Ilaimes ( east; aad the Ltvee Dis trict. We copy from the Yazoo Herald the following luiid and conclusive rely from the Yazoo County Dem ocratic Executive Committee to that of Ilulmes county upon the levee question between said coun ties : v You say: "In matters of legis lation taxing the whole State, the will of the majority controls re gardless of the views of particular sections; iu matters of legislation where local taxation is imposed for local purposes the rule is dif fere nt, and no county bag ever been specially or locally legislated against wuhont its consent " You make two grave errors. First, j on presume that all-matters of legislation which do not tax the whole State are local. Secondly, you presume that the levee question is local to Holmes county. Iu a grossly incorrect and inac curate 80D8O. levee legislation and levee taxation might be said to be local, thut is, local to the overflow ed district consisting of Coaho ma, Tunica, Tallahatchie, Leflore, Qnitman, Sunflower, DeSoto, Yaz oo and Holmes. In no sense, however grossly iunccutate and in correct, could they be said to bo questions local to Holmes county. Leveea are a matter really of general interest to all the territory which is Inundated by the Missis sippi river, ami whether they shall be huiit at all, or, if built, bow it shall be ('one, are questions to be determined by tho majority of 'the penplo dwelling on the lands of fectfd regardless of tho opinion of the minority, and not by the people of Holmes or of any other minority section aflected. More over, ufter such questions are de termined by the innjority, and it haa been determined by an over whelming majority of the people interested that the levees should be built and tb.it the lands over flowed in 1882 should be taxed to pay for them then no one land owner, nor no wet of landowners from any one comity, nor, for that matter, from any two counties, lias the right to say us you do, "All right, 0 ahead, wo won't iu trifiio with yon; re will receive what benefit there is, if any, but wo will not pay any shute of the burden." There was sonic little argument for Hancock's celebrated utter ance that the tariff was a "local question." There is none at all for this ut'.ernnco of yours that this great qneMton of levee pro tcction of vital importance to fourteen counties or parts of conn ties and of equal Interest to them and to all the people of this broad D'dta more than that to their children and to their children's childrenis a question local to Holmes county. Your legislators wcro shrewder than your convention- They did n nt put it on. that ground when they prevailed on the Legislature to exempt them. They put it boldly, whether iu accordance with the facts or not-you your selves are the best judges on the ground that Holmes county never overflowed from the wateis o Mississippi river and consequently needed no levee protection. We hope Unit yon will do us tho justice to see that tins reply finds a place in your connty newspapers. Binco your communication has, we understand, been published by them: and since we do not wish the position of the Democracy o our county to be misunderstood. Again regretting that the no cessity of this discussion has nris cn, and trusting to the Bobcr sec oud thought of the people of Holmes ultimately to put an end to it iu the right way, cither by entering a fair Conventiait with us to which wo arc now and have al ways been open, or by voting for Yazoo's choice for Floater, the Hon.W.D.

