En- oF TRBuNE'-Dcar Sir--While spending
a few days in your city last week, attending
Court ! WIS forcbly struck with the truth Of
how fast your city is opprximating our larger
cities in corruption and swindling; and especial.
" among your young men or at least portion
Of thom. While standing upon one Of the cor
ncrs where the streets cross. I saw an unsuspcct.
ing young man, apparently from the country
while passing by, pick up from the street a larg,
gold pen with silver case. Being discovered
by three young men, one Of them remarked to the
others that they would follow him aud make him
.dupc Of their swiuding operations, and started
IN pursuit Of him. saw the couutryman enter
grocery near by, when one Of his followers
perhaps from remorsc Of conscience, rsturned.-
The other two, passing around a corner, soon re-
turned with another comrade, u SON Of the "Em-
erald Isle, (who by the way Is doing business
in your city, and expects public patronage and
started in pursuit Of the comtiymon.
Curiosity led me TO follow, at a respectful dis-
tance, 70 witness their proceedings and, upon en-.
tcring the grocery where tho young man was, the
property was claimed by tho son Of the Green
Sod" and the other two served as witnesses TO
prove property. Tho property being given up,
the couniryman was treated to a glass of Lager
Beer and The three scamps left, chucklng oyo
their prize, gained by their youthful vilhinv.-
Their names are withheld through respect for the
parents of one of the young men, though Justice
requires their exposition. J.VJONES.

Romance in Real Life.

The Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal SAYS that maj,
living near there, lost his wife some years age
in Homer, N. T., that they had little girl
who he gave to "A friend and left the country
He was gone l0years, and returned but could
find no trace of his child She had two marks
by which he might know her, one toe was gone
and she had scar on her arm. The man gave
her up as lost to him and finally settled near
Bucyrus and married. The rest we give from
that paper.
About six weeks ago, he happened to pass
by the room in his house occupied by SER
Want girl who had resided with him nearly two
years, at a time wheo she was about to retire,
and the door being open he saw her foot He
merely glanced at it. and happened TO notice
that the little toe Of the right foot ,ras missing.
He thought nothing of it at the time, but af-
ter retiring the idea struck him, that it might
be the daughter he had searched for SO long,
AT first he dismissed the thought as imprOba-
BILE, but still forced itself upon him, until finally
he requested his wife to go to the room and as.
certain whether there was or not, marks of a
scald upon her right arm. She went. and to
his immense delight reported that the marks
were there. The poor man was SO positive of
her identity, that the girl was awakened, and
in the middle of the night was questioned as
to her origin.

were that she lived somewhere in the east with

self by doing Homework since.
This tailed 80 nearly with the already ascer-
tanned facts in the case that the next day the
father started east with her, and visiting the
different points she had named, ascertained to
his great joy, that she was in truth his daugh-
Ter.
She is an extremely beautiful girl, of great
natural intelligence. and though totally uned-
ucated, is still Interesting.
She is now at Granville, O., receiving an ed
ucation to fit her for the new station she has
assumed in life.

Crevasses in the Mississippi.

Crevasses in the Mississippi.
The New Orleans Picayune Of May, l6, pub.

great crevasse at Bells plantations, and state
ment Of the condition Of the waters. Accord
ing to the Picayune's figures the damages &C.
casoned by this disaster will reach four or five
millions of dollars. 1t says;
On no less than five different occasions has
The city of New Orleans been partially inundat-
ed by crevasses which occurred in the levees
above it, The first of the visitatons was in
1885, the second in 1871, the third in 1899, the
fourth in 1916, and the last in 1910. This
spring the river is unusually high, higher in
deed than it has been since 1910; but the lev
ees in the vicinity Of the city are SO well
watched and kept in such a thorough state of
repair, that no fears of an overflow are enter
tanned.
The plantation of Mr.. Bell, on which the
crevasse occurred, is situated about two miles
above the upper limits of the city. and on the
opposite or right bank. Through the levee at
this point there was formerly wooden sluice,
inclosed on all sides, through which water was
conveyed from the river to the rice fields in the
rear Of the plantation. In repairing the levee
after the cultivation of rice had been abandon.
ed, this sluice was removed, and the Place which
it had occupied was filled with earth. But the
earth does not appear to have been packed with
sufficient solidity, and when the river rose to
its greatest heish it found the weak spot, and
having once forced apassage. it continued to
widen the gap with a might and fury which
were wholly irresistible. The neighboring
planters Immediately joined their forces to
those of Mr.. Bell and put into requisiton the
ordinary appliances for the closing of such
breaches. Their efforts, however. proved una
vaaing, and not only was the whole plantation
in a chort time submerged, but the inundating
waters, contrary to expectation, crossed neigh
boring canal and embankment, which were re-
lied on as protection for the plantations and
villages further down the river, and carried de.
vastation in their track for many miles. The
damages caused by this overflow are variously
estimated at from four to five millions of dol
lars, the general impression being that for two
seasons no sugar crops can be raised on the
submerged plantations.
