The London Spectato points out that the need of siege coinage is a regular feature of the blockades of isolated towns to-day as it was of all sieges three centuries ago. In Khartoum after six months of siege Gordon had in De- tober about $15,000 in cash, which he supplemented by $200,000 in paper. In the second week in November he had about $4,000 in cash and $210,C00 in pa per, and had negotiated $T0,000 in paper in the town. T call this state of finance not bad, after eight months of blockade" he wrote in his diary. The Spectator asks whether this paper was ever redeemed, or were the lenders of the cash murdered when Khartoum vas sacked.

Like Napoleon, says a writer In the London Mail, Osman Pasha was always distinguished by the plainness of his uniform. He had a queer habit of al- ways, even in battle, carrying a pencil behind his ear, butt-end foremost He was taeiturn, grave, abrupt, and dis dainful of forms of etiquette He hated all foreigners, especially Germans, Russians, and English As for war cor respondents, he entertained the utmost detestation for them, whence the deeds of his army were never chronicled as they should have been. He had a strange method of dealing with cow ards; he would send for them and pub- licly box their ears.

Seriously III at the Touro Infrmary in
 New Orleans

A private telegram was received yester- day announcing the serious illness from appendicitis of Morton Kirk Moore, of this city, at the Touro infirmary at New Or leans. The information contained in the telegram was to the effect that an opera ton was necessary, and inquiry was made concerning MT. Moore's relatives, leaving the inference that his condition was sucn that he could not himself furnish the in- formation.
 Ills relatives in Charleston, S. C., were at once notified, and some of them will probably hasten to his bedside.
 MT. Moore Is general sales agent for the Decatur Car Wheel and Manufacturing company, and has many friends in Bir- mingham who win be pained to learn of his condition.

 'I am well aware of the great sanitary importance of such @ system, but l recog- nize the fact that this would be of great benefit to Birmingham and the other cities. but terrible aff1iction to Bessemer. There Is no plan that comes within range of this proposition on the part of the city engineer that could possibly be of any benefit to us here
 'I am pleased with the idea of a con- centration of interests, but want an amend ment added to the plan and that is a turn in the direction of the sewer after it leaves the city limits of Birmingham to Shades creek through Graee's gap or some other low place in Red Mountain. This would in no wise interfere with our progress as city. We are afraid of all polluted streams, and we are afraid of sewer gas. It is well enough to reason about purifiers and the great benefits resulting from their use, but all depends upon the continued perfect systematic operation of these puri- fiers that admit of no negligence in their operation to prevent damage to parties living below them on the sewer or creek in which the sewer empties.
 ',This is a subject of great importance, but we cannot see any benefit flowing from this concentration of towns above us to the city of Bessemer or the people below us."
