The Yankee South.
memphis Appeal. /

lNeinpule AppchisI
The impression still obtains that
the southern people still cherish
such deadly hatred to the Yankees
that they will neither smell, taste,
touch, nor handle anything contami-
mated by Yankee hands,. This is a
most egregiQus error. The southern
people love the Yankee. and they
-.sl.ow this affection in "a thousand diff
weren't ways. When they retire at
night they unbotton Yankee buttons
to Yankee-made coats, waistcoats,
pantaloons. shirts and drawers. They
pull off Yankee boots with Yankee
6ootiacks, and divest their feet OF
Yankee socks. They march to Yam
lkee bedsteads, turn down Yankee
,coverlets and Yankee blankets, pros
itrate themselves on Yankee mat
,tresses and lay their heads upon Yam
lkee pillows. The bed bugs are the
only things not made by Yankee hands
and imported from the land of the
Yankees. On rising in the morning
we tread Yankee carpets, stumble
over Yankee chairs and sofas, build a
fire with Yankee coal, taken from
Yankee scuttles. in Yankee CRATES,
catch the ashes in Yankee pans, and
nse Yankee pokers, 1ankee shoNels
and tongs. We repair to Yankee
washstands, pour water from Yankee
pitchers into Yankee bowls, and wash
with Yankee soap; then use Yankee
towels and Yankee tooth-brushes,
Thence we march to Yankee bureau,
stand. before Yankee glass, and use
Yankee combs, Yankee brushes, Yam
kee powder, Yankee cologne. in Yam
kee bottles. We sit down in a Yankee
chair to Yankee table, covered with
a Yankee cloth. Yankee knives and
forks, Yankee dishes and feed upon
Yankee food. We call for Yankee
toothpicks, seize Yankee hats from
Yankee racks, turn the key to Yam
kee lock, open Yankee door, enter a
Yankee buggy, seize the Yankee reins
to Yankee harness, and repair to
Jour place of business, and spend the
day in trading upon Yankee industry,
The south is rich in resources. but our
,people are so fond of the Yankees that
they lavish their wealth upon Yankee
enterprise.

Legislative Competency.

The proposition of the member in
me lower house at Austin, to give the
proposed railroad commission power
0 compel intersecting railroads to
lake connections, if he means con-
ections by trains, shows that he is
Dtally incompetent to legislate upon
abroad matters. That is even more
lbsurd than the old laws requiring
rains to stop at the state line and

Alexander H. Stephens was one of
the first public men in the country
who had the foresight to fear that the
agitation of the slavery question would
ultimately result in civil struggle.
Thus fearing. he never lost an opportu-
nifty of counseling moderation and for
bearance. This, as there can be no
doubt, he did disinterestedly and
without for a moment believing that
the result of such struggle would be
the downfall of the slave-holding
power. In an open letter to anumber
of his constituents, written in May,
1860, he says upon this subject:
"The times, as you intimate, do in
deed portend evil, but have no fears
for the institution of slavery, either
in the union or out of it, if our people
are all true to themselves-true, sta
BILE and loyal to fixed principles and a
settled policy. If they are not thus
true, / have little hope of anything
good, whether the present union Last
or new one be founded. There is
in my judgment, nothing to fear from
the irrepressible conflict of which We
hear so much. Slavery rests upon
great truths, which can never be

HERMAN HAUPT, general man.
sger of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, has rendered his resignation,
which has been accepted, to take
effect November the 1st. He
says his resignation was entirely
due to the policy of radical re-
trenchment adopted by the North
ern Pacific, which practically tied
his hands and prevented the prop
er running Of the road. AT q
meeting of the stockholders they
had decided to cut off all possible
expenses, and he had received in
structions to cut down the force
actually below the necessary num-
bers. The directors complained
that the expenditures were too
much in excess of the receipts.
He explained this by stating that
the road was turned over to the
operating department by the con-
struction department in a very in
complete condition. In fact, as
the parallel rails were laid, so bad
was the condition of the road that,
though trains could be run over it,
they could not be run with any
degree of safety or speed.

F. Alesio, who has been working
on the ranch of Belliomini on the
Carson river, for some time past. had
Leopold Cordelli arrested last Thurs
day, chaging that he had threatened
to shoot him. The trouble arose
about some hogs that belonged to
Cordeili's brother getting onto the
ranch Of Belliomini and doing some
damage. 1t seems that Alesio had
killed one or two of the hogs some
time ago, and had killed another one
on the l1th., and on this day Alesio
and another Italian saw Cordelli aud
his brother coming down the road
near Belliomini's ranch with a shot
gun, and feeling guilty they fled to
the house. Cordelli found one of
his hogs that had just been shot on
the premises of Belliomini. The
day after, to get out of the scrape,
Alesio had Cordelli arrested on the
charge above named.
The case came up in the JUS
tice Court before Judge Hawkins
on Thursday. A jury trial was had,
District Attorney Hazlett appearing
for the State and Goe. w. Keith for
the defendant. The jury failed to
agree and the Court dismissed the
case,

He had been unloading some lun
Der in the afternoon Of the day men
toned, and being quite thirsty after
the work was performed, he went
into the mill and took a drink from
a vessel that he supposed contained
water, but which really contained
diluted acid. He did not drink
enough to do much harm, and a
dose or two of lard oil brought him
out all right. There is no founda'
ton to tho rumor that Mr.. Berry

A Flying Machine.

There 10 in our small community
a gentleman who Is quite genius,
and II is possible that he has solved
the difficult problem of navigating
the air. Unlike many of his pred
ecessors he has not sought to con-
struct his machine after the model OF
birds. but has gone to the brute cre-
alton for his inspiration. Being
mechanic he has long been familiar
with the wonderful power exerted
by vibration, which is so strikingly
exemplified In the damage done by
a dog trotling across bridge, it be-
ing a we'll known fact that the trot
of a dog creates vibrations that are
far more damaging to a bridge than
the passage over the same structure
of the heaviest locomotives.
To be brief he has made many
and varied experiments with dogs
of all description, and has put them
through their PAGES, and noted the
effects until it IS not unlikely that he
has obtained more statistical infer
nation on the vibrations produced
by the trotting dog than any other
person now living. He also finds
the power thus produced to be far
greater than he at first supposed, and
has thought to utilize it in the per-
lection of ariel navigation. The car
he has provided consists of strong
willow basket in which he has Sc
cured a gas engine of one half
horse power; this engine makes 400
revolutions per minute and has in
connection wheel and pinion gear
ed rs to /. This gives a vibratory
motion to a large circular diaphragm
beaten from block tin so as TO secure
strength with little weight; and from
this diaphragm the car is suspended.
| de has made some experiments and
is sanguine that his machine will
work when fully completed. He
calculates the carrying capacity Of
this machine at about 100 pounds,
and proposes to make his trial trip
about the 18th, when the moon will
be full. 1t is to be hoped that he
will be successful, not only for the
sake of science but also for his own
sake, as he is not only q very deserv.
ing gentleman but has been sorely
afflicted with rheumatism for the
last two years. He grows eloquent
and his black eyes sparkle when re-
counting the many experiments he
has made with dogs, and the many
and devious stratigems resorted to
to procure them,

chine may do so by calling at the
