WEST TENNEssEE FAKnKRs.

A new and brighter and more buoysnt
spirit is rapidly animating the farmers Of
the South, and we rejoice TO See that those Of
West Tennessee are sharing in the new en-
Iightenment. A call is published, signed by
J. d. Pearson, chairman of County Court;
t. &. Long, secretary of the Fair Association,
and other influential gentlemen, inviting
their broEher farmers of West Tennessee 10
meet in Insss convention at l 80 O'Clock o.
M, July 4th, in the town of jackson. The
object Of the call is to have formed Farm
ers' Association for West Tennessee, similar
to the associations so successfully organiz. d
and operating in Eas; and Middle Tenues-
SEE. This call, we are sure, will meet with
welcome among The farmers 10 the portion of
the Stste around Memphis. There are al.
ready small local associations here and
there, and these will no doubt receive the
proposal for wider organization with salts
faction, and will Join the APPEAL in calling
the earnes! attention Of their brother farmers

pied way 10 which extorIion il carried on at
New Orleans. was shown in the case of the
British steamship City Of Lincoln in March
last. The ve-sel was loaded with cargo of
grain, and, owing either 10 a want of suff-
Gent water in the channel or to the pilot
having got out of the channel, the ship
grounded in South Pass above the titles
and there remained from March lib to
April 18th, when she was got off by lighter
ing the cargo and hauling her away with
towboats. Such is the.srtortion permitted in
New Orleans trade thai The bills for doing
this work amounted to no les. than $4,000,
which the underwriters had to pay. Among
the charges were 800 day for the use of
barges in Tightening the ship by
taking out orion of the cargo;
for towing lighter a few miles
to the jetties, $1,000; for each towbost,
500 hour; for the use of each, however,

the charge was S25. These details are suff-

suit il, according to the latest rumor from
the Alice des Potins, pending between Count
d'Aquils, uncle to King Francis IL of Ma

his son. The plaintiff is the nephew Of the
Emperor of Brazil, and closely allied to Che
Count de Cnambord, the King of the Bel
gIans, Queen Isabella OF Spain, the Emperor
of Austria, and the Prince de Joinviile. He
seeks to obtain an allowance from his father,
who refuses 10 give him any money, although
the estates and private fortune Of the Counts
of Aquila have been recently restored 20 the
head of the family, who paid homage TO
King Humbert, publicly recognizing him a.

RAPID TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads, telegraphs and telephones, re-
cent and much used as they are, are atill not
all the public wants ssH -ss.H faventlons
are tssoTted 10 and still more inventions are
desired. When people can, travel quickly
Without railroads, and communicate rapidly
without talking through telephones or writing
messages Tor the telegraph, they will proba-
bly, be content, but content appears not
likely 10 be reached until the public, when
wanting TO travel and converse by means of
lip or pen, can be put into bomb and red
of so that on reaching the point they are
aimed for, travel and personal communica-
ton csn be combined. But when the neces-
sary bomb is invented the traveller by explo.
sion will want comfortable seat, where be
can smoke his cigar, snd light enough to
read his newspaper in comfort. We have
not reached any such blissiul speed as this
caunon-ball rate of progress yet, but we are
about to communicate through long-bore
instrument nevertheless. Preliminary plans
are under disc ussion fer transporting letters
and parcels between New York and Chicago
in four hours, A four-inch pipe is TO be laid
between the two citiee. Through this pipe
letters, messages, samples of grain or other
articles iewelry, and various other things for
which such mode OF transport will be
found suitable, will be transmitted. The
cost for letters is to be five cents, for parcels
ten cents. By forwarding these at the rate
oil two hundred miles an hour, about four
hours will see them through. The tubes
will be worked alternately east ard west.
Stationary engines at the termini will operate
the tubes. A. Cleveland and at Buffalo
there will be way stations. Il is expected
that 1000, boxes of letters and parcels |
can be transmitted each four hours, or
5000 a day, charging $40 a box, and |
$4,000 dy will pay a good dividend.
Maintenance ard operation will cost about
SLIPS day, and tube, outfit, and construc-
ton $4,000 a mile. Az the apparatus is out
of sight and subject only TO a regular fric-
ton, repairs will be few. 1t lie thought
probable that when the first tube has shown
the public what lubes can do, that one will
be put down exclusively for :he transmission
of grain, blowing $4,000 bushels of wheat a day
10 New York, at five cents a bushel. II the
experiment proves a full success, what limit
is there to it? BY using pipe the size Of
large gas mains a man could be put in
cylinder, with his head on a pillow and
bag Of air for breathing between his legs,
such as are used in diving bells. He could
take cup of coffee and fresh bag of air at
the way stationg. Owing to the difference OF
time be could transact days business in
New York and another one in Memphis be-
fore night came on. When freight and pas.
seugers can thus travel by tube, where will
the railroads be?

of his disappearance negotiated at the bank
