true and tried, he has always de-
clared his love and adhesion for the party
openly and above board. The wants Of the
district are known to him, having become
familiar with every interest while wearing the
ermine as district Judge.
In his canvass for governor of the State, he
received large vote, and if elected to con-
press will do the best for his constituency.
ROBERT zArp, ESQ.,,
will represent the eighth congressional district
in the next congress. A refugee from the OPP
preston of his native land in IS49, he settled
IN Texas. and devoted his attention to farm
ing. Cincinnatus was taken from the pillow to
make the eagles of Rome victorious, and Mr..
Zapp, farmer and merchant, will enlighten
congress both on agriculture and commerce,
when elected. Men like Mr.. Zapp are in
valuable in all legislative bodies. They are
practical; have experience; know the wants of
the people with whom they mix. Lawyers
have monopolized their places. The grar gers

How Fashions are Set.

New York sun.
The Austrian empress, while on. little
country excursion with her usual retinue,
stopped at an inn for refreshments. Being
heated she took off her bonnet and hung it on
the back of chair, where playful puppy
made such mischief with it before anybody's
attention was attracted as to render it unfit for
further wear. OF course every lady in the
party offered her own hat in the place of the
one that was damaged, but the empress took
the whim to finish the excursion without any
other head covering than that supplied by ma
ture. Being observed in this fashion by some
ladies Of the stylish world, who are eager to
initiate anything that royalty does, the prac-
tice of appearing in public without hat or
bonnet came into general vogue. The morn
ing promenades became marked by the pres
ence OF numerous elegantly arranged heads Of
hair devoid of any covering, and on Sunday
the same fashion was followed in church. To
such extent was this becoming the rage, says
the Vienna Tageblatt, that milners grew
alarmed, and clamored at court about it,
whereupon an explanation of the cause of the
empress hatless excursion was issued from
official sources, and published to the social
world This put an end to the new fashion,
hatmakers were handy once more, and fash
ionable circles were again at peace.

To summarize Mr.. Beecher's earnings from
his brain the figures would be about as fol-
lows: Pulpit salary, $5oo,ooo lectures,
S2oo,ooo; editorial work, 100000; from
hooks, $Ioo,oo9 making 5000, 900; TO which
add the 100000 paid him after the great
trial. and you will find the grand total to be a
million. To these earnings for himself must
be added the amount accruing to Plymouth
church from Mr.. Beecher's services. The
annual income of this church is now $4,000.
The aggregate for the s. years will thus De
another million, making in all $2,ooo,oo
coined by the busy brain of one man.

He MEMPHIS DAILY APPEALS

with which the speaker is but partially &C.
quainted. He should be perfectly familiar
with his subject, and have sufficient ideas to
keep his tongue busy. Although cur great
est orators have spent great deal of time in
preparation, they were not confined to their
manuscript when the time of delivery came.
Their stock of thoughts was great, and their
organs of speech furnished only partial
outlet. While extemporaneous speaking
should be the custom of all orators, preach
ers ought especially 10 practice it. Their
themes are the grandest and mos. important
and should not be presented in a monoton-
Gus and Indifferent manner. Much of
preachers usefulness is destroyed by this i'm
perfect delivery. Now that it has become
fashionable to read speeches in the Congress
of the United States, oratory will, we fear,
soon be classed among the lost arts.
Oratory is a sudden outburst of inspiration.
While reading speech, it is as absurd
az it is impossible. Oratory is for the
moment; it appeals TO the sympathies of
the hearers, exalts, moves, melts, persuades
and takes the soul captive. This cannot be
done by reading. The wonderful powers of
such men as Patrick Henry and William L.
Yancey would never have been felt if they
had read their speeches. The hearers of S. S.
Prentiss listened to him fov hours perfectly
unconscious of the lapse of time. No one
could criticise him while listening or dis
sent from him. He never seemed TO think |
at all. One never heard the jar or click Of
the machinery. The thoughts seemed to
flow from him, full-grown, perfect and |
clad in words born in his very soul. Many |
orators com FENCED their speeches in a |
whisper so as 10 secure silence and attention. |
But Prentiss always secured the attention OF |
his hearers by starting with a sudden flight
of oratory. The old citizens of Memphis re-
member the first speech he ever delivered in
this city. 1t was in 1910, pending the ex-
citing canvass for the presidency between
Harrison and Van Buren,. 1t was known that
Mr. Prentiss was coming down the river on
,ne of the large steamboats, on the Missis-
ippi river. The Wing party induced the
teamer to stop long enough for Mr.. Prentiss
O speak, and he was carried TO the Exchange
,uilding in great triumph, and the house
vas packed with men and women. The
Wigs were making q fearful war on the
orruptions of Van Burep's administration,
nd Mr.. Prentiss thrilled and captivated the
ttention of all in the first sentence of his
peech, for in deep and sonorous
,nes, musical and melliAuous he
aid: "Fellow-C itizens-It has rained
eruption forty days and forty nights,
nd there is no Ararat for the sacred
rk of the constitution" This sentence
aptivated all hearts, and his eulogy upon ,
,e Wing party and its candidate, show !
,g that they furnished the Ararat on
hich the sacred ark of the constitution