The Minneapolis Tribune says : The section of the United States known as the West is pre emi nently the corn region of the world. Nowhere else save in the Danu biau principalities and the south of Russia cjn corn be raised as it can be raised iu Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Ne braska. Nowhere except in tho United States is corn produced in quantities more than sufficient to supply the home demand, and there is no market in the world where American corn is not a wel come importation. A writer it the New York Sun declares that this crop is the most important as well as the largest which the United Stutes produces, and gives iu the same connection : "According to the census of 1SS0 the corn crop is' nearly fonr times that of the wheat crop and nearly twice as much us the crop of wheat, barley oats,rye and buckwheat combined. The total production of corn for the entire United States was (crop year 18T9) 1,754,8(51,533 bushels; wheat, 459,479,503 bushels, and the total production of wheat, oats, barley, rye and buckwheat was on ly 643,100,921 bughels. The States which stand at the bead ns corn producing States are Illinois, 325, 792,481 bushels ; Iowa, 273,024,247 bushels ; Indiana, 113,482,300 bush els ; Ohio, 1 1 1.877,124 ; and Kan sas, 103,729,223 bushels. Ken tucky comes next with 72,000,0000 bushels, and Nebraska follows, with 05,000,000 bushels. It will be observed thut the four States, Illi nois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana produced mere than one-half of the entire crop. That the corn crop of the pres ent year will be one of the largest ever gathered, seems now vtry well assured, and it is likely to prove uirimportaut element in the restoration of a satisfactory con dition of business affairs in the West. Some limitation of the wheat crop need not prevent this result, and of course will not, be cause this latter crop is going to be fairly good even after all of its drawbacks have done their worst. We look for tho corn crop of 1S85 to have a largo influence upon Western business, and for that in fluence to bo favorable iu tho ex treme A CKE1T RUE. Kisi Woodford Eoit3 Froltnd. Then came tho greiit match at $2300 each, with $2400 added by the association ; ono and a quar tcr miles. Dwyer Brothers' mare Miss Woodford (Ave years. 115 pounds, ridden by McLaughlin) was tho favorite. She brought $200 in the pools to $150 for Cor rigan's gelding Freelnnd (six years, 117 pounds, ridden by Murphy). Betting in the Books Five to 3 on Miss Woodford, 7 to 5 against Freelnnd. It was an even start. McLaugh lin instantly gave Miss Woodford her head and set out to open a gap that Frcchmd could not close The nmre made the miming from the first stride but the pace was not fust. Murphy rode Freelnnd under an eacy pull two lengths behind the mnre. Ho made no ef fort to shorten the space betweeu them as they flitted through the first half mile. Then McLanghlin glanced back. The sight of Free land moving with great power tin der a pull was not reassuring, and McLaughlin began to hurry the mare. The first half mile was ran in 54 3 4 seconds. The next quar ter mile along the backstretch was a spurt of breathless speed. It was run iu 24J seconds. Murphy was no longer pulling Frceland but had not begun to urge him, yet the wonderful son of Longt'el low lessened the distance between the two a few feet. Down the lower turn they rnshed, Miss Wood ford now a little over a length be fore Freelnnd. This quarter mile was mado in 2."J seconds. Mo Laughlin kept the mnre close to the inner rail as they entered the homestretch and Murphy had to take Freelaud to the outside. The mare sprang forward for the final struggle with renewed spirit and speed, and thongh Mnrphy now began to rido Freeland with vigor, he could not get nearer until the Inst hundred yards was reached. Miss Woodford was a full length In advance at the furlong post, but half way between that point and the line the effort of making the pace told on her and she Black ened her stride slightly. Mc Laughlin gave her whip and spur and rode her as he never mile be fore. He forced her over the line a neck before Freelaud iu 2:00$. Murphy made a masterly finish, bat the mare's last link of .speed just barely beat Freeland. French pools f i.t).H - A SKILLFIL SCi RET1RY. M. Ltmir'i Fnvta u & SwortUau Ctmon3'-nte4. A geutlemsu who knows hiai well says that Secretary Lamar is the best swordsmau iu Washing ton, and tells a rather amusing story of bow he discovered the facf. "I am a swordsman of no mean ability myself, and when I was employed at the capitol several years ago, I had a pair of foils that I brought across with me. I bud lots of fun there with the other employes, and occasionally the Senators would take a hand. Coukling and Ingulls both used them. One day I was in the room of the committee on public lauds, just shaking the foils for my own amusement, when Secretary (then Senator) Lamar came in. He had just recovered from a severe ill ness and was very week. He eyed me for a moment, then com ing forward, said : "I used Jo use the foils myself once, but I have almost forgotten.' "I then began to twist them with the fancy twists and all that just to show off, as it were, and he said again : "'Let me feel that.' "I did so and got the other one, noticing iu the meantime that be handled his blade us though he knew something about it. I struck au attitude, but be said: 'Not now ; I will come in some other time.' "I told him that I wouldn't hurt him, but he wouldn't try. "It was about a month after that when he came in again, and he bad by this time recovered his strength. He said that he wonld like