LewistoGn, Del Sept 2. 1922
The commissioners appointed by the u
niied States government to survey the
shears in the Delaware Bay have arrived
here, and gone on the expedition. 1t is a
measure of great moment, and should it
be carried into effect it will be of infinite
importance, both to The port Of Philadel
phia and to the state of Delaware. The
measure has for its object the erection OF
piers on The shears, shoal which now
forms the barrier Of Hoarkils Roads, the
only harbor 10 Delaware Bay for shipping.
The merchants of Philadelphia, it is said.
will give their assistance to the govern
men,, and thus make good mole or bar
Dor. 1t is vast undertaking, but not
80 difficult as may be imagined, inasmuch
as TIE shoaI they intend to erect the break
water upon, has not more than four TO-
eight feet water, with solid sandy bot
tom, hard as a rock. it will be within
mile or two Of :he sea, and embrace the
anchoring ground and as good depth OF
water as is to be found in the Delaware,
without any impeachment of shoals or other
wise, between it and the ocean. 1t 1t
should be completed as it is proposed, it
will doubtless be the best harbor in the u
MON for large vessels.

docs 1las ! chapter on the sWorsAip Of
Rivers particularly Of the Ganges.
OF the extravag CANT qualities SO per-
niciously ascribed bythe dsluded Mui-
,itudes 70 this river. Mr.. Ward in the
cha pier first quoted, gives the follow
ing details
s.The Sacred Books declare, thatthe
sight. the name or the touch OF the
Gauges. takes away all Gin, however
heinous-that thinking of the Ganges,
when at distance is sufficient to re-
move the faint Of sin-but that bathing
liz the Ganges has blessings in il,
which no imagination can conceive
In one Of these Books it is sald-"He
who thinks upon Ganga, though ne may
be 500 miles distant from the river at
the time, is delivered from all sin and
is entitled to heaven AT the hour OF
death, if personsthink on Ganga. he
will obtain place in the heaven of Sic
va. If a person, according to the regu-
lations Of the Shaster, be going to battle
in Ganga, and die on the road, he shall
obtain the same benefits as though he
had actually oathed There are three
million five hundred thousand holy pla-
ces belonging to Ganga; the person who
looks at Ganga, or battes in this river,
will obtain all the fruit which arises
from visiting all these three million five
hundred thousand holy places, by bath
ing in Ganga, accompanied with prayer
a person will remove, at once, the sins
OF thousands Of births"
$50 much is this river reverenced
mong the Hindoos, that many Brahmins
will not look upon nor throw saliva into
nor wash themselves nor their clothes
in its waters. In one of their Books,
among many other forms of praise to
be offered TO Ganga, is the following
20 Goddess! the Owl, that lodges in
the hollow of tree on thy banks, is cx-
allied beyond measure: while the EN-
peror, whose palace is far from thee,
though he may possess million Of state
ly elephants, and may have the wives
of millions Of conquered enemies to
serve him, is nothing" Some persons
undertake a journey of five or six
months to battle in the Ganges, to per.
form that rite for the deceased rela.
lions, and to carry back its waters for
religious aud medical uses.
