One liny 'a Work. To the Editors of the Appeal ; I send vou herewith a strictly true sketch of one day's work among the poor of thiscitv. I ask you to print it as a companion picture to that in yesterday's paper, ol tlie wiioieaaie oistnoution 01 lins at Taxing-District headquarters. hlnowiui? the held, as we Christian As sociation workers do.that p'au of distribu tion makes us sick at heart. Thealtns tnus mven, will, 1 verily bo lieve, be not a blesf init but a curse to our city. The s;ories of applicants themselves are not to b3 trus ed for one moment. The greedy cormorants and dead-beats will eat up tue lunu and ds noiiung netierea but rather the worse, while we must toil on with an empty treasury and wounded hearts trying to had aud save the honent. worthy roor. It it were not tor tbese hidden ones who will die in silence rather than crowd uu aaaorc the creatures thronzina the President's- oirite, I should use my utmost mnuence to nave me Women's Christian Association ot Mem phis abam'on the held wherein they have been totally unsupported by the city authorities, and now behold tbeir pains tak ug labors of years contemptuously ignored and overthrown. I beg you will nut use my name, having no taste for notoriety, nor discussion, but I hope you wilt draw public attention to this matter and let a y diary stand before the public as merelv a sample of tbe dailv work of our visitors.

THE KKCOKD OW ONE UAY's WORK makes good reading, and is printed in lull : Memphis, Friday, January IW. A fearfnllv sleetv mornina and walkinz perilous, but I feU obliged to tear myself aay from our charming young visitor o .er-nirhf , on account of an engagement to meet Mrs. R. at the quarters cl tbe nriprle, Mrs. Hitt, who, with her blind i sler Xancv and the two babies, is to be i itien oil on the 9 o'clock train this morn ing. The wagon engaged to earry the jiAity and their "plunder" to town failed o come, and Sirs. K. want iu search of another, while I helped cram tlieir ill ime'.liug things into the packing box and get the unfortunates wrapped against the bitter cold. All were in fice spirits in prospect of the journey, with no misgiv ings about its termination, though I my arlf have some mental reserves about li e "uncles in Chattanooga." Those din tant relatives and weli-to-do friends are too often sunoosititious, aud such human driftwood too common for railroad olliuials and V. C. A. visitors' skeptical minds, !nit Mrs. K. has raised the cash for the linke, (at half rates, thanks to Jlr. Unfiles) and it was such a loophole cl" escane for me that 1 could not demur. aot'V objected to carrying tne Drooru (an nplement for wh ich they found little use ) because it was baa hick, nut i old her it was alwavs good luck to take care ot wnat you uau, nid poked the handle under the ropes bout the reduinK. ve coula not crjwa the broken skillet into the trunk, so i aye t in charue ol tho woman next door till it bould be called for. .ucli a time getting the careo. tinman ana otherwise, down he dark corkscrew staircase (two trght9) out it was ellectetl at last. We bad bearei enonkh clothinz to make them outwardly decent and enough cold food to secure them sgainat huuger, but all exhortations lell short at.lastol eeitiug them to wash heir faces clean, lhe ' oabv wouiti ttite cold if washed too much," and, as for iturdy little Tom, he was in such a eate of surprise over his can and coat an ihoes that a perlectly jlean lace wouiu :iave entlaugered his mother's recognition Two stout colored luen lifted the help less mother into the driver s seat, putt;n: her crutcliHS beside htr, and her baby iu her lap; blind Nancv was hoisted upon the roll of bedding behind, and Tommv in her lap, and tne In lorn load drove o with my parting blessing ana an earnest admonition never, on any account, to ome back to Memphis. Mrs. K. toon street-car for the depot to aee them on witi her own eyes, the only sure way, wo tind. This lot iias i assed over that mad three times already w ithin the past four months, the cupple coming here bo times in search of tm runaway husband t eo long as they paid their rent, which these did, $1 50 per week, lheyseemeu uce ouiet people: she would snow me up to their room. They had inst got in, hav- incr been too late to tee President Had den. and the weeuioe woman had her husbands wet stockings (well darned,! observed) in her hands, trying to dry them before a just-kindled sparte ot nre in the crate. The last bit of coal had been laid on. Husband more cheery having tucked bis bate feet into his broken, sod den shoes rehearsed their later disap pointments, hall humorously, though it was n ainlvaca.se ol whistling in me dark, t-oniebodv had ent them to Mrs. D. (my Muter chairman iu next ward), who had broken ruUs by giving thi-in tweutv-tive cents without visitinz them. I readily condoned the orteuse i of which the bentticiarlee were totally una ware) when they displayed their invest ment of the money : Loaf of bread five cents, crackers live ceuls, sweet uotatoes bve cents, ana a silver mine leit over lor to-morrow. 'An old tomato-can and a tin cup was their rooking outtit. I took the man to the nearest coai-yara, paiu ior a barrel of cocl and secured the loan ol a w heelbarrow to w heel it home ; then went to a grocery store and expended fifty cents for halt a peett oi meai, uu m cacn w-Hdire of cheese, cooked oatmeal, dun" each of sugar and salt, and some odds and ends the grocer contributed, no an einntv l.nion box (lor kinulingi in which an were picked anu rnouuteu atop the coal.

