The Mississippi River, with lie ten thousand relies of navirable channels traversing twenty States and Territories, is the chief, but there are aUo many other fine rivers, lakes and bayoas affording a rsmsrkable network of navigable routes in the MUsissippi Yalley and Gulf States. Despite the annual extension of railroads the benefits of water transportation for heavy freights like iron. coal, timber and tone.

cannot be overstated. Recently ia the coarse of an investigation in tbe Britisb Parliament into the state ot trade it was shown that "throjgh a comprehensive sytem of canals Germany bad ao cheapened the transportation of coal that she could even now export eosl to aad undersell Eaglieh mine owners in their own msrkets." Tbe growing development of Southern is das tries in eeal, iron, timber and agrlcnitnre, and tbe constantly increasing movement of commerce through the gulf porta to tbe countries to the southward, will continue to emphasize the importance ef our waterways. The decay in the steamboating business has been dne to the fact that tbe strisgsat demands of competition bad brought about a necessity for nsw methods in water transportation. These have been partly met by the barge sys-tstn, but tbe entire problem has not yet been properly solved. Modern aeience will be fonnd equal to all requirements, aad methods of watar transportation combining every requisite of eoonsmy, convenience and elieoti veoeas will in time be satisfastorily developed.

The days of boating are far from past. 15 ADYOCill CF 1EI1B. In a recent article in tbe Fortnightly Renew Geoeral Lord Wolseley, tbe Adjutant General of the British army, and lbs only General of prominence in tbe nerrioe, publishes a strong indorsement ef the maintenance of large standing armies. After reviewing tbe effeots ef the huge armaments of some of the continental powers of Europe, Lord expresses his admiration for the beneficial results, as he calls then, that have fallowed from such armaments and general oonsorip-tions. These huge standing armies, one of tbe greatest of living English generals calls a precious legaey bequeathed by tbe French revolntion.

and maintains that the preaent system of military training that is practiced on tbe Continent and which is equivalent to maintaining a rope in the condition of an armed camp, is a blessing safii'ient to compensate tbe nations of tbe Old World for all the losses growing out of the revolution of Lord Wulseley naturally accepts the German army as tbe highest type of this military development and becomes quite enthusiastic over tbe benefits that tbis inimitable military organization baa conferred on tbe social development of the German Enpire. Speaking of thie great military power, he saya: "Great as it is in war. it is infinitely greater as a national school for the moral, mental aad phyaical training of the According then to this aris toe ratio British soldier this perfection of the system of military development promo tee the physical training of men, habits of cleanliness and order, obedience to authority and a thorough moral education that could not be obtained in any other way. Thia universal military service ta con-si dared by Lerd Wolseley as the surest bulwark against communism and anarchy and the best preserver of tbe pablie peace and national institution. In this last result of the universal military service thsre will unquestionably be found many to agree with Lerd Wolseley who might not be disposed to adopt hia ideas oa the advisability of turning Europe into aa armed camp.

Ia those continental oountriea of Europe which now maintain standing armies tbere is every reason to believe that communism aad internal diaaea-siens are kept dewa by the meietenanoe of large military establiAhmean, but this is the result msrely of eironni-atancea that exist ia tfcsse countries alene. bnt whieh arc totally lacking ia England, where Lord Wolseley wenld have the lessons implied taken moat to heart. Eagland haa atetdily refussd to follow the example of continental Europe in maintaining a larae standing arm v. and while supporting a snffieisat number ef troop to meet ber absolute necessities, there he been no attempt at arbitrary eonscsiption or sempnlsory service. Yet in spite of England's neglect of the means pronounced essential by this high authority she has hitherto held her own fairly well in the race for power and presligs.

While msintamiag but a moderate atanding army. England has preserved in a state of perpetual effieiency an immense militia force, which is aa available in time of need as the best eqaipped standing Lrmr eon 14 be. Ueeides eae nas noen jable tc ds this without neglecting her powers of offense and defense; Her navy leads the world, aad her possessions ef defensive and offensive works aad armament rank with the most efficient st present in existence. What is true of Eoglaod ia also true of this country. Although our standing army ia but aa issignifissnt body, wc noeseas a well militia force, which if put in the field wonld constitute a host as formidable aa aay possessed by tbe meat vaunted powers af Eorepe.

