The Great DeCaStrO Troupe. -TLis
troupe is announced to give a series
Of their refined and select cntcrtain-
ments at NckeIs Dining Room Hall.
Commencing Thursday next, judging
from our exchanges this Is without
doubt the best troupe that has yet
visited our city and We anticipate our
small hall will be filled to overlooking
" clip tie following from the Mem
phis Daily Appeal,
Professor DcCastTO.
The DeCastso troupe at the Greenlaw
Operahousc last night gave another
elegant entertainment to delighted
and interested audience, Who were
certainly amused as we'll astOnisbed by
the seeming iinposibility of many
different features exhibited. The
magic circle of Professor DeCastro
vas quite wonderful, for tricks par
take of the marvellous in many respects.
His veu;riloquism delighted and
amused everyone present, for his
mastery of this intricate science is
thorough and perfect. Miss Fannie's
solo upon the staff bells was an excel
lent musical performance, and added
no lutte TO the interesting character
of the entertainment. Professor
Jeppc, in his great Indian box mys-
terry, again accomplished what seemed
to be an imposSibilty. How he can
get into a tightly-bound box without
untying the strong cords around it,
or even disturbing the knots, and
that too after freeing himself from a
sealed bag, is a mystery which no one
save himself may understand. This
wonderful feat is one Of the mOs'
astonishing ever performed by ma
gician, and the oftener it it witnessed
the more anxious does a person be-
come to ascertain how it was done.

An IMPENDING WAR.--lt is well enough
to keep track of the difficulty between the
English and the King of Burmah, as a very
lively war is likely to grow out of it before
long, the result of which will probably be
one Of the most important territorial acqui-
sitions the English in India have made for q
quarter Of century. The grounds of the
dispute are two-fold little doubt about the
boundary lines, and the charge that the Bar
mese government sympathized with the
Chinese, who recently massacred, in Western
China, British exploring party of eighty
persons. The fact that the Chinese general,
who was responsible for this affair, was re
Gently received with honors in Burmah, has
rendered the English highly indignant,
The English papers intimate that war is
scarcely ayoidable. This is very likely to
be true, for the reason that the English
want war, but certainly not because the
provocation is sufficient to justify it, For,
according to the accounts received hitherto,
the Burmese government cannot fairly be
held responsible for sympathizing with an
atrocty committed in China 10y Chinese,
But the English want to annex Burmah,

Political lettings.

TnE New York Erening Posts comment
on the performance of the Ohio democrats
hits the nail whack on the head. "They
have done all they possibly could do" it says,
"to ensure the defeat Of their party in the
national election of 1876"
CALroRNfA, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Maine, all have made their nominations for
Republican Governor by reclamation.
This spontaneity of feeling and action is in
dicatiye of the rising tide Of a movement of
the people which will sweep things in No
vember
lr is clear that Governor Kellogg means
business in the reform movement in Louisi-
ana. Instead of making great noise and a
grand flourish, he went quietly at work, and
every blow seems to tell. lie is now after
Auditor Clinton, and that corrupt official
will now be obliged to walk the plank.
TuE California Republican Convention
adopted strong anti-railroad resolutions, nc
cepted the Presidents letter as explicit as a
final settlement Of the third-term agitation,
praised the record and administration of
President Grant, and determined to resist all
efforts to divide the school fund for the ben
eft OF sectarian schools.
The shrewdcst bid for the next Presidency
comes in the form of rumor from Brooklyn,
to the effect that Judge Nelson will make
his charge in two hours Nothing will keep
the Judge from the White House if he keeps
this promise. The people are ready to give
any honor within their gift to the first man
on hai trial who makes two hours speech
lie may be trusted But we fear the rumor
needs confirmation.
THE democracy are now trying to prove
that the Republicans of Pennsylvania are not
in sympathy with the administration This
will be news to both parties The Pcnnsyl-
yania platform contains a handsome aluson
to the President and the service he has per.
formed. The democracy discover, when
the next election takes place, that sufficient
sympathy exists between the administration
and the Republicans of the state, to reverse
the verdict Of last fall. This win be a prac-
teal denial of the charge raised by our OPP

A MARINE MONSTER. - An experiment
has lately been performed at Portsmouth,
England, with the fsh-torpedo, which shows
that no iron-clad in the British navy could
survive the attack Of this formidable ma
chine. An old, iron, paddle-wheel steamer
was fitted with a cellular bilge like that OF
dghting iron-clads, and torpedo containing
FIVE hundred pounds of gun cotton discharged
thirty-eight feet six inches beneath it. Sub
marine charges of gun cotton had previously
been tried without effect, but this internal
machine made the vessel complete wreck.
This experiment has startled the British
press into recognition Of the weakness of
their great armored ships, the Devastation
and Peter the Great, under similar condi-
tions, while recognizing the aid afforded by
the torpedo for defensive purposes. As the
United States government has some wonder
full machines of this kind, there is no need
for us TO be alarmed at the result Of exper-
iments with which our Naval Department
has long been familiar.

A WASHINGTON special says that besides
the indictments of prominent revenue Off
cials in st. Louis, whose names have been
given some Of the principal distllers have
also been indicted, and evidence that is sure
to lead to the indictment of several others
has been forwarded to the grand jury. The
action taken against Supervisor Mcdonald
is the best evidence that could be given that
the President is earnestly supporting the
movement of Secretary Bristow against this
ring, as Mcdonald was a warm friend Of the
Presidents, and had more influence with
him than any other supervisor, until he was
found to be implicated in the late frauds.
The fact that extreme measures have been
allowed to take their full course in this case
is a sure indication that no leuency will be
shown in any quarter

The Nation StlIl In Danger.

This is the stirring title Of stirring
pamphlet just issued 10y the American Mis-
sionary Association, calling attention to the
| peril to the whole country arising from the
illiteracy of the voting mass of blacks at the
South. The pamphlet argues from the fact
that since the North has applied to the
troubles in the South the strongest remedies
known to the constitution, and her most
skilful politicians are yet at a loss, decming
it equally unsafe to do more or to do moth
ing. it is time to see what can be done
by internal applications to the minds and
hearts Of men. Ignorance and prejudice ~
IT urges, "can only be overcome by light and
love"
The comparative illiieracy Of the South,
now that the mass Of ex-slavcs are rock-
oned in as a part of the regular citizen popu-
lation as they must be, is startling indeed,
when reduced to percentages from the figures
Of the last census. Thus, 2j.5 per cent of
the population over ten years old in the
South cannot read against 3.s per cent. in
the Easternand Middle, and 81 in the West
ern States Thirty-ninc per cent. Of the
voting population in the South cannot read,
against eight per cent in the two other sec
tons The comparison Of expenditures for
education, per capita, North and South, tells
the same shocking story.
There is no feeling Of triumph in setting
forth these facts; the sole aim is to arouse
the generous sympathies Of the North to-
wards the South. Moreover the selfish in
torest of the North is plain in the matter;
it cannot flourish while the South auguishes
Its duty, too, is manifest, to help the South
free herself from the consequences Of slavery
which could never have existed in the first
place but for the North's protection and sup
port of the institution" and which would
not have been overthrow but for the North's
agitation and armies The whole situation,
including the consequences in the present
Reconstruction, is, therefore mainly what
the North has made it,
The American Association urges that the
own salvation and proposes furnishing it with
education and moral culture as means to that
end. The present appeal being made more
specially to Northern churches much stress
is laid, in this pamphlet ON the consideration
that the freed slaves not having been AIDE
quately provided with the means Of instruc-
ton during the first marvellous enthusiasm

sink into idleness and intemperance, to be-
