OfFOrmfns Southern Sunday
School Assembly.

A preliminary meeting will be held at
Tullahoma, Tenn, beginning Thursday, Au-
gust II, 1882, at 8 o'clock pm, and continue
as long as the interest may justify. The OBJ
iect of this meeting is to bring together
Sunday-school workers and christian people
of all denominations to discuss a Sunday
school assembly to be located somewhere in the
South, which will sustain to the South the rela-
ton that Chautauqua, N. Y, does to the North.
1t meets with universal approval. Six States
have promised cooperation, and will be rep
resented in this meeting. free and full
discussion of this subject should be had. A
committee of wise and judicious men will be
selected to whom all papers pertaining to
location, ETC., will be referred. This COM
mittee should be appointed early and given
ample time TO work up the matter thor
oughly. While this committee are at work
a programme has been arranged as follows:
Thursday, August 18th, s O'Clock pm,
opening; platform meeting.
Friday, August 18th, 8 o'clock am, Sun
day-school normal work; 1920 o'clock, lee
ture; 4 o'clock PM, "a Southern Sunday
school Assembly," free discussion; o'clock
pm lecture.
This to be the order of exercises for each
day. Some of the best lecturers of the
land have been secured. Governor Colquitt,
of Georgia, will be present Saturday and
different choirs are requested to be present
and help in the music. ALI who will agree
to do so will send their names to r. A.
Campbell, Nashville, at once. All persons
interested in this movement who expect to
attend will send, without delay, their names
to the Rev. J. N. Turrentine, Tullahoma,
Tenn. To all such free entertainment is
offered. The railroads will sell, at all sta
lions, tickets at reduced rates if applied for
during business hours. Arrangements are
being made TO have an excursion from Nash
vile and Chattanooga Saturday at even less
rates than the general reduction. Further
notice will be given of this when full ar
shall have been made. The
president of the Middle Tennessee Sunday
school Convention requests all vice-presi-
dents and executive committees to meet
at Tullahoma Thursday, August 18th, at 2
o'clock pm, to discuss the work for the en-
suing year. All have been notified, and it
is hoped that not one will be absent. Be
prompt to the hour.
Again / want TO urge all persons inter-
ested in a Sunday-school assembly for the
South to be present al the opening and stay
through the entire meeting, which will con-
tinue until Sunday night at least. Some
thing rich in store for all who attend.

SILLY RUMORS
which Vanish Into Thin Air when
Traced to Their Source.

1t is wonderful how rapidly bad report
will circulate, and it is equally surprising
what little can be found in most OF them
when they are traced back to the authors.
"a suspicious case of fever" is the great bug
bear of this community, owing, doubtless, to
our severe epidemics Of 1878 and 1879, and
since the beginning of summer this paper
has found it necessary to run down several
such reports. Yesterday an APPEAL re-
porter was informed by Main street tobac-
conist that another merchant in the same
line had informed him that suspicious case
was reported 10 him by his solicitor, who had
Just returned from trip in Fort Pickering.
An Investigation showed that grocery
woman living two and half miles out on
the Horn Lake road did say to the tobacco
solicitor that man died in the neighborhood
several weeks ago of fever, and he turned
black after death, which information was
given to rid herself of the solicitor, and not
to start report of the kind.
The above case is similar to all such re-
ports, and it is safe TO say that the majority
OF such reports have less foundation.

IMPORTANT ROAD.
Work on the Memphis, vicksburE and
New Orleans.

Mr.. Grant, the superintendent of the Mem
phis, Vicksburg and New Orleans railroad,
has been in the city for few days, looking
out for a suitable place by which to enter the
city. He has ten division engineers engaged
and thirty stationary engineers. Work on
the road is vigorously pushing at Baton
Rouge, Port Gibson and Vicksburg. Meet
ing President MADDEN, Mr.. Grant said that
in short time his road would have petit
lion to present 10 the Council to come into
the city. at isn't necessary" said the presi-
dent, ''to present petition. You just come
right up Main street, and build your depot
in Court Square" On the 1st of October the
the work will begin here; and in two years
the whole road will be be completed. Hunt
ington and Wilson are one in this
matter, and there can be no manner
of doubt that they mean business.
Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Tennessee Southern
railroad took place at the Office of Mr.. N. M.
Jones. Some discussion was held concerning
proposition to consolidate the Memphis
and Vicksburg, the Mississippi Valley and
Ship Island Railroad Company, and the
New Orleans and Mississippi Valley Rail-
road Company. As these are paper roads at
present, the consolidation is only important
as looking toward the road now bIilding by
Wilson and Huntington.

The ENDURANCE Oh Inc japanese COOAle,
Japan furnishes an example that tells
largely in favor of vegetarian diet. That
the japanese are people OF muscle and
great physical endurance is apparent on
every hand. The specimens Of muscular de-
yelopments shown in the build and structure
of the working classes are evidences of great
strength and hardness. The diet of these
men is entirely of vegetables and fish, and
they are very economical feeders at that.
The quantity of food they require, or, at
least, the quantity they eat is astonishingly
small when compared with the food devoured
by the meat-eaters from the Western world.
The amount of manual labor they perform
is simply prodigious. The coolie who takes
the place of and who does the work for
which oxen and horses are utilized
elsewhere is about as strong and can
accomplish about as much heavy work
"a the beasts OF burden they take the place
Of They are possessed OF immense power of
limb, being able 10 pull loads that would be
considered as much as any ordinary draught
amin al could draw. 1t is wonderful to see
them walking away with the heavy loads
they easily move; and az carriers of burdens
upon the shoulder they are capable of
startling achievements. Seemingly their
frames are az tough as steel, not susceptible
of cold or intense heat-going thinly clad in
freezing weather, and NOT shrinking from the
sun in Its most oppressive season.
Short in stature, compact in build, with
well-expanded chest, limbs of shapely
mould, with muscles of iron endurance,
small exremities, delicate ankles, they are a
marvel of strength. Some of these men
have a mass OF muscle in their lower limbs
such as are seen delineated in the cuts OF the
gladiators of old Rome. And it must be re-
membered that these men are from necessity
the least able to indulge in unlimited guam
titles of their peculiar food of all the people
in the land. They illustrate the lesson that
strength and endurance may exist on light
and scanty diet of rice and vegetables, to-
gether with fsh. The Rikisha men are not
80 heavily moulded, being of much slighter
build, but they are also full OF muscle, though
not 80 prodigslly developed. The fatigue
