Bunyan, in his RgrIm's Progress, tells Of
an unhappy character that, unable to do
more, sat in his den all day hurting stones
and maledictions at the kings good pilgrims
~ they passed. So sits the Cincinnati Com
meTeidL and 30 il anathemizes and huTls
harmless invectives at that splendid achieve
ment, the Mississippi i%etties. The gibbering
of the Commercial, and the impotent rage
with which, even during the hot summer
weather, it carries on its attacks, provokes a
smile when it is seen how the jetties exist
and prosper, spite of it all, and perform all
that is required or was expected of them.
In The old time large government tugs
mouth of the principal pass, dredging
every week what would never stay dredged,
so that the work had continually, year in
and year ont, TO be done over and over again.
When all was done, still vessels were, at
times, delayed days, and even weeks, before
they could enter the river. The mud Jumps
accumulated, and the efforts Of the dredgers
were often as vain against them as are
those Of the Commercial against the %jetties.
At length Capt. Eads constructed his grea;
work, the water, directed by his willow walls,
secured out a thirty-foot bed where there was !
eight and a half feet before, and the large ses
steamers ascend fully loaded 10 the New Or
leans landing, and that city in conse-
quence is recovering the trade OF which mud
Jumps and the war long robbed her. Work

its languishiDg, prosperity aud wealth

Or the Government Lighthouse Department,
has just inflicted upon it a painful stab, by
announcing that there is just now a good
twenty-seven-foot passage in the pass, a least
iepth Of thirty-one feet the entire length of
he willow-walled %jetties, and that vessels
twenty-seven feet can paas in and

width of $50 feet with a twenty-six foot chsn-

MEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIDAY, JULY %, 1888.


The cholera and lite rapid spread in Egypt,
and expectations Of similar trouble in the
East Indies, is a topic that has strongly
aroused the attention Of all Europe, and a
general feeling Of alarm is spreading. The
tidings Of the death of a British lieutenant
from cholera in Egypt will intensity the e1-
oItement. The attempt to hid the real facts
Of the case that lie persisted in by the Egyp-
tian officials again appears in the news Wed
nesdsy, when the Cairo report is limited 10
twelve hours, during which time the deaths
are stated al 2S4; the London Central NeuSs
Egyptian dispatch gives the number of
deaths for twenty Hour hours at 55S. The
English are reported TO be preparing Dover
and Leith against vessels arriving from in
fected places, and Paris was adopting sani-
tary measures. Egyptisn accounts mention
that when 800 Of the inhabitants Of Bou.
lax were removed from that infected
city no supplies were provided for
them, and they we're dying of famine. AT
Cairo, 80 great was the panic, and the sani-
tary arrangements were in such a chaotic
condition, that the Khedive and his minis-
tiers found it necessary TO go there TO give the
influence OF their presence to enforce the
adoption and administration Of proper meas
ures. The New York Tribune ominously re-
marks: "The records of previous visilations
OF cholera show that Whenever Egypt has
been attacked by the disease England and
the Continent have not escaped. If Europe
suffers this year from the pestilence, its ulti.
mate appearance in the United States may |
be accepted as a foregone conclusion" With |
industrious effort, made in good time, we
may, by waging a persevering war upon
filth, the great introducer of cholera, avert |
the dread visitation. l

A TOUGH
Hanged by q Mob I'm M0ntana-An In
eenaiary Fire.

ST. PAUL, July 26.-A Miles City special
says a party of masked men proceeded to the
county jail, overpowered the jailer, seized a
man named Rigney, whom they took about a
mile out Of town and hanged to the project
ing end of a railroads.&c. over a culvert.
Rigney had been jailed the day before for
disorderly conduct and bore the reputation
of a hard citizen, being accused of robbery
and other crimes. He was a bartender in
the saloon of the Cosmopolitan Theater. Two
hours afterward the theater burst into flames
and was completely destroyed with six other
buildings, among which was q large drug
store. The progress Of the fire was arrested
by The brick building Of the First National
Bank, otherwise the entire block would have
been destroyed. Total loss, $4,000. 1t is
generally thought the FIRE was the work of
an ~incepdiary, in retaliation for the hang
ing OF Rigney.

