A MYSTERIOUS FEMALE.
An Educated. Well Dressed and Elegant,
but Evidently Insane, woman
at the City Hospital.

Chief Davis received letter this morning
from james Watson, OF Guntoun, Miss.
giving an account Of the visit of a strange
female to that place a few days ago. Mr..
Watson says: "a few days ago lady about
forty or foriy-fve years old, well dressed.
with fine gold watch, and from all sppear-
snces belonging TO an elegant family, visited
this place, and her manner was 50 peculiar
as to attract general attention. She talked
well and connectedly and her conversation
was not at all that of a demented person. She
would go
"oFF INTO THE WOODS
and tramp through the country ell alone,
going out at all times OF the day and night.
Finally she was so much worn and enfeeblsd
by this UNDUE exertion that che could go no
longer. Lest Saturday we forced her TO re-
main at her room in the hotel, where We
kept her until the following Monday, when
We put her on the train for Memphis She
said the EpIscepal Church there would take
care of her. She claimed TO have one son at
Nashville and another at New York. We
telegraphed and wrote to Nashville, but
were unable TO gain any clew to her identity
or history. She did her beat Sll the time to
keep us from knowing where

To the Editors of the Appeal:
CoLDwATER, Miss, May 24-Having been
entertained and instructed by the APPEAL
since boy, now look upon its weekly visit
as household necessity. I have always
not only admired its fearlessness but its skill
as well in the exposure of outrsges commit
ted upon the rights and libert ties of the
masses by the oligarchs and monopolists that
now infest and threaten the peace of the
whole land. There seems to be tendency
in the minds OF those that are high in office,
as demonstrated by their actions, to believe
people are created for the government, and
not the government for the people; and that
taxation, being necessity, is a blessing. l
wish to animadvert upon this theory and the
result of its practice as experienced by
many of your readers, not with any hope,
however, of convincing the promu gators ef
their errors, fer they have reasons more
weighty than arguments made on paper, but
to call the attention of my fellow farmers
TO the knavery and demagoguery OF the So
called statesmen Of the day. Government is
formed for the preserv ition of socie.y. Its
primary object Is 10 secure the greatest good
10 the greatest nun Der, ami when ihis end il
not attained ii ceases 10 deseTv. the respect
aud supper; Of its IA. mbers. l. is self evil
dent that esch and every member
must surrender MS natural TlSnts 10
the supreme power of the State in
the establishment of all government, and 10
have them appropriated 10 few privileged
citizens for their advancement, is not only an
advantage but a positive wrong, and withal
so eIasperstipg that the genius OF the Ameri-
can people will not brook it always. When
(but in the last twenty years) in the history
of this country has there been such immense
fortunes amassed by the few, or go many dis
turbances and deprivations among the labor
| ing class2 And what kind of legislation
have we had in the last two decades? Does
not the present state Of affairs show every
| act of legislation TO be 10 increase the rich
mans wealth and the poor mans poverty
| The millionsire of this country can boast of
| millions, yet is there anyone SO ignorant as
to believe that according to the natural law
OF increase, and without appropriating by
| unjust means the labor and property OF 9TH
ere, that they could have been worth mere
than, say, $4,000 each, which is putting the
.upposition in it's most favorable lig ght. ii ad
they never lived the aggregate intrinsic
wealth If the country would, at mo.t, be bu
few thoussnd dollars short. Justly, there
can be but one way of SECURING property
by steady labor at an honest occupation
Speculation Itself is abcminsble, bat wheI
com bin.d with legislatiou it is tyrSsny; ans
indeed, the cunning Of the one sised by tn
treachery of the other has completely robbe'
the laborer and husbandman of every oppor
tunity of advancement.
