thing else of influence and weight in
England, rests squarely on the univer-
sity, and what that means it takes some
insight into the English life to under
stand. The paper addresses the leaders
and thinkers and statesmen of the
world, and it must have the best train
ed power to speak to them.
The solid paper that it is printed ON
is equal to book pape, in grade. Three
OF the sixteen pages of the Times 20 to
the pound Of printing paper.
The proof reading Is perfection-more
scholarly and faultless than the average
American book.
OF the solidity of the manufacturing
plant this letter has amply spoken.
THE NEWSPAPER OF THE FUTURE.
But while everything is solid and per-
fected on the Times, while every man
on It is trained and tried in his profess
sion, and there is no experimenting in
the business of the establishment, there
is no cessation of mental energies or in
vention, for these men are veterans
standing ready to hold their paper
abreast of the times and to seize first
the vantage ground of any new discov-
cries that might affect the property or
the newspaper. The Times, indeed,
has always been college of invention
and discovery in the newspaper world,
spending large sums of money in reach
ing after new processes and improve
ments in machinery or management.
Among the achieved results of it's
)ahors in this way are the Walter press
and the type-setting machine-two en-
during monuments. Twas rather start
led to find in this connection that
among the problems revolving in the
fecdnd womb of the Times office was
one to which I have for several years
given a good deal OF thought and some
practical labor, viz: the publication
simultaneously of a great daily paper in
a dozen cities. This is certainly the
newspaper of the future, and the future
may be near at hand.
There is no excitement or nervous
hurry in the Times building-nothing
perhaps, that would impress an un.
skilled visitor-but the mental atmo
sphere is very stimulating. In fact,
one feels tired and exhausted that
familiar experience of our centennial
exposition-after inspecting honestly its
plant and working, 80 great are the
achieved results, 80 limitless the range
Of the thousand suggestions which start
themselves in reviewing, in the sympa-
thetic companionship of its own mall
agement, the first newspaper Office of
the world.

AFFECTION.

Grandmother PAGES with stately tread,
Toward and back through the quaint old room
Out Of the frelight, dancing and red,
Into the gathering duck aud gloom.
Toward and hack, in her silken dress
With its falling ruffles of frost like lace;
look Of the deepest tenderness
In the faded lines Of her fine old face.
Warm on her breast, In his red night gown,
Like q scarlet lilly, the baby lies,
While softly the tired lids droop down
over the little sleepy eyes.
Grandmother sings to him sweet and low,
And memories come with the cradle song
Of the days when she sung it long ago,
When her life was young and her heart was
strong.
Grandmothers children have left her now;
The large old house Is Swallowed place;
But shining ont in the sunset glow
OF her life like q star, comes the babys face.
He lies where of old his father lay;
Softly sre Sings him the same sweet strain;
Till the years Intervening are swept away,
And joys Of lfe's morning are hers again.
Grandmother's gray head is bending low
Over the dear little dOwny one;
The steps of her pathway are few to 20:
The baby's journey Is inst begun.
Yet the rosy dawn of his childish love
Bri9htens the evening that else were dim;
And in after years, from the hcme above.
The light of her blessing will rest on him.

KALLOCH

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-Mayor
Kalloch has issued proclamation as
follows | deem it my duty, over
whose welfare | have been called upon
to preside, and to the public at large,
which is being UNANIMOUSLY deceived
by ineendiary Misrepresentation as TO
our situation, to declare in the most
emphatic and public manner, that
there isnot, and never has been, the
slightest reason apprehended for any
disturbance, riotorlawlessnes whatever
from the working class Of San Fran
cisco. Iftrouble comes to us it will
not come from them; the least mex
cusable and outrageous means are
being used by designing men to goad
the N into riotous demonstrations, but
they will fail. They are as they have
proved themselves to be under most
trying provocation law abiding
and pcace-preserving portion of our
population. l vouch to the
world for them that they
will so continue, and further
declare, however, people abroad may
be imposed upon that the people of
this city see through all the trauspar-
ent humbuggeries of military interfer-
ence, The police increase and infam.
matOry circulars will wait their
constitutional day of Judgment to
peaceably but effectively consign their
authors to political infamy and OBJ
livion which the most richly deserve. y

BOLD BURGLARY.
a SEarianna Firm Robbed of
$4,000.

