The meeting Of the Sanitary Council Of
the Mississippi Valley,to be held in ] ackson,
Miss, on Tuesday next is, In view Of the
crippled condition Of the National Board of
Health, very important one. The question
OF guarding the entrance to the valley at
New Orleaos against the introduction Of
epidemic diseases will Of course be the
paramount one, and, az the Louisiana S ale
Board Of Health is to be represented al the
meeting, we may reasonably look for a
very thorough, if not an exhaustive discus
sion Of the whole question. It is 10 be
hoped that the conclusion reached will be
harmonious one that shall meet
the anticipations and wishes of the people
concerned. 1t is especially important that
New Orleans shou Id cooperate heartily ard
earnestly 10 whatever may be deemed nee
esssry for the safety of 30 many great and
PoPulous States. We hoTe this VIII be ore
Of the results, and not the least import ant
one, reached by the meeting; but whe her it
is or not, the people Of New Orleans may RELY
upon it that Memphis will take c.re of her
self, aud at any coat Of money or sacrifice Of
time will do all that mortals can to prevent
the Introduction Of epidemic diseases by
river or rail from th at city. Our health and
civic authorities intend to place their rei-
auce for this result on personal gisnce, and
if necessary upon the watchfulness OF skilled
medical man stationed in New Orleans to
give notice of the arrival Of VESSELS from iu-
fectei ports, to report as TO the efficiency of
the LouIsaDa quarantine at the mouth OF
the river, and telegraph instantly the ap.
pearsnce of the first local case of yellow
fever. Memphis il determined never to be
caught mapping again.

PETTIT'S SURPRISE
On Being Gained by barney Hughes In
the Merchants Exchange Yesterday.

A call upon the members OF the Mer-
chants Exchange was made through the
APPEAL yesterday morning, 10 meet at the
Exchange rooms at O'Clock yesterday after
noon, when business of importance was 10 be
transacted. The result of this call WAS a
large attendance at the appointed hour,
smong those present being President John
K. Speed, who did not seem 10 be disposed to
call the meeting TO order, although there
was large working msjority" on hand.
This occasioned considerable curiosity on the
part of those not posted as to the objects Of
the meeting, which began to ripen into pain
ful snxiety until Col. ]. 7. Petit, of Petit,
Sugga & Co., entered the room. Col. Barney
Hug hes, who had evidently been posted, sp-
prosched Col. Petit and addressed him
"Col. Petit, good evening, cir"
"G1od evening. Col. Hughes, how's your"
Sol. Petit, believe you are acquainted
with the gentlemen present, and II is net
necesssry for me To introduce you"
81 think 1 have been here long enough to
become acquainted"
"That's all right, colonel, but what 1
wanted 10 say 10 you is that the brokers OF
Memphis are 90 psFa'yz=d with delight al
the SUCCESS of your visit 10 Nashville in heir
hshaif that they did not yet record their
speech, and l suppose when they record their
rute, they Will express their gratitude IN
becoming manner. In the meantime, they
have imposed upon me the pleasing duty Of
acting as their coronet. The merchants of
Memph feel under obligations TO you for
your efforts 80 well directed in the Interests
Of the commerce of this city on your recent
visit TO Nashville as chairman Of the COM
miItee from both exchanges, and AN here
TO express TO you their sentimsnts-as you
stuck to them thes, they now dssire to stick

A Col. Hughes concluded, he handed to Col.
Petit a handsome ebony walking cane,
mounted with massive gold head, elegant
| ly carved, bearing The inscription, ITO J. T.
| Petit, from Merchandise Brokers, March 81,
| 1888"
Col. Petit received the beautiful present
with becoming modesty, but did not get of
the old stereotyped expression of "taken by
surprise, etc.-it vas not secessary-that ex.

detail OF his eountenance Lesuing back

went on, and above the crack of the re-

"SNiag yer pardners, allemsnd left, steer to

as this would stimulate the interest of The

that the Correspondent who described the