August. He will be met by the Secretary of
tue Treasury, Secretary of War and Post

officials of the national government. The
Exposition is intended to afford a practical
opportunity to visitors from all parts of the
Union to eKsmine the resources, the Or ssent
Developments and the capacities Of the

planned, and in a manner which will reflect

extensive but conveniently arranged, and the
scheme of exhibits appears to be very we'll

TELEenAms n posroFr,cE

TELEGRAM THE POsFOFFICE
As the APPEAL had anticipated, the de-
moralization of an important public SER
vice is leading the people TO perceive that
the duties required OF the telegraph CON-
panies are such as ought not 10 be intrusted
to corporations, got up with the mere object
OF money-makiDg. The New York Post SAYS:
."One thing IS certain. What the country is
going 10 do about it was stated by Senator
Edmund in the last Congress, Government
postal telegraph service will be the result"
The Boston AdUe, tiSer says the failure of the
telegraph companies to carry the market re-
ports is one that will not be accepted as a
matter of course, and it adds: ON the con
trary, such reports must be transmitted, and
IN an extreme case the government itself
might be intrusted with that service.
which forms the nafursi supplement of the
posiofice work" The Boston Advertiser re-
marks: at may be confidently predicted that
one effect of the strike Of the telegraph OPP
orators will be an increased demand that the
national government should establish a teie-
graph as a branch OF its postofice depart
ment. Public opinion on this subject needs
only to be aroused 10 make such a change a
foregoDe conclusion, particularly if found
that the reform in the Civil Service has the
effect OF removing public employees from an
oversctiye participation in politics, and iu-
surfing the appointment of an efficient body
of men," The Nashville Banner expresses
the following similar CONVICTIONS: "Were tel
egrsphs under the supervision of the Post
office Department., or a separate one of its
OVID, such troubles as the present would new
er result. And further, we should thus Be-
cure q cheaper service for the business
and public interests of the country, and
be confident of a continual decrease in
rates, az has been in postage. Communica-
ton by wire has become OF equal if not su-
perior importaacs as that by mail. An OPP !:
portunity is offered for the-agitation of this
question, aud the papers of the country should
take every advantage of ii. Use The ma
Treasury surplus in buying or erecting
telegraph lines for the people, to be con
trolied and conducted ass public service for
the general good" Tns telegraph business
in this country is already in thu hands Of a
huge and interruptions monopoly, and the
tendency IL 10 Yard further monopoly. What
ever objection there may be to add TO the |
number of the governments employees, it ia
no relief from that difficulty to be grasped |
by the other dificulty-corporate monop oily. |
In England the kilograms are postal matter, |
as such the price of the ordinary tele-
grams has been reduced to twelve cepts-six-
pence. A similar cheapness would exist

A GREAT
of Thousands OF Dollars
Worth of Property Destroyed
al Grand Rapids.

DETROIT, MICH, July 26.-The calamity
threatened at Grand Rapids the past two or
three days took place this morning. An i'm
mense jam of logs extending up Grand river
Tor miles has been lodged against the bridge
OF the Detroit and Grand haven railroad,
near this city. 1t has been hoped that the
bridge might resist the tremendous pressure,
but 1t succumbed this forenooa and went
Town with a crash. The bridge OF the
Grand Rapids, Indiana and Chicago and
West Michigan followed suit. Millions of
feet OF logs have gone down the river with
the dow and are almost certain to continue
down, sweeping everything before them,
going inio Lake Michigan. If this prove
true = large additional number of logs will
be carried out at Grand Haven, as well as the
destruction of all the bridges there. The ul-
innate losses, it is feared, will reach many
hundred thousand dollars. The calamity is
unprecedented.
