Memphis Appeal: Georgia lias reached the dignity of being “the great melon centtr of the South,” and it is anticipa ted that before many years an annual groat melon pilgrimage to Georgia dur- tbe melon season will be organized by our colored citizens, with low railroad and Bteamboat fares.

Why Did They Allow It 1 The first vehicle to cross tho Brooklyn bridge was a baby carriage, and its oc cupant was little Mabel Morrison of New York. We are sorry for that child. Slid will bo told of that occurrence till sho comes to regard it as the most important event of the century, and then she’ll go to telling all her friends of it and will keep reminding them of it till they’re so tired of hearing it that they will wish her in Troy, nnd she’ll ho a disadvantage to herself as well as a nuisance to every body else. Why did her purents allow it? The Gambler’s Dread.—It is said that the greatest dread of a gambler is that he will he paralyzed. They nearly all expect to die from a shock of somo kind. It may come from the fact that a f reat many of them have gone that way. f a man with a withered arm or leg should happen to a gambling house the dealer would quit the chair. Another dread of gamblers is a man who comes in to play with a cane in his hand. That is regarded as bad luck to tho house.

But a million stamps are a great many, you know.” The ludy pointed out a pile of at least thirty pasteboard boxes, all filled with stamps, neatly tied and labeled, in bun- dl< s containing fifty and a hundred each. Tho boxes wero marked with tlio quan tity of stamps therein, ranging from 6,000 to 50,000 per box. “I can vouch for tho accuracy of the figures," resumed tho lady, "for they have all boon carefully counted. Tlie great bulk of the stamps are, of course, of tlio United States, but every nation on tlio globe is represented. I know of only one person who lias secured a col lection of the full million nnd she lives in Now York. Several years ago n gen tleman of that city offered a premium of $500 to any one who would bring him one million stamps, procured by his or her individual exertions. That prize the lady I referred to received, and lie then moile a second offer for another million, but this so far has not been claimed.” “But how do you procure all these stamps ?” BHked the reporter. “Well, my friends in tho Army and in business saved stamps and sent them to mo. Besides, I have received many from England, Germany, Egypt—in fact from everywhere. I can complete my million, I think, in a short time—if I have the patience to keep on counting.” “What denominations are they princi pally ?” “They are of all denominations, and [licludo a quantity of Internal Revenue stamps.” Any that are torn or mutilated Miss Newbold discards. Many have been subjected to a steaming process to remove the mucilage, but generally they are in the same condition m which they were when removed from the envelopes.

A letter from Denver, Col., says: In the Criminal Court hero tbo trial of Willinm II. Bush, ex-Henntor Tabor’s pnrtuer iu the Windsor Hotel, and until recently manager of tho Tabor Opera House, on tlie clmrgo of bnving embez zled $2,000 from the Opera IIoiiso while manngor, was concluded. Mr. Bush was declared innocent after tlio jury hnd been out five minutes. Tho suit was brought by Mr. Tabor ns tho result of n quarrel between himself and Hush, heeanso of tho refusal of Min. Bush to assoeiato with tlio now Mrs. Tabor. It was the gonornl impression that tlio prosecution was malicious nnd groundless. The Denver Club, the most prominent organ ization of tlio kind in Unit city, has ex pelled Mr. Tabor from jts membership, adopting at tho same time a resohitipn tq tlio client, that the .expohMou is dtte to the fact that lie married a woman witli whom tlie members or thcirfnmilies could not associate. The significance of tho club’s action is seen in the fact that all the prominent politicians of Denver nro members of tlie club, including Senator Hill, Secretary Teller and Henry It. Wnlcott. It is understood Mr. Bush will now bring suit ngaiiiHt Tabor for $50,090 for ulleged malicious prosecu tion. The trial lusted two days and hoH excited a great deal of interest. Not Illiterate,—According, to Joa quin Miller, General Joseph Lano, years ago a United States Senator from Ore gon, so far from being tho illiterate per son his political enemies described, was one of tho best read men he ever met. He taught him to read Plutarch and Marcus Aurelius nnd a dozen other classics. General Lane knew them so well, adds Joaquin, “that if I misread a single word as we lay under tho oaks— he looking up nt tho birds—110 would correct mo. He wrote in tho old-fash ioned, full, round style, every letter like print, not even a comma missing in let ters of tho greatest length. Using tho simplest Saxon, I10 always said much in little—a duty of every writer of every thing.” Tho only specification of Lane's Tlio Arkansan Farmer. faithfully, in due season received bis illiteracy was that he “ spelled god with fiouble reward. a little‘g.’” A cattle-dealer stopped nt a house of an Arkonsnw small farmer, and called to n man who was drawing water with an old-fashioned windlass that cried out with an alarmingsoronk at every turn of tho ornnk.

Grand Tusk observed, “Behold how Nimble cried in reply, “Behold how agile nnd entertaining I am I” Each was eager to know which was really superior to the other, nnd which quality was tho moat esteemed by tho wise. So they went to Dark Sage, ail owl that lived ill all old tower, to linvo their claims discussed aud settled. Dark Sage said: "You must do as I bid, that I may form an opinion." “Agreed,” said both. “Then,’’saidDark Sago, “cross yonder river, and bring me the mangoes on tlie great tree beyond.” Off went Grand Tnslt nnd Nimblo, but when they came to tlio stream, which was flowing full, Nimblo held back, but Grand Tusk took him upon his linclc and swam across in a very short time. Then they oamo to tlio mango tree, but it was very lofty and thick. Grand Tusk could neiiher "touch the fruit with liis trunk, nor could he break tho tree down to gather tho fruit. Up sprung Nimble, and in a trice let drop a whole basketful of rich, ripe maugoc-a. Grand Tusk gathered the fruit up into his capacious mouth, and the two friends ciobboU tho stream as before. “Now,” said Dark Sago, “which of you irf tho better?
