The BAR AT CA1cAs1EU Passive regret
to learn that the improvement of the inner
bar of Calcasieu Pass, completed about year
ago, at a national expense OF twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars, is already useless. The
ditch, one hundred and sixty feet wide, SIX
thousand three hundred feet long, with an
average depth of six feet, on width OF one
hundred and twenty feet, which was excavated
about year ago according to the required
specifications, has filed up SO completely that
all large lumber schooners are compelled to
tighten to get over it, and even the little pro-
peller Ramas got aground the last trip.
We hope that Uncle Sam will be induced to
try again, and that next time the ditch may be
palisaded on both sides. A channel through
the bar is a necessity.-LaAe Charles (parisit OF

Be to her faults a little blind,
And to her virtues very kind.

It is not such persons who will put, themselves
out Of the way to explain the shortcomings of
the sovereign through their regard for the
woman. And though the popularity of Victoria
tured general respect for her personal character
and aims in life that her mistakes still evoke re-
greet rather than indignation, it is by no
means certain that the continual nagging
Of the press at the obstinate isolation of the
Queen may not eventually wear away the popular
regard for the wife, widow and mother, who has
SO long enthralled the loyalty of the average
British householder by the practice on her throne
of all the virtues which he esteems as the palla-
dunn Of his own family and his own home.

CINCINNATI.
A Night of Storms in Kentucky
and Ohio.
Three Trains Ditched on the Lou
iSVille Short Line.
The Ohio and Licking Make a
Jump of Five Feet.
Boats and Barges Sunk and
SWamped.
CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, July 27.-Very little of
the great storms which passed over northern
Kentucky, and southern Ohio visited this
place. The pyrotechnic display of the
storm passing over Kentucky from 10
o'clock till midnight last night was grand.
The storm north of this place was two
hours later. Their directions were from
southwest to northeast. Several railroads
report more or less damage. The short line
to Louisville suffered most heavily.
At Sparta freight train went through a
bridge. No one hurt. A mile and half
south Of Sparta, an engine, baggage and
ole passenger car went through a bridge,
the Pullman escaping. Three men were
seriously and one fatally hurt. Five miles
further south thirty freight cars were ditched
in land slide.
The Ohio river took a jump here Of
nearly five feet in few hours and IS still
rising. The Licking, early this morning,
came down with water three or four feet
higher than the surface Of the Ohio, and
shot across the stream driving driftwOOd
and saw-lOgs against the boats on the pub
lie landing of Cincinnati. The greatest
damage was from tearing eOalboats inom
their mOorings and sinking them. The
loss is estimated at 100000.

The Memphis Ledger refers to the
prayer offered by Beecher, few years
ago, when he oficiated at the marriage
of Abby Sage Richardson and her dy-
ing paramount, who had been shot by
an outraged husband. The prayer COM
menced thus: I'VE thank thee, o
Father, for what these two have been
to each other" Our impression is that
Beecher celebrated the death-bed mar
riage in question, assisted by the
REV" o. B. rockingham. But it
was the latter, and not Beecher, who
made the above prayer, though Beecher
did not repudiate the sentiment in his
explanatory card published a few days
after this mock-heroic mummery of a
most sacred Christian rite.

Closing Exercises Of the Teachers
Institute-A Great Work InauSu.
rated and Great Good Accomplished.
SHELBYvILLE. July "a, 1ST4.-For the
first time a teachers institute has closed its
sessions in this State, and none can
have attended its meetingc with
ont feeling that they were interesting and
beneficial. We have been taught, for many
reasons. to look up. Students Of our State
know that we are really deficient in many
branches of our teaching Many Of our
teachers lack wisdom in the gov
eminent OF their schools; many
need to gather ideas as to the best
modes IF iInparting the knowledge they
have, while others are qualified to draw out
such modes.
Living in such a State as We know Ten
nessee to be, We cannot but feel that we
are destined to reach high point Of excel
lence. Whether we see il or not, it viii
come. This being so, it becomes us TO be
helping on the good cause. We believe
this means to be one of the best for the &C
cOmplishment of the desired ends. This
last days proceedings were so much akin
10 those of yesterday, that We need not
make any special mention of them. Suffice
IT to say that they embraced interesting
topics and were calculated to assist
teachers.
As a spectator. cannot but congratulate
the Institute on having chosen Shelbyville
as one of its places of meeting. The situa-
ton is convenient and central and the point
attractive. Nonobler people can be found,
all ready to cheer the work and to 'do well
their part"
NIGHT SESSION.
This was the last meeting Of the Insti-
tute at Shelbyville, but by no means the
least in Importance. Mr.. 4. ID. Mcclure,
A. B., late of Princeton College, y. j., de-
livered a very interesting and instructive
lecture on shakespeare, with Special Ref
erence to Macbeth" He has evil
IDENTITY spared neither time nor trouble
in the investigation OF this sub
ject. He read with happy effect, several
passages from the play. The exercises
Of the Institute were good from beginning
TO end, but this last lecture was second to
none. This is as it should have been-the
best kept until the last. We predict for
MIR. Mcclure useful and successful career,
in whatever profession he may choose.
We make special mention of the Insti-
tute's first President, Mr.. Dean, the County
Superintendent of Public Schools. All
were pleased with his kindness and
courtesy, feeling that great weight Of
thanks is due him. and that to applaud
him heartily is but giving merit its proper
dues. He has done well, and is worthy OF
more praise than he viii receive.
Long live the Institute, which has thus
happily begun its work; success TO its
founders; blessings on its benetactors;
honor to IFS supporters; triumph to its
aims SPECTATOR.

THERE seems to be some dissatisfac-
tionsfh the Fifth Congressional district
about the mode OF selecting Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress. This is
one of the districts where the election of
a Radical would be utterly inexcusable.
The vote in 1872 was 1873 for Gov.
Brown to 5,392 for Freeman. While
this gives an easy voting majority, it is
equally evident that the running Of
two candidates on our side would be a
very hazardous luxury. Judging from
our exchanges, a majority seem in ia
vor of a convention, and We doubt that
any other plan can be devised 50 salts
factory to all concerned. If, as We ap-
prehend, the majority favor this, the
best course is for all to cooperate in
earnest efforts to make the convention
what it should be-a true reflex Of the
will Of the people.

IF anybody believes that the
Democratic and Conservative Execu-

Such men cannot be beaten; they are
bound to win. More than half the

How Big Fires Get a Good start.

CHICAGO, July 27.-An incendiary plot
was discovered early this morning at 2l9
North Clark street, in the hardware store
of Nicholas Staaden. a lighted candle
was found in the midst of pile of kind
ling wood which was saturated with kero-
sene oil. Strips Of rags soaked in kerosene
were carefully laid along the floor to where
three kegs of powder stood, one of them
open. When discovered the fire had made
considerable progress, and would shortly
have reached the powder. The owner OF
the premises was arrested on the charge of
arson. He sent his family to Michigan
Friday. Yesterday he had been out OF the
city and he claims staid away all night. The
place was insured considerably above its
value in the North British Mercantile
ComnanY.

THE charge that he deserted the

false by Mr.. Nat. F. Dortch, Demo-
cratic and Conservative nominee for
Circuit Court Clerk, in card which
we publish elsewhere. He is so well

county that denial was hardly neces-
sary, except as showing the weak de-
