reserves and can replace the whole
army now in the field by next sum-
mer if necessary. The Turks, like
the Confederates, are brave, DASH
ing, fearless soldiers, ready, upon
any occasion to fight at a disadvan-
tage, while the Russians move more
slowly, but are cool, determined,
patient and determined to win at
last They have met reverseS, but,
like the Federals after Bull Run,
they begin to get interested in the
war, and will come again and again.
Public sympathy may yeer around
in favor of the Turks on &C

unless there is outside interference

part of the Russians the Ottomans

A nailvay wlthou. businesa.

Henry Meiggs, having construct
ed for the Peruvian government a
railway from the City of Lima to
the plateau of the Andes, a distance
of about 100 miles, at an average
grade of nearly 100 feet to the mile
and an average of $500, 900 per mile,
the government soon finds that it
does not pay, Sand it is proposed
to make it pay by means of a gov
eminent loan or subsidy to aid
Meiggs in reopening and develop
ing the old abandoned mines of the
country Of the Incas and the Span
ish Conquestadors. The road is
the greatest marvel of modern en-
cheering in the world. 1t has
higher bridges, more miles of tun-
mel and reaches a greater altitude
than anyother 800 feet
above sea level, and that in 1870
miles. But it commands no trade,
because the region it passes through
is non-productive rock, and the
place of its ending is in a stagnant
condition. 1t has not reached the
navigable waters of the Amazon,
and when it does the t%rans-eonti-
mental trade will not of itself be
sufficient to make it pay. Some
thing must therefore be done to
create a way trade, and this desid-
eratum is to be met in the reopen
ing of silver mines, reputed to be
among the richest ever worked,
but not worked for centuries for
want of capital and other facilities.
But for the opportune discoveries
and development of the Comstock
and other mines in Nevada and
Utah it is doubtful that the Cen
trail Pacific railway would ever have
paid dividends to its proprietors.
The through trade, though far
greater than that which the Peru
VANS can expect, has not so far
been enough to support the road.

A Novel REMEDY Against ORE

One Of the ex-oficers of South Caro-
lima, among the suhdry charges Of his
Office. had "one chignon." The Charles
ton News and Courier makes this ex.
PLANTATION for him:
I'VE have it, however, upon good au-
thority, that there was nothing criminal
even in this apparent stretch Of, the
privilege Of furnishing an office. Mr..
Leslie was VIGOROUSLY industrious, i'm
patient, observant and inventive. In
the first days Of his occupancy of his
luxurious office be was excessively an
noyed by the interruption Of callers, to
crafty whose idle curiosity be was
obliged to leave his work. Walking
down the street one day, q weil'dresssd
female figure in a store door caught his
eye, and wondering why the lady iarried
so long, he approached, and discovered
that the figure was dummy. He passed
on, meditsting first about the figure,
then, by a natural association Of ideas,
to women iD general, aud next about the
p%oliteness Of Southerners to women, and
just here an original idea struck him.
de was sure that no one, at least no
Soutberner, would attempt to interrupt
him while be seemed TO be talking to a
woman. If a quick-sighted New Yorker
could mistake a dummy for a lady, why
should not other reople2 No sooner
thought than done. ibe figure was made
and placed in his cfice. Leslie worked

THE TuRCO.RussIAN WAR.

The Russians made a great mis-
take at Pleyna in attacking a strong
position with an inferior and an
unsupported force. A repulse was
inevitable. But the Turkish com.
mander, Suleiman Pasha, made a
greater blunder in throwing his en-
tire army against the Russians at
Shipka Pass, an almost impregnable
position. He has gained some
ground, but at a terrible loss of life.
This war, in point Of numbers en-
gagged, reminds us of the late civil
war in this country. After the first
year the C~onCederates had almost
their entire available force in the
field, and even sent out officers IL
cOnScript boys and old men. From
that time on defamation did it,
sure work, while the Federals had
only begun fairly to recruit. Al
the surrender the Confederate regi
ments were mere skeletons, ant
some times captains We're found il
command of regiments, and cvel
of brigades. 1t was only
question of time when a supe
rior and increasing force coul,
wear out the smaller one, cut o.
from all resources. Grant under
stood this and acted upon it regard
less Of the loss of life. Hence b
became a great general. The Turk
ish army now in the field is as larg
as it viii ever be, because it CON
prises nearly all the fighting ms
terial in the Ottoman empir,

rHE LEpeER OF sEPEEMBER FIRsr.

The LEDGER enters tomorrow
upon the first number of its twenty
fifth volume, and will issue one of
the handsomest sheets ever printed
in Memphis. New paper has been
ordered from the North for this
issue, also new ink and other ma
terial. A very large edition will be
printed. We do not expect to write
up every enterprise in the place or
to advertise every firm, but We will
at least give q good idea of the pro-
gress and general business of the
city. While indulging in no fulsome
notices, we shall endeayor to give
correct representations, such as
shall make a fair and truthful
impression abroad as well as at
home. Many of the leading and
representative houses of the city
have spoken for space and will be
appropriately noticed. The trade
review will be neither too long nor
too sholt, but a concise and re-
liable statement, easily under
stood and remembered, and devoid
Of tiresOme end useless details.
In closing volume XIV with to-
days issue we recur with great sat
isfaction to the success Of the
LEDGER and the place it has gained
among the people through many
years of toll and discouragements
to which others have had to sue
cumb. 1t is one of the few sue
cessful and prosperous evening pa
pers in the United States. Even
Louisville, a city of nearly three
times the population, never sue
ceeded in maintaining an afternoon
paper. The LEDGER has stood by
the people, and they have in general
approved our course. We have al
ways sought to find out what was
right and then advocated it, regard.
less of cost or consequences. 1t is
needless to say that as long as the
present management lasts the same
course will be pursued. We have
every encouragement to 60 on: q
widening field, increasing circula
ton, the prestige of success and thu
desire to deserve it in future-aI

Tomorrow we shall greet our ole

MEMPHIS was a small place in
1882, but even then it was an ac.
tive, important point, and had a
well-printed newspaper. We have
fallen in possession of a copy of the
Western Times and Memphis
Commercial Advertiser" dated
June Is, 1882. 1t is an interesting
old paper, dlngy with age and
doubtless the only copy in exist
ence. We have prepared a liberal
synopsis of its contents for to-mOr-
rows LEDGER, which viii be found
of general interest, especiallyto the
Old-time residents of this city and
county. The business men adver-
tised literally then, and we have
given in the article prepared a list
Of nearly all their names. They
have all passed away, except three
or four, and they have long since
retired from active life.
