New YORK, July 25.--There will he
two Biaiucs on the stump. but not I'M
ill autumn. James G. Blaine, Jr., is
spending July at Seabrisht. He said
to Il reporter "Fs,ther will make
several speeches soon after his return
from Europe, probably; but he will
not go into the campaign until Sep
TENDER. We expect that ne will put
in two months of hard work for Har-
.,son aud Morton.''
"What will be his -oratorical
specialty:"
t.Protectiop. Tina, is the issue, you
know, and he will devote himself to
it,"
Being asked il the rumor was true
that he was going to stump. young Mr..
Blaine replied: ayes, 1 expect to
make some speeches-s.s many as our
people deem desirable. The pro-
gramma is not yet made out definitely,
but anticipate that father will speak
in the States of New York, Connecticut
and Indiana; say forty to fifty speeches
in September and October. Can he
stand it? Yes his health is good, no
matter about all he has said to the
contrary. My own appearance upon
the stump will be of compal aiiveIy
small account, Of coulse, and l am
willing to go wherever the campaign
! committee dictates. l shall talk tariff.
| too, and it is hardly necessary for me
to say that my fathers views are
nine.''
Much is to be made of the arrival of
| Blaine. His personal friends will give
to him booming reception and the
! Republican committee has decided to
cooperate. The question was raised
whether great public reception To the
man whom the party did not nominate
would hurt rather than help tho Har-
rison canvass, but Chairman Quay said,
when asked about it: "Oh, hur.ah
for Blaine. He deserves it anu he will
will get it."
There will be an aquatic procession
down the bay with flags flying, bands
playing and cannon booming. Bot no
cannon will be fired within the city
limits ashore. Mayor Hewitt is deter
mine! upon that point. II refused TO
permit the firing Of salu,es for the
nomination of Cleveland, and again
forbade ii for HARRISON" the mayor
said, "and the ordinance against ord,
nance, so to speak, is going TO be en-
forced right through the campaign.
The law against cannonading is good,
and politics shall not nul!;fy it, The
boys may shout but they cant cx.

tee never having met there was no secre-
tary elected-and furthermore that Mfr.

vention who appointed the present District
Executive Committee is also dead-it has
been suggested to me by residents of tho

adopted for calling the committee together
forthe purpose Reorganization and transact
ion of whatever business may come before
it,
That each member of the Executive Com
mittee upon receipt of this letter cores
pond with say the Ouachits Telegraph,

members, giving their names rs requesting
the publication of the call for the meeting
and sending copy of call to each member.
As it has been the custom for the COM
mittee to meet about the middle of august
would suggest the afternoon of the Goth
August as the time and Monroe rs being the
most central point i'll the District as the
place for the meeting. Your immediate

that by virtue OF the extraordinary

THE NEW ORLEANS, NATCnEZ AND
FORT SCOTT RAILROAD.

