dead is recorded. An executor who spent
$500 for black horses and nodding plumes
at the funeral of a bankrupt who died in q
tenement house, will have to pay 1875 oil
the bill out OF his own pocket. When no
creditor is defrauded costly funeral is un-
called for; and when there ia not money
enough to pay the dead mans debts, it is
dishonest.
There has been a furious storm in Hunga-
ry, near Pesth. Entire gardens of gra pes
and fields of corn were totally destroyed, and
strong trees were torn up by the roots. Hail
fell in such quantities that large heaps OF
stone, oftentimes foot deep, lay upon the
ground. More than FIFTY houses were part
" destroyed. Birds and hares by the hun
bred were killed, aud many workmen en-
gagged in the open field, who were not warned
of the storm, lost their lives at the hands OF
the hail.
Chinese merchants met in conference few
weeks ago in London, at place called the

and to send letters to various clubs in China,
recommending emigration to London and

Signor Vecchi, to whose father this hoe was
given in 1861. It is the identical implement
with which General Garibaldi worked in his
garden at Caprera. On giving it To the elder
Vecchi in 1861 Garibaldi wrote: 'Since il

but to procure from the earth some increase

As fruitful IS thy purple vine.
For I have held thee in my heart
Through years when thou hast sadly erred,
Because knew thy better part
And knew the current that still stirred
Within thy veins was blue. and true,
And steadfast to the cause thou deemed
The best. Then who says we shall rue
That thou were faithful, when faith seemed
Another name for suicide?
Not weakly shrinking from the field,
But bravely meeting death with pride,
Because thou couldst not learn to yield.

For was not thy kin nor kind,
Unless it was through sympathy
That made me to thy faults seem blind
A leaning to the weaker side;
Thy hot impulse still kept in view.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER II. 1882
ruREENrH DIsTRICr.


The canvass for Congress in this district Ia
RAPIDLY assuming shape. The Republicans
have two candidates in the field, William X.
Moore and Thomas A. Hamilton. In ihis
county the vote will be nearly equally di'
vided. The Low-tax Republicans insist that
they have gained strength since the August
election, and as subsequent events nave only
served 10 widen the breach between the fac
tions, this district will unquestionably elect
a Democrat to Congress. This is regarded
by the National Republican Committee as
one of the doubtful congressional districts,
and money will be lavishly spent with the
view of purch asing harmony. Moore is in
high favor with the managers OF the corruP-
ton fund at Washington, and if money
can heal the divisions in the Republic
can party in this district there will
be perfect harmony on the day OF the election.
The Low-tax Republicans cannot be bull
lied, caioled or purchased. They resisted all
the threats and Establishments OF power OF
the Federal ring pending the August cleo
ton, and time has served to intensity their
hatred. The breach between the Republicans
in this county is deep, wide and impossible.
1t is impossible for the warning factions to
shake hands across the bloody chasm. These
divisions in the Repubs4ean party OF this
district secures the election of Democrat,
and, as consequence, there will be scram-
BILE for the nomination before the District
Convention. The Hon. Casey Young and
Charles B. Smonton are the only announced
candidates. Either would be acceptable to
the Democracy of this district, as both
have served in Congress and both
have made satisfactory records. Colonel
Young served four years, and stood in the
front rank of the ablest representatives from
the South. He has experience, ability, COM
mands the attention of the House, and as he
is very much liked at Washington, no one
could surpass him in usefulness as a men,
Der of Congress. Mr.. Simonton has made
pretty much the same sort of record. If
nominated and elected he would add to the
reputation he has already made IS prac-
tical, solid and efficient legislator. If the
convention should come to a deadlock in
making selection between these two as
pirauts, it will have abundant material out
of which to make 4 good selection

The striking feature is that of the twelve
States where drinking saloons are least nu-
merous, every one is Southern State except
Vermont. We do not consider Maine and
Kansas to be properly in the list, as drinking
saloons are prohibited in those States. The
last State on the list, the State in which the
number of saloons is least, is South Carolina
This is encouraging evidence of the progress
of the temperance movement, and will stimu-
late the temperance organizations to continue
their pleading and explaining. The Column
bus Times, in printing the list, says: "From
the twenty-6fth State down is list of South
ern States with only three States of other
sections amidst them, and South Carolina,
the State that the political fanatics of the
North paint as black as Stygian darkness,
we find at the bottom of the list. Ali honor
to South Carolina for her stand in the list;
all honor TO the Southern States for their
positions on the roll. Let not the fanatics of
the North charge US with intemperance, I'M
til they improve their own States. Let them
cast the beam from their own eye ere they
attempt to pull out the mote from osrs."
This is well put, but we hope that the Times
thinks that we ought to pull the notes out of
our own eyes, whatever our Northern neigh
bora do about the beams in theirs

a French I.va.lon of NewrounaIana

Intelligence was received at st. Johns, n.
F., last night of an outrage of almost unpar-
alleled daring committed on British terri
tory by the commander OF French naval
coast guard. Having dropped anchor of
Jackson's Arm, situated on the northwest
side OF White Bay, he went on shore with q
company of marines aud hoisted the French
tricolor. On Cumberland Stage he erected
two temporary monuments, one on each side
of the arm, emblazoned with the insignia Of
France. The greatest indignation has been
aroused by this unwarranted act. A portion
of the British North American squadron and
the tenders Griffin and Firebrand have left
for the northward, and Commander Fame
will shortly have an opportunity of investi-
eating and officially reporting the affair to
the British admiralty.
