Of New Orleans are now striving to Sc
cure for the valley our rightful share OF

that. a number Of passengers, repre-
senting firms in Cincinnati and else
where, are already booked for the first

enemies as they are to themselves it will
be indeed a glorious day for England.
The Shannon, the first vessel OF a new
class, tried to make six hours steam
ing trial at Plymouth few days ago,
but her bearings became SO overheated
that she had to be stopped. After a
week she was still in such shape that
three stoppages for cooling had to be
made in one hour Then 1t was discov-
cred that her bowsprit was out Of place,
so that for ramming purposes she
would be useless; also, that she was 80
overmasted and that such mistakes had
been made in calculating her displace-
ment that she drew twenty three inches
more than had been expected and al
lowed for. At the same time the Fla
mingo set out from Plymouth to Malta,
and during her brief voyage displayed
faults 80 multitudinous and multifarious
that Admiral Rice declared that unless
she was put into better shape in q fort
night he would order her home as use
less. 1t is pleasant and reassuring after
all this to learn that the English naval
authorities are not disheartened, for a
London paper says Of the discouraging
Shannon that probably she will make
one or two more preliminary trials to
discover more exactly her imperfec-
tions."

CoNsTANTINePLE, Sept. 2.-The govern
ment has made proclamation that to-
morrow night the moon is to be eclipsed
and that the people must not be fright
ened, for wise men everywhere know
that the eclipse Of the moon is q natural
phenomenon attended by no disastrous
effects either upon earth or upon the
moon ITSELF This being the case, the
sangling OF tin pans and firing Of guns
by the people OF the earth, at the time
of an elipse, are an entirely unnecessary
and useless disturbance of the peace,
which the government will not
tolerate, drawing the line at guns.
The claugor Of tin pans and
copper kettles may rssound unchecked
until the moon is safely delivered from
its difficulties, but guns never. Any
man who fires a gun shall be arrested
and pay a fine Of 100 piastres, which will
be paid over to the Refugee Aid Fund.
In this connection am reminded Of an
odd difference between the Turks and.
the rest of the world in the computation
of time. The eclipse OF the moon is to-
be en- Thursday night, bat all the Turk
ish papers say Friday night. Both are
right, The Turkish system begins each
day with the night Of it. Friday night
is the night before Friday. The 28d Of
August begins at sunset OF the 22d.
Phis difference in reckoning is q con-
stant pitfall to European editors in this
city, who quote from the Turks vsrb-.
atm, producing much disturbance in.
chronology.

A STORY AFTER MUSCHAUsEN.

A short time ago man named
living on Morris creek, in
the Sierra Nevada mountains, was en-
gagged in making hay. While at work
he got an alfilrea seed in one Of his
ears. He applied to physician, but he
was unable to find or remove the seed.
About ten or twelve days after Mr..
Thompson chanced to be picking at his
afflicted member, when, to his great
surprise, he felt some soft substance
protruding from the cavity Of his ear,
and, pulling at it, was surprised to pull
forth green alfilrea leaf. As soon as
he recovered from his surprise, Mr..
Thompson procured mirror and made
an examination, and observed pro-
truding from his ear the tiny leaves OF
an alfiIrea plant. The seed in his ear
had sprouted and was growing. He Sc
cured pair of tweezers and tried to
pull the plant out. but the leaves were
too young and tender, and broke off,
and left MIR. Thompson in greater des-
pair than ever, as he feels that he will
be compelled to let the plant make a
considerable growth before he can re-
move it. In the meantime, however, he
fears the roots may penetrate to his
brain and kill him.

STEAM. LINES TO SOUTH AMERICA.
[St. Louis Dispatch. I

We learn from our Rio exchanges
that the Brazilian parliament has au-
thorized the government to make
contract with John Roach * Co., of
New York, or whomsoever may oher
better advantages, for line Of steam
navigation between New York and Rio
Janeiro, touching at Para and other
convenient ports in the northern prov
inces. The steamers are to make
monthly voyages, and the suHa of
$1OO, ESQ year Is allowed for the service.
Late advices from Venezuela are to
the effect that the Congress of that Re-
public has granted to G. G. Garmandia
subsidy for monthly line to run
between ports Of that country and New
York. No stronger evidence is needed
of the disposition Of the South Ameri-
can governments to meet US half way
in the establishment Of direct means Of
communication. Let our st. Louis
merchants make note of this, and let
them forcibly irapress on those who
represent us in the coming session OF
Congress the importance Of advocating
and securing for the Mississippi Valley
such governmental aid as will give US
direct lines of steam communication as
far as the mouth OF the La Plata.
The cities Of the Atlantic seaboard
are watching eagerly every movement
inaugurated by the press and people of
the Mississippi Valley, looking to the
establishment Of direct communication

The auriferous black sands of the sea
shore Of Northern California have been

scribed machine that was about being
set up on the beach to test the practiea-
bility of profitably extracting the ex-
ceedingly fine gold dust from the sand.
Every effort heretofore has been fail
ure. There is gold enough in those
miles of ocean sand to pay the national
debt, IL this new process proves success
full; therefore, the report of this first
practical test is of high national impor-
tance. The fne concentrators, after a
months run, gathered twenty tons Of
the sands, we'll cleansed Of the lighter
parts, which don't pay; 30 much

The cost of working was $500. Now
machines are being constructed, which
at the same rate will yield $4,000 a
month at cost Of $4,000, Many at
tempts have for years past been made
along 100 miles Of coast to work these
shifting tidal sands without sue
cess. Now a rush Of pre-emptors is
is expected to stake off claims on the
shores of California and Oregon. The
sands extend under the ocean far be-
yond low water. But every tide and
every storm so shifts the paying points
that claim rich to-day may tomorrow
be covered with barren sands. Never
theless, auriferous ocean sands may
now be considered a new and permanent
source of gold production, rivaling and
probably excelling the great auriferous
gravel deposits worked by hydraulic
| washing. In both it is a question of
cost in separating and gathering small
per cent of gold dust from an immense
body of sand and gravel.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ROEUEs.
ICourier-J6urnal.1

Some conception of the condition of
affairs in South Carolina during the
reign Of the great plundering com bina-
tion which took possession Of the State
at the close Of the war may be formed
from the fact that among the persons
lately indicted at Columbia are two
Governors, one United States Senator.
one Lieutenant Governor, four State
Senators, two Speakers of the House of
Representatives, two members Of the
Legislature, two Congressman, two
State Treasurers, two Controller Cen
erals, one Secretary of State, one Judge
Of the Supreme Court, one Clerk of the
House, one Clerk of the Senate, one
Financial Agent and one Revenue Col
lector. THESE, with perjured legislators
and scores Of corrupt county officials,
are the men who have brought upon the
State so much disgrace and distress. 1t
is no wonder that the more violent lead
ers Of the Republican party have made
so little headway in fighting the Presi-
dents policy. No faction or party can
defend a record so black and live.

THE SECRET SERVICE BUREAU.
TChicago Times.l


WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The investiga-
tion OF the Secret Service Bureau has
formally begun. 1t is proposed to place
the fund appropriated for this bureau in
the hands Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury for disbursement. He, in turn, will
place the catching of counterfeiters and
malefactors in the hands of United
try. This placing special work in the
hands Of men who have no knowledge
Of the business will be very encouraging
to counterfeiters. It is also intended to
procure special men from time to time
by the Secretary Of the Treasery. At
present the bureau has on hand over
$780, 900 in counterfeit money. During
the year, four Of it's men lost their lives
in the service. Its record was never bet
ter. Sherman proposes to remove it to
its old uses-that Of a political ma
chine.
