EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF NArunE--On
Wednesday night last, circumstance
occurred Mt one of the passes of the
Mississippi River, which illustrates the
uncertain condition of those outlets. It
was at Pass rOutre, and near the chan
mel. During that night, an island, COM
prising ON area of about eight acres,
rose up ont of the deep, and now lies
fully eight feet high above the surround
ing water The previous day, where
now the Island is, was ON unbroken sur
face of water. without sign of the event
which trnnspired during the night. The
circumstance has awakened much specu-
lation rs to the cause, which produced
this truly remarkable result, and yester-
dny number of gentlemen went down
to tae Pass, on the revenue cutter John
a. Dix, to see the island. The sudden
appearance Of what are known as mud
Jumps in the passes of the river, is no
unusual occurrence, but we have no re-
collection of any on 80 large a scale as
this one.-Ne,o Orleans Times.

The whole trouble about the British
Consul at Port-au-Pais, Hnyti, several
days ago, grew out of the fnct that he
landed Mt that point Mt IL o'clock at
night, without q lantern, which, being an
infringement of the city ordinances, led
to his arrest. There >wns no insult in

take care to buy lantern before he

mander Lyons has given up the idea of
shelling the town. Everything has
been satisfactorily explained on both
sides. People who land at Port-au-Pais
during the night must provide them
selves with lanterns.

A GREAT THURMAN GoNE.-Late Lon
don files contain handsome notices of
Sir Joseph Hawiey, in whose recent
death in London the British turf has
sustained 80 severe loss. There has
been no lack of conspicuous patrons of
horse-racing in England of lnte years,
but among the generation of living
sportsmcn who have passed their fiftieth
year, there is no disposition to deny that
Sir Joseph has written his name as
deeply across the scroll Of turf history
ns any member of the Jockey Club ever
inscribed upon its lengthy roll. For n
quarter Of century and more his name
hns been n household word wherever the
English turf Was talked Of His tri-
umphs on the race-course have never
been surpassed, even if they have ever
been equalled. They comprise four
Derbies, one Oaks, one st. Leger, three
Ascot cups, two Doncnster cups, and one
Goodwood cup, to say nothing Of II host
of minor victories. Moreover, the
energy and industry with which the de-
censed Baronet pursued his fnvorite sport
nre not unworthy of imitation by his
younger Successors.

The Emperor Pedro II, of Brazil, in
his speech, tho other day, gave very
finttering view of affairs in his domi-
mons. The negotiations with the Ar
gentine Republic, referred to in the
despatch, relate to an attempt of TINT
Government to restrict the free naviga-
ton Of the La Olata River and its tribu-
taries by fortifying the Island Of Martin
Garcin, which is the key to the commerce
of that region, and is situated at the
junction Of the Uruguay and PARMA
Rivers. According TO the terms of q
treaty between England, France, the
United States, Brazil and the Argentine
Republic, this island is to remain neu-
trail, and is never to be fortified. Don
Pedro throws the responsibility of set
tling the religious difficulties in Brazil
upon the National Legislature, He has
not the slightest intention of abdicating
his throne.

many Of our forefathers died. The sick

Thousands are now pushing for the Pa

The labor market there is over-stocked

migration is unprecedently heavy. The

will be we'll for this country when we no
longer have q West to emigrate to. When
that time comes, the growth Of the nation
will react toward its centre. The popu-
lation Of the great Central States and the
Mississippi Valley can be doubled, and
yet not reach more than 100000 to the
square mile. The country will grow in
q different way. Great manufacturing
cities will arise; interior towns and cities
will be built up; coal and iron resources
will be more fully developed; and thero
will not be suoh unequal conditions as

The South earned the right a hundred
years ago to have its gallant deeds in the
war for independence celebrated upon
their hundredth anniversary, and the
Mecklenbnrg Centennial, which will
take place at Charlotte, N. c., May 90,
will be tho initial ovent of tho kind in
that section. The skeptics in regard to
the genuineness Of the Declaration OF
Independence, which is alleged to have
taken place there, do not seem to be on
the popular side, and not q doubt will
disturb the minds Of the thousands who
arc getting ready to lend their presence
and enthusiasm to swell the Significance
of the occasion. The attendance pre-
dicted has been placed as high ns 80, 900,
and the good people of the town have
been and are straining every nerve to
meet the extraordinary demands that
will be made upon their hospitality.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston will be Chiei
Marshal, and Hon. John Kerr, one of the
best speakers in the State orator of the
day. The Charlotte celebration is to be
patriotic affair, at all events, and the
section has many valuable traditions and
interesting souvenirs to give ecldt to the
occasion. When the country ut large
sees the South as we'll as the North cele.
brnting the events of their common
origin, the spectacle ought to establish
the conviction everywhere that their in.
terests and purposes are likewise identi
cal to-day.

DEATH OF Cor. JonN t. Mon,:H. Ii is
our sad duty to record the death of an
other of the prominent and useful citi-
zcns of Sumter. On Monday last, the
remains OF Col. John i. Moore were con
signed to the bosom of their mother
dust, after impressive obscuuics ut the
Church of the Holy Cross, Statcburg.
Col. Moore was one of our large hearted,
philosophical, educated and cntcrpris-
ing citizens, and one of the largest
plnnters Of our County. Quailing not
before the great difficulties and changes
experienced by the results of the wnr,
he WAS one Of those who, with undated
energy. grappled with these, and by adj
dressing himself practically to the situn-
tion, worked out from it large measure
of success. The death Of Col Moore in
wolves a heavy loss to the County, and
must be severely felt in the onward
movement of developing the agricultural
enterprise and resources Of the State, in
which he was leading spirit.

MIR. EDITOR: In reference to an article in
the Argus of this date, allow me to say that
four or five years ago, when was on Exchange
street. Charles Clark, the then City Marshal,
gave notice that al the barber shops except
those in the hotels must close Sundays. Invent
and saw him and said that he must not expect
me to close my shop on that day, when others
were allowed to open, and if the law was
not enforced on all alike should keep my
shop open; and l did. The result was
that 1 was brought before the court and fined.
| appealed and gave bonds to appear at Q high
er court After the matter had quieted down,
went up and paid my fine and costs, amount
ing to about $40, and left, wiser, if not bet
ter man.
The case is not changed; am of the same
mind now as 1 was then think the shops
should be closed on that day The BARRIERS do
not want to work Sunday, and do Dot CONSIDER
It work of n. cessity, inside or outside of a
hotel, but the hotel keepers compel the BARRIERS
connected with them to work. MIR. Stevens
| testified in court to-day that if Mr.. Pike did
not open his shop Sundays that he would hire a
man on his own account to do the work OF the
| house. Mr. Waterhouse testified that Mr.. YORK
| 'uld not have the room I'm ess he worried on
that day. Two leading hotel BARRIERS told ne
I to-day that they wanted the case TO go against
| the hotels. SO you see the case is not barber
against barber. The hotel men are determined
l to make those men work against their will,
