Sunday night, two Irishnen were
arrested for disturbing the peace, and
were incarccrated in the city lookup.
a few hours later the Secretary of the
City Council, who has il bedroom up
stairs in the lookup, gave the alarm of
fire, aud it was found that the wild Irish
men had set fire to the door of the cell
in which they were confined, but were
found as quiet as lambs on the floor of
the cell, with four or five darkies, con-
demned to work on the streets, in the

On trial of the two Irishmen for arson,
they were acquitted. 1t does not appear

Rachel and Tanuy ETs,Ier.

Fanny kemble in her Records Of Later Life
soon TO be published IN this country, calls The
undyiDg Dsjszet a marvellous actress and the
most brazen-faced woman she ever beheld
Once when she was acting at Lady Files
mere's, as j uliz, !" 10 The Hunehb0cE, the room
with tne exception of the stage, being dark
ensd, she heard, out of the darkness at her
feet, voice say, 10 vibrating tone which
she never forgot: "Ah b.es, 6ien, tres-bien ~
Ii was Rachel, who, che thinks, exceis Ris-
tori as much in pathetic tenderness as she
'surpasses her 10 power, while Mrs. Kemble

ciined Rachel, one letter tells Us, was act

was because the rival attraction was Jenny

Fanny Kemble are still alive, and 50 are
TWO other famous srtists, OF whom frequent
mention is made here-Fanny Elssler zpd

Partisan Taste Changing.

A Paris correspondent writes that the
Chandelier is distinctly an impure play; that
is to say, although there is nothing shocking
or revolving in the language or demeanor of
the persons, it is impossible to see the piece
played without receiving an impression OF
profound immortality of all the characters in
it. Years ago the Parisians thought it vast
ly fine, laughed at it, even admired the witty
"Jacqueline" and ridiculed her stupid hus-
band. Bot now they turn from i, with a
shudder of disgust. The literary conscience
of the French people has been reawakened.
Jules Claretie, in one of his brilliant ekron-
iqts,s, which he writes for the Temps, alludes
this week TO the great improvement in French
sentiment in the matters Of literature and
art; and, like the true philosopher that he is
does not fail 10 connect it with the growth Of
Republican and liberal institutions. There
would be nothing amazing in the revival
of prudery in literature here. Time
was when the French would not have
an English company, which came to
Paris, repeat comedy, because it was con-
sidered indecent 1t is said by those who
have the patience 10 frequent the cafe con-
eerts that the songs 30 freely sung under the

He was a Boy Again.

"In all his life Ben Hill never did a more
graceful thing" said General Evans in his
funeral Grafton over the late senator from
Georgia, "than when he made his last visit 10
the portrait of his mother, which hung in
one of his rooms. When President Garfield
placed his manly arm around his venerable
mother in the presence of the vast multitude
that witnessed his Inauguration, and kissed
her with lips fresh from pronouncing the
obligation of the Presidential office, he drew
unto himself the warm heart of American
motherhood forever. So when the great
senator went as a child to gaze upon his
mothers pictured face and murmured, Il
will soon see her. he left the sons of this
State and Union lesson OF filial love they
should never forget. The portrait shows
dear, old, good face, well traced with marks
of intelligence. The wrinkles are there, the
stoop of age, and other signs of failing life.
Long since she went away. But the wasted
statesman became a boy again in feeling,
gazed with true, adoring love upon the
portrait, and then above the faded picture
looked with eyes that saw Home and Heaven
and Mother, all in one vision OF transcendent
gloryo

rounded By women, who cling TO him in
manner that suggests the love-sick maiders-
He has the manners of a very young man
toward these devoted women, though in one
respect he enjoys the privilege of old age
He kisses both hands and cheeks whenever
he takes the fancy. Nearly every woman who
sreets him bends low over his hand and
kisses it. There Is a deal more kiss
ing here than one sees in an American draw
ing-room, nearly all the German ladies kiss
ing the hands OF Wagner and Lifzs at greet
ing. Wagner is at least head shorter than
his wife. In his own home he is like
scheol-boy in thess days, even merry among
his guests. His face in repose is expressive
of deep thought, and is a most interesting
face to study. He has fancy for rich and
beautiful personal sdornment, often wearing
velvet coat and breaches, black silk stockings
and fine lace at his neck and wrists, but ordi-
narily he wears the conventional dress He
is very modest in his equipages, in TACT is
exceedingly extraVagant in one direction
and careless in others, 30 that his costly
establishment is BY no means complete in Its
appointments, as such a one would be were
it the property of an American. This Is
characteristic of German homes, even of
palaces, the shabbiest entrances leading to
the most superb apartments, or some portion
incomplete, marring 10 our eyes the whole
effect"

On account of Democratic discussions the
Republicans elect all the officers of Pass
Christian, with the exception of one alder
man.
The Panola Star says "a vote for Manning
is vote for continued Democratic supremacy
in Mississippi; vote for Chalmers is an in
dorsement of the odious methods of Arthur
and Malone"
The campaign in the Second Mississippi
district opens at Holly Springs, September
I'd, when Manning and Chalmers will meet
for the first time in joint discussion. II will
be hard fight.
The signs of the times indicate that the
next House of Representatives will be Dem

she fails to send six Democrats TO the House.

