The following letter received here

Rock CRY REAL Estate ASSOCIATION
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May II, 1887.
Col. R. f. LOoney and Col. j. 9. Neely:
At the request of Major Peters ard
in pursuance of my duties as General
Manager of our association, | spent
twelve days in examining the coal
lands in Alabama, belonging to Major
Peters and lying in the counties Of
Walker and Fayette. | do not hesi
tate to say that they surpass in the
quality and quantity of coal, any other
coal lands in America. Six seams,
averaging from three to seven feet are
found on Major Peters land any one
seam of which will furnish from 5000
to 10000 tons of coal per acre, Of a
quality which can not be passed BY
any coal in the United States or
Europe. 1t is hard, lustrous and
breaks more easily in a fame perpen
dicular to them with the flame of. lu-
mination. 1t will bear shipment
around the world; will make as good
coke as the Connellsville coal, and can
be mined at a less cost than any coal
which | have ever seen, because Of
the thickness and horizontally OF the
seams. You need not have any con.
seientious scruples in recommendiL.
these lands as a safe and profitable in-
vestment for your friends. | believe
truly that more fortunes will
be made by investments in
the Alabama coal fields, with 6.
in the next FIVE years than in any
other portion of the United States.
Yours truly,

LONDON, May 18.-Advices from
SOham, Upper Egypt, state that the
eclipse Of the sun was successfully
observed at that place, yesterday, by
English, French aud Italian astron-
omers. A FIRE comet was discovered
close to the sun. It's position was
determined by photography. The
spectroscopic and ocular observations
just before aud during the period OF
totality gave most valuable results.
The darkening outlines observed by
the French Astronomers, indicating
the lunar atmosphere spectrum of
Corona, was successfully photographed
for the first time.
The meeting of the Irish Parlia-
mentary party, to-day, unanimously
condemned the repression bill.
The fear ofbeing arrested in con-

now so general in Ireland that the
peasantry travelling outside Of their
own district, appeal to the police for
passports. Many emigrants leaving

Florist, After a Useful Life,
Passes Quietly Away.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nay 16.-Jas.
Wick, the we'll known florist and
scotsman, is dead, aged 63 years. He
was born at Portsmouth, Eng, and
was playmate of Charles Dickens.
He came to this country in 1893 and
set type with Horace Greeley on the
Knickerbocker. He subsequently
became editor Of the Genesee Farmer
aud Horticulturist, and was for long
time Secretary of the American Pc
mological Society and n ember of the
Royal Horticultural Society. He
went into the seed business in 1860,
and was one of the most charitable Of
men. 1t is reported his gifts averaged
$4,000 yearly. During the Kansas
grasshopper plague he sent $2b,OOO
worth of seeds to the sufferers, and
last year sent $40, 900 or SIS, 900 to the
Michigan sufferers.

Professors JOynes and McBryde,
UniVeFsity of Tennessee.


The Courier j Journal Of the 18th
pays the following high compliment
to two of the prominent members Of
the faculty of the University Of TIN.
nessee at Knoxville:
The University Of Tennessee, at
Knoxville, appears to be in danger of
suffering loss that would seem to be
almost irreparable. On the 10th inst,
as we learn from our Tennessee ex-
changes, DR.. Edward S. Joynes, Pro-
fessor Of English Literature and Mod
ern Languages, and j. Nj. McBryde,
Professor of Agriculture, Horticul-
ture and Botany, in said University,
were, without solicitation on their
part, unanimously chosen to the cor
responding chairs in the University Of
South Carolina, at Columbi2, and, as
stated, at greatly increased salaries.
DR.. Joynes is we'll known to tha coun-
try as a very master in the science of
language, having no superior in the
professional list of American linguis
tic philosophers and instructors.
Than Professor McBryde, no man in
the South ranks higher in the depart
ment of theoretical and experimental
agricultural science. Upon these two
men the rising fame Of the University
Of Tennessee has seemed mainly to
rest, and it would be strange, indeed,
if our neighboring State should per
NIT the greater liberality and srglcity
OF her less favored Southern sister to
capture from her own halls Of learn.
ing the best two professors within her
borders.

