The ,ie,rish Times discredits the report that
Lady Roseberry, nee Hannah dc Kothschld,
has been publicly cursed in London syna-
gogues for her marriage with n Christian.
The Times admits tho probability OF such n
proceeding on the part of the communities Of
slow Polish Jews about WhitechapcI," who
are capable Of any indoccncy, but denies TINT
IL could have occurred in any synagogue
under the control Of the Jewish ecclesiastical
authorities.
Nor does the Times credit the reported dis
satisfaction at tho marriage In tho Itoths-
child family, and, In this connection, pub
fishes the following extract from n letter Of
the Baroness Charles dc Rothschild on the
occasion of the Rothschild- YorlSe wedding:
1t Is to DO hoped that being liberal sup

THE LEVEEs.

In another place we print some interesting
documents relative to levees and the improve
rnent Of the navigation Of the Mississippi
and Red rivers. Tho difficulty In obtaining
m appropriation for the rebuilding and sx-
tension N our Ieveee seems not TO be In any
measure due TO tho neglect Of Hon. II. w.
Robertson and other members OF Our delega-
tion in Congress. but to the hostility Of n ma
iority Of Congress to appropriating money
7 for the protection Of our aliuvin1 regions.
They claim that such nh appropriation would
be for strictly private purposes. Upon the
other hand. many msmbers who take this.
Wow of the specific appropriation for levees
nre willing and ready to vote m appropria-
ton for lcvees as part Of system for the
Improvement Of the navigation of our grent
inland sea If 1t can be shown that ouch works
are Of real importance to such Improvement.
This accounts for the course Of our friends
in Congress in accepting, MS the prime object
Of the appropriation. the improvement Of
navigation Certainly. under the circum-
stances, they are wise in taking this course.
So long ~ we get the appropriation we do
not particularly care whether It be voted on
the theory that it will improve navigation,
or because ne we claim. IT. Is just 10 vote
it for the specific purpose Of retaining the
aluvial lands.
Among the documents we rcfor to will be
found letter to Hon. T.. W. Robertson from
Cnpt j. A. Aiken. president Of the Red River
Transportation Company, showing the vast
md beneficial effects the construction and
extension of levees on Red river. and even
rudely constructed jetties. have had upon
tho navigation of that stream. Capt. Aiken
has u thorough acquaintance with Red river
and MI Its peculiarities and changes for n
number Of years bnck. and his statement is
one Of great interest and importance to this
subject
Tho views Of Capt. Leathers, referred 10 In
thcsc documents. will also be Of interest, and
must carry great weight with them.
Altogether this correspondence explains
satisfactorily tho course Of our friends on the
levee question and leads us to believe that
In the general system for the improvement Of
the navigation Of the Mississippi tho extern
sion Of our Ieveeg will constitute m integral
and large factor.

Several days ago In Il case be fore Recorder
Smith, Mr. G. g. Haley was n witness. and h is
testimony was taken down by II short
hand reporter At the conclusion Of his tes-
timony the hcroglyphics of the stenograph-
or were presented to him to be signed Haley
declined to sign them on tho ground that he
could not read them. lie said, however, he
was willing to sign transcript The re-
corder insisted on his signing tho hero
glyphics and on his positive refusal to do SO,
sentenced him to pay a fine Of S25 or to be
imprisoned for twenty -four hours Yester-
day the case came before Judge Whitaker on
a writ Of habeas corpus, who remanded the
prisoner on the ground that the recorder had
jurisdiction and tho commitment being In
due form. or course we shall not argue the
law with these judicial luminarics; but we do
think it is very remarkable law, which re-
aures man to sign n document he cannot
read or understand ut the dictation or mag
lstrate, or pay S25 or go to Jail for twenty

The Washington Capital has at least one
pious correspondent. Writing about OCon-
ner's appeal to the Ohio Legislature that
correspondent says his appeal fell upon hearts
of adamant, and adds:
He Is thus taught that the horrible dress of
the convict once put on can never be taken off
save for the shroud Of the grave. Christ
alone can forgive. He who took the thief
from the cross to heaven can pardon but men
cannot forgive or forget. What spectacle
was presented in real life: A deserter an ex-
convict, and evidently a man Of more than
ordinary intellect, a law-maker, pleading for
forgiveness, and Of course pleading In vain
This correspondent IS not well posted this
is progressive age, and a short cut has been
discovered to redemption from crime. Tom
Anderson WAS in as bad, if not worse box
than ever O'Conner was. But Tom wasted no
time on prayers; he didn't have any time
to waste; he had important functions In the
Custom House to discharge, and the Repub-
lican party required his services, SO he
walked up to the Supreme Court and got
n certificate that, though convicted felon,
he was guilty OF no crime, and thus he went
forth an innocent man. Providence itself
could not well heat this miracle. Besides, as
q practical method. 1t is more substantial and
saves time.

TO SUMNER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
Inducements to Eastern and European trav-
eers this season. II should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. It has in fact been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed This enables 1t to make az fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance Of rapid
running its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest road. in the
world. Attention is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Nor hern cities The train leaving at D. m,
one hour later than any other line, makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as its
quickest rival; and the 7 a. m. train makes
one and half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There are no through cars to Neao York by any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
Of cars, which is made in Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at a. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains. Those
going by Chicago pass by day light in full
view of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change of cars from New Orleans to New
York.
