THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
takes a common sense and hopeful
view Of the sanitary situation of the
country in saying:
The panic at Pensacola, following
the report Of yellow fever in that city,
was premature. 1t now appears that
there have been no cases Of genuine
yellow fever in the city. Yellow Jack
has tried very industriously to get a
footing on the main land this year,
but SO far has been successfully driven
of. The arrest of this disease, and
the confinement of cholera to Egypt,
where it iE dying out, will tend to In
crease confidence in the sanitary ar
rangements now in operation to cir.
cumvent the fields in which conta-
giOus and infectious diseases appear.

The Presidential party has been
very fortunate. Each day it has seen
greater sights, caught more fish, killed
more autelOpes and Camped at better
place than on any preceding day. At
last accounts they were Tipping trout
out Of cold water lake into q boiling
guyser, and cooking them without
moving from their tracks. We now
have Colonel Sheridan's testimony
that this can be done. 1t is quite a
surprise to members Of the Cabinet as
well as the fish. 1t is proper to men
ton that Joe Mulhatton is not along,
as he has been rather overworked in
other fields this summer.

VICKsBURG was treated to genu.
inc surprise last Monday night or
ratherlTuesdsy morning. Nv presume
it is there as it was in Memphis when
a lot of landlords and big property
owners stood in a position to scotch
the wheels Of progress and levy a
heavy tribute on every. man Of pluck
and enterprise disposed to branch
out and develop the place.
Vicksburg is about to become a CONT
siderable railroad center in spite Of
herself, but there are property owners
who stand in the way and higgle about
the price they demand for allowing
outsiders 10 come in and make some
thing of the town that they have SO
long failed to improve. One of the
roads that had cause to fear
injunctions and endless trouble
with this class was the Louis
vile, New Orleans and Texas.
Captain A, A. Sharpe, Master Of
Transportation, caught them mapping.
Monday night he mustered big force
and extended his road through the
city from Depot street along Water
and Levee streets to the foot of jack
son street, distance Of a mile and q
half. The track was laid in seven
hours, and at day light locomotive
passed over the new track. The right
Of way had been granted by the city but
there we're still property owners who
objected unless they could be bene.
flied at once. There are such people
in all growing places, who sit and
watch like spiders to catch something
in their net. For more than twenty
years this class prevented the connec-
ton Of railroads here in Memphis,
They held that freight and passengers
must stop at an outside depot and be
hauled through, but the outside world
soon found way to 90 around Mem
phis. A narrow local policy drove off
and kept out millions Of capital and
many thousands of people who might
have located here. The leading rail
way lines centering here were never
connected until two or three years
ago, aud it has happened that since
then three other trunk lines have
come into Memphis, and that within
that brief period the city has improved
more in o solid, permanent way than
in any preceding ten years
All cities aud communities that
amount to anything have to pass
through such stages of existence
Some throw off swaddling clothes and
village ways early; others never throw
them off and become helpless dwarfs
| Memphis has got a start at last; ex-
perionoe comes high, but in this in
stance it is worth something. We
invite the world to come
along and help make Memphis
q city and the invitation has been
generally accepted. If enough do moi

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business IN
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only tuatch case made
under this process. For many years the In
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
to popular prejudice against ''plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss Gold Watch Case was not
cheap gold-,cashed or electro-ptated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the james Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. -.,pE xssk

THIRD DAY
This day was devoted entirely to
racing, and the races were quite hot
ly contested, with apparently, no
great amount of jockeying. The
three minute race was sharp. five
horses contesting. In the two-thir-
ty-eight race, Moscow, Nellie Gray,
and Frank S. had sharp tussle, but
Nellie was little too steady for the
rest. Moscow showed some very
smart trotting, but lost his feet and
got left little behind. Nellie was
owned by o. III. Mossman last year.
The pacing race was really two rae
es, Matte B. and Minnie B. running
one, St. John and Pete the other.
Matte won three heats in five, Min
ME two. In the open to all race
the two Barnet horses, Goldfnder,
said to be an old turfer, and Black
Johnnie, always hard fellow to
conquer, contested against ID. S.
Young's Sorrel Pete. DAN did
the best he could, but old Pete was
"off" that day and got left. 1t is
claimed that Goldfnder is several
seconds better than Johnny, if it is so
ordered. Johnny was the prettiest
and most honest trotter on the
ground.
