The cutoff at Vicksburg has greatly
alarmed the citizens. The vicksburg
Herald admits that the river is gone,
and that the only hope for current
past the city is in changing the chan
mel of the YaZoo river, so as to bring
it through the Chicasaw bayou, and
thence in front Of the city to the Mis-

be accomplished at cost of about
$2O0. 900 and adds:
1.-THE main volume of the Yazoo
river could tie diverted through the
bayou, thence into Fish lake, and final

A Story That Ought to Live Forever.

From the London Era.

district story on the details of which
a Bret Harte or Colonel John Hay
would found poem. The other day a
gang of laborers wefe employed stack
ing blocks Of stone on a permanent
way of the Great Western Railroad.
between Keynsham and Bristol. In
fact, the operation of stone stacking
was carried OH within few yards of
the Brislington tunnel. It was at the
time of day when the most wonderful
express train in the world, called the
"Flying Dutchman," was expected.
and by some unlucky accident large
block of stone rolled down the embank-
ment and lodged on the railway line.
At this instant the roar of the ssFlyine
Dutchman' was heard in the tunnel.
There was not moment to be lost, so
swiftly down the bank sped one of the
brave navies to remove the stone and
save hundreds of innocent lives. or
perish in the attempt. He had a wife
and family at home, but he never
thought of them. His life was in his
hand, but he never thought of that.
Down the steep embankment sped the
brave fellow, nerved with the com.
bined strength Of Sisyphus and Atlas,
to move the stone and save his fellow
creatures. - ~...
On sped the "Flying Dutchman !''
''Quick, for your; life Jim,'' shouted

1t is folly for you and some Of the:

of steam-power because there have
been few losses by fire by it's early

were both wanting. The use Of soft
coal instead Of wood, and other i'm.
provements and experience gained in
the last year or so have reduced the
danger from this source, until it is
small compared withSthe advantage

pay for the coal than feed the ten

ADVICE TO COUSINS.

A Philadelphian, growing somewhat
excited over the reports of shameful
dead-beating by people who have rela-
tives there, while visiting the exposi-
ton, says: ':Let me say, gently but
firmly, and in the voice of l3-inch
cannon, that anybody who comes to
Philadelphia this year, and quarters
himself, herself, or itself in the house
of a relative or friend, be it only for
single night, is a selfish and mean
idiot, who ought to be kicked into the
Delaware River. If you have any re.
gard for your friends, you will 80 to a
clearinghouse or hotel, settle your.
self comfortably, go and see the Exhi-
bition, and when you have done it and
are ready to leave town, make your
call, if you choose, at your friend s
house or Office. Don't put youself in
the way OF an invitation, but do your
sightseeing without letting him know
you are in town. He may invite you
ever SO earnestly, but don't believe he
wants you, for he is already run to
death with visitors. If. you can't af-
ford to come and pay your bills hon.
estly, stay at home, or else come with
straw and stove-wood in an old trunk
that will cost ST., register at the hotel
or boarding house under false name,
and then, when you are done with the
Centennial, scoot and let them find
you if they can. ru Mind you,~ don't
suggest this as honest and honorable
conduct, but it has this merit over
sponging: you show yourself in your
true character, instead of sneaking
under cloak of respectfully. If you
have near and real friends in Philadel-
phia, don't drop on them this year.
Come next year. or the one after, or
last year; but stay away from them
now ! " -

STEAM THRESHERS..

A farmer makes the following rather
sensible remarks about steam thresh-
ing machines: 81 wish to say word
to threshers on the growing demand
for the use of steam instead of horse
power for driving our threshing ma
chimes. Our harvest in Minnesota is
late, often not completed until Sep
TENDER, and as the plow cannot be used
much, if any, after November LIST, the
time for that important work is very
short. And when we add to that the
horse-killing labor Of threshing large
crop, we find that in order to properly
complete the work of September and
October we must keep more horses the
whole year, or else sell them when
they bring the lowest price and buy
again when at the highest.
Few of us do either, and the result
is that our blowing is done in hur-
rled and slovenly manner, often not
completed until spring, and as a final
result we harvest crop yielding from
! to 5 bushels less per acre than it
would have been with more thorough
culture, besides depreciating tie value
OF our farms. So much for one side
OF the question. But how will it effect
the thresher? You incur an extra ex-
pense for an engine, it is true. But is
1t not offset by the capital you now
nave invested in the horses you fur

IOWA'S NEW BISHOP.

Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
The unfortunate Episcopal Diocese
of Iowa, after much tribulation, con-
tention, and strife, has elected a head
OF the church to succeed the lamented
Lee. There is little doubt DR.. Eccles-
ton could have been reelected bishop,
yet such an action would have resulted
in disaffection. He therefore wrote a
letter to his friends, couched in noble
Christian language, and magnanimous
in spirit, Which closed as follows

Geneva, N. Y, was elected on the first
ballot, by a vote of 81 to of the laity,
and Al to 3 of the clergy. The
bishop-elect is a man in the prime of
life, with robust, rugged health, and
a great physical endurance, He is an
earnest. devout Christian, highly ed.
ucated, and a gentleman in the strict
sense of the word, mot a beau, fam
ciful drawing-room man, but gentle
man; a man of great integrity, who
scorns artifice or cunning, and who ex-
poets all men, especially professed
Christians, to act sincerely. He is
now president Of the Hobart College,
at Geneva, N. Y. The Diocese of
Iowa must certainly feel proud of the
acquisition Of such man to stand at
the head Of it's church. He cannot
fail to impress his presence upon the
church, command the confidence of
all, and restore harmony throughout
the State. His advent into the house
of bishops will be joyfully greeted by
the whole church of America, and re.

CHEESE IT.

There is a general complaint among
dealers of the poor quality Of cheese
now being manufactured in the North
west. On the introduction of this in
dustry several years ago the produce
ton of our factories was universally
praised, and the fact was fully illus
trated that with proper skill, care and
conveniences our cheese would bear
comparison with that of Ohio and
New York without suffering in conse-
quence. A few days since in the re-
port of the condition of the markets,
we read, sin fact very little cheese is
made in the Northwest: that is a credit
to our cheesemakers, or that would
grade better than ''white oak" at the
East. AS a consequence a consider
able proportion Of the consumption
here consists Of New. York and Ohio
factory. This does not speak we'll for
our factorymen, who are operating all
around us, for we do not import but
ter, nor eggs, nor wheat, nor -four, nor
several other articles which we pro-
duce at home. We advise persons in
charge of factories to bestir them
selves, and to improve the quality of
their cheese to the highest point of
excellence, rather than to remain con-
tent to manufacture an article even
their neighbors refuse to buy if any
other is to be had. The specimens of
new so far received have sold at 10 to
l2c. as to quality and condition.

CATHOLIC AMERICA.

A Centennial address to the .Catho.
lies of the United States was delivered
by the Rev. F. X. Weninger, D. D. at
a netting of the delegates of the Ro-
man Catholic Central society at Phila-
delphia. After few Introductory re-
marks, DR.. Weninger, said that no
sooner was the extreme northern por-
ton of @Americasdisc and inhab-
tied than the mother church turned
her eyes upon it. The proofs of this
are in the churches and the episcopal
see of Greenland. And for consider
able time after Columbus raised the
cross upon the shore of the new world,
all the Europeans who stepped upon
the American ground were Catholics.
The name Of the. country, too, is that
of a Catholic. ssThis," he continued,
''is not the case with the other por-
tons of the world, and in all would
seem to be an augury that America is
that part of the world in which a
grand and most important future is
destined for the Catholic church, and
this at an epoch when Time is incling
to it's end. It is from America that
the sun daily goes down toward the
night of Time.'' re-
DR.. Weninger thought the great OBJ
stacle to the efforts of the different
kinds of lay-apostolate was the wide
spread belief that the Catholic'church
is by nature opposed to the republican
institutions of America. On the con-
trary, he said, the pope had declared,
by giving cardinal to this country,
that our institutions do not conflict
with the principles and aims Of
Of the Catholic Church. The address
was filled with suggestions as to the
best means of uniting the United
States with the Catholic church, and
closed with this paragraph: ''Catholic
America thou shalt remain mistaken,
the last empire On earth. The founda-
ton. of thy republic shall not give
away until that of the word shall melt
way, when thou shalt celebrate thy
last centennial with the forever vic
torious and triumphant church. on the
eve Of time, in the morning light of
approaching eternity.''

Frederick Lawler, was the son 5of a

that Lawler had spoken ill of him to

to dodge behind the oyster stand and