Tailing him to come un in the morning and put in five barrels of coal f r me (twenty five cents) and let his wife come along to wash some windows Ifiltv cental, 1 went home. Before retiring that night wrote an order for two barrels coal for a colored amily on Causev street, whose mother was fatal ly burned a week ago, and elder sister dangerously so. Gave the coal on condi tion some colored friend would cart it home without charge, which was done. Then telephoned to a contractor friend, securing lab irer'a work and wa esi for one dav) lor a vounz husband (and prospect ive father), who is in great distress, aud whose establishment in some cneap room where the $4 remaining in thtir puree will net melt away in a day, must be our hrtt care to-morrow.

L. had sect them tyro bnrrels of coal that morn ing, so ws r""uiu ultra mat to ao ; this week.- Clarence, nine rears old, had earned two-bits carrjiug water for a lady upstairs, and the lady Ada (thirteen years o.di worked for had fciven her teu cents extra last week. He, himstlf, bad earned eighty-three cents folding papers at a printing olli' e. Emma came in and corroborated Willie;s report, and then showed me what eatables remained on hand so 1 might know what to order, but didn't think they needed mnch. The twins had clean faces this morning and were highly commended with the promise of an apple apiece if the reform should be found to include necks and ears by the next visit. Then, with a few whispered words of the precious love that never failetb, I bade the si; k woman be of good cheer, and went out. There was one critical night three weeks ago when re covery seemed impossible for the toiling mother, tiro -en down by anxieties and hnnger. Lut now the good doctor thinks she will pull through, which, for her children's sake, I pray she may. A hand ful of meal was the only food in the room when I found her, January 7th, and the woman seemed in a state of coma. After vain search for honest old Mrs. Fritx, of wbom I had beard that she had been turned out in the cold the nuht before, I went home to dinner (which I could not eat) somewhat lighter of heart land purse) and weary of limb, and fully minded to enjoy my own fireside the rest of the day.

