The boasts about the efficiency of
the telegrapbic service do not apply
to Memphis, although the manager is
doing all in his power. Brokers cans
not depend upon quotations. One
broker here sent a message to Cairo
last Thursday night to offer 81 60 for
meal. Saturday morning he received
a dOy message dated the 9th, which
was Friday, saying: 80 20 is best
can do on meal" This struck the
broker as a bonanza, but to be certain
he sent back for a repetition. 1t came
at 4;3O that afternoon, saying that
81 rs was the figure meant. So much
for reliability. Much complaint is
made by others, not at the manager,
for he does all in his power, but at the
company, which disregards the iu-
terests Of the public aud refuses to
make a reasonable concession to the
skilled and intelligent labor necessary
to maintain an efficient standard Of
service.

NEWSPAPER comment outside of
Tennessee was nearly all one way in
regard 10 the result.of the Polk trial.
The Chicago News says:
Tennessee has taken long step in
tho direction OF her fual redemption.
The verdict of the jury in the Polk
case, finding the embezzler guilty
and fixing the penalty of his crime
at twenty years in the penitentiary
and fine of 1866, $40, shows that the
prosecution was in earnest about it
when the State was ralsacked for

NAPLES, July 30.-Prof. Palmiera,
director Of the Meteorological OBJ
serVatory on Mount Vesuvius, states
that the disaster on the Island Of
lschia Saturday night was not due to
an earthquake, but to the subsistence
OF the ground. The scenes here occa-
stoned BY the accident are heartrend-
ing. The hospitals are crowded with
wounded and dead, and houses filed
with the bodies of victims. The bod
les Of several NeapOlitan ladies have
been recovered from the ruins. Five
houses remain standing at Casa
milciola Cries for help can be heard
coming from the ruins. The sappers
are hard at work endeavoring to rescue
persons still alive. Boats from the
Island filed with dead bodies are ar
irving here constantly. Many women
and children are among the victims of
the earthquake in Ischia. Fifty
wooden huts are to be built immedi-
diately for the accommodation of the
survivors. The municipal authorities
of Naples are sending relief to the
island, and are doing all in their power
to alleviate the distress of the people.
Most of the corpSes are SO discolored
by dirt that even after they have been
washed the features are unrecOgniza-
BILE. All the members of the police
force at Casamilciela were killed. A
boat has arrived at Naples containing
the bodies of twenty four infants. A
few persons were taken from the
ruins alive last evening. Eight hun
dred more troops went to the scene of
the disaster last night.
