Grenada.

Holly Springs South, DIST.
The terrific and death dealing
plague at Grenada did not come
from the want of quarantine. 1t
was not imported. Its origin, we
are told, was the opening up of a
horrible sink Of pollution, in the
midst Of II town of almost cQuato-
rial heat, which could hardly be
borne with safety out of the arctic
regions, that Of -eishtllS
OF Il mile long, and which in long
process Of time had been filed with
dead carcasseS, and every foul
thing else possible to the sewerage
Of IL town carleSsly attended to-.
What else was Necessary to the pro-
ductiOn of disease Of the most ma
lignant type! The same process
will give the same awful results
wherever the sun of heaven shines
on the face Of the earth with the
vigor and moisture Of this tropical
and misunderstanding summer.

A Jersey City miser named David
Leach has died, leaving $4,000 to Queen
Victoria. Something should be done to
stop this kind of foolishuess. Men like
David Leach should be bounded by their
relatives-not with selfish purpose, but
to prevent them making fools of them.
selves. The name of David Leach will
be known hereafter. where it happens to
be known at ell, as that of the most stu.
%pendous idiot of his period, if indeed it
isn't shove, as it should be, that he is
crazy. Victoria doesn't need that money,
and if she did she could hardly accept it
from such a plebeian source The law.
yers will inevitably get it. 0r-stayl
This seems to be-why, this is dear old
Cousin David! Excuse these tears. 1t
is very sudden. We must see about

The enlargement Of the Louisville
canal, on the Ohio; the digging of
the Mussel Shoals canal, on the
Tennessee; the proper distribution
of snagboats and signal lights in
the Mississippi river, and the deep
ening of its channel until there
shall be a minimum depth of Is
feet from Cairo to New Orleans, are
objects of common interest to all
who dwell upon the Mississippi
river or its tributaries, and any
congressional committee which ma
lures a bill in the interest or any
part of this homogeneous country
must benefit all.

DEvALL's BLUFF, March 6, 1878.
The Ruth, Captain W. O. Harry
in command, passed here on time
for Memphis with 790 bales cotton,
and will have 900 bales out Of the
river, 700 bales being consigned to
Memphis. She has also 20 tons Of
bulk meat, a lot of corn and sum
dries, a fair list of people and a
good number Of orders. We had a
grand Mardi-G ras excursion from
Augusta to Jacksonport, having
over $50 exoursionists, which were
well entertained on board, and all
seemed well pleased with their trip
and enjoyed themselves. The river
is bank-full but has commenced
falling slowly. The Ruth will ar
rive Saturday morning at 9 o'clock
and return in the evening to White
river. ED.
