In regard to the late remarkable his tory of the Uarfleld campaign Dorsey says: "What the Sun has published is only . a thistle-down floating in the cloudy air of suspicion." They are organizing an aeriel naviga tion company in Chicago with a capital etock of 82.000.00Q in 8200 shares. In this somebody will make some money and somebody will lose. The Bev J W Stein, president of a female college at Mt Morris, Ills., has created a sensation in that village by eloping with Miss Tombough, a beauti ful sixteen year old pupil from Bedford county, Va. The Augusta Chronicle notes that the money heretofore sent North to speculate in cotton futures has this "year been invested in brick and mortar in that city, which is better for Augus ta and' for the investors. . Roscqe Conkling, when in the Senate was the worst speller in that body, if the Washington Critic is to be believed. He used to spall wagon with two "g's" andCzir minus the "C" and with a capital "Z".

President Arthur visit to Louisville yesterday to open the exposition gave the Kentuckians an opportunity to tshow how enthusiastic they could be--come-wer the presence of a live Presi dent. He was warmly welcomed, and thas no .cause to regret his visit to the 'blue grass region. It is apprehended that the destructive .earthquake 01 the Island of Ischia may (be but the precursor of other disastrous visitations, and is taken as an evidence tbat Vesuvius ia preparing for active operations. These earthquake disturb ances always precede the volcanic out .bursts of Vesuvius. i I The following from the Washington Critic reflects our sentiments: Is it not about time for the Louisville Courier -Journal and the New Tork Sun to cease for a season pouring out whole pallf nls of slop about the "eminent services of : Sammy Tilden" to his country. These two journals should cease their sky ecr aping operations for a day and give the people a bill of particulars. Dorsey in an interview with the re porter of a Chicago paper denies the au thenticity of the exposures published in the New York Sun. He says that while portions of the narrative are true, there is much that is net true. The principal thing in it, howerer, to which he seems to object is giving Brady any credit for helping to carry Indiana. He ' wants all that glory for himself. : HoBtiagfor Frleatfs at Cassimicciola London, August 1. Latest advices from Cassimicciola says that a number of English and Americans have arrived there in search of friends and relatives who are supposed to have beenvictims of the calamity. It is stated that there are a thousand dead at Lacco, a thousand at Forco and 2500 at Cassimicciola, and damage to property very great. Five shocks of earthquake have been felt at Weishaden.

With the first streak of daylight crowds of people began pouring into the city from every So hit of ; the compass. Trains were oubled up. By 0 o'clock the main streets were so full that it was difficult to pass along the sidewalks. The Pres ident rested well and was ready by 11 o'clock this morning to take hispart in the exercises of the day. The presiden tial party left the Gait House In carria ges escorted by a. body of police and military organizations, and moved by the most direct route to the exhibition. There was a perfect overture the entire distance, thousands of people cheering as the distinguished visitors passed them. : The great main building, capa ble of holding twenty thousand people, was filled completely anl the crowd was too thick for comfort. President Dupont, of the exposition, welcomed the President. President Arthur gracefully responded and concluded by starting the vast . machinery and pro nouncing the exposition open.' The crowd was wild with enthusiasm. The presidential party leaves for Chicago ta-night. The managers of the exposi tion were most agreeably surprised at the unlooked for crowds on the first day. Fatal Cat tola Caaaed r a Baasliag j Telegraph Operator. Tkot. Aug, 1 Two Troy & Boston freight trains collided this morning at Parnal, Vt. The locomotives and trains were wrecked. Six men were killed, employees of the road. ; Two were en gineers of the two locomotives, one was a conductor and one was a telegraph operator in the employ of the Troy and Greenfield Railroad. The night opera tor at Petersburg junction is blamed for the collision. He had been given orders to hold one train at the junction and neglected to transfer bis instruc tion to the day operator, who in his ig norance allowed the train to pass. Oar Water Power. The great mass of people have but little conception of the amount of un used water power at the South, partic ularly on the rivers of the South At lantic States. The water power of North Carolina for instance. Is simply tre mendous. The main streams of this State have an aggregate length of "3.300 miles, with an average fall of ten feet Kr mile, giving a horse power which of. Kerr estimates at 300.000. The numerous tributaries and small streams are not included in this estimate, and Prof. Kerr says that the wasted water power of North Carolina rivals the estimated steam power, both stationary and locomotive, employed in Great Britain. The Ok Great Issae. Mew Toifc WorlO. . There is no tariff issue in the cam paign. The lire and real issue is the issue between the continuance in power or the banishment from power of a party honeycombed with dishonesty and extravagance and unable te pun ish even its most notorious thieves. Publio attention will not be diverted from this issue by the shallow pretense that one branch of ConaressJf it ahonld be ever so willing to "smash the tariff" could do so while the other branch of Congress and the executive veto block the way. ; Aaotaer Big Shoe Fail are.