Last Monday night skilliul and
successful burglary was committed in
the town of Mariana, Lee county,
Ark. The safe of johnson, Rogers &
Co. was blowed open and robbed of
$4,000 in currency, $4,000 in Lee
county scrip, and about $1,000 in
state of Arkansas scrip, This be-
longcd to the firm. Other parties had
special deposits in the safe, amount.
iug to probably three thousand doll
lars. All the county scrip is regis
tered, and will therefore not be lost.
The burglars also carried off all notes
and papers indiscriminately. OF
course they will destroy all but the
currency.
Three men were arrested as suspi-
cious characters, but it is evident from
their conduct and appearance that
they are not the real criminals, though
tits possible that they may have been
used by the burglars. We learn from
Mr.. R c. Nicholson, of Dun's com
mercial agency, that this loss will not
affect the standing Of the firm, as it
has a capital of at least $4,000, and
made fully $4,000 clear profits last
year.
The work was no doubt done by
some of the gang Of professional bur
glars who have been operating up and
down the river, between Cairo and
Vicksburg, for several months. These
are the same men, doubt
less, who recently blew open
and robbed safe at Osceola.
That time they only secured a few
hundred dollars. This is the biggest
haul they have made, being at least
$500 in currency, besides the scrip,
some of which they may work of.
The affair created big sensation in
Mariana, and the people have no idea
whence the burglars came or which
way they went.

BY CABLE.

LONDON, March l0.-A Paris dis
patch says 1T was forescen some
time ago that clause seven of Ferry's
education bill would be rejected by
eight to ten votes, and the majority
was swollen to nineteen by debate,
and especially by Ferry's impolitic
speech. The unanimous opinion of
those who do not share Ferry's views,
is that his resignation is inevitable. "

LONDON, March 10.-Wm. L. Fos-

denies that the political opponents Of

united kingdom and intimatcs that
the charge is made in the hope of
diverting attention from the mischiey-
eous foreign policy of the govern.
ment. Shaw, home ruler, in an ad-
dress to his Cork constituency, char
acterizes the letter of Bcaconsfeld as
an electioneeriDg manifesto, placing
false issues before the people aud
tending to excite the worst passions Of
the ignorant. He attributes the fam
ine to the government culpable igno-
rance and neglect. He calls on the
Irish people north and south to answer
the insulting missive of the prime
minister by returning an oyerwhelm,
ing majority TO the settlement of the
great national land question, pledged
to give ampler facilities for the crea
tion of the peasant proprietary wher-
ever possible; to restore, define and
legalize the tenant right in Ulster and
extend it to the whole island.

Attempt at Arson.

A colored woman named Julia Hop
kins will be tried before Esquire
Quigley to-day for attempting to set
fire to Harvey Robinson's residence
on Monroe street, corner DeSoto. On
going out Of his back door yesterday,
he discovered a suspicious looking can
and some rags and paper about the
step, and upon looking further found
that deliberate plan had been laid
to burR the house. The can had been
full of tqrpentine, a quantity of which
had been thrown on the door, in order
thai tha whole might ignite more read
lily. The attompt, however was very
fortunately a failure. Judging from
general evidence, suspicion pointed to
the negro laHndEess, Julia Hopkins,
who was promptly arrested aud lodged
injail. Her case viii create sons

THE SUCCESS Or RAE pOITEYENT.

The arrival Of the jaunty little side
wheel steamer, j. w. Poitevent, from
Bolivar yesterday afternoon was hailed
with pleasure by the large number Of
people who happened to be on the
levee and bluff. She was loaded up
almost to the hurricane roof with
cotton, and had besides, nearly fifteen
hundred sacks Of cotton seed, lot of
sundries and a number of passengers.
We congratulate the owners and
officers Of the boat upon her success,
This gives us what we have not
had in over twenty years before-di-
rect communication with Bolivar and
all intermediate points. After this
we will get all their cotton fer this is
the natural market Of the country
drained by the Hatchie, and we can
give better price for it than any com
peting market. 1t is doubtful whether
one boat can carry all that trade dur
ing the cotton season. Even coming
In SO late thiS winter the Poiteyent
finds all the business she can possibly
attend to between now and the
time the river will 60 down. 1t is
now demonstrated beyond the possi-
bility of a doubt that Hatchie river is
a nayigable stream even without any
cleaning out by the government. A
few thousand dollars properly ex-
pended, however, would open the
river to a larger class of boats, and
greatly increase the trade. After this,
many thousand bales of cotton will
come to Memphis from this source
every season, that have hitherto been
going in. other directions. This will
be considerable item added to our
trade, and a great advantage to the
people living along the river.