to try, and I got the foils down and adjusted the buttons, chuckling over the prospect. I changed my mind, however, when I saw him take off his coat and pick up the foil to test it. Ho has got a very flexible wrist, and he made that blade cut lightning. "Well, when we were ready, he put up bis guard, and I kucw then that I hud bit off a large mouthful. I made some thrusts, bnt he was always there, oud 1 couldn't get through to save my lifo. Then I rcBortcd to all tho tricks I knew but every thrust was parried as neatly, and a grim smile was on the Senator's face. Ho had been acting on the defensive, but when I got through am n sing him that room was full of sword cnts. He hit me ten times a second, and I might just ns well have had straw to defend myself with. Ho came under and over, and I have an indistinct recollection of seeing the finest coutellation that man over looked ou. "When I had my breath, which I did while he was putting on his coat, with the grim smile still ou his face, there were thirty chalk marks on me, five of which were right over my heart. I was blue for a week nfterwnrd. While I was putting up the foils he went ont, stopping at the door to sny: " 'I thought that I had forgotten how to use them, and I sadly need ed practice." SE1T J03. San Francisco Post. A man entered the bauk about 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and asked for a bill of exchange for $65 50, depositing ou the coun ter at the same time the necessary silver coin. Receiving the check he had asked for, the person de parted quickly. There was in the bauk at the time John E. Anzerais, the cashier, and E McLanghliu, the manager. A very short time after the hurried departure of the strange man the cashier discovered the loss of a tray containing .10, 000 iu $20 gold pieces. The alarm was at once given, and the Suu Jose police commenced a search. Tho supposition was that four men are concerned in the robbery, and that one slipped inside of the bank door from the stairway adjoining while the others attracted the at tention of the bauk officers. The bauk offers a reward of $1,000. The draft was made out to the or der of II. F. Anderson, of New York. The young man who called for the draft was about thirty years old, neatly dressed iu a dark summer suit and wearing a light moustache. Soon after his depart ure one of the coin trays was no ticed to bo disarranged, and being lifted, was found too amazingly light for the amount of gold which it was supposed to represent. What appeared to bo stacks of $20 pieces were, in reality, gilded wood. Tho scheme of the bank robbery came over Manager McLaughlin like a flush. Funeral T a Plnese Empress.

This colossal installation, and all theso fields of operations, 'over which are mauceuvered hundreds of machines, thouanud9 of cars, and a'formidalile materiel, required a speciul organization for the ser vice of the trasports, the starting and the repairs necessitated by continuous work. For this reason the Isthmus has been divided Into three sections from Colon to San Fablo, from San Tablo to the Pa ciflo with the central seat of the shops at Matachin, at the foot of tli s dam and the great cutting, the entire set of tools, apparatus, etc that which is to be sent to the different fields of operation, and that which comes from the latter for repair is concentrated at Matachin. The Isthmus railway which is now the property of the Interoceanio Canal Company, won derfully facilitate that moving about of the implements, etc., np on which depends the regular op eration of the different sections. In short, more than two-thirds of the canal ars now underway, with a formal engagement on the part of tho contractors to have their sections finished at an epoch that shall not exceed the end of 1387. The execution of the canal, then, is a problem that is now solved. The parties who have contracted to perform their work cannot break their agreement. The com plin y, moreover, holds in reserve sufficient tools to aid any contrac tor who is getting behind. All the contracts contain a special clause that gives the director- 'goneral of the works the right to step in with bis own machines and bis own men in any case of this kind. Im iN hi lire. Railroad Strike. Special to the Times Democrat! Meridian, Angust 24. The me chanics and laborers in the Queen niiu uresceni suops went on a strike this morning for their back pay, amounting to two months aud twenty three days. They likewise demand thut the company shall fix a regular pay day for regulur monthly payments. They uotifled the officials of they intentions and as fast us freight trains ranie in over any of the Queen und .Cres cent system they detached their engines aud run them into the round house. The switch engine wui ullowed to remain in use till 10 o'clock, when it was ul?o housed. Four freight trains are here now unable to move for want of engines. The mail trains will not be interfered with, but it is the expressed determination of the strikers not to permit freight trains to be removed until their demands are complied with. The strikers number about 200 men, nuu they have conducted themselves with so much sobriety and quietness that on the streets away from the railrord no one could tell that anythiug unusual was going ou. Two Singular Lunatics. The Mortistown Jerseyman tells ofalunntio at the Morris Plains Asylum who was mute for five years. Even the physicians thought he had lost the power of speech. One day two of his fing era were mangled in a washing machine. To the astonishment of everybody who heard bim he ex claimed : "By the great and jump ing Moses, a devil is better than au inventor."