Gen. John H. Rice, accompanied by
Capt. ]. w. Lambert, proprietor of the
Natchez, Miss, Democrat, and L. D.
Latham, Esq, Of Chicago, are here IN
the interest of the above named rail-
road and it Is now only question of
very short while before something de-
finite will be known as to their plans.
AT present. they are engaged in per-
fecting titles to right OF way end def
nitely settling other preliminary mat
ters preparatory TO beginning active
operations.
Since Gen. Rtce's attention was at
tracted to this section and his subse-
quent conception Of the grand enter.
prise 10 which he is now engaged he
has become we'll known to our people
and Whatever else may have been or
may be said concerning him all have
conceded his wonderful pluck and
energy aud admitted the fact that if
anybody could accomplish the great
work he has set before him Gen. Rice
could.
Capt. Lambert Of Natchez is a visitor
to our city for tue first time, and while
not personally known to our people
is no stranger to us. He is the pros
prietOr of the Natchez Democrat, a
paper that has been representing the
best Interests Of the people of the South
for the past twenty. five years, socially
politically, tndustriaIly and otherwise.
He is at present sheriff of Adams
county aud Is an active participant in
all enterprises for the development OF
his section. He has always been an
enthusiastic believer in Gen. R,ce's
road and if it Is built to him will be-
long great credit for the encourage
ment and aid he has given the enter
prise.
Mr.. Latham, as is now well known
to US, Is a capitalist himself of large
means and is at the head of syndicate
whose headquarters are at Chicago
They are at present completing a con.
tract for building belt railroad en-.
circling Chicago and as soon as that
work is finished they propose to trans.
fer their operations to tue New Orleans,
Natchez and Fort Scott Railroad. The
work at Chicago, we are informed
will be completed in ample time to
enable them to begin on the later by
the first of September, the stipulated
time. There is no sort of doubt about
their ability to do the work, the only
doubt remaining so far as we are con-
cerned, being as to which line of survey
will be finally and permanently adop.
ted. The people of Monroe and Qua
chiia parish should leave nothing un-
done to settle this doubt and settle II
in their favor.

The gentlemen accredited by the King of

the Government of the United States is one
of the most distinguished diplomats of
Greece. He was born at Athens in 1S49,
and educated at the university of that city.
One of his cestors was The famous George
Gennadius Scholarlus, the first Patriarch of
Constantinople after its capture by the Turks
The Minister father, George Gannadius, was
a native OF Epirus. a province still under
Turkish rule. He was a valiant soldier in
the Greek war TO" independence and de-
clined all military hon RS offered for his
services. Additional to his good soldership
he was a man Of great learning, and the
present admirable school system of Greece,
which is free to all from the lowest gra'le q
instruction up TO the highest includi the
University at Athens, is a monument Of hi
untiring energy and noble effo Is in the
cause of education. JOIN Gennadius, the
subject of this sketch, who is, of course,
classical scholar, chose a mer-
camille life after leaving college, and fol
lowed it a few years: but in 1870 he ac-
cepted the Office of Secretary of Lega
ton to Constantiuople. He was appointed
Secretary of Legation to London IN 1874,
where he was Charge d. Affaires during the
RusSo-Turkish war. Subsequently he was
member of the Greek mission to the Ber-
lin Congress, and took part in settling the
Greek frontier dispute. From London Mr..
Gennadius was transferred to Constantine

The Government Growing Rich at the
Expense of uniformed People.
From the Omaha Herald

"Do you know that the government is
now making thou sands of dollars annually
through the undergraduates of many peo-
Die and the ignorance of others" remarked
a post Office employee to Herald reporter
yesterday.
1T may be possible" replied the reporter,
''but tell me how it is DONE"
ut is in this way. Every day we handle
hundreds of letters with &c in stamps on
them. Sometimes there are three 1c.
stamps, but generally &c. and a 1c. stamp.
Now everybody that places &c. worth Of
stamps on a common sized letter deprives
himself and gives to the government more
than is required"
How is that9 Perhaps the letters
stamped in this manner weighed more than
one ounce and le S than two, thus requiring
more than &c. postage"
II see that you are laboring under the
same impression that nearly everyone else
does who places &c. in stamps ON letters.
The law on domestic rates Of postage reads
as follows: Letters and all written matter,
sealed or unsealed or fastened SO that it can
not be easily examined, &c. per ounce or
fraction thereof Now, ! suppose you will
see that the person who places third cent
on letter that was an ounceapd fraction
over wastes 1c. Even If tho letter eighed
an ounce and ninety-nine and one hun
dredths it would he carried for &c. If you
could remain in the post Office day you
would be surprised at the number of letters
that have more postage on them than is re-
ouired, but 1t is fact that the government
is realizing big revenue from thi. little
error made in most cases by uniformed
persons"
81 guess you are right, remarked the re-
porter. as he walked away, wondering how
many cents he had lost in this way since the
new postal rate law went into effect.
