New jackets have no outside pockets.
Cheviots will be largely used for spring

Stirring will be more popular than ever
during the coming season.
Plain, sprigged and dotted null and swiss
muslins will be worn again.
The newest ginghams show inch checks OF
eglantine pink and chocolate brown.
Brandebourgs or ornaments made of cords

A gold or silver "Sish-bone' supersedes
the horseshoe and four-leaf clover as a lucky
ornament.
Mrs Gladstone usually sits in the ladies'
gallery when her husband makes his i'm

Exaggeration, as a habit, is the result OF a
low moral sense, a feeble perception OF the
truth, and weak intellect.
The large spring bonnets, of which several
styles have already appeared, will be worn
tilted far forward on the head.
The French custom of ladies adopting one

IIis Daily Lie attercnty.

Boston Herald, July, lSI1-
He rises early, takes comparatively light
breakfast and, ii the day is not rainy, sets
out for a walk, which takes up an hour or
two, according to his inclination. His gait
is firm and hearty, and as he walks he holds
himself perfectly upright. He does not
ramble two mornings in the same direction,
but varies his route daily. Every day or
two he calls on his printers at the UairerSity
Press and receives or returns proofs of his
work., if he has anything in type, which is
mostly the case. He studies his matter care
fully after it is in print. Little, if any, of
his poetry published is written on the spur
of the moment. "The Divine Tragedy" is
said to have Teen rewritten after ii was
nearly all in type. During late years he has
been in the habit OF publishing his poems in
the mag 8zines, and after having obtained a
sufficient number adding few new ones to
them and issuing them in book form. He
brings his "copy" to the Office of the Una
uersty Press which is only half mile or so
from his own residence, written in lead pen
ell, in a small back hand very much like the
average newspaper mans style OF hand
writing, clear and mostly free from inter-
lineations and erasures. His magazine
poems are always revised and corrected, or
at least altered more or less, before their
publication in book form, so that the reader
rarely encounters one in exactly the same
shane as in the periodical.

CHICAGO TRADE.
Market Dull, Except for Lard, which
Was Exceptionally Active.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-Wheat was dull to-
day and fluctuations smaller, few outsiders
taking part in the trading, and local
pressure the chief element in the strength
or weakness of the market. The advices
from abroad ard from the domestic markets
indicated nothing but quietness and tend
ency to go slow. The high prices were dis
astroEs all round as things shaped them
selves. The fine weather formed a strong
bear argument, but so far the bulls command
the situation in all the grains. Wheat
opened a(9sc lower, receded little for May,
ruled stronger, advanced &c, again weakened

Ribrio<rnnhx orLongfeIIor.

The best photography OF Mr.. LongtellO6's
works will be found in the Boston Literary
World for February %, 1881. This authority
attributes to him forty-two distinct works,
large and small, and gives also list of
TRANSACTIONS from his writings, as follows:
German, thirty-six; Italian, nine; French
eight; Swedish, Eve; Portuguese, four; Polish,
four; Danish, two; Spanish, one. Scattered
foundations have also appeared, IT is said, in
Russian, Latin, Hebrew, Chinese and San
skirt Il is probable that no author of the
present day, except Mrs. Stowe, has seen
such a variety of versions of his works.
Their circulation in their own original Ian
gusge has been equally extraordinary. 4
careful paper in the Cambridge Tribune, Of
March 8, 1882, states, apparently on the au-
thority OF Mr. Longlellow's publishers, that
the sale Of various works of his from 1889
to 1857 amounted to 325, $50 volumes.
From 1867 to 1881 there were sold
$4,000 copies of his collected works,
in four different editions. In 1881 more than
45. 900 copies of his works we're sold, and in
the same year 5000 copies Of the BiythdGy
BOoE, edited by Miss Bates. 1t is estimate
that IN Great Britain and Ireland not less
than 10000 copies of his books sold an
nually, this being far more than OF any other
living poet: while in Canada his books find
a greater sale than these Of any other Tour
living poets combined. This is the material
side; Of the precise literary value OF this ex-
trsordlnsry SUCCESS We shall speak fur

