wherewith he might buy purple and fine
linen aud other valuable and costly mcrchan-
die. And it came to pass, that he journey
ed many leagues, until he even came to the
great Babylon, called New York, and there
he farried few days among the money
changers and buyers and sellers, and pur-
eh sed many articles and things which the
people would desire, and he then journeycd

We have neither leisure nor inclination to pursue the subject further at present. And must content ourselves with observing that whatever merit Mir. Reeder's invention may possess, 1t cannot be used as a substitute for Mr. Evans So we'll as we can understand from the description given of it, the Reeder Safety Guard like ihe common safety-yalye yields only to pressure but, instead of affording relief like the common safety guard, by letting oft steam, affords relief by extinguishing the fire. So far so well. But when there is not water enough in a boiler to prevent an explo- sion where is the water to come from that Is t. extinguSh the fire? And again, superheated steam has so little elasticity, that it could not raise the heavy weight which forms an essen tal part of Mr. Reeder's safety guard
 Lowness of water in boilers, whence arises excess Of heat, is one of the most frequent causes of explosion. But, from whatever cause 1t may arise, excess of heat is always dangerous, and we know of no means by which this danger can be so efectuallv guarded against as by fusble alloys, prou,aed they be properly prepared and propery applied.

Fellow-Citizens of Saline County

Alter numerous solicitation to become d can d;dare for the clerkshp of Saline county, I take this method of informing you, gentlemen, that am not a candidate for the office As 1 submit- ted my name before democratic convention, by-whch l was willing to be governed, and as my fellow citizens thought, in their wisdom that John w. Shoppach was the most suitable man to run for the office ill the present canvass I therefore willingly submit to their decision though, gentlemen, in my decination. ex- tend to you my hearty and sincere thanks, for the distinguished manifestation of your coni- dence and respect. II l had of gotten the nomination before the convention, l should have run the race cheerfully, but as 1 was de- feated by asmall majority by one well qualified and well tried, it has met my hearty approba- ton and will merit my support.

Obituary.

Died-At the residence of his father in Conway county Ark, on the 25th Of May, of congestion of the brain, WILLIAM H. KING son of Bryant V King, esq.
 The deceased Was born in Cumberland county, Ky, Sept. 26, A. D. 1887. and was consequently 20 years and s months old at the time of his death.
 The death of this promising young man was sudden and unexpected. On Saturday, he had slight chill and on Monday following he was taken with second chill which was followed by high fever, d,Iiram and congestion, of which he died on Tuesday. By this untimely death parents, brothers aud sisters, have been suddenly thrown into the deepe,; distress; and numerous friends as they followed his remains 70 the last al.d foal r'stn4 place oI all that IS cart hy felt that they were iaieoi bereaoei ard were again lorcihiy reminded that nei ih.r youth amah.lity nor talent can for moment stay the memorable hand of the King of Tcrrors.

read again, and he will find the two sections alluded to as different the one from the other as the polex One provided for specific tax oi so much on the acre, regardless of value; while the other for an advalorm tax r to per eentum on the valuation.
 l9 CeAnother and last objection is to the S1O per l acre, minimum valuation in the law He thinks this Is question open for discussion on constitutional grounds, and suggests that the whole difficulty would have been avoided bv adopting the State minimum valuation of S3 per acre.
 Now where Is the difference, would like to know If the legislature has the right under the constitution, Ill one case why has 1t not in the other. Gan he not that there would be more justice III valuing such Mississippi bottom lands at SlO per acre tn levee it, thereby mak- ing 1t Saleahe from SlO to $50, than there Is III the States valuaton of all the poor sterile up lands at $3 per acre.
 The law may be defective but if is "Grophor las tailed to establish the defects or point out any Improvement in it.
 ne law has Ill my opinion given pretty general satisfaction to the people of the county ana those who live on the river see and feel that It has done Us much good in the short time It has been Tn operation. But nothing to what It Will do, If we go on patiently enforcing it. Notwlth tandin. the water rose higher in this county by from l4 to Is inches. than ever be- lore known. ana come np rapidly that the inspectors had very lit le time to strengthen the weak places Tn the levee; the consequence was the water ran over the levee in some places and broke It Tn others givin. Us considerable overflow; fortunately the water feil enough in about 10 days for all the brooches bat 3 to be mehded. These three are in the lower part of the county, where there is some overflow now :; with these single exceptions the levee is stand ing on all our front. Tue second rise which is snll continuing up 10 this day, is within few inches ot the highest point ever attained and stlil Chlcot Is almost exempt from overflow in as good or better condition than any county from Vlcksburg to Memphis, and also in bet. ter condition than large portion oi Iousiana wnere they have had ages of experience on the subject of levees and levee laws
