$4,000. No amount was stated
for Louisiana, although the amount
of $4,000 was mentioned for the
Tensas levee district.
The work of repairing the levees
is recommended to be commenced
at two points, viz: A short dis
tance above the mouth of the va
zoo on the east bank, and a short
distance above the mouth of Red
river ON the west bank, and to be
carried on continuously upward as
long as the money will last. The
distance upward will, of course,
depend somewhat on the amount
of local aid and the accuracy of
the estimates of the amount of
work to be done.
The commission will not attempt
to raise the grade of the levees
this year, but recognize that to
carry out their plans of river i'm
provement the grades must at
some time be raised. They take
the chances that next year the
flood will not be so great as 1t was
this.
The question was discussed
whether under the law, as it now
reads, levees which are deemed
necessary to carry ont the CON-
missions plans can be built where
no levees now exist. The law now
reads; "To repair gaps in existing
leveesn No satisfactory conclu-
sion was reached on this point,
although the impression prevailed
that such levees could be built.
The commission passed a resolu.
tion inviting the Cowden congress
sional committee to accompany
them down the river from Cairo
on tour Of inspection. The com
mission furnish the boat and allow
the congressional committee to
name the date in November. The
commission have no fear of the
committee if they are reasonable
men, prepared to accept the logic
of facts.
Work will now be pushed for.

of closing all gaps before the time

A Visit to Maud S.

DO you show her to strangers ="
"Oh, yes" he answered good ma
turedly, slots of 'em come in here
and they all want to see her." He
led the way to her stall, which is
about 10 feet square and us dainty
as a lady's boudoir, and there, with
u light HORSEPOWER to keep the
flies OFF her, was the great mare.
She seemed delighted to have com.
pany, and like all other well-bred
creatures, was good.natured and
affable and devoid of airs. Her
coat was softer than satin, and she
has the most earnest and intelli-
gent eye ever seen in an animals
head. She shifted around compla-
Gently and rubbed her slender
nose against me as if we had been
old acquaintances; in three min-
utes we had established intimate
relations. The groom took OF her
cover and turned her around to
show her off to my inexperienced
eyes, when, her hind legs coming
q little too close to me, | made n
bolt for the door of the stall.
"Come back,n said he, laughing,
"she never did an ill.natured thing
in her life. She would no moro
think of kicking or biting you than
you would think of striking her.
She is so kind and well.disposed
you'd think she was human '-and
| suspect that the groom did have
a half belief that she was human.
He was evidently delighted to
have an apprcciative listener, and
was ready enough to talk about
the queen of the turf. Mr.. Van.
derbilt is not driving her at all
now. She is in training for the
fall races, and every morning at 10
o'clock her trainer takes her out
for q spin down the road. Mr.,
Vanderbilt is not half so proud OF
her as the stablemen are, and she
is indeed creature so gentle, so
lovable, and so altogether the
ideal horse, that anything could
love her.

The chances are that America
will have to supply the whole OF
the Egyptian deficiency in cotton,
which might amount to some Co.,.
900 bales, should the present state
of affairs continue. The old stock
of cotton is very light in Great
Britain, while the East India cot
ton cannot come into the English
market before the end of January,
even should the Suez Canal remain
open. When the East India cot
ton does come, 1t requires an ad
mixture of 60 per cent. of Ameri
can cotton to be made available
for the English machinery. Alto
gether, the outlook is very promis
ing for remuncrative prices for the
American cotton crop Of the cur
rent year.

Details oi plot BY negroes 10 kill the white
people sfG sesnty.


Mobile, Aug. 2l.-In Choctaw
county, Alabama, Tuesday, 18th
inst, a bundle of papers disclosing
well organized plot among the
negroes to kill the entire white
population of that county, was
found near one of their rendezvous
by two gentlemen. The matter was
laid before the Solicitor, and on
Wednesday quiet meeting of cit
liens Of Mount Sterling and Butler
was called at Butler to consider
the best mode of suppressing the
intended outbreak and massacre.
After discussion il was agreed that
the ringleaders-Jack Turner, II.
ID. Barney, Jesse Wilson. Peter
Hall, Willis Deman, Aaron Scott
and Range West-to whom had
been assigned the duties of lead
ing squads to Butler, Mount Sterl-
ing, DeSotoville, and other places,
and killing all the whites at each
place should be arrested and lodg.
ed in Jail. Their arrest was effec
ted ON Thursday, 18th, without
disturbance or bloodshed. The
same day mass meeting of citi.
zens of oil classes was called for
Saturday to decide the fate of the
prisoners.
The plot has been in existence
since 1878, and the conspirators
now number 400. They have pow.
der, shot and guns, and they think
themselves sufficiently strong to
accomplish their dendish designs
Sunday night, September 17th
had been appointed as the date
for its consummation. The papers
further showed that this day was
selected because then the white
people would be at camp meet
ing marmed, and could offer nc
resistance.
The meeting called for Saturday
brought together about 200, among
whom were about 100 negroes
who after hearing the papers read
by an almost unanimous vote de
cided that Jack Turner was a tur
bulent and dangerous character
q regular fire brand in the commu
nifty, and that the public safety de
mandcd his immediate death. II,
was accordingly hung at about Ill
p. M, in the presence of the as
scmbled multitude. The GROVE
then dispersed and all signs Of dis
turbMce ceased. Everything wal
quiet Saturday night. The othcl
prisoners are still in Jail to avail
further developments.

