FNGIAND'S ACTIVITY.

LONDON Tuesday, July "a, 1877.
In relation 10 the Mediterranean Teinforcements
there seems to be a general feeling IN the press that
the extent of the preparations are greater than such
q comparatively insignificant measure as the
disnatcb of a reinforcement of 5000 men to the
Malta garrison requires. One paper pertinentIy
irourcs why. as one troop ship could in two trips
take 5000 men. should five troop ships be pre-
pairing with feyerish activity and the preparation Of
two otbers-the Simeon and IIimaaya, at Devon
porr-be in contemplation.
The London papers publish long strings of items
of military and naval intelligence and doubtless PUT
M exaggerated Interpretation on many events such
as the forthcoming Tegmental inspections, etc.,
which may be matters of mere routine which would
rass unnotced in ordinary times. But this shows
the interest evoked and among the mass of news
some certainly indicates that the Government has
an eve 10 eventualities. Thus The IimesS Liverpool
correspondent telcgTaphs: "There is an apparently
wel-fouuded report that provisional charters have
been made with three of the leading steamship COM
pauics To supply each two irst-cass vessels. 1t is
also believed That tho well-knOwn Australian liner
Great Britain is getting ready for account of
the Admiralty, she being exceptionally suited for
the transport of cavalry. There good reason for
stating that the Admiralty have given out large
contracts for ship stores to private firms in Liver
pool"
The Timc's Portsmouth CORE spondcnt says ship
wright, are to be kent employed in relays on the
troop-ships throughout the night Each troop-ship
will carry couple of hat-bOttomed boats, and the
utmost efforts must be made to get these ready.
Nevertheless there is every reason for supposng the
troop-,hips VIII be ready soon as the troops.
The leading articles in the various newspapers do
not seem to take Lord Dcrby's explanation literally.
Thus The Times which advocates non-ntervcnton,
refers to the false and exaggerated Interpretation
which was placed by the extreme section of the sup
porters Of the Ministry on the original dispatch
Of the fleet to Be>ka Bay, and every subsequent
move of the Government. After quoting tie speech
made by Lord Derby. last night, IN the House of
Lords. The Times says: This being the official cX
PLANTATION, we can only regret that the Government
should be fa;ed to produce such misunderstanding"
The Morning Post, which fayors English ntcrven-
ton says the troops not sent out for the purpose
Of defending Malta or Gibraltar. These strongholds
are in no danger and, far as they are concerned,
there is no need 10 add to the forces they at pres
ent possess But events may arise in which 1t will
be necessary for the Government to have close to the
points at which the interests of this country may he

atcy sent TO whatever position 1t may be found nee
essary that they should occupy, the vanguard of

THAT bogus CITY.

J. s. Andrews, of Hartford, Canada,
writes to the STATESMAN asking advice
as to whether he should invest in town
lots in the City of Oxford" This
fictitious place, it is claimed, is in the
county of Milan, and attractive circu-
lars are sent broadcast over some of
the Northern States and Canada, in
which the "Texas Land and Colouiza-
tioH Society,"" 1855 West Fourth street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, propose to give away
lots in the "City OF Oxford" The
giving away process consists in send
ing in return for each dollar sent by
mail one lot in the socalled city. This
dollar, it is claimed, pays for drawing
and recording deed, and, even if there
be a piece of waste land upon which
this imaginary city is located, there is
the grosscst fraud connected with the
proposition; and if the last be the
case, and deeds are recorded, there
must be some one in Milan county,
acting in COLLISION with this company.
To lead parties into the snare it is
stated that special rates have been
made with railroads for those holding
these deeds, who will be notified of
grand excursion which is to take
place in the early future from points of
rendezvous to the great "City of
Oxford" 1t is all hoax. There is
no such place in Texas, and those who
are practicing such swindle upon
people deserve to go to the peniten-
tiary for life. They are probably the
same rascals who sold out Empire
City" and one or two other such cities
in Texas.

DR.. WATSON, the ablest and wisest
Of modern spiritists, does not deny the
inspiration of the Bible or divinity of
Christ. He asserts both. DIR. Wilson
and Major Eldridge deny both. The
Old and New Testaments abound in
illusions to Spirits" They are not
always evil. We are told that Moses
and Elias came back to this world, and
therefore the Marshall Herald says
that ''anyone who will take the
pains to examine, will find the Old and
New Testaments full of accounts of
spiritualism, and that it went far be-
yond, in wonderful phenomena, what
is claimed by its votaries of the pres
ent day. It will also be found that il
il expressly denounced as the agency
OF evil, and any connection with it is
forbidden. Religious persons, there
fore, before they embark in these in
vestigatiOns, would do well to contem-
plate this Fundamental Teaching of
Spiritualism,' and examine the author
ity for their faith. Every intelligent
Christian ought to do this, and satisfy
himself that the Bible is. what it pro-
fesses to be. the word of Cod

LOAs of the Steamer sandy.
BATON ROUGE, May 15.-The steam
er Sandy No. ,, in coming down,
struck log about five miles above
hers last night about II o'clock. Soon
after she commenced sinking and an
alarm was at once given. The pas
sAngers rushed to the upper deck, and
some saved themselves on cotton bales.
The yawl was launched and most of
the women and children placed there
in and were landed safely. The boat,
buoyed up by the cotton, tloated down
the river with two feet of water in her
cabin. When passing here skitfs went
out to her and succeeded in saving the
balance of the passengers and crew.
1t is supposed that three of the crew
were lost. The boat careened, turned
over, and now lies bottom upward
five miles below here. The boat and
most of the cargo, consisting of cotton,
cotton seed, sugar and some cattle, is
a total loss. The passengers lost ev-
erythlng. The boats papers, books,
money, and everything IN the office
went down with the boat.