The anxiety to hear from tlie jury in the McKeever case venterday morning, and the frequency with which questions about the result of the trial were asked on the streets yesterday, attested the great public interest in one ot the most remaraauie cases ever tried in this county. Tne law yers declare that nothing like it appears in any of the books. ar,d tne general verdict is "-niultv." thouirh the twelve men com posing the jury are not yet ready to admit li. WHEN THE COCRT CONVXNEI) at 9 o'clock yesterday morning a large crowd had already assembled. The hours wore on, but no sign came from tho jury room, still the crowd held its p!acf, and inslead of diminishing grew larger as the day advanced. The rat.igeway was choked with white and black men, stand ing patiently to hear the result It was to cold that the windows could not be thrown open and the heat from the generators, acting npon the densely packed audience, created a stench that was something fear ful. D.-puty-Sheiitf Alexander, who was intrusted with the TASK OF PRSSKaVISO OKI.-KB, declared that he felt as tiled as if he had been mauling rails. The clerks, attorneys, the crowd aud even the judge himself looked ti.ed and weary. V hen j oon came and nothing had boon heard' from tlie jury, it was the almost universal expression that a mistrial would have to be entered. At 1 o'c'ock. udze Dounlass sent for the jury, and wht-u they had tiled iuiu lueir piucup, ne as&eu tne ioreman ii they disagreed as to the law. He rep led that they understood the law thoroughly. In answer to a question f.s to whether there was any disaiireemeut about the facts, he replied that he was not able to answer that question. The judge remark ed tharhe could not help them any and they mus; o back and work out - THEIR OWJI VEBPICT. It now leaked out that eleven of the jurymen were in favor of hauiirg the assassin, only one of the panel being for acquittal. Although there was no doubt in tbe miudB of those familiar with Crimi nal Court practice that they knew the obstinate member, it would be improper to aive his name, as there might be tome mistake. THE MAN BEFaltBED TO has been on a number of juries and has BHVeral times held out for aeauittal in the face of the plainest and most convincing evidence. He is supposed to be constitu tionally opr-osed to a hanmnir verdict. thought he answered the questions jut to Dim in a satisfactory manner. At 4 o'clock in tlie afternoon the iurv was again called an I the usual question put to the foieman, who made identically the same replies as I store: "We under stand the law," he said, "and we have been trying to sift out what fact it is we disagree about, but have not managed jn nmiip nn in nnr bk uiimn vui " O j . jf-nfiK ni-.rni iwa ti-.u uu c-v--r for two or three minutes- and then said "It ia very important you should agree. gentlemen, m xNorth Carolina, until recent date, ts roon as a iurv in an lm portant cuce was charged by the court, it was put into a cart and driven at a rattling gait all over the country until a verdict was reacuea. me scenery was lovely tu the rocks were horribly rough. Tho worst feature was that they got nothing to eat exce lit bread and water. We shall make you comfortable, gentlemen, but we want a verdict as early as possible. Take them back, Mr, Sheriff, end AQJOt'BS THIS COURT until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning." J be best way to ex tnat jury, re marked Chief Davis, as he left the court room, ';vould be for the judge to demand what grand rascal wauled to turn an assas sin loose upon tlie community. 1 think thev would agree fast enough then. There were all sorts of rumors about the jury yt-hterdny evening, but none oi them can be relied oil. One says two jurymen are oopon-d to capital punishment, an another that one man wants to put the murderer into the psnitentiarv for hie in sead of hanging him. The latter story gained a good deal of credence, but may be upsnt with the simple statement sustained by all t:,e LAW AND THE PACTS, that McKeever is guilty of bloody murder or that he is as innocent of the crime aa a new-born 1 abe. Plenty of people were found yesterday evenir.g and last night who were foolish eaongli to talk openly of hanging the fiend if the jury acquitted him. It was re marked that in such an event M-.-Keever would he taken back to the stationhouse to awjiit the .irrivil of efficars from Mis sissippi, where he is wanted for horse stealing, aud that it would be a matter of very little elfurt to take him out of that weak, tumble-down fortress and swing hiiu up to tho nearest lamp-post There is mere smoke than fi e in this, however, and if the jury fails to find McKeever guilty he will waik ca'mly out of the courthouse aiid tjo aud murder another man. her performance last niifht, no one present would believe it unlesl intimately ac quainted with her." I would not be con tent unless I saw the last, act of Article 47 every time the lady impersonates the try ing and difficult role of ' Cora," and as for Mm Mullon, the sea of tears shed by tbe thousands who have seen Miss Morris in that pathetic character of "Sara," is a proof that the heart-etrinus of humanity can be touched by tbe tnagneti: influence of this penius of dramatic art.

