THE LOVELY QUEEN DE ITALY.
The Dress, Manner and Appearance of the
Southern Favorite.

Southern Favorite.
This is what an Englishman writes
about Queen Margherita of Italy: "Sgy
what We may about equality, there is
something very satisfactory-to the
feminine mird at least-in good long,
exhaustive, uninterrupted survey of a
queen, and Queen Margherita of Italy is
the most delightful object possible for
our eyes TO contemplate. Her face is so
spontaneously interesting and vivacious
that It might belong to any high-5orn
lady untrammeled by cares of state: her
smile, her bow, her ready words are the
perfection OF royal art, or, perha ps
rather the unlearned perfection OF a royal
nature.
At the recent Bologna festival 1 saw
her every day, and every day I became
more entirely her slave. Her enjoyment
Of the ceremonies in which she took part,
1er brisk attention, quick words and
looks and laughter, were a revelation to
eyes accustomed 10 witness the serious
and mechanical performances of royal
duties IN our sitter northern courts. l
Will not go SO far as TO say that any one
can excel in graceful salutation our own
popular princess; but when one has
watched the animation-T had almost
written the bonhomie-of Queen Mar
gherita, one sees that it Is possible to
bring a new element of enjoyment even
into longwinded court ceremony. To
see the BoloRgpese students swarmipg
round her carriage, and even catching
and kissing her hand in the furore of
their loyalty-to note the round white
daisy9ower in every button hole ard on
every bonnet-gaye on an absurdly ro-
mantle heart beat for a second Or two.
Queen of hearts, rose to ones lips in
stInctively. Her dress Is always beauti.
fui, becoming and suitable, and the con-
junction means a good deal, even in a
queen; it is not overgorgeoUs or too com
plicated, en- error into which Italian taste
sometimes fails. notice that she carried
the same fan-a large plain one of pale
blue silk-on several occasions and with
several dresses. That fan exercised me
considerably; the quick viVacity with
which the queen handled it, the rapid
movements, which played their part in
her conversation, could not fail to fasci-
nate my English eyes. I fancy only an
italian or Spanish lady could give such
graceful commentary to her words with
few turns of the wrist. Unless existing
arrangements are altered by the court
mourning we may expect to see the Italian
royal family in London shortly. The
king is an anxious, grave man, looking
more like so than AZ; the prince of Naples
is plain boy who has an over-educated
air, and looks as if he were constantly
straining every nerve to Justify his ex-
istence as SCION of the house OF Savoy
but the queen! she carries sunshine with
her"

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT MEMPHIS.
1t is Somewhat Gained by the EstablIshin
OF Quarantine.

1t is Somewhat Gained by the EstablIshin
OF Quarantine.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 21.-The excitement
which prevailed here to-day over the in
telligence of an outbreak of the fever at
Jackson, Miss, has calmed in a measure
since the city authorities this afternoon
resolved to stop passenger travel on rail-
roads east OF the Mississippi river.
The pressure was SO great from the
people for non>intercoUrse that
committee Of six from the cotton
ard merchants exchanges who are acting
IN concert with the city authorities voted
unanimously for the adoption of a reso-
luton favoring non-intercOurse, and the
same will be rigidly enforced, commend
ing at noon to morrow. The agents of
ell the roads mentioned will be notified
not to sell tickets for Memphis, as no
trains will be allowed to come nearer
than ten miles and a gordon of armed
pickets will guard the dirt roads leading
into Mem Dhis, and no one will be allow
ed to enter. The shot gun quarantine
prevails along the line of the Illinois
Central railroad all the way from New
Orleans to Fulton, KY, and trains are
not allowed to stop at any of the stations
between Cairo, Ill.,, and Canton, Miss. A
ocular panic seams to have seized the
peopls, especially in the smaller interior
towns, where non-intercourse is
the vatchword, and armed men
are guarding the roads leading
into these places. Lateness of season
and the near approach of cool weather is
favorable for the safety of those places
notsnow Infected, and feeling of security
will prevail provided there is no further
spread OF fever from Jackson, Miss, and
Decatur, Ala. kilograms were sent early
this morning to Decatur, Ala, asking the
situation, but have not been answered.

Sad Condition of our Railway Interest.

Our railway interest is the greatest On
the globe. Il ought to be our chisfest
pride; but how deplorabie its condition.
By reason of our capitalization, unaeces-
sary competition, oppressive legislation,
dishonest fnanciering, and reckless man
sgement. it drafts like an overloaded and
wateriogged ship, helpless, N the trough
of the financial sea. Il is not impossible
indeed, granting continuance of the cir
cumstauces surrounding our railway in
eerest, that the child is now bern who will
see few if any of the roads paying inter
est on their stocks. Does such a sug-
gestion strike the reader as absurd !!
Once upon time foreign syndicate in
vested twenty-five million of dollars ia
what was very properly considered our
best and safest railroad stock, on a guar
antee for certain number of years Of
eight per cent. per anumn. What would
have been thought OF the suggestion chen,
that before very long, the buyers of that
stock would be glad to receive four per
cent. instead of eight, on their invest
ment.

The ParnelI Difficulty.

Judges Hammer, Smith and Day, the
Parliamentary commission appointed to
investigate the charges of the London
Times against Mr.. Parnell and other Irish
Nationalists, held a preliminary meeting
recently and, in opposition TO the wit
ness of its counsel, decided that the
Times must produce all its documents
bearing on the case, but not necessarily
for the inspection of the persons accused.
Counsel for the Times said the evidence
of certain persons in the United States
and of two convicts would be necessary.
Mr.. John Dillon, imprisoned in Irelaad
under the coercion law, will be released
at the proper time, SO as to give evidence,
but must give bonds in $1,000. The
commission then adjourned until Oct. %
