Oh. the winter, how it dragsf
And the spriugtime. how is lags!

With their clothing worn to ragsl

And keep one warm.
And hold six months together.

Projections.

The proprietor Of a popular article in
general use is subservi0g the best interests
Of the public, rs well as protecting him
self, when he exhausts al methods TO
counteracs the slick trick Of the sharpers,
who pirate upon the name Of his goods
and the colors OF his wrappers in order to
swindle the public. Sol Coleman, the
proprietor of the celebrated Ko-Ko Tulu
chewing gum, has at last accomplished
plans to circumvent the counterfeiter and
protect the public sainst fraud. In addi.
ton to securing patent right on the name,
he has received full registration papers
from the Commissioner of Patents on the
inside aud outside illuminated wrappers
which inclose the Ko-Ko Tulu chswing
gum. This protects him from infringe
ments by the parties who used similar
name in sound 10 the word Ko-Ko and
the same coiored wrappers, to enable
them to palm eff an feTior article of gum
on the we'll known merits OF the Ko-Ko
Trickery is now scotched like snake, anc
the purchaser OF the celebrated Ko-KC
Tulu chewing gum can now rely on OBJ
tanning the genuine article in ali its purity
and parfectlOns.

Memphis. Birmingham and Atlantic

4 represe ntative of the APPEAL yesteT-
day cal ed ON Mr.. w. p. Dunavant, one of
the owners OF the Memphis, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad, to know if anything
additional had ira, spired regarding the
extension of that road to Birmingham.
Mr.. Dunavant said there was some mis-
understanding about the arrangement
which had been made. There had been
no sale, and he and his associates did lot
propose to sell, but a syndicate had been
formed, and the road would certainly be
extended. Mr.. Dunavant spent several
weeks in Richmond, Va, and, among
others, interested Mr.. James B. Pace of
that city. The road is to be reorganized
on November 10th, and the new syndicate
will proceed 10 extend the road sixty miles
from Holly Springs to point on the Mo-
bile and Ohio road. In the course OF q
year the road will be extended to Birming-
ham, Ala through the great coal and iron
section, where Mr.. Pace and other Rich
mond capitalists have invested a good
deal of money. This road, during the
three months of its operation last winter,
brought to Memphis from the Northwest
IL. .492 cars of grain and meats, more than
5000 of which were delivered to the Mem
phis and Charleston road, and by that road
and its several connections transported to
Atlanta, and thence distributed to the diff
ferent sections of Georgia and Alabama.
The cost of the survey of the Memphis and
Birmingham road will be 5000, and the
building of the road to Birmingham will
cost about S4,0O0,OO0. The corps OF sur

The interest in the Depew letter grows
every day. To-day we print interviews
with Hugh Mccullough, who was Secre-
taTy OF the Treasury in Johnson's Cabinet,

OF Illinois, also with Chauncey Depew,
Gen. B. F. Butler and Col. Frank Burr of
Philadelphia, who gives synopsis of a
chapter on the relations between johnson
and Grant in his forthcoming book, The
Life and Times Of Grant. What these gentle
men have to say Z III great interest, espe-
cially the statement of Ex-Secretary McCul-
Tough, who is confident the charge against
hr. Johnson will be utterly disproved.
As he says, "a proposition involving 80
much would have been spoken Of and
talked about, and hardly kept a secret
these nineteen years.T 1t is, taken with
al the facts of SIR. Jonnson's life, too
monstrous for belief.

SOME influential capitalists are inquiring
into the praetieability of establishing a
line of fast mail steamers between Cincin-
natl and New Orleans, the boats to be of
capacity for about 500 tons of freight and
$50 passengers. There is no reason why
such line should not pay. Before the
war there were many lines of packets run
ming to the Crescent City, among them
one or two each from Louisville, Cinein-
natl, Nashville, St. Louis and this city.
They paid then and could be made to pay
now, notwithstanding the close competi-
ton of the railroads. We believe it is
worth while trying TIE venture and that
the people in all ine river towns would
patronize such line literally.
