The idea that it is impossible TO prope
ships at the rate of forty knots an houl
is being discussed in Europe. Professor
Thurston, of London, has recently taken
up the subject, and concludes that it is
possible. The ship that he proposes is te
be 800 feet long, 50 feet beam, and q
feet draught, with a displacement oil
about 3S, 900 tons. He estimates the
power required to propel her at 250.0O
horses. He calculates that her ma
chinery and boilers will weigh only sixty
pounds per horse power, or 1900 tons il
all. She would burn about 175 tons O.
coal an hour, 5000 tons a day, and 10. 5G
tons for a voyage from L%iverpoolto New
York. The total weight of fuel and ma
chinery would be about IS. 900 tons
leaving 10000 tons for the ship and
cargo. For the hull he allows 2,0V
tons, leaving 5000 tons for crew. pass
engers and cargo.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The roofs of New York are very inter.
esting. Much that would never be sus-
pected by a stranger in the streets goes
on upon these aerial platforms above tls
heads of the masses. From the Brook
lyn bridge l have seen that topmost
stratum of the city fairly alive with peo-
pie on a fine autumn evening. On one
roof were to BIZ seen come shop girls
waltzing to the music OF a concertina in
the hands of a young man seated on the
raised wall-top between that house and
the next. On another was n merry party
of children filling the upper air with the
melody of their singing. Over yonder
were two lovers, hand in hand, talking
earnestly; and SO in n place after an
other were to be seen persons wiser than
their fellows, seeking the quiet and com
paratively pure air above the uproar and
stagnant atmosphere of the lower stories
and the streets.

this family had gathered n place unique
among the house-tops of New York. An
iron framework enclosed the great sheet
of tin, and from its posts was hung a
pretty awning of blue and white striped
canvas. In hanging baskets and in great
pots were broad-leaved tropic plants, and
two or three birds in pretty cages swung
among the flowers. A complete set of
furniture, all of cant or wicker work,
except the table, completed the appoint
ments. There were rockers and easy
chairs and settees of split cane in which
to loll and lounge and read and sew.

1t is said that a mule can not bray il
you tie a weight to his tail and hold it
down. This was touchingly illustrated
in the cavalry movements that preceded
the second battle of Manassas. Gen.
Stuart, with q large force Of cavalry
m~anueuvring around the retreating army
of Pope. got caught between twocolumns
of the Union troops, and was Obliged to
conceal himself in a dense wood between
two parallel roads along which the
enemy were %retreating. He had to lie
low all night until the columns passed
by. Messengers that the Union generals
sent to each other through the woods
were captured and held with as little
noise as possible.
One great difficulty was to keep this
mules in the ordnance and commissary
wagons from braying and thus calling
the attention of the foe. For this pur-
pose Stuart ordtrt8a man TO be detained
10 stand by each mule and whack him
with a stick as soon as he offered to
bray; for a mule, like an orator, requires
a certain preparation before beginning
his neat and appropriate vocal exercises.
There is a preliminary protest made with
the ears, and certain solemnities of the
nostrils, an expression of sorrow over
spreads the countenance, then the tail is
lifted. A bray does not break forth from
the mule. 1t begins way back in the
abdominal viscera and comes gradually
up. Now, as soon as the cavalry mules
began to prepare for a bray. whack!
whacki would go the sticks, and the
bray would be suppressed-and thus all
night. 1t was said that this was need
less severity, for it would have sufficed
to tie a brickbat to the tail of each mule,

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAI---FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 49, 1856.

