Mississippi Levees and Navigators.

The Cincinnati Commercial is ievoting consid-
cradle attention to the plans for banking the Mis-
sissippi at the expense of the United States, and
to the value Of the jctty system of Mr.. Eads for
the improvement of the navig alton of that river
1t has already presented good authority for the
assumption that the Mississippi river will afford
little trouble require the expenditure of little
money if ii is allowed to pass into the gulf through
number Of outlets instead Of trying to keep its
waters within single channel.
In q recent article the Commercial gives al
length the experience Of the French Government,
with jetties in the mouth of the Rhone. There
the plsn was tried of damming up several Of the
outlets and putting jetties in the main one in or
der to deepen the channel over q bar. After
test of more than ten years the system is con
demned as worse than worthless, because it ba:
proved very expensive, made the adjacent country
unhealthy and utterly failedfto deepen the MAR
channel.
The agitation Of this question is very timely ant
the statements and facts presented should intu
ence Congress to fully investigate this question
before it assumes the responsibility of making
banks for the Mississippi and accepting the eXpen
sive plan of Captain Eads for deepening the chan
mel of the river.

Osman Pasha's History.


THE TURKISH MINISTER FURNISHES PLATTER
ING SKETCH OF THE VICTOR OF PLEvNA.
The Turkish NJ mister to the United States fur
nishes the follow ing: "Osman Psshs began his
studies under the care Of his brother, the late
Hussein Effendi, Professor of Arabic in the pre-
paratory School at Constsntinople. whittier osmsn
Pasha came from Tokat at his brothers sugges-
tons, and who shortly after mad him admitted to
the same school. When sufficiently prepared by
his relative young Osman entered the military
school, which, after brilliant examination, he
left with the rank of Lieutenant. Intelligent and
laborious, he was always foremost in his class
while in the military school. bis COMMISSION as
Lieutenant says that he came out first in the maj
exam nations. 0sman's entrance to the army took
place In 1852, and conceded with the beginning oil
the Crimean war lie had scarcely donned his
uniform. when. with some of his associates, be
was appointed on the staff and sent to Shumla.
On the battle field as well at the school desk
sman Efendi was remarked by his chiefs Tor his
GOODNESS and military capacities, which began
10 prove so eminent that the rank of Captain, and
soon after Adjutant was conferred upon him.
The campaign over, Osman Pasha returned to Con-
stantinople and entered with his rank OF captain
into the Imperial Guard. Before long he obtained
the rank of commandant of battalion of the In
perial Guard, with which he was sent to Crete
during the Instruction of that island From the
first to the last moment he was present in every
movement of the campaign against the insur-
gents.
"Peace being restored in Crete he came back to
Constantinople, this time IT'D the epaulets OF col
one, won after two years Of constant fighting.
During his stay at the capital Osman Pasha was
connected with various ilitary duties and intrus
ted with several missions, which obtained for him
q promotion TO the grade of brigader-general,
and, lastly, an appointment on the staff of the
Fifth Army Corps as general Of division. In that
position, as in the previous ones, Osman Pasha's
activity did not re lax, and his services became
daily more important and valuable. 1t was at the
time when he was the Chief of Staff Of the Fourth
Army Corps that be placed in command OF
the division at Widdin. After his gallant conduct
before Zaitchar and in reward for his eminent SER
vices in the war against Serbia an trade from the
Sultan raised him to the rank of Muchir MAR
shal). Osman Pasha is still young. Well-educat-
ed and brave, his victories at Plevna are the re-
wards of life of labor and devotion for his coun
try and his sovereign. His Imperial Majesty, who
fully appreciates him, has given him the most fiat
tering evidence Of mis- high satisfaction"

1t is the duty of every person who has used
Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful quail
ties be known to their friends in curing consump-
ion, severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No per-

doses will relieve any CASE and we consider it the
duty Of all druggists to recommend it to the poor
dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
10000 dozen bottles we're sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported. Such q

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.
'i Sept. 20, 1877.
[From an Occasional Correspond

o. Il = u 4. tpepL ~, 1910
From an Occasional Correspondentl
The New York convention has not paved the
way to victory but is likely to create wide spread
dissension in the Republican ranks. The tone OF
the master spirit was too bitter to-sut the views
ofa goodly portion Of The audience, i. 4. the Re-
publcsns throughout the State. The way in
which the Offices went begging on the last day,
shows the spirit in which the utterances of the
leaders of the convention were received.
The disbelief in the Presidents policy, which
Mr.. Platt proclaimed, is undoubtedly shared by
large numbers who censure his speech. While a
policy is, as yet INFESTED, each republican should
be allowed to have his own views on its expedien.
cy; and it should be the object of each to preserve
harmony in our ranks. What is needed in New
York to carry the coming election, is thorough
union of all republicans. To create discord gives
the victory to the democrats. .t
The President has returned from his tour, wei Il
pleased with the, manner, in which the southern
States received him. Just now be is holding q
pow-wow with the Sioux. The savage, strange
to say, is like the civilized man in this-he has q
fondness for bis houe and protests az aiust being
driven from it.
1t will take great deal Of money to make good
the loss to the government caused by the burning of
the Patent Office. Not much injury otherwise has
been done, Is the models which were of value can
be rsplaced. Asd no importsn. papers or books
were lost, The ease with which the flames de-
yourea the q fire proof roof, has led to the ap.
