RIVER SHIPMENTS OF GRArS.-The Davenpor

RIVER SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN.-The Dayenpor
UOwa) Gazette, of Sept. 26th, says: -s..l.
Prominent commission merchants in New Or
leans and New York are still earnestly advocating
shipments of grain from the States of the MIssis-
sppi Valley to New York and Liverpool, via the
Crescent City, and are almost daily proving its
utility and oheapness. On his way up Mr.. Bud
decke met the tow.bost Victory with barge be-
longing to the Mississippi Valley Transportation
Company, in tow, loaded with s,025 bashels OF
bulk wheat, which goes 10 New York oa
through bill of lading given by the White Collar
meb;s have preceded this one, and more are to
follow. When the Des Moines and Rock Island
Rapids are both rendered DaYigsble through tbs
eight months In the year, there are good reasons
for believing that large portion OF the grain IN
the valley States will seek its seaward aud trans
stlsnic markets by way OF the Mississippi and the
gulf
The difference Of freights will, OF course, go
into the pockets of the Western farmer, and quite
q difference il will be-amonnting 10 hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, annually, in the aggregate.
Mr.. Bucdecke says that whereas II costs forty i've
cents TO ship bushei OF gram from davenport
10 New Yoik via Chicago and Buffalo, 1t costs but
ihiriy-one cents to ship the same bushel via New
Orleans 10 New York. Time is also In favor OF
the Mississippi route. II Is asserted that while II
requires thirty days to land grain In New York
from Davenport via Buffalo, it requires bat twen-
iy-one days 10 take il from Davenport via New
Orleans; and while the time from Davenport to
Liverpool via Buffalo Is fory-four days. from Da-
venport to Liverpool via of New Orleans requires
but thirty six days. There ought to be solid
foundation for these statements for on the strength

otherwise-that is, If tCtite skinned men were en-

GEORGE d. PRENTICE DISMISSED FROM THE
LOUISVILLE JOURNAL The Cincinnati CONNER
cisl of Sept. 30th has the following:
George d. Prentice and the Louisville Journal
have for many years seemed to the public to be
almost one and iIseparable. Prentice was the
founder of the Journal. He was long the most
brilliant of Western editors. His fame as a witty
pafagrspbist was national. He was equally well
knoyn as poet and politician. His paper was
largely circulated and profitable. His style as q
writer has been initiated by hundreds. 1t was
varied, picturesque, exaggerated, attractive and
forcible, with always too much coloring, too
many adjechves. And the style Of no writer in
Americs-Horace Greeley, perhaps, excepted
was better known. Now the intelligence reaches
u that. after having been put upon a salary Of
forty dollars a week in the Journal, by its present
proprietors, he has been " dismissed" The idea
Of dismissing George d. Prentice from the Louis
vile Journal Office seems very strange. Perhaps,
rather, ii is very sad. He is old and feeble,
weary of half a century Of hard work, and IL is
said be is dissipated. His old friends are gone.
His wife is dc ad. Alas, poor Yorick. We must
pity the sorrows Of the poor old man, who, poor
and old though he Is, was genius and giant in
his day, and whose name will live in honorable
recollection as long Louisville has journal. or

lowing comments of the New York Times upon that
subtle aud fascinating drink
Of all strong drinks absnthe is the least palatable
at first, the most subtle in its immediate effect the
most fascinating in its continued influence, the most
absolute in the bondage it euforces and the fear
full in its results. Yet, with the common knowledge
of all this before them the people of France find

cry year. and are in the growing lists of idocy
lunacy, furious madness and suicide In Paris they
have men so infatuated with this poison that they form
clubs whose members pledged to intoxicate them
selves with nothing else-some, even, to drink no
other liquid. The Government is said to have the
matter in serious consideration We advise them not
to increase the tax on its manufacture for that will
surely make it very much greater in quantity and very
much worse in quality.

DEATH OF KIT CARsoN.-A letter from Fort Lyon,
Colorado announces the death Of Christopher Carson
better known throughout the United States as '' Kit
Carson" He died the 23d of May, from the effects
of the rupture of artery in his neck The deceased
was born in Madison county, Kentucky, On the 24th
of December 1909, and consequently in bis 59th
year When quite child his parents emigrated to
Missouri, where he was reared. After attaining his
fifteenth year. he was apprenticed to saddler, but
disliking the trade and being of Wild rowing dispo-
sou he left his master two years after, and started
on hunting expedition. For eight years be pursued
the arduous and dangerous of trapper, when
he was appointed hunter to Bent's Fort in which ca
pacity he continued for eight years longer. Return
ing to Missouri at the end of this tme for the pur
pose of seeing his family, he met Gen. Fremont, and
promptly accepted an offer to join his exploring expe-
dition His reputation mountain trapper and
guide had by this time, become extended, his name
being connected with many daring feas. In lS47, he
was lieutenant in the United States army, and at
tached to the rife corps and during the rebellion he
was promoted from rank to rank until he reached that
of brevet brgadier general As an Indian fighter, he
was, perhaps, unequaled splendid shot-he is said
never to have failed to kill redskin that he fred at,
and the number that fell beneath his aim must have
been numerous. During the rebellion he served prin-
cipally in New Mexico where he distinguished himself
by his untiring prosecution of hostlties with bis
age foes, then at war with the Government.

An opinion of considerable Importance to the city
of New Orleans read Monday last in the Supreme
Court of the State. The proceedings were for the
opening of Charres street through the Levee Steam
Cotton Press, between ST. Ferdinand and Montegut
streets and aso Royal street. from Louisa to Con-
gress streets There were several questions involved
1t was urged that the city having sold for bonus of
500 900 the right of way to a city railroad and having
guaranteed to have the street opened its own ex
pense could net have the adjacent propreors assessed
for the proportion of benefit which they might derive
from the opening of the street, and that such
ment was unconstitutional.
Both of these points decided in favor of the
city. The latter is of considerable importance to the
corporation not only account of the large amount
involved in the present litigation but of its future ap-
plication The law of ls47, permitting property which
may be benefited by the opening of street, to be
assessed for the proportion of benefit derived from
such improvement declared to be unconstitutional
in the case of Municipality No. 2 vs. White. This de-
csion is now oVerruled. The advantage to the city
can be estimated when consider that its effect in
this suit alone to relieve the city of an assessment
of at least $4,000.
The other points of private nature. The
cotton press was allowed by the judgment appealed
from, $4,000, and Mrs. Lawrence $50, 900, as the
value of the land be taken. These claims were re-
jected The court declared the assessments excessive
and not warranted by the evidence and remanded the
case for new assessment The city was represented
in the case by Judge Henry D. Ogden.
