FALLEN WOMEN Editor Avalanche He that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her The deep sorrow that is ielt lookingout on a calm moonlit scene where all is still and beautiful where the picture of something beyond us away from us and yet where we wish to go is simply beautiful pathetic The angry rush of the billows of life dashing against oue another the surf which throws some poor waif on the desolate shore the wail of anguish as the realization of desolation is found in being alone on a desolate island alone with God So with the fallen creature the one who is lost! finds herself alone her dearest treasure gone the spirit dream of youth the angelic light that lit up her youth gone! gone! and alone alone the cry of anguish is heard and the ministering spirits have organized a home for fallen women: and man moralizes under the name of Philo! That man can realize a nature? Never! never! That man Christ Jesus our Savior man and God understood nature and When man sullied with all the impurities of his naturo gloating in the vain disguise of so-called society which hides his crimes behind a veil can deny the inspiration of God is not wonderful! It is the outgrowth ot a nature that never felt the touch of a Wordsworth au Irving a Scott No! no sign of the troubadour in him no danger of knight errantry his escutcheon can be plainly seen from the earth earthy But woman child of the skies your home is yonder beyond the clouds your emblem the of Nut Cracker A NEW FINANCIAL SCHEME Editor It would be asking of Government no more lor it to advance money upon lands than upon bonds and if this system is not changed let the farmers of the country demand that the Government exempt their lands from taxes and advance money upon them taking mortgages as security The farmers would be content with the money thus loaned by Government and not ask the privileges of controlling'the currency nor even interest on the mortgages but would use it in building up the productive industries of the country A Pauperised Landowner Germantown December 25 1877 AnD8EnENTS MARY ANDERSON This brilliant actress whose remarkable suocess in every part of the

Frank Morton 647 Edward Gilmore 89 George Bynum Charles Kin 706 Hike to Trask tjoas John Led into the back room of a Beal street saloon last night an Avalanche reporter yas told a story of damnable loathsome irutality which it is an outrage almost to decency to repeat and which though the fendish act of which it treats occurred over a week ago has by some means been kept in the dork nntll now (Seated in that back room was a poor shriveled little Italian and bis equally poor rti rivalled little wife With them was a demare pretty little Italian girl just 12 Years of age the warm blood of Southern skies slightly tinging the dark olive of her cbeek was said the guide laconically was the natural exclamation of horror and surprise for surely it could not be that God had ever allowed man to become so much a brute as to desecrate the purity of that frajJ little girl the gentleman your said the guide to the dark wrinkled father He had been but eight months in America and bis mother tongue was all that the poor man knew so through tbe guide as interpreter he told the following miserable story He was a poor Italian emigrant Antonio Galvi by name He had come to Memphis with his wife and daughter Finding nothing to do in tbe city he moved out beyond Nonconnah creek four miles from the city and commenced providing for his family as best be could by making charcoal which he sold in the city His daughter Johanna was attacked by chills and fever so Galvi determined to try and find work for her in Memphis He found for her an employer in his FELLOW-COUNTTMAN John Nicolletti a restaurateur and fruit dealer on the southeast corner of Jefferson and Second streets Nicolletti promised to take good care of the child in return for her services as dish-washer and waitress Jn his restaurant Not many days had the little girl been there before this Nicolletti began to be familiar with the child and not long after about ten days ago one night be entered the room where this poor little Johanna lay innocently sleeping Of the force he used in his damnable deed there is no need ot the story for proof since her person bears the marks it does It deeper coloring can be given to this most demoniacal of all crimes it is found in the iact that the child is now under treatment of Drs Frayser and Hen-King for the most loathsome of all diseases The day after the perpetration of the outrage the child imparted the story to bartender He became intoxicated and reported it to several persons Thus it became noised among tbe Italians of Memphis and the parents were sent tor Nicolletti was arrested and taken before Esquire Caldwell who held him under 1000 bond to answer to the Criminal Court for bis crime This is the story as told in the back room of that Beal street saloon last night backed for its truth by the words of several respectable Italians present It was too late for the reporter to see Esquire Caldwell last night but there can be no doubt but that the foregoing unfortunately is but too true SPECIAL NOTICES For THIRTY DAYS we will sell our ENTIRE STOCK of WINTER GOODS at New York cost for CASH DRAKE CO 267 Main Street Go to WILLS A 317 Main street

Fold up the crime-stained dockets clasp them with sharp teeth of brass upon their face write their epitaph and pigeon hole them away the record of a individual sins Out of sight go the brief history of the drunkards beastly intoxication tbe story of the fallen shame the crime and the bloody record of those who have bathed their hands in human gore It is a dark damnable record that goes to that grave among the official files a record which casts disgrace over the fair name ol our city a record which sounded day by day to the world abroad will associate the "name of Memphis with the knife and the deadly bullet DUST MAY COME and as days and months go by silently and benevolently fall over those pigeon holed papersbut the stain upon the good name will live on even beyond the life of the criminal to whom remorseful memory comes to lash him for his sins To-day we could wish to cast a brighter horoscope of the future and hope for a cleaner record for the year upon which we enter It rests with the public sentiment of Memphis to make it cleaner Crime must be frowned down upon the judiciary from the Police Court to the higher halls ot justice must be held to a closer regard for tbe laws of the land and forced to watch with greater zeal the administration of even-handed justice THE LAST of 1877 was less plethoric of crime The uncleansed as if satiated with their sius and miseries failed to loom up behind the railing and the attorneys around the stationhouse stove were so few that each vell worn boot couldXfeach the rim The classical attorney was oxoneiating his client for using her knife so freely: Not a bit of it not a bit of it It was emotional insanity resulting from a grpat attack of jealousy but as Papinhoetn snickered Constable John Said the classical attorney: thank thee Jew for the Jew a what and John was handling a chair excitedly Young man I was only quoting Shakspeare protested the A were eh?

Hon John Flippiu incorruptible as Judge of the Criminal Court he would be equally incorruptible as Mayor His nomination would secure union and harmony But there is one man whose name will be brought before tbe Convention who cannot be elected if nominated by acclamation We allude to John Johnson The opposition to him is deep general and relentless It is an opposition so deeply ingrained that a party nomination cannot remove it ot the best citizens of Memphis honestly believe that Johnson is unfit for Mayor that be prostituted the office for selfish corrupt purposes by speculating in city bonds and much as they love Democracy and strong as has been their fealty to garty organization they will not support Wlaciand Liquors Dealers in foreign as well as domestic wines and liquors cannot supply themselves to better advantage than at Carbery A No 347 Front street These gentlemen transact an extensive business at wholesale in their line and carry in stock qualities suited to every taste and demand tbe market supplying no better brands than their best Irish and Scotch whiskies of tbe very finest qualities are specialties of tbair stock on hand at the present time ana as tor their Pennsylvania Maryland Kentucky and other rye and Bourbon whiskies they yield the palm to nobody Our advice to dealers and retailers is to look in at Carbery A before making their purchases They will find prices as low as qualities are various and attractive True Economy It has been found that the only true economy is that which stops the little leaks and saves in trifles For instance one saves in milk batter eggs and floor by the use of Yeast Powder which is made from the purest cream-tartar derived from grape acid Good housewives have proved this by experience Alex Frothingham A Co have been for manyyean stockbrokers and bankers in New York at 12 Wall street They have a reputation for integrity and astuteness in all matters relating to stock speculations which commends them to the
