The Boss Corruption Fund.

During the past three days Jay

and their satellites and lieuten-
ants, have been in consultation as
a committee on ways and means,
the ends of whose efforts is the
election Of Folger. Yesterday
they were in session from l to 3p.
m. Those present were Jay Gould,
William II. Vanderbilt, r. M. Nc
Curdy, George B. Hide, Chauncey
NJ. Depew, DR.. Galloway, and 9th
ers of greater or less Importance
in this matter. The place of meet
ing was the office of the Equitable
Life Insurance Company. This of
fee is the great corrupting centre
of the State. Here the desperate
measures inimical to the interests
of the people have been projected.
Here the defeat of measures in the
interests of the people have been
agreed upon. Here the funds have
been raised to corrupt the Leglsla-
lures of past years. Here the foes
of the public good, the corruption
lists, have decided Oh the means
which, when carried out, have de-
bauched the Bench and the Legs
ture. These men, controlling the
great corporations of the State,
having in the aggregate not less
than $4,000 employees, have deter
mined to exercise the extreme Of
their power. They intend that
each employe shall become po.
litical agent in the interest of Fol.
ger. These men, in solemn con.
clave, declared that the Folger
campaign should not want for
money. They pledged themselves
to furnish from s1,OOO,OOO to S.,
100000, If that were required, but
more if necessary.

River Improvements.

"Wat,u The Cairo eorrespon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, c
says: The work is getting along
finely at Plum Point now and the
famous patent graders will be set
to work this week, for the first
time since they were built. In
about a month from now if the
river continues low,the plans adop-
ted by the Commission for the inn
prOvement of the river will begin
to develop, SO that one can see
what they mean. Their plan is to
hold the channel and cut deeper
instead of wider to accommodate
a greater amount of water. The
river is series of bends and cross
ings. If it was cut in two in any
bend the lines formed at the bot
tom would present the shape of a
triangle, one side being perpendie-
ular, the other side running off at
a long angle. The water is very
deep on. the perpendicular side,
while on the other it tapers off to
nothing on the face of the bar.
The plan of the Commission is to
change the shape of the bottom, or
bed of the river, so that it will be
oval instead of "Vn shaped. To
do this they place these "graders"
at the bluff bank in the bend, and
by throwing a large volume of
water out upon it, wash it down
rounding. Then mattresses are
laid along at the bottom, and from
them covering of stone, or strip
rap "is placed on the sloping bank,
and it is made permanent, the river
being unable to wash in perpendic-
ular again. Then on the face of
the bar opposite where this work
has been done, line of piling is
driven and mattresses laid, so that
when the river, curbed by the "trip
rap" desires to spread, it will find
resistance and will be forced to
deepen itself and thus complete
the work of forming an oval bed,
a shape whichit is supposedit will
always retain thereafter. Capt.
Knight, who has charge of tile i'm
provement of the river for ninety
miles below here, has decided to
make CAIRO his headquarters.

out through any convenient aper-
ture, no chimney or smOke-staek
for the purpose of creating a
draught being either necessary or
desirable. The result viii be that
the largest furnaces will have no
chimneys and smoke-stacks will
disappear from steamers and loco
motives, and manufacturing towns
and cities viii be relieved from the
smoke nuisance and railway tray
elers from the annoyance of smoke
and cinders. Think of Pittsburg
and Cincinnati free from smoke,
and one can understand at once
what the new invention means for
great manufacturing centers. Of
course manufacturers will not
adopt the new system for the sake
of putting an end to the discom-
fort their smoke now infiicts on
the public; but it viii save them
fifty per cent. of the fuel they now
use, and for that reason they will
jump at the opportunity for their
own sakes, and the public will
reap its share of the advantage.
This saving in fuel will not only
prove of enormous value in eur
failing cost, but in the case of
ocean steamers will greatly in
crease their freightage capacity by
reducing the amount of coal they
must carry one-half. incidentally
there is another advantage arising
from the invention. This is the
production of large volume OF
pure heated air, which it is pro-
posed to carry from locomotives
to cars for heating purposes, and
from the boilers in manufactures
to heat the buildings. In a few
years this great invention will be
generally adopted, much to the
health and comfort of the people,