as in some other lands in the East, for

lence and typographical neatness. They all
compare very favorably with kindred publ
cations of our land, while many of them are
vastly superior TO any produced in New
York or Boston. Especially is this true of
the pictorials Of Paris. One could spend
hours pro6tably in examining these wonder
full productions of the printing-press. Be-

and satisfactorily. He is now a candidate
Tor re-election-made SO contrary to his de
sires, and the people of Memphis, whom hs
has so honestly served, should, on Thursday
next, by their votes, say to him: "Well done
good and faithful servant" His friends sub
NIT the history of his services to the judp
ment oil the people, believing that they will
be approved. Colonel Burke has been singled
out for the opposition of those who desire his
place, but we have too much faith in the
justice and gratitude of the people of Mem.
PMS to believe that the man who has been
the right bower Of Porter and Overtop in
rescuIng the city from ruin and placing il on
hrm basis of prosperity can be defeated.
When, at the age of seventy, Socrates was ar
raigned for trial he refused to prepare a de-
Tense, declaring with stately independence
that his whole life had been a preparation.
that no man had ever seen him commit an
unjust deed. He had never been engaged in
. lawsuit through all his life, or wronged 4
living mortal. These were his defenses. and
these are the defenses of Colonel Burke. His
whole life, and especially his career as a
member and president of the board, shield
him from the assaults OF the opposition. No
man has yet had the impotence to impugn
bis honesty, or to assail the purity Of
his private life. Consequently they have
no alternative left but to disparage
his strength ami to disseminate the mad-dog
cry that he cannot be elected. But this false
hood the stale device which is always resorted
TO BY desperate men who dare not assail the
integrity of the man they seek to destroy,
will only stimulate the friends of Colonel
Burke. He cannot be defeated. We can
not understand the logic which would
elect the old board intact and defeat Colonel
Burke, who has co-operated with Porter and
Overton in doing more for the prosperity of
Memphis during the past two years than has
ever been accomplished during any preced-
ing ten years. The people of Memphis should
unite in showing their appreciation of the
great and valuable services rendered to our
community by the energy, enterprise, and
honesty of Colonel NJ. Burke by unanimously
electing him to the position which he has so
filed for two years.

Cold in the dismal, dank walls of disease
With none TO earess her,
Nor loved ones TO bless her,
Peaceful and motionless she lies without care
An lately she had q whole world on its knees;
Now scarcely q relic
OF q beauty angelic
Is lingering to honor her-only her hair.
Wonderful hair, The sunlight csnfesses

Broken into q bow,
Whose seyenfold hues are spanning 1t there
What shroud does she need but those long, sweep
There, twine them above her,
Seek not TO uncover,
Honor and love her. If but for her hair
Once lips like the morning making redder the da Y,
Once eyes like the even.
Late borrowed from heaven,
And glance like an innocent smile amid prayer.
Now the wolf" in its greed has seized on its prey.
He's MANNED her and manged her,
And shamefully strangled her,
Yet dared not dishonor her profusion of hair.
Naught but her hair TO pronounce her as human I,
With love look upon her,
Her locks are her honor.