It ia not. therefore, probable that any part of tbe Anglo-Saxon race ia likely to adopt Lord Wolselsy'a views on standing armies, hoc ever nscfal they may deem them for the maintenance ef order in other oommaolt ice. si ttisicuj cjuno.i Else where wc publish a report oi the action of a public meeting in tbe parish of West Baton Roage. in wnleb resolutions were a adopted denouncing attempts fo blacken tbe character of a dead woman. Mrs.

Tbe ease has already ao many eaturcc of aadueas and calamity that it wonld have been wiae and merciful to hare allowed it to alak into oblivion. No good can be effected by reviving its wretched details, and if the proper requirements of justice have been satisfied, no sort of consideration should be given to the morbid and nnholy demands ef a pestilent curiosity.

I mean to aay tbat if yoa examine tbe skeleton of a person who was atrong. healthy and well formed ia life, you will find that the bones of the left bauU and arm are jnst aa many and just as large and perfect as thcee of the right. The study of physiology will ahow you too that the muscles and ligaments and cartilages that taatened that person's arms to bis body and gave them the power of motion were made to do tbeir work jnst as well on one side of tbe body aa on the othor. It the left aide wate tbe weaker of the two.

it' waa because of failure to exercise it aa freely aa tne other. Monkeys and eate and other aniinala, to wbotn pawa are in a certain sense bands, would smile derisively, I imagine, if you ahould suggest to tbeai that pawa were righta or lefts, or tbat tbe paw on one cide could do mere than its mate. When, tbe re to re, a boy or girl saya tbat boor he can tnrow a ball, handle a racket or do anything else only with the right hand it ia a direct admission that a monkey or cat tc physically better equiped than tbat boy or girl. And yet it ia the general belief tbat human beings arc the moat perfectly formed of all creatures. First attempts to use the left hand are alwaya awkward aod discouraging, but in ordinary eases persistency will gradually atrengtben tba leaat need member and teach is to act aa ably aad aturdily as the right, till haally there will be two perfect hands instead of one to anawer promptly the call of the master of all powers the will.

The festival address was delivered in an unusually happy manner by Mr. Sol Marx, whose good-humored remarks and witty references were well appreciated. Mr. Jacob Stack, supported by a number of talented ladies and gentlemen, produced a cleverly acted little farce representing coantry life in tbe Palatinate, which waa greeted with continuous laughter. Tbe German and American national airs were sung by a chorus of young ladies.

Tbe new invention is modeled on. an ordinary yawl and consists of an airtight bull within a larger open hall, having four inches aperture on -each aide ef the keel.

Air chambers are plaeed fere, aft, and ia the sides and bottom. Wnen the boat was brought into sight of the spectators along the levee tbere were on beard Phil Hill, J. 8imon, John Boy I an, Cbaa. McCarthy, John Hints and W. J.

Boudro. Captain Cogan waa ia command. They were all weed awimmers. The boat was turned over a number of times and righted again very easily. It worked beautifully.

Oa one occasion all hands remained in her when she was bottom up. Tae air apace within her was sufficient te aecemmodate them all. On being righted the boat would be entirely free from water. Tba large gathering en the wharf applauded tbe feats performed by tne young men on board the boat and were amazed with the cleverness of the invention. CHARIIX FOR CONBMACGH.

says: Ont at Flemington, JUbcrty ooonty, tbere is just each excitement to-day aa tbere was in Jerusalem teen centuries ago. when the Galliican carpenter was tried before Pontiuc Pilate for calling bimaelf the son of God. For a montn a man calling himself Jesus Cbrist has been going about through Liberty county raving in au inaane way. which he called preaohing. The negroes have come to believe in mm.

and they are really in a most lamentable state. They nave accepted bis word as inspired teachings. "Give up everything aud follow me," he commanded, "vet your crops go. Turn your cattle ia the patches. In Lord will provide for you." And.

obeying bim. hundreds of negroes have quit work. Their little crops bave grown np with weeds. Tbe planters have bn deserted by their laborers, who absolutely refuse to work, lar-pentioe manufacturers and the saw mill men bare difficulty in getting help enough to continue operations. The colored population has been completely demoralized for three weeks.