The Gold Dust Disaster.


DID CAREI.BSSNESS CAUSE ITl
Memphis, Aug. 16.-John Scott,
a fireman on the Gold Dust from
Vicksburg to this port, quit the
boat here on account of a leaking
boiler, and shipped ON the st.
Francis river packet Macready the
next day. On the latter boat, be-
fore the explosion. he related to
the engineer and mate his expert
ence, and said the Gold Dust's lar.
board boiler was leaking directly
over the furnace and near the boil
er's water-line; also that the chief
engineer tried to stop the leak
with freman's poker, while the
boat was under way, but though
he punched the injured place hea-
vily, no impression was made. He
also said he felt satisfied the boat
would never reach st. Louis, and
gave that as his reason for quit
ting. Scott was before the inspec.
ors here Monday. The Macready's
engineers regard Scott's statement
as credible, and if it is true they
think the sevtrest condemnation
should be the lot of Bowers, the
engineer Of the ill.fated boat. The
Gold Dust had her boilers rinsed
out ut Memphis, and a few dollars
would have paid for repairing 1t,
but finding that it was not to be
repaired Scott felt unsafe, and
quit as before stated.

A Mississippi Shot.

Of the Mississippi duelists Col.
Alexander X. McClung, who serv-
ed with distinction in the Mexican
war, was one of the most danger.
ous, killing his opponent in every
duel. He came of a good Vir.
ginia family, being a nephew of
Chief Justice Marshall, but when
under the influence of liquor was
morose and dictatorial. He moved
to Mississippi in 1884 and had been
in tho State only a few months
when he became involved in a
quarrel with Colonel Allen. The
terms were unusual in affairs of
the code. The two antagonists
were to stand forty PAGES apart,
armed with bowie-knife and pistol,
and were to advance on each other,
firing at discretion. Allen kept
his pistol covering McClung as he
slowly advanced on him. What
was the surprise of the spectators
to see McClung suddenly raise his
pistol, aim and fire at a distance of
over o hundred feet. Allen fell to
the ground, shot through the
mouth and mortally wounded.
McClung's shot on this occasion
is the best on record in q Southern
duel, one hundred feet being a
much longer range than the duel
ing pistol is suited to.
This was only one of Meetings.
many affairs in which his opponent
was killed, one of them being his
own cousin. His last fight was
with q young man by tho name OF
Menifee, brother of Kentucky's
famous congressman of that name
The weapons chosen were Missis'
sippi rifles. The duel was a big
affairin Vicksburg, opposite which
it was fought. Everybody knew
of it. On the day of its occur
renee the motley population of the
little Mississippi town poured out
to witness it, and planters even
from afar off came in their carria
ges to have a sight of a meeting
where it was felt sure blood would
be shed. Sixty yards was the dis
tance chosen, and when the sec
onds went to measure the ground
it was with great difficulty that the
crowd could be kept back SO as to
allow the fight to go on.
The positions were taken and
the rifles were placed in the com.
batants hands.
"Are you readylp
Ready!" both firmly respond
ed.
"Fire, one, two" Here Meni
fees rifle exploded, and the bullet
whistled by the head of McClune
and lodged in a tree that appeared
to be on an exact line with the
body of the latter.
To the surprise Of everybody,
instead of firing his piece McClunf
attempted to break it in half, ant
with a fierce oath hurled it dist
anee of twenty feet away, where
it alighted upon a pile of soft sant
and stuck, muzzle down, seyera
feet in it.

America, being far removed
from the scene of battle, has moth
ing to lose but all to gain from the
conflict now progressing in Egypt.
All of the points, from the neutral.
ity of the Black Sea, to the pos.
session or protection of the Suez
canal, which go to mako up the
Eastern question, while exercising
no influence over the political sta
tus of this country, constitute the
most explosive feature of Europe
an politics, and mp to this time to
diplomacy alone is due the avoid.
ance of a war, upon the brink of
which Europe has been trembling
during the past half century. The
policy of England is two.fold; it is
as much incumbent upon her to
strengthen tho boundary of her
Eastern empire, as it is to secure
the protection Of the Suez canal,
which, while it affords the short
est route to India, also represents
an enormous investment of En-.
glish capital. Such being the case
there can be no end to the present
war until the rebellion melted by
Arab shall have been completely
subdued, and the government re-
stored to the representative of the
Sultan, whoever he may be. In
the meantime Arab Pasha has the
sympathy of the people, who, in a
change of affairs, see some pros
pect of relief from the heavy bur.
den of taxation under which they
have labored for so many years.
Arab will not only strengthen his
army by the enlistment of volun-
teers, but will impress into his
service the fellaheen or peasants,
in which event all agricultural in
terests will be neglected and the
annual supply which Europe has
drawn from Egyptian sources will
be reduced to the minimum. AL
ready in India the prayers of the
faithful for Arabi's success have
been heard in the mosques, and the
attention which will be demanded
from England in order that threat
ened outbreaks in her own domin-
ions may be averted, coupled with
the draft upon her military con-
tingent in India, and the with
drawal of her mercantile tonnage
for transportation of troops and
munitions of war, will diminish the
agricultural produce as well as
lessen the Indian exports. Taking
all of these things into considera-
ton, granting even that ocean
freights are likely to advance un-
der demand, America will be called
upon to feed the United Kingdom,
and in this respect she will derive
material benefit from the war, be
it of long or short duration.-St,

up no caucus was called, no unit
