nual rise of the river all these large
Bayous and lakes would be dry rescr-
voirs ready t~oreceive the rain and trans
poration waters which would probably
little more than fill them by the time the
water would begin to fall. 1t has been
said by the knowing men that %culverts
would notshand in this soil, but this as
sertion is ,fairly c~onhradicted by the
two that Mr.. G.. L. Miller built III this
vicinity which stood firm one of them
is yet remaining open and has not
gave way with all the ravages of the
high water. All the fault there was to
them Mr.. Miller committed al error and
did not built them long enough to CON
duct the water a proper distance from
the base of the Lcvee.
We cannot better illustrate the pres
ent system of internal improvements
of the State of Louisiana than as fol-
lows:
On the political stage there once sat
an enormous jug Of old Rye Whiskey,
in which there was no headache or red
eye, but aspirants who are always fond
of hat kind of beverage made many
attempts to refine its good qualities and
Mr.. S. was the first to drop in a little of
his solution, when some declared that it
had a far better favor and others con-
tended that it was becoming adulterat-
ed. Then Mr.. IL seeing that the good
people were not satisfied, soon convinc-
ed them that he could easily make it all
right, st he dropped in a little Of his
composition, when the contending part
of the people began to see plainly, that
the good spirits was fast becoming a dan
gerous mixture. Then Mr.. l took the
field, and being a scientific man, prom
Used to use every chemical process nec-
essary for its publication, and fully con-
WINGED them that it was the easiest thing
in the world to accomplish, if the dear
would only all pull together
The people were now all rejoicing that
they had found a good and faithful
that was SO willing and SO COM
potent to purify that old jug, that they
drink of its contents in its purity,
and after exercising his hydropathical
science for considerable time and finding
that his constituents were about to lose
in their benefactor, he told
them to be of good cheer, that there was
little more of the essential compost
ton to be had, and then their anticipa-
would be more than filled; but on
close examination they fonnd that the
contents Of the jug not only tasted bad
out actually smelt very offensive and
he last bit Of it's essential compound
md strength was either leaking out or
evaporating.
The next scientific gentleman that is
o figure in this great work it is. suppos-
ID will be Mr.. T., and in case that he
be the choice, we will thank
some friend. otell us what is in the Jug.

other words parties found willing TO pay ten dollars
per share for the option for three years Of taking up
shares at par Should the shares rise within THAI period
10 any thing like the value attained some time ago, the
purchasers Of the option will OF course exercise their
right and net considerable profit the other hand,
should the shares ascend beyond ten premium,
hey will lose te ten dollars per share now paid for
tive ard even partake Of gambling character, yet sui;
the views of some operators. The way in which such
transaction benefits an existing shareholder who sub
scrbes to the loan is thus Supposiug that he SUB
sorb 81 900 for seven per cent bond and sells at
$40 per share the option OF twenty five shares thereto at
ached he pays reality only $3.50 for the bond and, in
he event of the oap heng only partially taken up, anda
Gallon the shares being thus rendered necessary, he
could pay in on account of the CALL instead OF cash at
the rate of 81 coo the bond which rs cnly cost him $3.50
The project is ingeniously devised with view induce
existing shareholders increase their stake the

floating debt cleared of sanguine opinion is entertained
by the parties Interested.
