In Persia, as in Turkey, if husband wishss
a divorce from his wife all he has to do is Z,
order her out Of the house As a check upor
the too free use of this arbitrary proceeding
however the PeTsians have constituted very
curious and ingenious custom. While tn,
MOh4mmedan laws make it SO easy for q hus
band 10 put away his wife, it Secures TO hel
all her own property. Under no con
sheraton can the husband deprive the wifi,
Of her own property As a precautiou
against divorce, then, the husband IN the
marriage contract is usually required te
promise "a considerable sum of money as q
wedding gift to bis bride This money is moi
Forthcoming at the wedding nor expected
but it Is placed to the wifes credit as a deb,
owed to her by the hushand As in case of
lase,rr2.. Ibis money wo,id have To hs paid
over the amount is Usually made So large
that it is virtually beyond the husbands
means 10 that case divorce to him would
mean financial rum. and as a Persians
pocket is the most susceptible part about
him, 1t follows that there is no divorce
Owing TO this ingenious arrangement
although mere angry order to begone is a
legal divorce, there are fewer divorces in
Persia than in the United States Thomas

COMING BEFORE I'll co'NciL
some important Matters Likely I" Nv

some Important Natter w
Acted Upon by the CIts rathefs 70
night.
Tonight occurs the regiar mohthly
meeting of the city cound' anu 'ilfee
very important matters are Aely 10 come
up for the councils conservation and
action. The first and most important of
these will be the seating of carries Evans
as alderman from the Fiftl ward. Mr..
Evans has been twice electe TO the seat
over Mr. Ferguson, the preent incum~
bent. On the occasion OF the regular
municipal election in April h was elected
by enc vote, but the coucil on the
ground Of technicalties, dec ned to con-
firm him. Finally after Tch dispute
and when the case threatenc to involve
the city in serious litigation the council
acted wisely in throwing the 1exed ques-
ton back upon The voters the ward
for settlement. At the first tection, Mr.
Evans was the labor candid He in tri>
Angular fight; at the special eection held
June , he was nominated al! supported
by ii democratic party OF the ward
and IL ; time he was elected BY twenty
nine Il. iority. Tbs settled the question
of election beyond dispute or controversy.
| 1t is understood that Mr.. FegusOn and
his friends have attempted to hatch other
schemes to keep NJ Evans out of the
seat he is legally and Justly entitled to.
but nonc of them vii, probably be con-
sldered by the council if brought up at
all. Til people of the Fifth ward have
espresso preference for Nj Evans
as against Mr.. Ferguson. and they will
see to it hat he is seGtei as tbcir repre-,
sentative and 1t will be dangerous pro-
ceeding l. tritle with this tine
AnOther matter to cone up will be
that OF The confirmation of thr Do,
lice. Th- mayor will BE- obliged to 90
through the somewhat embarrassing or
deal OF cnntessiDg the immurtlity of the
men he srlbbornIy upheld AMI endorsed
until forced by public exposure to make
chs nges. The new men, il should he
said, however, are all competent and fit
officers am every one should be com
hrmed. Il opposition to any Of them
arises ii vii emanate in SOM Of the dis
charged men prompted by vinaictive
spirit
Another matter which is verv ant to
come before the council is the piscIDg of
gates on either side OF the railroad tracks
al the foot Of TwenIy>fourth street and
which il is necessary to cross Ia driving
on or off the slough bridge The ARGUS
has alluded 10 this important matter in
the past and has always urged the ntces-
slty of some such Precaution The loca-
ton Of gates there to be closed at all
times when trains are passing, will do
away with the constantly impending
danger and may avert great injury and
even loss OF life.

CHARlLS NE MEMpHLS.

