The story told BY the Atlanta eor-
respondent of the New York Herald
fthe immense sum, aggregatinga hun.
bred million dollars, which has been
subscribed north Of the Potomac and in
Europe for the purchase and building
Of railroads at the South and the de-
velOpment of her industries, reads
like a chapter taken froma romance
in which syndicates, more wealthy
than the tabled Monte Cristo of Du-
mas, parcel out between them the
whole territory Of the South, to cover
it with network of railroads, open
its mines, build factories and make its
waste places blossom as the rose. Ii

by the war and the abolition of slavery.
such material blessing should follow
in their train, even though the men
who dispense them expect to reap a
profit from their energy and lavish
expenditure of capital. They have
done all they could do for the West.
and now they are taking in hand the

Using South, facts which have been
fully anticipated in the Southern cor
respondence Of the Sun. With the
expansion Of new enterprises will
come large accessions of population,
and before twenty years have passed
the South, so largely now made up of
agricultural communities, will be
dotted over with furnaces and mills
and factories Of many kinds. In the
benefit to be derived from these en-
terprises the city of Baltimore, through
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
its affiliated lines, now being pushed
forward into the very heart of the
South, will, in spite Of formidable op.
position, obtain that share to which
she is entitled by her closer proximity
to the South, and by the excellent
markets she presents for the sale Of
Southern products.

Whereupon the Courier-J Journal
remarks:
"The flowing water system at New
Orleans will afford a large degree of
protection. but it does not extend to
all parts of the city and to many 10
calities where it is needed. New Or
leans will never be beyond the posi-
bility of an occasional epidemic Of
yellow fever until the ground on
which it stands is made fifteen or
eighteen feet higher than at present.
The process will necessarily be ex-
pensive, but it will pay. There are
large portions Of Chicago where the
grade has been raised twelve or fifteen
feet Great buildings were raised by
hydraulic power without any trouble.
Memphis is differently situated from
New Orleans. Had the system Of
sewers, now adopted, been carried
out generation ago, there would
never have been any yellow fever in
the city. Memphis is easily drained.

DAN PAKTIN.
Wanted 10 Shuttle OF Lies Coil,
hut Didn't.

An effort to climb the golden stair
way and become an angel, was made
by Dan Partin, down on GayOso street
yesterday afternoon, but it proved a
signal failure, for Dan still fingers
among the bottom rounds, and unless
he likes his experiences of last night
better than ordinary mortals would
like it, he will stay with us for a while
longer. Dan was reared in the south
ern part of this city, and is house
and carriage painter, a very good one
too. while his friends pronounce him
a real good fellow, except when
drunk.
One day last week Dan applied to
Harry Rice at his shop, No. 80 Gay
oso street, for work, saying he was ont
of money and needy. He bore the ap-
pearance of having been drinking
freely, but was sober enough to do
good service, and Mr.. Rice, feeling
sympathy, set him to work. He
didn't work but a couple Of days,
however, then wandered off, aud Mr..
Rice saw him no more until yesterday,
when he found him engaged in writing
his will, and learned that he didn't
want to live any longer. Dan an
nounced his positive intention Of
leaving for that undiscovered country
without delay from which no one re
turns. He said he was out Of money
and work, and be showed a bottle Of
laudanum, said he would drink the
last drop, and did in glass Of beer at
the corner Of Main and Gayoso streets.
Stepping out after quafing his beer
aud laudanum, he threw the empty
vial in the gutter. Not satisfied, he
got another bottle Of the same SOM
nolent drug, poured it into a dippel
and took it down raw.
Dan next started for Avery street
near where his wife and child reside
He had just tried to cut Mr.. Bryant
his brother-in.law, with a knife, be.
cause the latter made an effort K
check his mad purpose about the
laudanum, but Bryant escaped IN
harmed, by dexterous movements.
The end Of it was that Dan went
through course ofSprouts last night
which, though stupefed, he'll remem
Der the rest Of his days. Broomsticks
switches and proddiug poles were
used on him freely from dark to day
light. He was cuFed and bumped
about in the toughest imaginable style
and by keeping him on his feet, shak'

ing few beatings between the shakes

John Russell Young told me day

gram, which is about thirteen years
old, was worth $1,000 week profit to
Bennett. One of Jay Gould's brokers
also says that the Tribune has been
completely disconnected from Gould;
that it was detached through a put or
call on the stock at a certain figure
given some time age, when the prop
erty was not apparently going to be
worth as much as now, and Mr.. Reid
has extricated the property at a very
prudent price. The opening of the
new Brooklyn bridge, few rods from
the Tribune Office, makes the real
estate there of enormous value, bring

Colonel Sam. Boyd, of New Orleans,
in a talk with st. Louis Globe DEM
oerat reporter, the other day, gave
the following interesting points on the
sanitary condition Of New Orleans
and Memphis:
II think we shall never have an
other epidemic. A system OF sewer
age was advocated for some time, but,
as the ground is swampy and water
flows in it at a depth of three feet, the
underground system was found i'm
practicable. Now we have trenches
on either side of the streets, through
which water is kept running like a
river at all hours. This water is
numped fresh from the Mississippi,
and L has acted like a charm in clear
inc the streets and preventing poison
GUS and malarial atmospheres. Then
there is Memphis. In that city they
have adopted the underground pip's,
at cost Of $25, 600 and the change in
the condition Of the atmosphere is a
subject of immediate notice to travel
ers, who have visited Memphis in
former days, Why, two years ago |
