' ' -Yl Our magnificent celebration of the Centennial of Federal Union scems, dis covers the New York Mercury, already to be bearing fruit among our neighbors. The five States of Central America have thus fur been kept asunder by local jealousies and prejudices such as nearly wrecked the ellort to form the union of these States one hundred years ago. Re cently, the Central American plates have taken one important step toward the for mation of a union, by entering into an agreement that no one of tin m shall make a treaty with any foreign power without the consent of all the rest. This mutual surrender of an inherent right by which one of the States might form alliances detrimental to the interests of the others indicates a strong tendency in the direction of forming a more perfect federal union, and may hasten that de sirable consjKur.iat it Quei u Victoria, who was seventy years fid in May, is doing well toward keeping up the record of the House of Hanover tor longevity.

N. ., FRIDAY, JULY IMPE0VE THE WATEE-WAYS. The South has lccn blessed ly nature with a splendid scacoast and with num- hcrless rivers, large and MnalL, penetrat ing every jKirtof this section. The value of these water-ways for transjiortation purjifiscs, not counting tLtir other ad vantagi, i.s even now. Inyond estimate, but their future worth when more fully improved,. so that their traflic will lie nn imjelel, is dcstinol to le greater than tan be fully ajpreiatcd. One of the most vitally imjxrtant linM of work which the jieople of the South must take up in earnest is the deejienhig of their luirliors and the imjrrjveinent of their rivers. There are now. several great en terprises of this eliiiractcr, such as the work on the Muscle- Shoals Canal of the Tennessee river, which is destined to al most revolutionize tl freight tnitlic of the central Smth, and the building of harbors at Aransas Pas, and at the mouth of the Rrazos river in Texas. These must be followed 13-others of equal magnitude. The rivers that jienctrate the interior must, wherever it is practicable, Ik: im proved on a scale commensurate with their importance as possible freight car riers. The South is destined to have an enormous freight t rathe from its iron and steel industries, its coal mines, its lum ber mills, its cotton and other factories, besides its great quantity of agricultural products. Its foreign and coast wise ship ping interests within ten, or even with live years, will be sufficient to greatly de velop the jKirts on the Atlantic and Gulf co:ists, and provision must Ik; made for deep harbors and unobstructed rivers. The value of water-ways was recently very strongly shown lKfore a parliament ary committee of investigation as to the necessity for a proposed canal, when a witness from Germany testified that "through a comprehensive sj-stem of canals Germany had so cheajK'ned the trausjiortaliori of coal that he could even now exjwirt coal to England anil under sell English mine owners iu their own markets." In seeking to secure low freight rates for the products of their furnaces and mines Southern business men must study the possibilities of improving their water ways. The Manufacturers'' Record has for many years uged, and insisted that more active steps should be taken to secure government aid on a libeial scale for this work. Yith an overflowing treasury, in ternal improvements, which can only be made by the national government, and which would prove of incalculable value to all sections by 'reducing the cost of transportation, are neglected because of a mistaken idea as to the great work of river and harlior improvements.. This and the building up of our merchant marine, are two of the most important matters that can now claim the attention of the Amer ican people, and in both the South is probably more deeply and directly inter ested than any other section, Manufac turer i? Record.- Tennessee's First Governor Knoxvii.i.k, Tknx. Tlie remains of John Sevier, the lirst Governor of Tennes see, which have lain for fourteen years in North Alabama, were re-interred in Knoxville with imposing ceremonies.

Andy Caldwell, a negro who commit ted a criminal assault on a lady from Kockton vicinity, while going to Colum bia under guard was taken from the train at Rockton and shot dead by a crowd. Caldwell's crime was of a par ticular shocking character. While the hellish act was Ix-ing jierjict rated by him, a daughter of the lady attempted to save her mother by discharging a load from a double barrel shot nm at the nerros head. The cap snapjied, and the fiend ish ruffian sprang up, wrenched the gun from the girl's hands, and shot her in the thiuli. A runaway marriage attended with very unusual results took place iu Aiken count a few days ago. The parties went to a minister on Sunday and were duly married.

Themvtwo men are Thomas A. Edinoa and George Wcstinshou?e, Jr. Ik.th have a world wide fame, and U.th deserve tlwir gnat f.une. Edi.n is, jh rhajw?, the broader, minded philosopher, but Wcstinghous excels hint iu prartirid management of alfairs. hi ing a shrewd busim-ss man and actively engaged iu the ilirection of a vast mechanical industry. Jlr. est inghou.se name is identified with the air brake, which caused a revo lution in railroading. It has been esti mated that this MTi-Je invention doubled the cap:icity aiid value of railntd, as it enabled them to run trains nt far higher fined and with guat. r freqw ncy. Re cently he h is I m-cii. engaged in jH-rfccting hLs brake so as to nj.ply it to freight trains, and when this is done another great fetcp will be taken iu trani.orU tion. Within a few years Mr. AVcrtitighouse has applied his fertile mind nnd tirelci-i energies to electricity in its bu-inciui an cts.
