after the assassination of his father, Prince
Charles Ferdinand d'Ariois, Duke de Berry.
and in compliment to the legitimist zeal Of
the city Of Bordeaux the title of Duke of
Bordeaux was given him while an infant.
Thai OF Count de Chambord is derived from
the name of the estate, in the department of
Loire-et-Cher, presented to him in 1921 by
legitimists AZ cost OF 100000 francs
During the revolution of 1880 Charles X, bis
grandfather, sand the Duke d'Angouleme,
his uncle, resigned their rights in his favor,
but in vain, the younger or Orleans branch
OF the Bourbon family being preferred for
the exercise of royal power. Since the date

In exile. He lived successively in Scotland,
Austria and Italy till 1s45, when he estab-
lished himself in LoniGn. To 1851 he in

OUR Jackson correspondent makes out a
very plain case against Mr.. Put Darden, the
master granger Of Mississippi, and one that
that gentleman will find it very difficult TO
meet. But he raust meet it iu some way. He
must make answer and explain at least upon
what authority ne made charge that he
knew must, it uncontradicted, bring discredit
upon the highest court of tue State. Itisa
grave offsnse against the dignity of Mis.is-
sipPi to charge that all OF its judicial officers
are under compliment and obligation to the
railroads Of the State. It is almost equiya-
len: to saying they were purchased By the
railroad by pass, or passes. Mr.. Darden
oves il TO himself, as we'll as the people he
proposes TO serve, to make answer 10 the
challenge Of the judges of the Supreme
Court, and il he does not the Legislature,
when it meets, should make the matter the
subject OF legislative investigation. 1t must
not be allowed to pass without thorough
probing.

THE Jews OF Memphis, assisted by many
Of their GENTLE friendS, laid the cornerstone
OF new synagogue, on Sunday last, under
circumsi auces Of unusual eciai. The gather
ing OF people to witness the ceremonies wa,
notwithstanding the heat, very large, and the
interest manifested was uuf Agging until the
close. Elsewhere we give very full report
OF the proceedings on the occasion, including
the always picturesque and impressive Ma
sonic ceremonies. Rabbi Samfeld's address,
delivered with the dignity usual to the
most lesrntd OF our pulpit speaker, is
worthy OF his scholarship. Mr.. Sam6eld,
who is justly held in the highest esteem by
the whole people of Memphis, is liberal in
the best sense of the term. He contends
manfully for absolute liberty of thought,
perfect freedom and personal accountability
and responsibiljts; aud, moderate and
modest in advancing his views, he
has been able in few years 70 i'm

comiug the prejudices of many of them
to what is known as reformed Judaism and
now rejoices in the putting away OF cere-
monials that lad become meaningless, and
OF recopciling all the Jews of Memphis to
the progressive spirit of the age, a spirit
which Hebrew rationalism has done much
10 further and encourage. Mr.. Samfield is
in advance among the thinkers of his time.

among those who are leading mankind

THE London correspondent of the New
York Tribune telegraphs that the defeat of
the deceased wife's sister bill in the House of
Lords, on the third reading, was due partly
to the absence of many supporters, who were
either unable or unwilling to return for The
hnsl struggle, but mainly to the bishops'
votes, which turned the scale, with the re-
suit of raising suddenly and sharply the
question why the bishops are allowed in the
House Of Lords, and whether the country
will be likely long 10 endure seeing the
known wishes Of an immense msiority of its
elected representatives overruled by small
minority of priests, invested with anon alous
Legislative powers. Besides the opposition
OF the bishops, the utmost clerical pressure
from all over the country has been brought
to bear on the peers in general. The bill
will probably be carried next year, but the
irritation caused by the present defeat aug
ments the strength of public feeling in favor
OF the total disestsblishment of Church
which sets itself against the rest of the
country,

The Crop Outlook-A Democratic Con-

Special to the Appeal
JACKSON. July 2.-In an interview with
Maj. Wall, Commissioner of Agriculture, it
was learned that The following would be in

In the corn acreage; prospects are that the
yield will be in excess OF last year; beauii-
ful crop OF cotton, the crop increased two per
cent. The backward spring puts it about
two weeks late. Imperfect stands in portions
OF the State. The plant looks healthy and
is growing rapidly.
The Democracy of Rankin county held a

A Private Letter Trsm Dorsey Relating

Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, July 2.-The following is a
copy OF letter received by A. W. Deshan, of
this city, from Stephen w. Dorsey. Refer
ring to the trial at Washington, he says it
has been contest between simple citizen
and those who for the time being administer
the great power Of 50,OOG 900 of people;
between the small resources OF a COM
parahvsly poor man and the hun
dreds OF millions Of a debauched Treas-
ury; against all the Influences of
power, all the horde Of public officials, all
The vermin that money could buy, the wild
denunciatious of almost the entire press Of
conntry, and against methods 80 abhorrent
to the sense OF decency and justice and right
that If the people OF this country understood
it they would brush from the face of the
earth the instigators of it and those who car
ried it TO the miserable end which il finally
reached.

The telegraph to-day inf rms us that
the cholera epidemic at Damieits is as
sumipg alarming proportions, and all Egypt,
at least the Europeans resident therein, are
greatly alarmed. The dslths on Sunday
numbered l41, very great mortality when
il is remembered that the population OF the
place is only about 2S,000 very few of
whom are Greeks aud Syrians, and fewer
still Europeans. DAmietta, which is sit
mated six miles from the eastern mouth of
the Nile, is struggling collection of very
poorly built houses, relieved by a magnificent
mosque, bszafrs and a marble BATH, with 3
few brick houses IN European style built on
terrace overlooking the river. 1t has a
cotton and other factories, and was at one
time famous for the striped cotton cloth
which took its name, "dlmty," from it.
Much of the cosstipg and foreign trade it
once enjoyed has been monopolized by Alex
andria. A very rigid quarantine has
been established by the English, who are
now ruling Egypt, but the French
papers fear that the scourge will elude their
vigilance and again overrun Europe, making
its entry by way OF MarseilIes, the largest
and most opulent port on the Mediterranean
coast. This we are not inclined TO believe.
We have faith in the English as quaran-
tinists and ssnitarians. As in many other
things essential 10 life and living they are in
the lead of all the nations of the earth on
those questions. Their experience is world
wide and embraces every clims slic and social
condition from Central Africa and bsrbarism
to Westminster and the highest civilization.
In 1879, il will he remembered by readers
of the APPEAL that an outbreak OF cholera
in India was promptly checked by the dis
persAl of the religious fanatics, among whom
il broke out as a result Of their very uusani-
tary conditions OF life and low moral state
induced by yigils and fastisgs. II any ma
tion can deal with cholera the Eoglish can.
They have confronted it for many years in
the Esst, and have of late nnfsilingly sub
dued it.
