A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Graphic says that the resolution of Gen.
eral Sherman's son to enter the Catholic
priesthood was the result of his mothers
entreaties and her overpo wering influ-
ence, and was not known to his father
until the preparations for his departure
for cloister in Europe were all COM
pleted and his passage on steamer en-
gagged.

IT is rarely that mortgage is long
forgotten as to become outlawed, but
such one has been unearthed on Ball
ston Center, N. Y, farm in searching
the records to perfect the title of H. s.
Morey's purchase. The mortgage was
given in 1928, but no interest has been
paid on it for 80 years, which outlaws it.
1t is supposed the mortgage must have
died intestate, or that the mortgage was
paid but never cancelled,

FROM the report of Allen Campbell,
commissioner of public works, it appears
that the capacity of the Croton aque-
duct is now scarcely equal to the needs
of New York, and that additional means
Of supply are imperatively needed. It
has been proposed to construct second
aqueduct from the Croton basin at .
cost of $l2,00O,0O0, but the great cost
has caused postponement of this plan.
Meanwhile the commissioner recon-
mends the increasing Of the water sup
ply by utilizing the waters of the Bronx
and Housatonic rivers andof Rye pond.

The twelve statues which are to be
placed around the dome of the new cap
itol of Connecticut, are to be cut this
winter, and set in position early next
spring. The Carrera marble blocks
from which they are to be cut, have al
ready arrived at Hartford. Mr.. Rogers
crowning figure, "The Genius of Con-
necticut," has been successfully cast in
bronze at Munich, and will soon be in
its position. The bronze statue weighs
5000 pounds, is very graceful figure,
and is greatly admired by the artists
who have seen the model in Rome.

rather of deep rest than of death.

Much as we have tried to improve our
swine, it must be remembered that what
is gained in quantity and quality of
flesh is at the expense of the bristles, for
the finer the hog the fewer the bristles.
The sale of bristles is an important trade
to Russia, amounting to some 1000, 900
pounds, valued at $5,OOO,0OO. They are
obtained from the wild hogs that roam
in a portion of that immense country.
France supplies 100000 pounds, and
Germany adds to the expectations.

EMBEzzLERs, or those about to embez-
zle, will be gratified to learn that, accord.
ing to an English decision, if person
is sent by his employer to get check
cashed, and spends or pockets the pro-
ceeds, he is not guilty of theft. The
only thing that can be done is to bring
a civil suit for the recovery of the
money. The check is not stolen, because
it was placed in his hands by the owner
for purpose which was accomplished,
and the money is not stolen, because the
owner did not have it in his possession.

Hot Springa The Marlin Speed is
not only a good carrier but has ele-
CANT passenger accommodations
with large, roomy and elegantly
furnished staterooms, and is com.
plete in all her appointments
The Golden Grown passed up
this morning for Cincinnati. She
landed at quarantine, put off her
Memphis freight, passed inspection,
arrived here at 2 am, landed at
Hopeield and laid there until B
am. She had 20 passengers and
900 tons Of freight for the Ohio
river. All were we'll on board and
her officers and passengers were
much astonished at the report
which was circulated of her having
yellow fever on board. Her pas
sengers report no sickness on board
nor none along the river. They
were all in good spirits and enter
tanned no fears Of the yellow fever
among them. Quite a number of
her passengers crossed over to this
city and took rail from here for the
North. The tug took over to her
her mail, ice and other supplies.
The Coahoma, Captain Stacker
Ice. came in last NIGHT from the
lower coast with 81 bales Of cotton,
a lot Of sundries and a big trip of
people as usual. She arrived on
time to connect with the night
trains leaving on the Memphis and
Charleston and Louisville routes.
She leaves this evening with a re-
turn trip for Friar's Point, carrying
the mail and giving strict attention
to all way business. She also makes
all way landings on schedule time,
thus saving the annoyance of delay
at way points. The "SweOt Goa
homa," as she is styled by the bends
folks, is one of the best appointed
passenger steamers that ply the
lower Mississippi. She is first-class
in every particular and is differed
-by experienced and competent boat
men. Captain Ed Thomas, a gen.
tleman who is personally popular
with the shipping and travelling
public, has charge of the office, as
sisted by Billy Smithers and Platt
Rhodes.
The elegant and improved Vint
Shinkle, with the ever popular and
able boatman Captain Sterling Nc
Intyre in command, came in yester-
day afternoon from the Ohio river
with $50 tons Of freight, the follow
ing being the principal items: 1899
sks corn, so pkgs furniture, 211
bbls meal, 135 bbls whisky, 81 bbls
oil, Al casks bacon, So ties lard, 100
buckets lard, LAT bags oats, 20 tons
pig iron, 43S rolls bagging, 40O
bdls paper, 200 stoves and castings,
100 tubs butter, 10 wagons com.
plete, ASS pkgs miscellaneous stuff.
She also did a good way business
and registered 65 cabin passengers
on the trip. She leaves at 5 o'clock
this evening with a return trip,
ticketing passengers through tC
New York and other Eastern citieE
cheaper than ever. The Shinklt
has superior passenger accommoda.
tions, having been recently ftte(
out in magnificent style, while htI
facilities as a carrier are unexcelled
Captain j. A. Lindsay, her purser.
is a gentleman We can recommend
to travellers and shippers as every
way worthy of confidence, and one
who is never more happy thar
when looking after the comfort o.
interests OF others.
