The Songs my Mother Sung.

But never one Ia sweet
As those my mother sang to ne
When sitting at her feet,
Ny thoughts go back to childhood years
When hope and were young,
And AZ of old I hear to-day,
The songs my mother sung.
At twilight's hour often dream
am a child once more
seek the house where was born,
pass the open door.
There mother rocks beside the hearth,
Her little ones among,
And life forgets it's cares to hear
The songs my mother sung.
Oh, long the grass has grown above
That loving mothers face,
But still in faithful hearts she keeps
Her old, her dear old place.
No other songs can be 80 sweet
As those we heard when young,
When sitting at our mothers knee
The songs our mother sung.

Why You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. As we'll expect the l..
sanitary condition OF city to be per-
feet with detiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such compli-
Gated piece Of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
Of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs In
about two and half minutes, and that,
on its way, 1t makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other soli5s
and fluids Of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
"The Life of the Body"
Is 1t any wonder, then, that If the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti-
tuents, you suffer SO many indescribable
symptoms?
Ayers Sarsaparilla stands "head and
shoulders" above every other Alter
ative and Blood Medicine. AS proof.

G. G. Brock, Of Lowell, Mass, says:
"For the past 25 years l have sold

the best remedial agencies for the cure
of all the diseases arising from impuri-
ties of the blood are contained in this

Eugene I. Hill, M. D., 381 Sixth Ave-,

Mn PARNELL has somewhat broken the
force Of his admission that he had pur.
poscly ialsidcd the truth Of a speech he
had made in the House Of Commons in
1881. In that speech he did not say,
as the Atiornoy-Gcnoral made him say,
that there were no secret societies in Ire
land at that time, but only that there
were no ribbon" societies This was
strictly true, as the ribbon" organization
has had no existence in Ireland since early
in the lO's. Mr.. Parncll, in making this
correction, read an extract from the speech
which Attorney-Genoral Webster literally
ialsiGcd in order to entrnp Parnoll into the
admission that has spread CONSERVATION
among the friends Of Ireland everywhere.
But, learning this lesson OF cross-cNamin.
ing dupliciiy, Mr. Parncll has since been
more careful. Pressed by counsel one day
this week 10 answer whether he had
ever denounced ouiragcs, Mr. Parncll read
extracts from speeches delivered by him
In 1880, such ~: "lct us remain within

people viii not attempt 10 initiate the VIC
lcnoo and Illegal attitude OF the Govern
ment." "Thc League Is perfectly pcacca

Behind the charge on the police station
docket against l. S. Baldwin, malicious
trespass," there is a combination OF cir
eumstances that may wind themselves
around the young man and make him
weary OF life.
He was arrested yesterday afternoon at
the instance of Mr., r. s. Taylor, OF Taylor,
Dufiin & Co.
Baldwin was found in fourth-story
room over Taylor, Dutlin & Co.'S store,
Front street, with the door locked. His
discovery was accidental, being made by
the firms porter, who had been sent up to
examine furniture stored in the room and
belonging to Mr.. Taylor. 1t was related
to the police after Baldwin's arrest that he
had been frequent visitor to the store,
had key that would fit any
room in the building, and he
was suspected OF various theits
that had occurred during the past
four weeks. For example, Mr.. Taylor
himself retired one night recently, leaving
$40 or Sl2 in his pockets. The door was
locked, but next morning the money was
gone all the same. An employe OF the
firm, who won $25 one day during the
races here, did likewise, and his money
went likewise. They suspect that Bald
win secreted himself in one OF the unoccu-
ped rooms. waited until favorable OPP
portunity, and went through the sleeping
occupants.
The prisoner was seen in his cage by al
APPEAL reporter. lie is a handsome
young fellow, inclined TO he dudish in his
dress, and is about twenty-six years OF
age. He related q somewhat confused
story, relating more than once that he had
no business in the building. As an
excuse for being there he stated
that the building was owned by
his employers, Messrs. Cecil Mosby
4 Co., and was formerly occupied
by them. lie was with the latter firm
during its occupancy OF the house, and he
had served in the office. A day or two
since gentleman whom he did not know
came in 10 him, during Mr.. Mosby's alb
sence, and wanted TO rent a room. lie
was ignorant of the torms-and ignorant,
he said, OF the existence OF those rooms
and was familiarizing himself with
them when arrested. A lot Of old
lumber in the room where he was
found attracted his attention, he entered,
| closed the door behind him, and they
said il was locked" Baldwin said he did
not hear any one approach the door and
try TO open II, as he was reading from a
book he found there. 81 had secured two
offers on coffee" said lac, "was waiting
for instructions, and did not care TO make
any moro offers until | had heard from
them"
"When did you come to Memphis, and
from where?' inquired the reporter.
last September, from Louisiana"
"You were employed by Cecil Mosby &
Co. before their removal, were you not?'
ayes, sir"
"Didn't you know Of the sleeping-apart-
ments above, then?"
"Well, had seen a number Of gentle.
men around there who said they had
lodged in the building but had never
been up TO see for myself"
Baldwin said he had recently made ar
engagements 10 become more directly inter
ested in the firms business, but had paid
nothing 80 far beyond balance owed him
by the firm for commissions on sales.