To such ao extent bad tbe craze spread that the intelligent colored people and tbe white joined in discussing sotne plan to pat a stop to it. It was decided to arrest the crank or send him out of the oonntry. Some were ready to lynch him. but better coonael prevailed. So yeaterday a warrant waa issued by Magistrate YV.

A. Fleming for tbe man's arrest. He calls himself Jesus Christ, declaring tbat he desoended from Heaven in a cloud, la tbe warrant tbe name Campbell waa applied to bim. Two respectable colored preachers bad tbe warrants issued. Tbey charged Campbell with vagrancy.

He had prophesied tnat be would be arrested, and his followers disciples, as they call themselves had declared tbat he should not be taken away, and tbat no violence should be done bim. The women were more emphatic than the men. and the former had armed themselves witb guns, but the new proohe told bis people not to offer any resistance. Tbev feared that he wonld be crucified, but be told them that be would not be put to death again. When the officers went to arrest bim no resistance waa offered, but a large crowd soon joined tbe favored disciples, who are aloiost constantly about him.

They were ready to tear the officers to pleoes, but at their Lord's request suffered him to be taken quietly away. Thinking tbat be was to be carried to Hines-ville, the county seat, several miles away. men and women, but mostly women, took a short route across tbe country. Instead of going to mnrs-ville, tbe constable drove to Fleming- ton. wbere Justice Fleming resides.

To-day he waa tried. Ex-Congresauian Norwood went to Flemington to prose- cute the impostor at tbe request of tne leading citizens of the county. There is no telegraph office near Flemington, and the result of tbe trial coold But be learned to-night. Some of tbe whites and blacks wanted to lyncb the man, bat were persuaded not to. He shows scars in his hands which he says were made by tbe nails when be was crucified on Calvary.

His hair aod beard are long and abaggy, although he evideutly endeavors to trim his beard as the Savior is represented in some old pictures. Tbe negroes fall down and worship him and kiss his hands and feet and anoint him. He dresscssbabbi ly some ti mea, and at all times poorly, lie refuses money publicly, but is said to have money, and it was feared tbat the charge of vagrancy could not be sustained. Campbell came from the west, it is believed. At his blading women have left their husbands and men their families to follow mm about.

His familiarity with tbe Scriptures is exceptional He haa told tbe people tbat he will go back to Heavea in a chariot of lire at an early date. How General Toombs Joined the Masons. Colonel Larry Gantt writes aa follows to the Elbertou (Ga.) Star: "It is not ceaeraiiy known tbat General Robert loom be joined tbe Mesons fraternity of Elbcrton. and tbat tbe initiation took place sbortly after the surrender, when this great soldier and statesman was hiding from the federals to escape capture. Banda of federal troops were scattered ail over Elbert and Wilkes counties, searching every nook and corner for General Toombs, but he succeeded at last in escaping to Cuba and afterwards to England.

Major John H. Jonea waa at tbat time master ot the -Elberton Lodge, and information reached him that General Toombs, who waa concealed at Colonel Martin'a. was anxious to join tbe order. Major Jonea imparted thia information to a few members cf the lodge, and one dark night everything was gotten in readiness for initiation. In a disguise General Toombs came into Elbertou.

having succeeded in eeoaping the federal pickets that guarded every road. Ha waa carried by a back way into the lodgeroom. where a few members awaited bim, and by the dim light of a aiugle candle tbe three degreca that constituted him a Master Mason were administered. Those who were present say that ae remarkable waa General Toombs' memory ghat be went through the ordeal without a aingle mistake, and in a short time became one of the brightest Masona in tbe United States. After the initiation General Toombs was taken in hand by the Masons, passed from one brother to another until he was finally safely gotten ont of tbe coantry.

Every person in Elbert county was his friend, and he had no fear of betrayal. Tbe greater part ot the time he lay concealed in the woods and swamps." Ladles are xreatly benefited by the use ot Ad (-oat or Bitters, the Booth American tonle of lit. J. G. B.