Uieh. Arnold. Still more epjoyalile by contrast with that of the first nitlt, was the verdict of the audience last night as Miss Keating aud Mr. Arnold left the stage at the con clusion of the niulh number of the above programme. It was more severely classic, and was, therefore, 1 test of the ability of the pei formers and of the patience oi t. e Qdience, which never nice gave wav under the trying btrain. The theater was not warm; indeed, it was to the audience as well as the artists uncomforta bly cold, but even this did not affect the enthusiasm ol the cne nor the tervor ot the other. They were rn rapport from the first and grew in intimacy until the closing cumber, which was listened to iih a silence as earnest and intense as marked the appreciation of the audi ence of Tuesday night Mrs. Williams was in better voice than on tbat occasion, and sang of course more nearly up to her own desire, though we cannot say much better, with the melody of her hrst night still haunting our memory. She quite took the bouse by storm aud was encored at the close of every number, receivirg very enthusiastic applause at each recall. She has made a very enduring impresoion of fidelity, of devotion, of study of the composers she interprets, ot a desire to meet the antici pation of her audiences, to produce something like tehing effects, and of a love of song as means of reaching tbe recesses of the human heart Her voice is full of eympatbv, veiy flexible an t is quito uncer con trol, her schooling good, her phrasing ad mirable, aud her selections are caiefully made with a view to her capabilities and her special talents. She hf s made a place for iiarauf here, and it is earnu.-itlv tinned she may retain it and become identified with music in Memphis. Mr. fcehenck was not an iin, rovement npon him self, but he was equal to the fine impression he made on Tues day nixht. That, let us eay with out any prelimi. ustii s, wnsofa thoroughly artistic nature, with, as we said yesterday illimitable resources aud possibilities. Hi: bowing is broad, tree, sympathetic am. graceful. Whenever a composer makes demands npon him he is always equal to it, his technical skill be.ng a resource he can draw upon at pleasure. Mr. Schenck ha; a great luture before him. and must some day rau with the masters of an instrument that is a growing favorite with all classes here as everywhere else. Mr. Arnold wis unusually happy in his selections trom an artisuc as well as pop ular point of view, and the results were the most favorable oossible. Like Mr. bchenc x he was recalled twice, and was compelled to yield to the importunities ot the audi' ence, who would willingly have kept him on the stage for an hour at a time, so great was the p easure he auorded thom. Well known and appreciated in New York, as he is, Mr. Arnold owes it to his future in his choiien profession to look bevond even the refined cire'es of the musical ilill'ttmUe of the metropolis and eeek to win a national i.ime. No man now before the musical public of the United States, has Irjhir capacities for leadership, anl he cahiiot aif rrd to remain where he is, us a so'oist. His ambition must carry him to tho hight where a: his powers will shine at their best and whence the pubiio can avail itself of his crowning abilities an'' eipGrienees, He posse.se ail tho talents and requisites He has an extended experience with the b st orchestral organizations of the country, aa intimate knowledge of the taste and demands ot tho public the nation, a very thorough acquain ance with the works of the best and most modern of the masters music, from Gluck aud Beethoven our own dr.y an J his taste and tact are acknowledged quantities in tbe manage ment of the Philharmonic Society as we as Club of New York as a director cf the one and lender c-i the oihtir. His co -labor era havo loi ago acknowledged tbeir ia- dedn6Bswhira,.aa th- 80 ' f .iu nirn, freely admit theirs. When we hear of Mr. Ar nold aain iu Memphis it ought to be ut the head of an orchestra that shall bear us close a relation to the world of musical art as the Philharmonic Club, f which he is the heart and soul. Mies Keating wiis in every respect equal to toe impression she made on Tuesday night. tier pbniung, technique anil clear ness of articulation were as no- ti er.ble as was the comfortable feeling of ease and seii-posseseion with which she went to her work. In the first number this was e-pecially the case. To her tiiere tell a great deal ol severe laoor. and in its peifermance a thorough test of her nne natural abilities, ner training and her tatte. And this was so in a still more remarkable degree in the closing duo with Mr. Arnold, which was listened to with very close attention by an audience that was even morn appreciative than that of the preceding night. Hor solo, a wallz by Raff, was, a delightful performance that made a vory prompt impression and won an encore., the call lor which was very warm and kind. In response she played a very simple composition, "Withering tiowctrs, tnat sue learned when a child, and then won her plaudits here, but new is a rerelation under her finer hand, her broader method, her greater technical skill and more loving and