FLEET FOOTED FREELAND

with Honor.

The celebrated race horse, Freeland,
the acknowledged king OF the turf,
arrived in the city yesterday on the
the steamer City OF. Cairo, and received
an ovation at the hands OF Mr.. Corri'
Ran's friends. A band Of music was in
waiting at the landing, and as soon az
the great race horse disembarked
lively air OF welcome greeted him. lie
seemed to be duly sensible
OF the courtesy, and pranced
and Capered about az IL to
testify his appreciation. A scarlet
blanket covered him from the snow
and chilly atmosphere, and with q
rider in green and white sash, Oorri-
gan's colors, he was directed on his
triumphal march Though the city.
Behind him were Swiney and Isaac
Murphy, also OF the Corrlgan stables.
Three carriages brought up the rear,
containing the following named gem
tlemen: Col. H. A. Montgomery,
Napoleon Hill, Ed Oorrigan, Peter
Tracy, Gen. r. F. Patterson, Barney
Hughes, O. B. Galloway, Ed X. Hart

down Main TO Besle, mp Beale to Mad
ison, and thence to the race TRACK.
At the Peabody Hotel, after the horses
had been led away, bumpers
of champagne were drunk IN
honor OF the occasion, and
pledged TO the success Of Memphis a
a winter resort for horses. Mr.. CORR
gan seemed highly pleased with the
compliment paid his horses, and wa
loud in his praises Of Southern hospi
J. tality as evidenced by the reception

THE SNOW STORM.
The Condition of the streets at
Midnight.

The snow storm was the theme Of
general conversation last night and
ELECTED all manner OF comment. In
point OF priority, it beats all previous
records. In 1854, on the 9TH OF Janu-
ary, there was fall OF 9.65 inches OF
snow, and in 1885, on the I'd Of Janu-
airy, a fall OF 9.75 inches was expert
enced, but up to yesterday there
has been no year within the
last decade when genuine and able
bodied snow storm made its appear
snce at 30 early stage OF the winter
season. At 10 o'clock last night the
fall had reached depth of five inches
and was still coming down with un-
abated vigor. At / O'Clock this
morning there was a perceptible,
diminution in the volume OF
the fall but no cessation
in continuity. The street car tracks
were obstructed early in the evening
10 a point that made travel difficult
and almost impractieable. The Main
street line was blockaded for half an
hour shortly before 10 O'Clock pm,
but the snow was cleared away and
travel resumed. The Madison and
Shelby street lines did not run
any cars after 8 o'clock. Other
lines were all seriously inconvenienced'
AT midnight snow plows were at wolk
on all the tracks, but it is certain
that there will be no serious Interrupt
ton to street car travel today

Martin Hooker, aged 90 years, yes
terdsy obtained Judgment against his
father, Peter Hooker, for Sl75. The
two were engaged in the butchering
business. OF the Sl75, s92 was tor

services rendered. The old man tried
10 work the gratitude racket az an of
set to the claim, but il was shown at
the trial before Justice Fleming that
the father had reliquished all claim to
his sons services when he WAS only
10 years Of Rge. A lady in Little

who really sold out his son for that
amount, II was only after attaining
his msjority that young Hooker came
to Memphis and commenced business
with his father.

1t is stated with authority that the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
Railway Company will at an early day
submit proposition to the people Of
Bolivar county, Miss, to vote 500, 600
in bonds for line of road to run
through the western border of the
county, starting from Huntington and
running, we presume, to the northern
end OF the county, and thence east to
the main track at some point in Goa

through an already well settled and
very fertile portion Of Bolivar county,
and will give to the planters on the

