AmerIean steel ram Not aoed.

The order for 10000 tons Of steel rails for
the United States recently placed in Eng
land, although at price, when duty and cost
Of conveyance are paid, 9S los. per ton above
the current rate for American rail, has its
explanation in the report Of the engineer Of
the Michigan Central railway, showing that
the life OF an American steel rail Is exceed
ingly short. OF 5S6 that he laid down in
July 1884, 21O had been removed by last
February and at the end Of twelve months
SO per cent. had required taking out.

Total, coo
Mr.. Tilford and Mr.. T. A. Marshall,
Jr., secretary of the Vicksburg Fair
Association, have been corresponding
for month past with military COM
panies throughout the south and they
have received friendly assurances in
every instance that if the drill should
be held they might count on a meeting
of the era k companies of the south.
The famous Rush ZJuaves, Of st.
Louis, will probably attend, and their
lightning evolutions are said by good
judges to be worth journey to see.
In the tournament the Knights will
be required to ride in costume and the
victorious knight will crown his Queen
with real diamond souvenir OF the
occasion. A grand ball will be held
the same night and the Knights will
be invited to open the ball in costume
with the ladies whose colors they wear.
If the entertainment is held as Mr..
Tlford proposes, it will be the grandest
affair ever held in Vicksburg, and there
is no reason to suppose there will be
any ifs about it. The citizens of our
city are no less enterpriSing than those
of other cities and there is little doubt
that the 81 900 will be raised in few
hours. Among the directors Gen.
Butts said he would give $3.50, if neces-
sary, to have such All entertainment at
the town. Mr.. WaChenheim said he
would do us much as any of his
competitors, Mr.. d. }, O'Keefe said his
firm would not be found behind in any
thing for the good Of the town.. and
Mr.. D. S. Wright modestly stated that
his firm would do their share.
Mr.. O'Keefe said he bad heard a
merchant of Greenville say he would
give $500 out of his own pocket to
have it there, and Mr.. Marshall stated
that Mr.. Tilford had written him that
Greenville wanted it badly and would
give the 81 900 bonus and put up the
prize money besides, but he thought
that Vicksburg, from its historic asso-
Citations and transportation facilities
offered superior advantages for hold
ing it here.
If the Vicksburg military will make
the proper effort there is no reason
why we should not give the drill and
keep the prizes (6rst prizes are meant)
at home. The Warren Light Artillery
have some splendid material for q
crack section and only need discipline
and steady practice to compare With
any battery in the South.
The Volunteer Southrons and
Vicksburg Rifles showed at Alb
erdeen what they could do
and they will doubtless moi
be far from the front this time. 1t
doesn't matter whether the scarlet
coats or the "old-gold and red" gain
the coveted blue so it is a Vicksburg
company that wins. What do you say
boys to the citizens building you ar
armory if you win?
