INTERESTING PROJECT OF AN OLD SALT
AND A YOUNG FAEcIER.
Young Fritz Uhlenhaut, of No. 1877
Pearl street, and Capt. Nordenhold,
retired German sea captin, who resides
in Brooklyn, have undertaken the phil
anthropic work of establishing a hon.
ing-pigeon ocean service system. Capt.
Fordenhold is an old salt and when he
sailed over the ocean blue, he usually
took several homing- pigeons on board.
and when ut some distance out at sea
he sent the birds home with messages
to his friends ashore, telling them how
he Jared. Young Uhlenhaut is q
pigeon-faneier and keeps about $50 of
these carrier birds at his house. When
the captain suggested to the Young
man the idea of establishing a homine
pigeon sea service Mr.. Uhelenhaut' Z
father gave his son every encourage
ment, telling him that if he succeeded
in saving the life of even one sailor on
passenger he would feel far greater
satisfaction than if he had won hundred
prizes in pigeon races. The young
man determined TO act upon the cap
tain's and his fathers suggestions, anc
began training his pigeons by send
ing them on steamers going down
south. The captains of the vessels a
frsi let the birds loose few miles from
port. and then the distance was eradu

EDIToRs CLARION: The probability
of needed assistance to farmers in this
section as mentioned in my last letter
causes me to make a suggestion which
might lead, if followed up, to a gen
eral system of relief whenever large
sections are visited by unexpected
calamity, or, indeed, to one that might
be applied to individual cases.
The United States government has q
large surplus of money, we are its citi
zens, and a good government should
make a provision for stimulating and
encouraging the prosperity of its every
citizen. 1t sustains to US the relation
of parent. Congress when it meet:
should pass a bill by which a fund
should be set apart to be lOaned-not
given--tOp parties needingit, taking for Sc
curity mortgages on land, taking The
ASSESSMENT as the basis of value for the
land and not lending more than hall
the value Of the pledge. The rate d
interest shsuld be moderate, say or
per cent.
By this means the government could
greatly aid the people ia getting out Of
debt and increase the general welfare
There wsuld be no trouble in prescribing
the necessary steps TO be taken and
forms to be used to prevent imposition.

earnestness with which he has always
been ready TO do battle for his party

EDIToRs CLARToN-The remains of
Gen. John s. Bowen now lie in the gar
den of the Carnes place, located between
Raymond and Edwards, near Auburn.
While they have been cared for by M.
Ratliff and Mr.. McNemar, it is the de-
sire Of many who fought under him
that they should be removed to some
suitable public place. and a monument
erected. To this end It is suggested that
reunion of the 22d Mississippi Regi-
ment be held at Jackson during the
coming fair, and that a subscription be
raised under the auspices of the Yeter-
ans who composed that body Of men,
looking to the furtherance of the object
in view. It is suggested further. that
all communications bearing upon the
subject be addressed to Hon. $. Gwin
State Auditor, who, the writer feels SURF
will do everything 10 bring about whai
is desired. In addition | suggest tbat
the cause could be aided materially b,

To the Friends of the Natchsa
Protestant Orphan Asylum.


Our first and last appeal to the public
at large issued May l. 1881, met with
such generous response at the hands ei
the public that it has enabled US to sup.
port the orphans since that day to this.
In the interim we have received hand
some donations from the Grand Lodge
OF Masons of Mississippi, the Lodges Of
Natchez as well As FROM other orRsniza-
tons Now, however, our. funds are
very low, and therefore we feel con-
strained to appeal to the generous senti-
ments Of the friends of the orphans.
While we feel that the seasOh Is not far
enough advanced TO make money more
plentiful than 1t Is, yet we cannot over
fCsszkk the fact that our inmates must suf-
fer unless prompt returns be made to
this our appeal. We would therefore
request you 10 take action at as early a
day a. possible, and through your
churches, sunday schools, societies and
lodges, collect such moneys as you NAV
be able to get, and remit same to Mrs.

The sentiment in favor of regulating
and controlling corporations, not with a
view to injure the corporations, but to
protect the people is growing in favor.
The recent decision of Judge Cooley is
regarded as a very clear and just ex-
ponent of the attitude of corporations
to the public. The Republican conven-
tion of the State of New York passed a
resolution in favor of legislative control
of corporations in the interest of the
general welfare. The Chicago Tribune
has the following which is taken from u
longer editorial.
Perhaps nothing has contributed more
to the spread of anti-monopoly senti-
mcnt than the assumed right and avowed
purpose on the part of the corporation
managers to "charge as much as the
business will bear" This phrase so de
family proclaimed from the housetOps
has revealed to the people in every sta
1 ton the logical consequence of conced
ing to the corporations entire indepen-
dencc of all higher control and of all
responsibility to the public. The stereo
typed defense urged by the organs OF
the monOpolists that private capital ha,
the right to manage its own business
has no longer the element of alarm witt
which it formerly appealed to conserva
tive men. Proper regulations of corpor
ate affairs in their relation with the pub
lie does not portend any interference,
with private capital. If thi
theory Of state regulation, which in
wolves the theory Of national regulation
in the case Of interstate commerce. ha,
not received the clear-st popular aD'
suthorative support. the Republican
party OF New York would not hay,
given il the prominent position Il now
occupies in this years platform.
The Railroad Commissioners for NeN
York require Of all roads quarter
ly statements of their business for The
benefit of stockholders and the public
generally. Such publication is an ad
mirable idea and will work as a safe
guard against Observation-Disclosures by ths
commissioners either in favor Of tLS
roads or against them.
A proper regulation of railroads can
not work to the detriment of the cor
porations, for if conducted with view 10
protect the citizen against extortion
must conduce to his financial welfare,
and consequent demand for increased
transportation.

The change was expected Of course,
sooner OF later by the public, the elect
ion of Mr.. Barksdale to the T. : Con-
gress making it imperative tbs CLAR-
ION under its late able management
soon became the leading political organ
o. the Democratic party in the State.
It Is uttelry impossible that mind, 81
active and vigorous as Mr.. Barksdale'
is acknowledged 10 he, coming in weekly
contact with other minds through the
columns. of his journal should not
impress itself deeply on them. And il
did The formation of healthy public
sentiment on many important questions
is due greatly to his able and convincing
articles in THE CLARION. In fact he
has fixed the iadelible stamp Of iIi-
craftsmanship and patriotism on the in
stitutions of the State, and so deepl.
that future generations in Mississippi
will easily recognize them.
Yet the withdrawal of Mr. Bardsdal
may have an important bearing on po
litieal matters in the future. II is har,
to foresee what political riyalries an,
jealousies may do with the party he ha
so wisely and skillfuly guided through
many a dark day of trouble. We ss,
emphatically che because he was tn
helmsman who steered the ship to a SAT,
anchorage when she was badly tossed il

and others have antagonized him witt

If we had not before spoken of the
retirement of Major Barksdale from
The CLARION, it Is not because We have
lost any of our respect for him, or be-
cause our admiration for him as Il great
leader is at all diminished. For thirty
years he has been an acknowledged power
in Mississippi, and to have conducted the
organ of a great and powerful party
during thi,slong period with such splendid
results, shows that he is made of that
'sterner stuff that essentially constitutes
great and brave manhood. Such a
task for 50 long time imposed by the
common consent of his party-Democrats
shows the confidence they reposed in
him as well as the acknowledged success
with which he discharged it. Mai.
Barksdale is emphatically a man Of
mind, quick of apprehension, fertile in
resources, Aggressive in action and in.
flexible in purpose, and if he does not
take a high stand in the coming Con
gress, we will have watched his course
and admi red his talents in vain.