Important Railway Project.
Little Rock Gazette

Mention has been made of the pro.
posed railroad on the east bank of the
Mississippi river, to extend from
Memphis to New Orleans. G. P.
Huntington is President, and the cor
poration is designated the Memphis
& New Orleans Levee and Railroad
Company. 1t is proposed to lay the
track on the surface of a levee suffi
cient to protect the bottoms from
overflow. A memorial has been pre-
pared asking government aid in the
work in the following terms:
The company, having a perpetual
charter, propose to put on the first
division of their railroad, extending
from Memphis to Vicksburg a first
mortgage to the amount of $50, 900 per
mile, for which bonds will be issued,
having 100 years to run, and bearing
rate Of interest not exceeding 3 per
cent per annum, payable semi annual
ly. In consideration OF the United
States government paying the interest
on the said bonds for the first five
years, and guaranteeing the payment
of the principal and interest for the
remaining ninety five years, the com
pany will undertake to construct
levee upon which the railroad will be
built, which shall permanently protect
the Yazoo basin from the floods Of the
Mississippi river; said guaranteed
bonds to be delivered by the govern
ment to the company upon the com.
pletion of each section of twenty miles
Of said road, according to the dimen-
sions above set forth.
The estimated distance from New
Orleans to Memphis by the proposed
route is 5l7 miles-295 on the:6rst
division from Memphis to Vicksburg,
and 222 miles from Vicksburg to New
Orleans. The mileage will be divided
as follows: Tennessee Is, Mississippi
373, and Louisiana l29 miles. 1t is
to construct levee five feet
above the highest water mark, fifteen
feet wide on top, with slopes on
the river side of not less than five
horizontal to one perpendicular, and
on the other side three horizontal to
one perpendicular; the slopes to be
sodded with Bermuda. On the river
side breadth of 600 feet will be con.
demned as provided in the charter,
and permitted to remain covered with
trees and thick underground, to serve
as living and perpetual breakwater
to the waves of the Mississippi; and on
the land side, at twenty feet from the
base, deep ditch and cros1 drains
will be cut to carry off sipe water and
keep the inner slopes dry.

THERE are two bills certain to pass
this extraordinary session of the Leg
islature: the 60.3-4-5 and6 bill and
the appropriation bill. The latter
never fails to pass on the day the per
diem expires, except once, and there
was quorum on hand the next day
to put it thrOugh--one days workdOne
for nothing. The joint Democratic
Convention will meet at Nashville on
the 10th Of June, and it will require
more than ordinary prudence and con
servatism to secure harmony and
united action. A bolt or serious
disaffection on either side would
ensure the complete triumph of
the Republican party. Some Dem
ocrats are willing to settle the debt, as
they call it, at this or almost any price.
They have declared that this question
is SO far above party that they are
willing to give the State over
to the Republicans in order to get the
matter settled and out of politics.
This suits the Republicans exactly,
for it gets them into politics and re
tires all Democrats permanently if the
scheme works out as intended.
If the Democrats keep up a division,
it will follow that Hawkins will be re
elected, Republican will succeed
Senator Harris, and when the Legis-
lature meets next January, all the
little places from Treasurer down to
Janitor will be filled by Republicans.
This, in one view, is matter Of no con-
sequence, provided, COED, honest men
are elected, and we do not pretend TO
say that there are not such
to be found in the Republican
party. But a Democrat must be
awfully in earnest when, for the sake
of principle, real, imaginary or pre-
tended, he will help to scuttle and
sink his own ship. Those, if there
are any, who dream that they will be
rewarded for such services by the
Republican party, are mistaken
That party may give brides in ad.
vance for work to be done, but il
never promotes or highly rewards de.
serters who come into its camp. The
low tax Democrats have made no un-
natural alliances. They have made
an honest, square fight, under
their own flag. If the present
so.called settlement works out
for the good of the State,
it will prove that they were mistaken;
ifotherwise, the responsibility will not
rest upon their shoulders. For the
sake Of harmony, for the sake OF a
settlement by Democrats Of debt
made by Democrats, they have offered
the most liberal concessions to the
other wing. We had hoped that the
terms high tax and low tax, as applied
to Democrats, would disappear from
the literature Of State politics, and
still hope SO, lift can be accomplished
with any sort OF consistency and self
respect. It is not at all certain that the
State debt spectersswOuld be laid if all
Democrats we're to acquiesce in this
settlement, for there is only a vague
minority assurance that the bond
holders will stand by their own prOpo-
sition. Those who hold out until next
January may demand readjustment
in their favor. There is nothing to
compel any one to fund under the
pending and inevitable act.

A Healthy Old County Clerk.


On Friday last Mr.. Sam S. Smith,
our County Clerk, signed the com.
promise bonds, $4,000 in amount,
issued to the holders of the Mexican
Gulf railroad claims. There are ninety
handsomely printed bonds, $500 each,
on bank note paper, with coupons
attached. 1t is quite a remarkable
coincidence that the same County
Clerk who signed the papers in his
official capacity, thirty Yeas ago, on
February Z, 1852, which fastened upon
the county an unjust obligation, should
still be living and occupying the po-
sition of County Clerk to sign the
compromise bonds. These bonds will
run for twenty years, and although
quite an old gentleman now, Mr..
Smith is hale and hearty enough to
live to see the day and receive the
bonds when they are liquidated.
