MElIPNlS APPEAL
JANUARY aa, 1882
HOW CITIES ARE MADE.

The recipe for making a great city out OF
small one is no secret. A small town, IA
vorably located for commercial and general
trading purposes, will soon blossom into a
city ii the inhabitants are enterprising and
resort to the proper appliances. The same
cause produces the same effect, and the in
strumentalities which have built up 80 many
cities in the North will produce the
results in the South In every town in the
United States the facts show that those de-
voted TO manufacturing, though located in
old and stationary localities, far outstrip
those not especially given to manufacturing
and which rely upon commerce and local
trade, even though situated in the heart of
the most rapidly growing comm unities. The
st. Louis Republican demonstrates this fact
by referring to Jersey City, New Jersey,
which increased its population from
$4,000 in 1870 to 10000 in 1880; Newark
from 100000 to $4,000, and Pittsburg from
$4,000 to $4,000. No Western cities of like
population in the most rapidly advancing
States show such growth as this. Pittsburg
purely manufacturing town, heads the en-
tire list Of the cities of the country in growth
during the last decade. The same results
will follow the same causes here in the South
The towns and cities will prosper in the same
proportion that they engage in manufac-
lures. This is demonstrated by the rapid
growth OF Birmingham, in Alabama. Every
where the facts show that the capital engaged |
in manufactures produces more than twice as
much benefit to the whole community as
that employed in commerce. In manu-
featuring community the mechanics build the |
houses for manufacturing. The operatives, |
who have to be fed and clothed, give work |
to others. There are hundreds OF articles |
which have to be used in the |
factories and which must be pro-
duced by somebody. The earnings
of the operatives are put in circulation in
the community where they live. They rent
houses, and must have furniture and food
and fuel and clothing, and thus the whole
community is benefited For these reasons,
many of the cities of the South are deter
mined to engage in manufacturing. The
Southern city that takes the lead in manu-
will become the largest and most
prosperous. Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta
and Nashville are enthusiastic on the subject
Of manufactures. They are holding public
which are well attended, showing
the general interest taken in the subject, and
also that there will be no diff
iculty in raising all the funds necessary to
carry out every project for manufacturing.
But what have we done in Memphis? What
10 we propose TO do? We have discussed
he matter of engaging in a general
system of manufactures. We all know the
necessity of such a course, but the time has
come for action. For years Memphis has
been next to New Orleans in population of
all the cities in the cotton States, but unless
'he engages in manufacturing she will soon be {
,lassed as the fifth in wealth and population.

Inrelled by memory in awayward mood.
Reluctant, yeaming, with faith'ess mind,

\ wooded upland oordered by the sea,
Whose tides were swirling up the reedy sands,
Or floating noiseless in the yellow marsh.

My face, but as passed a ruined wall
Brambles and vines and waving blossoms dashed
A frolic welcome, like a summer rain.

Alone-none was to keep the tryst with me-
No voice-no step among the hills heard.
The Joyous swallows from their nesting flew,
Mad in the light with song. Far out at sea
The white sails fluttered in the eager breeze,
But Day silent holding tryst with ne

Troubles i'm the Indian Territory

PARSONS khs-l special 70 Co1c4g0 Times
Considerable apprehension is felt among
railroad men on the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas line who run through the Indian Ter
ritory, because of the many distractions
placed upon the track of late, calculated to
wreck any train coming in contact with them.
There has been an extra force of patroImen
put on to watch the track. Thus far they
have removed several instructions, braccd in
a manner that would render itimpossible for
a train to strike them without wrecking it,
The removal of these obstacles has aroused
the ire of the dastardly villains, and two OF
the patrolmen have been killed.
John Russell. engineer of passenger train
between here and Muscogee, ran into one of
these distractions last Tuesday night. and
but for the automatic brake the train would
have been derailed and probably wrecked.
As il was, a rail became so wedged under the
engine as to delay the train several hours.
Meanwhile it became daylight, and the sec

