AN impression got out that Major
B. M. Harrod, one Of the Mississippi
River Commission, would be here
yesterday, to gather information for
the use of the Commission. In con-
sequence of the report, Ex-Governor
Alcorn, Congressman Poindexter Dunn
and other prominent citizens Of Missis
sippi and Arkansaw, came here yester
day to have a conference with Major
Harrod, or any one representing the
Commission who might be here. 1t is
presumable that the Commission are
already in possession Of all essential
facts, unless as to the effect of
breaks which occurred since the
labors of the government engineers
ceased few months ago. They have
been at work for over three years and
the Commission will in all probability
be governed by their survey and re-
commendations. The Commission is
authorized to repair and construct
levees and as this is national ques
ton may be expected to treat the riv
er as an entirety rather than deal with
it by sections and in certain To-
calities. 1t happened that Major
Harrod did not come, although thirty
or forty well meaning, intelligent and
prominent citizens were here to meet
him. 1t is understood that he will be
here on the 10Th of September. We
would suggest to our friends down the
river, and all who are interested, that
the Commission is bound to take a
general view Of this great question,
and cannot undertake to rescue this
or that plantation or neigbborhood in
preference to another. The work, to
be effective and permanent, must be
general, consecutive and systematic
A local view may be good enough as
far as it goes, but the field is a large
one and requires consideration from a
high standpoint. The work that
would protect one locality might ruin
another on the opposite side of the
river. The control of the Mississippi
river is a vast undertaking. The
Commission is authorized to make the
attempt to mend its ways. The Com
mission will be held responsible and
cannot possibly take all the gratuitoui
advice that may be had without even
the asking,

Tat,Ooing Among Fashionable
Folks.

New York Cor. Kansas City Times.
This metropolis is addicted to short
lived hobbies. They are born almost
every month, and about the time they
become passably introduced are
displaced and shelved for a later
attraction. The latest fashionable
fallacy | discovered day before yester
day. 1t is tattooing. Some three
years ago it had a brief existence, so
brief that it never amounted to any.
thing. Now it will stay period, as it
appeals direct to the sentimental por-
ton of humanity. The principal
exponent of tattooing, in fact its
second founder,is Martin Hilderbrand,
an ex-sailor, of No. 369 Oak street.
He does a very lucrative business,
and is entertaining the idea of moving
to fashionable up town thorOughfare
about September lst. Mr.. Hilder-
brand patrons are principally ladies.
They have a penchant for designs in
the shape OF birds, flower and notices
on NhIlOuS pUIllOuh VI thtlT CuIlClt'
They pay we'll for suce inscriptions,
and stand the torture like old fash
ioned martyrs. In many instances
the name OF a sweetheart is tattooed
into plump arm or shoulder. Then
should serious lovers quarrel ensue
the artist is delegated to obliterate the
name Of the tickle one by throwing
over its surface garland of flowers or
the design of bird in India ink and
Chinese vermilion. His terms are
from 81 to $50 per design, according to
the work required and thepurses Of
the patrons. Tattooed women are at
present great attractions for museum s
and strolling entertainment combina.
tions. Within the past four months
the artist has turned out three of this
class, and has two more about ready
to take the road and be placed on ex-
hibition. De Courcy, one ofthe chief
attractions of the Barnum circus, and
wko is billed as an attraction from
some out. of the-way part of the world,
was tattooed by Hilderbrand last
winter.

The Appeal seems disturbed be
cause the Marine Hospital Service is
not dispensing funds literally, after
the fashion of the late unlamented
National ("?") Board of Health. DR..
Murray has gone to the front, which
is more than was ever known of an,
one connected with the National ("?')
Board of Health. The yellow fever is
confined to small triangle on the Rio
Grande. State and local authorities
are on the alert. When thereis dan
ger and the Governor of any State
calls for help, it will be given through
the efficient system Of the Marine Hos
pital service. The time has not come
to start the free list and spend money
as recklessly as formerly, and we hope
itnever will.

the old city debt at 335 cents on the
dollar. The total amount collected,
1881 81, is very small, and is due to
the fact that it was thought the Leg
islature would relieve the people Of
the tax, and after the action Of that
body the time was so short the Sheriff
could not enforce its collection. The
fact that the bondhOlders refused to
accept 33t cents is another reason why
a greater amount was not paid.

The Science of Breeding Live Stock.

The signs in every direction of the
country indicate that the spirit of our
people is aroused as to the necessity
of availing of every means to confirm
and increase the resources We have
developed of the means of that nation
al and Individual prosperity which we
now enjoy; and it is not only by the
use of fertilizers to secure the greatest
yields in our grain, tobacco and other
crops, but especially in the much more
pleasant and profitable of our focks
and herbs, to supply the demand for
meat food at our hands for the outside
world, as well as for the rapidly in
creasiag mouths to be fed Of our own
country, as we'll as those from abroad.
TO assist in the encouragement of this
spirit is always pleasure to us and
some suggestions made by a respected
contemporary have bearing upon the
subject, which we commend to the at.
tention of breeders.
A few of the most eminent English
breeders have come to the conclusion
that the following cardinal points in
the art of breeding have been fairly
established; 1, That from the male
parent is mainly derived the external
structure, cenfguration and outward
characteristics-the locomotive pecu-
liarities inclusive. 2. From the fe-
male parents are derived the internal
structure, the vital organs, and in a
much greater proportion than from
the male the constitution, temper and
habits. 3. That the purer the race Of
the parent, the more certainty there is
of transmitting its qualities to the off
spring. Say two animals are mated ;
if one is of purer descent than the
other. he or she will exercise more in
tluence in stamping the character of
the progeny, particularly, if the great
er purity is on the side of the male
4. That apart from certain disturbing
influences or causes, the male, if of
pure race and descended from stock
of uniform color of the offspring. 5.
That the influence of the first male is
not unfrequently protracted beyond
the birth of the offspring of which he
is parent, and his mark is left upon
subsequent progeny. 6. That the
TRANSMISSION of diseases of the vital
organs is more certain if on the side
eff the female, and diseases of the Joints
if on the side Of the male parent.

do so when he first enters upon farm

ticeship, when he finds that to "know
how to do things is absolutely indis-
