The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-04-09

General Rathbone TO Paris will do 3d. The
latter has borrowed interest in its possible
bearing upon the open executive session
question.
The calendar OF the House shows that all
the working days OF next week have been
parceled out among the committees on
Pacific railroad, Territories, foreign af
fairs, public lands and agriculture for ac-
ton upon measures reported by them.
But the actual disposition of the time is
likely to be very different judging from
the proceedings OF the past week. The
legislative work will open with the House
constructively in the legislative day OF
Wednesday, April T. Mr.. Taylor's propo-
sition to go into committee OF the whole
TO debate the direct tax bill will probably
meeet with approval, and for day or two
a fictitious progress will be made. When
the phase is reached where motion to
order the previous question is in order II
any regard shadfor the sentiments express
cd by the opponents OF the tax bill, Il will
soon become evident that q conclusion is
us far off as on last Tuesday morning when
the bill was first called up, and roll-call
will follow roll call with the monotony
which characterized last weeks proceed
ings.
A faint hope is felt in some quarters
that the appropriations committee will be
able to break the deadlock by securing the
consideration OF one OF the appropriation
bills now on the calendar, but the Rcpub-
lican members profess ito be will
ing to antagonize any such effort and they
undoubtedly have 1t in their power 10 do
so successfully.

RIOT AT KILRUsH, IRELAND.
The Popuiace Charged by n Regimen,
With Fixed Bayonets.


KILRusH, April Son Saturday night
some policemen who were trying to pre-
vent the erection OF platform for the
meeting announced TO be held today were
pelted with stones by mob and were
compelled to charge the crowd. Many
civilians were badly injured.
Mr.. Tanner, member OF Parliament,
held q meeting outside Macroom at
o'clock this morning. He there burned a
copy OF the government proclamation. At
2 o'clock pm, the advertised hour, he at.
tempted TO hold another meeting, when
the police removed him from the ground.
There was only slight excitement.
About 5000 persons belonging 10 the
various league branches Of Kilrush as
sembled at $50 p. m. There was large
contingent on horseback. The police, led
by Magistrates Welch and IRWIN, charged
the crowd, injuring many. A number OF
triumphal arches were torn down.
Father Glynn, OF Kilmihill, was attacked
by two policemen with rifles. A farmer
ielled one policeman TO the ground with a
black thorn stick A riot being imminent
the Berkshire regiment, with fixed bay
onets. led by Captain Lynch, charged the
crowd and many persons were badly
wounded. Order was somewhat restored
on the crowd being appealed 10 by priests
and Messrs. Redmond and Chilly, mem
bos OF Parliament. Mr. Redmond then
attempted TO organize the meeting which
had been heretofore announced, but was
prevented by Magistrate Irwin. Mr.. Red
mond protested that the governments
action in proclaiming the meeting was
Illegal, and together with the priests adj
vised the multitude 10 dispeme.
Iater-Ien persons were seriously
wounded with batons and bayonets, and
two mounted policemen were injured with

ssRIe and Bob and Jim -,

Yes, sir. we're sailors children,
We live there by the sea,
And father went OFF with the feet
A month ago may be,
And mother feels SO badly
To have him gone away;
II 'twasnt for us children here
think she'd cry all day.
You see there's me and Bobby,
And then here's little Jim,
He always hangs back cause he's 'fraid
That folks will speak to him.
He never knew his mother,
She died SO long ago,
And then his father, too, was lost
In last years awful snow.
And father said as long as
He'd q sailors heat in him
Thered always surely be place
To shelter little Jim.
He thinks he's ours for truly,
Ana laughs and acts so glad
When father comes, you ought to see
Him hug, and call him dad"
But often in the summer
We children like to 60
Towhere the little churchyard lies.
The sailors church, you know.
His mothers there, so always
We put some flowers from Jim,
We want him to remember her,
Cause she remembers him
When father sailed he told us
To watch for the new moon,
For when it hung there in the west
The feet would be back soon.
Last night we saw it shining
AS bright as bright could be,
And mother says the "Lively Jane"
Will soon get in from sea.
You see it's named for mother,
And father says he'd "think
A boat that had name like that
Would never want to sink"
We've come back here to get some flowers
He loves the violets so.
The dasies amt Of much account
Down by the sea, you know.
30 II you'll come and see US
The place amt hard to find,
That little brown house by the rocks,
The cliff is just behind
And II the Lively Jane"is in
With father-yOu'll II see him.
But, anyway, you always can
Find me and Bob and Jim.

Horses Slipping ON Asphalt
Pavements.

To our suggestion made last month
that the asphalt pavement is the best
the objection is raised that horses
slip upon asphalt. But on what kind
of pavement do horses not slip? The
spectacle of horse slipping and fall
ing upon cobblestone pavement GER
tainly is not an unusual one. 1t can
be witnessed almost any day of the
week in this city of Philadelphia.
That q Philadelphia horse will slip
upon an asphaltum pavement more
than on cobble pavement is true !;
but this is only an argument in favor
of the asphalt. The reason why he
slips on asphalt is that he
has always been used to cob
bles, and he has yet to learn
how to carry himself on asphalt.
Washington has many miles of as
phalt improvements; so has Paris,
but horses in those cities do not fall
more frequently than they do here.
A horse is as much a creature of habit
as man. He needs practice to learn
how to manage a good thing after he
has been for years used to bad
thing. The protests against the as
phaltum pavement might have some
weight were there no long stretches
OF such pavement anywhere in the
world. But the experience of the
cities we have named is a complete
answer to every objection.-[ Manu-
facturer.