A BLUFE.

Tho action of President Clarke, 'of the Thomas
Iron Company, Ia announcing a reduction oil sL5O
per ton In the price Of iron for May and June de-
livery IL simply a big "bluh" II Is desperate
game TO play and the Thomas Iron Company will
50 find H. The southern people" are undoubtedly
erOwdng the Northern YOUNGSTERS 10 the wall be
cnuse the South can beat the North making iron
and selling H. When President Clarke says, 1--WE
propose however, TO hold our Market" he talks
nonsense. Buyers will take iron from those who
can sell II for the least money. That Is business.
The Thomas Iron Company may try 70 stop the In
cyitabe, but whenever their business gets TO that
point that they must sell iron for less than II costs
TO produce IT, then they will stop making H.
That also, Is business and II Is exactly what will
come TO pass Ii they intend TO meet the oOmpct-
ton of Southern iron In tho spirit Indicated
ShcGdd EHtopriV.
This is the word with the bark on it,
and We predict only foreshadows what is
TO come. The Southern iron makers can
not always be tied down by the mandates
and menacng orders OF the Northern iron
men who have presently control Of the
market. As water seeks its level, 80 does
supply meet demand, and so the price Of
a commodity is regulated by the cost Of
production. The iron men OF Birming-
ham have admitted, we believe, that they
can make iron for from IS TO 50 per ton,
while in Pittsburg and Chicago, or any.
where else at the North, it cannot be
made for less than Sll per ton. This
is great difference. But there
are those who assert that iron can be
made In tho Birmingham District for less
than 500 per ton, or half the cost Of the
Northern furnaces This being so there
can be no doubt that engine, boiler and
steel rail manufacturers will not DO slow
TO find II out aud become customers in the
cheaper market Neither Mr.. Clarke nor
any other man can stop tho way nor any
trust or monopoly. The future OF iron
and steel depends solely and altogether
upon the rapid increase Of facilities for its
manufacture in the South. Tennessee and
Alabama especially.

tyranny and despotism in every form,
and closing his remarks with praise Tor
their study self-reliance, bravery and vir-
tue, while concealing none OF their faults.
The speaker let fall one remark which in
dicated the humorous vein. In speaking
OF Scotch history, he said that they at one
time had no name for money and knew
nothing Of its value, and that some OF the
descendants, nowadays knew little OF the
value of a dollar, being hard TO convince
that il is not worth five.
The Congress then adjourned to meet
again at 7:30 o'clock tonight.
Congratulations and letters Of regret
were received from the following parties'
Sir John Macdonald, of Canada; Lords
DuiIerin and Wolseley, OF London; Wal
lace Bruce, OF New York; the Hon. G. w.
Childs, OF Philadelphia; Ex-President
Cleveland, President Harrison, DIR. I. De-
Witt Talmage, and Nj. J.. Oshaughnessy,
OF Alabama, and other distinguished
,nt!emen from different portions OF the
world.
During the interim between the morn
ing and evening meetings the visitors were
entertained by being driven around to
Southside Park, where more than fifty
well Dfeu anu lTalHeu uOtleIS, ucuuSu Wy
old Tom Hall, Brown Hal and Duplex,
were led around the track for their inspec-
ton.
Others, among them Mr.. Bonner and
DR.. Hall, were driven out to Zion Church,
about seven miles from the city, where is
10 be found a large church and thickly
settled neighborhood, composed exclu'
sively OF members OF the Scotch-Irsh race,
all the families comprising this settlement
being more or less related.
AT THE EVENING SESSION

The Rev. DIR. Wilson Phrander, of Sing
Sing, N. Y, delivered a brief extempo
raneous talk.
Robert Bonner, of New York, made (
few remarks and said he liked Columbii
because they called him General dowr
there, while Captain was his title farther

effort 10 show that American educationa

him. The Cheyennes are in sympathy
with the Sioux, and the sun dance will
certainly be held unless the Indians are
oyerawed by the presence of a large body
OF troops The Grow outbreak OF last sum
mer had its origin in a sun dance gotten
up by Grasshopper and held at the place
where the Sioux and Cheyennes propose
to dance next. week 1t required seven
companies OF United States troops TO break
up the dance and escort the Sioux in a
body back to-ther reservation. From
that dance Sword Bearer, the Crow medi-
cine man, returned to his people, bringing
wonderful white medicine that caused a
pot Of cold water TO boil when thrown into
II. Thus convinced OF Sword Bearers
supernatural attachments, the Crows fol-
lowed his lead in open revolt. The Fed
eral authorities will endeavor to prevent
another grand distribution OF mixed seid-
litz powders among the Sioux and Chey-
ennes, and should the dance come of, the
attendance will be largely OF military
character
