PRESIDENT THEIRS has u peculiar way
of manilesting his republicanism and of
showing that, above all things, he is anx-
ious to avoid giving the advanced liberals
in France any cause Tor dissatisfaction
and suspicion. Unless, which is prob
able, the appointment of the Duke dAu-
male to the governOrship Of Algeria was
one OF the concessions by which ri.
Thiefs obtained the consent Of the reac-
tlonists in the Assembly to the prolonga
ton of his powers, one cannot but be sur
prised at the Rudacity and unLimeliness OF
that measure. 1t places the Duke dAu-
male in supreme command Of the large
body of troops now occupying Algeria,
and enables him toingratlate himself with
both the officers and soldiers, That he
Is capable of doing so is attcsted by all
who know the Duke personally He is u
polished scholar, very energetic charac-
ter, and In social intercourse very win.

but the appointment must be condemned
as step towards an Orleanisl restoration.

OUR TOBACCO MARKET.

FEW FACTS THAT SHOULD BE KNOWS
SUGGESTIONS TO THE PLANTER--sALws.
In calling attention to the subioiped ouo.
tations of the sale of tobacco. at the Bal.
lard Warehouse, July 9TH, we cannot but
feel pleased and encouraged at the on,;rc
satisfaction manifested by both buyer and
seller. '"'A
since the opening of the season a marked
change has taken place in the handling of
tobacco and its cooperage, and planters
VINO nave paid strict attention to these two
items have realized fully rs per cent. bet
'er prices than those who have sent their
tobacco to market in bad cooperage.
Inc planter should feel proud of the
horts of the Cairo people in building up A
market in their midst and should leave
nothing undono on their part to make this
the model market Of the West. lie has n
reputation at stake, or 10 make, as vol AZ
the warehouse-men and others, and when
that reputation is once established he
ceases to have any trouble to dispose of his
crop, his name is known and his product
is sought after at an advanced price over
his neghbor who has paid little or no at
tention to properly marketing his crop.
Sort and classify your tobacco well, ham
die it carefully, and send il here in good
sound cooperage and we will guarantee you
full prices and fair compensation for your
extra labor