When manufacturers, desiring to move
into this part Of the country, ask Memphis
TO bid against other cities in the same re-
gion, they should remember that Mem
pbis, as manufacturing site, has great
deal more by way OF advantage to offer
than any other city within radius OF 200
miles. We have more railroads centcring
here than any other city in the South. 1t
is at the head OF all-tho- year.round naviga-
ton Of the Mississippi river. II is, there
fore, the very best distributing point In
the South. II Is in the very center OF the
tobacco and cotton regions. 1t is in the
very heart OF tho finest timber region in
the world. 1t has plenty Of cheap coal
and iron. In these respects il has induce
ments to offer which cannot be equallcd
by any other Southern city. Therefore
Memphis has reason 10 ask that il bc not
placed in the same category rs other cities
Nith ~ W ~ NuNoNi'h VI
facilities It is the great central dis
trbuting point for the trade Of the South
west, M the magnitude OF It's general mer
chandisc business demonstrates. Taxes
are low and ground room may be had
cheaply. All these advantages can DO
shown indisputably TO manufacturers, II
they will but visit the city, where they
may be surs Of hospitablo entertainment
and cordial welcome. The solidity OF
our banks and merchants tho continuous
growth Of our city, the splendid recovery
II has made from misfortune, tho admir-
able character OF our municipal govern
ment, are each and all evidences Of the
satisfactory environment which awaits the
immigrant manufacturer. II is clearly UNI
Just that Memphis should bc required
to bid against other cities within the radius
we have indicated on anything like equal
terms.

and labor OF picking. So, naturally, he
desires little moro than the actual water,
and right here begins the discussion.
Sometimes they laugh it out, sometimes
they swear 1t out andsometimes they agree
to disagree and Ieate the cotton. There
are several liberal minded shedmen in
Memphis who are willing to recognize the
TACT that bale has TO be docked for the
Inferior cotton as,well as the water, but
there are very few who will dock suffi-
GENTLY to insure the shipper against loss
every time. Theythink the shipper ought,
rs they say, "to give and take" in the
question of loss. Surely this Is not quite
as II should be. Ii there is to be any loss
II ought not to be tho shippers, who only
takes wet cotton TO oblige ,he factor II is
the factors duty to have all bales in first
class condition and 10 pick off any inferior
cotton, but II the shipper, to save the
factor the trouble and expense OF drying
out, either by frequent handling or pick
ing, agrees to take the cotton at dockage,
surely this dockage ought to be suifi-
cient not only to cover the water
but also inferior cotton and even
a little compensation for saving the trouble
OF picking or drying by handling have
cause the shedman refused TO dock IL
thirty pounds return from the pickery,
with a loss Of forty or fifty. OF course the
pckings are worth something, but do they
cover the cost OF picking, not taking into
account the additional loss in weight Of
ten or twenty pounds? have also seen
other cotton, lett out from similar cause,
kept in the shed 10 dry out. Five or six
men are set 10 work TO pull off the side
pieces and then scrape the bale little to
let the air strike in. and then for a week
or more these bales stand about on their
heads to dry out, all the time occupying
good space on which six times as many
might nave been stored and, finally, they
have 10 be docked for mud and dampness
under the hoops. They may then only
lose twenty or twenty-five pounds, but
more likely thirty or thirty-five, and how
much is the labor and space occupied
WORTH
To save time, space and expense, dock
cotton heavily and ''let her 60" or else
build more warehouses so that cotton will
not be stored in the street or on open lots
and exposed to rain. A GoTToS MAN.

To the Editor OF the Appeal.
Sir II you will permit me, | wish TO do
little growing through the columns Of
your estimablc paper for the benefit Of the
cotton men OF Memphis. Does it not
strike you ms a shameful state Of affairs,
that while Memphis boasts Of being the
next to the largest cotton market on the
continent, the valuable staple Is here
treated more carclessly, and subjected to
greater risk Of damage from exposure TO
weather than in any other town or city
in the south. The very poor excuse is
made that receipts have been larger than
expected, but the same state OF Affairs has
continued for two years without any evil
dcnce Of a disposition 10 erect adequate
additions 10 the present warehouses. II
the Memphis factors do no bestir them
selves there is a great probability that both
planters and buyers will begin to avoid a
market where their interests are 80 little
