EDITOR LEDGER:-A short time
since, when the food of 1888 came
down upon US in all its fury, the press
Of the whole country teemed with
dreary predictions about the irrepar-
able damage the government works
sustained at this place. Even some OF
the warmest advocates were heard to
predict failure, and that one would
have to look upon the coast of Corn
wall to behold a greater wreck" But
the grave prognoses Of the wise docs
tors proved to be untrue. Certain
Eastern papers, in whom the habit
has become Fixed, in denouucing every
attempt at improving the Mississippi
river, will find it hard to reconcile
themselves to he fact that the work
so far accomplished at this point has
proved success. The works SO far
have sustained loss OF seven or eiIht
thousand dollars-a loss, the EsAtern
lobbyists will say, large enoaeh to
bankrupt the best government in the
world. 1t has been found by many
that great difficulty would be encoun-
tered in the selection of men
equal to the demands and
exlgencies OF the poaition.

AMUSEMENTs


The second appearance of Ford's
comic opera company at Leubrie's
Theater last night, was greeted by a
delighted audience. The subject was
an opera by Bucalossi, new in Mem
phis, entitled Les Manteaux Noirs.
which interpreted means THE Black
CloEks," so called from the fact that
the three princelylgallants Of the play
wear robes of that somber hue.
The play, however, is anything but
gloomy. A ripple Of harmony which
flows through it breaks out now and
again in sparkling cascade Of rich
and bri liant melody. About most Of
the solos there is nothing remarkable,
though there are one or two notable
exceptions. The music must be
spoken of as whole, in order to do
Justice to its really high merit.
At least two Of the duets are far above
the average and the chorus, upon
whom devolves no small part Of the
work Of making the opera delightful,
did its part with excellent precision.
The libretto is readable. which is
saying a good deal, as librettoS 60.
The plot possesses the requisite
amount of fascination, and though
not entirely free from the absurdities
which seem necessary to production
of the kind. contains many striking
and exceedingly natural situations
such as one might expect to find in a
circle so prOAigate as many Spanish
court is.known to have been, and as
Don Philippe and his courtiers are
represented to be. Miss Marie
Bockel was received with the usual
favor. Her voice is melodious and
very sweet, and her action is grace
itself. Philip BransOn, as Don Louis
de RosamOute, pleased most with a
duet, " The Nightingale and the
Robin" with Miss Bockel, a
portion Of which they were obliged
to repeat to satisfy the audience. The
interest, so far as the play was con,
cerned, centered in the Miller Dromez,
whose part was taken by Sam'l Reed.
His appearance was the signal for
laughter. He is a comedian of no
mean order, though as a vocalist he is
rather tame. Miss Genevieve Rey.

A brilliant Affair,

The hop Of the Chickasaw Guards,
at their armory last night, was most
brilliant and enjoyable event. The
gallant Chicks never looked hand
somer or showed of to better advan-
tage. There was . large attendance
Of invited guests, and many Of the
ladies were in full ballroom dress.
There were gathered much Of the
beauty, proud young mapheud, COur-
tesy and gallantFy, wisdom and wit Of
the city. A fairer assemblage has
rarely been seen in this city. Dress
parade occurred at nine o'clock.
Dancing began soon after, and was
continued until twelve o'clock. This
was followed By an elegant supper,
which was not over until near two
o'clock. The guests Of the occasion
left at late hour, feeling that they
we're indebted to the Chickasaw
Guards for most delightful and long
to be remembered evening.

Dosing a Mule with ouinine.

LAcKAwAxEN, Pa, July "A boat a few
days ago passed through this village, on the
Delaware & Hudson canal, drawn by two
mules, each four years old one of which is
afflicted with malaria. The captain of the
boat said that the animal has regular chlls
and fever, and exhibits ali the symptoms dis
played by human beings afflicted with the
same disease. The mule has been nearly
cured by diet o: quinine. He was at first
opposed TO taking the bitter drug in his oats
and consented to swallow it only after
voluntary fast OF five days when
the pangs of hunger conquered the objec
tions of his sensitive palate. He seems to
understand the purpose of the drug, for
whenever he feels the chills coming on he
now eats, without winking the oats covered
with the pungent powder. He has been re-
duced to a mere skeleton, but since taking
several doses of quinine he Is regaining
flesh and strength. When he had the shakes
he seemed dazed by his condition, and turned
tail to the warm wind, as though storm
were peiting him. The fever surprised him
equally, and it was with difficulty that he
could be kept from plunging into the cool
water of the canal when the glow was at its
height.

ENGLISH LAND-GRABBING.
Not Quite Ready to Proceed with the Annex
alton of New Guinea.


alton of New Guinea.
LONDON, July AIN the House of Lords,
this afternoon, Lord Derby, colonial
secretary, said the government was not ready
10 annex New Guinea, owing to the enorm-
Gus extent of territory of an unknown char
acter in the interior, and the certainty that
the natives would object to annexation.
Mr.. Gladstone made a similar statement in
the Commons.
He said a dispatch will shortly be for
warded to Queensland stating the views of
her Majesty's government. The annexation
of New Guinea is clearly null legally, and
not warranted by policy. We are not pre-
pared to confirm the action of the Queens
land government. We think the particular
colony OF Queensland is not well suited for
the function which it han undertaken to per-
form, and the home government alone will
assume the responsibility of such step
should it be necessary, There is no reason
for the belief that other powers wish to an
mex New Guinea. The dispatch will refer to
our intention TO strengthen the hands of the
high commissioner in regard to the policy of
neighboring seas.

When the Russian Nihilist Hartmann's
extradition was refused by France, the Car,
Alexander II, became very much incensed
and ordered NJ. de Giers to forward an angry
protest to the French government. General
Gortchakoff, then very old and i'll, caused
himself to be carried to the Winter Palace,
and after a long and stormy interview with
the Gar, succeeded in correcting the arrogant
tone of the imperial note. NJ. de Jomini
was intrusted with the getting up of new
one, but the German ambassador managed to
impress on the Cars mind the notion that
it was too conciliatory in terms. So Alexan-
der ii wrote on the margin, with his own
hand, some observations destructive of all

No Danger of immediate Death.

LONDON, July 2.-The latest dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Frohsdorff
says the doctors think there is no immediate
danger of the death of the Count. A
special from Paris states that the
Count de Paris started for Frohsdorff,
to which place, yesterday. the Orleanist
council decided he should go, with the Due
de Nemours and other paticipators in the
celebrated fusion visit of 1878. 1t is believed
the government has decided to expel from
France every member of the Orleans family,
if the Count de Paris makes any political
demonstrations