He thinks his brain, in fact, is a multiplication table His insanity seems pardon able, for only a few sauo men can compete with him as a mathema tician. Every day he soaks his head in water to prevent the blocks from rattling, aud occasion ally he begs for oil to put into his ears, so that the imaginary squares will slip upon each other more easily. Horror ef Horrors. Montgomery, Ala., Ang. 21. A special to the Advertiser from Tallcdega, says; In that county J. II. McGowau killed aud dressed a pig for a barbecue last night. His three children, agod, eleven, uine aud four, saw' the process of butchering the pig. The next day McGowan left home and the chil dren agreed to repeat the process of the day before. Having no pig the two older children proceeded to butcher the youngest. They cut its throat aud hung it up by the heels as the pig had bung, and were proceeding to disembowel, it when their mother discovered file (lilt ri!Hl inrrmiv: auspicious day for the celebration of the funeral rites." So ran the announcement of the death of the widow of the Emper or Hsien Feuz. Ever since the Empress died her remaius have been deposited in a mortuary chapel, situated iu the grounds of the palace. At Its summit a beautiful sum mer house is built, and its slopes are decorated with trees and shrubs of various descriptions. For seven mouths tho body of the Empress reposed on the hill. Every day delegations of high man darins visited the shrine to offer sacrifices and prayers, while a le gion of Buddhist lamas aud Tauist priests lived in little huts around the gardens, whose duty it was to offer prayers for repose of the soul of her Majesty. The Kwan Teh Tien, for such is the name of tho mortuary chapel, was sacredly gnnrded from mortal ken. Two weeks previous to the date fixed for the funeral the roads leading to the imperial tombs which are styled lung ngiin tien lit (abiding resting hall of the drngon) were under a process of lenovntion. After the roadway waa repaired traffic on the portion renovated was entirely suspended. As it is an essential feature, iu a Chinese imperial funeral that the coffin must tie carried steadily and with out ttie least swaying, for some twenty days previous to the obse qules the men who were destined to bear the corpse were drilled under the eye of officials to pro ficiency. Two Immense beams, painted yellow, nipported a lofty canopy and stand, where the coffin wus to rest. Upon this stand the presiding official was seated, hold ing a cup of wter in his ham's. The desired point was achieved when the bearers could step to gether and not spill a drop. On the appointed morning, nt early dawn, the procession left the palace and proceeded on Its way through the lion Men, or back gate. The cntnfnlquo was carried from the sluine to outside the gate by 128 bearers. Iu a yel low canvass tent, situated on the plateau outside the city, the coffin wus deposited by the bearers, there to await tho arrival of th bo.y Emperor and the Western Empress. There were some 10,: 000 soldiers of tro imperial body guard ns an escort and guurd for his Majesty and the Empress, wh arrived at 5 a. m. to pay their las farewell to the dead ruler. Dur ing tho passage of the processio along the street the ends of the lanes abutting ou tho main thor oughfares were screened by blue cloth, and every house and sbo was tightly closed. Any one caught gazing at the imperial cor tege was arrested and severely punished. The Emperor and Em press, aftor performing a number of prostrations and ofi'ering li tuitions to the departed soul, re turned to the palace. In order to give rest to the bearers of the enormous catafalque, there were no less thuu 1000 men detailed to act as relays. The procession then moved in the following order: First came a number of musicians ytCi drums, trumpets, cymbals and flutes, but playing no music, these instru ments being only sounded at vari ous points and intervals. Next, three Imperial carts, the bodies and wheels painted a rich yellow, with canopies of a straw colored satin, the tops surmounted byj glided ornaments, and drawn hy two white horses with gilded trap lugs. Then came a hundred white ponies, with red ttappings, led by spearmen. Next appeared three sedan chairs covered with yellow silk, two carried by eight men iu scarlet robes, while the third was richly decorated with gilded orna ments and was borne by sixteen men. These chairs were the ones used by the late Empress. Follow iug iu older came a number of high mandarins and princes on horseback, attetidniifs carrying large fans ot