The Rural Southland which, by the
way, is one of the best agricultural Jour-
nails printed in the South, and of which
the Louisanians may justly feel proud.
contained the following article in its last
number:
1t gives US pleasure to Announce to
our readers living along the line of the
New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, that
still greater facilities are now being af-
forded for the safe, speedy and cheap
transportation of fruits and vegetables,
both to this and the Northern Markets
We are informed from reliable sources
that produce of this character may now be
shipped daily from all points as far up as
Magnolia, Miss, on the Excursion train,
which arrives in this city at $50 a. m.
at freight rates. This is as good an ar
rangement for our fruit and vegetable
growers as they could reasonably ask,
and will do much towai DIS building up i'm
portant industries along the line Of the
read. We learn further, that a special
fruit train will be run regularly during
the fruit season This will be a facility
not heretofore enjoyed by our fruit
growers, and one that-will give an addi-
Iional impetus to this industry
Col E D. Frost, the popular and eff
cient General Superintendent Is thorough
ly identified with the country traveresed
by this important road, and is conversant
with thewantsof the people as we'll as with
the needs to the development of the re
sources ofcountry, and be Will leave nc
means within his control untried which
are calculated to give life and growth and
progress to the large section of country
dependent upon this thoroughflre for
transportation and travel He Is a gen
tleman of large lIberality and of that
broad comprehension which sees, in the
building up Of the industries Of the
country, the true and lasting interests Of
this road
We congratulate the Railroad Cm-
pany, the people along the line, the ter,
minal cities and commercial public
upon the acquisition of Col Frost to the
management of the New Orleans ant
jackson Railroad.

A Hangman-A Candidate for Gov,

The radical State convention Of
Pennsylvania nominated that cowardly
sneak John F. Hurtrauft who it will be
remembered performed the Office of a
hangman at the execution of Mrs. Ser.
raft, as their candidate for governor.
The hangman's nomination does not meet
with cordial reception from some of
the leading radical organs of the key
stone state; even Forney turns up his
nose at him and it is known that he
sticks generally as close to mean
thing as does bad smell to dead car
cass.

In another column in this issue will
be found the announcement Of Colonel Il
f. LOoney as candidate for Congress
from this district Those who know Col
Onel Loo ey need not be informed that
he possesses in an eminent degree all
the necessary qualifications for an able,
energetic, efficient representative. Few
men can be found who would more red

carefully guard the great and varied in
terests ofthis district in Congress tn IN
Colonel L0oney Our member of Con-
gress will not only represent the most
pOpnlOus but the most important district
in the State, if not in the South. The
vast commercial interests Of the city of
Memphis, which affect the material pros
perity of the people of the agricultural
and mechanical interests, which are of
no less Importance, require that we
should have in Congress as our represen-
tative a man Of large business experience,
Of energy, Of talent, and irreproachable
integrity

says the Bulletin OF the 25th, has invent
ed machine for embaIming and. Preserv-

something new under the sun, and
altogether original with the Doctor. We
have examined it carefully, and listened
to his explanation of its mOdus operandi,
and are convinced that it is we'll calcu
lated to accomplish the Object intended.
The first part Of the process, that of con-
gelation, of course errests decomposition;
and then the vapor Of antiseptie chemi-
Gals being constantly difased over the
body, has still further preseryative tend
ency, calculated to prevent Putresenee.
On the whole, we believe that if the Dee
tors directions are earthly observed, a
corpse may be preserved in its normal
condition any desired length of time

for letters patent for his machine He is
worthy citizen, and we wish him great
success.