among Others a knock-down that was
explained by the McGlaw adherents
as having been caused by the wet and
slippery condition OF the spot where
he fell.
ROUND 8,
The fighting began without caution
and was fierce from the beginning, but
McGraw delivered his blows with such
rapidity, force and effect that Doyle
became groggy, staggered. reeled and
finally fell Keeling TO the ti)or as limp
as a rag. He was picked up by his
seconds and thrown sc MCGraw who
knocked him fiat with apparent ease
and furnished a perfect illustration OF
what lie called wipiDg the floor with a
man. Doylee picked up again
and again knocked down, this
time moaning. "0h, oh !" in the most
piteous tones, IS if MORALLY injured,
He was carried TO his corner and after
much rubbing and sponging revived,
but he evidently had enough, for he
took Off his gloves, threw them to the
floor, and went through the antics
ususlly described as throwing up the
sponge. His seconds, however, en-
treated him to fight one more round,
telling him they lai detected signs Of
weakness in his antagonist. He finally
consented, and when time was called
came to the scratch.
ROUND 9TH AND Last.
For q man who looked as near dead
as Doyle did when be Law on the
ground, it must be confessed he acted
sufficiently spry in the ninth round to
give color TO the theory thai he was
either shsmmipg in tue eighth round
or coward to the backbone. After one
or two feints McGraw knocked Doyle
against the ropes and before he could
recover hit him sgain. The men got
together, the refei ee shouted break,
but MCGraw could not resist
the temptation to pummel
him once more. Foul was
claimed by Doyle's seconds and
allowed to the general disgust tf all
present but Doyle's friends, as the
ltt,er was awarded the fight and got
the money. II was lame and im-
potent conclusion to what promised to
be fight to be decided on its merits.
The genel a sentiment Of sporting men
who were not interested either way is
that il MCGraw is allowed lalf a
chance he will thug the life out OF
Doyle.

FIENDISH CRUELTY OF A TROUS.
DALE COUNTY MAN.
Particulars Of the Crime With Which
James ID. Ward Of HartsVille Is
Charged.

Mr.. w. NJ. Hammack, an attorney
OF HMtsville, Tenn, and employed by
Mrs. James u, Ward 10 prosecuts her
husband, arrived yesterday with a
special depuiation authorizing him 10
take charge of Ward, who, NJ men,
toned in the APPEAL OF ye,tsrdsy,
was arrested Wednesday at the Louis
vile and Nashville depot.
The details Of the crime with which
Ward is charged, as given by NJ.
Hammack, paint him rs one of the
vilest wretches with whom the law
ever had 10 deal. Ward owns 1000
acres OF the richest land ia Trousiale
county, and mas fine isrm well
stocked with blooded cattle and
horses He was married at nineteen
years OF age TO an innocent and pref
tY girl, three years his junior, by
whom he has two remarkably hne
boyF, one thirteen and the other fl
teen years of age. For twelve or
fourteen years past they have net
lived happily together owing - the
husbands insane thirst for whisky,
and during that time he has fro.
quently beaten his wife, irail,
delicate little woman who bore IL in
silence. While the last heavy snow
lay over two feet deep on the ground
Ward went home intoxicated, and be-
gan quarreling with his wife, who
tried to get out Of his way. He struck
her two or three violent blows and
she ran out into the hall, Ward seized
a shotgun and was in the act OF pull.
ing the trigger when his wife sudden
ly turned, ran under the mu2zle and
Knocked the barrel up The Il ad was
discharged into the wall, tearing away
the lathing and pla ter and the gun
fell from his hands. The frightened
woman ran out Of the house, followed
by the brute, who threw her down in
the snow ana began beating her with
his fists. With the energy which
comes of despair the distracted woman
defended her life, delivering at least
one blow with such effect that her as
sailant's hold was broken and he fell
to the ground, stunned for the mo-
ment. Selling her opportunity she
made her escape to the barn and con-
cealed herpeif in the hay in the
loft so edectuslly that Ward,
in his drunken search, was un-
able TO 6nd her. He secured
the neighborhood for miles around,
Mrs. Ward remaining securely con-
cealed for six OF eight hours, until altar
nightfsll, when she ventured out and,
walking four miles through the snow,
safely reached the house of a neigh.
boring farmer who took her under his
protection. When Ward became sober
and realized what he hsd done he fled,
taking with him his two sons who are
now IN Helena, Ark. They are i'm
poitlnt witnesses and will be taken
back to Nashville. IL is not yet
known whether or not the crimiL al pro.
ceeding against Ward will be pushed,
but suit for divorce has already been
begun, aud his property amounting to
about $3.50 has been attached by
his wife. Ward left for Nashville last
night in charge Of Mr.. HammaCk.
