THE programme for the May musical fes-
tIval at Cincinnati is undoubtedly the best
yet presented ard does infinite credit to tn
admittedly great abilities OF Mr.. Theodore
Thomas, the musical director. The scloists
embrace some of the most renowned srtists
of this country and OF Europe, to be sup
ported by grand chorus Of several hundred
voices, and a special one composed OF 100
boys from the public schools of Cincinnati.
The second afternoon concert will be devoted
to the production of selections from Wag-
ner's Neibaiungen Lied. The greatest living
dramatic soprano, Matema, from Vienna,
win appear. Cincinnati has become more
famous Tor her musicsl festivals than Biz
mingham used to be, and, notwithstanding
abe Efforts OF New York and Boston,
threatens to maintain a supremacy in which
from the first there has been evidenced SUI
periOr taste and culture.

despondent, and act and talk as independent
as woOd-sawyers, declsriDg they will make q
cotton crop u the water will get out o. the
way By the middle OF May. Memphis mer-
chants would, think, add to their business
by making advances to such Of the planters
as they may know to be honest and straight
forward in their dealings, as if it be possible
to rsise crop the majority of these people
will be found in market with their usual
quota Of bales next fall.
Planters, generally in the loWlanGs now
overlooked deprecate the Issuance OF ratiOns
by the government TO negroes on plantations
whose owners are able and willing TO carry
their people through this or any similar
stress which may arise. II Is claimed, and
justly, that labor il deIoorslized thereby
the negroes are led to believe there is another
way OF getting a living than by work; it
destroys their indie Pendence, without which
they are worth nothing Leaving pride out
Of the question, it Is money in the planters
pocket TO feed his hands when they are unable,
for a season, to earn their own living His
force is kept intact and ready for service the
very fret moment they can be utilized.
There are few, whites and negroes, farming
in a small way on their own account, who
may need assistance, but nine tenths of the
agricultural labor Of the country Is beiug
looked after and cared for by those for whom
they work. Alarmists have created panic
which is nearly as damaging as the water.

WHY BOILERS EXPLODE.
ID. T. Lawson Successfully Demonstrates
His Theory of Boiler Explosions.

PITTsBURG, March 22-D. T. Lawson sue
cessfully demonstrated his theory of boiler
explosions at Munhall farm, near this city,
to-day. The test was made under the super
vision of General-Supervising-I Inspector Feb
renbatch, and the boiler was exploded with a
steam pressure of 235 pounds. The boiler
used for the experiment was six feet long
and thirty inches in diameter, and had twen-
ty- three inches of water. The valve was
pulled at every twenty-five pounds, and
when 235 pounds pressure was reached the
boiler burst with a loud report, and frag'
ments were scattered in every direction.
Upon examination, it was found to have
been completely demolished, the largest
piece being two feet and a half long and
nine inches in diameter. Captain Fehren-
batch expresses his entire satisfaction with
the experiment, which was a complete dem
onstration that explosions do not occur from
low water, but caused by sudden burst
ing of water into steam, when a vacuum in
the steam department is caused by the open
ing of the valve.

As specimen of the rot which finds cir

lish to-day a special from the Cincinnati

could be more silly than this. The other
Federal offices in this city have been filed

we have yet to learn that that fact has had
any weight with the voters of Shelby county
Mr.. Schultz, albeit he is respectable citizen
and good business man, has no political
weight that we have ever heard Of; indeed
his name was never heard of in connection
with politics until it was coupled with the
postoffice by his indiscreet and absurdly con-
spicuous brother-in-law.

The Peruvian guano investigation did not
pan out yesterday all that was expected in
the way of sensation. Shipherd says that
Robertson, collector Of the port OF New
York, is the only Federal, officer who re-
ceivsd any fees; that certain senator OF
New Hampshire, a great friend OF Blaine
(no doubt Blair, received but returned GER
tain gifts before the meeting Of Congress,
notwithstanding he was employed by him as
an attorney and acted as such in opening
negotiations with the late secretary OF state.
Shipherd also says that neither Hurlbut nor
Fitzpatrick received any brides, although he
said on Monday that the former was easily
accessible and susceptible of purchase. The
whole thing smells fshy. Although Ship
herd may succeed in battling the committee,
enough has leaked out TO convince the public
that the Peruvian guano affair was huge
steal. in the accomplishment of which prom
inent officials Of the United States and mem
bars OF Congress we're concerned, and for the
.r9usumm alton Of which it was only neces-
sary 10 enlist the power Of the Federal gov

SIX well macadamized roads leading from
the Taxing District limits to the farthest
boundaries of the county would do more for
our farmers, especially those engaged in rals-
ing vegetables and fruits for city consump-
ton, than all the railroads put together.
When the legislature meets whatever can be
done by our representatives to further that
end should be given a preference over any
other consideration. In the city we know
the commercial value Of well-paved streets.
The same arguments which induce expendi-
lures in that direction inside its limits will
apply with equal force beyond them. We
must have good county roads, if ever our
farmers are to reap the full reward Of their
Efforts in cultivating the soil.

CHEYENNE, ". T., March 22.-There is a
reign of terror at Laramie City, fifty-six
miles west Of here. Incendiaries have been
al work for four nights past and fires oc-
cur every night, some of them very costly.
There has been no distinction as to the class
of property, railroad buildings, hotels and
dwellinghouses suffering alike. Vigilants
have been patrolling the streets for three
nights and ran in about twenty str rangers, but
the fires would start up on all sides, and the
prisoners were released. The terror is great
because the people do not know what to ex-
pect next, for the reason that they do not
know whom to suspect. There will be
necktie party if the offenders are caught.