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

There is at present no serious impeachment
to the future union of the Democratic party
of Tennessee.
Suppose the creditor makes no PROPOSE
Gon-What will youdo? Pay all the debit
KnorriHe Tribune.
The Jackson Dispatch says: "Let the State
debt be settled upon basis of public opin-
ion, and we are done with it."
On the success OF the Democratic party
this fall depends the most thorough organ
ization, purity and harmony of action, with
reform and entrenchment embodied in their
articles of faith.-lIid9<Fon Ne,os.
The Hon. Henri r.. Gibson was the author
of bill some years ago to settle the State
debt at 5O-4. He is now one of the most
blatant 1908 Republicans in the State
R1lorriAe Tribune.
Three years ago the editor OF the Knox
vile Chroz'ce was strong advocate of the
proposed 50-4 compromise, and made
speeches in favor of it. Now nothing less
than 1908 will satisfy him.
We don't want to hear any more epithets
as high-tax and low-tax Democrats. You
are all all of the same family, tutored alike;
your instruments are all tuned for sameness
to play the one tune, and that tune is in the
key of c. one sharp, and governed by the
single cord of ofice.-ChHisrriHe Nail
The Democratic party OF Tennessee is
stronger now than it has been for years. 1t
has found out at a bitter cost what it is TO
throw away their chances by internal bicker-
ings and inordinate thirst for Office. An
undisputed fact is that a united Democracy
can carry the State easily, and woe to the
would be leader that would row attempt for
personal ambition to create discord.--NeE-
bern Enquirer.
"A prominent low-tax man in this county,
foremost in the Wilson movement of 1880,
said recently that he was not disposed to be
unharmonious, or to be in the way of Demo-
cratic Success. He said he was willing for
himself, and those who were with him in
1880 of his neighbors and friends were will
ing, to enter the party on this simple plank
"a recognition of the debt valid and
subsisting, and a settlement Of it upon such
equitable terms as could be agreed on be-
tween the creditor and the debtor as the re-
suit of negotiation. He said the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court had relieved
the people of the fear of being overburdened
and left under perpetual load which might
become too great to bear and yet rot be
lifted. Now that every legislature can deal
with the subject of taxation, he was willing
to settle at the lowest figures which could be
obtained as the result of negotiations."-

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Work for the Unemployed.

To the Editor of the Appeal:
For the information of those people who
are suffering, or likely to suffer, from want
of employment on account of the overflow,
or from any other cause, l desire to say
through the medium of the APPEAL that
hands to work in the field are greatly in de-
mand in this portion OF the country, rs
doubt not they are in every other portion
outside Of the overfowed districts. In con-
sequence OF the excessively wet winter and
spring up to this time, all farm work is
more or less behind; and as there is an I'M
usual amount OF small grain TO be harvested
this year, there is scarcely farmer in the
country but who would be glad to have addi
tional help. l would not advise hands that
have been working upon farms in the over
flowed region to leave the place they are
living on, wherever it Is expected that farm
operations will be resumed upon the subsld-
ing Of the water; but l understand that
there are many places whore it will be i'm
possible to make any crops this year, on sc
count Of the loss OF stock, farming utensils,
etc. To persons on such places and all
others who want employment upon farms at
good wages, / would say that they can find it
with the farmers Of this and the other coun-
ties bordering on the Mississippi bottom.

As a Professor.


For eighteen years Longfellow fulfilled
the active duties Of his professorship-from
1886 until 1854, when he was succeeded by
his brother poet, Lowell. His relations
with his pupils were never warm y or cordi-
ally personal; he rarely invited them 70 his
house or cultivated their private acquaint-
ance That sort OF intercourse was rare in
his time, and it is exceptional even to-day.
But in respect OF courtesy his manners quite
anticipated the present time, and were a
marked advance upon the merely pedsgog-
ical relation which then prevailed. He was
one OF the few professors who then addressed
their pupils as "Mr."; his tone to them,
though not pateruaI or brotherly, was always
gentlemanly. On one occasion, during an
abortive movement toward rebellion, some
OF tie elder professors tried in vain 10 OBJ
tain a hearing from a crowd of angry stu
dents collected in the college yard; but when
Longfellow spoke there was a hush, and
the word went round, Let Us hear Prof
Lougfellow, for he always treats US as

