Effects of the Commission on Railroad BUILD
Memphis Avalanche,


The position of the valanche on
the Tennessee railroad commission
headed by John Savage is well
known. The Avalanche has urged
that il Is suicidal for Tennessee TO
continue the policy OF the statute
under which the present c0mmls-
sion was established, and that the
sooner it is repealed the better Tor
the State. 1t has not objected to,
but advocated an advisory commits
sion COMPOSED of men OF recognize
ed business standing and ca
paeity, and all necessary police reg
ulations. No sensible man can ex-I
pect capitalist to invest in property
where the State proposes, as In the
act referred to, to- take from the fn-
weston all control over his own and
place it in the hands of a political
-scouncil OF three" This fact is for

from Mr., G.. P. Huntington to a
gentleman OF this city who is prom

THE BRITISH NAVY.

Great uncertainty peryades the
public mind as to the real state of
the Navy, That this should be SO
is not surprising. Have we not
ranged on one side Admiral of the
Fleet Sir Thomas Symonds, Admiral
de Horsey, Sir Sydney Dacres,
Captain Bedforn PIN, Lord Henry
Lennox, Mr.. Cavendish Bentinck,
Sir E. j. Reed, and a score of
Naval officers of distinction besides,
who are ever asserting that our Navy
will soon be no match for that of
France; that it is now unequal to
the requirements of the Empire
that our ships, as rule, are unfit
for anything but coast defence. and,
AS whole, utterly incapable of
blockading an enemY's coast, such
as that of France, for example? Sir
Thomas Symonds has repeatedly
stated that our ironclad ships "are
unable to save themselves under the
commonest circumstances !" that
their armament is so defective, with
their old muzzle-loaders, that were
the French armour-clads to meet
ours in the Channel, the issue of the
combat, notwithstanding the assur-
ances of "My Lords" to the con-
trary, would be very doubtful Life.

SATURDAY, JAN. ~, 1884.
A MEXICAN LADY's MAID.

Even "lone, lorn" Mrs. Grum-
mage, like your faithful scribe, must
perforce defer to popular prejudice,
and set up female creado to follow
her about--a piece of household furni-
ture neither useful nor ornamental.
She is the torment of my life, pilfer-
ing my choicest possessions, expert
mentinp with my toilet articles, dis
tributing my raiment among her
friends in occasional bursts of gener-
ositv, and. when not otherwise en-
gagged, sitting cross-legged upon the
floor, suggestively scratching with
both hands among her raven ttesses.
At first, like st. Paul, ] "kic(ed
against the bricks,'' and vowed l
would not submit to such an un-
mitigated nuisance; but came to it
gracefully in time, as you would also,
my most fastidious friends, under
similar circumstances. Aside from
the matter of good taste in conform
ing to the customs of the country
one is living in, and the natural de-
sire to be considered at least ''rc-
spectacle" even by strangers, this
concession of American independence
to the tyranny of the Mexican servant
system is necessary in order to gain
and maintain the entree to the "best
society,"" whose mysteries i am here
on purpose to explore. To have
faint idea of some of the smallest
lions in the way of my mission, you
must understand that for a lady to
be travelling alone under any circum-
stances is an almost objectionable
crime in Mexico. To abide for a
day in a hotel is disgrace which it
is hard to live down, and boarding
houses there are none. Well, one
must eat now and then, in spite of
popular prejudices, and life is too
short to set up housekeeping with
retinue of retainers in every town,
even if my munificent newspaper in
come would allow. 1t is wise old
adage, "Of all evils choose the
least, and there sits my evil on,
the floor, scratching away as usual!
She attends me "'to mill and to
meeting" to the restaurant for my
meals 1 could not go alone without
daily insult), to the cathedral SER
vices. on my visiting and exploring
expeditions, as inevitable as my
shadow and as useless. Perhaps |
do her injustice in saying she is
neither useful nor ornamental. Con-
sidered simply in the latter light, she
is as effectively picturesque as much
of our bric-a-brac, an ugly japanese
jar, for instance, with her eyes that
shine like stars, and skin the colour
of an old shoe. Upon the soles of
her tiny bare feet she wears sandals
of her own making, cut from the leg
of an old boot, laced over and over
with bits of string and around her
shapely ankles. She always wears a
long blue robozo Ga sort of national
shawl), which with one careless toss
she winds around her head and
shoulders with grace which no
American could initiate if she tried
lifetime. AS for usefulness, she
watches for tarantulas and cent?
pedes, and the delight with which she
tortures poisonous toings, tearing off
their legs, sticking pins into them,
and then grinding them into the
ground, is characteristic. Monterey

Ben Buffers Nerve.

Carp, in Cleveland Leader.
 Speaking of duels reminds me that Ben Butler IS descended in part from the old Cilley sock, and was hence related to the Jonathan Cilley who fell Tn the noted Graves-Cilley duel Butler would have made duelist himself had he been born in a state and al a time when the code of honor held good. Bu, bean-eai- ing Massachusetts never fights duels. and Buffers nerve has had ,o be expended Tn other ways. A notable instance of this occurred Tn iS,o. when Ben Butler was a young practitioner at Lowell The Buchanan campaign was in full progress, and great meeting was being held in the larges, hail in the city. Rufus Choa,e. the great lawyer, was addressing the meeting and his eloquence had thrown them into the widest enthusiasm, when a lar was felt and a crash was heard The cry went forth. = The floor Is sink ing" Everybody turned pale, and the audience rose for a stampede, when Ben Butler came to the front of the platform beside Mir. Choate. and calling the au- dience to halt. said there was no danger :: that the architect of,he building was pres en, and that he would go with him and examine the building and report 10 al.ay their fears. This quoted the audience. Butler said the architect made an im- mediate examination of the hall and found the danger very grea.. Butler at once returned and smilingly assured the audience there was no present danger. but as the hall was overcrowded he ad- vised them 10 quietly adjourn to the pub lie Square and there Mir. Choate would finish his speech. The crowd wen, quietly out and the catastrophe was averted. As Butler stepped on the plat form he had whispered 10 MT Choa,e with halt laugh. in order to deceive the audience. This IS what he said. Mir. Choate. l must clear this house or we shall be m hell in five minutes"

Rivals of the Famous siamese Twins.

 Petersburg Md Letter in Baltimore Sun
 The good old county of Chesterfield, famous for its great men, its mineral re- sources and its persimmon crops. has just given life to pair of twin children who. fl they live, will rival the famous Slamese twins. .sThe bodies are united just above the Dps, and the union eN- tends down theaight leg of the one and the lett lex of the other, through the feet to the toes. The double foot. however. has its ten well-developed toes. The children are boys, and were born ten days ago. They are getting along well. and to all human appearances will live and grow. Their aggregate weight IS ten
 pounds. The heads. breasts, forearms and two legs are perfectly formed. The parents of the twins arc respectable mu- la,,o people. who live few miles from this city. and to whom, during their wed- lock, Q children had previously been born.

I" F, male beauty is rare throughout

"and OF that encountered in the port
wine capital the larger share certainly
pertains to the peasantry of the envi-
rons. At the principal theater of the

faces you will have succeeded in dis
covering, and the process may be re-
peated night after night. Ladies still

lighted, long, narrow, winding thorough
fares would appear to be slightly danger
GUS at night time, judging from their
being regularly patroled by hemleted
horse guards with drawn swords, who,
from the slow pace at which they move,
have been irreverently nicknamed tor
