What About the Brakemcn2

Has the travelled reader ever OBJ
served that in about four cases out OF
five the men at the great railway de-
pots, who are selected TO call out the
names Of the railway stations which
departing trains will reach, seem to
have been singled out for the express
reason that they may not be under
stood when they make their announce
mentsl We have heard these profes-
sional orators go over their routine
calls in q way that defed all compre-
hension. Instead of pronouncing
names in accordance with the rules oil
the English language, they seem de-
sirous OF showing how often and how
dehantly their mother tongue can be
put TO shame. The man who cries old
rags and sweet potatoes ON the street
can't hold a candle TO the average
train caller; the latter has copied the
former and left him far behind. II is
a wonder railroad managers don't stop
the ~unmeaning jargon OF these fellows
or put people in their places who can
and will enunciato their words with
sufficient c~learness end distinctness
that the average traveller can under
stand hem.-lancaster (Pa.) New Era.

The Gaelic Singer.

Gaelic song, of which the people are
so fond, and which they sing SO admir-
ably, are no less remarkable for their
freedom from the slightest faint of inn
purity or indelicacy than for their ma
tive vigor and simplicity, whatever
the theme. When we assert that they
are always well sung, the reader will
probably wonder how this should be
possible when we have at the same
time TO make the admission that even
the most delightful singers are as q
rule utterly destitute of any scientific
knowledge OF music. OF musical rules
and musical terms they know moth
ing. Song is with them as with the
wild birds of their native woods and
wilds, an instinct, an inspiration; and
it is simply the fact, strange as it may
seem, that the native singer who
knows not a note Of music from the
scientific standpoint will render a
Gaelic air more musically and better
in every way than the most accom-
plished musician you can persuade to
attempt it. The philosophy and
motif of a Gaelic song, grave and gay,
are so closely intertwisted, so init
mately blended with the melody, that
only q native singer can give them
full musical %utterance; and, better,
paradoxical as it may seem, when he
is totally ignorant of music as written
and taught than when he has had any
amount you please Of scientific
training Good Words.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Am Appenl TO slcmphis.

To the Editor OF The Appeal.
Sir--TnE APPEAL being friend to the
interest Of the people Of Mississippi do
not feel like am intruding on your valua-
BILE space to say few words about the
Memphis, Oxford & Columbus Railroad.
This road was TO run from Memphis in a
southeasterly direction, entering our county
at the northwest corner, passing through
Oxford and continuing the same course to
the southeast corner Of the county, thence
on by Houston TO West Point, from thence
TO Columbus. The counties along the line
and Memphis agreed to subscribe $780, 900
to the capital stock OF the road. Memphis,
at a meeting OF her business men, agreed
and pledged her part, and 1t looks as II she
has gone right square back on her promise.
With all her pride, and new bridge about
TO span the father OF waters, she has re-
fused 10 come up 10 her agreement, and
the road has about fallen through. II will
be many day before the people along the
line forget how they have been treated by
Memphis, and dollars Of trade will be
turned toward New Orleans and elsewhere
that would have gone TO Memphis. Her
people who made the pledge should at
once raise the money and show a willing
ness, whether the road is built or not

To the Editor of The Appeal.
Permit me to offer solution OF the
vexed question rs TO the reduction OF the
police and firemen Of the city declared
yesterday by the Taxing District Commits
soners. am satisfied that the Commits
sioners did what they deemed their duty
under the written law MS they construe 1t,
therefore have no criticism to make oil
their action. Yet at the same time | real

men and policemen in the line OF duty.
The Board of Underwriters have COM
planned heretofore Of the inadequacy of the
fire department in the city, and anything
like a reduction in that direction must as
suredly result in an advance OF rates on
the part of the insurance companies, which
those who have to foot the bills could i'll
afford. Now, my idea is that q compro-
mise can be effected that will be satislac.
tory TO all parties concerned. Let the
Commissioners prepare a contract, TO be
approved by the City Attorney and placed
in the hands Of the Chief OF Police and the
Chief OF the Fire Department Let this
contract be one between the men en-
ployed in the two departments and the
Taxing District. Let its provisions be as
follows
/. Each policeman and fireman is to oh.
ligale himself TO work at the salary paid
him before the Davis-0dlum bill became a
law.
3 Each policcman.and fireman pledges
himself not to attempt, under any circum-
stances or conditions, 10 collect by legal
process moro than the amount OF salary
paid before the passage Of the bill to in
crease salaries.
3. Each policeman and fireman releases
| the Taxing District from all liability for
salaries above tho amount paid before the
passage OF the Davis Odlum bill toincrease
salaries.
4. Il shall be the privilege Of the Taxing
District Commissioners and OF the chiefs OF

MAGGIE M1roHnLL.s DIVORCE.
She is Granted 1t by Chancellor McGill.
at Trenton, N. j.


New York, April 6.-The Tribune Of this
morning has the following special from
Trenton. N. j.: "a divorce has been
granted Maggie Mite hell, the actress,
from her husband Henry I. Paddock, by
Chancellor McGill, the decree having just
been filed in the Chancery office in this
city. The evidence in the case was
taken in New Jersey and New York and
the compliments main charge was
adultery on the part of her husband in 1882
and 1884 with one Minnie +. Moore, who
was living in Syracuse. Maggie Mitchell,
about year and half ago, found letter
addressed to her husband. She thought 1t
was a business letter, and was shocked tits
contents. 1t was written by Minnie Moore,
whom she subsequently met In
Syracuse. The latter acknowledged
that she had been intimate with
Paddock, and furnished Miss Mitchell
with what the latter considered convinc-
ing proofsof her husband infdelity. Then
Miss Mitchell instituted the proceedings
for divorce. Paddock filed an answer to
her bill OF complaint, denying that he had
been guilty OF adultery with any one, but
he failed TO take the witness stand in the
case. Minnie Moore said, under oath,
that he had been intimate with her.
Oranda Moore, Minnie's mother, testi-
| fed that she knew Paddock and was aware
of her daughters meeting him and Of their
intimate acts. Both declared that they
did not know that Paddock was married
man until 1884, when they saw him last.
1t was put in evidence by Maggie Mitchell
that there was no collision between her
and Paddock to secure the divorce. Min
ME Moore has reformed since her marriage
and volunteered TO become a witness in
the case. The decree was signed by the
Chancellor upon the advice of Advisory
Master S. NJ. Dickinson, OF this city, to
whom all the evidence was submitted.
Maggie Mitchell married Paddock on
July Is, 1869, and lived with him until
the discovery OF the Minnie Moore letter.
Their residence, she stated, had always
been Long Branch. She was true and
faithful wife and had supported him out
OF her means. She had frequently heard
charges affecting his character, but did
not put any faith in them until Minnie
Moore told her story. The Chancellor
acted promptly, in view OF the fact that
Paddock refused to testify in his own be
hall and consented to submit the cast
without argument OF counsel.
Paddock, in his answer TO the bill o
complaint, asserted that his troubles will