Private tele grams have been received here which state that there was a slight earthquake on the Island of Ischia on the 24th of July, but that the fact was hushed up by the authorities for fear that if a report of it was sent abroad visitors would be- debarred from visiting the Island.

The com pany Is demoralized. They are offering bribes, and trying in every conceivable manner to break the ranks. It Is their last desperate effort to prop' a falling cause. The following report is from a Brotherhood detective: i"t . . "Called upon one of present force of Western Union office yesterday. In re sponse to postal, writing me to call and exchange views. ' He is -a non-member, one of the best men In the office, and thoroughly reliable. He says,' only about six first-class men in the office. There Is no law, order or discipline. There Is about twenty-five per cent, of business doing. There is no system of reliefs. If a man is tired, all be has got 1 1 do is to say so, hang . up his business' and skip home. If it Is Impossible to send by wire, it Is mailed. r - - 3 - Railroad Folate. Another big railroad flatter will soon be beard, if the Augusta Evening News has not been misled. We copy what it says as a "pointer" for holders of stock: "The next anticipated rise, the knowing ones say. Is In the stock of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Road. This is explained by the new combina tion, the increased business and the re ceut Issue of 83,000,000 of bonds for pay ing the debt of the road and bettering the road itself. We shall see what we shall see." ; ; Speaking of the Richmond A . Dan ville, the recent advance in its stock does net appear altogether the result of a change in ownership, but also a legiti mate result of Increased earnings. From reliable authority we learn that the fol lowing were the earnings of the Rich mond & Danville system from January 1 to July 1 : Gross. 1883, 83.40U074 ; 1832, 83,067,131. Net, 1883, 8 1.370.411; 1882, 8770,090. This wonderful showing makes a net increase of a little more than ninety per cent. This looks like business, and would aeem to argue that the new owners of the system have made a good bargain.

The attraction nowis his large and excellent vineyard, cover ing five or six acres of land, and it is a eight worth seeing. The hundreds of vines are drawn down by their loads of grapes in all stages of growth, from the little green fellows up to the large black ripe ones. Besides what grapes he will want for his own use and to sell, Mr Wads worth will have enough to make a few neighborly jags of wine.

Among other things the correspondent reports: The Senator stated that we must change our policy in the , South, and dignify labor more than has ever been done in the past. The learned profes sions are now crowded to overflowing. Hundreds of very bright boys are not known to be bright because they have bad no chance to show their brightness. He thlaks that the very best thing to be done is to establish, in connection with the university, a school of technology where these bright boys could be train ed in all the mechanic arts. " We need not only engineers, but we need men who know how to make engines and cars, and all the Implements of hus bandry that are used in our fields. We need men who know how to build fac tories and how to run them. . , a,-' - '-.--:- o e. . o " And while the Senator would not dis parage the learned professions, for they are of immense use, he said, he would rank the mechanic arts alongside of them and their usefulness and that they ought to command all the means neces sary from the State treasury for the development of the minds of the youth who are to be engaged in them. No one can over estimate - the - importance of these things, in his opinion, and he very cordially favors any plan that the Legislature may adopt that will accom plish this object. :, - - j , ; ; . , ' "I CAltOStR,. j -U' '; -:- EJfo aT aba Vaeef lfaa ortflc- I8peeial Correspondence Atlanta (Oa.)
