Preventing Food Authorizations.

THIS DISTRICT.


THE FRENCH METHODS SUGGESTED FOR IMITATION IN
THIS DISTRICT.
Consul Wilson, OF Nantes, France reports to
the State department that nearly every civilized
nation has taken steps to prevent the adultera-
ton OF food, drink and medicine, and offers some
suggestions as to Judicious steps that might be
taken by our government in this matter. He
speaks particularly OF the French methods OF deal
ing with adulterations and urges us to adopt a
similar system. The bureau Is attached to the
heath ONCE, and consists OF director, and fifty
writes, reports all articles either from their own
observation or from the public supposed to need
analyzation. They made, In 1881. 24,655 visits OF
each one on his own speciality. In making analyses

The inspectors made 1851 analyses In only 357
cases the wine was declared good. In l093 1t was
passable: IN .7O9 bad, but not dangerous. and in
Mr.. Wilson has drafted bill which he thinks
might be tried by the District of Columbia as an
bureau here similar to that in Paris, and with like
powers and franchises. Stringent provisions are
inserted against adulteration, and faithful exc

Condition Ofthe River and sar-
bOr Fund.

OF the total amount appropriate
by Congress in 1882 for the improve
ment of Rivers and Harbors, Genera
Wright, Chief of Engineers, estimate
that about $5, ,225,OOO will remain on
hand at the end of the fiscal year.
OF this amount $950,O0O will remain
to the credit of the Mississippi River
Improvement Fund, Our readers are
Of course aware of the fact that each
harbor and river designated in the
Appropriation bill is credited with
the exact amount assigned to it, and
that work must cease with the ex-
haustion of this specific appropriation,
no matter how badly needed, even
houghimmense unexpended balances
from other stems" are on hand when
the fiscal year expires. We think it
more than probable that a handsome
amount remains to the credit of the
Tombigbee river, and greater or less
balances to the credit of our other
Mississippi streams.

The Star Route Lawyers in u
0uandary.

1t is intimidated that the attorneys
for the various defendants in the Star
Route trial, will propose to submit
the cases of their various clients with
out argument. 1t may not be gener-
ally known to our readers that while
the prisoners are all being tried un-
der the same Indictment for conspir-
cy,etc., they are by no means making
''common cause" in the defense, but
each has his own counsel, and these
lawyers hold almost as many theories
of defense as there are defendants;
and that each is looking mainly TO
saving his own client, even at the
expense Of a verdict of guilty as to
all the rest. During the long and
tedious examination of witnesses they
were united in a desperate attempt
to break down the case of the Gov
ernment; but now that the evidence
is all in, and the prosecution in its
opening six days urgumcnt by Mr..
Kerr has laid bare its plan Of battle
and connected the scattered links of
testimony into one continuous chain,
each defending attorney has been en-
abled to find possible loophole of
escape for his own client if he cuts
him loose from the herd in the dock,
and devotes all of his energy, cunning,
tack and learning to his welfare.
This being the case, it has become
a serious question with counsel for
the defense as to whether it will not
be better to submit their respective
causes to the jury without argument
than to strike out, every man for
himself, on widely diverging lines
where it may be necessary in numer-
Gus instances for "the pot to call the
kettle black"

Our Pine Region.

The march of the axemen through
the vast pineries of the southern
counties of our State will not desolate
them. Science and experience dem
onstrate the wonderful capabilities of
the soil that floors this wilderness,a and
we shall see it occupied by thrifty
farmers and herdsmen as soon as the
lofty pines are removed; and we shall
see men who are now buying it for
its wealth of lumber sell it for four
times as much as they paid,after they
have destroyed the ancient forests.

The Virginia Tobacco Movement.

The activity in the, Tobacco market in
Richmond and Lynchburg, on Tuesday,
the lst of May, when the new law reduc.
ing the tax went into effect, was without
precedent: Orders received since the
adjournment of Congress from oil parts
of the country had been held back, and
on Tuesday Sl65 600 worth of the new
stamps were bought by the Richmond
manufacturers, and $1,000, 900 pounds OF
tobacco, 1000, 900 cigarettes and 900,
900 cigars we're started on special fast
trains to the North, South, East and
West.
Lynchburg took $50 600 worth Of the
new stamps, loading thirty six cars with
over 100000 lbs of tobecco, one firm
shipping l2O,0 pounds. THE is the
greatest movement in the Virginia tobac'
co market that has ever taken place in Il
single day, and it would have been vastly
greater but for the recent strike OF cling
rollers" and cigar makers. Lynchbure
expected to have shipped 1000 ,0OC
pounds.

Work has been resumed on the
Washington Monument, and will be
actively pushed until again halted by
frosts. Enough dressed marble facing
and granite for backing is now on
the ground to raise the structure and
an additional fifty feet, and it is ex-
pected that stone will be delivered
Throughout the season as rapidly as it
can be consumed. After one hun
dred feet more are added to the
height, granite backing will be dis
pensed with, as the marble will be
able to sustain the weight of the ad-
ditional courses.
An idea of the enormity of this
structure may be formed from the
fact that it is forty feet square at the
base, and already towers nearly 35C
feet skyward.

AN idea of the actual wealth of
Mississippi may be formed by out
siders who are deluded by the assess-
ment lists upon which census figures
are based, if they will only refer to
the estimates of losses by the cyclone
that passed through the State on the
22nd of April. For instance in the
little village of Beauregard, with
population Of less than seven hun
dred, the damage IS estimated at
S450,OOO.
