i The mule has a noble future before him In
England. The English government ordered
some two hundred Kentucky mules the other
day, for service In South Africa against the
zulus. These were shipped via New York
and Liverpool In the latter city they were
put on exhibition, and received the highest
encomiums OF the lookers-on. So pleased
were d number Of capitalists who were pres
ent with these animals that large shipment
of them were ordered at once for use on the
English tramways. These seemed to have
performed their work satisfactorily, and have
i completely won the English heart, and the
demand for mules on that island is now some
thing terrific. Is 1t that England, the home
OF last horses, Is to fall prey, like the South,
to the mule?

BRINGING ABOUT THE END.

It is proposed to flood the Desert Of Sahara
by means Of canal leading from the ocean
and thus convert it into an inland sea. The
desert is from 500 to 700 feet below the sea
level, and contains nearly 100000 square
miles. Now 1t liz well known to geological
mathematicians that the equilibrium of the
world has been disturbed more than once by
accretions Of Ice at the North Pole and
diminution at the South, or vice yersa,
and that when one Of these dis
turbances have occurred continents
have been swept away and the entire
geography of the earth completely altered
AT present the weight OF the North Pole Is
diminishing BY loss Of ice, while the South
Pole Is gaining, and biologists assert that in
few centuries the center Of gravity will be
so far changed as to cause Uplifting Of the
orb, consequent rush Of waters over the
continents and general destruction of land
marks.
Now, might not the flooding Of Sahara
bring about this cheerful wind-up a little pre-
maturely2 The weight Of body Of water
1900, 900 square miles In area and from 700 to
800 feet In depth Is no small consideration in
the equipoise Of our planet, and might easl-
~ bring about the awful change without
warning. As it Is to be pre-supposed that the
projectors Of the Saharan sea have no such
end In view as the destruction Of the world, ii
would be well for them to figure awhile on the
probabilities of such catastrophe occurring
as that we have set forth, before entering
upon work which threatens SO much. Let

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION.

we learn from our press dispatches that
Louisiana having been allowed one represen-
tatlve among the engineers upon the Mlssis-
s1ppi River Commission, the Congressional
delegation from this State suggested the
names Of Gen. q. r Beauregard and Col. =. Z.
Claiborne to the President for appointment.
The name Of the latter gentleman was sug-
gested by che DEMOCRAT In advance OF the
passage OF the bill, as one OF the representa-
tives Of Louisiana upon the commission. The
President has unoffeially s1gnif1ed his inten-
ton to appoint Gen. Beauregard as member
representing one OF the civil engineers upon
the commission.
The appointment and confirmation OF Gen.
Beauregard will. we believe, prove acceptable
to the people OF Louisiana, as d recognition OF
the worth and past services OF one OF the most
experienced civil and military engineers In
the country.
While an officer In the old United States
army the General has been frequently en-
ployed by the government in surveys and exc
aminations Of the Mississippi river and its
mouths as were Generals Barnard and
Weitzel (then Major Barnard and Lieutenant
Weitzel), during the time that they we're sta
toned here, which was between 1848 and 1858.
We think the appointment of the two military
engineers we have named upon the commits
sion would also tend to insure satisfactory
result Of the proposed survey, and the presen-
tation OF some plans or methods for accom-
plishing the purposes proposed which could
the soonest be put into practical effect.
We trust, however, in view OF the fact that
Louisiana has atypIlt nine hundred miles O1
leYee front on the Mississippi river, that the
President will reconsider his determination to
make but one appointment from Louisiana
and add the name OF our distinguished fellow.

q New York La threatenened with another ele-
waited railroad running along Fourth Avenue,
Lafayette Place, Park Row and Lower Broad
way. The other elevated railroads do not
object to this new one, but the aristocratic
sdenizens OF those streets which 1t 10 pro.
posed to make uninhabitable by the noisy,
thunderinR roads, are naturally alarmed.
Elevated railroads are now all the rage In
Manhattan, and that city promises to be soon
rridironed by them; In which event the ques-
tion Of rapid transit will have been solved
and the whole population driven out Of New
York city at the same time.

THE FRUIT GROWERS ASSOCIATION.

The exhibition that the Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION proposes to give III Exposition Hall
In this city On the ninth OF July promises to
be prominent event Ia the history Of South
ern agriculture.
The Gulf States are famous for the produc-
ton OF the greatest variety and finest quail
ties Of fruits grown on this continent, or, In
fact anywhere in the world. The list en-
braces the rich products Of two zones. In
our Gulf States the golden fruits OF the
tropics attain degree of perfection not even
reached In their homes among the islands Of
the Gulf Of Mexico and Of the Mediterranean
sea- while the soil Of these States bears In
bountiful abundance the choicest fruits OF the
north temperate zone.
The display Of such fruits, with indigen-
GUS plants, rare flowers and valuable
exotics, will be enough to make the
Fruit Growers exhibition extremely at
tractive. But the gentlemen who have the
matter Ia charge propose to make 1t more
interesting by exhibiting nearly ell the valu-
able agricultural products Of the South In
their most perfected state. They will also
add an Industrial department to the exhibit
ton tor the purpose Of showing the products
and articles made and finished In Southern
manufactures.
We feel that our people properly appreciate
the Importance Of this coming exhibition, and
will do all In their powerto encourage it, The
projectors Of the undertaking have our best
wishes for their complete success as a result
Of the worthy task on which they have en-
tered. Their success Id the matter will do
much to further the advancement Of our agri-
| cultural Industries. ...-~

A SERIOUS CALAMITY.

The burning of the large building con-
tanning the machinery and the ware
houses Of the Crescent City Oil Company is a
loss to this city much to be deplored at any
time, but particularly at the present The
company's extensive factory was entirely
equipped and fitted with new machinery Id
the summer and fall of 1876. The factory
commenced operations In the beginning OF
October Of that year, and since that time has
been running with regularity. 1t has played
an important part among our manufacturing
interests, has afforded direct employment to
more than q hundred operatives living In
New Orleans and it's suburbs, beside reauir-
ing the work Of q large force Of men who
were engaged in the country gathering and
boating cotton seed to this point. It has occu-
pied prominent position III helping to In
crease our rapidly growing export trade In
cotton seed oil and cake, while II has fur
nished many Of our planters with one Of the
most valuable and economical commercial
fertilizers, cotton seed meal
The loss OF this factory will be q calamity
seriously felt BY large number Of our citizens
who have been afforded profitable employ
ment during It's operations.
The enterprise manifested in It's erection was
leading characteristic OF the prominent
citizens who are members OF the company
With the display Of great energy and zeal
and an enormous outlay Of money they
erected one OF the largest manufactures IN
the South. Their factory building and ware
houses covered more than hundred thousand
square feet of ground. The main building
was fitted with the most costly improved ma
chimney. The chief driving engine, a Corliss
engine, was one Of the most beautiful and
powerful pieces Of mechanism In the country,
To give some idea of Its proportions 1t Is
only sufficient to say that one part of it, the
key wheel, weighed eighteen tons. 1t Is to be
presumed that In such fire all the extensive
machinery In the factory will prove to be a
| total loss
| The gentlemen who compose the company
have our sincere sympathy for the great loss
that they have sustained.