No More Smoke.
Memphis Appeal


The New York Herald on Thurs
day published an elaborate descrip-
ton with diagrams, of Mr.. E. j.
Mallett, Jr.'s invention for secur-
ing the complete combustion of
fuel so as to assure the greatest
economy and avoid any use of
chimneys or smoke-stacks. The
process has been perfected and is
shortly to be put on trial in the
Equitable Buildings, New York,
and on the Erie railroad, for which
a smokeless engine is being man
ufactured. Mr.. Mallett, in the
course of many years of observa-
ton, had noticed that q regulated
supply of air in an argand lamp
gave perfect combustion without
producing any smoke, and he set
about inventing a furnace which
will accomplish the same thing on
a large scale. He by slow burning
turns the fuel into inflammable gas,
which is burned under conditions
which secure tife automatic regu'

Cuiteau's Bouquet-It Was Poisoned.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Prof. Til
den submitted to District Attor-
ney Corkhill the report of the
chemical examination just conclu-
ded of the poisoned boquet given
Guiteau by his sister, Mrs. SEQ
vile, the day before the execution.
The report says the large bud of a
half opened flower contained over
five grains of white arsenic, not
only sufficient to cause death had
1t been swallowed, but SO largely
in excess of a fatal dose that the
intent of the person who prepared
the flowers would have been de-
feated by emetics. The original
amount of arsenic was greater
than found, as the petals failed to
retain in a dry state some which
adhered when moist. Corkhill
says he is trying to discover who
poisoned the flowers and if found
they will be held to anewer.

the reign of Queen Elizabeth have
rendered it grander and more con-

Many able pens have written vol

Nearly all, either by political, re-

viewed her character, political acts

and wrongfully. Some have pa
raded her as an unfeeling tyrant,

The striking feature is that of
the twelve States where drinking
saloons are least numerous, every
one is q. Southern State, except
Vermont. We do not Maine and
Kansas to be properly in the list,
as drinking saloons are prohibited
in those States. The last State on
the list, the State in which the
number of saloons is least, is South
Carolina! This is encouraging ev-
idence of the temperance move
ment, and will stimulate the tenn
perance organizations to continue
their pleading and explaining.
The Columbus Times, in printing
the list, says: "From the 25th
State down is q list of Southern
States with only three States of
other sections amongst them, and
South Carolina, the State that the
political fanatics of the North
paint as black as Stygian darkness,
we find at the bottom of the list.
All honor to South Carolina for
her stand in the list; all honor to
the Southern States for their po-
sitions on the roll. Let not the
fanatics of the North charge us

prove their own States. Let them
cast the beam from their own eyes

lt was on a saturday night IN
1859, while Dan Emmett was a
member of Bryant's Minstrels,
then located in Mechanics Hall,
New York, that Dan Bryant came
to Emmett and said: "Dan, can't
you get us up walk-round,'
something new and lively, for next
Monday night" AT that date all
minstrel shows used to wind up
with q walk-round,' the demand
for new ones being constant, and
Emmett the composer of all used
by Bryant's band. Dan went to
work, but he had done so much in
that line that nothing which salts
fed him presented itself at first.
He at length hit on tho two first
bars, and any good composer can
tell how good start that is in the
manufacture Of tune. BY Sun
day afternoon he had the words
commencing "I wish | was in
Dixie.r This colloquial expression
was not as most people imagine, q
Southern phrase, but first appear
ed among the circus people of the
North. Dan had travelled with
many circuses when the South was
considered by showmen all routes
below Mason's and Dixon's line.
In the early Fall, when nipping
trosts would Overtake the tented
wanderers, the boys would think
of the genial warmth of the Soc
tion they were heading for, and
the common expression would be :
swell, / wish / was in Dixie.D
This gave the catch-line, and the
balance of the song was original.
On Monday morning it was re-
hearsed and highly commended,
and at night o crowded house
caught the refrain, and half OF
them went home singing "Dixie.'
The song soon became the rage,
and w. w. Newcomb, Bpckley's
Minstrels and others gave Dan s.
each for the privilege of using it.
A Mr.. Werlein, music publisher Of
New Orleans, wrote to Emmet to
secure the copyright, but without
waiting for a reply published il
with other words by Mr.. Peters
Pond, of New York, secured il
from Emmett for 5000, but Werleir
sold thousands of his edition with
out giving its composer q nickel
Not only was he robbed of the
profits, but the authorship was dis
puted, viii. s. Hayes, of Louis
vile, claiming it as his own. Pond
brought the matter before a music
publishers convention of New
York, and settled the question o
authorship, but Dan reaped ne
benefit from this tardy justice
Dan also got into trouble abou
his song during the war. 1t wal
considered a "rebeln song, and |
sapient Maine editor EDITORIAL,
declared Dan secesh," and tina
he should be treated as one, altho

of the rebellion, nor, as original.
written, was there line whicl
could be charged with any politi
cal bearing. The browning popu
