THEOHIO RIVER.

A Missouri journal publishes an in.
teresting interview with Hon. S. 7. Gov
ington, of Cincinnati, concerning the
Improvement of the water ways of the
West. In speaking OF the Ohio River,
he SAYS that four millions OF tons are
annually carried upon it.
Manufactures not only upon the
banks Of that river, but on the Missis'
sippi and other navigabie connecting
rivers are in a large measure dependent
upon the success or failure OF transport
ing coal on the Ohio. The coal from
which gas is made il st. Louis and other
cities and towns on the Mississippi
river comes by way of the Ohio river
from Pittsburgh. A very ConsiderabI.
quantity Of the coke, in TACT, all that Is
really valuable, comes IRON the ONO
river to these same cities and towns.
Steamboats, navigating the Lower Mis-
slssippi are dependent upon the ONO
river for fuel, and il Ohio river coal
was not sent 10 New Orleans
ocean steamers could not afford to come
there, because OF their inability to pro-
cure fuel at reasonable cost. At this
time the coal trade of Pittsburgh alone
employs 50 tugs, 1920 sQusre barges
and boats, 80 model barges and 500 flats,
representing a capacity OF 6oO.goO TONS
and a capital of "a ,OOO,OVO. Nor does
Pittsburgh supply all the coal or repre-
sent the entire coal interest on the ONO
and its navigable tributaries. The hills
all along the banks OF the Upper Ohio
are filled with coal, and the banks Of
the Kanawha are lined with as fine quail
ity of coal as is found in any section OF
the country.
There IS a railroad proposed in West
ern Virginia, with a terminus on the
Ohio River. on the line OF which Pro
lessor NJ. F. Msury says there are 1000
square miles Of coal, ten feet thick, that
will yield 1885,, 100000 tons, worth at
the mines 81 per ton; that the iron
along the road is worth like sum, aud
the timber is estimated at SSl9 200, coo.
Here are three items that will seek
transportation az single point on the
Ohio river worth Sl0,000,O0O, 600, and
furnishing employment for carriers for a
century. In the seven States bordering
on the Ohio river and its tributaries arc
nine times the mineralogical force that
enables Great Britain to control the
markets OF the world.
The Ohio river contributes more to
the Internal Revenue OF the Govern
mcnt than any other 1000 miles G;
waterway. On i;s banks are thirteen
collection districts, and last year there
we're collected in these districts twenty
eight and a ha!imillinus OF dolIals, more
than Cne-half OF all that was collected in
the entire Mississippi valley, including
the great Mississippi river and all its
other tributaries, the whole amour. be-
Ing a little less than S50,000,0O0 The
internal revenue collected from the
thirteen Ohio river districts WAS fifty
per cent more than was collected from
the whole territory contiguous to the
entire Atlantic coast.

A Husband Who Laughed

Several men were making purchases
in Seventh street store last week,
says the Washington Cdpitdl, when
man who had been looking out Of a
window for some time turned and said
"Well, that's bad case"
'What is IT." inquired two or three
at once.
"Weil, don't know who is the hus-
band Of this woman out here in the
wagon, but if ! were he I'd go across
the street and smash that fellows
head"
"Why?"
"Why, because he has been working
like beaver for the last half hour to
get up Irritation with her."
AT this one of the men began TO
chuckle. Then the chuckle ran into
laugh, and finally he had to sit down.
whats the matter with you?"
"Why, Pm-I'm tnat woman's hus-
band"
care you? And you are laughing
over Inc Irritation?
CT can't help it." he said, as he
went off into another fit "Just think
Of him flirting and strutting up and
down and doing his prettiest when my
old woman has been stone-blind for
several years. Ha ha ha !"

GREAT CROWDS OF NoURNERs.


WASHINGTON, Sept. .-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that tie casket was closed
last evening, the capitol was again
thronged by thousands. eager to review
the remains of thehte president. The
lines formed soon after daylight, and
extended across the park. The floral
offerings, this noon, were numerous,
and came from public and private gar
dens in this city Several handsome
decorations were received from Phila-
delphia and New York; one came from
about the size of a child five years old,
composed of whit, roses, and holding
a silver trumpet n its hands, is sus-
pended over the cdfin by cords passing
across the rotunda This was the gift
Of Jas. w. WormlF, the colored hotel

for their meagernas and lack of taste.
There has been al economic marked

riages were drawnup to the east lover
entrance of the ssnate wing, and the
occupants alightet and passed up the
private stairway to the vice presidents

and orders were quickly given by ser
geant-at-arms Brigat, of the senate, to
the employees of ihe capitol, as police
of duty, TO keep themselves complete
ly hidden IN the recesses of the doors
and windows while Mrs. Garfield passed
through the rotunja. The rotunda II
self was entirely cleared, the guard Of

GUITEAu so breads the vengeance of The
people that he has become iii, and the Jail
physician has put him on sick diet. Every
time he sees guard, he inquiries If there
- any indication of an attack on his cell
TIE district attorney at Washington
holds that Guiteau need not be taken to
New jersey for trial, while his assistant
has reached a conclusion directly the re-
verse. The assistant solicitor OF the treas
nry declares that the assassin can legally
be tried and executed in the District of
Columbia.
INFORMATION received in regard to the
condition Of Senator b. H. Hill is to the
effect that while the recent and second
operation performed in Philadelphia for
an affection of the tongue was temporarily
relief and satisfactory in its immediate
results, there has since been a change for

THE board of visitors nj West Point
have made Il lengthy report 70 the sec
retary Of war, and among other things
say that the command nj West Point
constitutes il military department Of
which the academy is L part and the
commanding general il superintendent,
Instead ~ being, as contemplated hy
law, iii charge Of colonel If engineers.
With this exception the position and
with LAW. The assistant adjutant gem
rral II tho military department does
not belong u the military academy or
sanimtion and is liz no way essential to
il, and occupies the quarters required
hy the academic officers. \ period of
more than four years experience seems
necessary TO enable the superintendent
10 acquire n perfect knowledge of the
interests of the academy, and no pre-
yious army training is of service in this
branch, which seems to require the ex-
perienee Of 4 graduate of the academy
for its successful administration. 1t is
! source of regret that the assistant
professors II the academy can not he
detached permanently for this service
Without interfering with their hopes of
promotion
The malpractice of "hazing, which
made is appearance few years ago,
has been crushed hy rigil discipline,
but il still fingers 10 some extent and it
will require the utmost vigilance on
the part Of the officers in the imme.
date charge of the cadets, and the most
prompt measures OF punishment, in
order 10 eradicate this vicious and un-
manly practice. The raising of various
funds by charging cadets percentage
on supplies is condemned and = recom-
mendation made that IN future no COM
mission be charged above the aotual
cost Of supplies, The surplus balances
of these various funds and property on
june i, 1881, amounted to little less
than So, 900, all Of which Is the result
Of the percentage system. and to secure
justice 70 the former cadets for the
levying Of this tax the board is Of the
opinion that the money should be de
voted 20 some parpose in which former
cadets may have an interest and their
successors a benefit, and memorial
hall is suggested at West Point, to CON-
memorate the services of such cadets
as may have distinguished themselves
or died in the public service.
