MAKING LOVE on STEAMBoATS.-Ma
king love on steamboats, is very dan
gerous business, says the New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Sunday
Mercury and very apt to lead to trouble
in the family, especially on the North
River. Matters are done up here some
times in this way: Unthinking gentle
man, Mr.. Green, has lady put under his
charge by somebody, perhaps by gentle
manly stranger, who, in confidence style
asks him to see her ashore after they
reach Hudson Mr.. Green becomes
rather fascinated by his interesting pro-
tege-more or less. Very dull on board
steamboat-passengers tired to death.
Mr.. Green prosecutes intimacy, and
meets with bewildering success. Pas
sengers continue to be very dull. Mr..
Green continues to advance. Passen-
gers won't mind little scandal to pass
away the time. Green's young lady is
observed by other young ladies-and
good, sweet ladies-to cry great deal
in very conspicuous parts of the vessel,
and suddenly mufles up her face and
sobs, or else runs. Lady passengers
filed with pity conclude that Green is
wretch. Ask girl if he isn't. Girl boo
hoos. Grand indignation scene. Pas
sengers hold meeting; noble impul-
sive hearts let out their fine feelings
high-toned, moral captain looks grimly
and virtuously sagacous winks to pas
sengers. Takes Mr. Green aside and
bullies him about the girl. Green turns
blue. Captain calls him villain before
folks, and orders marriage certificate
Green declines. Captain produces two
revolvers, a bowie knife. and clergy
man Green caves in and consents
Young lady overwhelmed, other ladies
overwhelmed, rybody overwhelmed.

ges winks with the bride when umob-
served by the rest of the party. All

Ducks OF WoMEN-Dicken' House.
boId Words relates the folowing:
The Siamese spend three-fourths of
their existence in the water. Their first
act on awakening is to bathe; they
bathe at IL o'clock, they bathe again at
3, and bathe again at about sunset; there
is scarcely an hour in the day when ba-
theirs may not be seen in all the creeks,
even the shallowest and muddiest. Boys

English children go to play in the street.
| once saw a Siamese woman sitting on
the lowest step of landing place, while
by girdle she held in the water her in
FAINT of few months old, splashing and
kicking about with evident enjoyment
Were not these people expert swimmers
many lives would be lost, for the tide
flows so swiftly that it needs the great
est skill and care to prevent boats run
ming foul of one another, and of course
they are frequently upset. On one oc-
casion our boat an English built gig
ran down small native canoe, contain
ing a woman and two little children. In
an instant they were all capsized and
disappeared. We were greatly alarm
ed and G. was on the point of jumping
in to their rescue, when they bobbed up,
and the lady, with the first breath she
recovered, poured forth a round volley
of abuse. Thus relieved in her mind,
she coolly righted her canoe-which
had been floating bottom upwards-la-
died out some of the water, and bundled
IN her two children, who had been mean
while composedly swimming around her,
regarding with mingled fear and curios-
ity the barbarians who had caused the
mishap."

Crevasses in the Mississippi.
The New Orleans Picayune Of May, l6, pub
fishes supplement. containing view of the
great crevasse at Bells plantations, and state
ment Of the condition of the waters. Accord
ing to the Picayune's figures the damages &C.
casioned 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 visitations 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 IF the city are so well
watched and kept in such 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 lcvee 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 height it found the weak spot, and
having once forced a passage, it continued to
widen the gap with might and fury which
were wholly irresistible. The neighboring
planters Immediately joined their forces to
those of Mr.. Bell and put into re9uisition the
ordinary appliances for the closing of such
breaches. Their efforts, however proved una
yailing, and not only was the whole plantation
in chort time submerged, but the inundating
waters, contrary to expectation, crossed q 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. ~s4"