different colors. Bags of white, yellow, black and blue silks, with the five-clawed dragon emblazoned upon them, and the is carrying huge umbrellas. Then appeared the ponderous cata falque, with twenty mandarins on foot in front of it. This hngeliier was draped in yellow atin, and in stiHpe re se m Med au ordinary stave. Under a canopy covered with silk, npon which a dragon was embroidered in gold thread, the coffin reposed. The roof of I he canopy Imd a large gilt ball fixed in carvings resembling flames of fire an(J fringed with tffsacls. The 128 bearers wore scarlet silk robes, offli ial hoots, and hnts with yellow iti:iges. In order to Keep now state iu a public manner to a ost and undone race that unless the roller rink is at at once abol ished the whole civilized race will at once be plunged iuto arnica. 1 had tried it once before, but bad not curried my experiments to a successful termination. I made trip around the rink last Angust but was ruled out by the judges for incompetency, and advised to skate among people who were ostile to the Government of the United States, while the proprie- ors repaired the rink. Ou thy 9t!i of last September I nestled iu tho bosom of a cyclone to excess, and it has required the bulk of the succeeding months for nature to glue tho bones of my my leg together in proper shape. hat is the reason I have not giv en the attention to roller skating that I should. A few weeks ago I read what Mr. Talmuge said about the great national vice. It was bis opinion that if we skated iu a proper spirit w e could leave the riuk each e voti ng with our immortal Boulsiu good shape. Somehow it got out ou Thurs day evening I would undertake the feat of skating three rounds in three hours with no protection to my scrupules, for one half the gate money, Talmage rules. .So there was quite a largo audience present wit h opera glasses. Some had umbrellas, especially on the front rows. These were worn spread, ii order to ward off fragment of tho rink which might become dis engaged and set iu motiou by at mosphcric disturbances. In obedience to a wild Wagner an snort from the orchestra I came forth Into the arena with my skates iu band. I feel perfectly at home before an audience when I have my skates In hand. It is a morbid de It is a morbid desiro to wear the skates on my feet that has always been bete noire. Will the office boy please give mo a brass-check for that word so that I can get It in when I go away 1 My first thought nfler getting myself secured to the skates, was this: "Am I lu the proper frame of mind? Am I doing this in the right spirit t Am I about to skate in such away as to lift the fog of unbelief which now envelops a sin ful world, or shall I deepen the opaque night iu which my race is enveloped V " Just then that end of the riuk erupted in a manner so forthwith and so tout ensomble that I had to push it back in place with my person. I never saw anything done with loss delay or less lan guor. The audience went wild with en thusiasm, and I responded to the encore by writing my name lu the air with my skates. This closed the first seance, and my trainer took me in the dress-inir-room to attend a consultation of physicians. After the riuk car penter had jacked up the floor a little I went out again. I had no fears about my ability to perform the mechanical part assigned me, but I was still wortied over the question whether it would or would not be of lasting benefit to mankind. Those who have closoly scru tinized my frame in repose have admitted that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Studeuts of the human frame say that they never saw such a wealth of loose ucss and limberness lavished npon one person. They claim that na tore bestowed upon me the binges aud joints intended for a whole family, and thereforo when I skate the air seems to be perfectly lurid with limbs. I presume that this Is true, though I have so littlo leisure while skating in which to observe the method itself, the plot or animus of tho thing as it were, that my opinion would be of little vnliu to tho scientist. I am led to believe that the roller skate is certainly a great civillzer and a wonderful loveler of mankind. If we so skate that when the summons comoa to seek our ward lu the general hospital, where each shall beat his busted cuticle within the walls where riukisis squirm, we go not like the moral wreck, morally paralyzed, but like a hired man taking his medicine, and so forth we may skate with perfect impunity, or any one else to whom we may be properly introduced by our cook.