COTTOx.BELr WEATHER REPORTS

COTTOS-BELT WEATHER REPORTS
We have received from the Washington
Signal Bureau copy of the results OF the
arrangement it has made, in cooperation
with the railroad and telegraph lines, for
reporting the rainfall and the maximum and
minimum temperatures, collected throughout
the commercial centers OF the cotton belt.
The system goes into operation Saturday next,
April LIST. The APPEAL will regularly pub
lish these reports which will be be continued
until October 3lst. The stations are gener-
ally located on railroad lines for convenience
of receipt, by telegraph and transmission.
The cotton belt is, for the purpose of these
reports, divided into thirteen districts, each
one named from the center where the reports
from the various stations comprised in the
district are concentrated. The Memphis
district, tine thirteenth on the list, comprises
the following stations: Grand Junction,
Tenn; Corinth, Miss; Tuscumbia, Ala. !;
Decatur, Ala; Scottsboro, Ala; Withe,
Tenn; Brownsville, Tenn; Milan, Tenn;
Paris, Tenn; Erin, Tenn; Clarksville,
Tenn; Nashville, Tenn; fernando, Miss /;
Batesville, Miss; Grenada, Miss Chat
tanooga, Tenn, is also included in
the circuit. The Little Rock district is
composed of the following stations, all in
Arkansas except Paris, which is in Texas:
Texarkana, Prescott, Malvern Junction,
Kennett, Walnut Ridge, Brinkley, Madison,
Devalls Bluff, Russellville, Fort Smith, Ar
kansas City, Monticello. The Vicksburg
district includes Edwards, Miss; Jackson,

phis will send all its reports to st. Louis by
special message. Observations will be made
by persons designated for the purpose at
each station, of rainfall and of maximum
and minimum temperatures at o'clock each
evening, local time; these wall be telegraphed
to the centers, where the averages will be
made up. The signal observer at each sta
tion Will furnish copies to the local press,
cotton exchanges and other business places,
and wherever they will be of beue-
fit. Observers are paid twenty-five cents
for each report sent within fifteen
minutes OF the time of observation,
o'clock. These observations will be of
great value to persons concerned in every de-
partment of the cotton business. To make
them of the utmost value book should be
kept ruled and dated. With proper head
ings to the perpendicular lines the figures
can be readily entered each morning. This
will supply means OF observing the totals
each week and month, and In future years to
compare the results of one season with those
of another. Now is the time TO prepare, to

INDIAN TROUBLES.

hers of Dwellings Destroyed.

ST. PAUL, March 2S.-Reports received at
Fort Assiniboine, Mon, by courier from
Captain Jacob Kline, Eighteenth Infantry,
in command of the column operating against
the half-breeds and Indians on Milk river,
says he struck the Indians on the 18th in
slant, half mile below Medicine Lodge.
There we're thirty FIVE or forty lodges of the
Little River band. Ga the 18th, by forced
marches, he reached the first half-breed
village, and half an hour later detachment
of cavalry had destroyed eighty or ninety
dwellings. The leaders had fed. The half
breeds were badly demoralized and are 60
ing north. The cavalry has been sent TO the
lower village, and this movement will close
the hali-breed campaign, unless the Indians
again show themselves on the north side OF
the river, when Captain Kline will drive
them back over the line.

His Last Birthday.


While Mr.. Longiellow had been averse to
public testimonials and celebrations, his
birthday, especially of late years, has been
the occasion Of many pleasant demonstra-
tions Of the affection n which he has been
held. Particularly was this true Of his last
birthday, on the 9th OF last month, when
many schools throughout the country gave
the whole OF a part oil the day TO study of
his writings and 10 essays and addresses
upon his character and life. His native city
Of Portland desired to honor him with q
public reception upon the same occasion, but
failing health compelled him to decline the
honor. The members Of the Maine Histor-
icsl Society, however, held q special meeting
at which eulogies, critical and personal es-
says and poem we're read. At the Asylum
for the Blind, in South Boston, there was a
pleasing celebration, in which the pupils
participated, and in preparation for which
a volume in raised letters had been printed
containing tributes to Mr.. Longfellow and
some passages from his poens.
