The Plttsburg Post says:

John Sherman promised to resume specie
payments on January /, but he actually sus-
pended on that day everywhere except in New
York. Resumption was possible because the
country came up to it, after passing through
-four years travail and unparalleled suffering;
but just as everybody was congratulating
themselves that general resumption had
come around, independent Of acts Of Con-
|gress. the Secretary Of the Treasury throws
doubt upon the ability Of the government to
stand run, II started, and for the first time,
the United States Treasury repudiates Its
obligations to pay coin at any point except
New York"
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-09

The st. Louis 1fmes-Joursaal says: "Buf-
falo is asking for an appropriation Of S1,7s5,-
|0oo from the public funds to complete her
breakwater. The Lower Mississippi Valley
asks only about twice this amount to protect
thousands OF acres Of valuable land from
overflow. Yet the people of that section are
coolly informed by the breakwater people Of
the Northern lakes that they must build their
own levees 1t Is all right for the govern
|ment to spend vast sums in the North. When
|the South asks for the crumbs that are left
after the feast, she is quietly advised to con-
|struct her own public works. This is a part
|Of the system that has made the South
|ss0lld."

This week we send out a paper printed
in our W office; and whether the seIec-
tions and general reading matter shall APP
pear as good as those in our "patent ont
side" or not is a question which we will
leave for Others to decide. Be this as il
may, we tlatter ourselves that we can
select and prepare reading matter for our
subscribers that will be more suitable to
their tastes and wishes than can some one
else who knows nothing of the character
and wants of those who read our paper
Ripley Sentinel.
You have taken the proper step,
Bro. Spight, and you will soon ex-
perlence the advantages Of a paper
edited and printed entirely at home
one which is partly edited and
printed by strangers to the wants
Of your subscribers.
You will not only select and pre-
pare matter more suitable to the
wants of your readers, but you will
also find you have made a wise
step financially. Advertisers do
not %patronize patent side papers
extensively, neither do they give
satisfaction to home readers. Sue
cess to you aud the change made.

LAST Sunday morning a very
remarkable explosion, the result of
a stroke of lightning, occurred in
the suburbs of Chicago. The
Oriental powder coIDpany's maya
zine, containing over $4,000 pounds
of gunpOwder, was touched off a
keg or two at the time, and the
whole went up in smoke. People
living less than three blocks distant
neither saw the flash, heard the
noise, nor felt the shock. A barn
800 feet off had its roof covered
with fragments from the wreck, but
not a window pane was shattered /;
while within a radius of three
quarters of a mile was an aggre-
gate of over 10000 pounds of
powder stored in different maya
zines, none of them being in the
least disturbed. The small amount
Of damage done and the little fuss
occasioned by the explosion consti-
tntes a genuine novelty in casual

Some Facts Connected With Our

PAscAGouLA, Miss, May 90, ISL

P~AscAGouLA, Miss, May 90, 1873. %
Editor Democrat-Star:t .u., .-w gr.
MI. T. ii. Prescott says in his
Volume of the World, published
in 1858 (page 2G1l, that "Missis-
sippi has a sea coast of only about
20 miles, with no harbor in this
distance which admits large YES
sells. A chain of low and sandy
islands along the coast enclose Pas
cagoula bay, which is IS miles long
and 7 miles wide, forming an4Iin-
land navigation between Mobile
bay and Lake Bonrgne, which
communicates with the gulf OF
Mexico byia number Of entrances
that admit small vessels requiring
eight feet of water" ''" otj. f'.I'
Where he (Mr. Prescott) found
such a remarkable survey of the
bay ana passes as stated in his
book is the question for coast sur
veyOrS to answer. Perhaps Mr..
Columbus made it on his first visit
to this country in 1892. | have not
had time to examine Mr.. PrescOtt's
book, but he must he the gentle
mar that gave Such "A fine dcscrip-
ton of Napoleon BOnaparte cross
ing the Rocky mountains.
The bay has an anchorage of "a
feet at both passes, and ranges
from 8 to II miles wide, instead OF
Z miles, as Mr.. Prescott puts it.
The pass at Horn island comes
into the bay some 10 miles south
east, and the pass at Ship island
some % miles south west of the
port of Pascag0ula. Horn island
pass was first cut or opened 10y tue
hurricane of 1888, and has now a
depth OF Ii or II feet of water,
ami is cutting deeper every year,
or with every heavy gale from the
southeast, and whcre there WAS
once an island called Massacre
island there is now some IL feet Of
water.
Although the pass and hntbOr ut
island are not 50 near as Horn
island the vessels arriving there
enter at P~ascagoula and are loaded
from ~PaSCag0ula, aud the citizens
of this place shonld ever remember
gratitude the gentlemen who
brought the business of Ship
to their doors. ...r'.
The records of the customhouSe
show that AIS vessels entered and
cleared at this port from June 80,
1915, to June 30, 1877, and that is
not one-fitth of the number of YES
sells that come and go coastwise,
under license, as tue Gus
IONS officer informs me that he has
boarded as many as ten schooners

And now that the United States
engineers are nearly ready to begin
work on the mouth of the river, it
appears to me that it is about time
the members of congress from
