OUR HARBoR-The question how
shall we improve our harbor?" is be-
ginning to>attract considerable atten-
ton, and it is one that demands the
serious and early consideration of the
city authorities, and of commercial
circles. 4 1t is true that when there is
fair stage of water, steamboats, find
no difficulty in getting to and from
the wharf, but when the water, is ex-
extremely low. as at present, there Is
serious trouble in getting to the
wharf. 1t is the general impression
among river men that if some speedy
remedy is not applied, that the bust
|. ness of the city, except in high water,
will be transferred to the Lamasco
wharf, and the expensive and excel
lent improvements now being put
upon the wharf viii be all lost and
useless. -, ~
I'VE hear several methods mentioned
for the improvement of the harbor.
One is the construction of wing
dam from the Kentucky shore to
throw the current aud body of the
water to this side, which, it is sup
posed, would wash out the bar that
now looms up SO threateningly. An
other is to dredge channel through
the upper. part of the bar and draw
the water through-while third, and
decidedly the most feasible, is TO, re-
open the bayou. and restore the old
chasnel This would bean expensive
undertaking but would well repay the
city the cost Whatever the city and
commercial men propose to do on the.
subject SHOULD bedone quickly, as the
trouble is annually growing more seri-
GUS.
We are mot among the number of
those who apprehend that the river is
going to cut through the neck and
leave Evansville out in the country,
but il, there is a possibility of such a
coutingency-re-openi the bayou
would end all dagger on that subject.
AN OLDDEBT PA1D-The readers
of the gJoURNAL wiki mo doubt re-
member that some year or two ago
we published scrap of history, Civ 4
ing an account of trade that was
made some thirty-two years ago be-
tween Morgan Jones, "a fur dealer
and general shop keeper. of Vim !
cennes, and & hunter named Tom
johnson, and the remarkable cor
respondence On the subject It viii
be remembered that Tom johnson
bought gun from Jones. and agreed
to pay him in fur during the APP
preaching Winter aud that aafter
waiting four years without hearing
from his debtor, Jones received
letter FROM Johnson in these words:

Morgan Jones waited in vain for
his fur, and died without the $ sight,
but johnson 8 conscience would not
give him rest. and having gone 50 fur
der" eYen to the > back 3border of
