Memphis Ledger: The big James How
ard, en- route from New Orleans to Cairo,
took on here 23l0 bales of eastern bound
cotton, but owing to the heavy Ice in the
river and fears Of a gorge at Columbus,
dropped down this morning to Fort Picker

navigation is fully resumed.
New Orleans Times: The many friends
OF Capt. Thos. w. Shields, the popular
agent Of the Anchor Line at Cairo, will
sympathisc with him in the loss of his
father, Gen. Vim. Shields, who expired at
1890 O'Clock last night. The General was
nearly seyenty-two years of age, and until
his recent illness assailed him was as hale
and hearty man as walked the streets of
st. Louis.
There has been no material change in
the condition ofthe rivers at this point The
Ohio is still packed With ice from shore to
shore, but the Jumps are much smaller and
not so hard, and continue to move along,
and the probabilities are that we will have
an open stream before many hours, as
tight freeze up above Paducah is reported.
At Belmont the ice is reported running
very heavy, but no danger Of a gorge is
apprehendcd.'

" ~WtN "okN y AhVAA
thing Of Statesman After All.
GAINESVILLE Enterprise.
There will DO ageneral regret amongst
thoughtful citizens, that the necessities OF
the politicians have caused the withdrawal
OF Ross ]. Alexander from public life.
Nr. Alexander was not personally Solicit
tous for a term as Representative, but his
friends insisted that his nan should be
presented to the Democratic Convention.
Another candidate was selected mainly
for the reason that Mr.. Alexander had
been active in defeating the lemoval pro-
ject. The Democrats generally regret this
sacrifice, and had any less prize than q
United States S~enatorship been at stake
they would not have consented to make 1t.
Mr.. AleXander's course while in the Legis.
lature, may not have been agreeable to
some o~tice-holders and office seekers, but
the people generally were pleased with
his record. He need have no regrets that
his term has closed, for it was all that his
best friends anticipated, and worthy of
any man. He has labored sincerely and
honestly to do his duty. He advocated
the strongest temperance laws; he
worked hard 10 reduce the salaries OF
county officers; he prevented some huge
swindles against the State from being con.
spmmated; he reduced the salaries OF
nearly oil. the clerks at the Capitol; he
curtailed the contingent expenses Of all
the State officers, and labored zealously
and with some success to effect the most
stringent economy in allthe State expenses.
Mr.. Alexander was not a mere partisan,
but labored for the welfare Of the people
of the State, often voting against the party
caucus. He was q fearless, independent
representative, able and willing to do ali
he could to increase the happiness, light.
en- the burdens, and promote the pros.
perity Of the people. And this is the
kind OF a man that is sacrificed to a pre.
sumed party necessity What encourages.
ment for men Of Independence and ability
TO devote their time and talents 10 the
weliate OF the people.
Mr.. Alexander retires with the con.
seriousness Of having done his duty, The
office was a small affair TO him, but the
loss Of the services Of such a man is a seri.
GUS deprivation TO a State which usually
sends ~mediocrity instead OF talent 10 its
legislative halls.

GENERAL GIBBoN has had about as
much experience of Indian fighting as
any other officer in the army, and his
advice as to the arms that should be
used to fight Indians with ought to be
needed. He says in the April number
Of the new quarterly, the United Ser
vice, that the small arms at present in
use are defective in Indian fighting
because they are not accurately sighted
nor suitably triggered. The first
thing to be done is to ease the trigger.
"No man" he says, "can shoot ac-
curately rife which requires seven
pound weight to be brought to bear
upon the trigger" and yet that is
the measure of the force required to
fire off an army rife. The Indians
and frontiersmen, and all the sharp
shooters, at Creedmoor and elsewhere,
have hair-triggers in their guns. They
also have their front-sights filed down
and their hind-sights replaced by what
is known as the buck horn" sight.
This enables them to draw a " fine
sight" and, with hair-trigger, they
can, after a little practice, send ball
home nearly every time. What these
classes have found by experience tc
be useful improvements ought to be
provided for the soldiers at once
Many valuable lives might be saved
thereby 1t does appear, however
that the soldiers got " fine" enough
sights on the last lot of miserable
Cheyennes that they happened to cor

A Young Lady Drops Dead While
Assisting a Baptist Convert.

A special dispatch from Baltimore
is as follows:
A startling tragedy occurred at the
High street Baptist church during the
regular services tonight. The pastor,
Rev. J. I. Craig, had just baptized a
young lady, and the latter, accompa-
MED by Miss Louisa Donaldson, re-
tired to an ante-room below to change
her clothing. While in the act Of
assisting the convert Miss Donaldson
inquired if she did not feel purer and
more heavenly after being baptized,
and added: " / would like to tell you
something, but -" and before COM
pleting the sentence she fell forward
unconscious. The young lady ran into
the church for her friends, and alarm
ed the congregation, causing, for some
moments, almost a panic. Physicians
were sent for, but as the first one ar
rived, Miss Donaldson expired. Heart
disease is supposed to have been the
cause of her death.