A Cypre,s,. Recuperat,ve pov.r

In communication to the West Chester
pa Record Mr.. Isaac w. Van Leer, OF
Chester county, says: "In the Southern
swamps the deciduous cypress sends up
knobs from its roots like straw bee-hives, APP
parently to air them by keeping part above
water. We have tree of that variety on
our lawn SANDY loan where water never
comes except when it rains) that continues to
push up its round knobs if it was growing
in the Dismal Swamp in Virginia. Perhaps
another popularity of the cypress may be
new to your readers. After transplanting it
grew up beautiful cone, until it reached
about forty feet in hight, when a storm OF
sleet and wind broke off about one-third
limbs Of equal length-six to nine feet
standing around at an angle of forty-fiye de-
grees. Its beauty being destroyed l only
waited for a convenient opportunity to re-
move it; but / soon observed that one of the
five long limbs was turning up and taking
the place of the missing top. After its erect
position was assumed it grew three feet TO its
fellows one, and the tree is now straight
and symmetrical a cone as before its accident,
without crook, bend or enlargement at the
place OF fracture. | have noticed two sprigs
of one years growth on evergreens turn up
in this way, but did not suppose limb seven
or eight feet long, with many side limbs, and
FIVE or six years old would act in the same
way. When the leaves are down you can see
where the break was made, by the upper
limb being more slender and the bark
smooth"

An Endowed Orphan.

Mr.. John Roach, the well-known ship
builder, succeeded last summer in finding the
heiress of a sum of $4,000, which was placed
in his hands twenty years ago, as trustee.
Mr.. John Baker, New York lawyer, died
about 1862, leaving $4,000 as legacy to the
orphan daughter of his friend, John Kirby.
The sum was to be paid TO her arriving
at the age of twenty-one, with the accrued
interest. Salem Marks, real estate dealer,
was appointed guardian OF the child, who
was then three or four years old. The child
was placed in an orphan asylum, and was
abducted by some person pretending TO be a
relative. Mr.. Roach, wishing to get rid of
the trust of his friend, and also to pay over
the money due to the young lady, who had
attained her age of twenty-one years some
four years ago, started a fresh inquiry for
the missing legstee. Years passed away
without success, and il seemed doubtful
whether any trace of the former infant could
be found or knowledge if she had died. Mr..
Roach, however, last year traced her to the
orphan asylum, and from this point ulti-
mately succeeded in discovering the object of
his search. She was found to be residing
with a Mr.. and Mrs. MacMahon, the former
being a well-to-do builder and contractor in
New York. She had been living with these
people almost ever since she was taken from
the asylum, and was in a measure their
adopted daughter. When the surrogate be-
came satisfied as to her identity he ordered
the legacy TO be paid, together with the &C.
cumulated compound interest.

The Negroes Leaving FIR Pensacola.

There is much complaint in portions OF
Central and South Alabama, says the Selma
Times because of the large numbers of ne
groes leaving for Pensacola and other points
in Florida TO work on the railroads in course
of construction in that State. To many
planters the labor problem has been brought
home with all the force that total lack of
hands can cause. One OF Montgomery
county's largest planters, we learn, took off a
large number of negroes last fall 10 work on
the Pensacola and Atlantic road, thinking it
would be an easy matter to get them back in
time for pitching" the new years crop, but
he failed in this, and now he is without
hands, as are a number of his neighbors.
Hundreds OF negroes haze left the planta-
tions along the line of the Mobile and Mont
gomery division of the Louisville and Nash
vile road in Montgomery, Lowndes and
Butler counties, and we learn that the
same is true of portions of Bullock county.
Pensacola and vicinity Is regarded By
the negroes OF Central and South Alabama
az the promised land. One may pass group
of the blacks on the streets of Selma or Mont
gomery, and nine times out of ten something
NAV be heard of Pensacola. That town seems
to be the center OF their thoughts, the object
i've point of their aims. The labor question
has come 10 be very serious one with many
Alabama farmers, and If will continue TO be-
come more and more serious.