NEw York, December S.--Negotia-
tons vera completed today by which
the Richmond Terminal secures con-
troll Of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad, one Of the princi-
psi railway systems in the South.
Later Vice President Bryce, Of the
East Tennessee railroad, states that
the reports that the control Of the
company has been sold 10 the Rich
mond Terminal people is not true. As
to whether negotiations are now pro-
crossing or have been completed, he,
however, had nothing 10 say. Vice
President Logan, OF the Richmond
Terminal, declines to make any state
ment in Ebe matter.
The aboye kilograms were received
early yesterday evening, and created
no little surprise when an APPEAL re-
porter inquired as to the probable
effect of the deal 0ae gentleman,
prominently identified with one Of the
important roads that enter the city,
expressed the opinion that the deal
simply means that the Richmond Ter
minhl is looking this way end
AND WANTS TO ooME IN.
The system now practically controls
every avenue OF entrance into the
States Of Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Gle. rsia Once in con-
troll of the Est tennessee, Virginia
and GeoIgis, it's connection with
Memphis becomes matter OF Deces-
sity, and must rebound 10 the advsn-
tage of this city. There can be no
other motive for the deal than that l
have sug ested, and it adds but
one more link to the chain
that is drawing Memphis to
that position OF importance in
the railroad world, which belongs TO
it by reason OF its geographical posi-
ton and growing commercial suprem'
acy.
Other railroad mea who we're utter.
viewed expressed similar views, and
all agreed that tn proposed deal BODIED
nothing but good for Memphis.

A German writer, in dealing with the

heat is intolerable, and at night the
rooms are often unpleasantly cool. lie
recommends double walls, with a space
of six to nine inches.
II Is however remarked that this ar
r%angcment would so increase the cost of
IRON dwellings rs to bring them into the
category of luNuries, while the timber
harhors so many insects that the double
walls would not perhaps be a decided
gain in the end. For similar reasons

THREE OF FOOD.

a Little Chemistry in Brief.
Three kinds of o are made use of
in the body. All the others are merely
accessory and play an unimportant part.
The first variety contains the element
nitrogen, which forms four-fifths of the
air we breathe, and is essential to the
making up of the muscles. The typical
o of this kind is the white part of
eggs, the albumen-hence all these foods
are termed albuminous. 1t includes the
lean parts of meat, the curd of milk,
the greater bulk of beans, peas and len
ills, and is ound in every vegetable that
grows. Sometimes in very minute guam
tity, as in c%abbages, turnips, spinach,
etc; at other times in abundance.

in which they exist in ~water-hence are

Fatigue of every form is weakening to
the memory. Impressions received
when we are tired are not permanently
fixed in the mind, and their reproduc-
ton is often impossible. Fatigue is the
result of an excessive activity Of any
faculty, continued until its stored-up
nutriment is exhausted. After n period
OF rest. and n return TO normal condi-
tons. the memory also returns. A very
interesting illustration Of the result Of
fatigue upon memory has been given by
Sir Henry Holland. lie says: 81 de
scended on the same day two very deep
mines in the Hartz mountains, remain
ing some hours under ground in each.
Whis in the second mine. exhausted ly

impossibIlity Of talking longer with the

Every German word and phrase deserted
my recollection; and it was not until |
had taken food and wine and been at

turned"
A fact like this. and many Others
which might be mentioned. goes to show
that there is a close relation between

THE LEADER, for more than a year
past, has been disposed To treat the late
Republican administration Of this terri.
tory with great %leniency, ignoring its pub
lie and private errors and covering these
with the cloak of charity, in the hope that
n kind providence and a national Demo.
cratic administration would soon rid the
body polite of the encumbrance. The
men who have been benefited BY the for.
mer dispensation do not like the new
order of things, and instead of. retiring
to private life with good grace, they seek
TO retain control by the most corrupt
means only known to men stepped in de-
pravity aud wickedness. TIE LEADER
gives due notice to these men aud their
allies, that unless they will call a halt and
abandon their ncfarious schemes. it will
tear the veil of prctense and hypocrisy
FROM their guilty frames and expose them
to the public view in their true state of
hideousness and moral deformiiy. Facts
that have been known To The LEADER
for Il long time will then be brought to
light and the community at large will
stand in Amusement while meditatinp
