Gambling i'm Mem phis.

Does piety make men good? Does
protection protect? Does prohibition
prohibit? are all questions that are
meeting with attention, and now can
be added, Do Tennessee gambling
laws prohibit gambiing?, There are
those who say they do not, but only
prohibit the playing of certain games
of chance, for which twenty other
games can be substituted. 1t is to
be hoped that this statement is in
correct, for unfortunately there are
too many ways by which Memphis
young men can go to the devil with
out that. 1t is humiliating to have
to record that it is said there are
grave business men in the city who
contend that gambling hells are nec-
essary as an inducement to people to
come here and do business, as such
persons like little recreation while
in town. Whoever said that was
either a gambler himself or an imbe-
cile who knew not the meaning of
the words he was using. Few expe-
rienced merchants desire the custom
of men who frequent the glambling
hell, they know that to give such
men credit is to incur ultimate loss.
They know, also, that such places
tend to demoralize the youth of
Memphis, to make them unreliable
and untrustworty. They know, also,
that the gambling hell adds one
more to the temptations that may be-
set their own sons. To excuse, on
plead for, or disguise the truth about
these hells is inexcusable, and man
who can be found guilty of doing SO
had better be avoided; intimacy with
his thoughts will be evil Memphis
Appeal.
The Appeal is level on this point.
But then the Appeal favors high Ii
cense for whiskey-the root of all
vice, the parent of gambling, prosti-
tuition and kindred sores on the body
polite. Why exert its power and
influence in pinching the twigs and
pruning the branches of this deadly
upas tree; why not apply the knife
at the root of these evils? Acquiring
taste for strong drinks is blazing
the road that leads to all the stations
on a downward career.
When a country merchant visits
the city on business, his first care
should be to ascertain if the middle
man he proposes to deal with is So
Der; if he CANDLES; if he patronizes
bucket-shops, and deals in futures;
if so, he should avoid him, for in the
end he will be sure to be forced to
make an assignment and close busi-
ness.

Now that the sweltering season is
upon us, the following advice from
the Boston Herald, if followed ac-
cording to directions, may prevent
any further display of beligerent ire:
" snow take the shady side of the
street; go slow; eat lightly; skip al
coholic drinks, don't worry; hang on
to your temper. 1t is not the wealth
er that heats the blood half so much
as the fuel, wet and dry, that man
puts into his stomach, or the exercise
he gives his body and mind"
The Osceola times., 1883-07-14

How hard some are in their judg-
ment of others! How quick to imsg.
inc that liberal actions were born Of
mean motives! How ready to resent
imaginary neglect and to magnify
mole-hills into mountains, to the pre-.
judice of their neighbors! Goethe
by no means u high-toned moralist
himself, presents a consideration fit
ted to cure this evil disposition when
he says:
"If God to man were as severe
AS you and ! are. when we jar,
We both had scanty comfort here,
But Ho takes men just as they
are"
Yes; God considers that men are
dust, have many weaknesses, and so
deals mercifully with them. And
men should consider each others in
firmities, credit each other with good
intentions whenever possible, and
judge; that is charitably. johnson,
harsh as he sometimes was, said in
one Of his best moments that "eyery
man probably knows worse of him
self than he certainly knows of most
other men," And Is it not also true
that many men, conspicuously known
as severe in their judgments, would
be forced to- walk with blushes
of shame on their cheeks if the re.
cord Of their thoughts, motives and
actions were legibily written on the
backs of their coats? Surely, self.
knowledge, to say nothing Of Chris
tian love, ought to beget charity
which thinks no evil, feels kindly,
speaks gently, and acts courtcously
toward all.

FORBlDDING LOTTERIES.

Postmaster-General Gresham will
to-day forward to the postmasters at
New Orleans and New York copies
of his decision in the lottery case,
together with letters directing those
postmasters to discontinue the deliv-
cry of money orders or registered
packets to the agents of the Louisiana
Lottery company. Counsel for the
lottery company to-day submitted to
the postmaster-general the question
as to whether, under his recent de-
cision, registered letters addressed to
an agent of the company in Wash
ington could be withheld. This
question the postmaster-general has
not yet decided.

ately large from the Erenmg Telegram,
This gentleman gave 100000 to the
Irish relief fund. On his recent Wis
it to a fashionable German watering
place Mr., Bennett had a fancy for
having Strauss Band, the most ia
nous band in Germany, to play daily
on his balcony for himself and friends
during their ten days visit. This
little freak cost him in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. Happy man.
One can only shrug ones shoulders
and contemplate.
Mr.. James w. Mackey is another
millionaire. On his wife's return from
her late European tour the Custom
House officers valued her wardrobe
at 100000. He is the owner of a
bonanza mine in Nevada. His faith
er was laborer, and was tilling the
ground, when click! his spade struck
something hard-silver-and in a
couple of weeks he was millionaire.
Mr.. Mackey has purchased Victor
Emanual's country seat in Italy for
100000.
Last but not least, / will mention
the Astors. No bonanza here, no
specializing. The Astors belong to
the real old Knickerbocker families,
and their money is derived from real
estate. AS long as an Astor lives
that Astor will be a rich man, and
his descendants forever. The orig
inal Astor was among the Dutch set
tiers before the revolution. The
grandfather of the present Astor,
however, owned, at one time, almost
the whole island of Manhattan in the
form of an immense farm, for which
he paid originally five or six hun
dred hard earned dollars. This farm
stretched from what is now Bleecker
street to what is now Harlan. 1t
was famous for growing the most
beautiful fruits and flowers. Imag-
inc the strawberries that hourished
where now stands the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in all its glory, and take breath
and try to estimate the man who
owns three or more square miles of
the city Of New York, where one
can not live in a decent house unless
one can pay s3,OOOa a year rent. The
wealth of the Astors is said to far
exceed that of the Rothschilds.- II

Yellow Fever and Cholera

Cholera is raging in Egypt. AT
Damietta ninety-six deaths were re-
ported last Saturday, and at Mansu-
rah forty-eight; Samanoud, six; Sher-
bin, sin, and one at Alexandria.
Several cases of yellow fever are
reported from Galveston, Tex, on
board the bark Salomc, and also at
Ship Island, on board the Norwegian
bark, Vega. On board the bark
Berna, which put in the southwest
pass below New Orleans, the cap
tain's wife, the steward and two sea-
men are sick with yellow fever.
