A card from MI. afIeou.

To the Editors OF the Appeal;
The daily papers have at various times
made reference to, and commented upon,
suit brought by me against the Tennessee
Brokerage Association, assuming that my
purpose was to recover money lost by me in
stock speculatiOns, upon the idea that my
dealings were gaming transactions. This
was not the ground of my suit. Mr.. Golson
and myself had difference as to the effect
of a due bill gwen by me to the association,
and claimed he had prematuEsly closed
out stocks which 1 had purchased from the
association This was the whole of the con-
troyersy between US. We have amicably
settled these differences in a way mutually
satisfactory, and hence my suits were dis
missed. This is the whole matter in a nut
shell. The idea of recovering money lost
upon the sole ground of the loss being on
gaming or wagering contracts was foreign to
my purpose. Even treating it ar alleged, l
should never have made that a principal
ground of suit T. p. MICOU.

The executive committee of the low-taE
Democrats has been in council at Nash
VILE during the past week. The result Of
It's deliberations was published in the AP-
PEAL of yesterday. The resolutions have
no doubt been read with unspeakable pleas
ure by every true Democrat in Tennessee,
for they are moderate in tone and breathe
that spirit OF concession and Cancellation
which will prevent the transfer OF Ten
nessee to the Republican party. The COM
mittee, il will be seen, recognizes in the
greltmasses OF the Democratic party an carr
est desire to have the debt question settled
and finally and forever removed from the
arena of political discussion; that to this end
there is a disposition among the low-tax
Democrats to meet their acknowledgements
upon some middle ground upon which, each
conceding something OF extreme opinions,
tor the sake of harmony and success, all may
honorably stand" the low-tax Democrats,
then propose to call State convention, Sin
conjunction with the chairman Of the execu-
tive committee of the other wing of the party,
at such time as may be agreed upon" They
propose no separate action unless their over
lures for peace be rejected The low-tax
Democrats express no opinion as 10 the terms
Tor settling the State debt: they exact nothing,
and only ask that the two wings unite IN
Joint call tor a State convention, in which
the delegates, fresh from the people, may
voice public sentiment by the adoption OF
platform satisfactory to the taxpayer and
lust to the creditor. The low-tax Democrats
propose as a basis Of settlement the very
terms which the State-credit Democrats have
already advocated, and to secure the adop-
ton OF which boy the people the bondholders
spent lug- sums Of money. The low-tax
Democrats propose peace on terms that are
honorable .G5 liberal, Just 10 both factions,
and requiriDguo humiliation Of either. and it
now becomes the duty OF the State-credit
democrats who breathe and speak the poru-
'"I separations, TO make themselves felt on
same sub 3ect. a rejection OF the liberal
oHsr OF the low-tax Democrat will b. 8.

/ Meeting To-Day TO form n Juvenile
Temperance Society


The tendency Of the youth Of Memphis to
"iastness," the prevalence Of the use Of to-
bacco and beer BY boys Of tender year,, has
been frequently noted OF late in the daily
press. Next comes the complaint OF the at
torney- general as to the almost universal
violation Of the Law against selling liquor
to minors" and since the boys Of today are
the men OF tomorrow, this deplorsbls state
Of af5irs calls for a remedy. 1t Is proposed
to establish q juvenile temperance society,
and 10 this end the zUperintencents Of the
various Sundsy-schools have been requested
to announce that a meeting will be held this
day Sunday to organize such 2 society.

list church, Second street, near Bsale, at 3 30
o'clock this afternoon, instead Of Temper
anc- Hall, a. previously announced. Mr..

ested IN the welfare Of the young, and 10 the
cause Of temperance and morality, II earnest

Johnny Dwyer. the PugiIist.

OF Johnny Dwyer, the deceased pugilist,
the Brooklyn Eagle says; Peaceful, good
humored and amiable in every respect, he
strove hard TO raise himself above the con-
dition in which his magnificent phsysiyus
and boyish pride in It hrd placed him."
Johnny, il seems, might have been gentle
man had not the desire TO travel on his
muscle taken him on the road With gambler,

POpe LeO,s Habits

Pope Leo XIII continues TO observe, as
sovereign pontif, the austere habits Tor
which he was distinguished while in the
lower orders of the church. He invariably
rises at o'clock in the morning, and at
once says mass in a private chapel. Soon
after he attends a second mass, said by the
almoner on duty, and then eats light
breakfast. The remainder of the morning
he spends in reading the papers, comforting
and giving audiences 10 official visitors. At
noon he takes exercise in the Vatican gar
dens, returning to dine at , o'clock. After
dinner he retires TO his private rooms to
work and pray. An hour before evening
prayers he takes a short nap, and then a
walk through the halls. At O'clock he sups
and at II o'clock retIrez to bed.

The pellets OF sleet have ceased TO beat
On the snow besprinkled ground.
Against the pane, the gathering rain
Taps with sullen sound
Over shreds of snow no wind shall go,
CARELESS and strong, and fleet,
Only the rain, with dull refrain,
Follows the snow and sleet.
The rain on the trees has ceased TO freeze,
gTwas nodded with cod device.
The bent bOughs lean, like cimeters keen,
In scabbards OF shining ice
Heath frozen cloaks the pines and oaks
Are stopping like Druids old
And the cedarS stand-an arctic band
Held in the clutch of cold.
Through the outer gloom the japonicas blOOI
With, the luster Of rubies bright
Like blossoms blown from a frozen zone

8. s. Hepworth Il Co., OF New York, are
among tho victims Of that gay and festive
financial deceiyer, c. NJ. Hilgert, OF Phiiadel-
phia. He purchased OF Hepworth & Co.,
$4,000 worth OF machinery, and the manner
in which he not only cvaded the payment Of
this amount, but feeced tho firm out OF $1,000
besides, affords striking illustration OF the
financial genius he possessed and employed
in the wrong direction. When ho bought the
machinery no gave the firm two notes for the
amount, ono payable In three months and tho
other in six months.
When tho first note, which was for onehalf
tho amount, became due, Hilgert wrote to tho
flrm asking for an extension, pleading that he
had great many payments 10 mako at that
particular time, and setting forth that an ex-
tension would BIO q great accommodation 10
him. The New York machinists good. naturedly
granted his request. day or so later a new
idea struck Hilgert and he wrote TO the firm
again stating that he did not wish 1t known that
no had asked for an extension, as such knowl-
edge In the business community might in1ure
his prospects. AS great favor ho asked tho
head OF the firm, Mr.. Hepworth, TO send him his
check for $1,000 TO lift the note then falling
note for the extended term and take 1t up In
due time, the whole thing being n matter OF
form. This request Hilgert sent by special
messenger to New York, and It had Its effect
Mr.. Hepworth kindly drew upa check for