poetic touch. This, with what else she did, deepened the impression of her artistic possibilities and gave point to the general prediction of the profession in Memphis that bwi future is in her own hfinds, and that with continued ftudy and experience she must some day, and soon, occupy a high place with the masters of tbe liana. Uer coming, accompanied by tho artists who.hared with her the public applause, has beea a positive delight to the musical public, and her concerts mark an era in the musical annals of the city. She has shown what study and determination will do whe a sustained by natural ability, and she aifords an example for all, whether men or women, who are devoted to music, of wha". may be accomplished by devotion to a lofty purpose, sustained by a laudable arnbiticoi. This is the lesson of her presence, and it ia a good one and ought to be a stimulus to other students. Mr. Levy, by. his management and his taste and Ekiil aa an accompanist, deserves mention again. He won the plaudits of the audience as well as those of the artists-, and was enthusiastic in all thftt h& Lad to do. . HEADQUARTERS FOR B. F. Avery I Son's Plows. Ett BROIDERIES. OilLL BROTHERS & 'J Reports continue to come in regarding the condition oi the leveee, and in view of the rapidity with which the waters are rising a great deal of uneasiness is felt by the farmers thronghont the whole of the valley. The Greenville Time. says: Capt. T. F. Dumn, who has been in lireen ville for several days, informed ns tbat be has been compelled by tbe rising eiver to sus pend the construction of tbe Ash Slough or Lewis Swamp levee, which he had just begun. This is the work to be built with money advanced by this board. Col. E. Richardson and the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railroad j to . be repaid by the upper levee district. Of course this work was let too late. But still there was a reasonable expectation that tnere would be no such stage of water as that now prevailing for a month later. Capt. Dutiin sustains a Ions of several hundred dollars by this compulsory suspension. Otherwise there is no direct loss. The contract will be resumed alter the high water subsides, unless some of the "sub scribers" withdraw from tho agreement; not a probable contingency. The circumlocution attending this con tract, the necessity for the interposition of the authority of this boaid, is tut another evidence of the glaring, and wholly un necessary, defects in the bill incorporating the upper distm-t. lhe law is even m Bullicieut to authorize the chief engineer to incur "high-water" expenses. The fo:lv of directing tbe building of the levees and forbf :ding expense ot their protection and preservation, could not be surpassed. The other wotk in the upper district is, we are glad to say, upon good information, in a lavorab.e condition. .ufn-ib. Duinn, Arnold, and McTighe, who have three- fourths of the 2,000,000 yards of work, are all about through. Each have only a few thousand yards oi light and unimportant work to do. lhe other lourth, controlled by Reid & McGinty, was inexcusably neg lected during the month oi .November. But their werk was so expfd ttd durin; the month of December that Chief En gineer Dabney was able, January 5th, to repart titty per cent, ot it completed, and that at that time there were aH men on the work. Despite tbe had weather, this work, we learn, has been vigorously pushed. The incomplete portion is favor ably located, and not likely to be inter fered with by any probable s'age oi water until the time has elapsed for its comple tion. Considering the lateness of letting in the upper district, tbe showing speaks well tor sngineers ana contractors, in this district all work of importance has been abont completed. And for our annual hitth-water contest as thorongh prepara tion as our means and facilities admit has been made. The action of the chief engineer in securing a full supply of sacks, with the option el returning sucn as are not used, is especially wise and timely. in many previous high-water seasons this has been delayed until danger was imminent, and sacks secured with dim. cultv and at exorbitant charges. The information which we nave from Louisiana levee management presents aught but a favorable comparison with the foregoing sketch. It is the same old slorv of unfinished work, of contractors oveitakerj by the rising river, which we have had trom there every high-water vear. The important Wilson levee work has been already abandoned ; only a little over one-sixth of it being completed. S L. James has completed only 255,000 yards out of a total of 1 45,000 yards ef em bankment. But tbis does not tell a tithe of the tale. McGinty contracted for 518.000 vaids and has completed but 21, 000. Tbis work was all let in ample time for its completion. That these contractors have been permitted to so shamefully neglect their work and imperil the public interests is conclusive of one or two things: a corrupt or imbecile direction of levee affairs. It is but a repetition of what has happened in Louisiana levee mairufa fsit vrAni-a rtaot an1 nnfmf iintfalv dishonors all levee building and raises harmful doubts as to its practicability.