The Hon. II. d. Money is serving his
fourth term i'll Congress, and will be pc.
elected without serious opposition. His
record is unassailable, and high need of
praise has been extorted from his most bitter
political enemies. The continuance OF such
men, though not always easily found, in Con-
gress, will be creditable to the South and well
for the whole country.

Alabama.

As shown by the Montgomery Aduef tise5 3
statement, published in our columns, the
Democratic State ticket was elected by over
$1,000 majority. The whole voting popula-
ton, by the census OF 1880, is about 100000.
The votes for both State tickets together ag-
gregate about $4,000 votes. Substracing
this number from 100000, we have 107, 900
men who did not vote. We presume tb at
this result is due 10 many Democrats staying
away from the polls because they thought the
Democratic ticket was certain to triumph, and
many Radicals thought their votes would avail
nothing TO prevent Democratic triumph, and
many other Radicals refused TO vote for the
Independent ticket, who would have voted
for straight Radical ticket. We do not
approve such neglect on the part of Demo
Gratis. They ought to do their whole duty
and always vote. No Democrat should
shirk from voting, because he imasines his
vote will do no good. 1t always does good
to show the full strength of the Democratic
Democrat.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SUNDAY, !: ;: /: AUGUST %, 1889
THE FIRsF OF sEPTEmBER.

The signs of the times Enthusiastically indi-
cate that the whole country is about TO enter
upon a career of unbounded prosperity. 30
far as Memphis is concerned, the prospect
was never 20 suspicious as now. We believe
that on the FIRST day of September, the com
mencement Of the new business season, our
merchants will make magnificent showing
Of their pluck, energy and enterprise. The
reports from the country contributary to
Memphis, as to the crops, are most crafty
ing snd satisfactory. This informa-
ton has inspired our business men
with confidence, and the APPEAL on
Friday morning will contain the largest
amount Of advertising ever Published IN It's
columns on similar occasions. The burden
of the number will be devoted to the great
material interests OF Memphis, and II possible
will eclipse anv former edition. The mis-
fortune with merchants and business men Is,
that on such occasions they delay handing
in their advertisements to the latest moment
They suffer by this delay, and it works great
Inconvenience to the newspapers, who cannot
do justice to themselves or the advertisers
when a large amount of advertising Is pre-
cipitated upon the publisher ar the latest
hour. 1t is earnestly hoped that those who
intend to advertise in the APPEAL will send
in their favors by Thursday morning, and
we would say that those who do not
propose to advertise will be left in the race
for trade and patronage, as OR city is GER
tainly about to enter on new career OF
prosperity, and no man can expect 10 take
the tide that leads on TO fortune without adj
vertising and making himself known TO the
world as an enterprising, progressive busi

The utxn,auaer, i'm Egypt.

The Gordon and Cameron Highlanders,
who have been cent TO Ramleh to form the
nucleus of Highland brigade under General
Alison, have already figured prominently in
the history of Egyptian warfare. 10 the
campaign Of 1898, under the Leadership Of
Sir Ralph Abercromby, they especially dis.
tinguished themselves, leaving among the
conquered French lasting impression Of the
proves of "those terrible mountain sav-
ages" Bat the most brilliant part Of their
record is connected with the closing years Of
the great Nspoleonic war. In 1913 The
Ninety-second regiment Gordon Highland
ers) bore the brunt Of an attack made by q
French division of 1900 men, under Mar
sbal d'ErloD, upon the pass Of Maya, in the
Pvrenees. On this occasion the regiment lost
two-tbirds Of is entire number, and every
officer of note was either killed or wounded.
The Cameron Highlanders were equally die
tinguished by yalor at Q1atre Bras, the
battle which immediately preceded Waterloo
(June I6, 1879. HIRE they lost their gall
liant leader Colonel Cameron, Of Fsniefern,
who was shot By French grenadier; but The
latter was at once singled out by Cameron's
Highland servant, who plunged right IN
among the enemy to reach him, aud dis
patched him with one blow Of his dirk.
