THE CRE1ASSE IN ST. BERNARD
OF THE TIDAL WAVE


About nine o'clock Sunday night, owing
to the increased height Of the river caused
by the tidal wave, a crevasse about forty
feet wide occurred at Magnolia plantation,
two miles below the Barracks, in St. Ber-
nard parish. About thousand acres Of
cane have been submerged, but as the break
will be repaired to-day, the damage will not
be large.
Chief Engineer, General NJ. JEFF Tho,np-
son, dispatched down a tug with men and
materials to stop the crevasse, and they
were working with good effect when he left
there last evening. General Thompson ar
rived in the city about nine o'clock last
night, and is confident that the levee will
be in such condition this evening that the
flow of water Will be stopped entirely.
After his return General Thompson re-
ceived the following dispatch from Mr.. f.
Smith:
The work is progressing satisfactorily.
think it will be closed by Tuesday night.
will send all the white men up by the St.
Nicholas, as can do without them.
The following dispatch was received
from vicksburg yesterday, addressed to
General Thompson:
The river has fallen thirty inches at Lake
Providence and about eight here, and is
still falling rapidly.

Mrs. Harper delivered very interesting
lecture, at the chapel Of Straight .Univcr-
sity, last evening. The subject was one of
interest, more particularly, however, to the
lately emancipated. Mrs. Harper has a
pleasing delivery and cultivated accent.
Her style is simple and conversational; and,
while clear to the less informed, is satfi-
ciently ornate to be acceptable to cultivated
ears.
A colored woman herself, her efforts
are directed, not to the entertainment
Of the educated Caucasian, but to the ele-
walton of the race from which she in part
has sprung. Her theme was the duties of
the colored race with their enlarged oppor-
tunities, the necessity of looking more to
labor and less to politics, Of letting social
equality take care of itself, and lastly, the
duty colored women owe to their race and
to themselves in upholding the sanctity
of the marriage relation. So far, her lecture
was such as must be approved by all right
minded people. We regret to say that she
concluded by disquisition on that least un
derstood and crudest of all human ''isms,,
wOman's rights. The chapel was not
crowded, but there was present an audience
respectable both in numbers and intelli-
gence.

Parl0P Concert.

A brilliant audience attended the second
parlor concert, given at Odd Fellows Hall
last evening, under the direction of Mr.. A.

gratifying. We regretted to observe that
Mr.. Chase himself was suffering from the
effects of a cold; yet, even under that dis
advantage, he sustained his reputation.
1t would be difficult to particnlarize, except
by including the whole programme.

CITY OF Mexico, April IL, via HAVANA,
April 17.-Martin Carrera, ex-president Of
Mexico. is dead.
Fifty-twO journals advocate the re-elec-
tion OF Juarez; forty faver Porfiro Diaz,
and ten Tejada.
General Samancbez Oches has been ap-
pointed minister to Washington.
The Group and measles have become epi-
demic at Durango; the deaths from these
diseases average thirty day.
An attempt to assassinate political
leader in Morales has caused fresh troubles
there. The chief assassin alleged he was
hired by two members of the Legislature,
Cudira and Bello; both were arrested.
The government proposes to introduce
reforms in the laws which shall be appli-
cable to all the States of the republic.
Among the changes to be made is one that
it considers especially desirable that within
the church buildings the civil authorities
shall he pOwerless, while outside their
churches the clergy shall be equally power
less.
The regular session of the national Con-
gress began ON the first.
Sen0r Hernandez, president of the cham
Der, in his opening speech alluded to the
fears expressed by many Of direct interven-
powers in the coming election for president,
and to muttered threats, heard everywhere,
Of refusal to accept the decision of the
people at the polls. He deprecated such
expressions as foreboding evil for the
country.
Romero has submitted to Congress q
scheme for the consolidation Of the national
debt at q rate of interest beginning with
half Of one per cent per annum, and in
creasing half per cent semi-annually until
it reaches three per cent. He says the debt
Of Mexico is domestic, not foreign. Its
creditors are merely private parties. Mex
leo has never contracted public loan.
This plan, like others which have been
proposed by Romero, is considered imprac-
ticable, and he will hardly be able to carry
it through Congress.
The extra session Of Congress was barren
Of results.
Juarez is gaining ground in his campaign
for the presidency. He proposes that the
election Of president in the future be direct
BY the people, and not through the electoral
college.
Parties accuse each other Of endeavoring
to bring Mexico under the American dAg.
