--Messrs. Ralston & Brszee, of Memphis, J
local steamboat inspectors, are in the city
stopping at The Halliday. They are here
In pursuit Of their official duties. Five
boats are to have their boilers tested here,
the Oakland, Port Esds, Belle Of Memphis,
Future City and the Ella Kimbrough. The
Ella Kimbrough and Future City had
theirs tested yesterday; those Of the others
will be tested to-day, and tomorrow the
inspectors will leave for Columbus, KY, to
test the boilers of the Iron Mountain trans
fer steamer, St. Louis, there. The inspec
tors also yesterday issued new frst.en-
gineer's license to Mr.. James johnson.
Anna Farmer: early cabbages will
pay we'll this year. All the plants around
Mobile we're killed fat. Millions of
plants, we'll advanced in size, were killed,
aud the Mobile gardeners are now no tmuch
better of than We are, as to the vegetable
business. Sow some seed now, and keep
sowing, and the cabbage may pan out
pretty we'll after all.-It is such severely
cold weather as that Of January 9Th which
destroys the apple trees Of Northern Ili-
nois and Of Iowa. Whole orchards, of
lsfge trees, are killed, root aud branch, by
a Temperature Of 25 to 80 degrees below
zero. 1t will not be surprising, therefore,
if many OF our large trees are found split
and dead on the approach Of warm
weather"
Some interest will be felt by people
here in movement that is being made in
Quincy TO have all the slaughter houses Of
the city removed beyond the corporation
limits, the reason given being that the sani-
tary interests of the city require the re-
uovsl. But they will be more interested
in tho assertion of writer in the Quincy
Herald, who denies that slaughter house
fumes arc injurious to health, and says
that in an experience Of twenty-five or
thirty yesrs in the business, he has never
known q single case of sickness that had
its origin 10 any way from any portion of
the business, either killing, cutting, render
ing or stesming, but, on the contrary, the
odor which is emitted from the animals is
both soothing and healing to the lungs of
ALL and the men that mingle most in it and
inhsle most of the odor, become healthy
and strong.
The situation between the manage
ment and the employees of the Texas & St.
Louis railroad remains unchanged. St.
Louis papers, which seek to sugar-coat the
officials Of. the road, in consideration Of the
efforts of said officials to cater to 81. Louis
ct the expense Of other communities, nota-
bly, Cairo, assure their readers that all will
be well-all claims will soon be settled ty
the perfection Of arrangements now pend
ing. Their assurances are not reliable, be
cause they come from interested sources
Ys, it may be that some kind Of compro
mise will be effected between the warning
interests, that may give things turn more
favorsble to the smaller creditors here and
elsewhere. Yesterday it was reported that
q number of the train men had quit work,
and that the engineers and frcmsn were
oil prepared to quit, and were only waiting
for the developments of the next day oil
two.
| Mt. Carmel Register: POSTMASTER
Murphy, of Cairo, is endesvorng to placate
the irate coons of his city, and to do this
Judge ]. J. Bird has been appointed q
letter-carrier In Q portion Of the city where
there are no mail boxes, nor any letters to
collect. The appointment is simply to pro-
vide . salary for adisgruntlsd coon, whose
qualifications better fit him for a white
washer than a postofice clerk. Bill Scott
is As yet unprovided for, and there will be
war in Africa until William handles rea
sonable portion OF Uncle Sans wealth.
The Register errs in at least two assertions
made in the foregoing paragraph, that we
know of: Judge Birds qualifications and
the duties he is expected to perform in the
position to which Postmaster Murphy has
appointed him. Judge Bird has the repu
tation among all here OF being an in,elli
gent gentleman, and he will have charge o.
mail delivery in the whole city-he will b.
required to collect the mai! several time.
daily from all the boxes in the city, and
give what aid he can in the postofice, be
sides. We are perhaps not as capable o.
Judging what motive Postmaster Murphy
had in appointing Judge Bird, as our friend
Havill, Of the Register, is; and in view o.
the fact that the mail delivery here is Z
great public convenience, not to say ne
cessity, and Judge Bird quite competent te
handel it, We don't care much what motive
may have ac,uatsd Capt. Murphy in max
ing the appointment.
