MEMPHIS AND. NEwo ORLEANS. The
jackson Miss. Pilot is wrathy about
the Memphis and New Orleans leyee
railroad. Itpours out column Of spleen
against the project, II says: "The soils
of the Mississippi bottom are extraor-
dinarily friable and light. They are, as
a rule, soluble in water like sugar In
floods, levees on the river, though having
a specific gravity ten times greater than
the pressure Of the water, appear TO
throb with life. Men who have seen the
great work across the Yazoo Pass when
the water stood high against its face, will
remember that with its apparent heaving
and struggling, theyneyer passed it with
out sense of danger Discharge upon
bank under such circumstances the
thunder of forty ton locomotive and
tender, rafting on with train at twenty
FIVE miles an hour, and no one who has
ever seen such a work in hood-time
would answer for the consequences to its
stability. All who have lived behind n
levee in high water will concur in the
declaration that the construction of this
Memphis and New Orleans railway,
while very pretty conception on paper,
is one of the widest projects that ever
challenged the investment of capital"
The Pilot prefers an inundation to Che
protection of farms by the building of
leveess There is no accounting for the
foresight of some people.

HOME FOR IHEBRIATEs-0 Legisla-
ture has granted a charter for the estab-
lishment of the Tennessee Home for
Inebriates, and philanthropic men in
Nashville are already engaged in the
good work of getting up the asylum.
"Intemperance," said DIR. Albert Day,
in one of his recent lectures, lis a dis
ease, frequently an entailment-a hered-
itary disease, as scrofula or consump-
ton, but more frequently it is acquired,
and is the direct result of the moderate
drinking usages which prevail in so-called
reputable society. 1t is a disease com
pick in its character and in its mani
festations. The faculties of the mind
and the affections of the heart are as
often the seat of the disease as the bodily
powers. These reciprocally act upon and
influence each other. A manconstantly
living under the law Of stimulation has
no proper balancing Of his powers,
whether physical, intellectual or moral.
Harmonious action is destroyed. To
effect cure the equilibrium must be re-
stored by methods which shall secure the
active cooperation of the patient him
self. He is not to be saved physically
and Independently of his own efforts, but
by the cooperative energies of his own
spirit" Here is field for our tempe
rance men to work in and gather rich
harvest.

UNIE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT

manufacturers of this beautiful boot II com
bines all the utility Of the sewed boot with the
eheapness of the pegged boot. Its constrHe-
ton is in this wise; Instead of pegs, peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely clinched,
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have all the smoothness and elasticity of
the sewed boot, and none Of the dsadvan-
tages attaching to the pegged boot. We sell
them nd price but trifle more than that Of
the pegged boots; thus we furnish you with
something that is indeed economical. We
have fires b stock Of all kinds of Boots and
